The Invincible Full-Moon System

The bar is located in front of a big office in the center of Nerphia City, it is crowded with people coming in and out of the bar.

The cars parked in this place are lavish and it seems to be a popular bar in this area.

Rex and Liliya got out of the black sports car and instantly all of the people there glances at them.

Well considering that the lavish car around here looks lame beside Devan's sports car, no wonder the people look at them curiously.

Unknown to them, Devan's car is one of a kind that only he has.

The both of them walk towards the bar, they are chatting lightly with each other although it is only Rex who asks a question while Liliya answers coldly.

After getting to know her better.

It's not that she's rude, it's just that she doesn't know how to reply almost as if she never has friends before.

Although it is unexpected that he get to a bar, Rex is in a good mood because it's been so long he enjoys life like normal people.

Then suddenly, a group of three girls approaches him.

The three girls look dashing in their dresses, each of them emits different types of vibe but they're all beautiful.

Although Rosie and Adhara are beautiful, they didn't emit this kind of seductiveness.

He can't help but acknowledge that if any other guys saw them, they will instantly do anything just to please them.

But not Rex,

The girl in front wearing a blue button-up shirt with jeans said, "Hai, my name is Casie", she said sweetly.

Rex stopped and turn to them, "May I help you?"

"Me and my friends just got here, do you mind inviting us to your table?", She asks seductively, her body suddenly wrap around Rex's arms.

The girls didn't even acknowledge Liliya's presence as she got pushed away,

Rex noticed this, he shrugs the girl off of him and replied coldly, "Sorry, I'm with my friend here. Maybe next time", he grabbed Liliya's hand and gets inside the bar leaving the girls.

The girls stomped their feet in annoyance, they felt hurt when Rex didn't take their bait.

Entering the bar, Rex approaches a woman wearing formal clothes, "Excuse me, I want to book a table for two"

The woman looks at Rex before looking at Liliya, "I'm sorry sir, the table is full"

Rex can see the woman looking at Liliya with a disgusted expression, he glances at Liliya, 'Well, her outfit is really inappropriate for this but still'

He glances around the place and saw an empty table, "I saw one right there, can you book that one?"

"Sir, I said it is full please understand", the woman replied coldly.

The day started to darken,

Rex knows that the woman is saying this because of Liliya's outfit, he started to lose his patience.

Liliya on the side is hanging her head low, she whispers softly, "Let's go, we'll wait for Devan in other places"

Hearing this, Rex felt bad.

When he was about to open his mouth again, suddenly a group of black sedans arrived in front of the bar.

Screech!!

Their wheels make a screeching sound as they stopped abruptly,

Then, a man wearing a white shirt with a black vest on top of it comes out of the car. He's wearing fashionable glasses, he looks like a millionaire just from a glance.

He's followed by a group of guards behind him wearing black suit and tie,

Rex glances at them, 'Who's this?'

The man enters the bar and approaches the woman completely ignoring Rex and Liliya, "Is the VIP table available?"

"Yes sir, come right this way please", the woman said politely.

Looking at this, Rex was at a loss for words, "Hold on! You said the table is full!", Rex said angrily.

Rex's patience is already broken through his limits, he can't just stand there feeling the unjust treatment he got right in front of his eyes.

The woman glances at Rex with a pale face, "Security please escort this man out"

"Why did he got a table while I don't? Can you give me an explanation for this?", Rex shouted, he doesn't know why but his pride are hurt.

The man's guard glance at Rex, two people then come up to him and wanted to push him to the exit.

Rex already scans the crowd of the guard and all of them are normal people,

Guard one and two signal Rex to go out, they are like robots moving in sync with each other.

Rex stands there unwavering even after they shot a fierce glance at him.

Guard one and two wanted to push Rex out but Rex easily evades them, he then twists their arms making them fall flat to the ground with a pained expression.

Thud!

"I said give me an explanation", Rex said fiercely.

The other guards were shocked but soon they recover, they brought their guns out and points them towards Rex.

Looking at this, Rex laughs madly, "Look at you guys, pointing your weapons to a civilian"

Rex's face then darkened, he then vanishes from his spot.

BAM!

CLAK!

DANG!

Rex hits every weapon on each of the guards and breaking them apart and slamming them to the ground, this happened in mere seconds and before the guards know it, their weapons already got destroyed.

The receptionist woman and the millionaire man gasps in shock, their face drains from all colors.

