An Extra’s POV

[Later That Night]

"So, how did the meeting go?"

Felicia and her friends—Byron, Lyvia, Devin, and Cayden—sat and discussed in her room, as they often did at this point. As the leader of the deserted Otherworlders, she had pretty much made her place of rest their hideout of sorts, albeit a temporary one.

Their stay in the Royal Estate was limited, so they wouldn't be here for long.

Still, at least for the moment, they were privy to the facilities of the Estate—as esteemed personnel of the highly regarded Nobles. Their rooms weren't as fancy as that of the Otherworlders, but it was certainly much better than their abode in the houses of the Nobles they worked for.

It just went to show the disparity in wealth and power that the Royal Council had—or perhaps how well the latter was willing to treat their guests.

Regardless, that wasn't the topic for discussion. It was something else.

"You mean the meeting with our new backer? Yes, it's going well. The Reaper Group has decided to fund our new venture."

As soon as she said this, the teenagers practically fist bumped and leapt for joy. As everyone in the Alliance knew at this point, The Reaper Group was the hot new stuff around. They held so much financial influence, but were also politically relevant.

Not only did they personally supply the Royal Council with Items—thus contributing to the war against the Dragons—but they had managed to make connections with practically every Noble that the group knew.

They had their reach in every facet of the Nation at some point, which made Felicia suspicious.
