Chapter 475 Contribution To The War
Chapter 475 Contribution To The War
Edward steps away from the door upon seeing Sebrof standing in front of the mansion's doorstep, he was surprised to see such a political figure visiting the mansion. No one in the entire Ratmawati City doesn't know who Sebrof is.
The man in front of him is not only a ninth rank Awakened but also the top president of the UWO making him the most influential and powerful person in the whole of Ratmawati City.
For many, looking at him up close is a blessing.
Without minding Edward's reaction, Sebrof walks inside the mansion before scanning his eyes around the mansion in interest, "I see Rex changed the mansion quite a bit, is it the throne?"
"Y-yes!", Edward replied stutteringly.
Even Tandu and Christine on the back widen their eyes upon seeing Sebrof. Despite being in the frontline and fighting the Supernatural as a military squad, they know this person that brings the air of absolute authority.
This just shows how influential and known Sebrof as the president of UWO.
After entering the mansion, Edward then hurriedly points at the sofa before he said, "Sir Sebrof, please have a seat and tell me the purpose of your visit", he also didn't forget to signal the maid to bring them some drinks.
Hearing this, Sebrof nodded his head and sat on the sofa.
Edward sits opposite Sebrof with a polite smile on his face trying to not make himself look bad in front of such a powerful person, he then opens his mouth, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ed-"
"Edward Rearta, working as a medic military personnel since early teens by the urge of your Uncle I believe. Met with Rex and also Kyle during a classified mission to destroy a Ghoul's Den and becomes the heroes of Dwight City. You've been Rex's best friend ever since"
"Yeah, I know who you are Edward", Sebrof added squinting his eyes.
Upon listening to Sebrof spreading out his entire history in a couple of seconds, Edward feels his throat dry but he kept the smile on his face, "What can I help you with sir Sebrof?", he asks.
"I'm searching for Rex, call him here", Sebrof replied taking an envelope from his suit pocket.
But even after a moment of waiting, Sebrof saw Edward didn't move a muscle and gives him a wry smile instead. This makes Sebrof frown, "Where is he? This matter is urgent"
"Rex is currently away dealing with some pressuring things, in the meantime, I'm responsible for the Silverstar Family until he's back. So if you don't mind sir Sebrof, what is this urgent matter you speak of?", Edward replied professionally.
Although he looks serious and calm right now, he's cursing this day.
Waking up this day he thought that it'll be a great day since it was the day he will reach the sixth rank realm, but who would've thought two major figures came to visit today. Both have urgent matters to tell Rex, and he's the one bearing all the burden right now.
Sebrof went silent for a moment, but he eventually sigh.
Putting the clean white envelope on the table in front of him, Sebrof then pushes the envelope towards Edward's table side making Edward looks at the envelope in confusion, "Inside there is an official issue for the Silverstar Family to contribute to the war"
"Contribute?", Edward mutters questioningly.
From the wording of Sebrof's sentence is already giving off a not-so-good vibe, and Edward catches this instantly, especially by saying something like an official issue and contribute.
Sebrof leans back on the sofa before he explained, "As the newest member of the 25 Golden Crest, the Silverstar Family is obligated to send some of their family members to contribute to the war. Exchanging the former Atkins Family spot has heavy responsibilities, and it's all due to the Silverstar Family"
Hearing this, Edward was at a loss for words but he quickly open the envelope.
Upon reading the envelope, Edward looks up at Sebrof with a frown, "500 fourth rank Awakened, 100 fifth rank Awakened, 10 sixth rank Awakened, and 1 seventh rank Awakened?"
"I'm sorry sir Sebrof but for the current condition of the newly establish-"
Before Edward can even finish talking, Sebrof already cuts his sentence and said nonchalantly, "Atkins Family is the top ten families, the Silverstar Family inherit that place and also its responsibilities"
"This much is non-negotiable, you either send the requirements or get revoked from the 25 Golden Crest. Of course, if that were to happen your beautiful mansion in sector 2 here will be confiscated by the UWO", he added hinting something.
Although Edward has never experienced talking with such a high-caliber man, Sebrof hints at it so clearly that even Edward understands instantly.
Sebrof basically said they didn't meet the impossible requirement, they will be forced to move.
Moving out of sector 2 is not a good option with the current tension between the Silverstar Family and the other families, Rex will be forced to stay here guarding his parents and other important people.
It's clearly shown that Sebrof is making them difficult, and Rex will not like this.
After saying that, Sebrof stands up buttoning back his fancy suit, and said, "If the core members of the Silverstar Family are willing to be sent to the battlefield then the requirements are not necessary, but picking the other option is also not bad. In fact, it's better than fighting on the frontlines"
"And what option is that, sir Sebrof?", Edward asks with a different tone.
Meeting with Sebrof firsthand makes him excited since he's a powerful person and many wanted to meet, but realizing his personality makes Edward lose all respect for him.
With a slight smirk, Sebrof then replied, "The other option is...:"
"Rex working under me of course, becoming an affiliate to the UWO and we'll help him reach the ninth rank realm. He said it himself that he has the potential to reach the ninth rank realm, and we have the resources to help him. That is a way better option don't you think?"
It makes Edward's face darkens upon hearing this, just like hearing about his parents' death.
But Sebrof didn't care at all as he excuse himself and left the mansion with wide strides, not even waiting for Edward to see him off or anything. Totally giving no face for Edward or even the Silverstar Family as a whole.
"Even Aldo has better manners than him", Christine looks at the door with a snort.
Tandu also nodded his head before he glance at Edward who is staying at his place in thought, "What are you thinking? I think you should notify Rex about this, he'll deal with that man"
"No...", Edward mutters with a frown.
Putting his clasped hands in front of him in thought, he then stands up with the envelope in his hand before he heads to the stairs, "I'm going to handle this myself", Edward said with a hint of sharpness in his voice.

