“D-do you intend to use gangsters for your skincare promotion?”Rex nodded without hesitation, causing Molly to be shocked. He smiled as he said, “They are afraid of me. I can force them to use my skincare brand. They will use it at school to attract attention.”“That’s interesting. But I doubt the outcome,” Molly responded, biting her thumb.Promotion of skincare brands was usually carried out by beauty influencers and it was effective. Molly thought Rex would do that, so she hesitated because her young master brought the high school gangsters into the promotion.“Auntie, we will not know if we don’t try.”Molly tried to shake off her doubts because Rex looked confident. But still, she felt that Rex’s way of promotion was too absurd. She was worried that the delinquents would destroy Rex’s business instead of making it famous.“I know what you are thinking,” Rex laughed briefly. “People will remember my brand if the promotion is unique. That’s why we need those delinquents. After all
On a deserted street, Struthia city. Ken looked at the people who were fighting each other. The screams, the sound of blows, and the clash of weapons could be heard clearly. He ended up here because of Rex.The young man had suddenly come to him this afternoon, ordering him to attack the gangs asking restaurant owners for money. Ken initially wanted to refuse because the gangs were managed by Gert, one of the bosses at an evil organization.However, Rex threatened to kill him if he refused. Ken had no choice but to comply. Furthermore, the young man also gave him a lot of money. He used the money to hire powerful people he knew.The fight between the thugs had been going on since an hour ago. Many had fallen because of the fight. Midnight was approaching and they were getting tired, but it seemed like neither of them would stop until one side gave up.“We will not lose to weak thugs like you!”“Watch your mouth! I will take you to hell with me.”“I will kill you! You think I’m scared
Chelsea heard that Rex had interfered with Aindrea’s business last night. However, she received no thanks from the young man. Her steps stopped when she saw Rex enter the classroom without greeting her. The young man really ignored her. They communicated only by exchanging messages, and on average all the chats only discussed The Devastating Blow. She once sent messages asking how Rex was doing but got no answer. With an annoyed look on her face, Chelsea walked into the classroom and sat down where she could see Rex. Her eyes never left Rex, watching his every move.Ting!Chelsea blinked when the message notification sounded. Her face lit up a little, thinking Rex was the one who sent her the message. But when she opened it, she instead received a message from Dante.Chelsea’s body stiffened, feeling surprised because the head of the organization had never contacted her at all. She came to feel that the message was important.The message told Chelsea to meet Dante at the mansion imme
Rex deliberately ignored Chelsea’s messages because he was determined to only take advantage of her. If Dante intended to kill the girl, he would not care.There were more important things to do than taking care of Chelsea. Today Rex intended to talk business with Molly. As soon as all the classes were over, he went straight out and waited for Molly to pick him up.“Hey, Rex!” someone suddenly greeted Rex while tapping him on the shoulder.Rex did not know who the person was but he kept smiling. “Hello! Are you also waiting for a taxi?”“Nah. I’m waiting for my driver. Anyway, tonight the Lace family is having a birthday party for Dionne. Are you coming there too?”“Tonight?”The person nodded. “Yes, tonight. Do you want to come along?”“Dionne didn’t invite me. I can’t enter if I don’t have an invitation card,” Rex answered with a smile.Abelard, that person, put his arm around Rex’s shoulder and whispered, “Actually, Lennart told me to approach you. He wants you to come to the birthd
Dionne took a deep breath, she was hesitant to open all the gifts. But she could not back down because it was her birthday party. All the guests wanted her to open it.To be honest, she did not expect Rex to come. But since the young man came, she felt a bit confused. She was afraid that Rex would be insulted by other people. Because she believed Rex could not afford to bring expensive gifts like her other friends.As if reading Dionne’s thoughts, Seren immediately stepped up and took the gift from the table, and gave it to Dionne.“What are you thinking about? Let’s open the gifts from mom and dad first!”Dionne nodded and then she opened the box her parents gave her. And how surprised she was when she opened it. It turned out that there was a key to a luxury car along with the greeting cards. She immediately hugged and kissed her parents happily.“Mom and dad bought me a car?” she asked.Seren nodded then returned to hug her beloved daughter. “Of course, honey. Mom and dad can’t pos
Rex looked back in confusion. He looked at Kenneth as he said, “Is there anything I can help you with—”BUGH!“How dare you tease Dionne!” snapped Kenneth after throwing a punch to Rex’s face.His breath was panting with anger. He kicked Rex in the face until fresh blood came out of the mouth of the man he had beaten. One right punch to Rex’s face.Rex fell to the ground until his elbows were bleeding. He frowned when he saw Kenneth clenching his fists in anger. Kenneth pulled his collar, then punched him in the face many times. He could not fight back because Kenneth put all his strength into hitting.“Hey, let’s talk first!” Rex crossed his arms over his face until Kenneth stopped.However, Kenneth instead kicked Rex who was trying to stand up. “You poor man! You don’t deserve to be around Dionne!”Today should be a great day for Kenneth. He could get closer to Dionne through tonight’s party. However, Rex’s presence made him very angry.“I feel sorry for your parents. They raised chi
The next morning in a quite luxurious house, where the Lace family lived. A beautiful-looking girl was seen coming down the stairs that led to the dining room.Dionne could not have breakfast with her parents today. Thus, she told them so they would not misunderstand.“What are you going to do anyway? You don’t usually go to campus this early.” Seren glanced briefly at her daughter while munching on her food.“I have campus activities that can’t be left behind, Mom,” Dionne replied, glancing at her watch.“You have to remember your mother’s message. Don’t approach other men because you are already betrothed to Kenneth. He is a suitable husband for you because he comes from the same rich family as ours.”For the umpteenth time, Seren reminded her daughter about this, to the point that sometimes it made Dionne feel bored because she kept hearing similar sentences coming out.“Yes, Mom. I understand. I also don’t want to embarrass our family.” Dionne had surrendered herself if she really
