Chapter 228: Convincing the SCO (2/2)
Under the Green Messenger's gaze, Rex straighten his back and said, ”The energy came from an insectoid creature that is clearly a cursed creature, and it helped me fight the blue demons and left me after the demons are killed”
Hearing this, the Green Messenger nodded his head.
”What happened after the creature left?”, the Green Messenger asks before he goes back to constructing the black gun.
Rex recalled that night before he replied, ”Then two powerful Awakened that just wiped the blue demons in Benrith City came to Beah City”
”Then wouldn't that mean the creature left after sensing the Awakened?”, the Green Messenger asks while lifting the black pistol and inspecting it.
With what being said, Rex just realizes that maybe the creature did leave because of them.
'But why did they help me kill the demons then? Any cursed creature should've attacked any living being without differentiation but that creature helped me', Rex thought.
Looking at Rex's confused expression, the Green Messenger waves his hand.
He wanted to dismiss Rex but Rex stayed on his spot, ”Sir, I actually come here for another matter that I think I need to discuss it with you”
Hearing this, the Green Messenger signal for him to talk.
”You know about the Supernatural that manages to breach the Great Barricade, the riots, and also the AoL. Humanity needs to stand together to fend off the Supernatural, at least to get rid of the strongholds”, Rex explained while inspecting the Green Messenger's movement.
But then, ”No we can't, I appreciate your advice now you can leave”, the Green Messenger said nonchalantly making Rex stunned on his spot.
”But the Supernatural is knocking on our doorsteps, I thought that the SCO wanted to beat the Supernaturals”, Rex said in confusion.
All this time he knew that the SCO hates the Supernatural more than the Awakened.
If the SCO's motive was to bring down the Awakened, then Rex should've been tasked to become a spy of some sort for them.
But he never got any of tasks of that kind,
He only got missions to deal with the Supernatural, so the priority is obvious for the SCO.
Hearing this, the Green Messenger puts down the black gun and shakes his head.
He then slowly turns his back and faces towards Rex, the mask covers the Green Messenger's face and Rex didn't know what kind of expression is under that mask.
After a deep breath, the Green Messenger said, ”It's not that we don't want to, but this conflict happened because it's what they want”
”Do you mean?”, Rex said with a frown,
The Green Messenger then said with a scoff, ”Yes! UWO is the one who doesn't want to band together because of their holier than thou motto”
This news makes Rex widen his eyes in shock.
Based on what he remembers, the SCO's reputation is very bad, and almost every Awakened bad-mouthed them because of every news that came up about them.
But who would've thought that the UWO is the one creating the conflict in the first place.
'Although he looks believable, he can still lie about this too', Rex thought before he sigh.
He then said, ”What if I can convince the UWO to band together to get rid of the strongholds? Will the SCO accept it too?”
Hearing this, the Green Messenger looked at Rex unmoving.
Both of them stares at each other for a moment before the Green Messenger said, ”Even if I want to, the king will not want to do it after what they did”
Rex approaches the Green Messenger with steady steps,
”We're at war, the Supernatural find a way to use other races' spell and they're getting stronger while we get further separated. If we can't band together then the Supernatural will be the one on top, not the UWO and not the SCO”, Rex said seriously.
Liliya already reported back to the Green Messenger, and she definitely told him about the findings of the Vampires in Qrila City.
So the Green Messenger is aware of that.
The strongholds of the Supernatural will get stronger with each passing day.
If the strongholds didn't get dispatched earlier, then it's the same as letting the Supernatural devise another plan to invade further into human territory.
And Rex realized that which is why he decided to act.
Both of them went back to staring at each other in silence, the determination in Rex's face can be clearly seen.
He already resolved himself and he won't back down.
”Fine, I'll talk to the king about what you said so make sure you manage to convince the UWO about this agreement”, the Green Messenger finally said.
Hering this, Rex's expression turns softer as he tries to hide his delight.
He then said, ”You made the right choice sir”
”Don't get happy yet, I have a feeling that the king will request you do something in order for him to accept your proposal”, the Green Messenger said while taking the black gun.
Rex nodded his head because it's still the realm of his expectation.
But then suddenly,
BAM!
The Green Messenger suddenly fired the black gun he just finished constructing, it was sudden and it caught Rex off guard.
Rex stumbles as he held his stomach that got shot,
He looks down and saw the glistering silver bullet pierced his stomach, and a transparent substance leaked out of the bullet.
<Direct Contact With Silver! The user's stats have been decreased by 40%!>
<The user will suffer immense pain>
<Regenerative Ability is blocked until removing the Silver!>
A couple of notifications appeared in front of Rex's eyes as he fall to one knee, his head is feeling dizzy and the pain makes his veins bulge.
Rex looks back at the Green Messenger in confusion,
But the Green Messenger only looks at him a couple of meters away blankly, as Rex puts his finger in the wound on his stomach and takes out the Silver Bullet.
He ignores the painful sting upon touching the Silver Bullet as he takes the bullet out.
Cling! Cling!
The Silver Bullet falls to the ground making a clinging sound, Rex then looks back at the Green Messenger in horror, 'Did he know?!'
