Chapter 459 Mother’s Intuition

The morning that day,

Just like expected a few agents from the FAA come knocking to Rex's mansion asking about the thing that happened in sector 3B, the dead FAA Awakened is the main topic.

Everything in sector 3B is destroyed because of Zaddrass,

But with the masked figures as the black goat, Rex can get out of their suspicion easily.

Although Rex doesn't want the FAA and even the UWO to pursue after Billy who is clearly the main culprit since he's the one that took Ryze, he has to if not then he will be in the spotlight.

That spotlight can quickly turn for the worst if he takes one wrong step.

'I'm sorry Billy, but you did it anyway knowing full well that Ryze is with me. You didn't even justify anything to me', Rex thought with a sight.

Rex explained everything that happened that night excluding Ryze's part.

With the information, he gave matched Luisella's, the agents from the FAA left the mansion but just as Rex wanted to close the door, "Oh! Sir Rex"

"Yeah?", Rex stopped mid-track hearing one of the agents called him.

The agent then takes a paper from his coat before he showed it to Rex, "From what you remember, does this masked person that manage to escape resembles this person?"

Rex took the paper and read it and realized that it was Billy's military biography.

"Since you're this person's friend during your time serving in the military, we thought that you might find some similarities from the masked person with Billy over here", the agent added.

Hearing this, Rex's eyes are glued to the paper with a frown.

After snapping out of his thought, Rex then glanced back at the agent before he smiled, "He's wearing a skull mask, so I don't know. But probably not", he replied giving back the paper.

"If it's not classified, how can the FAA comes to this conclusion?", Rex asks curiously.

The agent puts back the paper inside his coat before he replied, "Of course, I'll tell you. You and Billy know each other after all so it's natural that you're curious"

"The military has been under investigation for a couple of weeks now, some reported that they're doing unapproved experiments on the new recruits. We narrowed down the division under the suspected officer and find a couple of missing military personnel, Billy here is one of the suspected lab rats. We're trying to find evidence to press charge to the military but personally, I doubt the military did this"

"We're just doing this to appease the reports asking us to investigate, the military loses many members daily so why would they do experiments. That's for the UWO to do if necessary"

Rex listen to this attentively before he nodded his head,

'You forget that the military is once a powerful organization but now they become cannon fodder compared to the UWO and SCO, I bet they're trying to make their own super soldiers", Rex thought with a sigh.

Even though this is new news, he's not surprised at all.

The state of humanity since the Supernatural Emergence has dwindled down, and morality that is spread and known by everyone prior to the Supernatural Emergence has been lost.

It won't be surprising that many of these organizations are doing darker stuff.

After seeing the agents off, Rex was about to get back inside to prepare for his departure to the Vampire Territory but suddenly he saw a car entering through the gate of the mansion.

'Who is it now?', Rex thought while looking at the approaching car.

Unlike the cars parked around here that are considered a luxury, especially Edward's car, the car that is just entered the gate after getting checked by the guarding Awakened is a normal black sedan that Rex has never seen before.

But while looking at the car, Rex scans the two people inside the car before his heart dropped.

'Oh no... Why are they here at the worst possible time', Rex thought as he gulps harshly, his elegance and confident demeanor vanishes almost instantly upon realizing the people inside the car that just stopped in front of him.

Even the Awakened guarding the entrance into the mansion saw this change of demeanor.

For them, Rex is always confident and gives off an aura that of a cold leader, but upon seeing the black sedan all of his imposing aura vanishes.

This even makes the Awakened curious about who the people inside the car is,

Rex is rooted at his spot while waiting for the two people inside the car to come out, and when the door of the car opened following the two people coming out, Rex's heart is drumming like a war drum and he even started to sweat.

Looking at the two people, Rex was brought back to where it all began.

All of this started ever since the incident in the Nokas Mall right after he got discharged from the hospital, the two people that somehow make his heartthrob in pain.

They're Rosie's parents, Muji and Cinta...

"Sir Rex...", Muji stepped up politely followed by Cinta on his side.

