Chapter 145: Massive Problem (1/2)
That night,
A fat man runs hurriedly from the warehouse, his run is slow but he put his all into it fearing that he will be caught.
'If the Platchi know what I did, I'm done for', the fat man thought.
He ran out of the factory, all he wanted is to flee this place and just forget that any of this ever happened to him and live a simple life.
Taking Platchi's money, he completely regrets all of that.
The fat man's eyes darted left and right, he can hear people approaching the warehouse. Their shouts can't be heard by the fat man because he's already quite far.
If somehow he'll get caught by those people, then he will surely be tortured and killed without mercy.
He manages to run to the streets, he saw a car passing by.
This makes a smile appear on his face, he picks up the pace and runs faster but before he can shout a hand grabbed him from the side.
The fat man was shocked as he got flung to the side.
”Damn it! Who the fuck is it!”, the fat man groaned as he rolled on the ground, his arms started to bleed because of the momentum he got flung to the side.
From the side, three people approached him.
These three people are wearing white uniforms with golden ornaments, a red scarf wrapped around their necks, and a silver weapon on each of them.
The weapons are not ordinary weapons, they emit power that even the fat man can feel it.
Even he, a normal person can feel the raging power within the weapons.
Looking at them, the fat man's face went pale.
”Who...Who are you?”, the fat man asks with a trembling voice.
Just from the eyes of these three people, the fat man knows that they are people that he can't mess with even if he has a thousand lives.
A woman with long dark green hair stepped on the fat man with her heels.
She looks down on the fat man as if she's seeing a shit, her disgusted expression says it all.
Her piercing eyes look at the fat man making him gulp, ”Honey, you messed up our plan. So we have a few questions for you, I hope you answer them well”, the woman said.
”I will tell her the truth if I were you, she's pretty scary”, the guy on the side added.
Hearing both of their sayings, the fat man instantly knew that he can't just run off from this even he's also an Awakened.
'I'm fucked', he thought.

Rex busted into his house in a hurry, Adhara also follows behind him completely clueless to the situation they are in right now.
”Where is he?”, Rex said while looking left and right.
Edward approaches him with Kyran on his side, Kyran is holding his head down.
Rex looks at Kyran with a hint of anger, but he knows that it is also his fault for hurrying this, ”Didn't Edward told you what you're objectives are? Why did you make contact?”
”It's the perfect moment to sneak in, and also I know where their warehouse is because of it”, Kyran defended.
But under Rex's glare, he can't keep his head up.
Looking at Rex that is about to burst in anger, Edward steps up and told him, ”Let's go to the other room, the thing is inside”
After saying that, both Edward and Rex went to the other room.
In the room, they saw a long wooden box that looks ordinary sitting on a table.
Edward signals to Rex, he nudged his head towards the box signaling Rex to see what's inside the box himself.
Rex walks slowly towards the box, he doesn't know what he expects to see in it.
He stretched his hand as he opened the box cover, the content inside the box makes his eyes widened in surprise.
Thud!
The box covers fall to the ground making a thudding sound.
Rex scrunches his face with his hands in shock as he sees the content of the box, he then looks at Edward with a disbelieving look.
”Yeah, there's three very high-ranking wind spellbooks. One offensive, one defensive, and one powerful enhancement spell”, Edward explained.
The inside of the box turns out to be very powerful spellbooks and a bunch of stones that came alongside it, they hit the jackpot.
But although they hit the jackpot, their faces are grim as they look at the spellbooks inside the wooden box.
Rex looks down in thought before Edward said, ”You know what this means right?”
”Out of all the content in the warehouse, Kyran can take, he just have to choose this one”, Rex said in frustration, he can't believe another massive problem fall into his lap.
He already checks the spellbooks and the stone with the system, and it is true.
All of these is indeed very powerful wind element spellbooks, it needs at least a rank seven Awakened to even learn these spells.
Edward leans on the wall with a grim expression, ”We have to give it back”
”How?! That warehouse will be filled with people searching for this!”, Rex shouted, his emotion is erupting right now.
He got enough problems and now he got a new one.
A very bad one at that too, it's simply catastrophic for their current state.
Edward looks at Rex seriously, he then said, ”We can just leave the box near the Platchi's market, they will find it then and all of it will go back like normal”
Hearing this, Rex waves his hand and went out to the balcony.
He's getting fresh air and calming himself down, 'What should we do, this is an emergency', Rex thought with a frown.
The content of the box is three very powerful wind spellbooks, only above rank seven can use it.
The Platchi family is just the 25th in the rankings, and they are lead by Duncan Platchi who himself is a rank seven powerhouse.
