The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 149: Turning the Table Against Atkins Family

These people in front of Rex that are wearing white uniforms are very strong people, especially the woman that seems to be the leader of the group.

Rex already scans the three of them, and heʼs shocked by their powers.

The two guys beside the woman are a peak rank five Awakened, and theyʼre both Wind Elementalist just like the woman.

But the woman is the troublesome one, sheʼs an early rank six Awakened.

Rex has seen stronger Awakened than the woman like Vargas before, but he never sees a rank six Awakened fight.

He doesnʼt even know how an Awakened raise to rank six.

ʼThis is bad, they already catch up to usʼ, Rex thought.

This group of Awakened in front of Rex is certainly the one associated with the spellbooks Kyran stole, itʼs easy to guess because the three of them are Wind Elementalist.

With a straight face, Rex held Adharaʼs hand and walks towards the dining table.

In Rexʼs head, heʼs thinking how do they catch up so fast to no avail.

He pulls the seat for Adhara before he sits beside her, he then gestures the woman to sit in front of him, ”Please”, Rex said.

Seeing Rexʼs nonchalant expression, the woman frowns but she still sits in front of Rex.

The smell of the woman instantly pierce Rexʼs nose, the wind carried a woody scent of the woman towards Rexʼs nose.

Its smells instantly got remembered by Rex.

After sitting, the woman then repeats herself, ”I believe you have something that belongs to us, Rex Silverstar”

”What might that be?”, Rex said with a stoic expression, he already bought a transferral crystal from the shop.

Just when theyʼre talking, a waiter comes in with food in hand.

The waiter was shocked when he saw three unknown people sitting inside this booked room, he wanted to go out to talk to the manager but got stopped.

One of the guys appears beside him and prevents him from opening the door.

Looking at the waiterʼs scared expression, the guy smiles maliciously but Rex already signals to the waiter to put the food on the table.

The tension is rising as the waiter puts the food with trembling hands.

After putting the food on the table, Rex gesture the waiter to stand beside him.

The waiter obeyed Rexʼs gesture and stand beside him, his body is shivering as he looks down to his feet in fear.

Rex then proceeds to cut the steak in front of him and repeats himself, ”What might that be? Jane Atkins”

From the internet before, Rex finds the main family members of each family he suspected.

And from that research before, he saw this woman in front of him, Jane as the direct descendant of the Atkins Family.

Her hair is dark green like a tree leaves, itʼs a well-known natural trait from the Atkins family.

They are the ninth rank families and are a very powerful family.

Hearing this, Jane laughs sweetly.

Her cold piercing eyes then look at Rex, ”Donʼt play games with me, Where are the spellbooks you stole from us?”

Rex bites a slice of steak as if heʼs not being cornered, he chews the slice of steak with a surprised expression, ”What a tasty steak, Donʼt you think so?”

Adhara looks at Rex ghastly, she doesnʼt understand Rexʼs way of thinking.

Hearing this, Janeʼs face darkened as the guys beside her click their tongues, ”Iʼll ask you once again, Where are the spellbooks?”

Rex then raises his eyes to meet Janeʼs, ”You barge in here without even bother hiding your identities, arenʼt you afraid of getting exposed?”

”By a kid like you? I can kill you with a twist of my fingers”, Jane said arrogantly.

Rex scoffs, he shakes his head thinking how stupid a descendant of a high-ranking family can be.

Seeing this, Janeʼs anger boils like a volcano.

She grabbed the tableʼs edge and throw the table to the side roughly,

BAM!!

Adhara stutters as the table got flung crashing to the wall, it broke to pieces instantly.

But Rexʼs expression didnʼt change a bit, heʼs still staring at Jane with his stoic looks as if the act of intimidation by Jane is nothing.

Jane then stands up, ”We are from a family of a different dimension, you and your group of kids dig the wrong hole to play with”

While Jane is saying this, the aura behind her started to take shape.

Rex looks at the aura and realized that it is not an aura, itʼs more like some kind of different energy that resides inside Jane.

Itʼs like thereʼs another living being inside of Jane.

The energy started to take shape of a monstrous bird made of wind, it creates an illusionary image in front of Rex as it roars menacingly on top of hundreds of dead creatures.

Rex also stands up from his seat, heʼs looking at Jane and the bird calmly.

”If you donʼt tell me where you hide the spellbooks, I will bring hellʼs fury to your little group of kids and everyone around you that doesnʼt even understand the world youʼre entering”, Jane threatened as the monstrous bird on her back give a powerful pressure to the surrounding.

Adharaʼs got pressed to the ground as the seat she sat on break, she got pinned to the ground.

Rex on the other hand is the focus of the pressuring energy coming out of the monstrous bird, but to Janeʼs surprise, Rex didnʼt fall to his knees.

His expression didnʼt even change although inside, Rex is surprised.

ʼThat bird, is that what makes an Awakened enter rank six?ʼ, Rex asks the system.

Reading this, Rex then asks the system again, ʼThat bird and the fire serpent I will get from the quest, which one is strongerʼ

Hearing this, Rex smiles.

