Chapter 229: Confronting the Demon and Vampire (1/2)
'Did he know?!', Rex thought in horror,
The Green Messenger knows about him being an Awakened, and this might result in making the Green Messenger suspicious of him.
But Rex never really met with the Green Messenger for a while,
They only talk through letters from the crow, and hardly ever meet with each other.
'Is he following me? But Kyran should've sensed him if he decided to follow me', Rex thought with a frown, the wound on his stomach still hurting him like crazy.
While he's indulging in his thoughts, the Green Messenger looks at him with a pistol in his hand.
The black pistol emits a faint smoke from its barrel because of the shot, and the carvings on the side glow white for some reason.
It makes the carvings almost look like a rune, but it's not.
The Green Messenger walks slowly towards Rex, he then stops in front of Rex who is kneeling on one knee and points the pistol onto his head.
”What is the meaning of this?”, Rex asks while trying to remain calm.
He already thought it through and it's impossible for the Green Messenger to know that he's a Supernatural, it's just doesn't make sense.
The Green Messenger's mask's eyes glow green, and the aura he emitted is threatening.
”Are you sent here by the UWO?”, he asks coldly.
Hearing this, Rex widen his eyes before he replied confidently, ”No I'm not, I'm just asking what any human who cares for their race would”
Tension filled the lab as they both stares at each other.
Rex puts his hand on top of the wounds on his stomach to cover it from the Green Messenger's vision, the subtle steam that came out of the wounds might just put his life away.
Based on what the Green Messenger asks, it is clear that Rex worries about nothing because the Green Messenger is suspicious of him being a spy sent by the UWO.
But he's not,
”Besides during the Swear of Loyalty and the Secret Promise, you told me that you'll know if I break those oaths”, Rex added without any fear.
Looking at this, the Green Messenger chuckles, ”I know”
Hearing his chuckles, Rex sigh a sigh of relief knowing that he's off the hook.
”Are you feeling dizzy? Is there a ringing sound in your head?”, the Green Messenger asks.
Rex nodded his head before the Green Messenger's body trembles, ”Ha! That means I just completed our new gun, every SCO member will be given one after it's massed produced”
”It's also thanks to you, the Northern Black Heads tears you gave me just amplified the bullet's power by almost 2x and it gave that dizzy effect”, he added.
This news surprised Rex, he didn't expect that the Green Messenger was capable of making such a weapon that manage to hurt him.
”Here”, the Green Messenger said while tossing the black pistol and a pack of bullets.
Rex caught the pistol and the bullets in confusion, but the Green Messenger then added, ”That's for you, you'll be the first one to get that”
After saying that, Rex got dismissed from the lab.
But just before he left, ”You're fine right? that bullet is very strong but I know you have regenerative ability so you should be fine”
Heang this, Rex smiles lightly, ”Of course, It's just a gunshot”
The Green Messenger glance at the wound on Rex's stomach, Rex covers it with his hand before finally, the Green Messenger lets him go.
While he went back to the lobby, Rex still has the black pistol in his suit's pocket.
He doesn't want to risk putting the gun in his inventory yet, the building has CCTVs so it will be bad if he is caught doing that.
Upon walking outside of the office, Rex takes out his phone.
He dialed a number before his phone starts ringing, then a woman on the other side answered, ”Hello? Rex? Why are you calling me?”
”Linda, Are you busy right now?”, Rex asks.
Linda then replied playfully, ”If you're going to ask for information then I think I deserve to be treated by you, don't you think so?”
”Oh, so that's what it takes to bribe you? Since when did you become my fangirl anyway”, Rex replied with a slight chuckle, it caught him off guard that Linda read through him easily.
She then said, ”Are you kidding? A date with The Rex Silverstar? I think I can brag about that all over the university”
”Fine, Where's Vargas right now? Is he back yet or is he still in the UWO headquarters?”, Rex asks.
Now that he already got the approval from the Green Messenger, then now he needs to convince Vargas to agree with this too.
By him, Rex means Adhara.
Then, the sound of paper can be heard from the other side before Linda answered, ”He's still in the headquarter, should I tell him you're going to meet him or not?”
”You should tell him, I'll be there to talk about something”, Rex answered.
But before he can hang up, Linda stopped him and said, ”The time and place pretty boy”
Hearing this, Rex shakes his head because of her remarks.
He never thought that he will be called pretty boy by someone, ”Do you know a lot about the 25 Golden Crests?”
”I know about everything, I'm Linda”, she answered sweetly.
Rex rolled his eyes before he said, ”Fine, prepare for a nice green dress because I'm taking you to a banquet held by the 25 Golden Crest”
After saying that, Rex hung up and meet up with the others in the car.
”Alright, I got the SCO's side with me and now it is up to you Adhara”, Rex said while looking at her, this makes her nervous.
Hearing this, Edward then said, ”We're not gonna go past the fact that you're an SCO member”
Rex positioned his seat comfortably before he said, ”What about it?”
”Are you serious? The SCO is a rebel organization with the sole purpose of overthrowing UWO's authority, you can't be a member of them”, Edward said in concern.
Just from how he talks about the SCO, it is clear that their reputation is bad.
Rex then said calmly, ”No they're not, the SCO's priority is always the Supernatural”
