"I don't need your help, Kevin already brought -", Evelyn said,
But before she can finish, Rex interrupts her, "Fire Sorrel? I know, and I also know that the Fire Sorrel will not be as effective against Hannah"
"What do you an? the Fire Sorrel is a fifth rank mutated plant and it can help enhance my armor to add so resistance to fire. It may even add almost 5% fire resistance to my armor, and believe that is not a small number", Evelyn added with her curious eyes.
Rex knows this information from Stuart,
He instructed him to find out about Evelyn Luc but to his surprise, Stuart gave more information than Rex expected of him.
Not only does he tell Rex that Evelyn will soon fight against Hannah, her rival, he also even told Rex about the current preparation that Hannah did in order to fight Evelyn which is shocking.
With a smile, Rex then said, "I have sothing that will give around 10% fire resistance, and it can be stacked with the Fire Sorrel that you have"
Hearing this, Evelyn widened her eyes a little but they soon turns to normal.
"And what is that sothing?", Evelyn asks curiously, her beautiful yet sharp eyes gazing at Rex as if she's scanning every inch of Rex's movents.
Rex then leans back on the sofa and said, "I won't give it to you until you give what I want"
A slight chuckle ca out of Evelyn's mouth,
She then stands up from the bed and walks towards Rex slowly, her alluring figure sways left and right making Rex avert his gaze to avoid getting tempted.
But then, Rex looks back at Evelyn in shock when she suddenly sat on his lap.
Evelyn then wraps her arms around Rex's neck while still gazing at Rex, her plump and ravishing body clamps on Rex's muscular body.
She puts her hair that falls in front of her face back and exposes her irresistible collar bone.
Rex gulps harshly as Evelyn closes her face to his ear, "You forget sothing", she whispers softly.
"You still owe one", Evelyn added with a seductive smile.
Hearing this, Rex also smiles confidently, "But based on your expression", he said while caressing Evelyn's hair, "You wanted to help , but you don't want taking the lead", he added while gazing tauntingly at Evelyn's eyes.
"You did change, and yes I will tell you the information in exchange for you to do sothing for ", Evelyn add while pulling Rex's head to her chest.
Knowing how Evelyn wanted to play, Rex becos undisturbed, "What is it?"
"Sothing that we can discuss after I tell you the information I got on Wesley Atkins", Evelyn said while getting off of Rex's lap.
She then sat on the sofa beside Rex and continue, "Tell , What kind of person is Wesley Atkins in your opinion"
"Typical Prideful man who follows his desire and will do anything to acquire what he wants", Rex replied while thinking back to his eting with Wesley Atkins at the hotel.
Hearing this, Evelyn nodded her head before she added, "You forget one thing, Lustful"
"My n once saw him in a small city far away from Ratmawati City, they said that he brought a pregnant woman into a house and never visits the woman ever again. Then, a couple of years passed and my n saw a young healthy boy with green hair coming out of the house...", Evelyn said with a smirk.
Rex falls into thought after hearing this, he realized that Wesley has a bastard son.
'Wesley will never admit it, and although proving it is possible but it will take a long ti. He probably didn't even give a shit about the boy anyway', Rex thought.
He then said, "That's good information but not good enough"
"I'm not finished", Evelyn replied with a smirk.
Rex looks at Evelyn questioningly and finds that she's serious,
"I know that a man like Wesley will not care about the boy, but there's sothing he needs to be wary about. His wife, Margaret Lola Atkins is actually Margaret Lola Burton", Evelyn said making Rex widen his eyes in shock.
Because of his feud with Atkins and Reed Family before, Rex researched about them.
And in that research, he also saw the 25 Golden Crest Families lists and he rembers Burton Family is being one of them.
But they're not just a regular family, but the fifth rank family!
The Burton Family is the giant of giants, sitting in the fifth rank of the 25 Golden Crest.
They're led by Daniel Burton, a Wind Elentalist demigod that is known as the Arial Destroyer. Their influence and power stretch across Ratmawati City and they can take down ten Reed or Atkins Families easily like a sea engulfing a tiny rock.
Almost all of their family mber is sitting at the High Table of the UWO.
Platchi Family gives all of their resources and even creates a black market to fund their eldest son to join the High Table, but the Burton Family on the other hand has multiple mbers of their family sitting on the High Table.
This shows how much influence and power they have, and it's terrifying.
While realizing this, Rex becos dazed because he just found out about a major scandal.
He even questions a bit if this is all real, the news that he got simply blow his mind, 'And yet she knows this kind of scandal, what an interesting woman', Rex thought.
"Then? Even if that's true, what can a bastard daughter do when she found out about Wesley's betrayal? She doesn't have any influence in the Burton Family", Rex asks curiously.
But then Evelyn replied cheekily, "For that, you need to finish my request first"
Hearing this, Rex chuckles lightly.
He already expected that Evelyn will do sothing like this, he gazes at Evelyn in amusent.
Evelyn can feel Rex's gaze before she said, "Did you just fall in love with ?"
"I think I might", Rex answered.
But then, he continues, "And on what terms should I believe you?"
"You just need to believe... or don't, the choice is yours", Evelyn replied while sipping her drink.
Rex leans back on the sofa before he becos suspicious of sothing, "If what you're telling is true, why didn't you just ask to do your request first? You know I can figure it out with the information you gave"
This makes Evelyn laughs sweetly, her sweet laugh filled the room.
"Because I believe you of course", Evelyn said before she winks sweetly.
Rex falls into his thought once again seeing Evelyn's behavior, he's deciding whether to believe her or not before finally, he said, "Then what do you want to do?"
~
After a couple of minutes, Rex walks towards the door.
