Today, the Blood Market was less busy than usual.


    The Gundam Shelter like all other shelters was dominated by civilians who had no ess to mystic energy, but also like other shelters, mystic warriors ruled.


    The only difference was that mystic warriors lived more chaotically here. In this chaotic environment, the Blood Market strived.


    To keep up the chaos, mystic warriors had to constantly change their mystic weapons since old ones depreciated because of the constant battles.


    <o>,m Advanced mystic weapons and above were the only ones guaranteed tost a long time and had great durability. For weapons that were below the Advanced grade, when put under enough stress were liable to depreciate.</o>


    Today, the 5 directors of the Blood Market were put under even more stress than the weapons that they sold were ever put through.


    With the high-profile action of the Berserk Gang against all the other gangs in the territory, they could only watch, isted and abandoned in the midst of all the chaos and death.


    At first, they thought that Rex was afraid of their background but they could not have been more wrong.


    After a long day of conquest where he achieved great sess, Rex finally found his way to the Blood Market on Aragorn''s Monster Truck.


    This time, he didn''te alone like thest time he came to get the Vampiric Armor. After the Monster Truck parked in the deserted parkway, Rex, Ben, Erling, and Jacob alighted the truck before marching towards the market building.


    Like Rex expected, as soon as he came down from the Monster Truck, a beautifuldy attendant came towards them to attend to them.


    This time, probably out of courtesy, the beautiful female guide refused to wear her mask as she exposed her attractive facial look to the 4 warriors.


    None of them were fazed though, they simply looked at her until Rex spoke.


    Rex smiled for the first time. "Darling, can you please take us to the 4th floor?"


    The attendant shuddered slightly at being called darling which didn''t elude the sharp eyes of the 4 Advanced mystic warriors, but they remained silent.


    She only smiled slightly before turning to lead the way. Unlike the previous time that she attended to Rex, this time, her confidence levels were way lower.


    All these were a result of the notorious reputation that Rex built for himself within a single night and a day, what he did was simply stuff of legends.


    Without a word, the female attendant escorted them with a strained smile until the elevator took them to the 4th floor of the Blood Market.


    There, Rex sent her away with a polite smile, he knew his way around here.


    Once she left, Rex led his 3panions as he went straight to the trading booth with mystic treasures encased in ss containers where a familiar master trader traded. "Yo, long time no see".


    On seeing these 4, the master trader paused as an unnatural expression came over his face. "Hi, good evening".


    "Why the formality boss?" Rexughed. "We alreadypleted one transaction thest time, we should be closer than this".


    "Haha, yeah". The middle-aged master trader strained a smile.


    Rex smiled. "This time, I want to do even more spectacr business. You can''t fulfill my wishes, I want you to take me to the directors".


    The middle-aged master trader''s smile turned even more strange, but another nce at the 4 warriors made him decide on his choice. He stood up, bowed respectfully towards the 4 of them before leading the way.


    The elevator took them 2 more levels up to the upper-most floor of the Blood Market building, this was where the directors stayed.


    "Yeah, you''ve tried, you can leave".


    After sending the master trader away, Rex and his 3panions swaggered their way in. Since the path was pretty straightforward, they no longer needed direction until they arrived at the office of the 5 directors.


    Having done his research before now, Rex already knew that the 5 joint owners of the Blood Market were 5 major gangs. The Axe Gang, the Bull Gang, the Godzi Gang, the Kong Gang, and the Exquisite Gang.


    All 5 gangs had representatives here and they were the directors.


    Knock! Knock!


    As soon as Rex knocked on the first door that they saw in the long corridor, a voice gave the consent for him to go in and he opened.


    Inside, the 5 directors were already seated waiting for his arrival. Unlike usual, none of their guards were beside them. They probably already deduced that having guards against these 4 was pretty useless.


    Rex and his 3panions swaggered their way to 4 chairs as they turned to face the 5 directors confidently, then Rex shed a smile at them.


    "What do you want?" An old man with white beard asked.


    "That''s it!" Rex pped. "I like your straightforwardness". Heughed.


    "My demands are simple, since the Blood Market is in my territory, it''s only normal that I have a stake in it. My proposal is to be the 6th owner of the Blood Market, I want my director to report to work tomorrow".


    The old man narrowed his eyes, clearly, he was the highest-ranking director here and Rex nodded at him. "Yes, I want to be the 6th stakeholder of the Blood Market".


    All the other directors kept quiet, the old man took a deep breath then he spoke. "Rex, do you think you can afford offending all 5 of our gangs".


    Rex smiled. "I guess you''re the director representing the Axe Gang. I heard you guys imed a stake in the Blood Marketst, now you seem to be the leading director here, I didn''t think you guys saw it as offending the other gangs, right?"


    "So why do you think my humble proposal is an act to anger you?"


    "You…"


    "Arnold Schwiengster!" Rex''s voice was deep this time as his powerful mystic energy red, spreading an oppressive aura inside the room.


    The old man shuddered as soon as his name was called.


    "You and the other directors have 5 minutes to make the decision. Make the call or pay the consequences, just remember that the Blood Market will be mine before any reinforcementes from your gangs".


    "And I doubt any one of them would individually want to antagonize me".


    A long silence reigned in the room after Rex spoke, then 2 minutester, apart from Arnold the old man, the other 4 directors raised their hands.


    "I consent to the addition of a 6th director".


    "I consent to the addition of a 6th director".


    "I consent…"


    Rex turned to look at the old man. "Arnold?"


    The old man sumbed. "I consent to the addition of a 6th director".


    "Nice". Rex pped again with a smile. "My representative will be here tomorrow morning, make sure to give him a warm wee".


    "My sworn brother will also visit, he has some goods to put on sale".


    With that, Rex turned to leave with his 3panions.


    As soon as Rex left, like nothing happened, 4 of the directors calmly went back to their daily activities, only Arnold gritted his teeth as they left.


    He soon stood up and went to his personal residence in the 6th floor where he locked himself in. After jamming all signals that could eavesdrop on him, he used a specialmunicator to dial a number.


    "Arnold".


    "Gang Leader, the Berserk Gang took over the whole Blood Market territory".


    "I know, I heard it was a bloodbath, just my style". The Gang leader of the Axe Gang chuckled. "Why did you call? Did he also be a director there?"


    "Yes…, sorry for my ipetence".


    "Yeah, but his actions did more good than harm to us". The Gang leader''s voice soon turned excited. "With his actions, ours gained the momentum to grow".


    "Once I fulfill my ns, he''ll be rewarded for being the trailzer".


    "Just let him enjoy the shine for now".


    "Yes, Gang Leader".
