At times like this, there is no room for mistakes and empathy.

Prof. K knows well that he would need to take out these Awakened if he doesn't want to risk failing the requirements he had to do for Rex, the stake is too much for him to even let any threat leave the place.

Despite not knowing the full story, Liliya also went into her battle stance.

Out of the time she spent inside the SCO and being a part of the green team, she knows that Prof. K is quite nonchalant and doesn't seem to care much about anything other than his inventions to further humanity's survival.

Seeing him acting like this is enough to tell her that this is very important.

Pssshh...

Looking at the Awakened through his crow mask that hides his tense expression, green gas started to gush out of his black robe and invade the surrounding space. On the other hand, the mark on Liliya's face also started to glow red in response to the upcoming fight.

But as the two were ready to attack, one of the Awakened raised his hands.

"Wait! We didn't come here with any ill intention!" the Awakened shouted, he sounded young.

Upon hearing this, Prof. K tilts his head a little in confusion before he said with a commanding, irrefutable tone, "Take off your mask and show me your face. If you come here in peace, do that, or else I'll kill you where you stand..."

Knowing the strength of the SCO messengers, the Awakened nodded their heads.

As commanded, the three Awakened take off their makes with a slow and careful movement before throwing them to the ground. Squinting his eyes, Prof. K scanned the Awakened's faces and frown when he doesn't recognize any of them or whom they are working for.

On the contrary, Liliya managed to recognize one that talked earlier.

Pointing at the Awakened at the center, she then utters, "You, you're Dray Burton, right?"

"Y- Yes, I've come here at the instruction of my father. We- We know that the war against the Executor is coming, and my father decided that he doesn't want to take any part of it. So we're hoping that you would also take us too, take us to Rex..." Dray explained while still keeping his hands up.

But this makes Prof. K frowns, "How do you know about this? Answer me, kid"

"One of our guild members in Beah City heard the people there talking about a teleportation formation and Dargena City that is said to belong to Rex Silverstar. And we decided that it's better to take our chances with Rex compared to with President Sebrof again" Dray replied, trying to be as crystal clear as possible.

It was the truth, he didn't lie one bit and tried to be transparent as his father told him to.

Upon hearing this, Prof. K could only hold his crow mask and shakes his head, he should've anticipated this kind of thing to happen. People in Beah City are definitely going to talk about this, and the word will spread to other places.

Nothing could prevent this, not even the governor can stop his people from talking.

Pausing for a moment, Prof. K then asked, "Who else knows about this?"

"I don't know for sure, but there are other families posted there. So it's safe to assume that there are more people that know about this" Dray replied, he also seemed to be worried about the other families.

Just then, all of them heard footsteps coming from the side.

Turning their heads to the side, all of them saw Giana walking out from the shadows of the forest. Her face is a mess and drained from the constant crippling worry and also crying. Even her clothes were torn in some places, a result of going berserk during the Storm Moon.

Albeit the Storm Moon still lingers in the sky, she doesn't seem to be in a berserk state.

It seems the Storm Moon energy right now is different than last night.

But even though that is the case, her eyes that are glowing with blue, stormy energy show that she's still under the influence of the Storm Moon, unlike Prof. K that has complete control. "Are you falling for his blatant trick, Prof. K? It's obvious that he's a spy sent here to sabotage the entire operation!" She screamed.

"If- If he succeeds, then we will fail the requirement, and humanity will collapse!" She added.

Giana is feeling extreme paranoia that stresses her out constantly, in her view, everyone has a looming desire to stop her from amending her mistakes. On top of that, knowing that the risk of failing is too great, she sent a sharp glare at Dray.

Realizing that it was Lady Giana, Dray and the other Awakened back up out of surprise.

Bloody hostility coming from Giana can be felt breezing their skin. If she wanted to, the three of them will be dead in a heartbeat. Even with the First Breath, none of them could defeat a suppressed ninth-rank realm Awakened.

"L- Lady Giana, I understand your worries. But we are simply trying to survive" Dray said.

Yet his words fell on deaf ears, "Shut your mouth, kid!" Giana shouted harshly.

Sensing the killing intent coming from Giana, Prof. K quickly stepped forward and intervenes. If he didn't do anything, the situation will soon escalate to a bad one. "I understand what you're worried about, Giana. But the situation has changed, we now know some of the other 25 Golden Crest Families know about what we are doing here. Surely, there will be bad apples amongst them"

Upon being shoved with reality clearly, Giana started panicking, her body started shaking.

Giana then approached Prof. K and reaches out her hand to clench his black robe, tears started coming out of her glowing eyes, drizzling down her messy face, "What do we do? What do we do...?"

Albeit unexpected, they have Dray to thank for coming here with that information.

Now Prof. K knows that the operation is not entirely safe even though he tries to be discreet. It was only the calm before the storm, the hateful 25 Golden Crest Families would soon be here to stop them.

Rex's sin of killing millions of people is enough to make others crazy.

