An Extra’s POV

"I see. So you attended as the Reaper Group?"

Rey and his three business partners—or rather, underlings—were speaking outside the hall—in the garden downstairs.

They had exchanged a few words on their way there, so some of his questions were answered very quickly.

'Ater did tell me about how he took temporary charge of the Reaper Group and used their resources to help rebuild the Capital.' Rey thought to himself as he analyzed their presence and its significance in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks to the Reaper Group's aid, the Royal Council officially recognized them as their supplier for Enchanted Items.

Rebal was to be granted a Noble Title once the Capital was fully constructed, and the Reaper Group's name was going to become inconceivably big in no time at all.

"Indeed. We've also had talks with some Nobles around, and it looks like we're going to be expanding very soon."

The areas in the South were a profitable area for business, but Enchanted Items weren't particularly needed there since the people there were relatively safer than other regions.

But… all of those things were slowly changing.

"With our Group being officially recognized by the Royal Council, the Nobles will not want to be left behind, so they'll do their best to arm themselves with the best we can offer. Since our products are the trend at the moment, they'll patronize us for the heck of it."

Rebal was right! The behavior of the rich wasn't particularly complex when it came to purchasing luxury items.

'But, that isn't all…' Rey narrowed his eye as he analyzed all Rebal was saying.

'Since they've been gathering Otherworlders, it's possible that they also have plans for the Enchanted Items that they want to purchase from the Reaper Group.'

Perhaps the Nobles were planning some sort of scheme to overthrow the Royal Council or something of the sort.

'No. That's not possible thanks to the curse.'

The Council could not betray the Nobles, but the latter also couldn't betray the former.

'I might be overthinking this. Let's focus on other things first…'

"I still can't believe Sir Ralyks was actually an Otherworlder who was summoned to save this world." Asher, still disguised as his Aldred alias, beamed as he spoke to Rey.

"It truly is a pleasure."

"Haha! It's all good." Rey then turned to Kara, who had been silent throughout the exchange.
