BXBX NOVEL Chapter 321 Lunar Eclipse
"What is this?", Rex mumbles as he didn\'t expect something like this to be on the banquet agenda.
Women wearing belly dancer outfits came from the back room and step on the platform, they all have gorgeous curves that attract the male audience with veils of different colors covering their faces only leaving their eyes to see.
They came suddenly and instantly attracted the attention off of Rex,
Silence covered the entire room as the music started to change, the dancers are starting to move their hips showing off their elegant belly dance that pleases the eyes.
Each of their movements was in rhythm with the music beat,
Rex who is still standing finally snapped out of his daze and looks around, he then saw his name on a folded paper on a table.
The table was on his right near the huge doors,
It was a bit secluded since it was a little bit far away from the other tables where the 25 Golden Crest families receded, there\'s a clear distinction for guests in this place.
After noticing his name, Rex finally went to the table and sit on it.
With the performance still ongoing, Rex can only cage his intention to mess with the Atkins who he\'s keeping his eyes on especially Wesley who is currently watching the performance.
Even with his wife right beside her, the lust on his face can still be seen clearly as he\'s watching the dancers doing their performance professionally.
It didn\'t take long for Linda to come back with two glasses in her hands,
Linda approached Rex before she sat right beside him, she then gave Rex a glass while sipping her own enjoying the performance in front of them.
"I really want to mess with the Atkins", Rex mumbles while eyeing Wesley.
Although his voice is muffled by the loud music and the rattling of the dancer\'s outfit, Linda can hear what he said, "Just wait for a minute, the Banquet hasn\'t officially started yet"
"It\'s a custom for the 25 Golden Crest families to held a performance before the socializing part"
Hearing this, Rex reluctantly stays in his seat while waiting for the performance to finish.
While he\'s sitting down, he can see that there are many unknown faces around that he has never seen before, "Why don\'t you introduce me to the people here?"
"Look over there", Linda suddenly said pointing to the tables near the platform.
Rex follows Linda\'s fingers before she said, "That\'s where the top five families are sitting, you can see the Burton, Hester, and Macias family on the furthest-most tables"
Upon hearing this, Rex saw a middle-aged man right where Linda is pointing.
\'That must be Daniel Burton, I\'ll greet him after this\', Rex thought after deciding to visit Burton Family after the performance is done.
Since Adhara just told him that Daniel Burton values Rex as an asset to humanity, Rex didn\'t mind sparring with his son just to get on his good side.
Besides, Rex glanced to the left and saw Wesley sitting on his table.
Although the problem he had with Wesley Atkins has been suppressed thanks to Daniel Burton, Rex knows that it\'s still not over judging from Wesley\'s nature.
\'I also need to visit Stevanus Reed, he\'s the one that invited me here anyway\', Rex thought.
While Rex is waiting for the dancers to finish their performance, Rex suddenly saw Vargas on the corner of the place with other people sitting at a table near the big five families.
Looking at this, Rex tugged Linda\'s side and asks, "Vargas is here too?"
"Yes, he\'s a part of the High Table. The banquet also needs to be watched, it\'s not uncommon for the families to start mouth-fighting with each other that sometimes ends up really bad", Linda explained.
Rex nodded his head before he suddenly notice something,
The dancers that are performing on the stage suddenly started to come down and went to the tables, they didn\'t stop performing while visiting the tables.
Of course, some of the families denied their performance since it\'s not appropriate for their wives.
While this is all happening, Rex suddenly saw a particular dancer heading towards his table where there\'s only him and Linda sitting there.
The dancers approach Rex\'s table before started dancing beside the table,
She\'s one of the dancers with the best curves, even under the veil, Rex can tell that she\'s beautiful.
Rex was quite surprised to see her dancing so vigorously, even Linda felt the hot vibes surrounding the air as the dancers raises her leg and step right in between Rex\'s legs.
