Beyond the betrayal Chapter 88
Beth's POV “This isn’t how it’s supposed to go…”Adonis muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the night sky. While he couldn’t recall every single detail from the past, this particular incident was engraved in his memory.‘The kidnapping of Billy and Alicia… it’s supposed to happen way further in the future!’Sure, a lot of things had been altered now, but he hadn’t expected such a drastic change to the original timeline.‘They’ll nearly be sold at the slave auction a few days after being captured, but thankfully the investigation was done before the auction was completed.’As a result, the Royal Knights swooped in and apprehended a lot of criminals in the Black Market and Slavery World.Unfortunately, this huge victory came with a great loss.‘Alicia’s mental state became unstable and she went insane. Billy was fine, but he was so concerned with Alicia’s health that he didn’t focus on training any longer…’Eventually, Alicia’s mental health deteriorated to the point where she even

Beth's POV As she sat on her chair, piles of Coins were arranged to form towers before her.There were quite a few Bronze Coin Towers, a couple made up of Silver Coins, and finally…… A Golden Coin Tower!Her face beamed with joy like that of a child playing with their favorite toy.Sylvia had dark ebony skin, black hair, and intense black eyes.They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but Sylvia’s dark irises showed nothing, prompting many to call her soulless.She didn’t mind, though. What good was a soul if one couldn’t afford the pleasures of life?That was her philosophy.“Seems like no one is planning an invasion today either. What a bummer…” Sylvia sighed, resting her hand against her cheek as she gazed over her treasures.Her office was within the Warehouse Building, and it was considerably large. Since she was the Manager, it was only a given.Several panels, similar to System Panels, were floating in the air before her, thus occupying her line of sight.“Nothing out o

Beth's POV{Skill Details}[Absolute Appraisal]Tier: SAbility: Allows the user to see the Status Windows of the targets with perfect accuracy. Exception only occurs when faced with Tiers higher than the Tier of this Skill.[End Of Information]Rey's jaw dropped as he stared at the panel in front of him.‘What the heck? So she checked my Status Window and found out my name?’The girl continued to stare at him with her doll-like face, her glowing blue eyes pleading for help.‘She seems to be in an even worse state than Alicia. That means she’s been here for longer.’Instead of relying solely on the limited information he had, Rey decided to use the Skill she had used on him and uncover the truth for himself.‘It’s an S-Tier Skill, so it’s bound to consume some Mana. Still…’Rey was dying of curiosity. He had to know!‘[Absolute Appraisal].’[STATUS WINDOW] - Name: Esme- Race: Half-Elf (Human and Elf)- Class: Commoner (F-Tier)- Level: 1 (91.34% EXP) - Life Force: 2/100 {Critical}

Beth's POV “Sir Seller… are you sure this is the Item you desire? We have better items available, and I’m not sure this suits your… style.”As Aldred said this, Rey inspected the item once more, cradling it in his palm.The enchanted item in question was a ring. It had a pure white surface, with an amber crystal affixed at the top.The amber crystal reminded him of Alicia, leading him to recall a big blunder he had made.‘I completely forgot about her!’They had both exchanged glances and smiles numerous times that morning, so perhaps she had expected them to hang out.‘My mind was so swamped that I didn’t even remember her!’ Rey thought, panicking already.That was when he made a choice that, though illogical, felt deeply fulfilling emotionally."It’s not... for me," Rey replied to Aldred with a dismissive tone.He could already see Noah smirking beneath his hooded disguise, and he felt like punching his teeth out.‘So what if I got it for Alicia? It’s normal for friends to get each

Beth's POV Rey found it weird that Belle had just asked the question so casually, but after considering the fact that she freely told him hers, it had to mean they were close.Since he didn’t know the nature of their relationship, he decided not to bother with it and just listen like the busybody that he was.As he stood there, a sudden voice interrupted.“Hey Rey, do you have a moment?” Rey heard a whisper behind him he kept his attention fixed on Belle and Adonis, dismissing the voice.“You really did well with those—”“Not now! Hold on…” Rey didn’t even bother looking behind him as he kept his gaze on the two.“O-okay…”He felt a little bad for what he did, but this was a crucial moment for him.Once he heard what he wanted, he would apologize and hear the person out.Since he didn’t recognize the voice, it was probably a random student.“… Ah, I’m in Level 9 now.”‘WHAAAAAT?!’ Rey couldn’t believe his ears.“Almost Level 10 too…”‘HOW IS THIS EVEN FAIR?!’ He wanted to scream th

