The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 631: When Push Comes to Shove

Evelyn was led into a hall before reaching a big door at the end of the way.

Professionally the secretary opens the door slightly before stepping to the side, thereʼs a hint of anger and disgust on her face but she hides it well enough to the point of almost unseeable. If not for Evelyn having a lot of experience in reading people, she may not be able to notice that.

With the door slightly opened, she walked inside and instantly saw Sebrof sitting at his desk.

Although she has always viewed Sebrof as someone untouchable who sits at the pinnacle of the entire humanity inside Ratmawati City and beyond, he now doesnʼt bring that kind of bearing anymore.

Sitting at his desk, President Sebrof has multiple bandages and bruises peeking out of his shirt.

None of the people inside Ratmawati City has seen Sebrof in this state from the first time he ascends as the president of the UWO, this is a sight that many would find surreal as someone like him shouldnʼt be in this state as heʼs the face of humanity.

On top of that, Lady Giana is also standing beside him, wearing a troubled expression

Giana was in the same condition as Sebrof as they both seems to be very injured not too long ago, but hers was more grievous as half of her face is in dismantle which stain her supposed beautiful face. Both of them are ninth-rank realm Awakened so the state they were in before should definitely be way worst since they should be able to heal themselves by utilizing arcane mana.

”Come and sit”, Sebrof said lightly, pointing at the chair in front of him.

Upon hearing this Evelyn nodded her head before she sat down, her eyes still on Sebrof.

Pausing for an uncomfortable amount of time with his eyes locked on Evelynʼs eyes, Sebrof then finally opens his mouth again, ”I expect you know the incident outside, this tragedy that befall us is very unfortunate”

”Tell me the reason why Rex did this”, Evelyn cut him short, asking the direct question.

Although she has always been on humanityʼs side as she was born here and raised by her parents here, she was not a fool to believe that Rex suddenly went berserk like this without a reason, not when heʼs always been stable for the longest time except during the full moon.

Even during the full moon, heʼs handling it pretty well thus there must be a reason for this.

Sebrof takes a deep breath which heaves his chest up before he replied, ”Humans are bound to make mistakes, but we always have the ability to change. What we did is nothing but an impulsive action and misund-”

”What did you do...?”, Evelyn asks again, squinting her eyes sharply.

Just as he was about to continue what he was saying, Giana suddenly intervenes and cut him from the side, ”It was an honest mistake, one of my trusted Awakened mistakenly killed both of his parents impulsively”

”Weʼre done here.”, Evelyn immediately stood up intending to leave the room.

Hearing what Giana said alone makes her entire blood boil as that kind of mistake is not something that can be considered light, they killed Rexʼs parents and that explains why he went absolutely berserk and decimated Ratmawati City.

Only a demented person would consider killing someoneʼs parents a light mistake.

Sebrof stood up from his seat seeing Evelyn was about to leave, ”This is not over until I say it is!”

”No, youʼve done one grave mistake and you need to figure out how to deal with it yourselves”, Evelyn replied before reaching for the door handle. But then out of nowhere, her hand got electrocuted by red lighting which makes her frown.

Looking at the door, she saw a barrier made of red lightning has completely blocked it off.

Following that, an authoritative tone came from her back, ”I said, this meeting is not over until I say it is. What do you expect from the entire humanity when they learn that Rex Silverstar is a Werewolf? Did you not think something like this is bound to happen? If only he would tell us sooner then this wouldnʼt have happened”

”Are you saying that you killing his parents is his fault?”, Evelyn looked back sharply.

Upon hearing this Sebrof raises one of his hands lightly and replied, ”No, I didnʼt mean it like that, Iʼm just saying that we couldʼve prevented this. But now that it has come to this, Iʼm just asking you to listen to what Iʼm about to say”

Without any intention of sitting, Evelyn crosses her arms in front of her and raises her eyebrows.

”Go on, Iʼm listening”, she said shortly.

Sighing to himself, Sebrod then finally continues, ”Because of that mistake, Rex would definitely come back to kill Giana and I canʼt let that happen. Not if I want humanity to keep on standing, all Iʼm asking from you is to be here and try to convince him when he came back. Edward and Ryze are still here, you could be here with them”

”Do I even have a choice?”, Evelyn mutters with her squinted eyes and a smirk.

Just from her expression alone makes Sebrofʼs face darken as she approaches him slowly and continues, ”You seize the chance for me to tell my parents about what I am by telling them first, and you brought them to come to pick me up just to lure me here, and now both of them are here...”

”I know you wonʼt do anything to me, but I also know that my parents are here not just for show”

As if he was read like an open book, Serbof can only try to keep his stoic expression. Evelyn realized that it was not an option for her to stay here, it was either she stay or Sebrof would do something to her parents and further break their relationship.

Pausing for a bit, Sebrof then replied, ”I have to make my guarantees...”

”By doing this?! Blackmailing me so Iʼll stay here and become your shield against Rex?!”, Evelyn snapped as her anger started to peak, she was not expecting the meeting with Sebrof to go this way at all.

Clenching his jaw, Sebrof also becomes angry, ”Do you know how much Awakened died today?”

