Chereads / Irisbow: A World Of Witches / Chapter 16 - Unrest

Chapter 16 - Unrest

A voice startled him, Rex turned to see Shamrock staring at him displeased.

"I was looking for you," Rex said, trying to be calm.

"With you peeking like a thief?" said Shamrock flatly.

"I want to invite you to fight!"

shouted Rex. Cloe who was inside was shocked, as were the two men who were talking earlier, they looked at each other.

"There seems to be an intruder," said the pale-skinned man.

The man with pale skin mumbled something, a black orb like a portal appeared, he entered quickly and disappeared as the orb slowly disappeared.

Cloe froze for a moment seeing this but she heard Rex's voice screaming outside, she ran fast to get out.

"You want to invite me to fight when Nesa was kidnapped?" asked Shamrock sarcastically.

"Right, I want to avenge my defeat first," said Rex, his voice shaking.

"That doesn't make sense," Shamrock chuckled.

He walked over to Rex. Rex caught his breath, he didn't want to be caught if he was nervous.

"I ask again, what are you doing here?"

Rex swallowed his saliva, he was intimidated by Shamrock's gaze.

"Rex!"

Cloe shouted from the other end of the hall.

"I looked for you everywhere, you are here," said Cloe breathlessly.

"What are you doing here? You really want to challenge the higher-ups of Shamrock again?" whispered Cloe.

Shamrock backed away at Cloe's words.

"I'm sorry Shamrock, he's out of his mind to challenge you to a fight again."

Cloe lowered her body, she forced Rex to bow apologetically.

"Go, I don't have time to serve you."

"Find Nesa if you really have a lot of time,"

Shamrock closed his bedroom door with a bang. Cloe heaved a sigh of relief at the unsuspecting Shamrock of them. Cloe pulled Rex away from the room.

"I told you it was a crazy plan didn't I!" said Cloe annoyed with Rex's expression that looked flat.

"What did you get inside?"

"Wow you really are crazy, you wouldn't even think about me if Shamrock found out would you?" Cloe pointed at Rex's face.

"The important thing is not to get caught, right?" said Rex lightly.

"It's also thanks to me stupid, if I don't pretend to look for you, we will be found out."

Cloe was really annoyed by Rex's mediocre reaction, if he could tear Rex he would tear him finely.

"Yes yes it is because of you, thank you. Satisfied?" Rex said annoyed.

Cloe rolled her eyes in disbelief at what Rex had just said, she really had no heart.

"So, what did you get inside?" asked Rex again.

Cloe swore in her heart, she shouldn't expect anything from Rex.

"I saw the same man when I peeked first and the man with pale skin, he's a vampire,"

"Vampire? You sure?" Rex looked surprised.

"You think there are witches with pale skin?"

"What are they talking about?"

"The vampire said that the girl was indeed brought to the vampire world,"

"That girl? What do you mean Nesa?"

"I don't know they didn't name names. But the vampire said that a vampire named Denux brought two women, one young and one old."

Rex clenched his fists, if it was true that the girl in question was Nesa, then not only was Nesa kidnapped but there was also one more person.

"And he also said that the old woman's hair was yellow."

"Yellow? Wait a minute, do you remember what Selly said about the perpetrator who attacked Nesa?"

Cle nodded. "Wait, you mean he is from the topaz order?!"

Cloe screamed but quickly covered her mouth, she looked at Rex who was as surprised as she was.

"But wasn't it a man who attacked Nesa?"

"No, Selly didn't say it was a man or a woman,"

"But why did they kidnap the person who attacked Nesa, shouldn't he stay behind to monitor the situation?"

"But was it that woman who attacked Nesa?" asked Rex back.

Cloe sighed, she didn't know the answer either. They have too many puzzles.

"Ah right, I also found a room full of books there,"

"Shamrock is reading a book on the history of the diamond order. Isn't it strange that he reads the history of other orders?"

"No, it wouldn't be strange if he really was a subordinate of the diamond order," said Rex.

"He must want to know the weakness of the diamond order,"

Cloe nodded, what Rex said sounded reasonable.

"Then did you get any proof that the man is from the diamond order?"

Chloe shook her head. "Nothing, not even black hair,"

"Can Shamrock change that?" continued Cloe.

"It's possible. We should quickly meet with Irene and Selly to discuss this. I'm sure they found something too."

Rex quickly stepped in followed by Cleo behind him. Both of them looked serious mixed with worry, they got a lot of clues but everything seemed blurry.

"Is there a bully sir?" a man asked Shamrock anxiously.

"Nothing, just a runny kid who invited me to a duel,"

The man heaved a sigh of relief, he was so afraid that someone would find out that he was hiding in Shamrock's private room.