While walking towards the door to leave, Rex is in his thought before he turns to his back, "I'm curious, Why did you help ?"
"You didn't even ask what I'm going to do with the information, and you definitely know what I brought you into", Rex asks in confusion.
Evelyn who just takes off her clothes revealing her sexy lingerie glance at Rex briefly.
But even though she's exposing so much skin right now, Rex didn't mind it as his mind is occupied by the current things.
She walks towards Rex before she caresses Rex's face, "I can feel that you're different Rex, you will be soone in the future and I'm just making a connection with you so my family won't be on your bad side"
Rex was stunned for a mont before he nodded his head.
"And also, you don't want to be on my bad side", Evelyn whispers to Rex's ear before she stretches her hand towards Rex.
Seeing this, Rex frown before he realized what she wants.
Rex bought Sey-Anki Tattoo from the shop which is a lower rank version of Sakht Tattoo for 4,000 gold, it gives 8% fire resistance upon activation.
He then grabs Evelyn's hand before he put the tattoo on her wrist.
A red scarlet fire symbol got engraved on her skin, and Evelyn can only feel a slight sting from it.
Evelyn looks at the tattoo in marvel before a smile crept on her face, she then push Rex outside the room and closed the door.
The guards glance at their back and see Rex get pushed outside.
Rex kept looking at the door with a 505 sign on it with a smile, 'This woman...', he thought before he turns to his back and head back to his room.
While walking towards his room, Rex is thinking about his eting with Evelyn.
'Ambrosia Cloud, and Grisly Mist Bear's Heart', Rex thought, that is the items Evelyn wanted in exchange for the information she gives.
But Rex smiles evilly, 'Too bad for her, the banquet is tomorrow and even if I don't know the relevance of the information surely Wesley knows it well', he thought.
Rex didn't intend to do what Evelyn requested, he got too many things going on right now.
Upon nearing his room, Rex saw Ari is standing in front of his room.
Ari widen his eyes when he saw Rex approaching before he walks towards Rex.
"Ari? What seems to be the problem?", Rex asks, Ari never ca to his room except when there's an ergency of so sort.
Ari then said, "I got news about the banquet, the banquet is postponed until further notice"
Hearing this, Rex frowns and asks, "Why did the banquet got postponed? What happened?"
"The Supernatural is attacking Putland and Eqosa City, they're going to pinch Ilgate City in between and seize one of the biggest Elental Stones suppliers. The demons stronghold added with the succubus are attacking Putland City, while the Vampires and Undead are attacking Eqosa City", Ari explained with a dark expression.
With the Great Barricade breached, the Supernatural has a stronghold for their army.
They can supply and reinforce their army easily with that access point, and now they're starting to aim strategic cities of Humanity to further dwindle us.
Hearing this, Rex also frowns upon noticing the dire situation they're in.
'We need to cut off one of their entry points, but I'm not strong enough', Rex thought with a sigh.
"What are the UWO plans for this attack?", Rex asks.
Ari thought for a second before he said, "The UWO decided to intercept this attack but they can't deploy the eighth or ninth rank Awakened, they need to keep track of the Kings and Queens movents"
'That makes sense', Rex thought.
If sohow the Kings or Queens of the Supernatural manage to move freely then the impact will be catastrophic, they can destroy multiple cities easily.
After saying that, Rex dismissed Ari before he went into his room.
Rex went inside his room and find Adhara is surprisingly lying on the bed, she usually trains in the training ground but it seems she's relaxing today.
"You're not training, I'm surprised", Rex said teasingly.
Hearing this, Adhara pouted knowing that Rex is teasing her before she replied, "I'm taking the day off one ti, don't start scolding "
Rex chuckles lightly before he went to the bathroom to wash his face.
He turned on the sink before he takes a scoop of water and splash it on his face,
Splash!
Rex did it a couple of tis before he stroked his face harshly in thought, 'It will be a good statent if I worked with him and cut off the Supernatural stronghold, but I'm still not strong enough'
'I still need to convince him, and also give ti for Edward and Kyran',
But while he's thinking, Rex suddenly rembered the conversation he had with Ari before.
'The banquet is postponed, doesn't that an...', Rex thought before a ridiculing smile appear on his face, he splash water on his face once again after realizing sothing.
Evelyn's wink appears on Rex's head, 'So that's why... she knows that the banquet is postponed from the start', Rex thought in realization.
Because the banquet is postponed, this ans that Rex will et with Wesley later.
With the Hans situation, Rex can feel that the Atkins Family will do sothing at the banquet and Stevanus is acting suspiciously by inviting him to this banquet.
That is why Rex asks for information about Atkins, but he didn't try to find dirt about the Reed Family because he doesn't have enough reason to do so.
It will be bad if he makes a wrong move,
If he also asks for Reed Family's information, it will sever their friendly ties if Stevanus didn't plan on doing anything to him and those close to him from the start.
But now that the banquet is postponed, Evelyn can freely tell Wesley about their eting.
She knows that Rex can use the information she gave, but telling the Atkins Family about their eting will give Wesley a reason to turn this cold war into open war.
He can also make plans to counter Rex's information, that is why the elent of surprise has to be on Rex's side and Evelyn knows it.
Wesley might bla Evelyn but surely she can deny it without any poof.
Rex then will be hunted by Wesley Atkins and possibly Daniel Burton,
He will need to be wary of getting attacked by the Atkins, and he will surely die instantly if Daniel Burton got mixed into them.
This ans that there's a ticking clock on Rex's back to finish what Evelyn wanted, and if he didn't do it then Evelyn will just simply tell Wesley.
Rex shakes his head with a smile, 'Evelyn Luc... You really got this ti', he thought.
