An Extra’s POV

"When do you think the buyer is going to show?"

Yuri was standing in front of Rey as she asked her question.

The team had offloaded all the goods they were going to sell. They were all inside crates, and from the looks of it, there appeared to be a few dozen of them.

Rey didn't know what was inside the crates, though he was sure they would tell him if he asked.

'It's just better I mind my business.' He thought, now staring straight into Yuri's gleaming eyes.

He didn't know how to respond to her question. Was he supposed to say something like;

"Sorry, but your buyer might not show up at all."

That would be too tiresome to explain.

He cast his gaze on the many boxes and felt a bit bad for the KariBlanc Group.

'It looks like these goods will be worth a lot of money. They must have been counting on this sale being successful in order to gain some liquid funds.'

It was a shame things turned out this way.

'They're closing in on us now. I'm sure Yuri will be able to sense something pretty soon.' Rey's thoughts trailed as he continued resting his back on the carriage.

Just like clockwork, Yuri's bright smile slowly began to vanish as she took a few steps back and closed her eyes.

"Something's wrong…" She whispered.

For Rey, he had already known about this for some minutes.

He already realized there were people watching them since they entered the city. The watchers were well-hidden, but his [Greater Sensory Perception] made their efforts useless to him.

"Sir Ralyks, I think we need to gather around and defend the merchandise. Something feels off about this…"

Rey nodded, somewhat happy that the girl before him had taken the initiative for once.

He removed his back from the carriage and took a few steps forward.

"Agreed. Let's gather everyone."
