The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 975 Beyond My Concern

Chapter 975 Beyond My Concern

"Are you sure you're going to let him get away right now?" 

"Yes, it's not the time yet"

"We might not have a better opportunity than this in the future, is this really okay?'

Standing in front of the quarter were the Executor and Brigitta, both were watching Rex rushing in a panic toward his quarter after his meeting with Gistella. It was obvious that Gistella had done what she needed to do, and the plan was a success.

But even without witnessing this, the Executor could already tell that it was a success.

Appearing before his eyes was a magical blue panel.

He saw this panel the first time when he met with Rex and ended up in a fight, and now, he could see this blue panel again, informing him that he was targeted by the System Relaying Bet Quest, where winner takes all.

It was so exhilarating to see that the Executor couldn't hide his smile anymore

Now he has the chance to obtain the ultimate power.

'From what I remember, this System is the power that made Father very powerful. He relied on it to create me and my brothers too. If I win, If I gain this System, will I be able to become as strong as him...?' the Executor wondered, his future prospect looked promising.

With him gaining the System, nobody would be able to oppose him, even his brothers.

The Executor turned around as Rex disappeared into his quarters, and soon after, his entire presence vanished completely. "This is not the opportune moment, it's the Hare Full Moon—the third most strongest moon for Werewolves, trailing only behind the Super Moon and the Blood Moon. Striking now would only be a foolish move"

Brigitta looked at the Executor's back with a questioning frown on her face.

Curiosity loomed inside her head.

'Never have I witnessed such an extreme reaction from Rex, not even when the Executor awakened, he was panicking. What could the Executor have done to induce such panic in him?" She wondered, intrigued by the mystery that had shaken Rex to his core.

However, she would probably never know that the Executor is not really a talker.

Glancing to the side, she went ahead in a direction.

In a moment, she scoured the entire encampment which was quite surprised at the sudden howl from Rex, and didn't find who she was looking for. 'Huh... The kid is also gone, that last howl must be a signal to escape'

Despite finding it a waste for Ryze to still be stubborn, there's nothing she can do about it.

Brigitta went to Rex's quarter leisurely.

Entering the quarter, she surveyed the surroundings at ease. Her eyes then landed on the bed in the center, covered completely by a veil, "Mavenna, Rex is gone already. It's time for you to return to your cage" However, she was met with silence and found it weird that the space was vacant. "Mavenna...? Come out immediately, or I shall report this to the Executor"

Finding yet no answer, she quickly went over to the bed and pulled the veil to the side.

It was at that moment, her eyes widened completely.

"She's not here? Where did she go?" Brigitta questioned and quickly rushed outside.

Navigating the vicinity, she sought the guards assigned to monitor Rex's quarter including Ryze and Mavenna. Perplexingly, they eluded her notice, she couldn't find them anywhere. However, her focus shifted to the neighboring tent, zipped shut, drawing her attention.

Upon opening the tent, she frowned and bit her lower lip.

Inside were the guards she was looking for, all of them were sleeping peacefully.

But they were not slacking off as they were also dreaming pleasantly, reaching into the air to squeeze something or even mimicking sexual acts, which only leads Brigitta to one possible scenario that instantly comes to mind.

"Useless good for nothing!" Brigitta cursed, kicking a guard in sheer frustration.

Obviously, this is very bad for them.

Placing her hands firmly on her waist, she looked around with a troubled expression, "While our attention was fixed on Rex, she exploited the opportunity to flee. Damn it, the Executor would be furious about this. But he's the one who gave those instructions, so he shouldn't be excessively angered, considering it's mostly his responsibility"

"No..." Brigitta massaged her forehead. "Knowing him, I would be blamed for this. Damn it!!"

Meanwhile, in the Executor's quarter.

"Executor!!"

A roar came from outside before a figure barged into the quarter.

Many of the Awakened guards tried to step in the way, attempting to stop the figure's rush but none of them were able to remotely do anything. Those who tried were only met with a slap to their faces that sent them to the ground.

Gistella came rushing in and instantly fixed her eyes on the makeshift throne.

Inside was the Executor and King John.

Contrary to the Executor who was smiling widely at her reaction, knowing why she was this furious, King John was completely surprised. He was shocked to see the fierce expression that Gistella was wearing right now, far different from her usual graceful demeanor.

Now, her eyes were gleaming with bronze light as she made her way to the Executor.

"I see that you succeed, that's good" the Executor teased.

Upon hearing this, Gistella screamed hysterically, "What did you make me do to him?!"

"Something that you don't need to know. John, go and escort her to the other room. Assist her accommodation and ensure her stay is nothing short of a royal treatment," the Executor instructed King John with a theatrical flair. Casting a sly glance at Gistella, he added, "After all, she earned her right as our highly esteemed guest, and nothing but the absolute best is what she deserves for what she had done"

Knowing that his words were nothing more than sarcasm, Gistella became even more furious.

Even though she needed to calm her emotions, she simply couldn't.

Seeing that Rex was looking at her with a potent mix of disappointment, disbelief, and anger, something within her broke. The pain in her chest became intolerable, and while she was glaring at the Executor, she found herself crying profusely.