Meanwhile, Back to the Delarosa Family Territory.
Adhara and Evelyn are nearing the actual Delarosa Family territory as they can already see a city in the far distance, they alongside Delta picked up their pace upon seeing this.
But when they are near, they saw a shadow leaping into the sky holding two Vampires.
Without even needing a second look, both of them realized that it was Rex covered with his kingly energy and still in his berserk state. Rex throws the two Vampires to the ground, and the impact can even be felt all the way on their spot.
It makes the ground tremble because of that, but it seems Rex is busy dealing with the Vampires as he doesn't realize Adhara, Evelyn, and Delta are heading toward him.
Or he simply doesn't care enough and wants to vent his bloodlust instead.
"We need to get there quickly or the civilians will be killed with that much power coming from Rex", Adhara mutters picking up her pace.
Hearing this, Evelyn also nodded her head while looking at the symbol on her palm.
The closer she got to Rex the hotter the symbol becomes, it makes her even more sure that she's the only one who can stop Rex right now. But somehow this makes her happy, 'I don't know what this symbol is, but I hope it means something', she thought secretly.
But just as he thought of that,
Swish!
Without even sensing the attack since it was so fast, Delta got hit from the side by somekind of weapon that catches all of them off guard. Adhara stopped and looks at Delta who got plunged to the side in surprise, "Delta! Evelyn!"
Adhara then went to them and finds that Delta got hit very hard. The side of her body is caved in and from touch, she can feel that Delta's ribcages are broken because of that hit.
Thankfully, Evelyn doesn't get hit as she only falls down alongside Delta.
Both of them looks up and saw a rotating weapon flying in the sky before it turns back and went to the attacker's hand, there are three Vampires with one of them holding a metallic sharp boomerang that hits Delta.
Upon seeing these Vampires, Adhara and Evelyn's expressions darkened.
From the blood aura they emitted and from how they dressed in such a fancy black and red robe, it's clear that they are from another Royal Family of the Vampire kingdom. Out of the three of them, the big Vampire in the middle is giving off the most threatening aura.
This big Vampire is at least eight or nine feet tall, he's a giant with long white hair.
Holding a mace that is the size of Adhara's body which should also be a powerful weapon, the red eyes typical of Vampires, and even a red triangle symbol bearing so much blood energy on his exposed chest.
Overall this Vampire must be the leader of the three, definitely in the seventh rank realm.
The big Vampires' sharp red eyes landed on Adhara before a frown can be seen on his face, it's probably because Adhara is in her Werewolf form, "Which family are you from? and why are you attacking the Delarosa Family?", he asks.
"Shouldn't you ask first before attacking us?", Evelyn replied angrily.
If these Vampires are not searching for a fight then they should've asked first instead of attacking first, it's common knowledge and these Vampires failed even to d that.
Adhara stands up baring her Werewolf form before she said, "Leave, this is not your problem"
"Werewolves stepping inside the Vampire territory without permission IS our problem, so call for your Alpha and let me have a word with him", the big Vampire said squinting his eyes warningly.
Cracking a smile, Adhara then mutters, "Our Alpha?"
"If you're searching for him, then he's right there. You're welcome to talk with him", Adhara points at the Vampire city that is currently burning from Rex's havoc there.
One of the Vampires with the boomerang then said, "Father, let's kill them now!"
"They attacked Delarosa Family without even notifying King Solomon or even other Royal Families, this is basically a declaration of war!", the Vampire exclaimed.
But this makes the big Vampire glare at him, "That's bold words, don't speak it lightly"
Hearing this, the Vampire with the boomerang grits his fangs grudgingly while glaring at Adhara. The big Vampire then glanced back at Adhara and said, "What's your problem with the Delarosa Family?"
"They kidnapped one of ours, so we destroyed their city in retu Adhara replied mockingly.
Although it's not like her to mock or even taunt the Vampires like this, the fact that they attacked Delta and hurt her badly and also Rex's emotion that she can feel clearly somehow makes her a bit temperament.
It's like the anger inside of Rex is crawling to the other pack members, and from the look of Evelyn, it seems she's also affected by this.
The big Vampires squint his eyes before he realized, "You're not from the Werewolf kingdom"
"You work with the stray Prince in the human territory!", the big Vampire points at Adhara and exclaimed in realization, his aura then tuns fierce realizing that they're attacked by a pack of unknown Werewolves not associated with the Scarlet Banes Kingdom.
With a quick movement, the big Vampire dashes at Adhara holding the mace in hand.
Seeing this, a smile appears on Adhara's face before she also dashes toward the big Vampire with the Duality Daggers in her hands. But she was surprised to see Evelyn also dashing at the big Vampire alongside her.
CLANG!!
Their weapons clashes against each other creating a spark and also a powerful shockwave.
But the struggle they entered shows that the big Vampire is quite stronger than them. With the blessing of the Wolf Moon both of their powers reaches the early seventh rank realm, and now this big Vampire matches the both of them easily.
It's clear that this big Vampire has the power in the mid-seventh rank realm or higher.
Exposing a huge grin on both of their faces as if they're excited to fight the big Vampire, Adhara and Evelyn's body slowly gets engulfed with their own respective fires. Adhara burns with violet flame while Evelyn burns with dark red fire.
The powerful heat that comes from the two of them raises the surrounding temperature, and even the big Vampire frown upon seeing this, "Fire elements? Both of you are shamans?"
"No... you're no shaman... just what are you? How in the Origin's name do Werewolves able to use fire element?!"
Upon hearing this, the grin on their faces bloomed even wider. In a union, the both of them then replied baring the full might of their auras, "We..."
"We're the Werewolves of the Silverstar Pack!"
BOOM!
