Chapter 117: Silverstar Mark (1/2)
”Don't see it, you'll die”, Rex whispers to Adhara.
Rex immediately hugs Adhara because the system sent a warning to him upon seeing the stone tablet.
<Warning!>
<Remnant of the White Omicron detected, DO NOT look at it>
The system warning came just before he glanced at the stone tablet, and instantly after he laid his eyes on it, his eyes started to bleed uncontrollably.
Rex is surprised when he sees the word 'DO NOT' bold and red, the system has never done it before until now.
His eyes are still throbbing madly even though he already closed them.
Feeling Rex hugging her to cover her vision, Adhara widened her eyes before she too looks away.
She didn't even hesitate as soon as she saw Rex's eyes bleeding, she knew that if Rex is hurt by it then what would happen to her.
”Rex?! Are you okay?!”, Hera shouted as she approaches Rex.
Rosie also followed behind her with hurried steps, the situation escalated in the blink of an eye.
Both Rosie and Hera were so shocked by the sudden situation, they both unconsciously avoid seeing the stone tablet because Rex got hurt by it.
”What happened? How did this happen?”, Hera asks worriedly.
Rex covers his eyes with his hand and said, ”Let's just go, I can't be here for too long”
'Did that stone tablet got something to do with Werewolf? There's not another explanation for this sudden situation', Rosie thought as she followed the others outside.
Rex already wipes the blood coming out of his eyes,
Although he already wiped it, one can still see the bloodstain on his face and his shirt.
The guards glanced at Rex with a confused look, they didn't understand what happened to Rex's eyes and shirt because they know that the stone tablet inside is not aggressive like the Supernatural carcass.
After the museum incident, they all went back to their rooms.
Hera questioned Rex about the incident before but Rex told her that this happened because he's still tired and weak from the tournament.
She seems skeptical about it but she finally puts it to rest.
Now, Rex is alone in the second-floor hall.
After resting for a while, Rex went to the second floor after he changed his clothes.
He's currently trying to find a room with the number 505 on it, 'She said that her room is around here, oh! there it is', Rex thought.
Room 505 is on the corner-most room and it is decorated differently.
There are only a few rooms in this section of the second floor, the door is carved with a family crest, and the front of room 505 is guarded by two early rank four female guards.
Rex approaches the room before he got held by the guard.
”You're in the wrong place, please go back”, one of the guards said, she's looking Rex up and down.
Rex then replied, ”This is Evelyn's room right? I have an appointment with her”
Hearing this, both guards widened their eyes in surprise, ”How dare you call our miss like that! You will be hanged for that!”
One of the guard's bodies started to envelop in mana as anger bubbled up inside her.
Rex is confused, ”What? I called her Evelyn just like any other normal people would”, he said trying to defend himself.
He didn't feel wrong to call her that, it's her name.
Before the guard becomes even furious, the door suddenly opened revealing Evelyn in an inappropriate pajama.
Seeing this, Rex turns his head away.
”Stop it, he's a guest of mine so let him in”, Evelyn said gracefully before she goes back inside.
Hearing this, both of the guards bowed deeply and said, ”Forgive me Lady Evelyn”, they then let Rex enter the room.
After Rex and Evelyn enter the room, both guards look at each other in shock.
”Since when did Lady Evelyn have guy friends?”
Inside the room,
Rex looks around the room as he nodded his head,
The room is decorated in black, gold, and red. The floor is covered with black and red carpet, there are a couple of chairs and tables to attend guests, a majestic purple sword hanging on the wall and there is a family photo of the Luc Family on the wall.
Rex looks at the family photo, there are four people in it and Kevin is one of them.
Just as he looks around, a soothing voice crept to his ears, ”Are you done looking around? Is my family photo more interesting than me?”
Hearing this, Rex turns to his back.
The scene that greets him greatly shocked him to his core.
Evelyn who wears revealing pajamas is sitting on the edge of the bed, her blazing red hair is tied, and she looks at Rex seductively.
She crossed her legs slowly, the graceful air that she always has vanished.
The scene makes Rex gulped his saliva hard, his vision filled with purple lust, ”I...I want to give this back to you”, Rex said.
He takes the sword on his side and lays it on the table.
”Without the sword, I might not be able to beat Kevin, and it seems you know that”, He added.
Evelyn untied her hair making it fall gracefully to her side, it covers one of her eyes as she said, ”Is that the only thing you want to say by coming here?”
Rex's mind went wild, he then forcefully held it in and said, ”I owe you one”
Hearing this, Evelyn stands up from her bed while her hair swayed left and right following her body's movement.
She started approaching Rex closer, ”I must say, I'm quite interested in you”
Rex's body froze, he can only watch Evelyn getting closer to him.
Her womanly scent penetrates Rex's nose as she got closer and closer, Evelyn's slender hands then touch Rex's chest slowly making Rex's body stiffen.
She then wiped the slight bloodstain on Rex's cheek and said, ”Then I'll make full use of it when the time comes”
Evelyn kissed Rex's cheek before she called the guards to escort Rex out.
After giving back the sword to Evelyn, Rex held his chest.
His heartbeat is thumping hard right now, and his face is red because of Evelyn. 'I need to get myself together'
It is already night now,
Adhara is already waiting for him in the Yichi Grove, they decided to go there separately to lessen the suspicion of wandering eyes.
Because of the tournament before, he becomes famous throughout the university.
Many people started to pay attention to him when he walks around, it feels weird but Rex got used to it.
While he's walking along in the university lobby, his hand suddenly got grabbed.
Rex didn't get surprised because he can already smell the scent of Rosie, ”What is it, Rosie? I need to go somewhere”, Rex said coldly.
”I want to talk to you, please it will be just a minute”, Rosie said pleadingly.
Rex nodded his head, the night is still early so he's not in a hurry to turn Adhara.
They both went to a quieter place, Rex notice Rosie is fidgeting her fingers while walking beside him.
”What is it? What do you want to talk about?”, Rex asks.
Rosie bit her lips for a moment, she then said meekly, ”What will happen to you and me now? I know that the deal is done but can we...”
Before she can finish, Rex intervenes, ”Our deal is done, and that's that”
”I can still pretend to be your boyfriend in front of your parents but aside from that, we have nothing between us”
Hearing this, Rosie is stunned.
Rex's cold words make her heart ache, she knows this will happen but it still hurt her.
After saying that, Rex wanted to leave but got held by Rosie again.
”Can I ask why?”, Rosie said while putting her head down.
Her question is simple but Rex knew that if he told her, then she will try to prove to him and that is not what Rex wanted.
