When Joriya returned to the central area of the ward, he heard Allison and the elf arguing. As he approached, the elf glared at him and shrieked out, "He's going to rape us! He's a vile beast! Look at the bruise he left on my wrist! The bastard tried to rape me!"

He glowered at the woman. "I only grabbed your wrist when you kept trying to attack me for no reason. You Hilnarian pawn. At least I have gotten a deal with my Patron to protect our planet instead of conquering us. I bet you decided to betray the human race after you changed yourself to an elf."

The elf paled as he said that. "You horrible creature! How dare you try to give our planet to a brutal, barbaric race! This planet will belong to Prince Kazikin Lorcalis! I will be made his thirtieth wife! Humanity was doomed already."

"Sorry, but the Earth will not become a new Hilnarian Property. Anyways, it's time for humanity to band together more than ever, not hand over our world and our potential to some Galactic Superpower. I got a promise of autonomy and protection from my Patrons."

"So, you're going to open up a new area for illegal immigration?" Allison asked.

"I was thinking more of a new embassy... Anyways, the likelihood of the United States remaining when there are going to be hundreds of millions of people who are equivalent to nuclear weapons on their own part is rather slim, don't you think? Not to mention with those coins you picked up being a Galactic Currency, where people can tell if they are getting a good price based off the default price listed in the Shop, the US Dollar is about to be worth just as much as the paper it is printed on," Joriya explained. "Then again, every nation is about to go through the financial turmoil, so it would be the Galactics that had the advantage with this Currency. There should have been a minimum of fifty copper coins, and a higher tier coin from the boss."

Allison burst out laughing. "You mean my student loans are worthless?"

"Well, unless the government allows them to roll them over to PPP Coins, but then there needs to be a conversion scale created, and if I don't mistake my estimation, a Skill would hit about 10 from a full year of High School, while a Skill Level of 20 is about College 101-102 or something like that. We'll know more after the children actually do a full year under the new system. Question is, will the United States still be here in a year, and how will they try to regulate PPP Usage.

"There is quite a lot of things in the Shop that will cause the government to go insane about. Especially if other people unlock extra options as I have. Not to mention that the different supremacist groups will probably become Human Supremacists, then there will be the people who become elves like her who will have heavy cases of Elven Superiority. Oh, and the fact that the wild areas of the world have grown in size and danger, with monsters spawning, as well as the natural fauna, twisting with the unlocking of various energies."

"I found a total of sixty of the copper coins, however, I couldn't find any coin in the waiting area where you killed the boss..." Allison stated calmly, moving to hand over the sixty coins she had gathered.

"It was probably only a Bronze coin worth five PPP, or an Iron Coin worth ten max. I doubt a freshly spawned boss like that would be worth anything more. Keep those sixty coppers for yourself, Allison. I have more than enough of the coins," he responded.

Allison's eyes widened at the sudden realization after he pointed out the information about the fact that there would be a new currency, and that dungeons are able to provide easy access to them.

"So, I have multiple defenses in place should the government try to punish me for placing a node in the name of my Patron, the easiest being the First Amendment, as my Patron is classed as a Deity, or for those who don't understand that term, a God. Therefore, they cannot prevent me from performing an act of service in his name since it violates no rules and it will be on private property.

"Anyways, I will not allow Earth to be conquered by an outside force..." Shop, I'm sorry to bother you again so soon, but I need a pair of auto-fit handcuffs that seal System Use. With how many wars the Galactics have been through, I'm pretty sure you'd have had these made to try to save prisoner of war lives, let alone local jurisdictions needing them to keep criminals from just blasting their ways out.

*DING!*

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I need. One set of them, for now, please, he thought. Once they appeared in his hand, he looked at the elf. "I will not allow you to throw my plans into chaos, so I will have to insist on you putting on these shackles and placing yourself in Allison's care. Once my Patron's forces have a firm foothold on the planet, we will release you. I will even sign a System Contract on it if you agree to not cause trouble while in Allison's care."

She glowered at him and snorted, "fine, have it that way. I'll just stay beside her. Allison, you will be responsible for making sure nothing happens to me, or I will have my Prince rip your heart out."

Allison sighed tiredly, "So long as there is a clause that relieves me of responsibility if whatever happens to you is of your own fault"

*TING*

There was a loud chime sound as a document appeared between them for them to sign. Once they had all signed, it glowed and split into three while a beam of light entered each of them.
