Chapter 485 Addressing Matters



She saw the icy cold look on Rex\'s face just like an iceberg that froze his emotions.

The fact that Rosie is dead because of saving him definitely brings a sense of guilt, but more than that it also brings the feeling of helplessness. It\'s something far stronger especially for Rex knowing his backstory.

Without a doubt, the powerful emotions got the better of Rex.

It was so powerful that it beats the feeling of sadness that he felt from the fact that Rosie is dead, and subconsciously Adhara clenched her fists. She looks at the bed and feels that Rex is getting further and further away.

Adhara knows that if this keeps on she will lose the side of Rex that can still be called human.

Her eyes then flash with determination, \'I won\'t let that happen, whatever you\'re going through you\'re not going to become distant from humanity\', she thought before turning to leave the master bedroom.

Meanwhile, Rex got out of the master bedroom and went to the first floor.

While descending the stairs he saw Kyran stand up from the sofa upon looking at him, "How did last night go? Did anything bad happen during your rescue mission with Gistella?"

"Nothing, in particular. We managed to rescue Delta and the survivors"

"There are no Vampires when we\'re there for some reason, it\'s completely empty so we didn\'t meet any real problem. We already put the survivors in Eqosa City to be taken care of, and Delta is already healed by a seventh rank healer Awakened that specifically tasked to tending wounds in sector 2"

Hearing this, Rex nodded his head in confirmation before stopping in front of Kyran.

Looking at Kyran who seems to still have something to say to him, Rex then asks, "What is it, Kyran? Did you still have something you want to say to me?"

"Yeah... a couple of things actually", he replied.

A short moment later, Kyran guides Rex to the back garden heading to the small house.

Ryze is in the house still having problems containing Zaddrass, but upon arriving in front of the door into the house Rex then frowns, "Now that you brought me here, I haven\'t checked on Ryze"

"Is there something wrong with him?", he asks remembering Ryze\'s transformation.

Hearing this, Kyran nodded his head, "Yes, I\'ve heard from Edward that Ryze is having a problem containing the dragon inside of him that keep on bothering him. But before that, I need you to look at something"

Kyran then guides Rex to the side of the small house.

There\'s a door on the side of the small house that looks to be a small warehouse, Rex sensed a dormant aura behind the door which shows that there\'s someone inside, "Who is in there?"

"An infiltrator, a mole. Tandu remembered all the faces of the guarding Awakened"

"He\'s not one of them"

After saying that, Kyran opens the door exposing a half-dead man tied to a wooden chair in the middle of the room. His face is disfigured from the beatings and blood covered his entire body.

Rex walks inside the room followed by Kyran before he closes the door.

Taking another wooden chair on the side, Rex sat in front of the man before crossing his arms in front of him. Upon seeing Rex, the man widened his eyes in horror but he can\'t say anything because his mouth is covered by dark energy which should be Kyran\'s doing.

Signaling to Kyran with his hand, Kyran then takes away the dark energy from the man\'s mouth.

"S-Sir Rex, Please! Please hear what I have to say", the man immediately said after Kyran takes away the dark energy, his speech is a little bit hard to understand since some of his teeth are missing and his lips are bruised.

Hearing this, Rex kept looking at the man without muttering any words.

In spite of fear, the man then continues, "I\'m sent here by-"

Before the man can even finish what he was about o say, Rex already intervenes him without a change in his expression, "Hester family, you\'re sent here by the Hester family"

"H-How do you..."

"I assume the message I gave before is already spread to the other families, the top ten families wouldn\'t want to provoke me enough by sending a mole and declaring war against me. So that leaves us to the top three families..."

"Macias and Burton Family are out of the equation, so that leaves the Hester Family"

Rex said with his eyes glistening fiercely, the dimly lit room gave quite a setting for his eyes to glow red terrifyingly which scares the man. His sharpness is truly very terrifying.

Not only does he\'s sharp, but he\'s very young for a head family.

The man gulps harshly as he thought that it was just a stroke of luck for Rex to beat Wesley Atkins and reaches here, but it seems all of that is due to his wit. His eyes that are gazing at the man seem to be able to see through everything.

Giving a moment pause, Rex then asks, "Now, what does the Hester family want from this?"

"L-Lady Hester is trying to make contact with you so he sends me here, attracting your attention needs a little more effort than just reaching out to you. That is all Lady Hester wanted, just a chance to create ties with you", he explained stutteringly trying his best to construct words that doesn\'t offend Rex in any way.

