Chapter 89: One Condition
Inside one of the vice-principals offices,
“What?! How can they be unharmed?!”, a man shouted with anger.
A woman in front of him jolted in fear, she puts her head down, “I don’t know, they shouldn’t be able to defeat twenty-plus White Assassins with two Peak Rank Four leading them”
The man paces left and right in panic, beads of sweat started to emerge on his forehead, “You don’t understand, this is a request from…”
RING!!
Before he can even finish, the hologram telephone rang just beside the woman.
She drags the hologram towards her with trembling hands, “Sir Manuel, there’s a phone call for you”, she said meekly.
Manuel was stunned, his face starting to turn pale before ha answers, “Hello?”
“Manuel it’s me, how was it? Is there anyone from them that uses a brute style of fighting and can kill my son with only their raw strength? Is it Rex Silverstar?“, the person on the phone said with an impatient tone.
If Rex hears this, he will recognize this voice as Duncan’s voice.
Manuel’s breaths become heavy, he then answered stutteringly, “It’s…It’s definitely Rex, I assure you“, he lied desperately fearing the man on the phone knows that he failed.
“I knew it“, Duncan said before he hung up.
The woman lost all her face colors, “Sir, Why did you lie? If that person finds out then…”
“Shut it! Let’s just hope there will be no problems”, Manuel said, he then sits on his chair roughly while messaging his forehead.

The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky, the streets become silent with almost no people around.
It’s already night when Rex and the others got out of the university,
Because of the event before, Rex decided to postpone the catchup with Edward to a different time.
He needs to finish the Berserk Quest that he got as soon as possible because he still needs to go back to the warehouse to check on Kiru and Miru.
‘So when my Berserk stats exceed 80% I will get this kind of quest? but the system gives me a warning before the quest suddenly appear’, Rex thought,
He didn’t know how the Berserk Quest works, he tries to ask the system but this time the system didn’t answer.
They are currently in the nearby cafe with an intense vibe, it subconsciously makes Hera and Bennie’s mouths dry.
They can feel Rex and Edward’s sour mood.
“Hera, Bennie, Leave me with Edward. I want to talk to him alone for a moment”, Rex said calmly, he wanted to talk to Edward about the quest.
Hearing this, Hera and Bennie look at each other nervously.
Bennie is the first one to gets up, “Well, I got something to do as well. Nice to meet you, Rex, I’m going now”, he said before he left.
Hera was hesitating, her guts tell her that Rex is going to do something bad.
But under Rex’s eye contact, her confidence crumbles before she left the cafe too following Bennie.
After they both left, Rex looks at Edward with a meaningful look.
“What do you want to do? I know that look and I say it is madness!”, Edward rebutted, he knows that Rex intends to kill Chris.
Rex smirks evilly, “Why are you so dense, do you not want to kill him?”
Edward straightens his body, he sighs before saying, “Believe me I wanted to, you see the scar on his face? That’s my doing”
Hearing this, Rex was quite surprised, “I know that you can beat him easily, whose behind him?”
“I really want to kill him but Chris is from the Sullivan Family, a high-ranking family just under Platchi Family. I got banned from challenging Chris, and I also almost got kicked out of the university”, Edward said peevishly, his hand trembled while remembering this event.
‘As I predicted, he’s indeed from a high-ranking family’, Rex thought.
He then notices, “Platchi Family? what’s Sullivan Family’s relation with the Platchi’s?”
Edward thinks for a while, “The 25 Golden Crest is the rank for the highest family in Ratmawati City, because of that the Platchi and Sullivan didn’t get along in fact they’re rivals. If I remember correctly, it’s been three years since Sullivan Family tries to overtake Platchi Family’s 25th place but fail”
Rex listens to Edward closely before asking, “What is this 25 Golden Crest standing? Is it possible for one of them to hire assassins to attack someone?”
Edward was confused, Rex’s question is out of context but he still answers it, “For the 25 Golden Crest families, it is easy to hire assassins but if that someone is an Awakened then they can’t kill them until they get enough to prove them guilty but that only applies when they’re being monitored”
He looks towards the night street before he continues, “The Sullivan can’t kill mindlessly because they’re not the part of the 25 Golden Crest, the Platchi is also under UWO watch because of their illegal business, so they certainly can’t kill mindlessly”
Hearing this, everything clicks inside Rex’s head as he said, “Come with me, we’ll go somewhere first”, he then walks out of the cafe leaving Edward.
“What the heck, he didn’t even pay!”, Edward mumbled, he paid to the cashier before following Rex.
After a while, Edward and Rex arrive at the warehouse where Kiru and Miru are hidden.
There are no people around the warehouse,
There’s still a couple of FAA officers around the warehouse but there are only a couple of them, only one unit consisting of four people is in front of the warehouse guarding it.
Rex already scans the four of them and saw they are only mid-rank three, so sneaking around them is easy for Rex and Edward.
He decided to not bring Rosie and Adhara as usual because the lesser the people know what he’s about to do, the better.
‘I hope they’re not caught’, Rex thought, he enters the warehouse silently.
Rex and Edward is an expert of sneaking in, they’re drilled in Noob Box and they can proudly say that their skills are above the majority of people in terms of sneaking in a place.
He then walks to the white truck where he put Kiru and Miru, he takes a big breath before he opens it.
Thankfully, Kiru and Miru are still there staring at him sharply.