”Many of our future generation of Awakened died today! Even some of the prominent families got completely wiped out, they are all dead! Dead! Not to mention the sky-high citizen casualties. Rex has put me in this tight spot, Iʼm the leader of humanity and I need to make guarantees to keep humanity standing so youʼre going to stay!”, he added as his tone increasingly get louder.

Shaking his head with both of his fists against the desk, Sebrof puts his head down briefly.

Everything that happened this day was total chaos, bad news after bad news came from all directions which are all asking him for answers. In the years of Ratmawati Cityʼs life, this is the most devastating situation it has ever been in.

Itʼs not easy for everyone, especially Sebrof that needs to fix everything.

Taking a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down, Sebrof then said, ”We only have five ninth-rank realm entities including the SCO king, it would take three of us to completely take down Rex. Just stay and help us, Evelyn...”

Upon hearing Sebrofʼs tone which is close to a pleading tone, Evelyn seems troubled.

”I may be a Werewolf but I donʼt want humanity to perish alongside my parents, Iʼll help you convince Rex in taking another route of revenge. But this is not the way to go, Sebrof... let me and my family go”, Evelyn leans her face forward and whispers.

Just as she said that Giana put her hand on Sebrofʼs shoulder, ”Itʼs okay...”

With that, she looks back at the door and finds the red lightning barrier disappearing.

Sebrof finally caved in under the persuasion of Evelyn and Giana, he dissipate the red lightning barrier before Evelyn nodded inwardly and said, ”Thank you, Sebrof. Iʼll guarantee that you make the right choice”

But when Evelyn was about to reach the door, a voice suddenly stopped her again.

”Give us a signal if you donʼt manage to convince Rex, I donʼt want to do this but I have no other choice. If you fail to convince him, Iʼll need to ask the other eight pillar cities from other continents for help. Iʼll give you time but if push comes to shove, Iʼll prioritize humanityʼs future and take Rex down seriously”, Sebrof said from the back before sitting back down.

Ratmawati City is not the only strong city that governs against the Supernatural.

Scattered all over the world are eight pillar cities that are the core foundation of the Elpida Alliance, they kept communication and trade through the UWO organization. Major events are shared, just like the fact that the Supernaturals can use other racesʼ spells that Ratmawati City figured out months ago.

Or the fact that the Supernatural can turn humans into one of them, all are shared equally.

Most leaders from the eight pillar cities are quite independent and some are too prideful to ask for help from other eight pillar cities when in dire need, but reinforcing other major cities in need happened once in a while.

At the end of the day, they are all humans so they need to work together to fight the Supernatural.

Upon hearing this Evelyn sighs to herself before she opens the door and leaves.

Just as she left the room her eyes caught sight of a person in the hallway alongside the secretary that escort her earlier still standing by the door. It was Edward who seems to be waiting for her to finish, standing by the window and looking out at the ruined scenery.

Edward glanced at Evelyn when he heard the door being opened.

”Iʼve heard the commotion inside, I hope they didnʼt hurt you”, Edward mutters and approaches.

Chuckling lightly while looking at Edward, Evelyn sizes him up wearing the UWO uniform while keeping a distance away from him, ”Donʼt ask as if you care. Rexʼs parents are killed and youʼre here defending them? You are even wearing their uniform, is that really how a friend who went through so much with him should act?”

”I care, Evelyn. This is not what you think it is...”, Edward replied with a frown.

But Evelyn then immediately added coldly, ”Lest youʼre here to assassinate Giana, then I donʼt see how that would change my view of you right now. What is the term to describe you... Oh! I know! Isnʼt it a fake friend?”

”Imagine your families are killed, and Rex did the same thing as you. How would you feel?”

Feeling a bit hurt from what she just said, Edward can only exhale roughly.

”Rex is confused, if he did this heʼll definitely regret it later on. On top of that, his own mother doesnʼt want him to seek revenge again, heʼs already lived a revengeful life, thereʼs no need for more of it”, he said, trying to defend himself from Evelynʼs accusation.

As if she just heard a joke, Evelyn laughs sweetly.

Casting one last look at both of her parents that are looking at her from the side, Evelyn walks past Edward before she stopped parallel to him and whispers, ”You may be right, his mother might not want him to be like this. But living his life, thatʼs not for you to decide...”

With that being said, Evelyn walk past him and leave the room again with a loud bang of the door.

In just a moment, Evelyn enters the room where her parents were before.

Looking at her parents that are still sobbing and crying, Evelyn smiled lightly before she bowed a bit and said, ”Iʼm going to leave Ratmawati City now, Iʼm saying this to you just out of respect if you still care, of course. Say my farewell to Kevin and Luke, until we meet again...”

Evelyn bid her goodbye before leaving the room once again, she doesnʼt belong here anymore.

None of the people even her own family would be okay with the fact that sheʼs a Werewolf and also Rexʼs Luna, itʼs better to leave right now and joins Rex and the others, ʼSigh... Iʼm now blind about the future, Iʼm just wondering what heʼs thinking right now. How is this going to play out?ʼ

Rex is the only thing on her mind right now as she left the UWO office with wide strides.

Hello! Author here!

Just asking if my beloved readers are going to be interested if my next novel would be a prequel inside Rexʼs world, maybe another person from the other major cities on other continents? Having a system of other Supernatural races? Going on revenge again or maybe another uptake?

What would you think about that? Love to see your thoughts about it. Cheers!
