Anyways, that was that. He was only marveled by the man's stats.
He had seen better stats.
On second thoughts, maybe he hadn't, but he had seen people that would surely produce better stats if he appraised them.
Reve stood up and faced the man. If he guessed right, there shouldn't be anything fearful about this situation.
Seeing Reve's face regain calmness, the man named Daniel spoke up, "Kimon, is it?"
"Yes, Daniel."
Reve had not yet introduced himself but Daniel already knew his name.
He processed this bit of information, 'It seems like I was right. He did use [Appraise] on me. However, it appears the rank of the skill could only take him to the surface level, the mask I built to hide my true self.'
Since Daniel was not bothered about revealing his [Appraisal], Reve too followed along. His awareness of the man's name was proof that he, too, had the skill.
"So, Kimon, why are my guards injured? What should I take from what I'm seeing right here?" queried Daniel.
Despite not feeling any threatening aura coming out of Daniel, Reve knew that the man was not calm at all. If anything, his calm pretense was a sign that he was annoyed.
Reve smiled like a true gentleman, "I assure you this is all a misunderstanding. All your guards are still breathing and physically sound. Well, except one that flew into the miasma accidentally."
"Hmmmm…..so what? You injure my men and laugh it off. Give me a reason to not consider you an enemy," threatened Daniel.
"I came to strike a deal with the leader of Black Market, which I suppose is you. Your guards didn't believe me, but, surely, you will be different, wouldn't you?" told Reve.
"Oh, and what deal is this?"
Reve looked at his surroundings first before focusing back on Daniel.
His body creaked like an ancient metal mechanism, "Well, we can't discuss it here, can we?"
Daniel stared deep into Reve's eyes as he maintained his silence. He seemed to be going through a wide variety of thoughts.
"Alright, entertain me….."

Seated in Daniel's informal office, Reve closed his eyes for a second and enjoyed the feeling of his body being supported by something cushy.
This feeling did not last for long as Daniel hurried him, "I don't think I brought you here to relax, did I?"
Now in his comfort zone, Reve smirked, "A good deal needs to be decided over a cool atmosphere. Do you have any cold drinks to serve to your guests?"
Daniel stared briefly before snapping his fingers. His servant rushed into the room.
She bent her head towards Daniel's mouth, listening to his whisperings. Reve could hear what Daniel was saying, but he pretended not to have any idea.
After a while, the servant left.
She came back in less than two minutes with a tray and two bottles of wine. Her experience was showcased as she dropped the tray on the table and served both Daniel and Reve. She left not long after doing that.
Meanwhile, Reve wasted no time before gulping the wine in the cup. Instantly, a refreshing sensation gushed into him and his skin gained a warm hue.
Reve refilled his cup while he talked, "As I said, I come bearing an irresistible offer. It has come to my knowledge that Black Market is a neutral faction that sponsors younger organizations."
"....And you want to take advantage of that?" smirked Daniel.
"In a way, yes. But from a good vantage point, this benefits both parties."
"I have lost counts of how many young factions told me the same thing," snorted Daniel. "So, what makes your faction so special?"
Reve sipped the wine mannerly, "My faction's trait. It is something that would secure this deal, and I'm a hundred percent sure of that. Also, I'm not so needy that I would need your 'sponsorship'. All I ask for is that you showcase my products on your market. That is, I would be selling my products through you!"
"Quite ballsy of you to state the details before presenting your so-called miracle product," said Daniel.
This Kimon was an enigma.
He was one of the few individuals who could remain composed in his presence.
Reve dug into his pocket and inexplicably brought out a small vial. Inside it was a blue gooey substance that appeared to be alive as it moved like ocean waves.
Reve introduced, "Dragontail. A magic drug that enhances one's physical and magical prowess. While it could easily pass as a dark potion. Its uniqueness lies in its effects."
Reve cooly threw the vial towards Daniel, who caught it perfectly, "A magic drug? You don't say. This idea has been tossed around a lot, but no one has really pondered on it. Rana!"
Following his beckoning, the female servant of Daniel entered the office with great strides. She quickly assumed an attentive stance beside Daniel.
"You called for me, sir?" she said.
"Get me a guard," commanded Daniel.
Rana, the female servant, was quick to her feet as she left the room.
Meanwhile, Daniel kept looking at the vial, "This is the moment of truth. I will verify your claims here. Bear in mind that if it doesn't please me, this won't go well for you."
Reve simply sipped on his wine, "Relax. I'm certain this would meet your fancy."
The door pushed open, and a guard rushed in. He walked close to Daniel with raised eyebrows.
"Take your seat," chided Daniel.
He stood up from his spot with the vial in his hand.
The guard did not understand what was happening. So, it wasn't surprising that he thought he was in danger. His body trembled yet he didn't leave his seat.
Daniel placed his hands on the guard's shoulder, "Now. Now, relax. You are in no danger."
He forcefully opened the guard's mouth and poured the contents of the vial into it.
The guard gurgled in reflex, but the liquid substance had already gone into his system.
A red electric streak appeared in his eyes.. It intensified continuously until his contained aura burst out of his body.
