He immediately called the logistics staff and pointed at the list.
"What does this mean? Once I make the exchange, does this person become my property?"
The logistics staff naturally replied, "Of course."
"This is permissible? Even if I kill him?"
The logistics staff's expression suddenly darkened.
"Of course not! Why would you think that?" he watched Rod warily, "I will report your inclination to the Disciplinary Committee, and you will be restricted from using this power."
Rod covered his face and muttered discontentedly, "That's not what I meant. I'm asking why there is such a list? Do they volunteer for this? Do they know they are being put on a list to be exchanged, and are they happy about it?"
The logistics staff looked at him strangely. "Of course, they volunteer. Why wouldn't they be happy to become a part of a powerful family? It's what countless people dream of."
Rod was stunned. "Why?"
The logistics staff looked at him as if he were a strange creature.
