—————
After researching what they can find on the internet about the three families, Rex and Adhara went out of the library.
The principal of Faraday University agrees upon giving them a favor.
While Rex is expecting to hear from him soon, the principal suddenly asks them to meet him in person because he already got the answer.
This greatly shocks Rex and Adhara, it was too easy for him to find this kind of information.
Rex and the principal agree to meet at a six-star hotel restaurant near Ochyra University, it’s the Amethyst hotel that is the people’s favorite hotel.
The hotel not only gives service to normal people but can also accommodate Awakened, they are also known for accommodating celebrities because of their high-end services.
In short, the Amethyst Hotel is a well-known hotel in this sector.
Rex and Adhara arrive at the hotel, tidied their clothes, and walks out of their car.
Rex is wearing a black tuxedo that Adhara forced him to buy a couple of hours ago for this meeting, it perfectly hugs his body inching his muscular posture, he also wears cologne that adds to his masculinity.
Adhara, on the other hand, is wearing an O neck red dress that teases the eyes for its scenery, the dress also exposes a gist of her long slender legs, and is added with red high heels to match Rex’s height.
Her hair is tied to a bun, her silky white neck is bare boosting her beauty.
She wears natural makeup with dashing red lipstick to match her dress, many eyes laid on her as soon as she walks out of the car.
Rex glance around before he held Adhara’s waist and walk towards the entrance.
The hotel is full of luxurious cars and high-end people, it’s really a hotel for successful people whether they are an Awakened or not.
“Excuse me, I’m here for a room booked by Vargas Pierce”, Rex said to the receptionist.
Rex got messaged by the principal the name of the room booked by, he doesn’t know who Vargas is but he just follows the Principal’s instruction.
Hearing the name, the receptionist instantly bowed and lead Rex and Adhara.
The hotel is dominated by the color of white, grey, and black.
It brings a classy feeling to the design of the hotel, the floor is made of grey marble, and the walls are white and decorated by unique lighting that is pleasant to see.
Rex is lead to a room in the restaurant section after passing a pool, the room is on the second floor.
The receptionist stops in front of a massive door that looks like it will lead to a hall, and when the door opened it really is a hall.
In the middle of the hall is a dining table, there are two people there.
Rex saw the principal and another guy standing on his side, they both stand up when they saw Rex and Adhara arrive.
The receptionist politely closes the door as Rex approached the dining table.
“Ah, Rex Silverstar, Welcome”, the principal said while stretching his hands out for a handshake as Rex also stretches out his hand.
They both shake their hand, the principal is delighted to see Rex.
Rex then said, “Vargas Pierce, is that your name if I may ask?”
Hearing this, the principal laughs politely and replied, “Now that you mention it, I never told you my name”
“Yes, My name is Vargas Pierce”, He added with a smile.
Vargas’s eyes then landed on the beautiful woman beside Rex,
Adhara is like a magnet that pulls any man’s eyes towards her, she’s simply stunning even for an old man like Vargas.
“So this must be the girl you’ve been talking about, Adhara Alpenore”, the principal said while he approaches Adhara.
He takes Adhara’s hand gently and politely kisses it, “Greeting ms Adhara, my name is Vargas Pierce and I’m also your future principal”, Vargas said with a smile.
Adhara nodded her head and smile back politely, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir Vargas”
After introducing themselves briefly, the waiter comes inside the room and serves them food, three plates of potted crabs and salmon got serve in front of each of them.
The smell of rich food instantly penetrates their noses.
“Before we get down to business, let’s just enjoy our food for a moment”, Vargas said as he signals the other to eat the food.
Adhara and Rex look at each other briefly before started eating too.
They’re in a rush but they just can’t rush Vargas, he’s the one doing them a favor so this much is something they can bear.
While they’re eating, the man beside Vargas hasn’t moved a single inch.
His expression is also didn’t change, just like a robot, he stood beside Vargas unmoving. He seems to not get distracted by anything that comes in his way.
Vargas noticed Rex stealing glances at the man and said, “Don’t worry, he’s an assistant of mine”
“If you’re asking why he’s not joining us, that’s because he’s still in worktime so you don’t have to worry about him”, Vargas whispers with a slight chuckle.
Hearing this, Rex also chuckles politely.
While the three of them are eating,
Kyran is sitting beside a window in thought, he’s still guilty for what he’s done and he’s trying to find a solution for the problem he brought.
The night breeze brushes against his face as his eyes glisten.
He then takes a piece of paper and writes down all of the things that he remembers from that night, anything that he felt and experience even to the smallest details.
The paper in front of him started to be full of writings,
Kyran writes all of the events happening that night from his observation, him kidnapping the Fatman, and the incident inside the factory.
He never saw Rex got angry, in his eyes Rex is always calm and collected.
Every of Rex’s moves is filled with confidence as if everything is under his control, but today his emotions burst.
This can only mean that the problem is far greater than what Rex is used to facing.
That is why Kyran wanted to help him no matter how small his contribution is, he doesn’t know if he does it for Rex or for easing the guilt inside his heart.
