Sitting at the table while being stared at by the members of the Underworld Council like a sheep between hungry wolves, Howard tried his best to relax.
'Am I in trouble?!'
He gulped hard before eyeing Mr.Dealer with a forced smile.
"Haha, this....Can I....Umm....Ask what's going on?", he stuttered while sweating.
Mr.Dealer had his signature smile on his face as he pocketed his silver clockwatch.
"This is what I was talking about. A better deal than the one before, with lowered risks and more company. Quite expensive if you'll ask me though, but fret not..."
He gestured his hands around the table, a tone of confidence in his voice.
"....because we're more than enough to get this work done."
Glancing at the people in front of him, Howard sensed their power from just sitting in the same room as them, making him take a deep breath.
