"Stop looking at the dancer old man, rember your age", Rex suddenly said while sipping his drink, he leans on a buffet table right beside Vargas.
Hearing this, Vargas choked on his drink as he heard Rex's nasty remarks.
He even coughs a couple of tis making Rex chuckle as he asks with an innocent look, "What are you doing here? How did you get invited?"
"Stop pretending you don't know, Linda probably already told you", Rex replied calmly.
Since Rex decided to bring Linda to the Banquet to accompany him, there's no chance that Linda didn't tell sothing like this to her boss, Vargas.
Linda who is standing beside Rex can only smile wryly,
Based on her expression, Rex knows that what he thought was true and Linda already told Vargas.
After saying that, Rex glance to the side seeing a man that just talked with Vargas.
The man is standing straight like an arrow wearing a maroon tuxedo, his white hair and beard are styled well as they portray his age, and this man has an aura so sharp even amongst the room full of high-rank Awakened like this place.
It's clear that he's no ordinary man,
The man that just talked with Vargas casually before Rex approached him, Rex already sowhat guessed who it is, "Is that Sebrof that you just talked to?"
"President Sebrof, Yes", Vargas said while signaling to Rex to be polite.
Rex cursed his mouth since he forgot that he was in a room where many of these Awakened can stomp him easily, he then glances at Sebrof and finds that Sebrof is glancing at him sharply.
It makes his body jolted upon seeing this,
Sebrof is the most powerful man in the whole Ratmawati City! For Rex to address him so casually makes Rex realize his mistake, Sebrof's aura is crushingly powerful even when he's not openly showing it to Rex.
Rex smiled politely while raising his glass,
Although he tries to look natural, the cold sweat on his forehead and hand shows otherwise before Sebrof turns his gaze away with a scoff.
With Seborf turning his head away, Rex can finally breathe.
Looking at this, Vargas pulls Rex further from Sebrof before he said, "Are you crazy? President Sebrof is not in a good mood so you should be careful with your words"
"I'm sorry", Rex apologized since the words just slipped out of his mouth.
Vargas sighed after scrunching his face, thankfully Sebrof didn't pursue this matter which can lead to a troubleso problem for Rex.
He then asks, "So, What do you want to tell ?"
"The statent is done, you can et up with John Webster in the city of your choice. They will bring him there, and then you can continue to broadcast through the dia as planned", Rex said making a smile appear on Vargas's face.
A few hours ago before Rex went to this banquet,
The Green ssenger has already inford Rex through the crow that his attack is finished successfully, two of the Vampires' food storage has been destroyed completely.
With this, the plan to force Sebrof has reached the end stage,
Vargas then mumbles happily, "So that's why so of the Vampires retreated back from Eqosa City, turns out they manage to do it"
After nodding his head a couple of tis, Vargas finally said, "Any City near Eqosa City will do"
"Alright, I'll inform them to bring John Webster", Rex replied, with this Sebrof will definitely sign the temporary alliance between the SCO and the UWO.
But Rex can't help to think how would Sebrof do the alliance,
There's a high chance that Sebrof will ally with the SCO with the condition that their alliance will be kept a secret, and that will definitely upset the SCO.
Rex was surprised to see the system's notification,
The full moon breathing technique he bought is a Supre Grade, it is the highest grade of a breathing technique and because of that Rex's expectation is high for this day.
"Hmm...", Rex exhales roughly as he can feel the energy getting absorbed into his body.
Even every ti he exhales, his breathing turns slightly red but thankfully the red color is so faint that others can hardly see them.
'This is nice...', Rex thought as he look at the palm of his hand.
The symbol that he drew with the red chalk is glowing faintly as Rex's body automatically absorbs the Lunar Eclipse energy, Rex doesn't feel a thing except for feeling more refreshed than before.
Unlike the full moon breathing technique that he used before during the Dark Moon,
This one is a Supre Grade so there's no painful feeling like during the Dark Moon. With every breath that Rex takes, his body also absorbs the Lunar Eclipse energy just like breathing air.
"I'll inform the dia, tomorrow afternoon the news should already be broadcasted", Vargas said.
He then signals for Linda to follow him before she nodded her head, "I'm going to handle the matter with Vargas, don't get into trouble alright", Linda said before she follows Vargas.
Rex then nodded his head nonchalantly,
Vargas left while dialing soone on his phone followed by Linda who's consulting him, Rex was left alone beside the buffet table.
After a mont, he decided to look at the buffet table.
Rex takes a chocolate cupcake on the table before he takes a bite, 'Oh yeah, Is Adhara okay?', Rex thought as he looks back to the table where Adhara is sitting at.
