Chapter 206 - Asking For Help

She then looked at Rex and said, "Why…?"

"Why are you spending your money in such a way, mister?"

"Why are you spending on me?"

"I am in no way related to you, so why?", she asked.

Rex looked right into her eyes and smiled after hearing this.

He said, "Simply because I wanted to do that."

The girl was dumbfounded after hearing such a reply. She didn't utter any other word after that.

'Does that mean, he will really buy her back?', she asked.

'Should I really depend on him?'

'But mister is a stranger, so how…?', the girl was confused as the silence prevailed.

Rex didn't say anything as he knew that she was in the phase of deciding something.

He kept quiet until she said what she desired.

"Mister, I want your help.", she said.

"…", Rex smiled as he heard those words.

His aim was to make his citizens live in peace and thus he would help them in every way possible. But now, he was going to help another girl who was never part of his Nation.

He just felt relieved for some reason when she said about depending on Rex.

"Of course, I will. What's wrong?", he asked.

The girl then said, "Not here. I will tell you in a place where no one can hear."

Right after saying that, she pulled Rex's hand and started running towards the palace.

Rex did say earlier that it would be worthwhile to help the girl rather than visit the palace, but it seemed like the girl wanted a quiet place to discuss her problems and a large palace would be a perfect place since there can be many spots found where no one would visit.

They entered the palace and Rex did see some things that caught his eyes, but they weren't that fascinating.

The girl then brought Rex to a place where no one was present. The tourists weren't allowed in those places and there were chains and warnings marked which prevented them from entering.

But the girl pulled Rex to that place and then said, "I think now they won't be able to hear me."

'Who…?'

'Who is she talking about?', Rex wanted to know if someone was following her.

"Mister…", and as she was about to speak, Rex stopped her by placing his index finger on her soft red lips.

"Shoosh…"

"Just a minute.", he said.

He was suspicious of something so he almost immediately erected two barriers.

One barrier was for sensory purposes which kept on getting wider while the second barrier which stayed stationary was to block sound from escaping which would prevent others from eavesdropping or hearing their talks.

'I knew it.'

'Ha…'

'So that's why I couldn't sense earlier.', Rex smirked as he sensed someone entering the first barrier.

'Although I have infinite mana, and unlimited power, I am suppressing them right now so that others don't get hurt.'

'Because of that, I cannot sense anyone who is as strong as a Daryun or of higher levels, at least, not until I have used any magic.' – this was common since his body had yet to get more experience.

'But I wonder why…'

'Why would the King of this Kingdom, stalk a small girl like her?', yes, the one who was following the little girl was none other than King Dan.

This was what Rex thought, but that wasn't true.

King Dan would regularly come to check on the people and his citizens. While doing so, he would visit his old palace and then leave.

A few days ago, when he had visited, he had seen the little girl gets bullied and badly abused by the grown-ups.

He wanted to help her immediately, but he refused to meddle in the matters of their citizens directly because his appearance would let everyone know that the king is watching them. Due to this, many of their usual actions would change and they would start doing those bad things secretly.

Nevertheless, he thought that he would help her the next time he came and yes, today was the day when he arrived to help the girl only to find her being hired by Rex.

'Who would hire such a young girl? Either he is kind, or he is just some bastard who doesn't want to pay even a single penny and rob the girl.' – Dan thought.

Today, when he arrived, he was shocked to see Rex spend tons of money as if it was nothing.

That was why he kept following him. So, in reality, Rex was being followed.

The girl was just being cautious because she didn't want any of the guards or the workers to hear about what she was about to talk about with Rex.

So how did Rex know that it was Dan and not someone else?

Well, it was relatively simple. Since Alex and Dan had fought near this place, even after many years, the sensation of different energy collisions remained.

Since Rex knew how Alex's energy felt, he could easily tell apart the other one, and thus when he sensed Dan, he immediately realized who he was since the energy matched his mana fluctuations which were happening as he had activated a rather interesting magic – Stealth.

"Okay, now tell me, how should I help you?"

"And why did you bring me here? Is someone following you?", Rex asked.

The girl shook her head when he asked the latter.

"No one is following me, but I didn't want them to hear about what I am going to tell you.", she said.

"…"

Right after this, Rex expanded the second barrier too so that the king could hear as well.

He finally understood that the king wasn't exactly stalking so he must have some other reasons. But if he were to try and harm the girl, Rex would take care of him.

"Okay, I am all ears. You can tell me anything you want.", Rex said with a smile.

The girl hesitated a bit and then said, "Please save my sister."

"…"
