Chapter 38: Vouver City (1/2)

Inside the main branch of UWO in Ratmawati City,

A middle-aged man with white hair and a white beard is sitting on a chair inside some kind of private room, behind him is a big modern window that showcases the entire Ratmawati City.

On his table scatter papers and documents, there is a sign on his table saying, ”Sebrof Mosk”

Sebrof's muscular body looks abnormal for his age, he seems to be in deep thought while stroking his creased forehead.

Suddenly the door opened,

A man in his twenties wearing glasses enters the room with a document in his hand, he bows slightly towards Sebrof

”President Sebrof, three guilds have agreed to join hands to take back Strada City. These are the lists of guilds and their member that will participate in the siege”, He said, although he looks calm one can see his hands are trembling while giving the documents.

Sebrof takes the document and reads it swiftly, his eyes then widened in disbelief, ”Is this a joke?”, he said glaring at the man.

He then continues, ”Out of 9 guilds, only 3 agreed? and also they only sent a total of 9 rank-five Awakened and 34 rank-four Awakened?! This is a Werewolf pack lead by Brutal Grey we're talking about!”, Black lightning started to circulate around him, the aura of a rank eight Awakened pressed down on the man.

The man falls to his knee unable to handle the pressure, ”They said it is too dangerous for their higher-ranking member to join in blindly”

”Too dangerous?! Do they want me to ask help from the military again?! Where will I put my face then!”, Sebrof's anger explodes hearing the half-ass excuse.

BAM!!

Sebrof slam's his hands on the table immediately splitting it into two, the floor trembles under his might, ”Tell the nine guilds, all of the guilds need to participate and need to at least gives 10 rank-six Awakened”

Hearing this, the man wearing glasses bows his head, ”Yes sir!”, he then left the room hurriedly but before he can open the door Sebrof called.

”Are you still monitoring that Organization?”, he asks while sitting back down trying to calm his anger.

The man turns to his back and replied, ”Yes, they are on the move”

Sebrof waves his hand sending the man away, he then clicked his tongue in displeasure, 'I cannot get outshine by them, more people started relying more on them than us', he thought.

Back to Ochyra University,

Rex is going to meet up with the others in a cafe,

While he's walking, he read about the mission sent by Adhara, 'The mission is located on Vouver City, a level three city in the east of Ratmawati City. The FAA already sent two rank-two Awakened teams and one rank-three Awakened team but they all have gone missing, the supernatural said to be a Lamia with at least rank three power'

Lamia is a creature with an upper body of a human and a lower body of a snake, they like to kidnap kids and eat them alive.

Rex frowns after reading this, he doesn't know why but he got a bad feeling about this one.

After ten minutes, he arrives at the cafe and met the others there.

”So are you excited about our first mission?”, Rosie said just after Rex sit beside her.

Rex scrunch her face making Rosie pouted and said, ”This is not a game, so prepare yourself well alright”

Rosie wanted to rebut but stopped when Rex suddenly said, ”I don't want you to get hurt”, her face blushed red as she nodded her head obediently.

After that, Laura then said, ”When are we departing? We can just ask Mr. Joseph permission to be absent until we're done”

”How about tomorrow? Let's prepare and depart tomorrow morning”, Adhara said after brief thinking.

The others agree to depart tomorrow as they left to prepare themselves.

The next day,

Rex is in his room packing his stuff, he brought spare clothes, food, water, and necessary items that they might need such as Healing Elixir, Protection Rune, Alarm Rune, Silent Rune, etc.

He also bought a couple of combat suit if somehow he needed to sneak around, with that the money he has decreased by a huge chunk.

After packing the elixirs into his inventory and his clothes and weapon into the bag neatly, he nodded his head in satisfaction before he plugs his earphone and left his room.

Rex and the girls will meet at the train station, they will go there by train because using a car is not convenient especially there are many inspections done on cars.

They board the early train and left Ochyra University,

The sky is still dark without a shy of light, the train is spacious as there are only a few people inside.

Rex is playing with his phone beside Laura, Rosie and Adhara fell asleep beside each other leaving him and Laura awake.

The cold air enters the train making Laura hugged her body, she accidentally bumps into Rex's arm and felt warmth from it.

Laura glances at him and asks, ”Since when did you get this warm? and also, you're so muscular now huh”, she said while touching Rex's rock-solid arm and muscles.

Rex who is playing a game on his phone replied, ”I've been like this since the military, you just didn't notice”

”Fine, I'll watch you closely from now on”, She said while leaning her head on Rex's shoulder still staring at Rex.

Hearing this, Rex becomes embarrassed, ”Stop teasing me already”, he said helplessly.

”HAHA, still shy as ever”, Laura laughs before she closes her eyes.