But whatever it is push Kyran to try and help Rex.
While all of these are happening, Ryze is in the other room snuggling on the floor.
If one looks closer at him, one will see tears falling from Ryze’s closed eyes as he sobbed softly in the other room alone.
Back to Amethyst Hotel,
“Adhara here is also a rank four Awakened, so she will be a boost to the Faraday University’s power and she might be able to win against Kevin”, Rex said proudly.
Hearing this, Vargas’s eyes lit up.
He looks at Adhara with an excited expression and said, “Can you show me your element?”
After getting a confirmation nod from Rex,
Adhara gathers her mana and focuses it on the palm of her hand, purple fire started to blaze on her palm as it lights the place purple.
Seeing this, Vargas leans on the chair while staring at the purple fire.
Rex can see the shock Vargas felt just from his facial expression, “Marvelous, this purple fire is certainly a peak great element”, Vargas said.
He gasps in surprise as he looks at the purple fire.
The purple fire dances on Adhara’s hand like a beautiful lady teasing Vargas, he’s mesmerized by the purple fire.
Adhara then distinguishes the purple fire as she positioned back her seat.
“With both of you joining our university, our rank will certainly rise”, Vargas said with a laugh, he’s so stoked that Rex and Adhara are joining his university.
His slightly wrinkled face can’t hide his happiness, he even looks younger.
Adhara didn’t comment on this, she already accepts that she’s moving to Faraday University.
Because Rex promises her that he will restore his father’s arm, then Adhara doesn’t mind following Rex to Faraday University.
After a while,
Rex and Adhara already finished the starting dish as they wipe their mouths, the food is really delicious but that’s not what they came here for.
“I’m sorry Principal, but can we talk about Shane Thompson while we’re eating”, Rex asks.
Hearing this, Vargas stopped his eating and signal the waiter that is standing on the corner to leave the room and give them some space.
After the waiter left, Vargas takes out a brown report.
He put the report on the table and pushes it towards Rex, “Everything you need to know about Shane Thompson is inside that report, his birthplace, his record, his connections, and even his current settlement. They’re all there”, Vargas explained.
Rex immediately opened the report and saw that it’s true, everything is in there. He asks the system to scan it, he’s afraid that someone will take it.
He then hands the report to Adhara before she puts the report in her bag.
Rex notices that Adhara’s movement is stiff and her breathing is not steady, she sometimes held her breath, ‘She’s nervous, she has to get used to this’, Rex thought.
Just when Rex wanted to thank Vargas,
Vargas intervened, “Rex, Are you in somekind of trouble?”
Rex is stunned hearing this, he was caught off guard by Vargas’s question as he stares at Vargas’ eyes maintaining eye contact.
It was intense eye contact, even Adhara gulped because of this.
While Rex and Vargas are making eye contact, Rex uses this intense eye contact to think of an answer.
It’s a habit of his, he tends to stop and stares at the other party directly in their eyes when he’s thinking of an answer.
After a brief moment, Rex then said, “Everything is under control”
Vargas squinted his eyes as he stares at Rex’s, he then said, “I like that eyes of yours, it reminds me of my old self, Fierce and Unwavering”
Rex wanted to reply but got cut off again, “But don’t fall to the same mistakes I did, I lost my daughter because of it”, Vargas said before he breaks eye contact.
Just when the atmosphere becomes gloomy,
“Well I’m sure that you won’t make the same mistake, you make the right decision in asking me”, Vargas said before the assistant suddenly leans and whispers to him.
After hearing what his assistant said, Vargas then looks back at Rex.
He then said, “It’s been nice dining with you but unfortunately I have to go, so please enjoy the rest of your dine”
Vargas and his assistant vanish after saying that.
Just after they left, Adhara instantly slouches on the seat as she can feel the tension disappear alongside both of them.
“Adhara, did you sense any malicious intent from them?”, Rex asks.
Adhara will be his right hand and he will bring Adhara whenever he got a meeting like this because Adhara can see the emotional aura of a person.
It will be useful for these kinds of meetings.
Adhara then replied, “There’s a hint of sorrow when he told about his daughter, but from start to finish I don’t see any malicious intent from him”
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head.
Rex chooses to ask Vargas is because Vargas wanted them to join Faraday University, and if they both died then he will be at a loss.
Because of this, Rex took advantage of Vargas and he feels that Vargas knows it too.
It’s a win-win for both sides, Rex gets the information to save him and those close to him and if he survived Vargas can take advantage of his power for the university.
Just when Rex and Adhara were about to leave.
‘Hmm?’, Rex frowns when he suddenly feels three powerful auras around him.
Rex wanted to escape as he pulls Adhara to the window, but when he’s about to jump a wind barrier materializes in front of him preventing him from jumping out of the window.
He got pushed back by the wind barrier, ‘They trap us’, Rex thought.
“Rex Silverstar, I believe you have something that belongs to us”, a woman voice crept into Rex and Adhara’s ears.
Rex looks to his back and saw three people.
He scans the three of them before he instantly throws away the option to flee, ‘I can’t run from this’, Rex thought.
