Death… And Me

Chapter 2587  Unexpected Message

Yet, Frasco shook his head. "Do take me for a fool, little boy. I\'ve lived way longer than you. I might not have a way to prove it, but I\'m absolutely certain you have some different type of access to the communication system that lets you use it without anyone detecting."

Well, Frasco was right about it. Rean could use the system as he wished, and no one could see what he had done. He had prepared while he was still in the Dragon Race. It is part of the core program of the communication system, so you can\'t simply delete it either since some special circuitry runes were used in its conception.

Still, Rean had his doubts. "Even if I do have this kind of access, why would you want it? You Dragons can already access everything within the system, all its features. Not to mention, it is being developed here, under your eyes, so you definitely have your own ideas, too."

Frasco didn\'t deny it. "We do. But it is still below your credentials. Yes, I know we already can use everything within the system. However, what stops you from suddenly using your rights to cause trouble within? Even your wife, Qia, seemed to not be able to get rid of it. She couldn\'t even find it. I had my own Formations Masters look for it everywhere, but they couldn\'t find it either."

Rean faintly smiled. Qia definitely knew he had such credentials, and Rean used it to communicate with her without anyone finding out. But then again, it was also true that she couldn\'t remove it even if she wanted. Not that she would, he was certain.

Rean looked at Frasco, and the guy seemed absolutely certain. "Fine! I had no intention of causing the Dragon Race any trouble as long as they never caused trouble to me, either. It was more of a leverage in case I was captured again, or something happened. Now that I got senior Gragatou\'s assurance, I don\'t really need it anymore."

Rean then took out his communication badge and made a few changes. A moment later, Frasco received a notification in his own communication badge. Immediately, a whole new window of options appeared to him, something he didn\'t know was possible before.

"To think you could do so many things without us knowing..." Frasco sighed. "How many of our personal conversations have you listened to?"

"None!" Rean immediately answered with resolve. "You were right. You Dragon Race took good care of my wife and kid. I had no reason to go after your own secrets. Of course, this is something I really can\'t prove. Whether you believe me or not, that\'s up to you."

Frasco nodded. "So be it. Still, the fact I have access to this doesn\'t mean you don\'t. What I want is for you to be out of it, or we won\'t feel safe with our own communication system."

Rean then threw his badge to Frasco. Usually, a communication badge was bound to its user, and only he could use it. However, Rean invented it, so his own badge was obviously different. "You can pass it over to any of your trusted Formations Masters who are well-versed in the communication system. They will be able to tell that only this badge had this kind of access until a moment ago. It will also allow you to pry into the most intricate parts of the programming of the system, which they can use to check it."

Frasco looked at that badge and then back at Rean. "Let me ask you, and I want a sincere answer. Even if you have lost this badge, would you be able to find your way into the system on your own through some other method?"

Rean smiled in response. "That will depend on your Formations masters. No one knows the communication system better than me." At the same time, Rean thought. \'Well, Havek probably knows better after this long, but he doesn\'t count.\' and then he continued to talk. "If you don\'t build a good enough protection, then I believe I can find my way into it and hide my traces."

Frasco narrowed his eyes for a moment. Rean had no reason to reveal that information, but Frasco wouldn\'t believe otherwise, even if Rean said he couldn\'t do such a thing. "That\'s awfully sincere of you."

How could Rean care at this point? "Would you rather I said something else?"

"No," Frasco shook his head, satisfied. "We will do our best to overcome the flaws." Then...

*Crash!*

Frasco destroyed Rean\'s communication badge. He already checked, and it basically had the access that his own badge has now. There was no need for it to exist anymore, especially since Rean\'s badge could work in the hands of others.

Frasco turned around and began to make his way back to the Dragon Race Nests. But not before ordering the other Dragons around. "Rean and his group are free to stay, but they are not allowed into the communication system\'s core."

"Understood!" All the Dragons around accepted the orders, going back to their posts.

Rean shrugged his shoulders. As long as he could see Qia and his daughter, he was fine with that.

Rean hadn\'t really told Qia and Calina that his group had returned since he wanted to make a surprise, so he began to imagine their faces when he suddenly appeared. However, as he made his way to the System Sect in the Dragon Race, Sister Orb\'s voice echoed in his mind. Not only in his but Roan\'s as well.

[Rean, Roan, it seems like Hex is trying to contact you.]

Sister Orb knew that the twins would want to talk to Hex one day, so she analyzed the device he left behind and made it so that the device could receive messages from outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Otherwise, Hex would never be able to communicate with them if they didn\'t bring that Hexagon out of the Dimensional Realm.

\'Hex?\' Rean and Roan asked back. \'What could he want from us?\'
