Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 374: Meeting
The qi that enveloped Rexar also dissipated. He clenched his fist; the senior wanted him to bait Alex. Even though he didn't say it, it was already common sense that he wanted Alex to know nothing about this.
Usually, if people from the frontline ca in this way, it always ant bad news. Those who t with them always disappeared without a trace.
With this reputation, if possible, everyone's first reaction would be to try to escape, but the result would never end well for them. The sa fate would also fall to anyone who didn't cooperate or help their target.
'C'mon Rexar, you are not a person like that. I will do what I need as long as my family is safe. It doesn't matter what happens to ,' Rexar thought, making his decision.
He took a roundabout path, visiting the Midnight clan first. He ca toward the guard building to update his will. As people who always risked their lives daily to do their jobs, the Midnight clan had a system that allowed them to make a will.
The clan was then responsible for making sure their wealth was shared based on the will. Other clans and sects also had similar systems, as this helped in pulling in new recruits.
It was a new system that was just invented so ti ago, coming from the clan that stayed at the frontline.
As for the execution, it all depended on each of the clans. So were riddled with corruption, but for the Midnight clan, the will was always done in perfection and then announced to the public. This built up a good reputation and confidence for their employees.
And Rexar was the sa; he trusted the system would make sure his wealth was distributed as his will. To make sure it was confidential, Midnight clan used formations to automate the process of updating the will.
This reduced the risk of so of the staff becoming greedy, which would raise the risk of them stealing the item or having bad intentions.
Finished with the process, Rexar returned to the arena. "Sir Alex, may I have so of your ti?"
Alex thought it was about the bet he won from the match with Zhu Zeng, "Just keep it and make a bet again when it's my ti to fight. Although the odds will be far smaller, money is still money."
"It's not that, Sir Alex. I ran into so trouble."
Reina overheard what they discussed. Seeing how Rexar was being so indirect made her suspicious. "Just be direct, Rexar. I don't rember you being this timid."
'This is it, Rexar, you can do it,' he convinced himself. His eyes then darted around, trying to look for the senior's presence, but he failed to locate him.
In reality, Situ Chen was now watching everything from a distance with the mysterious woman.
"Do you think he will bite the bait? Based on how he acts, I think that guard will probably co clean to them."
"That's also good; his reaction will tell us what kind of outsider he is."
"There are types of them?"
"Do you think we just blindly fight all outsiders? As long as they have sentience, they will have their own desires and their own factions. We do have a few of them cooperating with us."
"I thought your family hated all outsiders the sa."
"Do you forget what happened? The betrayal?
Do you think we would hold this long by ourselves? Desperate situations need desperate asures.
If he escaped, this ans he has so ill intentions in our place."
"What if he didn't?"
"That is worse. Just like what we discussed before."
Back at Alex, his lips were now curled into a smile. He had heard everything from Rexar.
Compared to Alex, Moria and Reina were in shock now.
"I knew it; things would never be simple with you. What do you plan to do now?
Personally, I suggest you escape, but that will then implicate people in my clan, so I will not allow it," Moria said with a stern tone, but his eyes showed that he was worried.
"Let's et him together. Sir Alex is our benefactor; we cannot just let him face this by himself," Reina said, making Moria raise his eyebrow.
'I knew it; she would put herself through fire if she felt she owed soone. She is too kind.'
"You guys exaggerated too much; is it really that bad? You never know the authenticity of the rumors.
It's not like those who have business with these frontline clans will publicize it. If things were good for them, it would be better if more clans were afraid of making contact.
I believe these frontline clans will also hate getting involved with other politics. They are busy risking their lives in the frontline; they have no ti to play stupid gas."
"So you will go, Sir Alex?"
"Yes, let's go now. The earlier we finish, the better," Alex said while he stood up.
"Let go with you, Sir Alex."
"No, you cannot. If you leave, people will misunderstand. We won't go far anyway."
Reina looked toward Uncle Moria with pleading eyes. It's not that she worried sothing would happen to Alex, but she was afraid he would go missing after the eting.
With his strength, Reina believed he could take care of himself, but this would spell doom for all her plans.
"Alright, I will go with him."
Alex thought on it, then shook his head, "No, I will just go with Rexar. Don't worry, nothing big will happen."
Moria's lips twitched, "Last ti, you said the sa before fighting Zhu Zeng. Now, see what happened? Soone from the frontline ca looking for you."
Alex chuckled, "Alright, you watch from a distance then. Don't get involved."
Moria nodded. The trio then walked toward the restaurant. Seeing Alex, the waiter quickly showed him the private room.
Inside were Situ Chen and the mysterious woman.
"Rexar, you wait outside the door," Alex ordered. He thought his presence here was unneeded, as for Moria he was waiting nearby.
