"Third, you feel that entering into a contract with me is beneath you. But you haven't considered that you are just an outdated beast caught in the flow of time. That I was even willing to take you in is a massive act of benevolence on my part!
Fourth, have you forgotten that there is another Taowu out there? There can only be one Taowu in the same space-time. If I dissolve our contract and you run out there, do you really want to be annihilated by the power of time?!
So, the reason I won't dissolve the contract is to protect you! I am protecting you at the risk of offending the Taowu outside! Instead of being grateful, you want to drag me down to the grave with you—do you even have the right to speak to me about conscience?"
