Chapter 225: Unseen Storm (1/2)
”I'm not a member of the 25 Golden Crest Families, Why am I invited?”, Rex said in confusion.
The content of the invitation clearly stated the place and time of the banquet and also that it's exclusively for the 25 Golden Crest, and Rex is not a part of the 25 Golden Crest.
So he doesn't get why Stevanus asks him to go.
He did made a deal with the Reed Family and become their friends, but it's still not enough reason for him to be invited to the banquet.
Ari then replied, ”I don't know the details, I'm just a messenger”
Hearing this, Rex waves his hand as Ari left the place the same way he appeared.
Rex is still frowning while looking at the invitation, 'Is Stevanus going to challenge the Atkins Family? If that's so then it makes sense for me to be there I guess'
After deliberating for a while, Rex puts the invitation in his pocket.
He called for Delta who is still bullying Ryze, she runs towards Rex and stops right in front of him with a dazed Ryze on her back.
”Alright, Ryze here will play with you so you will not get bored but put him down for now”, Rex said with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Delta licked Rex's face in delight before he shakes Ryze off of her back.
Thud!
Ryze fall from Delta's back butt first, ”Ouch!”, he groaned as he rubbed his hurting butt.
He then stands up before he runs to Rex's back in hurry fearing Delta will grab him again, but he still peeked from Rex's back shyly.
Rex knows that Ryze didn't mind playing with Delta, in fact, he too is happy.
After escorting Delta back to the building, Rex and Ryze went back to the room.
They already played with Delta for quite a bit and he needs to get back on track, 'Let's wait for the others first', Rex thought.
Arriving in the room, Ryze was shocked to find the closet is full of clothes.
He excitedly takes the clothes out and tries each of them, and he's surprised that all of the clothes are fit for him which means the clothes are his.
Not for Kyran,
Rex looks at Ryze's excited expression with a slight smile before the door beside Ryze's room opened as Rosie came out.
Rosie was stunned to see Rex, but her expression turns normal on a whim.
”How's the trip? Is fighting the demons fun?”, Rosie asks teasingly.
Rosie walks closer to Rex who is in front of Ryze's room, he then said, ”Nothing much, just realized that I'm not strong enough”
”You're not strong enough?”, Rosie said in aghast.
Her expression is pale as if she saw a ghost, the words that came out of Rex's mouth surely make her surprised every time.
Rex looks at her in confusion, she then added, ”You're the strongest here, what do you mean not strong enough?”
”Unlike you, I want to fight the Supernaturals not humans”, Rex said coldly.
Hearing this, Rosie rolled her eyes and walks past Rex.
But just as Rosie was about to leave the room, Rex suddenly remembered something, ”Rosie!”, Rex called out hurriedly.
Rosie stops on her track and turns around lazily, ”What is it?”
Rex approaches Rosie before he grabs Rosie's wrist and drags her to his room,
This caught Rosie by surprise because she didn't expect to get dragged by Rex to his room, this makes her face blush as she stands stiffly with the door on her back.
Both of them are alone in the room, and both of them clearly are not on the same page.
Rex is frowning hard trying to force out his word, while Rosie becomes even more blushed as she saw the veins on Rex's neck.
It's like Rex is holding back something, and Rosie's mind flew to the time they're on the train.
Remembering the rough kiss and Rex's forceful intimate act, Rosie's face becomes even redder as she subconsciously touches her back waist.
But just as Rosie's mind becomes even wilder, Rex then finally said, ”Do you know anything about the Lunar Eclipse?”
Hearing this, Rosie widened her eyes in confusion, ”Eh?”
”I mean, you know about the violet moon so I'm asking if you know about the Lunar Eclipse? You said that you read it in a book”, Rex added innocently.
The more Rex kept going, Rosie's expression turns darker.
”It's just that I need to know about it”, Rex added again.
But then suddenly, ”YOU JERK!!”, Rosie shouted before she opened the door and left.
Looking at this, Rex was confused.
He runs out of his room and saw Rosie was about to leave, ”Wait!! What's wrong with you”, Rex shouted as he catch Rosie's arm again.
”You just mock me before and now you want me to help you?”, said Rosie feeling annoyed.
Rex was at a loss for words because now that he think about it, what Rosie said is true, ”I'm sorry, if you don't want to tell me then just give me the book you read”
”What will I get if I tell you? Aren't YOU supposed to know more about it than me?”, Rosie asks back with a weird look.
This makes Rex stunned, but he quickly recovers, ”The terms are different, you wouldn't get it”
”Fine then, make me one of your group then I will tell you about all of it”, Rosie said while crossing her arms in front of her.
She hesitated for a moment when he saw the butler is looking at them.
But her taunting expression somehow makes Rex irritated, ”That's different, you can't just ask to join pa-”
Right, when Rex was about the say the last word,
Rosie widen her eyes signaling Rex to look at his back, and when Rex look at his back he saw the butler is looking at them from the side.
This makes Rex glare at the butler before the butler smile wryly and gets back to work.
”You can't ask for that, even if I want to I can't”, Rex answered honestly.
But Rosie thinks that it's just an excuse, ”Fine if you don't want to, then I guess I will not tell you anything about it”
After saying that, she opened the door intending to leave.
Rex was about to stop her again but then suddenly, a man can be seen standing in front of the room that caught Rex by surprise.
