An Extra’s POV

Chapter 149

As the sun dipped in the horizon, the Royal Estate was filled with what could only be described as a mixed reaction.

The Royal Council, which had been deliberating on several affairs all day, was first of all interrupted by the news of slaves and the responsible slave traders mysteriously appearing in their front gate.

The reason they could recognize them as slaves was simply due to the tags that each person had on.

Those who didn't have tags were recognized as the lowlives of the underworld due to their Enchanted Items, or markings on their bodies that earlier investigations had deciphered to belong to a criminal mastermind known as Evals Redart.

What was most surprising was that this very Evals Redart was also among the unconscious ones that were presented at the Royal Estate's gate.

No one knew who brought them, or how they ended up there in the first place.

One moment, the entire passage was empty, and the next, it was filled with bodies.

The Royal Council was immediately alerted about this development by the Head Guard, considering how big a step towards progress this all was.

However, the mixed reactions that were given wasa—to put it very mildly—very unexpected.

Grandmaster Conrad and Lady Vida seemed immensely satisfied by the news, but the other three had somewhat cautious or even worried expressions.

Of course, no one suspected them of any malevolent intentions or thoughts, so their reactions were simply chalked down to intense surprise.

And so, while bright smiles decorated a few faces, dreary looks were plastered on the faces of others.

The Royal Council meeting didn't end yet, though. There were a bunch of issues to be addressed, after all.

They merely gave instructions to the guards and continued.

However, the second wave of news caused them to adjourn their gathering.

… And it was none other than the report of the return of the lost Otherworlders, along with the man who found them.
