Chapter 580: Third Floor

Jake felt bad when he saw her helplessness, but not so bad as to offer her a fraction of his precious supply of alloy liquid. Maybe if the two of them had a good relationship and he was sure he could trust her he would have made a kind gesture, but right now it was just a futile effort to expect any altruism from him.

If there was also a universal bank established in the Mirror Universe or even B842, he intended to open an account there.
