An Extra’s POV

The business discourse lasted quite a while.

Rey didn't particularly mind, since he enjoyed the change of pace. Besides, the Reaper Group was technically his own.

So… this was all his business.

'The war won't last forever. At some point, I'll get strong enough and we'll beat the Dragons. I need to consider what happens after that.'

Gathering enough money to last him a lifetime, while also running a business that would be considered a multibillion dollar company on Earth; wasn't that the dream?

'I refuse to be a broke hero!' Was one of his mottos, which was what drove him to her so invested in business even though he still had a lot of things on his mind.

'It seems Rebal is managing the situation well. Strategic planning is his forte, after all. Asher deals with the internal running of the business, while Kara handles marketing, finances, and also aids greatly in terms of production.'

However, there was only so far they could go without Rey's assistance.

'Looks like I'll have to add this to the list of things I'll have to do.' He thought to himself as they concluded the discourse.

"So what will you do now?" Rey stared at Rebal after he was done analyzing everything he just heard.

"We need to speak to more investors and potential clients."

"Ah, I see. You're not done networking."

"Not even close. We only approached you because it would be wrong of us not to. Plus…" The older man gave a smirk, his eyes twinkling slightly.

"… Something told me you wanted to get out of that situation."

Rey chuckled as soon as he heard that. "Well, that something was correct."

They went ahead to shake hands, and after offering a few more pleasantries, Rebal and company returned upstairs while he remained in the garden.

"Huu…" Heaving out visible breaths, he enjoyed the solemn melancholy that surrounded him.