At the far corner, Rex saw Adhara sitting while playing with her phone.
There's no indication of her feeling the Full Moon that is shining above, it's clear that what the system said about the Lunar Eclipse is a Selfish Moon must be true.
Rex can feel his body trembling upon the full moon,
He can already feel slight trouble in maintaining his form, it was different than during the Yule Moon or the Violet Moon.
It forced Rex to steady his breathing while holding the edge of the buffet table,
After collecting himself to maintain his form, Rex looks back to Adhara's seat intending to go back since Daniel is still occupied.
But then, he noticed sothing,
'Is that Hans?', Rex thought as he saw Hans walking towards Adhara.
There are two glasses in his hand but when Rex scans the glass, his eyes widen as he imdiately rushes towards Adhara.
anwhile,
Adhara is playing with her phone,
She's currently looking at her balance account with a happy expression, the money that she got from Daniel reached the 8 digit mark and this is the most money that she possesses at a ti in her entire life.
"I can't wait to surprise Rex", Adhara mumbles happily.
But then suddenly, she sensed that soone is approaching her as she glance at her back before her expression turns stiff upon seeing the man walking towards her.
Adhara stands up from her seat warily and said, "What are you doing here?"
"That's cold, I'm just offering you a peace drink for today", Hans replied with an unreadable smile, he looks genuine but Adhara sure hell doesn't trust him.
She then said, "What did you put in there?"
"Poison?"
"Drugs?"
Because she's dealing with Hans, it's clear that he has so motive in approaching her.
Hearing this, Hans pretends to touch his chest feeling hurt by Adhara's words, "That hurts, It's only a drink you don't have to drink it if you don't trust ", he said while handing the glass.
Adhara hesitated for a mont before she stretches out her hand to take the glass,
Upon seeing Adhara's hand reaching out for the glass, the smile on Hans' face started to grow wider but when her hand was about to touch the glass,
Grab!
"Hans! It's been a long ti, I haven't seen you in a while", a voice suddenly interrupted them.
Hearing this voice, Hans frowns as the glass that he was about to give to Adhara got taken by Rex who is smiling at him from the side.
Rex holds the glass with a wide smile and said, "I heard you visited recently"
"I'm sad that you co to Faraday University but you didn't visit , Don't you think that's quite cold of you?", he added sarcastically.
This makes Hans grit his teeth, "Excuse "
Without even answering Rex's sarcastic question, Hans excuses himself as he tries to walk away from the scene but Rex was not about to let him go that easily.
Rex grab Hans' shoulder stopping him on his track,
"Where are you going so soon? You didn't answer my question", Rex said demandingly.
But with a bit of anger, Hans grabbed Rex's hand that is holding his shoulder, "Let go of , Rex. I'm not going to ask twice", he said threateningly.
When Hans was about to twist Rex's hand,
Crack!
Rex suddenly put more pressure onto his grip completely shocking Hans,
Hans tries to pull Rex's hand away from his shoulder only to find out that he can't, he looks at Rex with a shocked expression as he thought in surprise, 'Didn't he just reach the sixth rank...?'
'Why can't I make him let go', Hans thought as he kept trying to pull Rex's hand away.
But Rex's grip was like a powerful death grip as Rex's face darkened, this made Hans start to sweat since he didn't expect that he can't move Rex's hand from his shoulder.
"Rrrghh!", Hans grunted feeling his collar bone was about to break.
After holding him for a mont, Rex finally let go as the smile on his face returned as he stares at Hans innocently while Hans rubs his throbbing shoulder.
He looks at Rex weirdly for a mont before he reluctantly left,
"How did you manage to do that? Hans should be a higher rank Awakened than you", Adhara suddenly said from the back.
Hearing this, Rex looks back with a stiff expression.
Without saying any words, Rex just looked up but Adhara completely understand it.
But she felt weird though since she doesn't feel any moonlight energy, she can hardly believe that this night is the night of a Full Moon.
With the Full Moon shining high up in the sky,
Rex's stats have been doubled because of this, the system notification even told Rex that the increase amounted to 150%, 20% higher than his normal increase.
While Rex is trying to sit down, Adhara can see that Rex is moving weirdly,
Looking at Rex's stiff expression with veins starting to bulge on his neck, Adhara looks down and finds that Rex's hand is steaming with his veins starting to turn black.
Rex hurriedly puts the glass Hans gave on the table before he said, "Silver..."
"What?!", Adhara exclaid upon realizing that Hans just handed a Silver glass, it doesn't make sense since Hans shouldn't know that they're Werewolves.
