Chapter 45: Basilisk Poison (1/2)
After talking, they both go back to the table.
Rex sits beside Rosie and got questioned instantly by Rosie, ”What did you guys talk about?”
”You'll see”, Rex replied calmly.
Muji is glaring at Rex the whole time,
Even Rex got confused as to why he's this mad, 'It's not like I will kill your daughter, why are you so mad', Rex thought as he stares back at Muji.
Feeling the intense vibe, Cinta clears her throat and said, ”Rosie dear, I accept the bet from Rex. He will fight with Kevin Luc and he has to put up a fight in order to win this bet”
Hearing this, Rosie's mouth went round.
She tugger Rex with her elbow and said, ”Kevin Luc is not an easy opponent, don't gamble using me”, she said while pouting.
Rex smile wryly, ”Don't worry, I'm strong”, he said while flexing his right bicep to Rosie.
Rosie rolls her eyes in annoyance, she can't comprehend how Rex still has the time to joke around.
”What?! But dear, Why?!”, Muji shouted looking at Cinta helplessly.
Cinta rubs her hand on Muji's shoulder as she whispers something in Muji's ear.
Muji's eyes turned into shock, he glances at Rosie worriedly before meeting Rex's eyes.
His eyes show reluctance but eventually gave up, ”Fine, when will this tournament begin?”
”It's most likely a week or so from now, you can come and watch if you want”, Rex said while sipping the drink on his side.
”What if you can't give Kevin a fight?”, Muji asks, his eyes look at Rex before falling to Rosie.
Rosie held her head low, she doesn't have the courage to look at her parents right now.
Rex raises his hand and patted Rosie's head, ”That won't happen”, Rex said confidently.
The words that came out of Rex's mouth bring a dependable feeling to Rosie,
She looks at Rex worriedly but Rex's smile seems to assure her that nothing will go wrong, Rosie decided to trust Rex on this one,
Muji and Cinta look at each other as a faint smile appears on their face, 'This kid...',
After clearing the urgent problems,
Rex claps his hand and said, ”Okay that's that, now let's eat!”
Rosie shakes her head,
Unknown to Rex, Rosie just found a new goal in her life and that goal is him.
She is filled with motivation to help Rex when he's in need and become the girl he wants. In her eyes, Rex becomes one of the most important people in her life.
The four of them eat and talk leisurely, the intense vibe before vanishes suddenly as if they're just a happy family from the start.
After eating, Rex and Rosie got back to the university.
The night is already late, the city street is devoid of people, only a couple of cars passes by.
Inside the car, Rosie is watching the beautiful night sky while feeling the breeze of the night air.
She smiles as she looks at Rex who is focused on driving, ”Thank you...”, she mutters lowly.
Rex with his Werewolf sense hears Rosie's words, he unconsciously cracked a smile while driving through the city street.
Zrolis City,
Jarvald the huge werewolf with a red glowing rune on its right shoulder is commanding its pack,
The Zrolis City is already flattened by the Werewolves, the place is in ruin as no building survives their berserk. Jarvald's Werewolf pack consists of roughly 30 Werewolves, for a city with little to no defense, this is an impossible lineup to beat.
In the middle of the city lies a hut made of bones, It is where Jarvald's place.
Zrolis City is full of Supernatural, not only Werewolf but also all kinds of Supernatural like Ogres, Trolls, Liches, Ghouls, and even Grendels.
These lower-ranking Supernaturals have just arrived at Zrolis City, they are numbered in the hundreds and emits a terrifying aura that makes even ants ran away from them.
There is a couple of humans restrained in the middle of the city beside the bone hut, they are all shivering in fear.
Jarvald walks out of the hut, many restrained humans piss themselves just as they look at the menacing Jarvald.
He looks at the horde of Supernatural and said loudly, ”Clear out the perimeter, Defend the city walls and send out scouts to inform us if any humans approach”
The Supernatural move obediently under Jarvald's command, the Ogres and ghouls go to the city wall, the Trolls and Liches went to the nearby places to clear out the place, and the Grendels scout the area.
Jarvald nodded his head before he walks towards the restrained humans, he lowers his body and stares at the guy that has no expression on his face.
The guy is wearing armor and he has a black crow tattoo on his neck,
”Where is the Silver Mooncress?”, Jarvald said right in front of the guy's face.
The other humans besides the guy shuddered in fear, just being near Jarvald brings a lot of pressure, especially for a normal person.
The guy throws his face away, he has no trace of desire to answer Jarvald.
Jarvald was angered, it grabs the guy's neck with its gigantic hand and lifts him up.
”Akh!”, The guy grunted feeling his neck choked, he struggles to break free but It is no use, Jarvald's claw is poking his neck making it bleed.
Jarvald brings the guy closer to its face, ”Let me ask you again, where is the Silver Mooncress?”
The guy's mouth was closed shut, it didn't even waver in front of Jarvald.
”TELL ME WHERE IT IS!!”, Jarvald roar right in front of the guy's face, the roar was so loud that even the guy's ears started to bleed but his expression is still the same.
Jarvald raises the guy and slams him down,
BAM!!
”Huakh!!”, The guy spat out a mouthful of blood, he felt all the air on his lungs disappear instantly.
Then suddenly while Jarvald is fuming with anger because of the guy, another grey-furred Werewolf appears behind Jarvald.
