Chapter 120: Back at Ochyra University (1/2)
”What do you want?”
Rex glance at the man, he paused for a moment before saying, ”Do you have information about the 25 Golden Crest?”
Hearing this, the scar-faced man widened his eyes in surprise.
”You...”, the scar-faced man stutters, he didn't believe what he's hearing from Rex's mouth.
”Oh, you don't have any? I thought you have all kinds of information”, Rex taunted.
He then prepared himself to leave when suddenly the scar-faced man called, ”Which one do you want? don't be reckless with your choice sir”
'By the way he said it, this place is definitely owned by one of the 25 Golden Crest', Rex thought.
Rex sits back down before saying, ”I heard the Sullivan and the Platchi are having a quarrel, for personal reasons I want to know all about the Sullivan's”
Just after he said that the scar-faced man's face darkened.
Many of the guards started to grip their weapons tighter, the atmosphere becomes intense all of a sudden.
'Shit, did I gamble it wrong? Was this not the Platchi's market?', Rex thought in panic.
Although he started to become worried, Rex still maintains a stoic expression waiting for the scar-faced man to answer.
He already bought a teleportation crystal from the system if something went wrong.
Suddenly, the scar-faced man laughs.
This laugh caught Rex off guard, the guards around him also laughs.
”Why don't you say so from the start,”, the scar-faced man said while taking a report from the drawer.
He then continues, ”You came to the right place my friend, this is the report of all Sullivan's business, recent activity, members, and some of their core Awakened”
Hearing this, Rex wanted to take the report but got held by the scar-faced man.
”It cost $1,000,000, but for a friend you can get it for $800,000”, the scar-faced man said with a smile.
Rex didn't move, ”I'm also taking the kid there”, he said before tossing $850,000.
He's pointing at a kid inside a cage that he scans earlier, the kid has Gifts so he's tempted to recruit the kid into his pack.
The scar-faced man then signals the guard to take the kid before the guard sedates him.
Rex decided to buy the kid with gifts before because he feared that he might not find anyone up to standard to turn to, the kid will act as a backup plan if the worst comes to worst.
”Where do you want the kid to be sent?”, the scar-faced man asks.
Rex then replied nonchalantly, ”I have a business to attend to near Ochyra University, I'll send you the address later”
The scar-faced man nodded his head before he gave Rex a contact number.
Then, the scar-faced man gave the report.
Rex scans the report to make sure it's real before saying, ”Pleasure doing business with you”, he stretches out his hand for a handshake.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man shakes Rex's hand.
Rex glance at the scar-faced man's wrist with a smile, he then left the place under everyone's gazes.
Just after Rex left, the scar-faced man then said, ”Follow him, find out if he's from the top 20”
Rex went out of the candy shop, there's a smile on his face.
Aside from getting $4,150,000 from a lucky exchange, Rex also realizes something important from before.
'They're definitely the Platchi's, that tattoo is the black tiger's guild tattoo isn't it', Rex thought with an evil smile.
From the handshake before, Rex finally saw the tattoo clearly.
The scar-faced man's sleeves went up revealing the tattoo on his wrist, Rex caught this tattoo clearly and it is a black tiger tattoo.
Many of the Awakened insides has this black tiger tattoo, it seems many of the Black Tiger guilds got access to the Fire Band market.
”To think I stumble into their business by chance”, Rex thought in delight.
Just after he finished the tournament,
Rex wanted to deal with the Platchi, who would've thought he will encounter them this quickly.
Rex went back to Faraday University when suddenly he senses someone following him, he then turns to an alley on his left,
The man who is following Rex goes to the alley as well but he was surprised to find Rex disappear like a ghost.
Then suddenly, the man suddenly senses someone behind him.
He looks to his back and to his surprise, he found another person with claw-like hands appeared behind him suddenly.
The person wears a different mask and its body is emitting a thick dark red energy, which makes the man's legs turn into jelly.
In a flash, the person gripped the man's neck with its claw-like hands.
Blood started to flow down from the man's neck as the claw scratches him, ”Go back to your market while my master is still being nice”
Hearing this, the man nodded his head repeatedly.
The person with claw-like hands let the man go before the man run back to the market.
Unknown to the man, the person with claw-like hands is actually Rex.
After he went to the alley, he immediately buys a different cloak and masks to disguise himself as somebody else.
He even emits his Supernatural aura intentionally to the man.
Because of knowing that Supernatural is transacted in the market, Rex felt that it's okay to use his Supernatural aura.
The objective of going to the Fire Band Market is to find out if it's really the Platchi's, after Rex is certain that they're the Platchi's then he wanted to create another identity.
Rex wanted to make this powerful person with a high background that wants to raze the Sullivan, it will be good to find information later on if he's strong enough to help the Sullivan fighting the Platchi's.
'It's risky but it pays off, with this they will certainly believe me', Rex thought before he left.

Back at the market,
The man that follows Rex before runs back to the scar-faced man with heavy breaths.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man asks with a confused look, ”What are you doing? Why did you come back so quick?”
”He has a protector, it's a Supernatural with at least peak rank four power or even rank five!”, the man said with heavy breaths, he still felt the grip on his neck by the Supernatural.
Hearing this, the man nodded his head, ”It seems he's indeed from the top 20”
