The Extra's Return

Originally, I just wanted to use someone randomly, but I didn't expect that I would find a familiar face among the prisoners.

Inside one of the prison cells, there was someone whose face was still fresh in my memory. That person was the boss of the bald thugs who had earlier intercepted me with some other street thugs.

After failing to catch me, it seems like he was locked up here.

Fortunately, he was one of those who didn't fight the children, so he was still alive. If he had joined the fight against the children after he was released, his head would have fallen to the ground as well.

If such a thing were to happen, I would have to choose a random person. So, I would have to show some intimidation to make that person obey me.

But, with the bald thug boss still alive, I could take advantage of him without bothering to show intimidation to make him obey me.

I lowered the cloth covering my face slightly so that he could recognize who I was, but, I quickly covered my face again before the others saw my face.

Since he already knows my abilities and my identity, he won't dare mess around.

"Eeeeck!"

He ended up with round eyes in surprise, which were the same as his round head.

Without waiting for him to regain his senses in surprise, I whispered to him in his ear.

"How are you?"

"A-Aren't you...?!"

"Shhh!"

It seemed like he would say out loud that I was the son of a nobleman, but I immediately put my index finger in front of my mouth, in other words, I signaled him to shut up.

However, just that gesture seemed insufficient to silence him. Since he looked like he was about to say my name out loud, I immediately threatened him by placing my hand on his bald head.

The results are quite satisfactory. His face seemed to turn blue. He nodded vigorously in fright. It was clear that he was traumatized.

Since I'm out of the Warwick manor, I plan to hide my identity. It's not that I don't want people to say that Baron Warwick's son managed to destroy the Black Box Organization's headquarters, but because I don't want the kids to know my identity.

That's why I put a cloth on my face.

'Well, there are other reasons too actually.'

"S-sir! I beg you, please spare my life. I will faithfully serve you. Moreover, I have reported to my boss that it was not you who defeated me, but a mysterious figure wearing a black robe who defeated me."

He was a man, but he pleaded with teary eyes.

It was a good thing that large chains were still shackling his hands and feet, otherwise, I'm sure he would have begged on his knees.

Well, earlier I did tell him not to say anything about me to his boss. That way, someone related to them, aka someone or people in the Warwick noble house wouldn't know that I can use Mana.

What he said was not a lie. I was sure of that. If he was lying, the people at Baron Warwick's house would've been gossiping about how I could manipulate Mana.

If that happened, then I could have failed to make Jullian a Hikikomori. Because the fight between me and Jullian earlier prohibited the use of Mana. If Jullian knew that I was a Mana user, he would definitely propose to fight with maximum power.

"Yes. You don't have to worry. I will spare your life. I will also spare the remaining members of the Black Box Organization here."

After I convinced him, I borrowed the knife that the children were holding. Since all my weapons were destroyed in the battle with the leader of the Black Box Organization, I don't carry any weapons now.

I used a knife I borrowed from the kids to cut the handcuffs that bound the bald thug boss.

Ka-clang!

With one slash, the chains on both his hands and feet were severed. Because the chains that bound him were suddenly severed, he immediately fell to the ground. With his face pressed to the ground, he continued to thank me.

I stood, watching all the prisoners who had just gained their freedom. There were about ten or maybe more of them. Less than the number of children.

When they looked at me, they looked confused because they didn't know me.

However, I didn't plan to say anything to them. I don't care about their confusion. After all, when they come out later and see that I have leveled their headquarters, they will understand immediately.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Solemn, sir!"

As I thought, it was an unfamiliar name to my ears.

Now, if I recall my memory, there wasn't a bald person like him who was a member of the Black Box Organization in the Ryam City Branch. I mean, at a time in my previous life.

In fact, I'm quite familiar with almost all the names of the members of the Black Box Organization in this branch of the city of Ryam. In other words, I know the names of every person I just killed.

However, the important thing was, it seemed that he was indeed a new member. It was strange to see a bastard like this bald thug boss telling the truth. I just didn't expect it.

"Since when did you join this organization?"

"Mmm, actually, I just joined not too long ago, sir. And the task of intercepting you a few days ago was also my first. Therefore, I only brought people I know to attack you, not members of the Black Box Organization."

'That makes sense.' I thought. "All right. Anas and Solemn, you two follow me. As for the others, you guys wait for me upstairs."

I left behind the children and the other prisoners.

Behind me, there is Anas along with the Bald named Solemn.

I lead the two people behind me into an empty room. Then, I pressed against the wall of the room. Suddenly a hole leading downwards opened. Down the stairs that continued with the torchlight on the wall, the two people behind me continued to stare with surprised faces.

"I-I didn't expect that in the dungeon, there's a ladder that leads deep into the ground like this."

Seeing the shocked faces of Solemn and Anas, I guess they both don't know where we are going. Well, that's only natural. After all, only someone with the rank of branch leader could know where I was going.

The reason why I was able to find out was that I had obtained this information from Gilbert who had become my puppet. Even though it had become like a doll, somehow, when I asked him, he was still able to answer.

'But somehow, he can't answer a question that points to the person who gave him the pill he ate.'

Even so, I can still ask important questions about a few things. Especially about the system in the Black Box Organization and other things regarding criminal organizations.

In his opinion, the Ryam City Branch was the branch of the organization that was looked down upon the most.

It might have been a little strange when I heard it from Gilbert's own mouth that had become like a puppet, but, he said, he was someone from the headquarters of the Black Box Organization in the capital city, but he was exiled to the Ryam City Branch.

For that reason, it wouldn't be strange if Gilbert's strength was weak. Maybe that was the reason why he was exiled.

Actually, a criminal organization like the Black Box is only underestimated by various Kingdoms, including the Misonia Kingdom itself.

While the reason why there are still many criminal organizations out there is that they can still be used by the leaders of a region.

If there was a criminal organization that defied the nobles' orders, on average that organization would be instantly destroyed by the soldiers belonging to the nobles.

But because of this kind of criminal organization anyway, I have thoughts of using them.

Without realizing it, we arrived at the end of the stairs. In front of us, there is a door. What's clear is that, when I opened the door, there was a room inside. Before I go inside, I tell the two people behind me.

"This is a room that only you guys are allowed to know about. In other words, I'm telling you to keep this place a secret from the others."

Anas looked confused, while Solemn just nodded like a machine.

After that, I opened the door. As soon as the door opened and what was inside the secret room was seen, Anas and Solemn surprised faces could make a cat laugh.

The reason was not because of the collection of chests that lined the length of the room, but what was inside the chest. Inside some of the opened chests, copper, bronze, and silver coins could be seen shining until they pierced Solemn and Anas' eyes.

As seen, this is the place where the money collected by the Black Box Organization Members of the Ryam City Branch is located. I'm sure all this wealth has been accumulated over the years.

Considering that the Black Box organization was the largest criminal organization, that kind of treasure was a reasonable amount even if it came from a remote branch.

According to what Gilbert had told him, the Ryam City branch was remote but rich, so earning money was easy. But there wasn't much they could do with the money.

"Use this money to rebuild your headquarters."

I told Solemn to get some money.

"You don't need to be confused. From now on, I will appoint the two of you as leaders of the Ryam City branch of the Black Box Organization."

Then, I told them what I had planned.
