Chapter 515 Important News

"How does it feel... possessing the highest rank bloodline just below me?

Inside the master bedroom of the mansion, Rex closed the closet after changing into a more official attire since he will be going to the UWO main office. Handing over the war quota of the Silverstar Family must be done in person by the head family, so Rex needs to go there.

Sitting on the bed is Adhara gazing at Rex with her elegant eyes, she hasn't slept at all for days.

Looking at Rex already clad in a suit and tie, she was mesmerized by the effect of the suit and tie that made Rex looks dashing and sharp. It brings a whole other feeling, and it's been a while since she saw Rex in this kind of clothing.

"I feel..."

"I feel like a Female Alpha..."

p Adhara mutters softly feeling the power coursing in her body, her eyes glowing white briefly.

Hearing the confident tone coming from her mouth makes Rex nod his head, but soon his expression turns hard as he turns his body to face Adhara. With his eyebrows lowered, Rex then added, "Good, because if you hold back then I'll be shifting the blame to you"

It's unfair for Adhara but then again she was the one that proposed this deal and accepted it.

There's no going back now since the fight between her and Gistella is already time, and Rex already allows their fight through the system. It can't be canceled unless there's a necessary emergency.

"How's your mother doing? Is the shock that great?"

"She's managing, but clearly shaken by that incident. I'll check her again before I go"

Rex's expression tightens upon hearing his mother being brought up, he's clearly still angry about that incident. He's standing in front of a mirror while trying to tie his tie, the slight anger inside of him makes it hard for him to finish his tie.

It comes to the point that his breathing becomes rapid, panting while roughly making his tie.

Adhara stands up upon seeing this before she takes over, she gently pushes Rex's hands away before making his tie with her soft fingers. While she was making his tie, Rex can only look away.

"Are you going to the UWO main office alone?"

"No, I'll be going with Edward"

With Adhara making the tie, it's finished in a couple of seconds.

Tapping Rex's chest lightly before turning to look at their reflection in the mirror, Adhara then leans her head on Rex's chest and said, "About the Vampire stronghold, do you really think Calidora will be there?"

"I'm not sure... but the demons are very tricky, I simply do not believe that they are making huge movements in their stronghold without a huge reason. Just like your father's city, they always move with a hidden agenda"

"Vampires and Demons have worked together, I know that from the attack on the Great Barricade. It makes sense for them to work together again, but if Calidora is there..."

Rex glances at Adhara's expression through the reflection in the mirror and saw her troubled.

Although the brief encounter with Calidora is only brief, it was an impactful one. Calidora got decapitated right in front of her eyes by Rex, but she got back and fights again as if her head was never decapitated in the first place.

Supernaturals just like humans will die if their heads got decapitated, at least most of them are. But Calidora laughs at that statement, she got back up and continued on fighting.

If the berserk Rex can't beat her then the others have zero chance of beating her.

"Don't trust what you see, Calidora and I have a slight relationship..."

Upon hearing this, Adhara can't help but turn her head to look at Rex in confusion. She knows that the Vampiric Eyes are caused by Rex but that was it, and it's just what she thought as she has never confirmed it to Rex directly.

"We met one time during my first mission from the SCO. Me and my team back then manage to capture Calidora, but she was starting to become stiff from haven't eaten blood so I gave her some of mine. I do it since we'll need her for questioning, but she got saved by the Vampires"

"After that meeting, I was haunted by her. Before I can even realize it, we're bonded by an unknown Eternal Curse. Calidora got the Vampiric Eyes and it seems both of us can't kill each other until the Eternal Curse is broken"

Remembering back then, Rex regrets giving her his own blood that turned into this.

Not only does he got a problem that he can't kill or get rid of, but the Vampire's Princess also got stronger reaching the seventh rank realm just like himself. It's frustrating to think about.

But as he said that, Rex finds that Adhara is not that surprised.

"You knew...?"

"Oh, I sort of figured it out with the others. Gistella is knowledgable about the Supernatural world, so we figured out that the Vampiric Eyes are caused by you"

Hearing this, Rex shakes his head as it's rather obvious since Calidora aimed for him.

Without even asking Adhara, Rex already knows that one of the lead information would be the Vampiric Eyes that they saw back then in the museum. It's the same exact case as his with Calidora but the difference between them are the Vampiric Eyes in the museum got killed by others.

Just as he thought of that, his body suddenly froze realizing that he has been stupid.

'If that Vampire in the museum got killed, then why didn't I think of asking others to kill her? If I had done that way before then killing Calidora would be easy, but now she's already so strong that only a few can kill her'

Realizing that he has been stupid, Rex cursed himself in his head.

But there's nothing he can do now to change the past, so he can only do what he can right now, 'Now, I can either asks other stronger Awakened to kill her, or get the Witch to break the curse. I hope that Witch can really break the curse, if not I will rip her head out!'

After thinking that, Rex saw that Adhara is looking at him curiously.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing, I'm going to go right now. I'll be back later"

With that, Rex left the room as he needs to get to the UWO main office and meet with Vargas.

A couple of minutes later,

Rex went into the passenger seat of a blue chrome sportscar with a rough exhale, he was still lamenting about him overlooking the fact that he can reach for others to help. It's not his thing to ask for pure help, but it's a huge matter.

Looking at the flushed look on his face, Edward sitting behind the steering wheel tilted his head.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Thinking about unnecessary things..."