“Why are we going here? Aren’t we supposed to talk about Chris?”, Edward said, he peeked his head inside and saw two people with assassins’ outfits.
He was quite surprised before he asks, “Who’re they? How did you know they’re here?”
Rex ignores Edward before he grabbed Miru and Kiru and left the warehouse through the backdoor.
Edward can only helplessly follow him.
They then went to a small warehouse located on the back like a shadow in the night.
Rex tossed Kiru to the ground roughly before signaling Edward to close the door.
“Rex tells me what are you planning, I hate to be left out in the dark”, Edward said helplessly, Rex continues to ignore him along the way making him feel frustrated.
Rex glanced at Edward briefly before saying, “After this, I’ll tell you”
Rex whispers to Edward what he wanted Edward to do before his eyes landed on Kiru.
Edward was surprised for a little before he nodded his head, he then left Rex and went to the other room bringing Miru with him under Kiru’s eyes.
Kiru panicked but Rex’s words interrupted him, “Who sent you?”
Hearing this, Kiru sighs before answering, “I want you to promise to let me and my sister go if I tell you everything”
Rex sent Kiru a weird look, he then approaches Kiru slowly.
Kiru’s heart thump faster every time Rex’s step got closer to him, he felt an overwhelming pressure from Rex’s presence.
“I think you don’t know the position you’re in”, Rex said before he gripped Kiru’s neck and slam him to the wall.
BAM!!
“Argh!”, Kiru grunts in pain, the stuff inside the warehouse trembles because of it.
Rex puts his head closer to Kiru, “You and your sister’s life is under MY mercy, so start talking before I told my friend to do something exciting to your sister there”
Hearing this Kiru’s eyes bulged in anger,
If eyes can kill, Kiru would’ve killed Rex a million times.
Kiru’s body trembles before he sighs helplessly and said, “We are from the White Terror sent by Manuel, one of the Vice-Principals of Faraday University to test and injure you”, he turns his head away in defeat.
Rex studied Kiru’s expression, “Are you lying to me?”
“I swear on my sister’s life it’s true!”, Kiru said desperately, he looks sincere but Rex is not that innocent.
Grip!
Rex tightens his grip on Kiru’s neck, “Do you really think I believe that?”, he then threw Kiru to the wall before he said to Edward in the other room, “Edward! Come here!”
Hearing this, Kiru raises his head to see Miru.
He saw Miru got dragged out of the other room roughly, “You MONSTER!! You’re not a student!! Damn you!!”
Miru has no power in her body, her injury added with the level four Seal Chain makes her unable to move an inch.
Rex then said, “You can do whatever you want to her”
After getting Rex’s command, Edward reaches out his hand with an evil smile intending to strip Miru.
“Stop! Get your hands away from me!”, Miru struggled to no avail, her body can hardly move.
Rex’s smirk got wider, he pins Kiru down with his feet and said jokingly, “By the way, my friend there is a pretty nasty sex sadist. I’m not quite surprised if your sister will begin begging to die in a minute”
“NO! PLEASE!! IT’S THE TRUTH!! I DIDN’T LIE!!”, Kiru shouted helplessly under Rex’s feet, he wanted to help Miru but he’s unable to move Rex’s feet.
Edward already stripped Miru off of her armor, only a thin white layer left from exposing her body.
Kiru is struggling madly as if he’s possessed by a demon.
“Do you feel like telling the truth now? Who sent you?”, Rex said, his words rang on Kiru’s mind along with the sound of Miru’s wail.
He’s in a helpless situation, “STOP!! I WILL TELL YOU!!”
Rex signals Edward to stop before he gazes at Kiru, ‘If what I predict it’s true, then I can proceed with the plan’, he thought.
“I don’t know who it is but Manuel said that this mission is an order from an important person”, He said truthfully, he can’t bear to see his own sister got played by Edward.
Rex put more strength on his feet, “Who is he? Tell me a name”
Kiru answer helplessly, “I really don’t know! Manuel only said that I swear!”, immense desperation can be clearly heard from Kiru’s hoarse voice.
Tears still decorated his face while he looks at Miru who is also teary.
Rex studied his expression one more time before he finally nodded his head, it seems Kiru’s words are true this time.
‘It’s not clear but Duncan is the main suspect, it’s safe to think Duncan is the one behind this’, Rex thought, he already matches all the puzzles and it all directed him to Duncan.
He lifts his feet before he walks slowly towards Miru.
Edward is looking coldly at Kiru who is coughing blood because of Rex’s stomp, he seems unbothered by it.
“Fine, if that’s true then I have a condition before I let you both go”, Rex said.
Kiru raises his head with a questioning look before Rex continues, “I want you to bring me a guy called Chris Sullivan in four hours, that is if you want your sister to live”
“He always drinks in a place called Holyclub at night, you can find him there”, Edward added from the side.
Hearing this, Kiru frowns hard but he eventually nodded his head, “I’ll do it! Just don’t hurt my sister anymore”
Rex smirked, he opened the seal chain calmly.
It’s night, Rex didn’t even felt concerned that Kiru will take them by surprise and brought Miru away.
Kiru was also stunned, he looks at Rex who looks calm before Rex’s eyes suddenly glow red.
He felt immense fear after he looks at Rex’s eyes, he immediately threw away all of his thought about fighting Rex.
Rex looks at his phone before saying, “Time’s ticking”
