An Extra’s POV

An uncomfortable silence hung in the air.

The unnatural sight of a grown, massive man bowing to the much smaller man in darkness made the entire scenario all the more tense.

No one could afford to speak in this heavy atmosphere, and for a few seconds, they could only watch each other.

Then—

"What's the use of a bow? I hope you do not intend on convincing me with cheap emotional appeals."

As Rey said this, he felt the man's big build tremble a little.

"O-of course not!" Rebal Blanc responded, a big smile on his face.

He looked nothing like Asher, but it seemed like they both liked to smile in situations like this.

Rey took a sip out of the tea that had been placed on the table since he arrived.

The tea never got cold thanks to the Enchanted Cup that it was poured into; as such, Rey didn't need to gulp down the whole thing.

Instead, he preferred to systematically take his time.

This situation was no different.

"Hmm." After taking a small sip of the sweet liquid, he cast his gaze on the two men before him.

It seemed they were completely at his mercy.

"Sit down and get straight to the point. I prefer things being done that way."

In response to his words, the KariBlanc Boss actually obeyed very seamlessly.

'Wow! They must be really desperate…'

He decided not to comment on anything until they were done telling him whatever favor they desired of him.

'If it's something doable, then there's nothing stopping me from assisting them. From the looks on their faces, it seems like they'd be grateful for the help.'

Of course, Rey remembered his decision to stay away from the Black Market and Criminal Underworld as a whole.
