Chapter 153: Devo the Gatekeeper (1/2)

Mrs. Greene comes walking towards Edward and hugs him.

They both met on the day they are given the medals by the UWO for their bravery, Edward becomes familiar with Mrs. Greene.

Especially when he remembered that Rex sacrificed himself for him.

”How are you dear? It's been months since I last saw you”, Mrs. Greene said with a smile.

She's delighted to see Edward in her place,

Edward smiles gently, ”I'm great Mrs. Greene, I'm sorry I haven't visited you for a while”

Hearing this, Mrs. Greene chuckles lightly.

”Why are you saying sorry, I understand that you're busy”, she replied while signaling to Robert to take her shopping bags.

Looking at his friend's mom this well, Edward can't help but be happy too.

He remembered the last time when they met, Mrs. Greene is devastated and sad so looking at her now brings joy to Edward also.

Mrs. Grenee brought Edward to the sofa,

They both sit down on the sofa before she said, ”You should've told me you're coming, I would've cooked for you”

”It's okay Mrs. Grenee”, Edward said politely.

Hearing this, Mrs. Greene then shoot down Edward's polite manner and said, ”What are you talking about, I can cook for you right now!”

Mrs. Greene stands up from the sofa but got held by Edward.

She looks at Edward with a confused look before Edward said, ”Actually, I'm here to invite you guys to go somewhere for a while”

Robert came back from putting down the shopping bags and heard their conversation.

”A trip? Sorry Edward, but I'm afraid I can't join”, Robert said dejectedly, he then explains that he got work to do.

Mrs. Greene added, ”I can come so don't worry, where are we going?”

”No, you both must come. In fact, Rex is the one who planned this so he'll be sad if you didn't come”, Edward said to Robert.

Robert was surprised, he didn't expect Rex the one to plan this.

”You met with Rex? That's great news!”, Mrs. Greene said.

She then told Robert to take a day off from work which he agreed to, ”If you met Rex, why didn't you come here with Rex?”

”Emm, he got something to do in the university so he can't come here”, Edward said.

Robert and Mrs. Greene nodded their heads before they started to pack, Edward said that they will depart as soon as possible.

'Thankfully they believe it, I'll just let Rex explain the situation to them', Edward thought.

Somewhere in Ratmawati City,

A family is having breakfast inside a big mansion.

The mansion is really big and dominated with the colors white and green, there are guards located in every corner of the mansion inside or outside, and many luxury cars park on the front.

Inside the dining room, a family of five is eating gracefully.

The smell of food filled the room, and there are maids on a standout for any of their needs.

All of the family members have green hair except for a middle-aged woman that has brown hair, and the atmosphere in the dining room is chokingly silent.

The head of the family is eating leisurely as his fierce eyes gaze onto his daughter.

If Rex is here, he will recognize the daughter to be Jane he met last night in Amethyst Hotel.

Jane puts her head down feeling pressured by his father's gaze, it makes her hand tremble as she started to fidget under the table.

”You're saying that this kid called Rex has all three spellbooks?”, her father repeats Jane's words.

Jane bit her lips remembering the day when she met Rex, ”Yes father, he has proof of possessing all three spellbooks and he doesn't fear our family”

Her words make the dining room atmosphere becomes even more suffocating.

Knowing that there's a nobody that does not fear and even threatened their families makes the father's face becomes grim, even the sons become scared because of it.

The father's chewing stop, ”And What did he say to you?”

”He said that he wanted his terms to be heard, he wanted to talk to you. He wanted to talk to Wesley Atkins”, Jane said with a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Wesley takes a deep breath to calm himself down.

”I told you to steal the spellbooks, they didn't know we know of their spellbooks so you will only fight the Platchi. And you said that you got beat to it by Rex?”, Wesley said as his voice becomes deeper and deeper.

Fearing that her father will become even angrier, ”No father, Rex said that he didn't intend to steal the spellbooks. His men got the wrong box, it seems he's an enemy with the Platchi”

PRANG!

Wesley's aura exploded sending the food and plates flying away.

”That doesn't justify anything!”, Wesley shouted.

He then continues, ”You are a rank six! but you got beaten by a student that barely reaches rank four?”

Wesley then stands up and approaches Jane,

He stopped right before Jane towering beside her, ”I told you the importance of the Spellbooks if they get it, our family will be scorn from the top ten”

Just as he said this, one of the guards approaches Wesley.

The guards then lean closer to Wesley's ears whispering something.

Hearing the information from the guard, Wesley widened his eyes before his face becomes brutal, ”I'll go meet this bastard, and in the meantime, you try and settle the score for me”

After saying that to Jane, Wesley then left the room.

The next day,

Rex is in his house eating with both Ryze and Kyran.

Rex saw Kyran has panda eyes because he can't sleep, he fears that when he falls asleep their enemies will come and attack him.

”Let me help, I want to help”, Kyran said determinedly.

Rex glance at Kyran before he sighs, ”You're in a difficult position, if you want to help me then think through your actions that lead to this and don't do it again”
