Chapter 639 Conflicted And Good News

Morning comes, and the shade of the night has been washed away by the brilliance of light.

It was the first sign of light but Kyran has already taken a shower and changed into a tight combat suit, he went out of his room before he headed downstairs wanting to do something on his mind, something that he thought will benefit their situation.

Following along the hallway, he head to the stairs and went down to the first floor.

Much of the place inside the castle is still unfinished and thus feels spacious with many empty spaces, but this made it easier for him to find his way through this huge castle. It's only been more than a week, he's not used to this place just yet.

"Hmm...? Am I lost?", Kyran mutters as he didn't find the great hall and reached the back.

But over the grey marble fences that caged the courtyard at the back, Kyran squinted his eyes finding that there was a figure sitting in the middle of the courtyard. Upon closer look, he finds that it's supposed to be Gistella, judging from her silvery-white long hair.

Around her is a blue energy bubble that envelops her entire body.

'She's beautiful...', Kyran can't help but commented, he's mesmerized by Gistella's beauty.

Kyran then shakes his head before he finds that there's another person lying on the ground, he quickly realized that the figure is Rex, lying asleep on the ground with his head on Gistella's thighs. For once, he looks in peace.

Upon sensing someone looking, Gistella turns her back and finds Kyran.

Putting her slender index finger at the center of her lips, Gistella signals to Kyran to not make any noise as Rex is sleeping. It's better to leave him like this knowing that it's been a while since Rex is sleeping this soundly.

Nodding his head, Kyran then talks to her without a sound and only uses lips movement.

'I'm going to head out, tell that to Rex when he wakes up'

'Are you going to clear cursed creatures again?'

'Yes, I'll be back at noon or at night. Don't worry, I'll be fine outside'

With that Gistella nodded her head and turns her head away.

For a brief second Kyran frowned when he saw Gistella's face, there was something weird about her but he can't quite put his finger on it. Deciding that it was probably nothing, Kyran turns around and heads in the other direction.

Soon enough he finally find the great hall and instantly went outside.

The warmth from the sunlight instantly pierces his skin upon stepping outside, he stopped to feel the sensation for a moment before his body turns into blackness and disappears from the place.

Meanwhile, on the other part of the castle. Adhara turns her body around on the bed.

Feeling the morning light directly hitting her eyelids, she slowly opens her eyes and blinked a couple of times to adjust to her surroundings. She groaned lightly as her sleep was disturbed. Throwing her arm to the other side, Adhara frowned feeling that it was empty.

"Emmh... where did he go?"

Remembering that last night Rex is clearly sleeping by her side, she was confused to find him gone.

Although he's usually busy doing something and securing the castle, he rarely goes missing and is usually sitting on the bed by this time while looking out of the window. It's his daily routine for the last couple of days, she doesn't even know if Rex has gone to sleep.

Getting up from the bed, she quickly changed into comfortable clothes before heading out.

Even though the castle is quite big for five people to live in, finding others is not a problem for them as Werewolves. Adhara quickly heads to the courtyard, she smelled Rex's scent coming from there.

'Is he mourning his parents this early?', Adhara thought unbothered.

Knowing that Rex needs years upon years to finally accept that his birth parents are dead, she's not surprised to find that he's still mourning after a week. But upon reaching the courtyard, Adhara widened her eyes before she quickly steps back and peeks from the corner.

Looking at the scene in front of her where Rex is sleeping soundly on Gistella's thighs, she stopped.

Unconsciously she's gripping the edge of the wall while looking at this, she feels conflicted before she pulls her head away and leans on the wall. Rubbing her face roughly, she tries to collect herself and intends to leave.

It seems it's not a good time to approach them right now.

But then she stopped, remembering something, "Now that I think about it, where's Evelyn...?"

~

For the last week, Evelyn has stayed in Ratmawati City.

Everything that she needs to sort out such as her family, the Luc Family's businesses that need her attention and even her personal belongings are all finished sorted out by her. At first, she just intends to leave, but she doesn't have the heart to do that.

Not that she wanted to meet or say anything to her parents, but her brothers instead.

Kevin and Luke are still her brothers and she loved them with all her heart, they also return the same kind of love to her as their big sister. Because of that, the fact that she will be leaving Ratmawati City would be very hard for them.

Due to that, Evelyn decided to stay a bit longer to bid them farewell which is very hard for her too.

With a simple suitcase, now she's in front of the UWO office building again.

Because of the tragedy that decimated the core areas of Ratmawati City, the people working at the UWO have been working non-stop judging from the dark bag under their eyes. It's a stressful time and they need to deal with the aftermath.

Evelyn stepped into the building and she becomes the center of attention immediately.

Just like what Sebrof had planned, the official news that the UWO released stated that this tragedy happened due to the King of Werewolves that managed to find its way inside the walls and ransacked everything it saw.

Although that is the case, all kinds of rumors starting to spread around the public.

One of the being the fact that the Silverstar Family has some involvement with what happened to Ratmawati City. Questions started to appear when the new family has gone missing completely, and the Awakened under them got neglected.

