An Extra’s POV

[6 Days Later]

"So, how did today's transaction go?"

As Rey sat on his bed, he gazed at Noah—his trusty agent—and the Spatial Ring that sat on his outstretched hand.

They were currently in Rey's room, and business was the topic of discourse.

"It went the same as usual. They sold at the usual rate. It doesn't seem like the value has gone down at all…"

As Noah elaborated on the details of the day's trade, Rey took the Spatial Ring and poured out its content.

'Looks like all the cash is here…' His thoughts trailed as he opened the sack of coins and counted the platinum pieces.

Every day, for the past six days, Noah had been selling Monster Cores to the Black Market and bringing Rey the revenue.

He didn't take anything out of the pieces and waited tor Rey to give him his share per the agreement.

'350 Monster Cores equal 2,450 Gold Coins, which is 24.5 Platinum Coins. It's all here…'

24 Platinum Coins and 50 Gold Coins sat at Rey's feet, and he was practically unbothered about it.

Perhaps this was because he had other things on his mind.

"As agreed upon, you'll be taking 10 percent from it."

That was practically 2.45 Platinum Coins.

Rey took out 22 Platinum Coins and placed it in another pouch that he got from his Subspace.

He threw the pouch of 2 Platinum and 50 Coins to Noah, who caught it with relative ease.

"Thanks, boss!"

Rey smiled and gave a light shrug.

'So far, it doesn't seem like Noah has any intention to betray me. Since he can earn a stable source of income like this just by being my errand boy, it's not a bad deal…'

Rey realized that he didn't know everything, and that it was possible for Noah to be lying about the actual price of the Monster Cores.

For all he knew, they could have increased in value and Noah wouldn't say anything.

'But that's also fine. I won't press on a matter that I'm not certain about.'

He doubted that was the case, though.
