Captain Levin surprised Nikolai. He spoke of cooperation, and that's precisely what he offered. The twenty high-ranked SSS hunters with him would help open, enter and close the gates one by one.
'This is too good to turn down, but Madoka. She's dangerous.'
He wanted to ask the old captain, but chose not to. What if Madoka didn't share more than the basic information? It would be giving the SSS more ammunition to use against him and the Volkov clan.

Nikolai was damned if she wanted nothing. That crazy woman who attacked him in the middle of the street, then tried to seduce him multiple times until she succeeded, and they crossed the line.
