An Extra’s POV

"Are you with the goods?"

The Elf called Aurora finally broke the silence with her question. Her eyes narrowed and her frown deepened.

Rey could see her strengthen her grip on the staff, and nothing about her demeanor spoke of friendliness.

Despite the Elves being courteous, it didn't automatically make them friendly.

'She's has her guard raised, huh? I can even sense ten other Elves that are hiding a far distance off. It's best I don't mention that, though…' His thoughts trailed.

The atmosphere was a little too tense for his liking, but it couldn't be helped.

Rey slightly glanced at Aldred, who slowly nodded at him. He took in a deep breath and calmed himself.

'I can't mess up. Let's get this over with.'

"Yes, I do. And do you have the promised payments?" Rey took a step closer as he brought a small sack from one of his pockets.

Within the pouch were quite a few Spatial Rings, which contained the Enchanted Items that the Elves requested.

'Over ten thousand in total. They really bought in bulk, huh?' Rey smiled to himself as he looked at Aurora.

"Of course we do. What do you take us for?" Aurora responded as she nodded at one of the Elves behind her.

Rey raised his brow underneath his mask and felt a bit slighted.

'What's her deal? Didn't she ask me the same thing?' The way he saw things, the Elf before him had a serious attitude.

Even if she wasn't in a good mood, that didn't mean she could bring it into business.

One of the assisting Elves behind Aurora—Feyi or Feyu, Rey didn't quite remember the name—handed over a sack to Aurora seemingly out of nowhere.