All of the prideful and bossy attitude they have disappeared, they look at Rex in horror as one word crosses all of their minds, "An Awakened!"

Rex grins, "Yes, we fight for you guys and this is the treatment we got?"

The receptionist woman jolted from her daze and kneels in front of Rex swiftly, she banged her head on the ground, "I'm sorry! Please have mercy, I don't know you are an Awakened!"

Thud!

Thud!

The muffled banging sound of the receptionist's head and the carpet was heard repeatedly,

Rex squats down as he looks at the receptionist's face that is already bleeding, "So if I'm not an Awakened then that's okay? Is that it?"

"No sir! I won't do it again!! Please forgive me!", she said putting her head on Rex's shoes begging for mercy.

Then suddenly,

"What's going on?! What is this commotion", a woman wearing red blazers appeared from inside the bar.

Rex glances at her, "You must be the manager?"

The manager looks at Rex confusedly and asks, "What seems to be the problem, sir?"

"I ordered a table for two but this girl said the tables are all full, then suddenly comes this guy and this girl immediately gives him a table right in front of my eyes. Now I wanted an explanation", Rex said coldly, his cold eyes pierced through the manager's eyes making her heart beat faster in fright.

The manager sent the receptionist a questioning look,

The receptionist can only put down her head in shame, this proves what Rex's saying is true.

The manager looks at the surrounding guards, there are some crawling on the ground with a pained expression while some run to the corner with fear in their eyes.

'He must be an Awakened, this will be bad!', the manager thought in panic.

Just before the manager wanted to say something,

Liliya on the side held the corner of Rex's clothes and whispers, "It's enough, let's just find another place"

'She's older than me but acts this way, what happened to her exactly', Rex thought.

"I'm sorry sir, please follow me to your table", the manager said politely especially after the people in the bar already started to take a video of this event.

Rex then grins, "I don't want to be here anymore, the services of this bar is pretty low I would say. Even Awakened is treated this way, I wonder how normal people would be treated here", he said while emphasizing every one of his words.

Awakened is not common, in fact, they are pretty rare. This accident will probably blow up because of how high on the social ladder an Awakened is, the bar will definitely be shut down in a matter of days.

That's how high an Awakened social status is.

Cold sweat started to run down the manager's face, "Sir, please let us apologize to you. We will give you the best treatment and you also don't need to pay", she said with a begging tone.

She knows that if Rex leaves the bar like this, her business will crumble.

People will start judging the bar and there will be many terror from Awakened fanatic that will come to their doors.

Rex scoffed coldly, he then grabs Liliya's hand and left the bar.

Looking at this, the manager fall to her knees.

Rex leaving the bar is like seeing the bar closed forever, the problem can't be fixed anymore as she sent a death glare at the receptionist woman.

They got inside the car and settles on street food near the bar, Rex is hungry so he wanted to eat at least before Devan comes back.

He ordered satay for both of them before sitting beside Liliya,

Liliya is in a daze, she looks at the walking people blankly.

Rex too started to see the normal people living their lives, working, dating, eating, and even day dreaming as if there's no burden in their life.

He then broke the silence, "Do you ever missed the feeling of being normal?"

Liliya snapped out of her daze and looks at Rex, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, just look at them. We are trying to be more powerful by the day, Zrolis City is under siege, and we know so much that our mind can't seem to rest", Rex chuckles as he looks at the street.

Liliya then sigh, "If you put it like that, being normal is pretty comfortable"

"Normal people dreamt of being an Awakened or even Gifted but we wanted to become normal, isn't that ironic?", Rex said ridiculing himself or rather the world.

"Just like a kid who can't wait to grow up, and want to be a kid again when they already become an adult", Liliya smiles helplessly, "Ironic indeed"

Rex felt the gloomy vibe before he claps his cheeks and said, "Well, there's no point thinking about it. Let's eat!", he said after seeing their satay is done.

Liliya nodded her head and takes her satay before starting to eat,

Meanwhile, Devan is in his office room that is spacious, it is the room located on top of the office.

The room is decorated minimalistically, with only his dark brown wooden working table and a seat. There are also a grey sofa to attend guests and a glass table in front of it.

There is a bathroom inside his room,

Devan is inside the bathroom, he looks at the pill in his hand and mutters, "I hate doing this but I have to, I can't let anyone know"

He then put the pill in his mouth and drinks water, his body trembled for a couple of minutes.

After a while, the trembles stops.

He then puts his beanie back on before he adjusted his clothes and walks outside of his office,