Hearing this, Edward nodded his head repeatedly with a gaping mouth while turning the car on, "Oh, you mean you did something wrong and you're now hating yourself in your head? I've seen that look a couple of times"

"Just like when you almost get us caught by the Ghouls on our last mission"

The tease from Edward's mouth makes Rex clicks his tongue in displeasure, and this further confirms what Edward suspects is true making him laugh out loud before stepping on the gas.

A moment later,

Many onlookers saw a blue sportscar leading many military trucks behind it.

The roaring of the sportscar engine can be heard reverberating through the street. As if the car is not cool enough, the roaring sportscar is driving on the privileged road reserved for high-ranking people of Ratmawati City.

While driving mid-speed, Edward positioned the middle rearview mirror before clearing his throat.

"What do you want? Just say it already"

Rex is looking at his phone scrolling through the news, he doesn't even turn his head from the phone screen while saying this. He knows that Edward wanted to say something,

"I'm thinking of moving Zelene and my Uncle to th-"

"Absolutely not"

Before Edward can even finish his sentence, Rex already intervenes and denied him knowing what he's going to ask. He cut Edward short as that is not going to happen especially with the condition inside the mansion.

"Are you going to put your family in the middle of a pack of Werewolf?"

"I can say the same thing about you, how could you put your own parents in the middle of a pack of Werewolf plus a sleeping dragon in the backyard?"

Rex was annoyed but he can't deny the fact that he did exactly that.

"It's a different thing, I'm thinking of their safety from the other 25 Golden Crest Families"

"The same thing can happen to my family too, they can be attacked just like what the Atkins did. Just let them stay in the mansion, I will tell Zelene to keep to herself and not cause trouble"

While listening to Edward's request, Rex can't help but rubs his chin in thought.

Upon seeing Rex that is clearly thinking, he is starting to feel elated inside. It seems that Rex will agree to his request but after a moment, Rex mutters softly, "We'll see..."

Despite not agreeing on the spot, it's good enough that he brought the matters.

Although sector 2 has its own UWO office that is big enough and usually used for large meetings, the main office of the UWO is not there as they feel the need to be close to the citizen. Upon arriving in front of the skyscraper building, a pair of UWO officers are waiting for them.

Of course with many military trucks traversing through the sector, the UWO already knows that Rex is on his way here. It's not a surprise to Rex for seeing these two waiting for his arrival.

"Welcome Sir Rex, President Sebrof is waiting for you"

Hearing this, Rex glanced at Edward before he nodded his head.

Edward went back into the sportscar before he follows a man that will guide him and the military trucks to the parking lot and also drop the newly appointed Awakened, they will be sent through the teleportation formation here to the city where they are needed.

With that, Rex steps into the building following the two UWO officers.

In just a moment, Rex finds himself walking in a hallway with Sebrof's room at the end of it.

Rex remembered the last time he was here was when he got back from the Undead mission, he got saved from Sebrof thanks to Gerrard that time. But now he's not as nervous as before.

Upon nearing the door, his eyes squinted when he saw a familiar woman standing beside the door.

'Linda...?'

As he realized the woman standing beside the door is Linda, Rex becomes even more at ease knowing that Vargas is definitely inside the room. Giving a nod to Linda, he then pushes the door open revealing the same scenery as the last time.

Sebrof is sitting behind his desk with a light-up cigar,

The cigar slowly got put in between his lips before its tip lit up, sizzling grey color climbs up to the ceiling as Sebrof smokes the cigar. With a subtle blow, the smoke waves out of his mouth lightly.

Rex scans the entire room and finds nothing has changed except for the red robe.

From the story that Sebrof said before, the red robe is his prized possession as it belongs to the first Enchanter that he killed after a gruesome and dragging fight. But now the red robe is not inside the room anymore.

Standing on the side of the desk is Vargas that is giving Rex a meaningful look.

"Sir Sebrof, I'm here as a representative of the Silverstar Family paying the necessary contribution for the war. They are all my newly appointed Awakened, and ready to fight in the war"

While looking at Rex with an unwavering expression, Sebrof then puts down his cigar.

"I'm surprised you can gather that much Awakened. For a new family, that much quota is still burdening yet you manage to fulfill it, in such a short amount of time too almost as if these Awakened came out of thin air. As expected of the mighty Rex Silverstar..."

Despite the toning and word construct that Sebrof used, Rex kept a stoic expression.

Having no reaction from Rex, Sebrof finally looks down and shakes his head, "But nevertheless, they are Awakened that we can use so on behalf of the UWO and also humanity I will accept these Awakened. I'll check the Silverstar Family's contribution for the time being"

After saying that, Sebrof signaled for Rex that he can leave.

Sebrof started to write something on his desk but soon raises his gaze realizing that Rex has not moved from his spot, "Is there anything you want to tell us, Sir Rex?"

"Actually, I have news regard-"

Before Rex can finish telling what he was about to say, the door into the room makes a clicking sound before a man holding a tablet walks inside politely. This man bowed to Rex, Sebrof, and Vargas one by one before he straightens his back.

"My apologies for barging inside, but I've brought important news"

Upon hearing this, Sebrof clasps both of his hands in front of him with squinted eyes, "Go on, what is the important news for you to come inside here without knocking"

The man smiled wryly knowing that he displeased Sebrof, but he continues on with the news.

"Three of our scouting Cessation Knights platoon has lost contact since yesterday night, one of our eyes southeast of the Vampire stronghold also got attacked but managed to escape barely. She reported that there's a small army of Vampires attacking low-level cities, and she also reported that the army is led by an Elf and a Royal Vampire..."