Even if the Burton Family is reasonable, that doesn't mean it applies to the other families too.

In a way, there would definitely be families that view what they are doing here as nothing more than treachery. Abandoning humanity instead of joining the fight, is something that needs to be stopped and punished severely.

Pondering for a second, Prof. K then glanced at Dray once again.

"If you really want to come with the others to Dargena City, then quickly go tell your father to amass your people to come here and defend Emham Forest. We can't avoid this fight, so tell that to your father" Prof. K commanded.

Upon hearing this, Dray and the other Awakened nodded their heads.

Just before they could leave, Liliya suddenly came from the back and handed the head of a weird creature to Prof. K, "The portal inside the Cluster Domain has opened, and Dyrmir told me that Rex gave you another task to deliver this"

Clenching his jaw, Prof. K then look at Dray again, "Can you handle this delivery?"

"O- Okay, I definitely can. Tell me who do you want this to be delivered for?"

Meanwhile, in the other part of Ratmawati City.

Inside the UWO Main Office sitting on a desk was a woman, she puts down her phone as she got a phone call earlier that makes her heart thump faster. Looking around at her other colleagues, she stands up silently and leaves the place.

Coursing through the hall, the woman went into the lift and set the floor she was heading to.

A moment of silence inside the lift, the door was opened again as she reached the floor near the highest of the building. Stepping outside, she saw there's an Awakened standing on the side, and he stopped her from advancing.

"What's your purpose for being here?" the Awakened asked.

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled lightly, "I got some papers that needed to be signed"

Pausing for a brief five seconds to inspect the woman, the Awakened eventually puts his hand away and lets her pass, "Okay, you may go. But don't take too long or I'll be forced to escort you out"

Nodding her head, she quickly walks through the hall again and enters a room.

Opening the door, a topless brown-skinned man glanced over to the door and he seemed to be crying which is very unnatural for his muscular appearance. Seeing this, the woman bowed slightly and asked, "I'm sorry to disturb you, Sir Ryze. But is Sir Edward around?"

"N- No... he hasn't come back for days now" Ryze replied with a couple of hiccups. 

The woman's face scrunched up when she heard this, however, there was nothing else she could do and she would need to make do with Ryze only. "I'm here to deliver a message from Sir Daniel Burton," the woman said. "As a good courtesy, he wanted to let you know that there will be a portal opening to Dargena City, a city ruled by Rex Silverstar. If you want to go, then you have to make your way to Emham Forest"

After relying upon the message, the woman bowed again, "I'll be excusing myself then..."

Ryze on the other hand was stunned, he didn't expect to receive such news. Looking down at the bed for a second, he then gazes out of the window solemnly, "Edward, where did you go...?"

Meanwhile, on the upper floor of the UWO Main Office.

As Ryze has gotten that news, another man ran through the stairs like a madman as he felt like using the lift would only take more time. Upon arriving at the intended floor, he rushed out of the emergency exit, surprising the dozen Awakened guarding the floor.

"I- I'd like to meet with President Sebrof!" the man shouted, gasping for air.

Frowning for a second, the Awakened looks at the man in alert, "If you want to meet with the President, then you would need to make an appointment. President Sebrof is a busy man, and nobody could meet him suddenly like this"

"It's important! Please! This is something he has to know!" the man replied hurriedly.

Judging from the man's expression and the way he acted alone shows that it's really an emergency, yet the Awakened couldn't just let the man walk inside like that. It would be careless of them.

Gazing at each other, one of the Awakened decided to rely upon this situation.

Knocking on the president's door gently, the Awakened asked if he could come inside.

"President, may I come in?"

"Sure, come inside"

Albeit he was let inside, the Awakened frown when he heard the voice that answered him doesn't match that of President Sebrof. Turning the door handle, the Awakened entered the room and was surprised to find someone else sitting on the president's chair.

"W- Who are you?" the Awakened asked, surprised by the person's presence.

Shrugging his shoulders lightly, the bearded man puts down his legs from the table and replied, "President Sebrof is not available right now, so I'll be handling things for now. Go on, what is it that you wanted to say?"

"U- Uh, an employee wanted to speak, saying that it's an emergency" the Awakened replied.

The bearded man raises one of his eyebrows in confusion when he heard this. However, he eventually saved his hand nonchalantly, "If it's an emergency, then send him in" he instructed, telling the Awakened to bring the employee inside.

Nodding his head, the Awakened stepped out and bring the employee inside.

Upon seeing that the man sitting on the chair while closing both of his hands together was not President Sebrof, the employee was confused. But seeing that the Awakened is signaling for him to state the emergency, he decided to not think about it and comply.

"I've received a report that there's an act of treachery in Emham Forest"

"Treachery?" 

"Yes, there are gatherings of multiple cities there that wanted to leave our territory in response to the Executor taking over. Also, it's been said that this has something to do with the Traitor, Rex Silverstar..."

"Oh... this is interesting"
