An Extra’s POV

"This is the place."

Rey and Noah stood in front of a massive building—one of the biggest in the area.

Of course, it wasn't more than three storeys, but it was very wide.

It was clear that a lot of activities went on in this building, and it wasn't for the faint of heart.

"You actually did business here?!"

Rey was shocked that someone as timid as Noah had the gall to try out such an intimidating structure.

"W-well, I was approached by an affiliate who brought me here."

"A-ahh… that's true."

According to Noah's story, he was initially just looking for a place to sell the Monster Cores when he was approached by a guy who told him he'd help him sell the goods.

The guy was the one who took him to this establishment and helped him through all the processes.

'That's most likely the one who was involved in the scam…'

The company must have dealt directly with the so-called Affiliate, who in turn dealt with Noah.

He probably pretended to be the seller and got to bargain with the real buyers. As a result, he was able to gain a lot of profit while relaying a smaller price to the gullible Noah.

'That's how those sorts of people make their money.'

"Shouldn't we be looking for the guy, then?" Noah asked Rey.

"Nah! There's no need. People like that are very slippery…"

Besides, it was a waste of time.

There was no real law in this place except the Unspoken Rules. As long as the seller and buyer came to a consensus about the price of an item and it was sold, that was the end of the matter.

Pursuing anything outside that would only be arbitrary.

"Now that we know exactly what we're dealing with, we can make a more informed decision."

The fact that no 'Affiliate' had approached them yet proved his point.
