Chapter 89: One Condition (1/2)

Inside one of the vice-principals offices,

”What?! How can they be unharmed?!”, a man shouted with anger.

A woman in front of him jolted in fear, she puts her head down, ”I don't know, they shouldn't be able to defeat twenty-plus White Assassins with two Peak Rank Four leading them”

The man paces left and right in panic, beads of sweat started to emerge on his forehead, ”You don't understand, this is a request from...”

RING!!

Before he can even finish, the hologram telephone rang just beside the woman.

She drags the hologram towards her with trembling hands, ”Sir Manuel, there's a phone call for you”, she said meekly.

Manuel was stunned, his face starting to turn pale before ha answers, ”Hello?”

”Manuel it's me, how was it? Is there anyone from them that uses a brute style of fighting and can kill my son with only their raw strength? Is it Rex Silverstar?”, the person on the phone said with an impatient tone.

If Rex hears this, he will recognize this voice as Duncan's voice.

Manuel's breaths become heavy, he then answered stutteringly, ”It's...It's definitely Rex, I assure you”, he lied desperately fearing the man on the phone knows that he failed.

”I knew it”, Duncan said before he hung up.

The woman lost all her face colors, ”Sir, Why did you lie? If that person finds out then...”

”Shut it! Let's just hope there will be no problems”, Manuel said, he then sits on his chair roughly while messaging his forehead.

The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky, the streets become silent with almost no people around.

It's already night when Rex and the others got out of the university,

Because of the event before, Rex decided to postpone the catchup with Edward to a different time.

He needs to finish the Berserk Quest that he got as soon as possible because he still needs to go back to the warehouse to check on Kiru and Miru.

'So when my Berserk stats exceed 80% I will get this kind of quest? but the system gives me a warning before the quest suddenly appear', Rex thought,

He didn't know how the Berserk Quest works, he tries to ask the system but this time the system didn't answer.

They are currently in the nearby cafe with an intense vibe, it subconsciously makes Hera and Bennie's mouths dry.

They can feel Rex and Edward's sour mood.

”Hera, Bennie, Leave me with Edward. I want to talk to him alone for a moment”, Rex said calmly, he wanted to talk to Edward about the quest.

Hearing this, Hera and Bennie look at each other nervously.

Bennie is the first one to gets up, ”Well, I got something to do as well. Nice to meet you, Rex, I'm going now”, he said before he left.

Hera was hesitating, her guts tell her that Rex is going to do something bad.

But under Rex's eye contact, her confidence crumbles before she left the cafe too following Bennie.

After they both left, Rex looks at Edward with a meaningful look.

”What do you want to do? I know that look and I say it is madness!”, Edward rebutted, he knows that Rex intends to kill Chris.

Rex smirks evilly, ”Why are you so dense, do you not want to kill him?”

Edward straightens his body, he sighs before saying, ”Believe me I wanted to, you see the scar on his face? That's my doing”

Hearing this, Rex was quite surprised, ”I know that you can beat him easily, whose behind him?”

”I really want to kill him but Chris is from the Sullivan Family, a high-ranking family just under Platchi Family. I got banned from challenging Chris, and I also almost got kicked out of the university”, Edward said peevishly, his hand trembled while remembering this event.

'As I predicted, he's indeed from a high-ranking family', Rex thought.

He then notices, ”Platchi Family? what's Sullivan Family's relation with the Platchi's?”

Edward thinks for a while, ”The 25 Golden Crest is the rank for the highest family in Ratmawati City, because of that the Platchi and Sullivan didn't get along in fact they're rivals. If I remember correctly, it's been three years since Sullivan Family tries to overtake Platchi Family's 25th place but fail”

Rex listens to Edward closely before asking, ”What is this 25 Golden Crest standing? Is it possible for one of them to hire assassins to attack someone?”

Edward was confused, Rex's question is out of context but he still answers it, ”For the 25 Golden Crest families, it is easy to hire assassins but if that someone is an Awakened then they can't kill them until they get enough to prove them guilty but that only applies when they're being monitored”

He looks towards the night street before he continues, ”The Sullivan can't kill mindlessly because they're not the part of the 25 Golden Crest, the Platchi is also under UWO watch because of their illegal business, so they certainly can't kill mindlessly”

Hearing this, everything clicks inside Rex's head as he said, ”Come with me, we'll go somewhere first”, he then walks out of the cafe leaving Edward.

”What the heck, he didn't even pay!”, Edward mumbled, he paid to the cashier before following Rex.

After a while, Edward and Rex arrive at the warehouse where Kiru and Miru are hidden.

There are no people around the warehouse,

There's still a couple of FAA officers around the warehouse but there are only a couple of them, only one unit consisting of four people is in front of the warehouse guarding it.

Rex already scans the four of them and saw they are only mid-rank three, so sneaking around them is easy for Rex and Edward.

He decided to not bring Rosie and Adhara as usual because the lesser the people know what he's about to do, the better.

'I hope they're not caught', Rex thought, he enters the warehouse silently.

Rex and Edward is an expert of sneaking in, they're drilled in Noob Box and they can proudly say that their skills are above the majority of people in terms of sneaking in a place.

He then walks to the white truck where he put Kiru and Miru, he takes a big breath before he opens it.

Thankfully, Kiru and Miru are still there staring at him sharply.

”Why are we going here? Aren't we supposed to talk about Chris?”, Edward said, he peeked his head inside and saw two people with assassins' outfits.

He was quite surprised before he asks, ”Who're they? How did you know they're here?”
