System voice rang in his head, making Alex smile gleefully.

Finally he had the chance to make her reveal the information regarding Jake to complete the task.

It's been a while since he got this task and now he has started to complete it.

"....Why are you telling me this? Did you forget that I already know it?"

Alex turns on his acting, giving her bewildered look as if really not understanding why Rita is saying all this to him.

Maybe Rita having the short-long term memory loss but we all know that when Alex met with Rita, He broke her defense by revealing her "secret" identity.

He even brought out Jenny, A best friend of Rita saying she killed Jenny to force her to make a first move.

He crushed her in their little spar, Hence why she gave him the Mister Death nickname as she misunderstood him thinking the death came to rip her as the information he revealed, not known by anyone, not even Dragon gate knows it.

So it is reasonable for someone like him to already know about the identity of Rita.

Or is it too much to expect logical reasoning from the heroine?

"...You knew?!!"

Rita didn't know what she expected to happen when she revealed the news, but it was not it.

Her closed eyes shot open looking straight at Alex's bewildered expression.

For a moment she couldn't process what he said but when it hit her, she blurted out her question in astonishment.

How could he know about the Dragon Gate information? They have quite a tight grip on what goes in and out.

'Rat, Of course how could I forget??'

Rita then had a sudden realization. She before did think of the possibility of a rat inside the organization, however now she was sure it was not just the possibility there is really a rat in them, no matter how absurd that idea seems.

Every member of the organization is a die hard loyal follower of the Dragon gate, for the ultimate goal of to destroy evil and restore the goodness in the world.

Maybe indoctrination since infancy played a little role but it was Rita was sure their loyalty was mostly because of the greater good.

'Wait!? Should I inform them about it or…'

Rita after concluding there is a Rat in organization, has fallen into the conundrum, On one hand all her training and the indoctrination telling her to go straight to the Dragon lord with this information.

No matter how much she did not like the current dragon lord, she still has a lot of goodwill towards the dragon gate itself, having such a dangerous security breach can threaten the whole existence of the gate itself.

However on the other hand, It was Alex, going with this information to the gate is also meaning betraying the trust of his telling her this information.

She found herself in the tug war between logic and love, choosing either side meaning forsaking the other.

"Yes Of course I knew about it, I also knew about the "secret attack" on Jake you talked about, He was indeed injured, falling from S-rank powerhouse to peak B-rank.

His dear master seeing her favorite student losing, sent him out in seclusion for more practice, but it was quite clear that she did it to prevent him from being attacked in his weak state, breaking the survival of the fittest law of the gate."

Alex ignoring her inner turmoil just revealed the "secret" of Jake. the dragon gate lord.

As mentioned before, Dragon gate has the one rule and that is survival of the fittest.

Inside fighting is not only allowed but also encouraged by the organization, as that is the only way to improve the standing and get promotion in the organization.

No one is exempt from this law, not even the lord of the dragon gate. As long as someone attacked and defeated the current lord taking the dragon ring from them, they were immediately promoted to the dragon lord position.

Of course, until then every member has to be loyal to the lord and follow every order of hers, as long as that order does not directly prevent them from attacking the lord.

Which is why the master of protagonists hurriedly sent Jake away under the guise of needing more training because she knew the first attack on Jake was meant to fail, as its purpose was to just weaken him.

It was the 2nd attack, a real battle for the dragon throne, and they were ready for strike it, but his master interfered, throwing cold water on their plans, making all those sacrifices they made to weaken an S-rank Jake worthless, making everyone in the gate dissatisfied by such action of previous dragon lord.

That mysterious master knowing the consequences of it still made such a move, however she would have never thought that for an apprentice she took such a risk, ignored her warning and was wandering in the wild.

"No, it's…n-not…possible."

Rita could not believe what Alex said, after all in her eyes, S-rank is like a goddess in this mortal realm, she couldn't fathom that they could get hurt by anyone/anything other than other S-rank.

And in dragon gate there were only two confirmed S-ranks, One is former dragon lord and other is the current dragon lord Jake.

It is impossible for the previous dragon lord to attack her beloved student, So how come Jake got injured and fell into the B-rank?

Also she couldn't imagine that mysterious master, a previous dragon, would break the one and only law of the gate.

It is unreasonable as she was the one who opposed to discard this law strongly before saying the struggle for the power in the gate push all members to be their peak potential, alway ready for fight and well prepared.

She did added a clause in it that killing is forbidden, other than that anything is allowed.

"Are you saying I am a liar? If I were you, I would choose my next words carefully."

Alex, hearing Rita's mummering, leaned forward, making his face just a few centimeters away from her face, as he said looking directly into her dark brown eyes.

(A/N : Sorry guys, I was sick and also I kinda became addicted to playing a game in the meantime, Hence why no update for a week, I am feeling better now so I try my best to upload at least 1 chapter a day like before.

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day 😁.)
