‘What with these kids!’, the man holding a shotgun thought in surprise.
He saw how Rex easily killed one of his comrades as if it was nothing, it completely shocked him to his core.
Rex’s speed also shocked him, it makes him steps back unconsciously.
The man holding a shotgun is also a Wind Elementalist, but even so, he’s still shocked by Rex’s speed that even he can’t clearly see.
As a Wind Elementalist, he has an Elemental Advantage in speed.
Out of all the basic elements or even great elements, the element that evolved from the wind element will mostly excel in speed.
It is a nightmare for a Wind Elementalist to meet an opponent that is faster than them.
Adhara’s body glows with purple fire, her eyes also turn into purple flame as the fire mana gathers into her hands.
SWOOSH!!
Her hands shot flames as it burns the ground in a straight line, it splits the mercenary in two.
The purple flame split the mercenary three to three,
Adhara can fight two early ranks four Awakened while Kyran will fight one, she’s confident with her new power.
Both Adhara and Kyran instantly started their fight.
The three mercenaries got attacked by Adhara and Kyran making them unable to do anything except to fight back.
Adhara and Kyran completely focus on their fight, they didn’t even concern for Rex on the other side fighting a mid-rank four Awakened.
On the other side, Rex is looking at the three Awakened in front of him with a mocking smile.
“So, Before we start I want to ask you guys a question. Are you guys sent by the Platchi’s?”, Rex asks, he already knows it must be the Platchi but he just wants them to admit it.
He looks at the man holding a shotgun with a grin, Rex is completely relaxed.
The man holding a shotgun step back unconsciously, he then shouted, “How the hell did kids like you reach rank four! That’s just not possible!”
He’s completely shocked by Rex’s power, he can feel Rex’s threatening aura leaking.
It’s logical for the man to be shocked by Rex’s feat, only a handful of teens in Rex’s age manage to reach rank four nevertheless toyed a mid-rank four.
Without even answering, Rex dashes towards a guy on his right.
The guy didn’t have the chance to react before he died instantly.
Rex punched the guy right on his stomach while imbuing his fist with Force, his fist pierced through the guy’s stomach.
The guy’s body breaks like butter, it didn’t give any resistance as Rex’s fist pierced it.
Seeing this, the man holding a shotgun and another guy beside him went pale in fright. Rex killed one of them again easily.
Blood paints the ashy ground in red, the blood also stains Rex’s face.
Rex’s nasty grin decorated with the mercenary’s blood greatly frightens them, it’s like looking at the messenger of death that will deliver them straight to the underworld.
Without pausing, Rex’s fists glow with a white hue.
“Force Beam!”
SWOOSH!!
A white beam shot out from Rex’s fists aiming at the man holding a shotgun, it’s like a white bullet threatening the man’s life.
The man jumped up avoiding the Force Beam before it crashed into a car and sending it flying away.
But then, Rex suddenly appeared right on the man’s back like a ghost.
He wanted to end the fight quickly but then suddenly,
BAM!!
The man shot his shotgun unnaturally hitting Rex’s chest, which makes him flung crashing to the abandoned building on his back.
Rex becomes annoyed, ‘How did he do that? It’s starting to get annoying’, he thought.
Every time Rex came towards the man, he always got shot right on his chest as if it’s an automatic feature of the shotgun.
He tried to surprise the other mercenary earlier and the same thing happened.
But now, even when he uses Flash Spell to dash to the man holding a shotgun he still got shot.
‘There’s something helping him, if it’s the shotgun then the mercenary before shouldn’t have been able to detect me because their weapons are different’, Rex thought.
He then scans the surroundings and to his surprise, he found something.
There’s a mutated bird on the building’s third floor looking at Rex with its red eyes.
The mutated bird is hunchback weirdly, it is body is covered by black furs, its nape is long, its beak is black and sharp, and also its wing spans wider than an adult human’s length,
Rex looks at the bird, ‘That must be it’
But then suddenly, the other mercenary arrives beside Rex and punches him with its fiery fist.
Rex intentionally takes the hit, he positioned his body so that he will be pushed towards the blackbird.
BAM!
Seeing Rex got hit directly, the mercenaries smile but their smile didn’t last long.
Their eyes widened in horror when Rex suddenly gripped the bird’s neck, “Found it”, Rex grins as he snapped the bird’s neck.
It struggles to break free before it died.
The man holding a shotgun roared in anger, he becomes crazed as soon as Rex killed the blackbird.
He dashes towards Rex but Rex punched him back down.
BAM!!
The man crashed to the ground making the ground trembles as a web-like crack appeared, the man spat a mouthful of blood as he can feel his bones broke.
His comrade on the side tried to help but seeing Rex’s eyes makes his legs turn to jelly.
Rex activates his Alpha Intimidation skill making the guy pale in fright, Rex’s eyes make him saw the dark red aura of a Werewolf that manages to suppressed him heavily.
Under the dark red aura, the guy can’t move an inch.
Rex walks leisurely towards the man lying on the ground, he then steps on the man’s chest before he presses it.
“Akhh!!”, the man groans in pain.
“Goodbye!”
CRACK!!
Rex stomped the man’s chest creating a gaping hole in it, the man dies with regret of taking on the mission to kill Rex.
