The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 228 Convincing The SCO

Just when the sun was about to go down, Rex and the others arrived at Devan's building which is now become the SCO's building.

The building is still the same, and the name of the building also stays the same.

'Future Armoral' sign can be seen plastered on the top of the building, and the place is the same as the last time Rex went here with Kyran and Edward.

"What are we doing here again?", Edward asks in confusion.

Hearing this, Rex glanced at Adhara for a moment before he went inside the building.

After Rex went inside the building, Adhara looks at Edward before she said, "Let's talk in a cafe, it's quite shocking news so be ready"

They then went to a nearby cafe while waiting for Rex.

The three of them went inside the cafe and sit on a seat beside the window.

It's already getting darker and the workers from the office beside the cafe started to come out, but thankfully it didn't get too crowded.

Edward sat in front of Adhara as they put down the coffee they ordered on the table, Kyran was also with them and he was sitting beside Edward.

Because of Rex's formal outfit, the others also try to match him.

Adhara wears a claret evening dress that matches her wavy hair, the dress has an open back that exposes her soothing skin and a long V-neck in front.

She attracted any man's eyes just from a glance of her.

Her eyes then landed on Edward before she leans closer, "Rex is a member of the SCO", she whispers lightly while cautiously looking around.

Hearing this, Edward choked on his coffee bursting the coffee out of his mouth.

Some of the coffee falls to the maroon blazers that he wore as he quickly rubs it with tissue, but his eyes are still fixated on Adhara trying to see if Adhara is messing with him.

But from her serious expression, Edward leans back knowing that what she said is not a lie.

"I think the building here is one of their quarters, and Rex is probably talking with them right now", Adhara added while sipping her coffee.

Edward snaps out of his daze before he asks with a frown, "Since when did Rex becomes their member?"

Adhara also shakes her head because she also didn't know, Rex manage to keep it from them.

Edward then looks at the building and saw the Future Armoral sign in front.

He then takes out his phone and started typing,

"What are you doing?", Adhara asks seeing Edward typing on his phone.

Edward then said while keep focusing on his phone, "Future Armoral is a tech company focusing on military equipment, they have already started research on plasma guns for a few years but are still in the testing process"

"Lower your voice down, there are people here", Adhara reminded while looking around.

While they were talking, Kyran didn't listen to them as he is looking around in a bored manner before he decided to close his eyes.

From the subtle glowing aura from his body, it seems that he's meditating.

"It's the military's company, so there's no way that UWO didn't find out about this", Edward said while kept scrolling on his phone.

But then suddenly,

Edward's hand suddenly stopped before his eyes fixated on something in his phone, he then turns his phone towards Adhara before he said, "The owner just changed recently, so something must've happened"

Meanwhile,

Rex went to the receptionist that he met before,

The woman on the receptionist's desk is still the same, "Excuse me, I'm wanted to meet with the Green Messenger"

"Have you got an appointment?", the woman asks politely.

Rex shakes his head, but when the woman was about to deny him, "I'm one of his and if you wanted to say that he's not here then save it because I can sense him from here"

Hearing this, the woman was at a loss for words.

She then smiles politely before she guides Rex to the Green Messenger.

They walk to a lift but this lift is not the same as last time, this one is located far from the crowd and it looks well hidden.

Two guards can be seen guarding the lift,

Rex scans both of the guards and finds that they're both a strong sixth rank gifted, 'For them to be guarding this place means the SCO value this place', Rex thought.

The two guards glanced at Rex before they nodded their heads.

After passing the two guards, the receptionist signaled for Rex to get inside the lift.

Rex walks inside the lift calmly with confident steps, and as soon as the lift door closes the lift started moving but Rex can hardly feel the movement.

It surprises him because he should be able to sense what's happening to his surrounding.

But the lift's movement is so subtle that he can't sense anything, he didn't know if the lift went up, down, or even to the side.

Ting!

The lift door opens slowly revealing the scene in front of Rex.

Upon looking at the scene, Rex widens his eyes in surprise although he already can somewhat guess that this kind of place is definitely where the Green Messenger will be.

He steps out of the lift and looks around in awe,

The place he arrived in looks like a lab but a more advanced lab than he has ever seen, almost anything that moves here is an automated robot.

Rex can see different kinds of mutated animals parts around this place,

Different colors of substances are lined neatly on a white table with many tools that Rex has never seen, it's a bizarre place, to say the least.

There's a man wearing a mask in the middle of the lab, and it's none other than the Green Messenger or Prof. K.

"Say your report and be on your way", the Green Messenger said.

While he's saying this, he didn't even turn to look at Rex as he kept constructing some kind of pistol that looks very different than normal pistols.

The one he's making is as big as a submachine gun, and it is black in color.

Rex can feel somekind of aura emitted from the pistols and he was dazed by it when suddenly, "What's wrong? Tell me your report", the Green Messenger said but this time he turns his body around.

