>Emergency!!!<
>Rex, like you predicted, we already have visitors from the Snake Territory. A gang called the Hades Gang just entered our territory with an army of 30,000 mystic warriors<
>They've not met our warriors yet but their intentions are clear as day<
>We need you to make decisions<
>Sender: Aragorn<
Rex sighed. "Already? It's been months already so I guess they tried in even staying patient for so long before making their move".
Rex turned and waved one last time at his ancestor before leaving the exclusive training hall. Having asked his ancestor, he knew that Cassandra was now inside the training chamber to train ranged weapons.
Click!
With a soft click, he pushed the massive metal door open.
Whoosh!
Rex ducked as swiftly as he could, barely fast enough to save his head from being impaled by the snake-shaped dagger that Cassandra just threw.
"Ahh…!" She paused in surprise as soon as she saw him.
Rex rubbed his head in exasperation. "You're so intense in training, I hate my decision of imprinting my hot-bloodedness in you back then, you were so calm back in the academy".
"I miss that calm you". Rex sighed.
Cassandra wiped off her sweat as she descended from the elevated platform where she stood previously. "Wassup? You finished your training?"
"Ugh…, I don't want to talk about that". Rex waved his hand. "You didn't receive any notification from Aragorn?"
"Oh, I put my communication devices aside while training".
"…" Rex scratched his head. "Anyway, our presence is needed in the gang".
"Can't you go alone?"
"I'm not leaving you here! You're getting addicted to this gloomy place".
"You're so unromantic, can't a girl fall in love with a place?"
Rex soon learned that his girlfriend simply refused to be realistic today, so he abandoned polite asking and dragged her out of the inheritance ground.
"No cuddling for you for a month". Cassandra declared her punishment.
After channeling his mystic energy into his Blood Tome, Rex triggered the key as the both of them were finally teleported out of the inheritance ground.
Bzzz!
As soon as they regained their orientation, they found themselves in the familiar confines of their room.
"Right back where we left". Rex smiled.
Of course, the first thing that the both of them did after returning was going straight to the bathroom to take a long cold and refreshing bath to wipe out all the effects of their 3 days' marathon training.
Cassandra preferred to stay back in the room to digest her gains, so Rex waved her goodbye before going to the strategy hall where the others were already gathered. Here, Rex saw Ben again after a long time.
"You're back?"
"Buddy, you don't know how much I'm grateful to you man". Ben grabbed Rex in a tight embrace. "You saved me by relieving me of that job, just another month and I don't think I could have coped psychologically".
"Anyways, I've heard about your beautiful other half". Ben winked before laughing. "I always saw myself as a prophet, now I confirmed it".
"I always said that a day will come when all the girls will bow before you, I think I'm already witnessing those days". Ben laughed proudly.
Bam!
Elanor kicked Ben as he laughed. "A girl is in this room you know".
The others laughed as the serious Aragorn finally took proceedings of this strategy meeting. He first showed a footage of the invading mystic warriors.
Since they already knew the intentions of these mystic warriors, the main problem became how to react to their approach.
Rex spoke. "It's simple, we have 2 options, to go the peaceful route and try to negotiate with them or to go the violent route and show them who's boss".
"This time, I won't be making the decision, I want you Aragorn to make it since in a few days, I won't be in the Gundam Shelter anymore".
Aragorn raised his brows. "Where are you going to?"
"I think I've told you of my desire to go to the Great Dungeon Forest".
"Before we officially resume our conquest into the Snake Territory, I first want to explore this mystical forest and have my own opinion of it".
"I intend to take Ben and Elanor along, so you'll be alone to take care of the gang in my absence. Taking care of these pests will be your responsibility and is why I want you to start getting the experience now".
"…" Aragorn looked at Rex speechlessly.
Rex smiled. "Don't worry, during this time, you're in full control, you can control the budget of the gang anyhow you like, you know what I mean".
"With your obsession with machines, I think I know exactly what you'll do with so much money at your disposal".
"But…"
"Object and Elanor can stay and have full control over the budget while you follow me". Rex smiled. "So, do we have a deal?"
"Yes, deal". Aragorn accepted then he shooed them away.
"No need to concern yourselves about how I take care of this, you all should go rest and prepare yourself for your trip to the Great Dungeon Forest".
"That's why you're my best brother". Rex gave him a thumb up.
As they left, Elanor could not help but bump into Rex. "Hey, I think you're beginning to act all bossy these days?"
"You didn't inform me first and you're just saying it so unbridled to Aragorn like it's a concluded fact that I'll follow you".
"You know, I have my own will, I can decide not to go".
Rex turned to look at her. "Sorry then, Erling can replace you".
"F*ck you!" Elanor kicked him on the leg. "Can't you ask politely?"
"Lol, why? I know that you're into adventures more than I do, you've stayed put in the gang only because you feel you're obligated to us right?"
Elanor gritted her teeth. "Still, ask politely".
"Why?"
Bam!
"…"
Bam!
"Sorry, please follow me to the Great Dungeon Forest".
"Good". Elanor finally nodded.
As they separated and as Rex left with Ben, he rubbed his cheek painfully. "She's changed a lot".
Ben smirked. "That's girls for you, they're like a chess game, very complicated, you need to pay attention to understand them".
…
As soon as they left, Aragorn called his 2 personal assistants in.
"This is the plan…"
"I will be going personally, meet me outside in 5 minutes".
"Yes sir!"