"Is anyone coming?"

Shamrock looked at the messy looking chair.

"That's right sir, Loz's subordinates came here early. They said that Denux had kidnapped other than Nesa,"

"Who?"

"He didn't know but he said his hair was yellow,"

Shamrock's face changed, his brows furrowed, he looked at his subordinates.

"It seems we are of the same mind, sir, if she is from the topaz order,"

Shamrock chuckled, he didn't expect anyone related to vampires other than him, let alone the topaz order.

"Does he want to repeat the betrayal?"

"What sir?" asked his subordinate as he felt Shamrock say something.

"Oh, it is okay,"

Shamrock waved his hand. He whistled happily as he walked into the next room, a room full of books. He sat on the chair, his gaze straight ahead. He smiled, then burst out laughing.

"I will dispel my suspicions,"

"Just you wait you order topaz,"

---

"Rex,"

Rex was surprised to see his mother calling him, even more so with a serious face.

Cloe looked at Rex, he felt awkward towards Tuscany.

"You go first," Rex said to Cloe.

Cloe nodded, she walked away from Rex and Tuscany, she had to quickly tell what she got in Shamrock's room.

"You met Nesa before she came here, right?" said Tuscany after Cloe left.

"Yes in the human world,"

"Did you see anything strange?"

"What do you mean by weird?" Rex asked confused.

"Whatever that is,"

Rex looked at his mother strangely but he tried to remember his meeting with Nesa.

"Nothing suspicious,"

"Remember well,"

Tuscany gripped Rex's shoulder, he glared at Rex. Rex was surprised by his mother's attitude, this didn't look like his mother at all.

"Why are you asking that? Is there a problem?" Rex lowered his mother's hand gently, he was worried by her mother's change in attitude.

"Nothing," Tuscany shook his head, he sighed in frustration.

"You don't have a relationship with Nesa, do you?"

Rex was taken aback by his mother's question. "Why do you ask that? During this time, mother never cared that I was friends with anyone,"

"I just heard a rumor that you like Nesa, mom just wants to know. Is that weird?"

"No, I have nothing to do with Nesa," Rex said firmly.

"I don't want you to be in a relationship with Nesa,"

"Why? You can't stop me if I like someone."

"Just do as I say," said Tuscany dryly.

Rex was silent, he felt his mother was in a bad mood, he didn't want to argue with his mother because he himself also had problems to solve.

"Nesa was kidnapped, do you know who the kidnapper was?"

Rex asked his mother, he wanted to know if her mother knew that Nesa was kidnapped by a vampire.

"Not,"

"It's been a few days since Nesa disappeared and the higher-ups don't know anything at all?"

Rex couldn't believe his mother's answer, he felt that his mother was hiding something.

"Are the higher-ups looking for Nesa?" Rex asked again, he glared at his mother.

"Don't look for Nesa, Rex,"

"Why? Isn't Nesa also part of the magician and it's the higher-ups' job to find the citizens if they disappear?" Rex said emotionally, he didn't expect the higher-ups to not care about Nesa's disappearance.

"You know he's human Rex," Tuscany's voice hardened.

"But he's already part of the magician, isn't he? He's got that wand!," said Rex, his green eyes blazing.

"Not,"

"He's still human and he can't be a part of us," said Tuscany firmly.

"Once again, mother said, don't look for Nesa if you love your mother,"

Tuscany immediately left Rex full of emotion, he couldn't tell Rex that Nesa was an Oxara. He didn't want anyone to know that before Nesa came here he met Rex. He didn't want Rex to have anything to do with Nesa.

"I have to protect my son,"

Rex felt strange about his mother's attitude. Her mother's attitude changed after Nesa came to this world, she didn't seem to like Nesa.

"But is it true that the higher-ups don't know that Nesa was kidnapped by a vampire?"

Rex shook his head, he felt it was impossible.

"I'm sure they know but they don't want to make a fuss."

Rex knew that if the citizens found out that the vampires were attacking there would be riots.

"Did you hear about the diamond order committing crimes?"

"Diamond order? Are you sure?"

"Watch your words, you can be attacked with the order of diamonds,"

Rex turned his body to hear the conversation earlier, he saw some students who were gossiping.

"What do you mean the order of diamonds committed a crime?" Rex asked them.

"You haven't heard of that Rex?"

"He's not like you who likes to gossip," said the girl next to him, sneering at her friend.

"Ebony came to investigate the diamond order village and said if one of the residents there committed a crime,"

"What?"

Rex immediately ran after hearing their answer. Along the way, there were many whispers about the diamond order committing crimes.
