Chapter 242: Knowing The Truth (1/2)

”He asks for a handshake suspiciously, and I think that's when he did it”, Edward said before coughing weakly a couple of times.

Rex looks at Edward in confusion, ”How can you fall for that?”

”I got caught off guard, cut me some slack”, Edward replied with a  wry smile.

Hearing this, Rex sigh before he bought an elixir from the shop before he pours it all over Edward's rotten arm.

Edward looks up to the ceiling while grunting a couple of times.

”What is that?”, Edward asks.

Rex's hand glows with lightning mana as he focuses his attention on Edward's arm, ”It's Mana Essence Elixir, the worm's favorite snack”

The system already told Rex how to take out the worm for 200 gold.

Basically, the worm likes to eat mana but the Mana Essence Elixir is a treat that is way tempting for the worm than actual mana because of its purified state.

”We just need to wait for it to come....out!”

Just while Rex said that the pinky-sized mutated worm pluck its head through Edward's skin before Rex quickly pull it out.

Scrii!

Rex held the worm between his fingers before he squeezed it.

<Killed a Fifth Rank Mutated Insect, Obtained 300,000 Exp>

The system gave Rex a notification after killing the worm, and right after that Edward's expression becomes lighter as the pain in his arm is gone.

”Feeling better?”, Rex asks with a slight chuckle.

Edward's pale skin started to look better before he replied teasingly, ”Man you have a talent in becoming a doctor, Why don't you try to be one?”

”Not a chance”, Rex replied back before he gets up.

He then continues, ”Since you're going to get better, we're going somewhere in two days. Make sure you're ready to go and fight”

”You're ruthless as ever”, Edward said while turning his body around.

Looking at this, Rex chuckle lightly before he bid goodbye and left.

After checking on Edward, Rex went straight back to his room to tell Adhara and Kyran that they will be going out to do something.

'Should I split the team in two? It will be faster that way', Rex thought.

While walking in the university hall, Rex is thinking about whether he should split into two teams to finish the tasks he had faster.

Currently, Rex needs to fulfill Evelyn's request and finish his Carabidis Temple quest.

The items that Evelyn wanted is in Lountain City, Evelyn already provided Rex with the location of the city.

Lountain City is a level three city located in the east of Ratmawati City,

It is a city near a mountain called Bleak Everson Hills that is known for always raining, the desolate plain surroundings are covered by mist, and the clouds that are always covered the sky is the reason why the mountain is named Bleak.

The mountain is filled with mutated animals and insects from small bugs to big mutated mountain cats.

Although the place is filled with mutated animals, the city doesn't have a problem living there because they're protected by a sixth rank Awakened that was born in that place.

Evelyn wanted him to take two items,

Grisly Mist Bear is a fifth rank mutated animal that lives in a group of five, he needs to kill one of them to get their heart but the problem is not their heart but the Ambrosia Cloud.

This is a magical item that was created from a place with a dense mist.

Lountain City is a perfect place to search for this Ambrosia Cloud, but it is not a guarantee to get it even with such a perfect place to search.

While Rex is thinking, he unconsciously arrived in front of his room.

Rex walked inside before he suddenly saw Adhara and Kyran sitting on the sofa beside the entrance, they seem to be talking but they stopped when Rex got in.

”Adhara, Kyran, We'll go somewhere in two days so be prepared”, Rex said.

He then wanted to go back to his room but Adhara suddenly called,

Rex glances at both of them in question before Adhara signals to sit, ”I wanted to talk to you about something, Do you have a moment?”

”Sure”, Rex said before he sat on the sofa.

Rex looks at both of them trying to decipher what's this all about.

Under Rex's gaze, Kyran averted his gaze somewhere else feeling nervous.

Adhara sigh, she can see that Kyran is very nervous as he fidgets his fingers, ”Kyran met Hans today in the canyon”, she said.

Hearing this, Rex widened his eyes as he was about to get mad.

But Adhara intervenes, ”Listen to me first”

Rex's attention landed on Adhara as he frowns, ”What is this really about?”

”Hans is suspicious about Kyran's source of strength, they researched his past and find that Kyran is not as strong as he is right now”, Adhara explained.

She then continues, ”Kyran didn't give Hans any information, but he also becomes curious”

Rex massages his forehead while listening to Adhara, he already knows where this conversation is going and he doesn't think Kyran is ready for the truth.

But then suddenly, Rex frowns upon hearing what Adhara is about to say.

”Just trust Kyran, he's a grown man right now and he should know about it”, Adhara added.

Rex looks at Adhara and Kyran back and forth in confusion, ”Trust Kyran? I always trust him from the start and I never doubted him”

Hearing this, Kyran widened his eyes in shock.

Both Adhara and Kyran look at each other in surprise, they didn't expect Rex's answer.

”Then why don't you just tell him?”, Adhara asks.

Rex sigh before he looks at Kyran right in the eyes, ”Kyran, How did your sisters die?”

Kyran was confused about what his sister had to do with the current problem, he glance at Adhara and found that she's also confused.

”My little sister got trapped in a house by the Supernatural, then my older sister tried to save my little sister recklessly before both of them died. I can only watch both of them die as I turn around to flee”, Kyran replied as his expression turns cold.

Looking at his change in expression from nervousness, Rex sigh knowing that he is still not ready.

”You see? He's not ready”, Rex said while glancing at Adhara.

Adhara frown upon hearing this,

Rex then wanted to get up and leave but Kyran stopped him, ”How am I not ready? What is the purpose of asking about my sisters?”

Seeing Kyran's resolute look, Rex sigh.

”Butlers and Maids, take the rest of the day off”, Rex shouted.

Hearing Rex's command, the butlers and the maids stopped what they're doing and bowed their heads before they all left the room.

The big room becomes empty, only the three of them are left,

”What would you do if you go back in time to when your sisters died?”, Rex then asks.

Kyran then instantly answer without thinking, ”I'm going to kill the Supernatural of course, I will save my sisters and prevent their death”