Beth's POV The rest of the floor exploration was a breeze for Rey.He quickly realized that when he put his mind to it, C-Tier Monsters really weren’t a threat to him.He didn’t even let them get a chance to attack before countering and destroying them, whether they were out in the open or hiding.A few managed to unleash attacks like [Ice Breath], but Rey easily countered them with his [Grand Fire Magic] or [Greater Explosion].He also considered it a waste since he already had an [Icy Breath] Skill.Since they functioned similarly and were of the same Tier, there was no real need to keep the Skill he got from the monster.By the time he arrived at what was supposed to be the Boss Room, he was already Level 25.*******“Status Window,” Rey mumbled.[STATUS WINDOW] - Name: Rey Skylar.- Race: Human (Otherworlder)- Class: Elite Enigma (B-Tier)- Level: 25 (99.19% EXP) - Life Force: 22 (+16)- Mana Level: 84 (+16)- Combat Ability: 30 (+16)- Stat Points: 9- Skills (Exclusive): [Do

Beth's POV Rey and Adonis didn’t speak another word to each other until they got to the Living Quarters.As they pushed open the door, they found everyone already gathered in the living room, just as Adonis had said.However, it wasn’t just the students there; Conrad and all four members of the Royal Council were also present, along with Lucielle.‘What’s with their faces? They don’t look so good…’ However, that wasn’t the only thing that caught his attention as he entered.He looked hard at the crowd of students before him, counting only twenty-four instead of twenty-six, excluding himself and Adonis.He didn’t see Billy in the crowd, which surprised him since Billy was always a stickler for the rules.However, much more concerning for Rey was the other person who also seemed to be absent.‘Alicia isn’t here…?!’The fact that he hadn’t seen her in the Library as well meant one thing—something had happened to her.‘What’s going on? Is she alright?’As he looked at the downcast expre

Beth's POV‘Yayyy! I finally reached Level 20!’Rey was so happy to have finally crossed the threshold for Leveling Up.Even though he had nearly enough EXP for his next Level Up, it still took him several attempts to finally cross over.‘I guess DemiWolves really are that weak…’Perhaps it was their weakness, or maybe the fact that they were Summoned Monsters. Either way, Rey felt a sense of accomplishment as he finally achieved his goal. He turned his attention back to the two girls, who were also done dispatching their batch.‘It seems like everyone is finishing up too. I’ve lost track of what round this is; I wasn’t paying that much attention, but…’ It was impressive how all the students had acclimated to this new style of fighting.Most still stuck to the formal style of fighting—especially when it came to Martial Arts—but Rey was pleased to see Trisha and a few others utilize unique styles to fight.The styles they used were borrowed from various Martial Art Techniques and ble

“What do you think about all this, Aldred?”As Rey’s question echoed in the air, Aldred gave a knowing smile—as if he already expected the question.“It’s probably a ruse. The actual Warehouse must be hidden underground.” Rey made a slight grimace underneath his mask.‘Just as I suspected…’Even with this discovery, it didn’t change what they had to do. ‘We still have to invade. The entrance to the underground passage must be here somewhere.’Rey almost felt like he was invading the territory of a mafia group or some sort of cartel. He hadn’t done it before, but it seemed like this was how it would feel.“This establishment is run by Evals Redart, the biggest guy in business in the South.” Aldred went on, his tone still retaining the same hint of amusement from earlier.“I don’t imagine that we’d run into him here, but if we do, then the KariBlanc Group would like to stay out of it.”Rey let out a sigh and shrugged lightly.“I hadn’t planned for both of you to come inside with me a

‘Ah… I see. So that’s how it is…’Rey smiled as he stared at his opponent.Even though his eyes were on the BigFoot-like creature, his senses also observed the ceiling where it fell from.‘There are more of them lurking above.’ Rey couldn’t see them even if he tried. There was a reason he hadn’t detected any until this one landed to confront him.‘A Camouflage Skill, maybe? Interesting…’ These creatures were masters of blending into their environment, making them nearly impossible to detect unless someone paid close attention.‘Even now, I can only detect their movements due to the sound they make and slight distortions they cause in space.’He still couldn’t see them properly.‘I already have [Stealth], which basically allows me to be invisible. But I guess this isn’t too bad either.’ When Rey raised his head and studied the Skill, he figured that the camouflage ability would be more than enough for it to be registered by [Doppel].He sighed softly and turned his attention back to

The deal was sealed after that.Aldred Winsley used an Enchanted Item to calculate the amount of Monster Cores in each sack, and by multiplying them with the agreed price, they arrived at the selling price.It turned out to be a whopping 4,650 Platinum Coins!‘I still can’t believe this…’Rey was trying his best to remain composed after hearing such an insane number, but his heart raced uncontrollably.Adding that to his balance of 1,251 Platinum Coins, he now possessed 5,901 Platinum Coins in total.‘I never thought I’d get this much at once… let alone now!’ Rey felt like he was pulling off a scam, but he didn’t feel guilty. Why would he? This was the Black Market, after all.‘Once the Monster Cores start flooding in, these guys will be in trouble. I should probably avoid this place for a while…’Rey felt a sense of satisfaction knowing he had enough money for the moment. Now, it was time to focus on training; distractions like this were unnecessary.“As always, it’s a pleasure d