Under the Green Messenger's gaze, Rex straighten his back and said, "The energy came from an insectoid creature that is clearly a cursed creature, and it helped me fight the blue demons and left me after the demons are killed"

Hearing this, the Green Messenger nodded his head.

"What happened after the creature left?", the Green Messenger asks before he goes back to constructing the black gun.

Rex recalled that night before he replied, "Then two powerful Awakened that just wiped the blue demons in Benrith City came to Beah City"

"Then wouldn't that mean the creature left after sensing the Awakened?", the Green Messenger asks while lifting the black pistol and inspecting it.

With what being said, Rex just realizes that maybe the creature did leave because of them.

'But why did they help me kill the demons then? Any cursed creature should've attacked any living being without differentiation but that creature helped me', Rex thought.

Looking at Rex's confused expression, the Green Messenger waves his hand.

He wanted to dismiss Rex but Rex stayed on his spot, "Sir, I actually come here for another matter that I think I need to discuss with you"

Hearing this, the Green Messenger signaled for him to talk.

"You know about the Supernatural that manages to breach the Great Barricade, the riots, and also the AoL. Humanity needs to stand together to fend off the Supernatural, at least to get rid of the strongholds", Rex explained while inspecting the Green Messenger's movement.

But then, "No we can't, I appreciate your advice now you can leave", the Green Messenger said nonchalantly making Rex stunned on his spot.

"But the Supernatural is knocking on our doorsteps, I thought that the SCO wanted to beat the Supernaturals", Rex said in confusion.

All this time he knew that the SCO hates the Supernatural more than the Awakened.

If the SCO's motive was to bring down the Awakened, then Rex should've been tasked to become a spy of some sort for them.

But he never got any of tasks of that kind,

He only got missions to deal with the Supernatural, so the priority is obvious for the SCO.

Hearing this, the Green Messenger puts down the black gun and shakes his head.

He then slowly turns his back and faces toward Rex, the mask covers the Green Messenger's face and Rex didn't know what kind of expression is under that mask.

After a deep breath, the Green Messenger said, "It's not that we don't want to, but this conflict happened because it's what they want"

"Do you mean?", Rex said with a frown,

The Green Messenger then said with a scoff, "Yes! UWO is the one who doesn't want to band together because of their holier than thou motto"

This news makes Rex widen his eyes in shock.

Based on what he remembers, the SCO's reputation is very bad, and almost every Awakened bad-mouthed them because of every news that came up about them.

But who would've thought that the UWO is the one creating the conflict in the first place.

'Although he looks believable, he can still lie about this too', Rex thought before he sigh.

He then said, "What if I can convince the UWO to band together to get rid of the strongholds? Will the SCO accept it too?"

Hearing this, the Green Messenger looked at Rex unmoving.

Both of them stares at each other for a moment before the Green Messenger said, "Even if I want to, the king will not want to do it after what they did"

Rex approaches the Green Messenger with steady steps,

"We're at war, the Supernatural find a way to use other races' spell and they're getting stronger while we get further separated. If we can't band together then the Supernatural will be the one on top, not the UWO and not the SCO", Rex said seriously.

Liliya already reported back to the Green Messenger, and she definitely told him about the findings of the Vampires in Qrila City.

So the Green Messenger is aware of that.

The strongholds of the Supernatural will get stronger with each passing day.

If the strongholds didn't get dispatched earlier, then it's the same as letting the Supernatural devise another plan to invade further into human territory.

And Rex realized that which is why he decided to act.

Both of them went back to staring at each other in silence, the determination in Rex's face can be clearly seen.

He already resolved himself and he won't back down.

"Fine, I'll talk to the king about what you said so make sure you manage to convince the UWO about this agreement", the Green Messenger finally said.

Hering this, Rex's expression turns softer as he tries to hide his delight.

He then said, "You made the right choice sir"

"Don't get happy yet, I have a feeling that the king will request you do something in order for him to accept your proposal", the Green Messenger said while taking the black gun.

Rex nodded his head because it's still the realm of his expectation.

But then suddenly,

BAM!

The Green Messenger suddenly fired the black gun he just finished constructing, it was sudden and it caught Rex off guard.

Rex stumbles as he held his stomach that got shot,

He looks down and saw the glistering silver bullet piercing his stomach, and a transparent substance leaked out of the bullet.

<Direct Contact With Silver! The user's stats have been decreased by 40%!>

<The user will suffer immense pain>

<Regenerative Ability is blocked until removing the Silver!>

A couple of notifications appeared in front of Rex's eyes as he fall to one knee, his head is feeling dizzy and the pain makes his veins bulge.

Rex looks back at the Green Messenger in confusion,

But the Green Messenger only looks at him a couple of meters away blankly, as Rex puts his finger in the wound on his stomach and takes out the Silver Bullet.

He ignores the painful sting upon touching the Silver Bullet as he takes the bullet out.

Cling! Cling!

The Silver Bullet falls to the ground making a clinging sound, Rex then looks back at the Green Messenger in horror, 'Did he know?!'