If he knows Rex is this powerful, even if he’s promised a huge sum of money he won’t do it in thousands of lifetimes.
Rex’s eyes then glance at the remaining mercenary, ‘Let’s wrap it up’,
He then approaches the guy before he grabs the guy’s face intending to crushed the guy’s skull but then, the guy pulls his face back making Rex’s nail grazed him.
Rex looks at his hands and saw a brown substance on them.
He frowns before he looks at the guy and to his surprise, the guy’s face is a mess.
The brown substance is in fact a disguise on the guy’s face as a skin mask, his real face can be seen a bit because Rex messed up his skin mask.
The guy crawls back in fear as Rex tears the mask off of his face.
When Rex saw the guy’s face, Rex was immediately shocked, ‘This…I feel like I’ve seen him before’, Rex thought.
The guy’s face is familiar to Rex, he tried to remember where he has seen it.
After a moment, he finally remembered, ‘Isn’t he one of the Sullivan? I remember seeing his face’, Rex thought.
In his spare time, Rex read the report he got from the Fire Band Market.
The report stated all of the members of the Sullivans Family starting from the direct line family to the non-direct line family, it is so detailed that even their relatives and people they know is listed there.
Rex saw this guy’s face in the non-direct line family.
‘What do we have here, I found a spy from the Sullivans Family. Is this mercenary sent by the Sullivan or the Platchi’, Rex thought with a frown.
Seeing a disguised Sullivan’s member here, Rex becomes uncertain of were these mercenaries came from.
He approaches the guy and said, “I believe you’re Hadwin from the Sullivan family, am I right?”
Hearing Rex knows his name, Hadwin looks at Rex with a disbelieving look as he replied, “How do you know my name?”
Without even answering, “Who sent you guys?”
Rex activates his Alpha Intimidation skill making Hadwin whimper in fright, he then answered, “We’re sent by the Platchi Family!”
Seeing Rex killed them easily makes Hadwin really scared of Rex.
It’s not even an exaggeration if from today onwards Hadwin won’t belittle teens, Rex greatly scarred him to his core.
‘Platchi Family? Then why did this a Sullivan member here?’, Rex thought in confusion.
“Then why are you here? Explain yourself!”, Rex asks while releasing his pressuring aura, the black lightning blitz making the guy suffocate.
Hadwin is still reluctant of answering so Rex has to take a different approach.
“Claire Hale, I believe she’s your mother right?”, Rex said sinisterly, the report from the Fireband Market becomes useful for this moment.
Hearing his mother’s name got called, Hadwin widened his eyes in surprise.
He looks at Rex who is smiling playfully, “Now tell me why are you here, tell me everything”
After some heavy internal conflict, Hadwin finally opened his mouth.
Hadwin told Rex that he’s sent by the Sullivan to investigate all of the illegal things the Platchi do in the hope they can find a hole that can make the Platchi come crashing down.
He found many illegal things the Platchi did but he’s still on the lookout.
Then yesterday, one of the Platchi’s members Leon decided to hire a mercenary to kill Rex before he decided to sneak into the team.
Hadwin thought that it’s a good thing if he can find out about Rex too.
But he regrets it deeply, if he can turn back time then he will not join these mercenaries and just leave with the information he had.
‘So he’s a spy from the Sullivan to find loopholes in the Platchi’s activity’, Rex thought.
“Have you reported back to the Sullivan yet?”, Rex asks Hadwin.
Hearing this, Hadwin wanted to say yes but Rex’s piercing eyes make him hesitate.
A flash of his mother’s smiling face crosses his head before he sighs, “No I haven’t, I’m the only spy that manages to contact the Platchi. Sullivan Family didn’t even know if I’m still alive”
Rex smiles after hearing Hadwin’s confession, he then covers his mouth.
He then said, “If you said you found many things about the Platchi’s illegal things, then you surely know about the Fireband Market right?”
Hearing this, Hadwin widened his eyes in surprise.
He can’t believe a teen like Rex can find out about the Fireband Market that even he himself went through a hard time to find out about it.
Realizing Hadwin’s change in expression, Rex grins.
“Tell me all of the locations of the Fireband Market you know, and I will let you leave”, Rex said demandingly.
Getting hope from Rex’s words that said he will be free, Hadwin then tells Rex all the things about the Fireband Market location that he found.
He didn’t spare any detail to Rex.
Not long after, Adhara and Kyran got back from their fight.
They both manage to kill three early rank four.
It’s mainly Adhara’s doing, Kyran only manages to stall the one Awakened hoping Adhara can finish off the two other Awakened.
Both of them look at Rex talking to one of the Mercenary.
They both got curious about Rex’s conversation because Rex’s face is serious, but then Rex suddenly turns his nails into claws before he slashed Hadwin’s neck.
Kyran looks away, he wanted to ask Rex why but he can’t do it.
He knows that these people wanted to kill them so killing them is not a crime, he knows that it’s dumb to let the people that want to kill them go.
“What are you talking about?”, Adhara asks Rex who is cleaning the blood on his face.
Rex stands up before he walk past Adhara and Kyran heading to the car, “Nothing to worry about”, Rex said with a mysterious smile.
