An Extra’s POV

"N-none of them… can…?"

It didn't take a genius to understand what those words meant.

Even for Evals, who was currently wallowing in confusion and pain, the words made it painfully clear what the masked man did.

"Y-you killed them…!!" His eyes nearly popped out of their suckers as his smushed face trembled in terror.

He feared he would be next.

"What? No! I just prevented all the sound we made from escaping. They can't hear anything… literally."

The way the masked man spoke about it felt like he was joking.

Evals didn't know what to believe anymore.

"You deserve death, but that would be a waste. You'll be way more useful alive." The masked man continued as he advanced further.

Evals Redart didn't let the distance fool him, though. He knew the man could just appear in front of him anytime he wished.

In essence, the slave trader was trapped.

"You run a whole network of trade in the Slavery Business. I'm sure you're well-connected to the other slave-traders in the United Human Alliance."

The masked man wasn't wrong.

Evals knew the other two who ran an equally successful empire as him.

None of them were friends, and in most instances, they were competitors.

However, they shared a mutual banner—the illegal trade of living humans as if they were nothing but livestock.

"All of that information will be useful to the Royal Council. I'm sure they'll use it to prevent more tragedies like this from happening ."

The moment Evals heard this, his eyes widened more than ever before,

"Y-you… you report to the Royal Council?! Is that why you're here?! To stop me on their behalf? Y-you… you are—!"

"[Sleep]." The moment the masked man said this, Evals felt a wave of drownings hit him.

However, the feeling didn't last long thanks to the Resistance his Enchanted Earrings provided him with.
