The kidnappers—no, the "buyers"—had voiced their approval, so Gideon naturally had to seize the opportunity and sell its value.
"Because it underwent special conditioning, it theoretically has Celestial potential. I'm certain of that. This is absolutely prime merchandise!"
It was just that the clients refused to follow the rules!
