An Extra’s POV

Profit and Loss

Buying and Selling.

Stakes and Rewards.

Business was simply a complicated game where the players were the buyers and sellers.

In the end, both sides wanted to win, and it was often the case that only one party became ultimately victorious.

The seller would desire to sell at the highest price possible, while the buyer desired to get the product or service at the cheapest rate available.

In the end, the one with the lesser bargaining power or skill ended up losing and compromising their positions.

That was how Rey saw it.

"It's not technically a lie…" He smiled at Noah, who didn't wholly understand his thought process.

"Don't worry. I doubt it'll get to that level."

The United Human Alliance was in a precarious state. Rey doubted they would have the luxury of worrying about where Rey got a single Enchanted Item.

'I even asked Aldred, and unless the item is appraised, there's no way of telling what it really does…'

Why would the United Human Alliance go to all the trouble of yanking off and appraising the property of one of their strongest assets?

It was never going to happen.

'It's a relief we're able to use Enchanted Items now, though.'

Rey wondered what his classmates had gotten with their Gold Coin.

'I doubt they'd spend it wisely…'
