"Why did you decide to come to the Gundam Shelter again?"
Rex smiled as soon as Princess Elanor asked. "Well, in more simpler terms, the Gundam Shelter is the most dangerous and competitive of all the small shelters".
"Here, survival of the fittest is embodied at its finest".
"Here, the law of the strongest fist survives rules supreme".
"It's the shelter with the most blockbuster history in the earth rim too".
Rex sucked some of the Princess's blood to replenish his reserves before he continued. "According to history that was taught to me in my mystic academy, the Gundam Shelter was among the very first small shelters to be built".
"It is surrounded by 3 dangerous forests, the Great Forest of Elias, the Great Dungeon Forest, and the Great Ape Forest".
"Of all the small shelters that were built in such dangerous locations, only the Gundam Shelter has survived to this day".
"Being such a dangerous location, most politicians and mystic families refused to settle here and govern it, thereby leaving it to warriors like you and I".
"Over the years, the Gundam Shelter degraded until it became no greater than a criminal hub".
"On paper, it is a shelter but in reality, it is a home to misfits like us".
"Gangs, military organizations, mercenary organizations, criminals, they come to the Gundam Shelter to try their hand at a new life to see if they can get to the top, the same reason that motivated I and Aragorn to come here".
"Over the years, the mystic beasts have tried to run down the shelter but the warriors that were produced by this dangerous shelter rose to the challenge".
"Most of the dark Legendary Mystic Warriors of this day were rumored to have been bred and produced by the Gundam Shelter".
"Mystic warriors thrive in chaos and the Gundam Shelter fully embodies it".
"With the 3 Great Forests, there are no lack of mystic beasts to fight. Beast tide invasions are normal occurrences here".
"And with the number of criminals here, there is no order which means there is no lack of opportunities for mystic warriors to fight among themselves".
"Essentially, the Gundam Shelter is a chaotic place where the strong gets stronger and the weak are trampled on to death".
Aragorn scoffed amid the speech, irritating Rex. "What's with all the elaborate descriptions, you suck at it".
Without caring about Rex's expression, Aragorn turned to face the beautiful Elven Princess. "In simple terms, the Gundam Shelter is the Afghanistan of today".
Well, Aragorn cut him off but Rex also had to admit that his explanation was far smoother. He could only suck it up and lead the way to the dangerous shelter.
"You'd better hide your ears; we don't want to attract attention so early". Rex was kind to remind the Elven Princess as they made their way into the shelter.
…
"Scorpion, why did you not act? How dare you defy my will?!"
Arthur raged in his secret hideout at the Sting Assassin, his blood boiled as it felt like he was on a burning fire. Once again, he failed in his mission to take in the last descendant of the Vector family, he felt humiliated and frustrated.
Rex eluded him again so easily this time that he felt extremely ashamed. "Dammit, dammit, how does he improve so fast?"
"How?! He barely knew the mystic calculus the last time, f*cking how?!"
"Scorpion, you idiot! Answer me…" Arthur paused mid-sentence as the familiar yellow and black assassin attire suddenly appeared just beside him, the breath caressing his neck chilled his blood as Scorpion finally spoke.
"Call me an idiot again and you'll lose your head".
"Y-you, how dare you…"
"Your family can kill me; I don't give a damn, at least not anymore".
"Before they can move to kill me though, I may have already started dining in the blood spurting from your severed throat".
Before turning to leave, the Scorpion left his last message. "I'm willing to help you, but first of all, I want to meet my daughter".
"If I can't meet her, forget about it".
"B-but…"
"You fought him; you should have a good idea of how strange his improvement is. If you think your family's archenemy left their last descendant all alone to fend for himself, then you're more foolish than I thought".
Scorpion left as his calculated strides left a deep impression in Arthur, he stammered. "M-my father will kill you!"
"I no longer care; I've lost my patience".
After the Scorpion disappeared, Arthur gritted his teeth angrily. "That arrogant fool, you're nothing but a slave!"
…
Unlike most other mainstream shelters out there, the massive walls that were built around the Gundam Shelter already suffered a lot of damage.
Entire sections of the wall were already leveled down, there was barely any intact section and this was as a result of the constant beast attacks over the years.
There was no order in the shelter but Rex and his companions already knew that there were some hidden rules to follow. To save their necks, it was not advisable to enter the shelter through the main entrance.
Aragorn took the lead this time as they located a smuggler. "I want to enter the shelter with my friends and I also need a map of it to navigate around".
"3000 Gundam Shelter credits or an equivalent mystic treasure". The smuggler with a huge cowboy cat that covered part of his face spoke.
"Deal!" Aragorn soon brought out a pair of pistols. "Both are of a rare quality, basic mystic treasures, are they enough?"
"Haha…" The smuggler laughed and was about to talk but Aragorn interjected. "I'll triple the amount, deal?"
The smuggler hesitated and seeing this, Aragorn turned to leave without a word. Before he left though, the smuggler relented. "3 pairs of pistols it is then".
With that, the 3 of them who were all dressed in black at this moment were able to enter the smuggling vehicle which soon started driving away.
After getting his hands on the map, Aragorn's eyes soon found what he wanted even as Rex and Princess Elanor observed their new environment.
>Warehouse for sale<
>Base Price: 3,000,000 Duncan Shelter credits<
"Tsk!" Aragorn clicked his tongue. "Starting over is hard".
