An Extra’s POV

"So… tell me your plan."

In the exclusive lounge that only Ralyks and the appropriate authority from KariBlanc to enter, the man of darkness sat comfortably as he spokeX

He had a teacup in his hand, sipping its contents through the tiny spatial rupture he created on his mask's surface.

It led directly into his mouth, so despite having a Mask, Ralyks had no issues with enjoying the fine beverage that was placed before him.

Before him were Rebal Blanc and a Asher—both taking on the same position they had the last time.

Rebal was seated, and Asher stood beside him, silently watching over the conversation with his hands firmly placed behind him.

Ralyks had just told them to explain their plan, so Rebal was already placing a large parchment on the center table.

It didn't take long before he began to speak.

"Things have escalated since the last time we spoke." The man began by saying.

He went on to explain what he meant by how the Black Market had been influenced greatly, and how the value of certain items had gone up while others plummeted to the ground.

The KariBlanc Group was barely above water at this point.

It was strange to think that such a monolith in the Black Market could experience a crisis as dire as this one.

"They've taken over more territory, and at the rate they're going, it won't be long until they swallow up our region."

The parchment that Rebal showed Ralyks was a map of the entire United Human Alliance—though this was a bit special from the ones that existed in mainstream libraries.

This map showed all the shady spots; including Black Markets, Warehouses, and Hideouts that all tied into the Criminal Underworld.

It was an Item exclusive to the higher-ups of the Criminal Underworld.

This was to ensure there was 'Check and Balance' within the Triumvirate. After all, if everyone had dirt on one another, either side would be too wary to make a move.

So far, it seemed to work out well.
