[End Of Information]
As Rey concluded his use of [Absolute Appraisal], he smiled slightly.
‘Looks like she took care of them very quickly again.’
As Yuri returned into the carriage, Rey found himself observing her. First with [Absolute Appraisal], then a close investigation on her muscular body hidden underneath the baggy clothes.
‘I guess she’s pretty strong by this world’s standards…’ His thoughts trailed while seeing her excited grin.
Since he began his travels with Yuri, there were three things he had learned about her;
One was that she was very loud and playful.
Second was the fact that she could be cruel and sadistic.
And then, the third one was that she was incredibly clumsy.
Right now, she was trying to rub off the blood on her face, but she only made things worse for herself.
It almost felt like he was watching a child.
“Here.” He muttered, bringing out a dark rag from his Ring.
‘I have lots of them in stock in case I need to clean something that gets stained with blood.’
He never expected it to be used for someone else, but more importantly… he never thought they would clean human blood.
‘Well, whatever. I’ve gone past the point of complaint anyway.’ Rey shrugged

She had gotten a lot of stains on her attire, and there was nothing he could do about that, so he simply settled for her face.
He also gave her rags to clean her hands.
Once she was done, Rey instructed her to throw the rags to one of the bushes around, much to Yuri’s surprise.
“Should we really be leaving traces?” She asked with raised brows.’
“The bodies we left behind are enough traces for those who care to find us. Besides, this can help the KariBlanc Group trace our position and detect how far we’ve come already.”
“Ohhhh…!”
Rey didn’t say anything after that, and thankfully… neither did Yuri.
The only time Rey spoke was to alert her of incoming enemies, to which she would dispose of in a jiffy.
They continued this process through the night/early morning, until they finally arrived at their destination.
********
The point of trade was a large clearing within a patch of land purchased by the KariBlanc Group.
It existed in a developing city, so there weren’t too many inspections and regulations going on there.
Besides, since this was the KariBlanc Group’s private property, they had every right and autonomy imaginable when it came to the land.
Of course, getting into the city was the toughest part of the entire journey—second only to leaving the capital—but even that wasn’t much of an issue.
The KariBlanc Group wouldn’t have been able to survive in the Black Market, talkless of beating one of its leaders, if they didn’t have methods of circumventing such problems.
They were able to avoid detection thanks to the combined skills of the caravan members, who shrouded everything in Illusion Magic, while using a massive Enchanted fabric to cover the carriages and horses.
This caused them to be practically invisible as they literally flew into the city—past the tall fence that encircled the entire city.
It required a lot of Mana to achieve all these things, so the effects were only temporary.
Still, they succeeded in their infiltration.
Once they got past the security and got to their patch of land, they were pretty much in the safe zone.
“Good job, everyone!” Yuri grinned at the entire crew as she placed both hands on her hips.
They all smiled at her, charmed by her endearing nature.
These were all members of the criminal underworld, so they weren’t turned off by the slight stains of blood that appeared on the girl’s dress.
In fact, it sort of added to her appeal.
With everyone dismounted, they began to offload the items they were going to be trading.
Standing in a corner, and watching as everyone did their fair share of work, was Ralyks.
He was resting his back on one of the carriages while folding his arms in solitude.
A few men looked at him, glitters literally oozing from their eyes as they did so.
“I can’t believe he could use such a large defensive barrier.”
“I don’t think things would have gone so smoothly if he wasn’t present.”
“He’s really amazing.”
The men who spoke weren’t wrong.
Even Yuri had to admit that if she had been stuck on both offense and defense, things would have proven incredibly tough for her.
The only reason they could obtain such a swift victory—with no damage or casualties involved—was for the simple reason that the enemy hadn’t expected a man of Ralyks’ caliber to show up.
To a large extent, the enemy side had information about the KariBlanc Group.
They were well aware of their military power, their economic and social standing, as well as their specialties.
They even knew their trump cards.
As such, they could prepare the perfect plan to counter the KariBlanc Group’s endeavors.
However… with Ralyks thrown into the mix as an unknown variable, the status quo was bound to change.
He was their dark horse that would lead them to victory.
A true hero!

‘Looks like it’s about to begin.’ Rey smiled to himself as he folded his arm.
He was grinning under his mask as he sensed a presence approaching.
‘Since they were all over our path, it was clear they knew where we were heading…’
Nothing about what was about to happen surprised Rey in the slightest.
Rather, it just made him more excited.
‘This one is stronger than the others. I guess I have something to look forward to.’
