I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 54: Let Him Be Our Eyes

The 'bounty' set by the Truth Union was something known by everyone.

All you do is research stuff like 'fully-automated hair washers' or a 'dual-purpose muffler glove'. In my opinion, the vice-chairman should cut your expenses.”

Following that, he asked with a weird look on his face, "Was there really someone who took on Wild
