Two days passed since Rex told Kyran about the truth.
These past few days Rex has been keeping an eye on Kyran, he also told Adhara to keep an eye on him because he can't look after Kyran twenty-four seven.
Because of that, Adhara also told Rosie about the problem.
She then also helped them to keep an eye on Kyran, change in a person can happen with a flick of a finger and that's why Kyran must be looked after no matter the cost.
Rex has already turned him into one of his packs, and he will be responsible for it.
The system once told him that the pack member can be commanded forcefully because he's the Alpha, but he won't do that to Kyran who will need to work this out himself.
That way, he will be truly free from the shackle of the truth.
Kyran has been mostly staying inside his room,
He didn't go out or even sneak out like he used to do, and every time Rex, Rosie, or even Adhara went inside his room Kyran can be seen sleeping under the blanket.
Aside from that, Edward came to their room yesterday at noon.
Edward's expression is no longer sickly, and his arm noticeably looks better.
After Rex takes out the mutated worm that Hans put inside Edward's arm, his condition becomes better and it can be seen clearly from his behavior.
Yesterday when Edward visited, Adhara suddenly pulls Rex to his room.
"Why are you pulling me?", Rex asks in confusion.
He's talking with Edward and Rosie before, but Adhara suddenly excuses them and pulls Rex inside the room.
Rex then added, "If this is about Rosie, I don't want to hear it"
"It's not about Rosie! It's about Edward!", Adhara rebutted feeling annoyed by Rex's response.
She for some reason forbid Rex from getting too close with Rosie, and it's not Rex's fault that he suspected that this is about Rosie because of that.
"Then What is it? I need to tell Edward about tomorrow's plan", Rex said impatiently.
Rex is still not decided yet whether to split the team or not, it will be faster to split the team but on the other hand, Rex also can use this opportunity to grind some exp.
It's been a while since he went out, and his exp is basically stagnant.
Adhara bit her lips in thought before she finally said, "Now that Kyran already know about us being Werewolves, That left us with one person left"
Hearing this, Rex looks at Adhara in aghast.
"There's no way I'm telling him about us, zero chance", Rex replied stubbornly.
Seeing that Rex becomes stubborn, Adhara becomes angry, "He's your one and only friend from the military, you probably trust him more than me! He deserves to know!"
"You don't get it, it's not about trust", Rex replied with a troubled look.
He then smacked his lips in displeasure and added, "Forget about it, let's just pretend that we never talked about this"
After saying that, Rex wanted to leave but Adhara prevented him.
"Rex, he's YOUR friend. Out of all people, I can't picture Edward selling you off to the others even though he knows that you're a Werewolf", Adhara said trying to convince Rex.
Feeling pressured once again, Rex leans on the door in thought.
He then said, "You don't understand, I know he won't sell me out but I'm just afraid that he will be different if he knows about this"
"I won't tell him", Rex finally said.
But just when he was about to leave the room,
"He won't be different, I'm sure he will understand your condition and accept it. Just tell him", Adhara said one last time making Rex frown before he left the room.
After getting out of the room, Rex found Edward still waiting for him.
Edward smiles lightly towards Rex before he approached Rex and tugs, Rex, on his side with his elbow, "Did Adhara offer for a little quickie? I must say that was quite fast"
Looking at Edward's joking expression, Rex felt troubled for a moment.
"Shut up dude", Rex said but then, Adhara came out of the room.
She smiles at Edward before giving the look to Rex as if she's saying, 'Tell him!', that makes Rex gulp harshly.
Edward saw Adhara's look before he said, "Are you two fighting or something?"
While Edward is asking Rex about what that look means, Rex was put in a daze as his breathing becomes heavy.
'Should I tell him? I can't...', Rex thought.
"Hello? Rex? Why are you daydreaming in the middle of the day for", Edward asks with a slight chuckle making Rex snap out of his daze.
Rex then glances at Edward with a troubled look.
Seeing this, Edward looks at Rex weirdly and asks, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"I-I...", Rex stutters for the first time.
In front of Edward with a confused expression who doesn't know about what he's struggling to say, Rex finds his throat suddenly went dry.
Looking at Rex stutters, Edward frown.
With how much time they spent together as a friend, Edward never saw Rex stutters even once.
Rex never gets nervous in Edward's perception, he knows that Rex almost never becomes nervous because he simply doesn't care.
But seeing Rex stutters, in front of him nevertheless is a weird sight.
Then finally, Rex said, "I want to talk to you about tomorrow's plan, Will your condition be fine? You can just skip this if you're not in your peak condition"
Hearing this, Edward laughs lightly.
Tap!
He tap Rex's back before he said, "You're going to say that? No worries, I can come"
Rex then nodded his head before finally, Edward excused himself to rest because he will need as much Rex as he can for tomorrow.
But after Edward passes Adhara who is sitting on the sofa beside the entrance while listening to their conversation, Adhara looks at Rex with the same look she gave before.
