Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman -
Chapter 135 The Master Plan
In a restaurant at a remote part of the Gundam Shelter sat 3 friends, 2 handsome and fit young men and a hooded lady with fair skin.
Even with the thick hood that covered her face and body, hiding most of the more tantalizing parts of her great beauty, Princess Elanor still received perverted stares from the drunkards in the restaurant.
She fought hard to hide her irritation since this was a first to her. Back in the Micro World, as the Princess, she was respected by all.
Adapting was hard for her but she forced herself to. There was a saying that in the Gundam Shelter, even a lousy beggar was a powerful mystic warrior.
This was still an exaggeration but it spoke a lot about the concentration of mystic warriors here, Princess Elanor had no intentions of pissing them off.
As newcomers, to survive here, lying low for the meantime was a must.
In the table for 3 where they sat, beside the drinks was a map of the Gundam Shelter. Through the map, the 3 friends already knew of the 3 major parts of the shelter that they needed to take note of.
The major locations were the Red Zone, the Black Zone, and the Snake Territory which was the home ground of the most notorious criminal gangs around.
The Black Zone was predominantly the territory of the numerous military organizations and mercenary organizations that settled here to ply their trade.
The Snake Territory was predominantly the ground of the criminal gangs, while the Red Zone was the real chaotic zone where newbies could start all over.
Like every other newbie that came to the Gundam Shelter to try their hand at an opportunity to turn their fate around and rise to the top, Rex and his 2 friends started in the Red Zone.
The Red Zone was full of small-time military organizations and criminal gangs, it presented the best chance for Rex to start their power struggle.
"So, what do you think of it?" Rex asked as he turned to look at Aragorn and the Elven Princess who still seemed pissed by all the stares in her direction.
"Ignore them, you'll have to get used to it sooner or later". Aragorn gave his little piece of advice before he continued. "Actually, before coming here, I already have a complete plan for my progression through the ranks".
"My first plan is getting a suitable warehouse to take as my workshop".
Aragorn scratched his head. "After my visit to the Micro World, I have a lot of techniques and ideas that I wish to bring to reality as soon as possible".
"Through the workshop, I'll improve my mechanic abilities. As for how to improve my other mystic ability, there is no lack of battle and beasts to fight in the Gundam Shelter, what I should be worried about instead is surviving them all".
"Also, if you agree, we can make the workshop our base of operations. Everything that we do would start from there".
Once Aragorn presented his plan, he and Rex turned to face the Elven Princess, leaving her stunned. "Huh, me?"
"Yes".
She frowned slightly before speaking. "I don't really have a plan yet, probably I'll develop one along the line but for now, I'm content with following yours".
"Well, that's acceptable". Rex nodded his head. "Actually, my plan to come to the Gundam Shelter started months ago and I already did a good number of research to arrive at a comprehensive plan".
"An important factor that I learned in my research was survival, it is the greatest factor and to survive, we need to make friends here".
"The only friends we can make here are the different criminal gangs and military organizations, we need to replace a suitable and powerful enough friend".
"To get a powerful friend though, we need to be powerful enough also".
Rex looked at Aragorn. "Do you have a target in mind already for your mechanic workshop?"
Aragorn scratched his little beards. "Well, I did my own research and I have a suitable target already but the problem is the money".
"How much?"
"3 million Duncan Shelter credits".
"Good". Rex nodded.
Aragorn was stunned. "Good?"
"Yeah, that just solved our problem of trying to prove our strength. Don't forget, we are in a lawless region now, all we need to do is replace, thrash the original owners, and seize the warehouse by force to prove our strength".
"After that, we replace the archrivals of the gang who originally owns the warehouse, they'll surely agree to an alliance with the exterminator of their rivals".
"With that, the friend problem is solved".
"After that, well, everything else will come naturally. Like you said, there's no lack of opportunities to fight, train, and get stronger in the Duncan Shelter".
"All we need to do is take advantage of our opportunities and not die".
"…" Princess Elanor was left speechless after Rex was done.
Aragorn chuckled. "I never knew you were such a master planer".
Rex smiled. "When you have as much time as I had to plan, you'll replace it easy arriving at a master plan, now let's drink".
As the 3 friends drank, it was not even up to a minute after they finished talking that 5 muscular thugs came and stood before them imposingly.
"Hey!"
Rex raised his head to look at them.
"I overheard you talking about the Skull warehouse," The first thug turned to look at his 4 companions before smirking. "Do you know who we are? You're not actually thinking of crossing the Skull gang, right?"
"If you kneel and kowtow 3 times before me, perhaps I may decide to make your death painless".
Rex laughed and stood up while looking at Aragorn. "Told ya? Things are so easy and straightforward here. Now, we don't have to go looking for them".
"Humph, you dare ignore me…?"
"Whoosh!
The thug barely finished before a sword was unsheathed. Before he could react, sword light already passed as his lips were cut cleanly into 2 equal parts.
The restaurant froze as every warrior looked in alarm.
"Ahhh….!!!" The thug who lost half his lips screamed in pain as blood poured.
"Get him!" The other 4 thugs reacted.

Rex started with a Double Plutonian Slash followed by a series of rapid sword combos. In just 2 seconds, 4 thugs lay on the floor dead as Rex walked up to the first thug who lost half his lips.
While all this happened, Princess Elanor and Aragorn remained seated sipping at their drinks. An effective show of power was fully embodied by them.
Rex soon grabbed the thug by his remaining half lip. "Location?"
"Guhh…, uhh…, you'll die…, ahhh!!!"
"Location?"
"Ahh…, I'll talk, please wait". The thug was released by Rex as he fell down and rolled on the floor in agony. "I'll talk, please, our base is directly opposite the Blood Market".
"Good". Rex nodded. "Let's leave".
The trio of mystic warriors finally left the restaurant after an effective show of strength. As they left, news of the newcomers rapidly circulated.
The news in no time got to the desk of the Skull Pugilist.
