"Damn it! Paul, you can't do this! Do you know how much effort we put into catching these rats! I almost lost my life there! Who knows how these damn monsters got so strong! They're demons! You're sending us to fight demons! And then you cut our money, it's not fair!"
The others around, upon hearing Morris' words, started whispering among themselves, which gradually turned into jeering and catcalling.
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became somewhat tense.
