An Extra’s POV

Chapter 254

'I hope Alicia didn't take it the wrong way.'

As Rey teleported to the official KariBlanc Premises on the surface, he had that thought swirling in his mind.

'I just can't afford for her to find out…'

Rey pondered on why he just couldn't tell her about his identity as Ralyks, but he reckoned it was the same reason why she didn't tell him about the entire thing with Billy.

'It'll lead to a whole spectrum of conversations.'

Rey would have to reveal some of his involvements, by consequence, and she might not approve.

The truth was… he was telling too many lies.

'It's a risk. I just… don't want her to see me any other way…'

Rey entered the reception area of the building and was greeted by a pretty woman who recognized him well.

He was donning his Ralyks costume, after all.

"Sir Aldred and Lord Blanc aren't present at the moment." The lady said with an official smile.

Whether it was on the surface or in the Black Market, Ralyks would always be treated with utmost respect.

As a result, even the lady before him was trembling as she spoke.

"Where are they?" Rey's deep voice went forth as he tried not to look at the lady too much so as not to make her too uncomfortable.

"They're in the Black Market sorting through a few things. They told me to make you very comfortable and entreated that you wait for them… if that pleases you, of course."

Rey slowly nodded as he crossed his arms and sighed.

'Seems there's a lot to be done. I guess that's understandable…'

He found it to be a waste of time to simply wait around for them to arrive. Hence, he found another way to while away time.

"Where is the residence of my… partner here?" Rey found it difficult to utter the words, but he did so anyway.

"Partner, Sir Ralyks?"

"Yes. The very beautiful lady that is affiliated with me."

Rey couldn't call her "Esme" or "Half-Elf" since no one here properly knew of her identity.