This makes Rex smile wryly, he can't bring himself to confess to Edward.
Night came,
Rex just got back from training, he just create the media in his heart today and the only thing left is to create the media on his brain before assimilating with a spirit.
After assimilating with a spirit, Rex will officially reach the sixth rank.
In the whole Ratmawati City, there's no one in his age that manages to reach the sixth rank.
The geniuses from the 25 Golden Crest with plenty of resources can't even match him, they can only reach the sixth rank in their late twenties or even thirties.
Rex on the other hand reaches it with only a couple of months of training.
This just shows how much the High-Grade Affinity from the system impacts his improvement, it's just simply astonishing.
Rex opened the entrance lazily as his mind is drained.
He's adjusting tomorrow's plan and also the Atkins' motive,
The banquet is postponed as Ari said to him before, and with the current war, the UWO had with the Supernatural from the strongholds it is unlikely to be held in near time.
But even though it's postponed, Rex still needs to be alert about his suspicion.
Many possible things crossed his mind but he just doesn't have any evidence, and spying on the Atkins will just be futile because they have many guards.
Even the most skilled spy will hardly go past them, and it is most definitely impossible for the current lineup Rex has in his team.
They're not strong enough, Adhara is the most powerful amongst all of them.
But even so, she's no spy, unlike Edward who is an expert in spying like himself.
Upon entering the room, Rex saw a maid in front of his bedroom that was about to enter his bedroom before she jolted in shock seeing Rex come in.
Looking at this, Rex frown.
Rex approached the maid who is looking down on the floor seeing Rex approaching her.
"What are you doing?", Rex asks with a frown.
Hearing this, the maid stutters in panic as she doesn't know what to say, "I-I was about to..."
Just as she said that she saw Clarice come out of the corner.
The maid gives a signaling look to Clarice before Clarice approached them,
Clarice bowed in front of Rex before she apologized politely, "I'm sorry sir Rex if this maid has done anything to upset you, I will definitely punish her accordingly"
After Clarice said that, the maid also bowed asking for forgiveness.
Looking at this, Rex frowns.
Both Clarice and the other maid are bowing close with each other in front of Rex, it looks weird for some reason.
"Where are the butlers? I assume that it's past your working hours", Rex asks suspiciously.
Clarice then immediately answered hurriedly, "We're just cleaning Rosie's room because she asked for it, that is why we're here this late"
Hearing this, Rex finally nodded his head, "You both can leave"
After saying that, both Clarice and the other maid apologize one last time before they pick up their tools and left through the entrance.
They left under Rex's sharp gaze,
Rex looks at both of them until they left in thought, 'What is she afraid of?'
Unknown to both of the maids, Rex saw Clarice emits an immense bleak aura that alerted his Bleak Sense that makes him even more suspicious.
With the way, he's treating the butlers and the maids, she shouldn't be that afraid.
But Clarice is definitely scared of something for her to emit such an immense bleak aura, and Rex knows that she didn't fear him.
"What is that maid holding?", Rex mumbles with a frown.
Right when Clarice and the other maid left the room hurriedly, Rex saw a glimpse of an object that shines his eyes under the moonlight from the window.
Although Rex let them go this time, he was still suspicious of them.
When Rex was about to enter his bedroom to sleep, the sound of a door opening can be heard from the side as he glances to his left.
There, he saw Kyran open his door and look at Rex.
"Kyran? What's wrong?", Rex asks in concern, he's still keeping an eye on Kyran.
Ignoring Rex's question, Kyran glance to the entrance before he looks back at Rex, "That maid, I heard her threatening Clarice"
"Threatening? Why would she do that?", Rex asks in confusion.
Both of them are maids from the university, and there shouldn't be any conflict between them much less showing the conflict in front of Rex.
It will show their unprofessionalism,
So that shouldn't be the case because that's what Rex knows the butlers and maids cared for.
Kyran then added, "I can't hear them quite well because of some energy in this room dimming their conversation, but I do hear Adhara and Rosie's name brought up and also yours"
"What? Are you sure about that?", Rex asks in surprise.
Hearing this, Kyran nodded his head assuringly.
Looking at Kyran's serious expression, Rex knows that Kyran is not lying and his senses also can't be underestimated because Kyran's senses are more sensitive than himself.
'Why would she bring up our name in their conversation, to threaten Clarice?', Rex thought.
He then looks back at the entrance, 'That means Clarice is afraid of that maid beside her, but why would Clarice be afraid of her when she can just report her to the university. Unless... the university can't help her'
Upon thinking this, Rex widened his eyes in realization.
'Didn't she was about to enter my bedroom? Adhara is in there', Rex thought realizing that he walk inside the room at the perfect moment.
Rex started connecting the dots as he finally realized that maid's intention.
There's only one problem that will involve Rex, Adhara, and Rosie and Rex knows it perfectly, his blood started rushing fiercely as he glared at the entrance door.
"We have a mole in our house", Rex mumbles as his eyes glister with brutality.
