Chapter 225: Unseen Storm (2/2)
From a glance, Rex realizes that it is Kevin.
”Kevin? What are you doing here?”, Rex asks in surprise.
He then continues, ”Are you missing the room you used to live in? If so then I can let you reminisce inside”, Rex said jokingly.
This makes the veins on Kevin's forehead bulge, ”You just really have to be an asshole huh?”
”Then don't just suddenly appear in front of my room, are you trying to pick a fight with me? Oh wait you can't beat me, Do you want to challenge Adhara instead?”, Rex said with a smile.
But before Kevin was about to rebut back,
Rosie intervenes them, ”I'm sorry Rex but it's not always about you, he's here to meet me”
Hearing this, Rex frowns, ”What? When did you guys become this close?”
”It's not your business and it's definitely not your business”, Kevin said playfully, the triumph smile on his face makes Rex's blood boil.
After saying that, Rosie walk past Rex and went with Kevin.
Rex's face becomes red as he saw both of them side by side, he somewhat feel a slight sting in his chest seeing them both walk together.
”Well Rex, nice meeting you”, Kevin said with a triumphant smirk.
Rex then replied back with the same smirk, ”Nice meeting you Kevin, be on your way then I need to go ask your sister something”
”What?! Don't drag my sister on this”, Kevin said hatefully before they both left.
While Rosie kept walking away, there's a smile on her face as she left the place under Rex's gaze.
But after Rosie and Kevin left, Rex suddenly remember something, 'I should've asked Kevin about the banquet', Rex thought, he forgot about that.
He then sigh before he got back inside the room.
Night came, Rex is currently training in the quiet room alone.
After saving Adhara's father from the demons, he now can get back to his training.
'I need to get stronger faster, the Supernatural is closing in and I need to at least reach the eighth rank as soon as possible', Rex thought.
He's currently doing the technique Chandler taught,
Based on how efficient his training currently is, it can be clearly seen that Rex is using the Learning Pill from the system's shop.
Lightning mana gathers ten meters in front of Rex, and it turns into a lightning strike.
BLITZ!
Unlike last time, Rex can bend the lightning strike at a forty-five degrees angle before it hits the ceiling which he never managed before.
It's clear that he's making progress, 'So, Which one to go'
'Caribidis Temple, Tree Blessing, or the Sky Temple', Rex thought while training.
Because of his lack of power, two mission from the system is still sitting idly because of how hard the quest is for him.
He once went to the Caribidis Temple, and the creature there has sixth rank power.
Although he can fight with an early sixth rank creature with his Werewolf Form, he still can't fight a mid-sixth rank creature.
That is why he needs to advance his rank to the sixth rank,
But Chandler still refuse to tell him how to advance to the sixth rank, he told Rex that he will not tell it until Rex can master the technique.
He can try to finish the Spirit Blessin quest but with the current condition now, with the strongholds of the Supernatural, it will not be easy to go to their territory anymore.
That leaves Rex with the decision to go to Caribids Temple, or the Sky Temple.
'I don't know what that lady wanted telling me to go to the Sky Temple, but I'm sure it can wait', Rex thought.
While he's thinking, Adhara suddenly came inside the quiet room.
She closes the door behind her and gazes at Rex with an unexplainable look, and this makes Rex stop his training.
After taking a deep breath, Adhara approach Rex slowly.
”What's wrong Adhara? Are you done going out with your father?”, Rex asks with a smile.
But Adhara kept walking towards him without answering him, and when she arrived in front of Rex with a quick motion she instantly kissed right on Rex's lips.
This caught Rex off guard, but the tears on Adhara's face makes him soften.
It's clear that Adhara is very concerned about her father, and knowing that her father is saved must've been such a relief.
Rex then replies to Adhara's kiss as they both make out passionately.

In a restaurant somewhere in Ratmawati City,
Two men are sitting across each other while eating, there are three guards behind both of them that emit a powerful aura showing that they're a high-ranking Awakened.
Both of them are eating quietly, and after ten minutes they finished their dish.
The man on the right side rubs his mouth with a napkin elegantly, while the man on the left also did the same but their leaking aura clashes against each other.
It's clear that they're not exactly friendly with each other,
”Whatever you say now, I won't believe you until you can prove it”, the man on the right said.
The man on the right has a gaping hole in his hand, and his gaze is calm as water as he stares at the man in front of him.
Hearing this, the man on the left then replied, ”The evidence is right in front of you, but you still denied the connection that can be clearly seen”
”What you said is a heavy accusation to a student, you're just angry that he sides with me”, the man on the right said mockingly.
The room becomes even more choking as both men gaze at each other.
The man on the left then replied, ”You're just denying what can be clearly seen, I thought you're wiser than me”
”What if you're wrong? he's an asset to humanity”, the man on the right replied harshly.
An intense silence covers the both of them again, and the man on the left finally said, ”I'm also concerned about the Supernatural strongholds, but this kid might be the key used by the Supernatural to get to us”
The man then stands up before he added, ”We'll prove it to you at the banquet, and make sure to see what unfold with an open mind”
After saying that, the man on the left walks away leaving the room.
