Chapter 95: Kevin Luc (1/2)
In the Black Tiger's guild office,
Duncan is seating on his desks while attending to the piles of paper in front of him, he looks quite busy.
The sun is shining bright behind him and he felt refreshed when suddenly,
BAM!
”Dear!!”, a woman shouted after slamming the door open.
The secretary follows after she tries to hold her back to no avail, the woman's face was in a panic as she strides towards Duncan.
Duncan raises his gaze, ”What are you doing here, can't you see I'm busy?”
He looks calm and collected even though last night he already knows the killer of his son Lucas, it is highly commendable patience that is pretty terrifying, to say the least.
The woman then said, ”The Sullivan just sent us a Red Wing! They attack our cash stack in Aglaenira Church and left a red wing letter”
”Red Wing? But we didn't even approach much less kill one of their family members”, Duncan replied with a frown, he didn't know why they sent him a red wing.
The woman held her forehead, ”They blame us for the death of Chris”
Hearing this, Duncan stands up abruptly with clear anger, ”How dare they?! Do they really think I will be that petty? Killing their son because my youngest son is dead?!”
Just as they're talking, the phone on Duncan's desk rings.
”Sir, there's a guest in the meeting room. It's the Sullivan Family”
Duncan slammed the phone and stormed out of the room leaving the woman,
He arrives at the meeting room and saw five people wearing red formal clothes with a Hellcat crest on their chests, they are all sitting calmly on their respective seats but a terrifying chill can be felt from them.
The five of them send a cold glare at Duncan just after he arrives at the room.
”What is the meaning of this?! How can you think so lowly of me to do that”, Duncan shouted in anger, he felt his pride got hurt because of their accusation.
A woman with blonde hair stares at Duncan's eyes coldly, she stands up slowly and said, ”This is too far Duncan, our family has been a rival for years but I can't believe you stoop this low”
Duncan points at the woman angrily, ”I didn't do such things! This is nonsense!”
Slap!
The woman threw a photo on the meeting table, ”The evidence is pretty obvious, these are your doings”
Duncan grabbed the photo angrily, he looks at the photo and can't help to get shocked, 'What? Why are the assassins sent by Manuel are there?', he thought.
The photo shows Chris' corpses beside two white assassins.
”Stop your acting Duncan, although our family is weaker than yours, we will not stand by and let you trample on us. You did this, and we demand the red wing, ” the woman said, her words raise the room temperature.
She then squinted her eyes and said meaningfully, ”I could've just killed one of your family but I decided to send the red wing, Blood will demand to be paid by blood”
Duncan was at a loss for words, he's thinking about how can this happen.
Then suddenly a thought came to mind, 'These white assassins are sent to test Rex, is this his doing?! He knows I'm after him so he decided to strike first?'
He grinds his teeth in anger, ”Diana, you must believe me! it's not me! It's that kid Rex doing!”
Hearing this, Diana glance at Duncan in confusion, ”Rex?”
”It's the kid from Ochyra University! He also killed my son!”, Duncan said desperately, he was still shocked to realizing Rex's scheme.
Diana chuckles, she then cast a mocking gaze, ”That's your best excuse? Unlike your son, my son is guarded by a rank five. Your excuse is pretty pathetic I must say”
After saying that, Diana signals to the others and left the room.
Family war is coming and the Sullivan is not backing out of this, leaving the room means they're set in stone to have the Platchi family pay by blood.
Duncan was left speechless in the room, his hands burn with blue fire as he smashes the meeting room table to pieces.
BAM!!
”REX!!!”, he shouted frantically.

Back to Ring of Tenacity,
Rex is sitting on a metallic chair in the backroom waiting for them to be called, the others also minding their own business.
The lecturer brought back a device that shoots a blue hologram.
”Gather around, I will introduce you guys and explain the tournament”, the lecturer said as the students gather.
The opening is already started as they can hear the principal of Faraday University already started his speech.
Rex listen to the lecturer attentively,
”First let me introduce myself, I am Anthony that is in charge of managing students during outside tournaments like this. You can call me Tony, and I will be your instructor”, Tony briefly introduces himself.
Rex studied Tony and see that he's quite good, he's a mid-rank five Metal Elementalist.
He looks well built wearing a training uniform, black hair, a kind aura, and there is a grey rune on his cheeks.
Tony then continues, ”The tournament consists of three stages, Mana Control, Supernatural Hunt, and Duel. In the first stage, you will be tested on your control of mana by making any weapon using purely mana. In the second stage, you guys will hunt down a Supernatural. And lastly, you will fight against Faraday University students one on one”
”We are not expecting this, we thought that the tournament will only be a one on one duel but this is unexpected”, he said while shaking his head.
They thought that it will only be a regular match but who knows it becomes like this.
Hera also added, ”I tried to speak with them but they can't change the tournament, so we must make do. They wanted us to look bad, so we must prove them wrong”
Hearing this, Rex frowns as he was not expecting to be like this.
The other representatives also complain about it, it was understandable for them to be mad.
The mana control is a bit new for Rex, he only relies on the system on using spells and he never fought an opponent that can utilize mana like this.
”Adhara, do you know how to do the Mana Control?”, Rex asks.
Adhara glance at Rex briefly and said calmly, ”You need to be at least rank three, if you manage to enter rank three in one day which sounds impossible then I can help you not that I'm any good at it”
'Seems like I need to use the mana charm elixir today, it's embarrassing for me to be still in rank two', Rex thought.
After Tony explains the tournament, he also gives each of the representatives a badge and a uniform.
Rex got the number 1 badge, 'Are this based on the student's ranking?'
The badge is black in color with a white number carved on it from 1 to 8, the uniform is almost similar to the lecturer's uniform worn by Hera before.
