Chapter 171: First and Last Warning (2/2)
Rex then snuggle closer to Adhara trying to find some warmth,
But upon touching Adhara's body, there's a sharp cold pain that strikes Rex's body part that touches Adhara's body.
It makes Rex jolted as he creates a distance with Adhara,
Adhara's body also jolted, ”Ouch!”, she groans in pain.
She opened her eyes and rubs the source of the pain while looking at Rex, ”What is that?”
”It's the next Full Moon, this is the effect it has on Werewolves”, Rex said with a sigh, he really hates this full moon.
'Damn it, this must be the worst full-moon', Rex thought before he go to the other room and sleep there, it will be better for both of them.
The next morning,
Rex opened his eyes before he walks outside his room,
His body felt drained and the cold air still lingers in the air, it feels like a hungover where every part of his body felt drained.
Going out of his room, Rex was suddenly greeted by one of his miad.
It was Clarice, ”Sir, there's a man called Ari who wishes to meet you in front”, she said meekly.
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head before he went out to meet with Ari.
Rex goes outside and meets Ari who looks completely normal, he frowns before he said, ”Where were you? I told you to keep a lookout”
”My apologies Sir, just a rat problem”, Ari said assuringly.
Hearing this, ”Is it the Platchi Family?”
”Yes Sir, they sent a guy to find your whereabouts but I already dealt with them”, Ari said, he said that as if it's an easy thing to do.
Rex then said, ”I should've dealt with them sooner, I thought that they will not bother me for quite some time but who would've thought they're rushing to die”
After saying that, Rex wanted to go back to his room but stopped when he heard what Ari said.
”It's okay Sir, I guarantee you that they won't bother you anymore”, Ari said with a meaningful look.
Rex turns to his back with a frown, 'Huh? Did they killed Duncan?'

Last night, After the call,
Ari went to the guy that just ask Rex's location to Prof. Nolan, he stalks the guy who seems to go back to the Platchi Family's mansion.
The night was cold, and the guy tidied his coat's collar to block the coldness.
But when he's about to make a turn, he got goosebumps as he felt something approaching him from the back fast.
Before he can do anything,
BAM!
His head got hit by something from the back making him bouncing away, the hit was heavy and his head started to bleed because of it.
Ari appeared in front of the guy with a cold look,
The guy grabs his bleeding head before he looks to the front,
Looking at Ari's cold eyes, the guy widened his eyes in shock, ”Ari? What are you doing? I'm from the Platchi Family! We're Allies!”
Without even answering, Ari said, ”Sir Stevanus said that your family's contribution has dwindled in these days, was it because of Duncan's oldest son trying to get into the High Table”
”Yes, but it will only be temporary”, the guy said hurriedly.
Ari then asks, ”Why are you searching for Rex Silverstar? What business do you have with him?”
”Rex Silverstar killed Sir Duncan's son Lucas, it will only be natural to take revenge on him”, the guy explained.
He then added, ”With the help of the Reed Family, we can kill Rex easily. Can you help us?”
The guy said this with a hopeful expression,
In his mind, the Reed Family will definitely help them because this is not a small matter and they are both allies with each other.
'If Reed Family joins in, Rex will be dead!', the guy thought sinisterly.
But Ari's reply makes his train of thought stops abruptly,
”Rex Silverstar is under the Reed Family's protection, hurt him and you will be the enemy of the whole Reed Family”, Ari said fiercely.
”Eh?”, the guy was greatly shocked that even he thought that his ears stopped working.
He can't believe what he has just heard, ”There must be somekind of mistake, there's no way we're talking about the same guy!”
Ari scoffs before he slashed the guy's head cleanly with a wind sword.
The wind sword beheaded the guy instantly without any resistance, the guy didn't even know how he died before his head got cut off.
After killing the guy, Ari takes the head and vanished.
A couple of minutes later, Ari arrived at the Platchi Family's mansion with a bloodied head in his right hand.
He walks to the mansion with confident steps,
All of the guards there recognize Ari, it seems it's not the first time he's there.
Not long, Duncan got out of his mansion with a frown.
He doesn't expect to have any visitors in this hour, especially someone from the Reed Family.
”Ari? Why are you barging in here? Although you're from the Reed Family, I will not tolerate such behavior in my mansion”, Duncan said in anger.
It's late in the night, and someone barging in will certainly piss any man.
Ari raise the bloodied head in front of him and said, ”Rex Silverstar is under the Reed Family's protection, do this again and the Reed Family will make sure to flattened your mansion and your family”
Hearing this, Duncan was at a loss for words.
The news came as a shock to him, it arrive just after he decided to do anything to kill Rex.
But if that anything involves the Reed Family, he becomes hesitant because not just him but his family will also die.
The night started to rain,
The rain came as if it's mocking Duncan that thought he will prevail against Rex, it also acts as a symbol of consequence if he tries to defy the Reed Family.
Death will be the only consequence,
Ari then throws the bloodied head in front of Duncan,
”Consider this the first and the last warning, Sir Duncan”, he said before he left the mansion under everyone's gaze.
