Chapter 246: Accepting and Becoming Reliable (1/2)
”Tell me who she is, or you won't see 5:31”, Rex said with a low tone.
Rex's heavy tone indicates that he's serious about what he said, there's no remorse on his face, only anger can be seen clearly on his face.
Hearing this, Clarice's body trembled even more.
Her shoulders, her mouth, her hands, and even her legs are shaking greatly.
As if she's in a low-temperature place, her body trembles uncontrollably but rather than the low temperature, this was caused by the invisible pressure around her throat.
There's a predator in front of her, and it's going to kill her.
BAM!
”Hah!”, Clarice jumped in shock.
Rex punched the wall right beside her face as his body crack with black lightning.
Because of the rune, Rex put inside this room specifically, none of his elemental aura leaked out of the room so he's free to do whatever he pleases.
Adhara slowly opened her eyes hearing the banging sound.
She wakes up on the bed and look in the sound direction and found Rex there with Clarice backed up against the wall.
The fear on her face can be seen from miles away.
”Don't think I won't dare to kill you here, all I will get is only a scold from the university while you will die here meaninglessly”, Rex said coldly.
This makes Clarice's legs weak in fright,
Adhara who saw this scene from the side approached them.
She wanted to ask why Rex is doing this but Rex's expression frightens her, it's the same expression Rex used during the Yule Moon or any other time that he's very angry.
The words that were about to come out stuck on Adhara's throat.
Rex then glance at his phone again before he whispers, ”The clock is ticking”
After getting cornered by Rex, and getting overwhelmed by the fear of dying.
Clarice finally said, ”I-I'll t-tell you, f-forgive me”, she stutters as tears rolled down her eyes feeling that the death god is stroking her back.
Hearing this, Rex looks at her signaling to explain.
”S-she threatened me by kidnapping my niece, I'm sorry”, Clarice said shakily.
Rex frowns upon hearing this before he asks, ”Who sent her here? and Why is she here?”
”I- I don't know...”, Clarice said meekly.
BAM!!
Once again Rex punched the wall beside her creating a crack on the wall, he was fuming in anger waiting for Clarice to tell him the truth.
Clarice slid down the wall in fright,
In a fit of anger, Rex glared at Clarice before he grab her neck roughly and lifts her up.
”TELL ME!!”, Rex shouted angrily as he squeezed her neck brutally.
Looking at this, Adhara steps forwards and held Rex's right arm that was about to snap Clarice's neck softly, ”Calm down, let her talk. She will talk”, she said trying to calm Rex down.
Rex kept squeezing Clarice's neck angrily as her face turns red gasping for air.
After a moment, Rex finally let Clarice go as she fall to the ground while holding her neck.
Cough! Cough!
Clarice coughed a couple of times as saliva dripped from her mouth,
From that experience alone, Clarice realized that Rex is not joking about killing her and if not for Adhara she might just die right there.
Adhara then rubs Clarice's back lightly and said, ”Stop hiding it and just tell him”
Although Adhara doesn't know what is going on, she roughly knows that Rex wanted Clarice to tell him something but Clarice is not being open.
Hearing this, Clarice then said strugglingly, ”S-She only tell m-me to bring her here”
Her voice is hoarse because of Rex almost crushing her neck, ”Who is she?”, Rex asks sharply.
Clarice then crawls towards Rex's feet and puts her head on Rex's feet while saying repeatedly, ”Forgive me Sir, Rex! That's all I know I swear!”
”That's all I know...”
”Please...”
”Please...”
Looking at Clarice begging for his life, Rex scoffs lightly.
The one thing that he despised the most are people that try to endanger those close to him, he won't forgive such an act and he definitely won't trust that person ever again.
Rex then squats down before grabbing Clarice's hair and pulling it back.
”You said they kidnap your niece right?”, Rex whispers coldly.
He then added angrily, ”When I kill that maid, I will rescue your niece from their hands and bring her back to you”
Clarice's expression turns soft hearing this, but it didn't last long.
”Then, I will kill your niece right in front of you”, Rex said brutally before he let go of her hair roughly as she started to sob.
She then starts pleading, ”Please sir Rex, I won't do it again... Please!!”
But Rex didn't want to hear all of it as he exit the room,
Clarice's cries got dimmed after he closed the door again, while Adhara is standing frozen in place while looking at Clarice's sorry state.
After getting out of his room, Rex glance at his surrounding.
Stuart can be seen standing on the side idly before giving a smile towards him,
Rex then looks around again trying to find Kyran to no avail, he can't find him anywhere making him frown in concern, ”Where is Kyran?”, Rex asks Stuart.
”He's inside his room with the new maid”, Stuart replied politely.
Hearing this, Rex went towards Kyran's room hurriedly fearing that something might've happened to him.
But upon entering the room, Rex widened his eyes in shock.
Inside Kyran's room, he saw the new maid is strapped on a chair weakly as her body is bathed with her own blood.
The blood creates a puddle around the chair, and her face is very bruised.
Rex didn't expect to see this scene at all, he even got worried for a moment knowing that Kyran is inside the room with this new maid.