Looking at Kyran who is standing silently beside Rex, the man feels his body turns cold.

It\'s because of the chilling cold dark mana around his body.

Hearing this, Rex kept looking at the man with his cold glowing red eyes silently thinking. \'Well, I do need to handle the demand from Sebrof. But I\'m at a disadvantage if I meet her now...\'

Raising his gaze, he then finally said, "My people will contact your family"

"The time and place will be determined by us if the Hester Family wants to make ties with our family, but of course, if Lady Hester is unwilling there is no problem. But the next time she did something like this again, I will see that as a threat to my family"

After saying that, Rex stands up and leaves while Kyran unties the man.

With the matter with the infiltrator from the Hester Family finished, Rex then instantly went inside the small house and finds Ryze lying on the bed with his body steaming and burning. It\'s like he\'s on a pan with blazing fire beneath him.

Rex covered his body with a black lightning aura before he steps inside the small house.

Upon hearing the footsteps approaching him, Ryze slowly opens his eyes and finds Rex standing just beside the bed with a tender look. It\'s clear that Ryze is suffering.

"Rex...", Ryze mutters weakly.

Hearing this, Rex didn\'t reply and just touch Ryze\'s forehead before scanning with the system.

<Scanning...>

<Zaddrass\' soul is still lingering despite its body having been devoured by Ryze, this speck of soul is very powerful and it still has Zadrass\' consciousness. Until Zadrass\' speck of soul is disintegrated or overpowered, Ryze will be in this state>

\'How do I disintegrate or overpower Zadrass\' soul?\'

<Disintegration of a heavenly dragon\'s soul can only be done by Origin-level power, overpowering the soul on the other hand is probable by making Ryze\'s soul stronger to the point that Zaddrass can\'t do anything to him>

While frowning, Rex looks at Ryze who lies on the bed weakly.

But then a notification from the system suddenly appears once again.

<Upon overpowering Zaddrass\' soul, Ryze\'s soul will be tremendously stronger. He will be able to harness the heavenly dragon\'s power bringing him near as strong as Zaddrass Lord of the Red at its peak>

Rex\'s eyes lit up, the system basically said that Ryze will be very powerful.

Having a more powerful ally will greatly help him in this kind of time of uncertainty, so he puts helping Ryze overcome Zaddrass as one of his top priorities. If he turns out to have a seventh rank or even eighth rank power then everything will be easier.

Power is the answer to everything, with enough power he will not need to be troubled by many.

<Sudden Quest!>

Obtaining a powerful ally is much needed in dire times, Ryze has the potential to become a powerful ally for the user! Feed sufficient souls to Ryze until his soul overpower and erase what is left of Zaddrass Lord of the Red.

Quest Reward: 3,000,000,000 Exp, Heavenly Dragon Soul, 10 Skill Upgrade

A moment later,

Rex got out of the small house after talking to Ryze for a bit telling him that he\'s going to be fine and finding out how to make Ryze\'s soul stronger, he now was about to head out to meet with Rosie\'s parents. The big event of the day.

Something big that can\'t help but make him sigh in stress.

But when he was just about to head out, Rex saw Adhara is already waiting for him in the back garden. She stood up when she saw him finish checking Ryze\'s condition.

"Are you going to see me leave?", Rex walks towards her and asks nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Adhara shakes her head firmly before she replied back surprising Rex, "I\'m coming with you, no matter what you\'re going to do I\'m going with you"

"Where does this come from? You should focus on getting stronger", Rex replied.

Adhara looks at Rex stubbornly showing that she insists on going with him, and this somewhat surprised him to see such a light in her eyes, "Alright, fine. Why do you want to come anyway, it\'s mainly getting cursed by innocent parents that got their daughter killed because of me"

"There, right there! The way you rephrase it like that... I\'m definitely coming with you"

Rex didn\'t reply and just walks inside the mansion before heading out, and Adhara is really following him from behind. But Rex didn\'t complain and just went straight for the front entrance.

Upon seeing Rex get out, the Awakened guarding the mansion bowed.

One of the Awakened then brought Rex a car key before he takes it and went to a luxurious black sedan parked on the side, but just as he and Adhara were about to get inside Tandu stopped them.

"Rex!", Tandu called while running towards him.

Hearing this, Rex turns his body in his direction, "How was the Disaster Squad going? Have you guys reached the fifth rank yet?", he asks to open a light conversation and an update on their squad.

