The Essence of Cooperation
"Master... what is Mayuri Kurotsuchi trying to do? Does he really intend to cooperate with you?"
Morgana asked, a smile curling her lips. After following Ren for so many years, some of Morgana's traits had become similar to his. In Ren's eyes, two people who could cooperate had to possess equal strength. Once there was a so-called disparity between them, it was no longer cooperation.