He got useful information from the encounter with the Atkins, he thanked them for that but he still has to get out of this alive.

Rex reaches to his pocket inside his tuxedo.

But just when his hands moved,

SHRING!!

Two swords already pointed at Rexʼs throat like a flash, the two guys on Janeʼs side move fast as they point their sword at Rexʼs neck.

Rex stopped for a moment before he slowly takes out his phone.

He then shows the picture of the box with the spellbooks in it and said, ”I got what you are looking for, I have three of your spellbooks”

Jane looks at the photo before her eyes fall on Rex again.

”My men accidentally took your spellbooks, we didnʼt intend to steal the spellbooks”, Rex said slowly.

Hearing this, Jane then commanded, ”So give it back!”

While saying this, thereʼs a playful smile plastered on her face.

Rex smiles mockingly, he looks at Jane and said, ”Unfortunately, Iʼm not that naive. If I give it back, you will kill me isnʼt that right?”

”I can just kill you right now and find your accomplices”, Jane said as he signals the two guys to kill Rex.

But then, Rex hurriedly intervenes, ”If I die, my accomplice will give the three spellbooks to the Reed Family. Thereʼs also one of my accomplices that will tell the UWO about the spellbooks, Shane Thompson made this book which means these are unlicensed spellbooks right?”

Jane widened her eyes in surprise, she canʼt believe that a brat like Rex thought all of this.

While Rex and Adhara are researching about the families in the library, Rex already thought many things about why these spellbooks are created.

He concluded that if what he assumes is correct, Atkins, Reed, and Granlor are the family behind this.

Thereʼs a high chance that a cold war is going on between them.

And by the rankings of said families, the Atkins and Reed are the closest.

If the spellbooks are for the Atkins Family, then if Rex threatened to give them to Reed Family the Atkins might be afraid because Reed can take over their position.

The spellbooks are very powerful, so they will bring a huge impact.

This is all just Rexʼs theory but seeing that Janeʼs troubled expression, heʼs surely not far off from the real thing.

Thatʼs just one thing he thought of, Rex also thought of an alternative if that doesnʼt work.

While heʼs surfing the internet about the high-rank families, he also stumbles upon a law created by UWO that each one of the 25 families can only have 1 unlicensed spellbook.

The other spell their members use needs to be officially stated, if not they will be sued and punished.

The UWO uses this law to control the power of each individual family, they canʼt just let them create a spell on their backs and not know about it.

It will be a disaster to the balance if that were to happen.

So these three powerful unlicensed spellbooks will certainly drag the Atkins down, they will be punished even if their family has greatly contributed to the war.

Rex saw the hesitant expression on Janeʼs, ”If you got caught, the direct descendant of the Atkins family will be sued for 50 years of prison. Considering youʼre the top 10 families, the sentence will be cut by half and if you use your connection youʼll probably get 10 years of prison”

”That is enough time for the Reed and the Granlor to surpass you, right?”, Rex said with a mischievous smile.

Janeʼs body trembles, Rexʼs expression makes her boiling in anger.

”Why donʼt you find out if Iʼm telling the truth or not? Iʼm at your mercy here”, Rex mocked.

His calm and stoic expression makes Jane even more hesitant.

The two guys that point their swords at Rex are looking at Jane for confirmation to kill Rex, but that confirmation never comes.

Jane then signals the two guys to stand down.

She then gritted her teeth unwillingly and said, ”What do you want?”

The two guys steps away from Rex, Adhara also got back on her feet as she saw all of this happened right in front of her.

Sheʼs amazed by Rex who can be calm and collected in front of such a crisis.

If sheʼs put in Rexʼs shoe, even if she knows all of this she will probably not be able to be as calm as Rex and be killed.

Rex and Jane stare at each other, the tension grows once more.

But this time, Rex is in the upper hand while Jane got cornered by Rexʼs statements.

Rex tidied his tuxedo as he checks if Adhara got hurt, his eyes then looks back at the group before he said, ”Thereʼs no point talking to you, I want my terms to be heard”

Hearing this, Jane looks at Rex in confusion.

”I want to talk to the boss”, Rex added.

Jane was taken aback by Rexʼs request, ʼHe wants to talk to father? A student like him has the guts to talk to my father?ʼ, Jane thought in surprise.

While looking at the stunned Jane, Rex held Adharaʼs arm.

The both of them then walk past Jane and her goons, Rex also didnʼt forget to stop beside Jane and said, ”When I said the boss I mean Wesley Atkins”

After saying that, Rex walks to the waiter.

Without batting an eye, he kills the waiter instantly by bursting his head.

ʼIʼm sorry, youʼre just in the wrong place and at the wrong timeʼ, Rex said in his heart as he leaves the waiterʼs corpse.

He already saw how the two guys looking at the waiter with malicious intent.

If he let them deal with the waiter, then the waiter will not die a painless death but rather a very painful one.

After doing all of that, Rex and Adhara leave the hall while Jane is frozen on her spot.
