Names

Xavier asked the 5 elite guards of the one-eyed demon for their names as he prepared to leave the fight club with his duffel bag filled with cash, but the answer he received was definitely not what he was expecting.

He and the 5 of them had come to a mutual understanding very quickly. And, as intelligent and capable individuals, they also all had at least some respect for each other.

Since that was the case, Xavier expected them to at least give him fake names to avoid ending things on an awkward note.

However, they all had the same response.

"We don't have names."

"...?"

There was an awkward silence, and at first, Xavier thought they might be joking, but seeing that they were serious, he couldn't hide how shocked he was.

"What?! You don't have names?" he exclaimed.

They had wry smiles as a few of them scratched their heads and tried to think of a way to explain how they didn't have names, which was very hard to believe.
