Chapter 753 Silence Of The Leaders

Adhara looks at Rex's back that's getting further and further away in dismay, many thoughts appear inside her mind but none of them can explain the unexpected words that came out of his mouth.

'What did he mean by that...?' She frowns, she can feel that something is wrong.

Earlier she can see that Rex's emotional aura is burning with passion which makes the air around them heat up. But for a second there, right before Rex said his last sentence, she can see that it changed into a deep blue with a mix of green.

Just a moment before the kiss, she could feel the heat in the air around them due to Rex's burning passion, it was also depicted by the color of his emotional aura. But then, right before he uttered his last sentence, she saw a shift in his emotional aura.

It had changed from a vibrant red to a deep blue tinged with green.

Something that she was not expecting in the hot moment they had earlier, those colors mean sorrow or guilt. No matter how much Adhara thought about it, she doesn't know what makes Rex like this.

But then her eyes sparkled, 'Is it because of what I said earlier?' she thought.

When Rex asked her opinion about the newly built Dargena City that would be their home, she responds with an answer from her heart. For Adhara, everything is perfect as long as she was with him.

Nothing will faze her as long as they are together, close to each other.

Remembering her own answer, she suspects that it has something to do with that which makes Rex like this. But she can't quite connect the two, 'Should I be worried about this...?' she thought while still gazing at the castle's entrance which is now already closed again.

Ever since the tragedy with the Atkins Family, Rex has been truthful to her.

It lasted for quite some time but there seems to be another secret about him that she didn't know, and that sparks some concern inside of her which greatly troubled her. 'No matter what it is, I need to find out about it'

Gazing at the castle's entrance, her eyes flash with conviction before she turns away.

Ratmawati City, Sector 2.

Many Awakened from all ranges of age can be seen filling the entire street with pale faces, they are currently rebuilding back the buildings of sector 2 using the best of their abilities and haven't even taken a rest for a couple of days.

Their pale faces depicted the exhaustion they suffered from overworking.

Although the regular people are trying to help as much as they can, the buildings inside Sector 2 are not made with regular materials like those in Sector 3 and Sector 4. It's a tougher material, and obviously heavier.

Because of that, regular people can only help minimally and support the Awakened.

It was not an uncommon sight for the Awakened to succumb to sheer fatigue that builds up from tirelessly working to fix the entire sector that should've been nearing finish if not for the sudden force that had arisen from the middle of the sector, giving birth to a robust and towering castle.

Even until this moment, there's no official statement from the UWO regarding the castle.

Not even the FAA or SCO commented on the castle leaving the rest of the citizens completely blind, there are many theories birthed due to that which doesn't help to appease the mass at the very least.

Knowing the situation that wouldn't stop escalating, Brigitta has taken measures on her own.

Brigitta aside from tending to the overbearing entity that is birthed due to their negligence has also been roaming about in sector 2 to converse with the people, listening to their complaints in the hope of keeping peace amongst them.

For a ninth-rank realm Awakened to do this, the citizens are clearly touched.

Although that is the case, it's only a matter of time before the questions began to appear once again which couldn't be suppressed by Brigitta's kindness. And if that were to happen, it would've been really bad for humanity.

Standing at the corner of the street were two men clad in white robes with blue linings.

One of them gazed at the condition of the entire Sector 2 from underneath the hood covering his head, the man gritted his teeth as he seems to feel bitter about the situation. Many suffered not knowing why they have suffered.

With bitterness inside of him, the man glanced in the castle's direction.

Due to how overbearing the castle suddenly appeared with gleaming grandeur at the center of Sector 2, its peak can be seen from everywhere inside Ratmawati City. It's a sign of status and power, yet nobody knows to whom it belongs.

But the man seems to be one of the few that know the owner of the castle.

Not wishing to linger around to witness this hard condition, the man spun around and began walking in the opposite direction, avoiding eye contact with the Awakened along the way followed by his comrade on the side.

Everything went smoothly until an individual stepped on their paths, blocking their way.

"Where do you think you're going...?" the individual said questioningly.

Even though the two men were keeping their heads down, they recognized the voice that comes from the individual blocking their way. "Don't get in our way, Giana. I'm tired of not doing anything. We're going to find President Sebrof, he's responsible for this so he needs to take responsibility"

"Don't be reckless, it's not the time for you to meet with President Sebrof" Giana replied.

Looking at Edward and Ryze that are outside of their compound and in disguise, Giana can already guess that the two have heard about the demand from the Executor. It's sickly, yet they can't do anything but obey.

Nobody in the entire Ratmawati City can defy the request of the Executor, not even one.

Upon hearing this, a steely glimmer passed through Edward's eyes as he lifted his head to meet with Giana's gaze. "Not the right time...? Look around you, these Awakened were building Sector 2 of their own volition. But that thing disregarded their efforts and destroyed it for the second time without any particular reason aside from thinking nothing of them. On top of that, he requested something so immortal that you all followed without a second thought!"

