"I'm sorry what? You're not in a position to scare me", Rex said with a slight smile.

Adhara can only glance at him teasingly and say, "Is that nervousness I sensed from you?", she walks past Rex heading towards the door.

Rex shakes his head amused by Adhara's cocky behavior,

"I'm not nervous!", Rex shouted making a smile appear on Adhara's face.

A couple of hours later, Rex was already ready with his suit that he bought with Adhara during the time they went to the hotel.

The perfectly fit black tuxedo hugs his body and he looks as formal as anyone can get.

He looked to the mirror and tidied his tie, he mumbles about something while tidying his tie as if he's preparing for a speech.

But then suddenly, the door opened as Adhara walks in.

Adhara looks at Rex in surprise before she asks, "Why are you wearing that? Did I need to dress up like you too?"

"You should because you might need to meet with Vargas", Rex replied casually.

Hearing Vargas' name makes Adhara's face darken, she remembers what he instructed last time, "No way, there's absolutely no way I'm going to meet with him"

"You're my right-hand right? Can I trust you?", Rex asks while looking at Adhara's eyes.

This caught Adhara in surprise because of the sudden change in expression, his serious expression makes Adhara shut her rambling and say, "Yes, you can trust me. But why do I have to meet with that guy?"

"You forget about yesterday's talk?", Rex asks after finally tidying his tie.

Adhara frowns trying to remember what Rex said before he continues, "We are going to make the SCO and UWO banded together at least until we get rid of the Supernaturals strongholds"

But this makes Adhara frown even harder, "And how are we going to do that?"

"It's easy, I'm going to talk to an influential person in SCO while you will be convincing Vargas to make the UWO agree to a temporary truce to fight the Supernatural", Rex added.

This news came like a bomb in Adhara's head, she still doesn't get what Rex is trying to say.

"Okay, there are two problems with that. First one, how can you talk with an influential person inside the SCO, and second, What is the odds of me convincing Vargas in doing that when the UWO is clearly hostile to the SCO", Adhara explained in frustration.

Rex chuckles hearing what Adhara said, "Are you still grumpy because you're not used to waking up this early?"

Hearing this, Adhara sigh helplessly, "Rex, I'm not joking. We can be arrested for colluding with the SCO and I'm sure it will not end well"

Rex finally sits down on the bed before he taps the place beside him signaling Adhara to sit, she then reluctantly sits on the bed.

"To answer your first question, I am a member of the SCO", Rex said truthfully.

Adhara tilts her head to the side while staring at Rex in aghast, she was at a loss for words before Rex continues, "For your second question, your odds will be higher than me because Vargas had a daughter and he lost her because of his mistakes"

This makes Adhara's gazes turn blank as she connected the dots as Rex walks out of the room leaving Adhara alone.

'It's not fair for Rosie to be the only one who knew that', Rex thought as he walk into the hall.

He then went to Clarice and asks, "Where's Kyran?"

She jumped in surprise when Rex suddenly asks her, Clarice shakes her head before suddenly Stuart answered, "Kyran is in the Geriatric Canyon"

Rex glance at Stuart before he knits his eyes, "Geriatric Canyon?"

"It's the Canyon that has just been found sir, Kyran goes there regularly and I assume that he's training", Stuart added making Rex confused.

After getting the information, Rex instructed, "Call him back right now"

Adhara got out of the room and saw Rex talking to the butler, Rex then walks towards her before she said, "I called Edward and I woke Rosie up and they will be ready shortly"



"Since when did Kyran go to the Canyon alone?", Rex asks in confusion.

He knew that he went out for a while because of the SCO's mission, but he didn't expect that Kyran develops a new habit since he left.

Adhara then replied, "Don't worry, the explored caves have already been marked and ranked based on the mutated animals inside it so it became a hunting ground for Awakened around here"

"Huh, I didn't know that", Rex said before he went inside the room again.

While waiting for the others to arrive, Rex locked the door and takes out one demon core from the inventory, and play with it in his hand.

'System, How do I use this?', Rex asks.
