An Extra’s POV

'How will this go…?'

Aldred tightened his fingers that were wrapped around one another as he made a resolute stare at the man before him.

Despite his confident demeanor, he was quite nervous.

'He hasn't shown up to sell to us in a few days, so the expansion plan has been compromised because of him…'

There was a chance that the man before then had broken the Exclusive contract and sold to another party, but Aldred didn't want to think that.

He just didn't seem like that kind of guy.

But, even if he did break their agreement, what was he supposed to do?

'He had an S-Tier Skill. Father warned me not to make him our enemy no matter what…'

That meant he couldn't even be penalized for breaking the contract.

All that the Group could do was try to renegotiate and strengthen their bond.

'We've given him no reason to doubt our sincerity. And while it isn't much, by disciplining that lowlife, I hoped we could show just how useful and committed we are to him.'

The man's unimpressed tone told Aldred that this move wasn't as effective as he had hoped, but he couldn't give up.

'For the expansion to other markets… we need a bulk of goods.'

If possible; the same amount as what he brought last time.

No—even double.

It actually didn't matter the amount he could provide. The more Monster Cores he had, the bigger their profit would be.

Aldred just hoped their esteemed seller would cooperate with them.

'In all my years, I've never been pushed to this point…'

Aldred learned everything he knew from his father, and he had spent his entire life in the KariBlanc Group.

He knew the inner workings of business and he had long mastered the art of negotiation.
