Chapter 202 Strategy Against The Undertaking
"So... tell me your plan."
In the exclusive lounge that only Ralyks and the appropriate authority from KariBlanc to enter, the man of darkness sat comfortably as he spokeX
He had a teacup in his hand, sipping its contents through the tiny spatial rupture he created on his mask's surface.
It led directly into his mouth, so despite having a Mask, Ralyks had no issues with enjoying the fine beverage that was placed before him.
Before him were Rebal Blanc and a Asher—both taking on the same position they had the last time.
Rebal was seated, and Asher stood beside him, silently watching over the conversation with his hands firmly placed behind him.
Ralyks had just told them to explain their plan, so Rebal was already placing a large parchment on the center table.
It didn't take long before he began to speak.
"Things have escalated since the last time we spoke." The man began by saying.
He went on to explain what he meant by how the Black Market had been influenced greatly, and how the value of certain items had gone up while others plummeted to the ground.
The KariBlanc Group was barely above water at this point.
It was strange to think that such a monolith in the Black Market could experience a crisis as dire as this one.
"They've taken over more territory, and at the rate they're going, it won't be long until they swallow up our region."
The parchment that Rebal showed Ralyks was a map of the entire United Human Alliance—though this was a bit special from the ones that existed in mainstream libraries.
This map showed all the shady spots; including Black Markets, Warehouses, and Hideouts that all tied into the Criminal Underworld.
It was an Item exclusive to the higher-ups of the Criminal Underworld.
This was to ensure there was 'Check and Balance' within the Triumvirate. After all, if everyone had dirt on one another, either side would be too wary to make a move.
So far, it seemed to work out well.
Until now...
"The marked spots are the places they've taken over already, and as you can see, they've encircled the parts where we occupy, advancing as we speak."

"I see. And even though you have the maps that also display their spots, you can't afford to attack them to slow them down or as retaliation?"
As Ralyks asked this—practically rhetorically—Rebal nodded as his face became even graver.
"If we attack them or make any careless moves, they'll have more of an incentive to rush and pull us down."
Rather than their slow and steady assault, they would see any kind of action on the part of the KariBlanc Group and any other kind of resistance as an official declaration of war.
"So that means he can easily take on both the Grand Mage and Head Warrior? Interesting..."
Rebal didn't know what else to say. The words he was uttering would make any man tremble, yet Ralyks only found them amusing.
Grand Mage Lucielle and Head Warrior Brutus were considered invincible by human standards.
If there existed other humans who could defeat them, then those would be considered invincible too—especially if there were nine of them.
'I know he dwells in the realm of the [Absolute], but I'm not sure even Sir Ralyks could come out of a fight with them unscathed.'
There was a reason why the Mercenary Gang was so well renowned despite having hardly any political influence or business power.
They simply did whatever they liked, making violence their sole occupation.
Those were the most dangerous kind of men.
"Don't worry. I understand the situation now. I'll adhere to your discretion." Ralyks shrugged, though his tone still had hints of amusement.
"Thank you, Sir Ralyks."
"What is your plan, then? You've identified the problem, so I believe you've worked around a viable solution."
The moment he was asked this, Rebal nodded and began to explain.
"The plan is quite simple. We are currently outnumbered, but so are others. If we can get the two other members of the Obsidian Council to ally with us, and you assist us with your strength, we should be able to stop the advance."
"Will it be that simple?" Ralyks asked, his tone containing skepticism.
"No. Not really. We will have to reach out to the Mercenary Gang and also buy some of their strength so that we can spread our forces far and wide. If they see us working together, and you display your power by defending us from their current undertaking, we can halt their progress."
"And then... you'll launch your counterattack. Correct?"
As Ralyks said this, Rebal nodded and smiled.
"That's the plan in a nutshell."