It happened overnight, and that strengthens the bold claims that are spreading around.

Not only that but there's also a rumor that emerged from one of the Awakened that worked under the Silverstar Family, he said that one particular Awakened that he was closed with has gone missing and is never to be found.

It's obvious now why these people are looking at her with conflicted gazes and unfriendly ones.

But as if she doesn't realize that the people inside the UWO office are looking at her weirdly, Evelyn walks past them without a cold expression on her face intending to head to the president's office and talked for one last time with Sebrof.

Just as she was about to enter the lift, a man came up to her and stop her.

"Evelyn..."

"I don't have anything else to say to you, Edward"

Without even stopping Evelyn heads inside the lift but ultimately got stopped by Edward, she lazily turns to face him before she asked with a cold tone, "What do you want now? Haven't we talked enough?"

"Evelyn, he's done enough already. All that innocent lives he killed, that should be enough"

"It's enough but Giana still needs to be dead, you know that"

"Yes, I know how this is going to play out. But I want you to try and convince him that the blood he spilled that day, it's enough for humanity to pay the price of killing his parents. Giana is needed, he doesn't need to kill her anymore"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn looks at him with steady eyes before she went into the lift and left.

Edward can only stand at his spot before putting both of his hands on his waist, he wanted this to be over and they can go back to fending the Supernatural again, but it seems that hope would be way harder to realize.

In just a moment, Evelyn walks out of the lift and heads to the president's office.

Standing at the other end of the hallway, she saw that there are five Awakened and five Black Hands including one messenger guarding Sebrof's office. Evelyn frowned but she didn't bother and just heads to the door.

Contrary to her expectation, not one of them stops her to make her way inside.

Without minding that for too long she knocked on the door before twisting the handle and stepping inside, she closed the door behind her as she saw Sebrof and Giana in the same exact position as the last time she was here.

But they're alone now, there are also King John and Prof. K standing on the opposite side.

Although she just got here and doesn't know what they are talking about since the entire room is covered with arcane mana that prevents her from hearing what they were talking about inside, she frowned when she can feel the tension filling the air.

It seems there's a disagreement between King John and Sebrof.

Not only that, but Giana seems to be looking down at the floor submissively. Who knew what they were talking about before Evelyn got here, but it's definitely something about Giana judging from their expressions.

"Seems you have a guest, we'll continue this talk some other time", King John mutters.

Glancing at Evelyn that got inside at the peak of the moment, King John gives her a slight smile before he turns around and walks towards the door. Prof. K is following behind him like a trusted bodyguard.

As they were about to walk out of the door, Prof. K stopped and said.

"Just for you to know, the Supernatural Radar is going to be online in a couple of days. No Supernaturals inside its effective range would be able to hide, even if they are hiding under a human skin"

With that out of the way, the both of them left the room, inheriting the heavy tension for Evelyn.

Upon the door being closed shut once again, Sebrof sighed before he leaned back on his chair tiredly. Just like the others, he seems to be working non-stop through a couple of sleepless nights. Silence covers the room for a whole minute.

Soon Sebrof reaches out his hand to grab a paper before he looks at Evelyn.

"I've already sorted the escorts that will bring you safely to wherever Rex and his people are, you can pick from this pile of candidates that are all eighth-rank realm Awakened. I'm confident that they are able to safely escort you", he said before pushing the pile of papers toward Evelyn.

Evelyn frown before she shakes her head, she doesn't seem to be interested in the escorts.

"Aren't you here for that? What else are you here for if not for escorts?", Sebrof asked in confusion.

Putting down the suitcase beside her, Evelyn then replied, "I don't need your escorts, there's no need for you to assign to me an escort when Ratmawati City is in this state. I came here to tell you to not follow me, there'll be consequences if you did"

"You have nothing to be worried about, we don't have the resources to be on the offensive"

"Still, I'm here just to tell you that. If you want to help then just make sure that the Awakened guarding the walls won't give me any trouble", Evelyn added, she doesn't want anyone following her since only she can find where Rex and the others are.

Due to the connection she had with Rex, she can pinpoint his location easily.

Something as valuable as where Rex and the others currently are right now is not going to be handed over easily, Evelyn wouldn't allow that. 'Not only that, but I also can't have them following me when I'm going to those cities...', she thought, hiding her other intention.

Nodding his head, Sebrof agreed as humanity needs time to breathe for now.

But just when Evelyn was about to leave the office room and heads out of Ratmawati City, the door behind her got knocked before a man that has sand stain all over his clothes walked inside with a troubled expression.

Fixating his gaze on Sebrof, the man bowed slightly.

"President Sebrof, I've brought the good news that you need to hear"

Realizing which department the man has come from, Sebrof signals to Giana before she went over and started escorting Evelyn out of the office room. Since she's not a part of the humans again, there's no need for her to hear this good news.

Evelyn was curious as she tries to get out as long as possible, and it bears fruit.

"We finally found them! Not a tomb or remnants, but an actual living Ancient Humans!"

"W-What?!"
