An Extra’s POV

Chapter 151

"W-what do we want…?"

Conrad found himself stuttering for a moment due to the suddenness of the question, but he quickly corrected himself.

He never expected this man to be so straightforward.

Even for an Adventurer—one whose name wasn't even well-known—he was being quite bold.

"I believe I already told your guard over there the details of my actions. I also informed him that I do not need any reward." Ralyks said very calmly.

His voice wasn't imposing, but it wasn't respectful either.

He was just terribly blunt—saying things without a filter, or regard for who he said them to.

Conrad didn't realize when he started to respect him.

"The reason you two, esteemed members of the Royal Council, would want to meet with me is because you want something." He emphasized his point and drew closer.

"So what do you want?"

Conrad felt pressure unlike anything else he had ever experienced until now.

He indeed wanted something, but the fact that Ralyks had taken the initiative meant he no longer had the advantageous ground.

It was taking him longer to articulate his intentions and present them in a way that suited the current context better.

"First of all, we'd like to thank you for your help. For finding those two for us…"

"As I explained to the guard, I was only doing a job. I was paid by a kid who happened to be desperate. I would normally not have accepted it, but since I could sense his sincerity, I decided to take the job."

The way Ralyks said it made everything seem like common sense.

He—a very capable Adventurer—just happened to be around to help a desperate boy.

However, no one could fault him.

In cases like this, a Truthseeker would be most useful, but Conrad didn't dare bring such a thing before a guest whom they owed so much to.
