Volume 5 Chapter 13 ACT.144 Internal Affairs (III)
The moment he visually confirmed the existence of the pill, he swiftly tucked it away in his pocket, trying not to let anyone around him notice.
"What's this?"
After scanning his surroundings, Alfonso asked Rize in return.
"Lately, I've been told to take it with my meals. I've just been pretending to take the ones given to me."
"Good job."
Patting Rize on the back, Alfonso praised her with kind words.
He himself hadn't expected such cunning from Rize.
After all, she gave off a bit of a reckless, honest, and somewhat stubborn impression.
"I haven't heard anything about the pill on this end. I don't know where this leads, but let's investigate."
Checking the feel of the pill in his pocket through his clothes, Alfonso silently vowed not to waste the information Rize had given him.

With a hard, clacking sound, Belta walked down the unpopular corridor of the coliseum.
The absence of people was due not only to today being a day off but also because this was a restricted area for general admission, an operational department.
Masking his face with a black beast mask, looking like an anonymous supporter, he was heading towards the meeting room at the very end of the corridor.
It was the appointed meeting place with a powerful figure.
Belta pushed open the large, ornately decorated door with both hands.
Inside the meeting room stood a massive round table that could seat 12, momentarily reminding Belta of the Purge Knight's black round table at the Holy Church headquarters.
And the person in question was already waiting there for Belta's arrival.
In a corner of the round table, a young man was leaning against the edge of the ceiling, arms crossed.
He had *dazzling golden hair standing up like a lion's mane, and a robust body* that didn't look like a desk worker's.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Belta bowed his head respectfully to the young man.
The young man unfolded his arms in response and also bowed his head.
"No, it's fine. I was waiting here first."
The young man, looking brave but surprisingly humble, was named Reggie Grave.
He was the chairperson of the arena and one of the 3 powerful leaders.