It was at this moment, Edward explode the anger inside of him.

Although they already attempted to forbid the Executor from waking up as President Sebrof initially planned, that was all drained away thanks to the Awakened who is a part of the reinforcement President Sebrof requested.

Giana knows exactly what he was feeling, and she too feels this situation is very wrong.

Even though she wanted to encourage Edward, he simply doesn't know the full extent of the situation. "President Sebrof wanted to fix the situation, but there's simply nobody that can take on the Executor. Even with the Head of Elpida Alliance, who is the strongest Awakened, President Sebrof is not really sure whether he can defeat the Executor"

"One wrong move, and it's not going to cost only this city. But the entire Elpida Alliance!"

Such a stake at hand definitely requires immense finesse, hard decisions would eventually need to be made. But Edward doesn't seem to care one bit, clouded in anger, "I don't care what President Sebrof is going through, but he needs to address this right now"

Without wanting to converse any longer, Edward and Ryze walk past Giana.

Although it's clear that Edward and Ryze are not going to stop, Giana quickly stopped them by grabbing Edward's arm, "Okay, I understand." She said before biting her lower lip in thought, trying to find the best possible action they can take.

Giana doesn't want Edward to search for President Sebrof because he's currently unstable.

Realizing that the trump card that he was depending on turned into a catastrophe, it definitely caused a great impact on President Sebrof's mentality and that alone makes it unsafe to be near him.

Pondering for a moment, Giana then got an idea, "How about I asked Rex for help...?"

"Since the Executor is an immediate threat to every force including him and the Supernaturals, he would definitely be willing to join forces with us in taking down the Executor" she added expectantly.

But this makes Edward frowns, "It's useless, he wouldn't want to work with us"

With the current relationship between them and Rex, there's no way that he would want to join forces with them. It's simply hopeful thinking, "Moreover, what can we provide for him in exchange? We don't have anything to help"

"No, we have something in exchange. We have Brigitta" Giana replied with a light smile.

Edward's face lit up with sudden understanding. Brigitta, being within the circle of the Executor likely had access to information about the Executor that no one else did. Information that could be traded in exchange for joining Rex's side.

Out of everyone, they knew that Rex is the only one that can potentially win.

Not too long ago, Brigitta said that to them as she saw with her own two eyes that Rex managed to push the Executor back, a feat that no one has ever achieved aside from him. And that shows his potential.

As they realized this, the plan started to become feasible until a problem arises.

"Okay, seeking air from him is possible. But how can we slip past the Great Barricade without the Executor detecting you since you are an Awakened at the ninth-rank realm? Moreover, where can we locate Rex in the Supernatural territory?" Edward inquires, there were still many questions to be mulled over.

But Giana doesn't seem to be troubled by these questions, she has an answer in mind.

Gazing at the Executor's castle in the distance, she exposes a grin showing that she's confident in her answer, "Although the Executor has a wide span of senses, we can take advantage of his prideful nature. Going out of the Great Barricade unnoticed would be easy because the Executor sees a ninth-rank realm Awakened as an ant..."

Upon hearing this, Edward widened his eyes. He feels mixed feelings about this.

On the other side, this is good for them as that means Giana can come and goes without attracting the Executor's attention. On the other hand, it's quite terrifying to think that the Executor thought nothing of a ninth-rank realm Awakened.

"As for searching for Rex, we'll just need to make him find us instead" Giana added.

Meanwhile, near the Tigerman race capital city.

Adhara landed right in front of the castle without hiding her aura whatsoever, she doesn't seem to want to hide her presence in order to meet with King Samobas as Rex ordered her to do earlier.

Witnessing such monstrous energy, the Tigerman guards on the wall were taken aback.

Slowly raising her gaze to look at the Tigerman guards, Adhara finds that even though they were surprised, they also don't seem to turn hostile to her presence. 'It seems King Samobas really did keep the end of his deal like Rex said'

If King Samobas didn't, the Tigerman guards would've turned hostile at her sight.

Especially since Adhara is not in her regular form, but in her Werewolf form instead, showing clearly to the Tigerman guards that she was a part of the Silverstar Pack family. It was obvious due to the fire sizzling around her body.

No Werewolf has an affinity to fire, and this sight would've been weird for them.

But there's a saying that was not too long ago birthed, it spreads to many Supernatural races that know the existence of the Silverstar Pack. And that is any Werewolf that has weird powers, then it must be from the Silverstar Pack.

"I am the Female Alpha of the Silverstar Pack, and I'm here to meet with King Samobas"

Upon hearing this, the Tigerman guards exchange glances out of nervousness. Without waiting for too long, they then open the gate reluctantly and escort Adhara through the street, heading to the castle at the center.

Just as she nears the castle, she finds King Samobas is already waiting for her outside.

"King Samobas, I'm here as a messenger from the Alpha" Adhara said, her eyes then sparkling with a peculiar light before she continues, "My presence here should be enough of a message for you. It's time, King Samobas..."