A poignant blend of frustration and sorrow amidst the shimmering anger.

It was probably also because she was previously an Undead.

Emotions were not a thing for her back then, Undeads' emotions were naturally suppressed.

But now, with the surge of emotions within, tears began to flow down.

Gistella's body started to steam with bronze energy and she started to transform, the anger was so powerful that her body reacted by transforming into her Werewolf form. Not stopping at that, she quickly lunged in for a strike.

However, right before she reached the Executor, King John blocked her advancement.

"Stop it, or you're going to get yourself killed!" He whispered.

Despite King John trying his best to snap her out of this outburst, Gistella ignored her and kept on attempting to push forward. It was only then that King John resorted to hugging her tightly, stopping her in her tracks.

Even then, Gistella began to surge with more strength and push King John back.

"Karghk!" King John grunted when her claws stabbed his back, a couple of inches deep.

Following that, Gistella bites his shoulder fiercely with her canine teeth.

lights??v?l ??m Blood gushed out from the point of impact, dying the carpet crimson. King John keeps on desperately trying to tell her to stop, as the moment she lays a hand on the Executor, there's a big chance that she will be killed.

All of this was happening with the Executor keeping stern eye contact with Gistella.

His eyes were serene and calm despite the escalating situation.

"Listen to me. If you do this, then you can forget to make amends to Rex again, as you will be dead!" King John whispered again, gritting his teeth to endure the pain. He then repeated loudly, his voice penetrating Gistella's ears clearly, "Dead!!"

Upon hearing this, Gistella blinked and regained control of her own body.

It was the anger that made her act like that.

Despite being reluctant, she turned back into her human form, still in King John's embrace.

"Okay... I understand..." Gistella mused, seeking to dispel her anger with a measured breath. The intensity in her expression gradually waned as she reverted to her usual composure, even though still felt bitter. "I'm fine now... you can let go of me" She stated, finding that King John was still holding her.

King John quickly pulled away when he heard this, smiling awkwardly.

"Our agreement specifies that I'm allowed to incapacitate Rex, not kill him, and I did exactly that. I didn't cause him physical harm, ensuring his continued existence without any problem. But as for your relationship with him," the Executor suddenly interjected, his smirk widening as he said this. "that remains beyond my concern..."

Listening to this, Gistella's expression turned hideous.

Now her relationship is strained, and the worst thing is, she doesn't know what she did.

It happened so fast, and nobody was explaining the situation.

Although she really wanted to know which made her gradually feel frustrated the longer she didn't get the answer, she realized that getting a straightforward response from the Executor was an unattainable feat. His penchant for ambiguity and indirectness will only fuel her escalating sense of madness.

Right now, it's best for her to get out of here and take a step back.

"King John, please lead the way," Gistella said dejectedly.

Upon hearing this, King John glanced at the Executor and found him nodding in approval before he escorted Gistella away. He knows that letting Gistella be here is not the best idea, so he quickly leads her to the other room.

...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Supernatural territory.

Rex and Mavenna were teleported away, arriving in front of an ominous black castle.

Not a trace of light could be seen inside the castle.

Even the surroundings of the castle were filled with an open place before houses could be seen across the bridge, medieval houses that spanned as far as their eyes could see. Judging from the layout of the place, Mavenna is quite sure that this is some kind of abandoned city or some sort.

"Where are we? And where did Ryze go?" Mavenna asked in confusion.

She expected that she would be brought to the hideout of the Silverstar Pack with Rex.

But this is definitely not the hideout.

It was not that Mavenna couldn't believe that a castle could become the hideout, but because near the entrance of the castle were two Blood Bunyas. Not normal ones either, a higher-rank mutation that supplied thick blood energy to the surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Rex replied, "Ryze was teleported back to my place"

"You were supposed to be with him, not with me. But with the situation earlier, I have no choice but to bring you here" He added through gasping breaths, trying his hardest to sustain the increasing Hare Moon's effect.

Mavenna frowned, she pointed at the place and asked, "And where are we exactly?"

"Vampire territory, help me go inside" Rex struggled to stand up.

Looking at this, Mavenna quickly rushed in to help him before she trained her eyes on the castle with a peculiar expression. Only one entity resides inside the castle, and she wondered who this entity was that has a connection with Rex.

Even though it should be relatively safe, she couldn't shake this odd feeling within her.

It feels like someone is watching her from the shadows.

'No matter who was inside this castle, it must be someone very powerful' She thought.

...

A moment later.

Rex and Mavenna entered what should be the throne room's entrance, the door slowly opened with a loud grating sound before the view of the throne room greeted them, with a silent entity sitting on the throne with her legs crossed.

"Hands off, Succubus..." the entity said commandingly.

Upon hearing this, Mavenna raised an eyebrow, "And who are you again?"

"Me?" responded the figure, a sinister silhouette emerging as she leaned forward, revealing her vampiric countenance from the shadow that concealed her earlier. "I'm not someone you'd wish to make an enemy of..."
