"What are you spacing out for?" Cassandra could not help but ask as she could no longer hold her patience, she turned to face Rex on the bed.
"Nothing". Rex raised his hands in surrender.
Cassandra narrowed her eyes. "Just like you, I have a shadow mystic ability and mine is even more finetuned towards stealth, detection, and assassination".
"I knew the exact moment that you woke up, then you just spaced out like you had a lot of things on your mind, don't think you can lie to me".
"…"
"Ahh…" Rex laughed and scratched his head. "I guess I can't lie to you then so I'll be plain".
Rex held Cassandra closer before whispering into her ears, making her blush slightly but she was still adamant to hear his answer.
"Sorry, with you in my embrace, it'll be a blasphemy for me not to space out, I've been thinking about how lucky I am to have a beauty goddess like you".
Cassandra rolled her eyes before poking him on the head. "Since when did you become so good with words?"
"I was always this good, you just didn't pay attention".
"Nah, I don't think the shy Rex I knew could ever flatter a woman with words". Cassandra tilted her head slightly to look him in the eyes.
"Damn, but you're really beautiful today".
"Really?" Cassandra rolled her eyes again then she sighed.
"Prove it". She pushed Rex flat with his back on the bed before climbing on top him. "Prove that I'm really beautiful today".
"Ahh…" Rex was shocked. "What if Aragorn and Elanor come?"
"They won't come, they know there's a woman in your room now".
"But…"
"Don't worry, my shadow mystic ability can sense any presence before they even come close to the door". Cassandra narrowed her eyes. "Don't tell me you're scared to fulfill your duty as a boyfriend?"
"Hell no!"
Provoked, Rex took the lead and led his girlfriend on.
Everything else proceeded naturally, their blossoming love served as the catalyst that pushed them into exploring the deepest parts of each other.
For the 2nd time, the pair of lovers expressed their love for each other in the oldest ritual of love for over an hour until they were exhausted from pleasure.
After cleaning up, they spent the next hour in each other's arms.
This was when Cassandra brought up the topic again. "So, be sincere this time". She patted his hand. "Tell me, who's the Naga Queen?"
"She's my first official ally".
"Ally?"
"Yes". Rex smiled. "Just like her title, she's a real Naga".
Cassandra creased her brows. "You mean like those creatures in myth depicted as beautiful females with snake tails?"
"Yeah".
Cassandra narrowed her eyes. "The heck where you doing alone with such a beautiful female even if she is a Naga?!"
"Ahh…" Rex was surprised. "I was not alone with her!" He denied.
It took some calming down before he soothed his girlfriend. In the end, Rex was left wiping off imaginary sweat. 'Women are so scary'.
After spending an hour resting already, Rex finally stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to address my gang". Rex said as he put on his warrior clothes, a pair of thick black fitting attire with red strips.
"After that, I intend to go somewhere with you so get prepared".
"Oh, you want to take me out? Where?"
"It's a surprise". Rex winked before going out.
…
Though they had not seen him yet, the news that the Gang Leader finally woke up already spread throughout the whole Berserk Gang.
Morale in the gang rose even higher as the hundreds of thousands of mystic warriors that served in the gang were motivated to see their war hero.
Especially the old gang members of the Berserk Gang, they already idolized Rex since his incredible performance was the sole reason why they won the war.
Today, they finally got to see him as Rex called for a gathering in the main field of the new Berserk Mansion. Not all the warriors were present since most of them were out on duty, but tens of thousands of mystic warriors were gathered.
There were representatives from each of the other zones around the Red Zone, and the other mystic warriors could watch through devices.
As soon as the time came, Rex came before the gathered warriors.
As soon as they saw him, the army broke into loud cheers as they welcomed their Gang Leader. In the end, the Berserk Gang was not a real military organization, the mystic warriors were not as restricted as real soldiers.
Rex waved to acknowledge their cheers as he took the podium.
On the podium, Rex watched the thousands of mystic warriors. A proud smile lit up his face as he viewed the rewards of his and his companions' hard work.
Rex clenched his right fist and pumped it up, the warriors imitated him as they roared at the top of their voices. The commotion only calmed down after a few more minutes, then Rex addressed the warriors.
"We won".
"We fulfilled our incredible dream of building a Red Zone under one gang".
"This would have not been possible without the sacrifices of all the warriors present and those that lost their lives, may their souls rest in peace".
"Today, I want to tell you all that our dream lives".
"We built a unified Red Zone, we shall protect it".
"We shall protect it from every stranger that seeks to devour it".
"I want to give special recognition to our war hero, Gang Leader Walker Olufsen, he paved the way to our successful unification and victory".
"I also want to inform you that our ambition does not end here".
"We'll continue expanding our territory and power until we achieve the outmost of glory for the Berserk Gang"
"Also, today, the Gandalf Gang became our official allies".
"Together, we'll rise to the top".
Rex's declaration this time caused mixed reactions amid the gathered army but order was soon restored as he continued.
Rex thought deeply on his next choice of words before he continued.
"Max Fury is dead".
"Just like me, though we were enemies, he had a dream of a unified Red Zone. I will carry on his will through his warriors that are now part of the Berserk Gang to fulfil his dream".
"For the Berserk Gang!"
"For the Berserk Gang!" The mystic warriors roared.
After the speech came the more important part, the part where the Gang Leader would delegate duties to the warriors of the gang.
Rex brought out a paper where he read from.
"After convening with the other leaders, we already decided on the next course and leadership that will lead the Berserk Gang to greatness".
"The Northern Region is the headquarters of the Berserk Gang".
"Commander Aragorn will be in charge of all administrative duties in the headquarters with Elanor as his assistant".
"Commander Erling and Commander Jacob will be in charge of all administrative duties in the Eastern Region of our territory".
"Commander Tosh will be in charge of all administrative duties in the Western Region of our territory".
"Commander Cinnabar of the Axe unit will be in charge of all administrative duties in the Southern Region of our territory".
"As for the Southern Region, Commander Melkor will take charge".
"Lastly, I am the Commander in Chief of the Berserk Army".
"Every other army delegation will be displayed in the notice board".
After announcing the new leadership structure of the Berserk Gang, with that, Rex brought the gathering to an end and finally left the podium.
