Chapter 88: Wicked Smile (1/2)
”Ho, the hero of humanity Edward, who's that on your side?”, a mocking voice seeped from their backs
Hearing the voice, Edward frowns as his face turns red in anger.
Rex noticed Edward's changes before he looks back with a cold look, he wanted to know who's the one that can make the outgoing Edward angry like this.
On his back is a group of students,
The leader of the group is the one who called out to Edward, his disgusted expression can be seen clearly when his eyes landed on Edward.
He has red hair that falls down to his right side, a big scar crossing his chin all the way to his neck that looks brutal, and also he brought two people with him.
”What do you want?”, Rex answered coldly, he doesn't know why but his anger is bubbling.
The guy glance at Rex mockingly, he puts his face just a couple of inches away from Rex as he said fiercely, ”Do you know who you're talking to? a trash's friend will also be trash, so zip your mouth if you don't want to get hurt”
”Just beat him up Chris, he needs a good beating”, a woman laughs from the side while tapping Chris's shoulder.
Rex stands there motionless, his expression darkened.
Hera started to sweat, he can feel Rex will explode at any moment, 'What do I do? my body refuses to move', she thought, Rex's aura and the scene before makes her body trembles even if she wanted to stop them.
”What is your problem with Edward?”, Rex asks coldly, he doesn't want to be impulsive in this kind of situation. From Chris's confidence, he's probably got a great background and Rex has too many troubles on his hands already, he didn't want to add another.
His eyes glisten as he sees Chris's stat,
<chris sullivan=””></chris>
Race: Human
Power: Rank Three(Peak) - Fire Elementalist
Mental: 28
Strength: 26
Agility: 34
Endurance: 30
Intelligence: 50
Seeing this, Rex was confused, 'This guy can't possibly defeat Edward, he can't even come close to Edward's skills', he becomes more certain that this guy has a solid backer.
Chris points at Edward who is putting his head down in anger, he pokes Edward's head repeatedly while saying, ”This guy attack me just because I mock his friend, what's the dead kid's name again?”
”It's Kyle, what a loser. He got killed by a lowly Ghoul”, The woman on Chris's side laughs hysterically.
”Yeah right? A loser got a medal from dying against a ghoul!”, Chris's said while holding his stomach in laughter, tears came out because of his excessive laughter.
Hearing this, Edward's veins bulged angrily, ”YOU BASTARDS!!”, he raises his hand but got stopped.
<warning!! the=”” user's=”” berserk=”” stat=”” has=”” exceeded=”” 90%!=””></warning!!>
Rex's body is trembling, his aura started to leak chaotically as his body cracks with a little bit of black lightning.
He looks up and glares at Chris with murderous eyes, the anger within him erupted like a volcano. He unconsciously activates Alpha Intimidation as his eyes glow red.
”Eh?”, Chris freezes under Rex's gaze, he doesn't know why but his whole body started to tremble under Rex's glare. It felt like his body is restrained by waves of water, it is hard to move or even breathe. Rex's killing intent is so thick that he felt scared, he can't even look at Rex.

Rex's suppressed his anger as his murderous gaze turns into a smile, he then bowed a little, ”I'm sorry for wasting your time, please excuse us”, he can already feel the immense fear emitted by Chris so he didn't want to scare him more lest he finds shelter from him.
He then signals to the others to leave, even Edward turns his body and left unwillingly.
Hera and Bennie sigh in relief, they thought Rex will go berserk and attack Chris right this moment. If that were to happen, they can't even imagine the consequences.
The girl beside Chris shouted, ”How dare you leave before we let you! Come back here!”, she then spit onto Rex.
The spit landed on Rex's back making him stop abruptly, ”You got a problem?”, the girl said mockingly.
Everyone around Rex got stunned by this scene, they can't even fathom someone did it to them nevertheless to Rex!
Rex exhales slowly as he ignores her and left the scene.
She then scoffed in annoyance and said, ”Chris, why did you let them go like that? You have to beat them up, if not they will become more full of themselves in the future”
Chris didn't answer the girl, he doesn't even move from his spot.
”Chris?”, the girl approaches but what greeted her was Chris with a pale expression, she touches Chris's shoulder and she can instantly feel his body trembling.
'What is that?! He's...He's a monster!!', Chris thought in fear, he needs a couple of minutes after Rex left before he can finally move his body.
After leaving the training hall, Edward shouted at Rex with anger.
”How can you let them be like that?! It's Kyle for god's sake, he sacrificed himself for us! I don't care, I will go back and beat them”, He's frustrated with Chris's group.
He wanted to go back to the Training Hall but suddenly Rex gripped his shoulder,
Edward glance at Rex with confusion but Rex's expression makes him jolted.
Rex's face is decorated with a wicked smile that makes Edward jolted in shock, he gripped Edward's shoulder tightly, ”Oh they will be sorry alright, just meet me at night”
He's doesn't want any more enemy but something just can't be tolerated, he even got a quest from the system which boosts his motivation for killing Chris. Out of all, he just can't tolerate people mocking his friend especially
”What will you do?”, Edward asks before getting a twisted expression reply from Rex.

Back in Noob Box,
It is already night with the moon hanging up in the sky brightly, there is little to no sound in the Noob Box as the recruits were all getting ready for bed.
Rex on the other hand is cleaning the Captain's room, he's the one in charge of it today.
