Chapter 223 Securing The Goods
"Oh, wow…"
As Rey watched Phobio scamper off with his miserable naked body, he felt a bit bad for him.
'I thought I was average down there, but it seems there's someone who's worse off than me.'
Rey knew he couldn't judge a man by his 'equipment' since it was something mostly out of one's control.
'Must be his Genetics…'
Rey shrugged off his thoughts of the guy's little worm and decided to focus on the more important things.
"Looks like the damage wasn't too much. I doubt the goods inside would have been affected too much." He smiled.
The reason Rey decided not to use any flashy attacks or destructive moves was because he didn't want too much damage done to the landscape.
'My initial Dragon attacks were done to raise the alarm, so I had to go a bit overboard.'
Not that the act was over, he felt better than ever.
'I hope I was able to nail that arrogant and imposing Dragon aesthetic.'
Seeing how Phobio acted in his presence, he could tell that he must have done something right.
'I doubt the Mercenary Gang members would want to face a Dragon that easily defeated their executives so easily.' Rey smiled.
Even if they did, he doubted they'd be opportuned to take action anytime soon.
'Their first goal will be to squash the KariBlanc Group and the other two.'
That meant their hands were too full to deal with a powerful Dragon.
'If they're stupid enough to think of fighting me, then it also works for my benefit.'
If he eliminated as many of the Heads as possible, the military power of the opposing sides would drastically reduce.
'And then, it'll be our turn to counterattack.'
Either way, Rey could see how he was going to emerge victorious in all these things.
'I've reclaimed ownership of the Warehouse, but I can't just leave it unmanned.'
Phobio had pretty much ensured no one was left.
'Guess I'll have to summon some Monsters to handle the job.'
With everything pretty much taken care of, Rey decided to take a good look around the warehouse and survey everything before leaving.
'I should hurry, though. Everyone is waiting for me.'

[Moments Later]
"Huu…" Rey was in the final storage room, and he still couldn't believe how much stuff had been stockpiled for the trade with the Elves.
'Easily hundreds of thousands of weapons and items.'
They were all high-quality too, as expected of the KariBlanc Group.
"I guess things must be really serious over at the Elf place. Maybe I'll check it out after I'm done resolving the Dungeon Raid and this whole Black Market thing.'
In this world, there were other races that occupied various portions of each continent.
'I really need to check them all out.'
Since he now had Spatial Magic and Flight, things would be much easier than for any other person.
'I wonder if they have something like a Visa or Passport process. Well… not much is known about the other Races, so there's really nothing I can say.'
Rey dismissed his thoughts and took one final look at everything he had just saved for the KariBlanc Group.
'You better keep your word and go mainstream after all this…' Rebal Blanc came to his mind as he narrowed his eyes.
They were definitely going to make tons of profit with so many Enchanted Items.
It was no wonder that paid him so much money for the Monster Cores.
'Welp! No use thinking about that now.' He shrugged as he stretched his hand towards the piles of goods in front of him.
He simply had to do what he did for the others in the rooms he just visited.
"[Grand Inventory]."
The moment he whispered this, a swirling vortex of space suddenly manifested all around the room, distorting everything in sight.
Reality seemed to twist as the environment itself took on a warped form.
In just a few seconds, the world returned to normal and all the goods in the room had completely vanished.
"Great. That's the last of them." Rey chuckled to himself, returning his hand to his pocket.
The Skill he just used was an amalgamation of [Inventory] and [Gateway Portal].
It allowed him to create a gateway to an alternate spatial dimension.
Unlike with [Inventory], though, there didn't seem to be any limit to what he could put inside this new dimension.
At least, not with what he had seen.
Rey also knew everything that happened in his special world, which meant he knew precisely what dwelled inside and where they were.
He could also summon them whenever he wanted.
'By placing them all in Grand Inventory, they'll be safe from any harm.' He smiled to himself.
In an instant, Rey vanished from his position and appeared near the entrance of the Warehouse.
"I'll just summon some Monsters and leave." He murmured.
By controlling them and giving them a directive to protect the place from intruders, he could at least take extra measures to ensure the other side suffered some kind of loss if they returned.
'Imagine them going through all that trouble, only to kill all the monsters, rush inside, and then realize there's nothing waiting for them!'
Rey nearly burst out laughing just thinking about it.
He went on to make all the preparations and summon the Monsters in no time at all.
Once he reached his Summon Limit, he gave them their instructions and walked out the front door.
'Well; now that I have everything I need, I better head back before they start worrying.'
In a single swirl of contorted space, Rey vanished from his position.
Underneath his mask, he had a wide grin on his face, and his lips moved to form a short whisper.
"This is becoming a lot more fun than I expected."
******
"He's finally gone."
"Yes. Seems he is."
Two pointy-eared people with a hood covering their beautiful hair, and a mask covering their faces, looked at each other right after witnessing the Dragon in obsidian black cloak teleport away from his position.
Their brightly colored eyes gleamed with what could be interpreted as delight or anxiety as they nodded at each other.
"We need to tell Lady Aurora. She'll know what to do next!"
