Philis looked at him with narrowed eyes before retorting, ''Aquaria treats us well regarding their taxes, but why should we pay more? What do we get out of it?''
''Protection, help, support from the state, I will personally send out teams of hunters to collect rare specimens,'' Archer answered with a smirk that shocked the old couple whose eyes were wide.
