An Extra’s POV

"Oho? So that's what is going on now…"

Ralyks sat on a couch, and opposite him were three seated individuals.

Rebal, Asher, and the girl he saved earlier that morning… Kara Verte.

They had dealt with all the pleasantries pretty early thanks to Ralyks' insistence. Important affairs came before any other thing, so he was more interested in progress.

'How noble…' Kara thought as she looked at her savior with starstruck eyes.

Ever since she was saved by the man of darkness, she couldn't stop thinking about him.

She wanted to meet him the moment she regained consciousness, and now to at he was right in front of her, she couldn't let out as much as a squeak before him.

Right when they met, she was able to thank him for saving her life, but he casually addressed it.

He also apologized for not coming earlier, but she couldn't understand why he was being so dismissive of his actions.

It was all thanks to him that she was able to safely keep all the relevant documents of the Verte House that related to their properties and assets.

Kara's family was very thorough with their paperwork, so the mere fact that their legacy didn't fall into the wrong hands was more than enough for her to lick the sole of his feet.

'Lick… his feet? What am I even thinking!' Kara chastised herself and shook her head.

Right now, she had to behave accordingly. Her parents were dead, and she was the only survivor of their main estate.

'I have to find a way to ally with him personally. To protect my family's assets and our future!'

These were her thoughts as she looked at the brooding Ralyks.

"So, to summarize, you plan on securing the properties of the Verte House and fortifying the positions that have become lax as a result of the loss of manpower on the end of our enemies?"

"Yes. Precisely." Rebal responded to Ralyks, his determined gaze now containing a fire that wasn't present before.

It seemed the recent incident had finally changed his disposition.

"We can't afford to be passive any longer, especially with this window of opportunity you've made for us."

There was already no way the other side would keep quiet once they found out two out of their Executives were killed, and their plans didn't go accordingly.
