Chapter 238: She Got Me (1/2)

”I don't need your help, Kevin already brought me-”, Evelyn said,

But before she can finish, Rex interrupts her, ”Fire Sorrel? I know, and I also know that the Fire Sorrel will not be as effective against Hannah”

”What do you mean? the Fire Sorrel is a fifth rank mutated plant and it can help enhance my armor to add some resistance to fire. It may even add almost 5% fire resistance to my armor, and believe me that is not a small number”, Evelyn added with her curious eyes.

Rex knows this information from Stuart,

He instructed him to find out about Evelyn Luc but to his surprise, Stuart gave more information than Rex expected of him.

Not only does he tell Rex that Evelyn will soon fight against Hannah, her rival, he also even told Rex about the current preparation that Hannah did in order to fight Evelyn which is shocking.

With a smile, Rex then said, ”I have something that will give around 10% fire resistance, and it can be stacked with the Fire Sorrel that you have”

Hearing this, Evelyn widened her eyes a little but they soon turns to normal.

”And what is that something?”, Evelyn asks curiously, her beautiful yet sharp eyes gazing at Rex as if she's scanning every inch of Rex's movements.

Rex then leans back on the sofa and said, ”I won't give it to you until you give me what I want”

A slight chuckle came out of Evelyn's mouth,

She then stands up from the bed and walks towards Rex slowly, her alluring figure sways left and right making Rex avert his gaze to avoid getting tempted.

But then, Rex looks back at Evelyn in shock when she suddenly sat on his lap.

Evelyn then wraps her arms around Rex's neck while still gazing at Rex, her plump and ravishing body clamps on Rex's muscular body.

She puts her hair that falls in front of her face back and exposes her irresistible collar bone.

Rex gulps harshly as Evelyn closes her face to his ear, ”You forget something”, she whispers softly.

”You still owe me one”, Evelyn added with a seductive smile.

Hearing this, Rex also smiles confidently, ”But based on your expression”, he said while caressing Evelyn's hair, ”You wanted to help me, but you don't want me taking the lead”, he added while gazing tauntingly at Evelyn's eyes.

”You did change, and yes I will tell you the information in exchange for you to do something for me”, Evelyn add while pulling Rex's head to her chest.

Knowing how Evelyn wanted to play, Rex becomes undisturbed, ”What is it?”

”Something that we can discuss after I tell you the information I got on Wesley Atkins”, Evelyn said while getting off of Rex's lap.

She then sat on the sofa beside Rex and continue, ”Tell me, What kind of person is Wesley Atkins in your opinion”

”Typical Prideful man who follows his desire and will do anything to acquire what he wants”, Rex replied while thinking back to his meeting with Wesley Atkins at the hotel.

Hearing this, Evelyn nodded her head before she added, ”You forget one thing, Lustful”

”My men once saw him in a small city far away from Ratmawati City, they said that he brought a pregnant woman into a house and never visits the woman ever again. Then, a couple of years passed and my men saw a young healthy boy with green hair coming out of the house...”, Evelyn said with a smirk.

Rex falls into thought after hearing this, he realized that Wesley has a bastard son.

'Wesley will never admit it, and although proving it is possible but it will take a long time. He probably didn't even give a shit about the boy anyway', Rex thought.

He then said, ”That's good information but not good enough”

”I'm not finished”, Evelyn replied with a smirk.

Rex looks at Evelyn questioningly and finds that she's serious,

”I know that a man like Wesley will not care about the boy, but there's something he needs to be wary about. His wife, Margaret Lola Atkins is actually Margaret Lola Burton”, Evelyn said making Rex widen his eyes in shock.

Because of his feud with Atkins and Reed Family before, Rex researched about them.

And in that research, he also saw the 25 Golden Crest Families lists and he remembers Burton Family is being one of them.

But they're not just a regular family, but the fifth rank family!

The Burton Family is the giant of giants, sitting in the fifth rank of the 25 Golden Crest.

They're led by Daniel Burton, a Wind Elementalist demigod that is known as the Arial Destroyer. Their influence and power stretch across Ratmawati City and they can take down ten Reed or Atkins Families easily like a sea engulfing a tiny rock.

Almost all of their family member is sitting at the High Table of the UWO.

Platchi Family gives all of their resources and even creates a black market to fund their eldest son to join the High Table, but the Burton Family on the other hand has multiple members of their family sitting on the High Table.

This shows how much influence and power they have, and it's terrifying.

While realizing this, Rex becomes dazed because he just found out about a major scandal.

He even questions a bit if this is all real, the news that he got simply blow his mind, 'And yet she knows this kind of scandal, what an interesting woman', Rex thought.

”Then? Even if that's true, what can a bastard daughter do when she found out about Wesley's betrayal? She doesn't have any influence in the Burton Family”, Rex asks curiously.

But then Evelyn replied cheekily, ”For that, you need to finish my request first”

Hearing this, Rex chuckles lightly.

He already expected that Evelyn will do something like this, he gazes at Evelyn in amusement.

Evelyn can feel Rex's gaze before she said, ”Did you just fall in love with me?”

”I think I might”, Rex answered.

But then, he continues, ”And on what terms should I believe you?”

”You just need to believe... or don't, the choice is yours”, Evelyn replied while sipping her drink.

Rex leans back on the sofa before he becomes suspicious of something, ”If what you're telling me is true, why didn't you just ask me to do your request first? You know I can figure it out with the information you gave”

This makes Evelyn laughs sweetly, her sweet laugh filled the room.

”Because I believe you of course”, Evelyn said before she winks sweetly.

Rex falls into his thought once again seeing Evelyn's behavior, he's deciding whether to believe her or not before finally, he said, ”Then what do you want me to do?”

After a couple of minutes, Rex walks towards the door.

While walking towards the door to leave, Rex is in his thought before he turns to his back, ”I'm curious, Why did you help me?”
