Beyond the betrayal Chapter 95
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

The next day came in no time, and the students who had been preparing their minds to go on the Dungeon Expedition were greeted with the most shocking news. “The Dungeon Expedition has been put on an indefinite hiatus.” As Grandmaster Conrad said this, surprise swept across the faces of all the students. As usual, he was accompanied by both Brutus and Lucielle, and his attire was regal. However, the forlorn expression he had was new. Never before had anyone seen Grandmaster Conrad so serious or anxious. The same grave disappointment echoed on Lucielle and Brutus' faces. In contrast, however, the twenty-eight students reacted differently to the announcement. Some were relieved that the Expedition was canceled—either due to the fear of going there, or the prospect of spending the day exploring the town. Other students, mostly boys with a few girls like Trisha among them, appeared disappointed upon hearing the news. They had likely been looking forward to fighting real Monster

It all happened the previous day.The moment Rey left the KariBlanc Group’s building with Noah, he got a congratulatory message from the System.[Congratulations! You Have Advanced To A New Class]‘E-eh?!’ Rey was initially startled by the whole thing, but since he was wearing a mask, no one could see the stupefied expression he made.He was really thankful for that.‘But what does this mean?’Only the user of a System could see or interact with their System Messages. As such, despite being out in the open, only Rey could see the notification before him.[Congratulations! Your Class ‘Enigma’ has been advanced to ‘Elite Enigma’ due to the wealth and strength you possess]‘A Class called Enigma?’ It was the first that Rey had heard of it, but since he was in the middle of the street—right within the Black Market—Rey decided to set the matter aside for the time being.‘I’ll check it out once I return to my room…’And so he did.After returning to his room, Rey opened his Status Window.

The students—or rather, Otherworlders—understood what was expected of them.As they all stood in the gladiator ring, different thoughts were going on in their respective minds.What kinds of monsters would they fight? Would they be tough opponents? Would it be dangerous?Naturally, some were scared. However, most were thrilled by the upcoming challenge.They were confident that none of their instructors would let anything bad happen to them.Their lives weren’t at risk at all.Among the eager participants was Rey, buzzing with excitement for two main reasons.One, he wanted to see how his Class would give him extra Stats after Leveling Up.‘I’m very close, so I should be able to hit Level 20 today…’Then, there was the second reason.‘I want to see how everyone does in this practical exercise…’They had never fought monsters during training, so this would be a new experience for most of the people gathered in the massive field.‘How will they handle it? What strategies will they use?

After Adonis’ display, no one showed fear anymore.They couldn’t, even if they wanted to. The immense power that the Hero displayed was enough to inspire many.It spurred even the most timid among them to step forward, eager to join the battle and slash through the monsters.“We’re not gonna let you have all that EXP, Adonis!”“Haha! Here I come as well!”“Save some of that EXP for us! Only God knows what Level you’re on now!”“Hehehe! I can’t wait!”As these words flew from his classmates' mouths, Rey couldn’t help but smile. He observed Adonis stepping back from the newly summoned monsters.‘He’s going to give everyone a chance to Level Up now. How thoughtful of him…’Adonis had taken charge in the first round, claiming all the kills, but his motive was pure: he wanted to help inspire the class.He must have thought that by doing something so radical, he would spur the rest to let go of the strings of hesitation that held them back.Everyone would be willing to fight!‘And it worked

After the training session wrapped up, the students scattered in different directions. Rey found himself strolling alongside Alicia, while Trisha had wandered off to chat with her friends.‘Thank goodness,’ he almost sighed in relief.As they made their way back to their Living Quarters, a familiar voice called out to both of them. "Rey, Alicia! Great job today!"Rey recognized the voice but turned back to see the person behind it. It was none other than Adonis. Beside him stood Belle, waving gently with her signature cute smile.“I’m proud of you guys.” He seemed to genuinely mean what he said, but Rey couldn’t help but feel anger rising in his chest.‘You leveled up nine times in just an hour, you bastard! Don’t give me that!’Despite feeling the urge to punch Adonis, Rey managed to control himself. ‘What kind of past life did this guy have to be so—’ he started to wonder, but Adonis interrupted his thoughts.‘I'm heading to training now, so I thought Belle could accompany you g

Belle was a sociopath.Ever since she was young, she had known what was right and wrong, but it never really mattered to her.What she cared about most was what suited her best. Despite this, she wore a mask that showed others the perfect person they wanted to see.She made tons of friends, and she had very few enemies. The few that she had—those who were able to see beyond her facade—were dealt with promptly.Of course, she had never killed anyone, but there was more than one way to ruin a person.Belle’s experience in High School was pretty much the same.However, despite her prim and proper behavior and her obvious appeal, she couldn’t get past two social walls that stood far taller than her.Alicia and Adonis.These two were the most popular in their class, as well as part of the most popular students in school.It annoyed her.It irked Belle to her core that she couldn’t triumph over them.She could not beat Alicia in looks, and Adonis had a more authentic personality than she

Rey was still reeling from shock after the intense events he had just experienced.He touched his face and remembered how the crazy girl known as Belle kept poking him and laughing about it.“She’s completely crazy…” Rey murmured, his eyes wide with surprise.‘If I wasn’t careful, I would have completely fallen under her spell. That’s too dangerous!’Back then, when she was moving closer to him, his [Danger Sense] Skill kept sending warning alarms to him.Rey was so glad he listened.In a quick move, he used [Blindness] to shut off his eyes and [Grand Sound Magic] to ensure his ears wouldn’t hear a single thing that Belle said.Since he knew the conditions for activating [Grand Charm], a Skill he already had, it wasn’t too difficult to avoid it.It wasn’t until his [Danger Sense] died down that he deactivated his [Blindness] and allowed her words to be audible again.Thinking quickly, he used the [Mimic] Skill to replicate Alicia’s glowing eyes and his Class privilege let him fake the

“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

“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 eventually commi

“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