It caught Rex off guard as he frowns, \'She smells familiar\'
The red blazing hair and the teasing eyes just above the translucent veils make Rex squint his eyes, then suddenly the woman leans towards Rex and whispers to his ears, "You came..."
"Evelyn?", Rex mumbles when he caught her scent when she leans over.
Hearing this, Evelyn that is still dancing vigorously in front of Rex smiles before she said, "I hope you give me quite a show today, I\'m looking forward to it"
"What do you mean to show? What did you expect me to do?", Rex said with a wry smile.
But Evelyn didn\'t answer as she kept dancing, she then glance to the side for a moment before the smile on her face widen.
"Rex!", a voice called out to Rex from the side.
Rex glance to the back and saw Adhara waving at him from the entrance, her eyes then fall to Evelyn who is performing in front of Rex before her expression turns sour.
Evelyn saw Adhara coming towards them as she said, "Is she the infamous Adhara Alpenore?"
"How did you know about her?", Rex asks.
But then he immediately takes back his words, "Of course you knew", he added thinking that Evelyn knows about everything since she even know about Daniel\'s scandal.
With one swift motion, Evelyn mounted on Rex as if she was trying to give Rex a lap dance.
Her bodily scent filled Rex\'s nose making his mind go blank, Rex didn\'t even know where to put his hands on as he left his hands dangling on air stiffly.
As always, Evelyn never fail in tempting Rex beyond comprehension,
Rex widen his eyes upon seeing this, even Adhara widen her eyes when she arrived at the table and saw Evelyn mounting Rex seductively while giving her a teasing look.
"Are you satisfied with just her?", Evelyn suddenly asks.
This makes Rex bite his lips holding Evelyn\'s temptation, "Why do you ask that?"
Hearing this, Evelyn smirked lightly as if she was pleased with Rex\'s answer as she started to dance completely ignoring Adhara\'s fierce gaze from the side.
She\'s very daring and bold that surprises Rex,
If Adhara is not here then he won\'t back down to tease her back, but he can\'t do that with Adhara here so he can only let Evelyn have this one.
Evelyn bends over right on top of Rex while still keeping gaze with Adhara,
"If you ever feel sad about anything, feel free to come to me", Evelyn suddenly said.
After saying that, she then added, "Watch your six when you leave this place"
She seems to be enjoying every last bit of this moment before she suddenly waves her hair back, and after giving a wink to Rex, Evelyn left the table with her butt swaying left and right teasingly.
Rex didn\'t even realize that the music has already stopped,
\'What did she mean by that? Don\'t tell me she also knew about my fight with Adhara?\', Rex thought as he was quite perplexed by Evelyn\'s informant.
It\'s like she literally knows everything, and that scares him a bit.
Aside from that, the last part that she said also swiftly went past Rex\'s mind.
For her to warn him like that, it seems the Atkins already prepared something for him so he will heed Evelyn\'s warning and be careful on his way out.
"Do you know her?", Adhara said before sitting on an empty seat beside Rex, she seems to be quite annoyed by what Evelyn did.
Hearing this, Rex then said with a wry smile, "It\'s Evelyn Luc, Kevin\'s sister"
"You\'re not going to meet her again do you hear me?", Adhara said while glaring at Rex.
This makes Rex raises his arms in defeat as he doesn\'t have any excuse to rebut, and it will be worse if he even tries to rebut what Adhara said right now.
After the performance ended, the social part has just started.
Rex and Adhara talk for a moment since she just said she doesn\'t want to come, but Adhara told Rex that she changed her mind just like that.
"I\'m going to visit Stevanus first then Daniel", Rex said while standing from his seat.
The people around have already started conversing with each other, and Rex finds that Stevanus is still sitting at his table and he doesn\'t seem to like socializing that much.
With a deep breath, Rex walks towards Stevanus.
Adhara wanted to accompany him but Linda quickly stopped her, "Today he\'s my man, so you sit here staying pretty while I accompany Rex", she said putting Adhara at a loss for words.
