Chapter 280: You Cant Go There (1/2)

Rex burst through the dark clouds with Delta on his other hand.

He's climbing with one hand by stabbing the cliff wall with his claws, the weight of Delta's body doesn't really bother him since his strength has reached a terrifying level but her size makes it harder for her to be carried.

Upon going through the dark clouds, Rex sigh in relief as the rain has already stopped.

Although the rain has already stopped, the cliff walls are still wet and slippery but with his claws, he can't really slip that easily.

In just a few jumps, Rex manages to reach the top.

His movements are like a beast as he climbs the cliff wall, holes are left behind where he stabbed his claws marking the spot with every jump he does.

After arriving at the top, Rex dashes with all his might towards the city's direction.

Delta is still very active while he's carrying her, so Rex is not that worried about her not making it but instead he's more worried about Adhara and Kyran who he left down there.

They might be in danger this second, he doesn't know.

Meanwhile, Inside Faraday University.

Edward just got out of room 505 after giving Evelyn the items that she asks for to Rex, Evelyn accept the items he brought gracefully with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

She even asks Edward to accompany her to drink a glass of wine.

Because of the excitement in Evelyn's eyes, Edward doesn't want to ruin her mood so he accompanies her for a drink inside the room.

While they're inside the room, Edward can't help to get distracted.

It's like Evelyn doesn't know the norm of dressing with a guy inside her room.

She's only wearing a revealing nightdress that makes Edward's throat go dry, every inch of her being screams alluring.

Even Rex got tempted by her, so it's not surprising to see Edward tempted also.

His face is currently flushed after getting out of the room, even his clothes have some wet spots on them because of his sweat.

”She's very stimulating”, he mumbles while shaking her head.

For all the time he becomes a student of Faraday University, he only knows Kevin has a sister.

He never met with the Blazing Lion of Faraday University's sister.

It's clear that his experience inside the room is very tempting, to say the least, and Edward needs to scrunch his face with his hand before leaving Evelyn's room.

After leaving the place, Edward was surprised when he saw Ari intercept him.

Ari intercept him just when he was about to leave Evelyn's room hallway, and he was quite surprised to see Ari here since they part ways after arriving at the university.

”Why are you here?”, Edward asks with a slight frown.

The exchanges he had with Ari before made Edward suspicious of him, now he knows that the Reed Family has something to do with the assassin before.

This provides more reason for Edward to be cautious around Ari.

Seeing Edward's cautious behavior, Ari sigh lightly.

He then signals for Edward to get to the side of the way since there're students passing by before he said, ”You want to know why we let the assassin through?”

Edward raised one of his eyebrows questioningly while gazing intently at Ari, he wanted to know why Ari did that but he knows that he won't get it that easily.

”Then let me ask you this, Did Rex do that to you?”, he asks lightly.

Hearing this, Edward frowns as he didn't quite get what Ari means by that.

He then added, ”Your fire, and also Adhara's, Did Rex do that?”

Ari's question caught Edward off guard but he tried to keep his expression neutral, giving more reaction than he needs to will just be the same as telling Ari the answer.

”Why did you conclude that?”, Edward replied calmly.

Ari squint his eyes trying to see through Edward's expression, he then said, ”Adhara becomes stronger with him by her side, you get stronger with him by your side, and also Kyran-”

”You forget about Rosie”, Edward intervenes.

If Reed's family's guess is based on that, then Rosie can be brought up.

From the start of Rex's arrival at Ochyra University, Rosie is the first one to be by his side and she's not that strong even until today.

Hearing this, Ari stopped mid-sentence.

Both of them stare at each other probingly while keeping eye contact.

The students passing by them look at them weirdly, even the guards in front of Evelyn's room glance at them weirdly as they can feel the intensity coming from them.

After fierce eye contact, Ari finally said, ”Look, I'm trying to give you a way out. If you answer me then I'll give an information in exchange for your answer”

”What kind of information?”, Edward asks questioningly.

Ari didn't answer as he look at Edward demandingly, but this makes Edward steel his mind and decide to not tell him anything.

It's better to just tell Rex about this, the Reed Family can't be trusted.

But when he was about to refuse, ”Edward!”

A woman voice called out to him from the side,

Hearing his name getting called, Edward glance to the side and find Rosie calling out to him, and from her heavy breaths, it seems she's been running here.

”Rosie? What's wrong?”, Edward asks in confusion.

Rosie looks at Edward in delight but then her eyes landed on Ari, ”Are you guys talking about something?”, she asks after seeing the two.

She can feel the weird air around both of them, and she felt like she just interrupted something.

After getting asked by Rosie, both of them started to feel Awkward.

”I'm going to check the perimeter, goodbye”, he said before turning into a gust of wind and disappearing from the place.

Rosie was confused but then she didn't mind and look at Edward.

Edward glance at Rosie before she asks, ”Where have you been?”

”I'm just doing some quests with Rex and the others, why?”, Edward replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Rosie's eyes lit up before she asks hurriedly, ”Do you know where Rex is? I need to talk to him about something”
