An Extra’s POV

'Why is Adonis pretending to be a fan? Was this part of the plan?'

All of this was a surprise to him. He only came to the Guild with Esme since they were told to come for their official recognition ceremony.

It was going to be hosted from the Guild and broadcast to the entire city.

Rey personally felt like all of it was unnecessary, since pretty much everyone already knew who Jet and Lux were, but he also understood how big of a deal it was for two new Heroic Rank Adventurers to pop out of nowhere.

'I even heard some people trying to draw connections between our arrival and the Dungeon's appearance… as if that even makes sense.'

Their actions also made him feel ridiculous for suspecting Adrien being behind the Dungeon's appearance.

Paranoia was indeed a deadly thing.