It takes a moment before she snapped out of her daze, but Rex and Linda have already left.
Meanwhile,
"Sir Stevanus", Rex greeted from the side.
Hearing his name got called, Stevanus looks back and saw Rex greeting him, "Rex! I\'m glad you can make it to the banquet", he said with a surprised look.
But this makes Rex frown, \'Why is he so surprised? Isn\'t he the one who invites me here?\'
"I didn\'t expect to be invited by you here, I\'m honored to be your special guest", Rex shakes his head before bowing politely.
With a smile, Stevanus tap Rex\'s shoulders and said, "No worries, the pleasure is mine"
After exchanging a bit of pleasantry, Rex finally excuses himself with Linda as he left Stevanus intending to go to Daniel Burton to greet him.
But he got something in his mind, \'Why did Edward is very careful with the Reed Family?\'
From the exchange they had before, there is nothing weird except for the fact Stevanus\' surprised look when he saw Rex calling him.
"I think Daniel Burton is occupied", Linda said while pointing at Daniel.
Many people are trying to talk to him, especially from the lower rank families, it was not a surprise since he\'s the person who owns the ATC where Awakened can get any items.
After noticing that Daniel is occupied, Rex went to Vargas who is talking with a man beside him.
When he was about to go to Vargas since he also got something to say to him, Rex looks at his phone first and notice that it was already nearing nine.
Rex then takes the red chalk from his pocket and draw a symbol on his palm,
"What kind of symbol is that?", Linda suddenly asks surprising Rex who just got the notification from the system.
<Lunar Symbol has been drawn!>
<Sublime Lunar Prince Technique has been activated!>
With the technique activated preparing for the Lunar Moonlight, Rex hides his hand and replied, "Nothing, it\'s just something I do to calm myself down"
"You can get nervous too?", Linda asks in surprise.
Hearing this, Rex click his tongue and replied, "I\'m a human too, of course, I get nervous"
After saying that, Rex then walks towards Vargas intending to inform him about the Green Messenger in the Supernatural territory.
Meanwhile, Supernatural Territory.
"Prince, the preparation is done", Ruston said as he points at his back.
They\'re currently inside a dark forest that is very secluded from where the other Werewolves reside, and there are hundreds if not thousands of unconscious Supernatural lying on the ground.
Just like what Zegrath asks earlier,
Ruston and his pack members gather the Supernatural needed to do the ritual, Zegrath is pleased with the view since there are some high-rank Supernatural amongst them.
There are Undead, Dark Elves, and even Vampires amongst the Supernaturals.
All of them are stacked together in a circle, only some of them are conscious to see what\'s going on but Ruston did something to restrain these Supernaturals\' power to retaliate.
"Good job, I\'ll start the ritual now", Zegrath mumbles.
He then looks up to the Lunar Eclipse, the moon that should\'ve been white turns reddish.
This is the full moon that was called the Selfish Moon, it makes Zegrath body rejuvenated just under the moonlight before he slashes his arm,
Slash!
After doing that, Zegrath then grips his hand harder to let the blood flow faster.
He then started to circle the weakened Supernatural as he creates the Ritual formation, a circle made from his blood was created before the wound from the slash before healed.
"With this, the ritual will start", Zegrath said feeling satisfied with the view.
He then signals for Ruston and his pack members to step back as he sits in a meditative position with the bunch of Supernaturals lying in front of him.
"@#!*@#@!@!", Zegrath started chanting.
Powerful energy started to envelop the surroundings as the Supernaturals that are still conscious felt their powers leaving them, it was as if something sucked their power dry.
Reddish energy started to envelop Zegrath like a blanket,
And after the formation lit up in red as the Supernaturals\' power started steaming to the sky, Zegrath opens his eyes with a wide grin as he said, "Lunar Eclipse, Grant me all of your power as I am the rightful Prince of the Werewolves!!"
