The two Conglomerate leaders were a bit caught off guard when Michael asked this question.
After all, both Theresa and Levi never actively talked to each other when they made this decision.
They both found out about the presence of the magical monsters separately. But they made the joint decision of keeping it a secret. They both knew that the other was aware of this.
"Why?" Levi asked, tilting his head. "As a company leader, you should know this."
Seeing Michael still confused, Theresa took the initiative to explain. "It's because it's an opportunity. These magical monsters are dangerous. For now. That will all change once we are able to dissect them and learn everything there was to know about their biology.
And then, we domesticate them. Imagine raising an army of monsters, each one having the strength of a Nascent Spirit cultivator. I'll be unstoppable!"
Hearing their explanations, Michael couldn't help but inwardly shake his head in disappointment.
