Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 245 Tough Floor, Refal's Intention

'I got inside somehow, but that fortress is so tightly secured,' Arkhen said as he looked at the big metal fortress with a regal robotic humanoid statue on top of it. That humanoid statue was robotic with cool metal wings, mechanically mystical eyes, body, and limbs, and stood tall with a metal trident that had blue and light green patterns.

"Young man, you want another?"

Arkhen turned to the stall in front of him and nodded at the old man selling food. After getting entry into the kingdom by paying 10 energy stones, Arkhen roamed a bit and sat at this street stall while looking at the Metal Fortress.

This street connected to the road, and behind that road was a large bridge leading to the Metal Fortress. However, that bridge was tightly secured and guarded by two powerful mecha race guards.

Both of them were so powerful that Arkhen couldn't see their stats. It was all [???] Question marks.

"Here, your manju pops are ready," the old man with a white beard said as he passed a plate to Arkhen with small dark green round balls made of some ingredients with a toothpick-like stick in them.

Although this was Mecha Kingdom, there were other races as well. Aside from the Mecha race, there were Humans, Gnomes, and Trolls.

Trolls were treated as a labor force here.

"Old man, is there any way to gain permission to enter inside that fortress?" Arkhen asked curiously after taking the Manju Pops plate.

"Hmm? Why do you want to go there?" the old man asked as he slightly narrowed his eyes.

"No particular reason. It just looks cool and majestic. I want to see how it is from the inside," Arkhen said with a nonchalant smile as he shrugged.

"Well, you can gain permission to enter inside if you apply for some work. Visit the Mechatech Office at the corner of that main road. You can inquire about such things there," the old man said.

"Alright. Thanks," Arkhen said with a nod as he smiled and continued eating.

After he finished eating, he got up and leisurely walked towards the main road.

…

"It's been two days… When will brother Arkhen return?" Meya said as she slumped her head on the table in her courtyard.

"Why don't we take another mission?" Sierra asked with a smile. "After gathering some more resources, we can start training."

"Eh, but we completed two five-star missions yesterday thanks to you, hehe. Are you sure you want to take another one today?" Meya said with a grin.

"Yeah. Let's do it."

"Ok. But if there are any special-rank missions that you can accept, pick it."

…

After an hour, Meya and Sierra left the sect as they flew towards Red Mane Mountains. Red Mane mountains were in an unoccupied territory known as the Red Heaven Region that was in the west direction of Cherry Blossom Sect.

The people of Dark Shadow Tower only rares go there. Instead, the people from various other organizations that are on the other side of the Red Heaven Region usually adventured there for the resources found in Red Heaven Region.

The Red Mane mountains were near the Cherry Blossom Sect, and if one didn't cross those mountains, there was not much danger. Except for, of course, one's carelessness.

Meya had a solid and exquisite small flying ship, so both rode on that towards the Red Mane Mountain for their 5-star mission.

…

"How dare she?!" Refal gritted his teeth as he cursed while sitting in his courtyard. He had just returned today morning from his two-day-long task given to him by his master, and he had to hear a scolding from the vice-peak master, Lady Rong!

"Boss, why don't you still approach your master and tell him that you want to marry Meya?"

"Meya? Hehe, not her," Refal's angry expression changed as he grinned coldly. "I just saw another woman with her. She is way better than Meya. Since Lady Rong warned me not to approach Meya, I'll get her friend instead."

There were two people looking in their twenties sitting across Refal, and their expressions changed after hearing that.

"Boss, I think you shouldn't eye her as well. She already has a husband and he is a core disciple of Mortal Chaos peak," one of the goons said.

"Yes, yes. He is very powerful, more powerful than you for now," said another lackey of Refal.

"So, she is taken… Hehe, then I have an even better idea," Refal grinned. "I'll just have fun with her, and when her husband finds out about that, he is sure to kick her out. After all, he won't dare to do anything to me because of my background."

The two lackeys looked at each other and revealed hesitation. They didn't know what to say because they were stupid themselves and didn't know what was a better judgment call.

However, they were lackeys of Refal, and their job was to lick his boots for easy wealth for their progress, so they stuck to that.

Moreover, they too felt that Arkhen wouldn't be able to do anything to Refal since he was Illusion Flower peak master's favorite personal disciple…

Alas, there was another reason Refal was a favorite persona disciple, and not many knew about that reason, which was that… He was actually Illusion Flower Peak master's illegitimate son!

The only ones who knew about that were a few vice-peak masters including Lady Rong and the four peak masters.

"Since I saw them going to the Mission Hall, they must have taken a mission. Let's go," Refal said as he licked his lips remembering Sierra's beauty.

"Wait, boss. We need more manpower. That Sierra is very powerful from what I heard. If you can get help from an 8th-class core disciple, it would be best," said one of the lackeys.

"Alright, I'll call Carow. He knows my deeds in the past and was also an accomplish sometimes."

…

Soon, Refal, Carow, and the other two lackeys left the sect after finding out that Sierra and Meya went to the Red Mane mountains.
