Chapter 164: Conclusion and Rewards (1/2)

Rex gaze at Stevanus who is sitting calmly in his seat, his eyes are looking at Rex with a hint of anticipation that Rex finds disturbing.

The house is filled with powerful people, many of them can beat Rex easily.

They're all looking at Rex who is in the middle of the room, many of the guards are ready with their hands on their weapon's hilt.

All of them are scary, but Rex is warier with the woman on his left.

The woman is chewing gum while leaning on the wall lazily, she looks like a clumsy woman but Rex can feel the sharpness of the woman.

He even can imagine that if he does something dumb, the woman will be the first one to shoot.

”Sir, this here is the young man I talk about. Rex Silverstar”, Deniz whisper while slightly bowing to Stevanus.

Hearing this, Stevanus looks back at Rex.

Stevanus then said with his gravelly voice, ”I heard a lot about you from Deniz here, he said that you're the one that came up with the plan to hurt Atkins Family”

”You flatter me with your words, Sir, I just talk words that came to mind”, Rex replied humbly.

Hearing this, Stevanus smiled amusedly.

He doesn't expect someone that can deviate a ruthless plan will have a humble personality, he thought that Rex will be a prideful man.

Stevanus then creates an illusionary stack of cash using his wind mana before he said, ”The plan you created works brilliantly”

”The factories under Atkins Family successfully raided by us, even Wesley's right man Hans is not there to protect the factories. It's completely defenseless”, While saying this, the illusionary stack of cash disintegrated with the waves of Stevanus' hand.

Rex then bowed humbly and said, ”I'm glad that I didn't waste your time Sir”

Stevanus looks at Rex with hawking eyes, he knits his eyes and said, ”It's a great plan, but is that plan the only plan you have?”

Hearing this, Rex looks at Stevanus with a confused look.

”Creating that ruthless plan certainly speaks of your personality, and I will be surprised if you didn't make any kind of deal with the Atkins Family also”, Stevanus said making Rex frown.

Looking at Stevanus doubting him, something inside Rex feel uneasy.

It's not about Stevanus' cautious behavior, but just the way he's looking at Rex makes Rex feel that he's below him.

He already meet the Atkins Family and now he's meeting with the Reed Family, and all of them seem to like looking down on him from their mighty perspective.

Rex then said, ”You're right to question me Sir, but I didn't make any deal with them”

Although what Rex said to Stevanus is a lie, technically it's not a deal that will hurt the Reed Family that badly.

He only does it to get time for him to get stronger.

”How's Adhara doing? Is she in good condition?”, Stevanus questioned with a slight smirk.

Hearing Adhara's name getting brought, a slight anger creeps into Rex's spine before he calms himself down, 'He knows about the poison'

Stevanus then looks at Deniz before he continues, ”I'm told by Deniz here that the Wesley is angry because we poisoned them, and I might be old but it's not to the point I forgot about such thing”

The room's vibe becomes tense, the guards are all staring at Rex directly.

Under everyone's attention, Rex is thinking calmly as he looks at Stevanus' eyes.

He's thinking of a way to ease this thing to the Reed Family, but he can't think of any that might justify his action of poisoning Wesley.

With a deep breath, Rex said, ”I'm nothing but just a man, you, on the other hand, is a titan amongst the 25 Golden Crest. With your past history, Atkins Family barking at you like a dog is not new scenery am I correct? Nothing changed”

After Rex said that, a moment of choking silence covers the room.

It's so frighteningly silent that even a hairpin dropping can be heard, Stevanus is making eye contact with Rex with his cold eyes.

Rex stands there motionless looking unbothered, but he unconsciously gulps.

When suddenly, ”HAHAHAHA”, Stevanus laughs.

He started laughing hysterically as tears came out of his eyes, he's laughing as if he just heard a joke that he found funny as hell.

This laugh startled Rex because it came out of nowhere.

Stevanus wipe the tears from his eyes while still chuckling, ”Barking like a dog? In the whole Ratmawati City, I bet that only you have the balls to call Wesley the Bad a dog”

The guards also follow Stevanus with a slight chuckle, the balls Rex has greatly amused them.

”I like this kid, I'm beginning to feel quite sad you declined Deniz's invitation to our family”, Stevanus said with an amusing smile.

He then added, ”We'll go through with the deal, you will have my word that you and your family will be protected by the Reed Family as our deal after you give me the spellbooks”

Hearing this, Rex's expression softened before he nodded his head.

Deniz signals to Rex to give the spellbooks to Stevanus,

Rex then takes out the spellbooks he kept from the inventory through his pocket, he raises the spellbooks to show the guards he has no weapons before he gave them to Stevanus.

Although the atmosphere in the room is not as tense anymore, he still needs to give Stevanus his respect lest he got killed accidentally.

After giving the three spellbooks, Stevanus checks for their authenticity.

Deniz nodded his head, he then signals to the guard before one of the guards throw two bags in front of Rex.

”The deal stated we'll give you $10 Million, and 5,000 High Elemental Stones. This is our part of the deal, we'll see each other again if fate leads us”, Stevanus said, he stands up from his seat before he disappear into thin air.

Rex looks at the bags and confirms their content.

”You should be grateful, you just befriend our Reed Family thanks to the plan you devised”, Deniz said with a smile.

But just when Deniz wanted to signal the guards to escort Rex outside, ”Deniz, can I ask you something?”

”Ask away”, Deniz replied nonchalantly.

Rex then asks, ”If it's not too much to ask, do you somehow have High Dark Stones?”
