Chapter 283: UWO Officials (1/2)
”What seems to be the problem?”, Rex asks calmly.
The one that called him is Vargas, it seems he just got the news that many of the reinforcements that should arrive at Eqosa City got delayed because of the Green Messenger's doing.
It's not a surprise though since Eqosa City is a great city to defend.
If Eqosa City falls to the Supernatural hand then the Supernatural will get this strong sieging city that should've been humanity's advantage.
Aside from that, It will also give a pathway to Illgate City.
Vargas on the other side then said angrily, ”Can you ask the SCO to stop blocking our way to Eqosa City, Don't hide behind the civilians like a coward!”
”Why are they fighting us openly, our main enemy is the Supernatural!”, he added.
Hearing this, Rex sigh as he already expected this much of a response from Vargas, ”Just accept the proposal Vargas. Just like you just said, Internal fighting will only benefit the Supernatural”
”I know! I already told Sebrof but he decline it immediately”, Vargas answered bitterly.
Rex was quite surprised upon hearing this, he doesn't expect that Vargas will have an open mind to accept the proposal since he's so against it as to what Adhara said.
It seems his plan to let Adhara talk to Vargas worked.
Rex then asks, ”Sebrof?”
”He's the UWO leader that sits above the High Table, the most powerful man in Ratmawati City and also the president of the UWO main branch”, Vargas explained.
This makes Rex frown, he thought convincing Vargas is enough.
But now the next problem arises, the president of presidents called Sebrof decline the proposal to band together with the SCO.
”He won't agree easily, we need to make a statement”, Vargas mumbles lightly.
Hearing this, 'It seems I still need to make a statement, but it's for Sebrof, not Vargas', Rex thought with a sigh.
He then finally said, ”Do you have an influence on the media?”
”Of course I have, the UWO has a huge power over the media companies to broadcast numerous news or even calm the people down”, Vargas replied confidently.
Rex smiles lightly before he said, ”I got a plan, I'll tell you about it later”
After saying that, Rex hang up the phone after Vargas agree to talk some more later.
”Who's calling?”, Adhara asks from the side.
The both of them have finished breakfast, they're in their room with a full stomach.
Adhara is currently in front of the makeup table putting some lotion on her face while gazing at Rex that just hang up from Vargas through the mirror's reflection.
Rex glance at Adhara, ”Vargas, the reinforcements to Eqosa City got blocked by the SCO”
”You don't seem to be surprised, is it the Green Messenger's doing?”, Adhara asks nonchalantly, she can read Rex's expression a bit.
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head with a frown.
Then suddenly, he remembered something, ”Adahra, Can you tell me about the man that got arrested that night you talk with Vargas?”
”There's nothing much to say”, Adhara replied while putting down her stuff.
She then recalls the event, ”While I wait for you guys to come to pick me up, I saw a commotion in front of the UWO office. There I saw a man that looks like he works in the UWO office getting arrested by the FAA”
”Did you hear what they're talking about?”, Rex asks again.
Adhara went silent for a moment as she tries to remember that night, she then said, ”I heard that he's being arrested because of collusion, and it definitely has something to do with the SCO because I asked the woman that accompany his arrest”
Rex was put into thoughts when he's hearing this, his eyes then landed on the crow.
The crow is looking at them intently with its hollow eyes, and after a bit of contemplation Rex finally, approach the crow and said, ”Green Messenger”
At night time, Rex and the other go down to Carabidis Temple again.
But this time, Delta didn't come since she's still being treated by the doctor. Although when Rex checked her she's already lively, it's clear that one day won't be enough for her to regain back to her full strength.
Because of that, Rex decided to leave Delta there to rest for another day.
Rex decided that they will tackle the Carabidis Temple at night since this is the time that they're the strongest, the Sand Elemental makes him more cautious than before.
It's best that they're can finish this Temple with fewer injuries than before.
After penetrating through the dark clouds, Rex and the others slid down easily as their wounds are already recovered and the sky is not raining like last time.
Rex looks around the temple and saw that it's still the same as before.
The small pyramid with the wind symbol is still shining brown light towards the temple, while the other small pyramid with the fire symbol is glowing red.
”Who's that?”, Kyran suddenly asks as he points in a direction.
Hearing this, Rex glance in the direction Kyran points at and saw a couple of figures standing in front of the small pyramid with the wind symbol.
Rex frowns upon seeing this, ”How did they know this place?”
After they reach the sandy ground, the three of them walk cautiously towards the group of people that are standing in front of the small pyramid.
There are four people to be exact,
Three of them wear armor befitting of an Awakened that comes from a guild, while the last one wears a white coat with a familiar badge on her chest. It's the UWO badge.
Not long after, the group of people notices Rex and the others' presence.
”Hey, you! How did you get here!”, one of the Awakened said while pointing at Rex.
Hearing this, the other Awakened and the UWO member looks back and saw Rex and the others are approaching them, they all frown upon looking at this.
”Stop right there!”, the other Awakened said after feeling Rex, and the others are also Awakened.
Rex and the others stopped a couple of meters away from them, they also are confused about how this group of people know this place.
After hawking each others' group cautiously, Rex then said, ”How did you know this place?”
”This is the UWO's property, we advised you three to leave this place or I will be forced to file charges on you for trespassing UWO's property”, the UWO member steps in front before she said sharply with an air of arrogance.
Hearing this, Rex frowns, 'UWO's property? Just how did they find this place'
”And you are?”, Rex points at the UWO member while raising one of his eyebrows up.
The UWO member then replied, ”I am Finna the leader of the Exploration Division of UWO Branch in Ophester City, by that authority, I advised you to leave”
”Since when did this place becomes UWO's property? We didn't see any sign that stated this place is your property”, Rex replied calmly.
But this clearly makes Finna's expression darken.