“Haha! Is it all done?” A hefty man, his belly protruding, emerged from the 'staff-only' room.He had blood stains on his hand, and each finger had rings on them. His fat-ridden body moved slowly as he cleaned his bloodied hands with a rag and flung it to the side once he was done.“Oh, Leader? Did you kill that woman already?” One of the men who had secured both Alicia and Billy said with a somewhat disappointed face.“What do you think?” The fat man replied, a twisted grin on his faceThough he had cleaned his hands, stains of red still appeared in some areas.“I-I see… I shouldn’t have asked in the first place."In all honesty, this man—as well as the rest of his six comrades—wanted to have his way with her.He had been looking forward to enjoying the waitress for some time now.‘When we killed her Boss and took over this shop, I expected my time to come soon…’He felt frustrated that his Leader had done away with her already.“She intentionally tripped, that woman. I was watching

“Sir! It’s such a pleasant surprise to see you!” Rey was instantly greeted by a very excited Aldred Winsley.The man was grinning sheepishly at him. He seemed almost starstruck, like a fan meeting their favorite celebrity for the first time.‘He’s literally gushing…’ was Rey’s impression as he nodded slightly, entering the room.‘I was just asking your subordinate here when we might see you next.’Rey glanced at Noah and noticed him giving an uncomfortable smile.‘Were they pressuring him to convince me to come? Is that why he took so long?’It was just a guess, so Rey dismissed it.“In any case, it really is good to have you here. We have a lot to discuss.”Taking a seat on the sofa, Rey observed as Noah quickly positioned himself behind him.‘Good. He knows how to keep appearances without me needing to tell him…’ Rey felt relieved.Noah seemed to be able to handle himself in business now, but sometimes he was still an indecisive klutz.Like now, when he allowed his time to be delay

The KariBlanc Group’s Central headquarters was a three-story building.Its Ground Floor was used for commerce. Its First Floor was used for brokerage and special transactions—as well as the storage of regular Items.As for the Second Floor, it was used for three major purposes.First, it housed the cream of the crop in terms of products. Second, it was where those products received their final touches, ensuring excellence.And as for the final reason, it lay behind the door that Aldred was about to open.The manufacturing stations were situated in the bulkier half of the building, which served as an extension to the back.Since the building had a lot of space—especially at the rear, it wasn’t surprising that manufacturing operations occurred there.That place was also off-limits to those without authorization, but compared to those areas, it was the real deal.The Holy of Holies.‘I haven’t taken permission from father to do this, but…’He already knew what his father would say in thi

Rey’s heart was racing as he stared at the coordinates.His fists were tightly clenched, and he felt his eyes growing bloodshot.‘Why would Alicia be in the Black Market?’ Instantly, he knew she couldn’t have been there willingly. She was clearly in some kind of trouble.‘Is it because of Billy? I’m sure it’s him!’Remembering the face of his former best friend was enough to make him grit his teeth.He was extremely annoyed.Despite his annoyance, Rey felt a wave of relief wash over him. ‘At least I found her. Ditching the rest and coming here on my own really was the right move.’Rey managed to slip away from the watchful eyes of the Investigation Squad and come here on his own after they split up to look for clues.Thanks to that, he managed to slip into the Black Market space.‘I simply guessed that I could use their network or information channels to find Alicia.’Rey had figured they would use Tracking Magic on their Items, but he didn’t expect it to be this detailed.He also d

Two students stood in their respective chairs and desks within the expansive Library.One would expect this haven of silence to remain quiet and peaceful, especially since only two people occupied it.However… “N-no! You misunderstood—!”“Since when did you two start… ahh, never mind. You’re both in Beta Class, so I should have known.”“Hey, relax…”“I thought you were a loner and all, but I didn’t know you had such friends. Noah… Trisha.”“No, Alicia, I—!”“So you were such a ladies' man and I had no idea. What a—”“ALICIA!”Rey’s voice was so loud in Alicia’s ears that it startled her, making her jump in surprise.The book Alicia held flew out of her hands, landing right beside Rey’s feet with a soft thud.Rey was right in front of her now, causing her heart to race wildly.She had never heard him shout so loudly before, and his current expression—his creased brow and imposing stance—revealed a side of him she had never seen before.“Alicia…” Rey’s voice grew softer.How he had man
