An Extra’s POV

Rebal Blanc's heart was racing.

As he stared at the man known as Ralyks, he felt a sensation he hadn't gotten in the longest time.

—Sheer Intimidation!

Rebal was genuinely anxious as he sat on his seat while staring at Ralyks.

After the man had deciphered his identity after just one meeting, Rebal knew he was the real deal.

'How long has he known Aldred's real name? Since the very first day too? Damnit, I messed up!'

Those were his initial thoughts when he mulled over the meaning behind Ralyks stating both their names so casually.

Now that he had calmed down, Rebal could tell that it was just a show of power.

Thankfully, Ralyks wasn't offended that they had kept Asher's identity a secret.

The reason he was currently was because he was waiting for Ralyks' answer.

Right now, the KariBlanc Group needed a miracle.

He and his son had been strategizing different routes to take in their plans, but they always ended up coming up short due to their current lack of enough resources.

If they were to turn the situation around, they needed help—a lot of it.

"Fine… I'm in."

The moment Rebal heard those words from Ralyks' lips, his heart nearly skipped a beat.

He knew he was a little emotional a short moment ago, but he couldn't help it. He had thought that it would turn the man off, but thankfully that wasn't the case.

"Thank you, Sir Ralyks." Once again, Rebal bowed.

Asher, who stood beside him, also bowed as well.

He hadn't spoken a single word since the start of the meeting, as was the customs of people of their standing.
