An Extra’s POV

Rey's heart was racing as he stared at the coordinates.

His fists were tightly clenched, and he felt his eyes growing bloodshot.

'Why would Alicia be in the Black Market?!' He instantly knew that she couldn't have been there on her own free will.

She was clearly in some kind of trouble.

'Is it because of Billy? I'm sure it's him!'

Remembering the face of his former best friend was enough to make him grit his teeth.

He was fully annoyed.

Despite Rey's annoyance, though, he felt a wave of relief hit him.

'At least I found her. Ditching the rest and coming here on my own really was the right move.'

Rey was able to leave the watch of the Investigation Squad and come here on his own after they all split up looking for clues.

Thanks to that, he managed to slip into the Black Market space.

'I simply guessed that I could use their network or information channels to find Alicia.'

Rey had also considered them using Tracking Magic on their Items, but he didn't think it would be this detailed.

He also didn't like the implications that it brought to the table.

'If they can always track any Item I buy from them, then am I really safe from their prying eyes?'

However, after Aldred explained the process to him—revealing the implications of doing something of the sort—Rey recognized that they probably wouldn't want to do something like that.

And even if they did… he would know.

'I better hurry, though. Since we've located the Item, it would have alerted the one who has it.'

In Rey's mind, that person was Alicia.