Seeing the Awakened here that is all way stronger than himself makes Muji feels inferior, he smiles his brightest smile before he added, "Sorry for the sudden visit, are you busy right now?"

Rex is staring at them blankly as he's still stunned,

Cinta and Muji look at each other with a wry smile seeing that Rex didn't answer them, but Rex eventually snapped out of his daze, "I-It's fine..."

"Please come inside, both of you", he added before stepping to the side.

Hearing this, Muji and Cinta walk inside the mansion and gasp seeing that everything inside of the mansion is sparkling and screaming expensive.

Both of them didn't even move from their spot before Rex walk past them.

Rex walks slowly toward the sofa before turning to look at them nervously, but they misunderstand Rex's nervous look to questioning look, they then hurriedly went to the sofa opposite Rex and stand there.

Just after Rex sat down do they also sat down,

Although Rex is currently looking at the both of them with a calm gaze, inside he's really nervous fearing that they might as Rosie to him.

'But Rosie should've told them that I'm not her boyfriend anymore right?', Rex thought.

Bead of cold sweat started to flow down the side of his face while waiting for them to say something, he himself can't mutter anything from the nervousness and guilt.

Muji who also feels uncomfortable from the silence wanted to say something but got interrupted.

"Master...", Gistella's voice suddenly seeped into Rex's ears.

Hearing this, Rex turned his head to the side and saw Gistella walking slowly towards him from the hallway that leads to her and Kyran's room, "What is it Gistella?"

"Did I interrupt something?", Gistella asks again with her soothing voice.

She saw that Rex is sitting in the guest room with two other people on the opposite sides.

Rex glanced at Muji and Cinta who are currently looking at Gistella with wide eyes, they both almost popped their eyes out seeing such a beautiful woman calling Rex master.

Her silvery hair and her delicate silky face are unmatched,

After coming to see Rex today and someone would ask who is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen, the both of them will definitely point at Gistella.

Realizing that Gistella is looking at him, Muji then hurriedly replied, "Not at all! Please, we can wait"

Gistella nodded her head before she looks back at Rex, "Should I tell the Disaster Squad to prepare for the departure too?"

"No, we'll leave them here with Edward", Rex replied shortly.

Hearing this, Gistella nodded her head gracefully before she turns around and leave.

Rex then glance back at the two who are still looking at the fading Gistella before he finally said, "So, What is the purpose of your visit sir Muji?"

Muji was caught off guard when Rex called his name,

"I don't have your contacts so I'm sorry if our visit disturbs you, but I'm here regarding Rosie. She has been uncontactable for about two weeks now, I'm wondering if you know where she went because this is so unlike her", Muji explains while scratching his head.

But this made Rex's heart freeze as he didn't know what to say.

Once again, they misunderstood Rex's stiff expression as Cinta added, "We know that you're not Rosie's boyfriend again, but I'm wondering if she has ever contacted you"

"Even when we visited Faraday University, they told us that Rosie has been absent"

"Rosie always messages us once in a while but she has never been gone this long, we're worried about her since we can't find her anyway. I just got a feeling that something bad happened to her, so that's why we're hoping that you have a clue of where she is"

Rex listens to what Cinta has to say with no expression,

But when he heard that Cinta has a feeling that something bad happened to her, Rex instantly stands up from the sofa and said, "I'm sorry, but I have something to do"

"I will try to help you, if I find anything then I will tell you immediately", Rex added.

Hearing this, Cinta and Muji look at each other in confusion, Rex's sudden change makes them confused since he just told them a minute ago that it's fine to visit him now.

Nevertheless, they got up seeing that Rex has an urgent expression on his face.

'I'm sorry but I can't tell you about it now, but I'll make sure to bring Rosie back', Rex thought while he leads Muji and Cinta outside.

After they got outside, Rex then said to the Awakened guard, "Please escort them away"

"Yes, Sir!", the Awakened replied.

The Awakened guard then looks at Muji and Cinta before signaling with his hand, "Dear guests, please follow me", he said lightly.

