An Extra’s POV

'Looks like we're ready to begin.'

Rey took a deep breath as he looked at everyone within the tense room. His eyes darted towards Kara, who gave him an inconspicuous nod.

'Seems like she has primed them before my arrival. That's good…'

"So, have you concluded your strategy against the Triumvirate?" Rey asked the Royal Council, donning his usual Ralyks tone.

"Indeed we have." Conrad smiled and nodded.

"I see. And you're sure you want to discuss the details before her? She belongs to the very underworld you desire to tear down, don't you?"

As Rey asked this question, he clasped his hands and rested them on the table.

"What is your rationale?"

This time, it was Vida who spoke up.

"The Verte family has always mentioned some kind of balance despite being a criminal family. They often cooperated with our efforts."

"That can't be all, surely." Rey said, narrowing his eyes in Vida.

She expressed intimidation, something he personally enjoyed, but she quickly pulled herself together.

"O-of course not. The truth is that her entire family was killed off by the new head of the Slave Union and her New Order. She's no longer affiliated with them, and they're as much of an enemy to her as they are to us."

Surely, Vida's explanation made sense.
