An Extra’s POV

Claudius and the two ladies behind him met with their armed forces, an estimate of one thousand men.

A few more members were also in their midst, led by Jawl—Scylla's personal dog.

'Looks like our performance will be watched by Lady Scylla's Covert Squad.' Claudius mused as he got closer to the group.

'At the very least they're being open about it and not hiding in the shadows.'

He assumed that some were also with Phobio and Fernand, so Claudius chose not to make a big fuss about things and just go with the flow.

"The plan is simple, really. Security is very loose tonight in the Capital. As a result, we can go wild without anyone stopping us."

Personally, Claudius would have preferred a more elaborate plan, but the members of the Mercenary Gang were a rough and simple bunch.

They actually preferred arrangements like this.

"Our primary target is the Blanc Mansion, so please ensure that in your acts of violence, you remain on the path to get to the Mansion."

It was possible to get lost in the thrill of slaughter—not that Claudius could relate—but they couldn't forget their primary assignment.

"Once we're done with the Blanc Mansion, we'll be taking viable individuals as Merchandise for Lady Scylla." Claudius added with a sigh.

"Leave the selection of the appropriate goods to me and my men. Don't kill the ones we tell you not to kill, and help us in restraining the ones we tell you to."

Jawl's voice carried a lot more weight than Claudius', but the Gang members still looked at the latter for confirmation.

After all, they didn't answer to Scylla. They answered to their leaders—who in turn answered to the Chief at the very top.

"Haa… do as he says." Claudius shrugged.

'So that's why they're here. It's not just to observe, but to select the people to capture for Scylla.'

It was no secret what these people were going to be used for.
