An Extra’s POV

'He… He's hereee!!!'

Gary was overjoyed beyond compare.

He didn't think he had ever been this happy from the day he was born until now.

'H-he must have woken up due to all the noise…'

Once he concluded that, Gary convinced himself that the reason he had been screaming and shouting like a pathetic little rat was so he could get the Leader's attention.

Yes… this was all a part of the plan!

'N-now that Leader Gus is here, I'm saved!' Gary thought to himself with glee.

"Looks like you're the only one who survived. Of all my capable men, it had to be you…"

Gary felt his body rise from the pool of blood. It was being lifted by the Leader, who tightly grabbed his head with one hand,

Leader Gus was an extremely robust man—many could call him very fat.

However, he wasn't particularly obese. No, he claimed that the reason for his huge size and round potbelly was due to the strong muscles he gathered there.

The fact that he could effortlessly raise a grown man like Gary as if it was nothing proved his assertion.

Leader Gus was extremely strong!

"S-sorry, Leader. Haha… I'll try my best…"

Gary felt his body draw closer to the huge face of his leader as the man grinned at him with some sort of evil gleam in his eyes.

"Oh, I'm sure you will. But first…" Gus' unoccupied hand was stretched out, as if expecting something.

Gary felt confused.

He stared at the raised eyebrow of his Leader, but even then it took a while before he finally understood what Gus meant.

"A-ahh… the ring!"

His only viable hand trembled as he struggled to remove the pouch from his crotch and present it to the overweight man.

Gary wasn't particularly keen on parting with such a treasure, but he was more interested in living.

Besides, perhaps he could get a cut from the whole thing if the Leader sold the ring.

'We just have to get through these guys first…' As Gary thought this, while dropping the pouch on his Leader's outstretched hand, he felt something squeeze his head tightly.

"U-um… Leader, y-you're squeezing a little too—"
