An Extra’s POV

As Rey's crimson eyes glowed ever so bright, preparing for the execution, he looked through Ogun's Status Window once again.

Then, he ceased his initial plan.

'It would be a waste to just kill him. Since he's an executive member, I better collect as much information from him as possible.'

Rey had been having suspicions about the whole thing that had gone down, so in order to satisfy his curiosity, he decided to use the Barbarian before him.

Doing so wouldn't be difficult at all.

'[Absolute Mental Control].'

The moment he sent a pulse of energy to Ogun, the man's will was no longer his own.

He was reduced to nothing but Rey's slave.

"I have a few questions. Answer me as honestly and as accurately as possible. Understood?"

As Rey's voice echoed among the pile of flesh and blood, the barbarian slowly nodded with his blank face as he opened his lips to speak.

"Yes. I understand."

The first question Rey wanted to ask was the most pertinent one at the moment.

"Why did you attack us? Did Scylla hire you? Did the three Obsidian Councilors on her side hire you?"

Ogun shook his head to all of these questions.

"We were not hired by anyone. Our leader decided that we side with Lady Scylla and her New Order."

Rey ensured he used Sound Magic to broadcast everything Ogun was confessing so that the ten witnesses could hear him loud and clear.

"I see. Is it just your leader, or all of you?"

"The words of the Leader are the words of the Gang. The Mercenary Gang follows his wishes."

Rey nodded as he placed his hand on his mask's chin.

'It's as I suspected from the very start. The Mercenary Gang can't be trusted.'

Perhaps it was because he wasn't too involved in matters relating to the Criminal World, so the biases associated with certain principles didn't shackle his thought process the same way they did to people like Rebal Blanc.