Without even seeing Muji and Cinta leave,

Rex closed the door into the mansion before he stayed by the door looking down at the ground, he can't bear to look at Rosie's parents any longer.

'Mother's intuition... I need to hurry', Rex thought before he went to his room.

Back to the present,

Rex and the others are currently in front of the gate of the city beside Eqosa City which is getting rebuilt back, they seem to be waiting for something or someone.

On the side, Delta is eating the Undead carcass that Rex kept in the inventory.

But the Undead carcasses don't belong to Durrant, the seventh rank Undead that he killed since he has other plans for that carcass, "Gistella", Rex called.

"Yes master...", Gistella approaches Rex and replies with her soothing voice.

After she got close, Rex then takes out Durrant's carcass which is very big from the inventory before he points at it, "Absorb this carcass, can you do it?"

"I think I can master", Gistella replied before walking closer to the carcass.

Using her hands, Gistella touches Durrant's carcass without showing any hint of emotion even though this once was her kind and also her leader.

Rex looks at this from the back before he suddenly saw something weird happening.

Right after Gistella touches Durrant's carcass, her hands start to suck the death energy leftover inside of Durrant's body like a vacuum.

It gradually decreases the size of Durrant's body at a visible rate,

Every speck of death energy that is inside every corner of Durrant's body got sucked out of him as Gistella's aura slowly got stronger, her body flutters converting the death energy she absorbed from Durrant into her own bluish energy.

While inspecting this from the back,

Rex saw some of the death energy doesn't get absorbed into Gistella's body, some of the death energy hovers behind creating a grey ball in front of her.

After a couple of minutes, Durrant's body is completely drained of death energy.

Upon looking at the grey ball of death energy, Rex finds that it can't be considered death energy anymore but instead a strand of the pure essence of energy.

It doesn't have a type, it's a typeless pure essence of energy.

Gistella looks at the grey ball before she can feel her black heart starting to beat slowly, it's excited from this grey ball wanting to devour it.

But before she devours it, Gistella looks back at Rex asking for permission.

Rex nodded his head in confirmation before Gistella looks back at the grey ball and slowly pull into the middle of her chest where the black heart lies.

Just after the grey ball got greedily absorbed by the black heart,

Swish!

A subtle shockwave exploded from Gistella's body, her black heart starting to beat even faster making Gistella closes her eyes feeling the subtle changes.

After another half a minute, she then opens her eyes and stands up.

"How do you feel?", Rex asks curiously.

Hearing this, Gistella looks at her own body before she replied, "I'm feeling... better!"

"Try activating your power, you should be able to summon a scale that will amplify your physical ability greatly", Rex instructed as the system said.

While focusing on the black heart, Gistella slowly channels the pure essence inside the black heart toward her arm just like she did when using her bluish energy, and just right after she did that scales start to appear on her right arm.

Rex inspects Gistella's stats and finds all of the physical stats increased,

Although he doesn't know exactly how much increases happened to Gistella's stats, it's at least comparable to his red force or maybe even greater.

"What is this master?", Gistella asks while looking at the dark bronze scales.

The dark bronze scales substitute the skin on her right arm covering it like armor, and she can feel the power brought by these scales, "That's your ability as a Werewolf Fiend, you can use that to enhance your body or block an attack"

But just after he said that Rex and the others sensed a person approaching.

A woman with blazing red hair wearing armor just like them slowly approached them from the city's gate direction, this woman is no doubt, Evelyn, whom Rex invited.

'She's one of us now, so I need to invite her', Rex thought.

He then glances at Adhara after looking at Evelyn, 'Now, how will she react', but just after he thought of that, Rex widens his eyes when he saw Adhara is already grinding her teeth and her eyes are glowing yellow.

A light cracking sound can be heard as her fingernails turn into claws while glaring at Evelyn.

If eyes can kill, Adhara's eyes right now will not only kill Evelyn but devour her entire body and even the last strand of her soul without mercy.

'She's surely taking this very well...'