Tandu then pulls up his shirt showing a green rune on his muscular stomach that indicated he\'s already reached the fifth rank realm, it\'s quite fast but then again everything is available for him here.

After showing that, Tandu then said, "There are two people from the Reed and Platchi"

"They want to meet you saying about a report that you asked for, should I let them in right now or told them that now is not a good time?", he added seeing Rex is about to leave somewhere.

Briefly thinking, Rex then replied, "Bring them in and told them to report everything to Kyran"

"Yes, sir!", Tandu replied before Rex and Adhara went inside the car.

Inside the car, Rex saw Adhara is already putting on her seatbelt without a worry in the world, "Are you really going to come with me? It\'ll probably not take long", he asks once again just in case.

Seeing Adhara only gives him a look, Rex started the car before he drove away.

Meanwhile, Vampire Kingdom.

"R-Royal Black Prince...?", King Solomon mutters in shock before he sits back down on his throne in disbelief, he just heard the report from Queen Shanaela and Calidora that are kneeling in front of the throne.

Queen Nezera saw the shock in King Solomon\'s face that made her even more surprised.

Although truthfully she doesn\'t really know about this Royal Black Price, she expects King Solomon to know something about it. But judging from his expression, it seems even King Solomon doesn\'t know about this.

Her eyes then shifted to Queen Shanaela, "How do you know about this Royal Black Prince?"

"I do not mean this to offend the Vampires but as you may be aware, the Elves have an even longer history than the Vampires or even the Werewolves. Our Elders like to document the history of the world in a book that we call Sacred Omni Book"

"The Sacred Omni Book can\'t be opened since the...", Queen Shanaela looks up and saw King Solomon and Queen Nezera looking at her sharply.

Skipping that part, Queen Shanela then continues, "My grandfather can open the Sacred Omni Book and he also likes to tell stories from the early Radical Era, I\'ve remembered him telling about the Royal Black Prince of the Werewolves that has the potential to even surpass the Werewolf Origin himself by being accepted by all of the full moons"

"I was young back then and I thought it was a myth... a mere bedtime story"

"But I was wrong, the Royal Black Prince is real. He just exist way before us, during the early times of the Radical Era just when the Origins of the Supernatural gained their powers"

Hearing this, the King and Queen pair\'s expression becomes even darker.

King Solomon hides his face with his hand trying to hide the clear concern on his face, he then shifted his eyes to Queen Nezera, "Prepare for the arrangements for the sacrifice, I will need to talk to the Elders about this"

"Send a messenger to King Saruth, I also need to have a meeting with him"

Although there are many things she\'s asking inside her head about what King Solomon said, Queen Nezera didn\'t asks questions for now and just nodded her head and stood up. She descends down the throne gracefully passing Calidora and Queen Shanaela.

Both of them are curious as to where Queen Nezera is going.

But King Solomon\'s voice attracts their attention back, "Shanela, we have matters to discuss but we will do it later. For now, leave the throne room", he said commandingly.

Queen Shanaela bowed silently before leaving the room.

The only one left in the throne room is King Solomon and Calidora.

Calidora looks up to her father that is looking down at him with a stoic expression, he then commanded, "You knew the Royal Black Prince is heading to the Delarosa Family territory, but you didn\'t tell me...?"

With an icy voice, King Solomon\'s sharp gaze forces Calidora\'s head to bow down.

"I didn\'t know that he\'s a Royal Bl-"

"Silence!"

King Solomon stood up with his overbearing blood energy exploded turning the entire throne room red, his mighty roar is filled with clear anger. For his own daughter to be this disobedient and result in an entire Royal Family being wiped out, it\'s something foolish that he didn\'t expect comes from his own flesh and blood.

With her father\'s aura pressing down on her, Calidora can only prostrate on the ground.

After a moment of glaring down at Calidora while suppressing the anger within, King Solomon then sat back down before he massages his forehead, "You will go on a campaign, Blood Devourer needs blood and you haven\'t fed it. Don\'t disappoint me again"

The last part is emphasized clearly showing clearly that if she disappoints him again, there will be huge consequences waiting for her.

"Leave now and prepare yourself", Kin Solomon finally dismissed Calidora.

Calidora stood up slowly before giving a deep bow and left, but while she was heading for the door she heard King Solomon mutters to himself, "I wish I had a son instead of a daughter, what a tragedy..."