Kenneth parked the car right in front of the office. He took out his tablet, then checked the news about him written in the article. He smiled happily after being satisfied with the result.After that, Kenneth got out of the car and entered his room with a cheerful face. However, his expression changed when he saw a red box lying on his desk. His mood instantly changed.“Hey! Who put this box carelessly? I should kick those careless employees too!”An annoyed Kenneth kicked the box so it fell to the floor. The red box toppled over, knocking the lid open. When he took a closer look at the box, his eyes widened with a scream.“ARGHHHH!”His screams reached outside the room. He covered his mouth in shock. Red liquid poured out of the box. The last thing that came out was two eyeballs rolling toward him.“Bodyguards!” called Kenneth in a loud voice.The bodyguard immediately opened the door wide, while the employees who were working stopped their activities. They stared curiously at the Bo
Five years ago, Chelsea escaped from Infinity because she did not want to be a spy anymore. She was fed up with missions that always put her life on the line. While everyone was preparing for war, she secretly ran away to a place she thought no one would reach. Tigris Island was Chelsea's destination at the time. Since the island was filled with evil energy sources and poisonous plants, humans rarely came here. Chelsea would stay on Tigris Island until everyone forgot about her existence. Unfortunately, her plan did not go smoothly due to the arrival of other people. "Huh? Who are they? Why did they come here?" Just then, Coup de Grace troops came to the island. Chelsea had no idea who they were until she saw Nolan carrying Dionne and Selena. "Isn't that Rex's girlfriend?" Chelsea wrinkled her forehead. She was hiding behind a rock at the moment. "Damn it. I came to the wrong place. But I can't run away now because they will realize my existence." Chelsea had hidden her aura earl
On the other side, Nolan still had some energy left despite the massive damage to his chest. He watched Iordan's death with an angry face. If Iordan died, then so would he. Nolan did not want to die like this. With his left power, he could launch the ultimate attack on Rex. But before Nolan could do that, Molly suddenly ran towards him and stabbed his body repeatedly while laughing."Auntie...?" Rex's voice reached Molly's ear, and she immediately stopped stabbing Nolan. Suddenly, memories began to flash across her head. It was the memories of Rex calling her "aunty." She remembered how cheerful she and the Quillon family were when Rex could talk. Little Rex called her with a sweet smile, warming her heart. At that moment, Molly thought, 'I will protect this child whatever it takes'. She devoted her life to caring for Rex and wanted him to live a happy life. For this reason, she was willing to sacrifice Dionne because she thought Rex would be more ambitious. Her thoughts returned
Nolan's body shuddered as he retained the memory of Arthur attacking him with the Hellfire Blade Technique. He remembered exactly how Arthur had beaten him back using that technique. Back then, he still had incredible endurance. But his body was different now after rising from the dead. He was indeed relatively stronger than the average top-level cultivator. Still, Nolan was not as strong as he used to be. He was a little worried, but he was sure Rex was less strong than Arthur. Besides, he also held a secret that would make Rex focus distracted. "The girl you love is probably dead by a shark. It's not my fault because Molly is in charge! A few days ago, she came to one of my sect's bases and told my people Dionne's location." Rex lost his focus because he heard something surprising. Of course, he refused to believe Molly was the mastermind behind Dionne's kidnapping. Molly had been with him since childhood, so the faith between them was firmly established. What made Rex doubt wa
Edmund and Lennart looked at Erick in despair. They did not know what to do to save their master. Since they faced a dragon spirit, they became pessimistic. "I don't think I can finish this," Lennart said, hanging his head in shame. "The divine energy I'm directing keeps getting eaten up by that dragon spirit."Morris looked away from Erick. Before going to Floria, he had opposed Erick's plan to use Inferno Dragon's Breath. The dragon spirit could not be dealt with by anyone in Histrio due to its rare existence. However, Erick still insisted on using the forbidden technique because the undead army could only be defeated with it. In other words, Erick already knew the risks of using Inferno Dragon's Breath. He was ready to die. He had no regrets if he had to die today. "Y-you can stop," Erick stammered. He sounded agonized to even utter a single word. Edmund shook his head. "I won't stop, Master!"Erick smiled faintly. His gaze began to blur. He was painful that he had to leave th
Floria had received an attack from Coup de Grace minutes after Nolan arrived at the presidential palace. The associations and affiliates on guard there immediately restrained the enemies from going to other cities. Armies in other cities did not report any attacks from Coup de Grace. That meant Coup de Grace entered Histrio through Floria because Jaylen helped Nolan. The other cities had been guarded by security forces, making infiltration difficult. For this reason, Coup de Grace would destroy Floria first before attacking other cities. The security forces' mentality would be disturbed if they saw their colleagues die. That was Coup de Grace's goal in targeting Floria. This demonic sect brought powerful fighters with an army of undead. "Everyone, watch out for the undead!" Sander shouted as he fired at the undead, still moving even after being shot. "We don't know how to defeat them. So be careful until we find a way!" Dante did not report on how to defeat Nolan's undead army be
Rex faced the fighters from Coup de Grace while thinking about Dante's report. The report was sent regularly to the NSS when Dante was not yet suspected by Nolan. The report explained that Nolan's followers did not learn necromancy techniques. Nolan taught them Demonic Blood Cultivation. Cultivators had to use the evil energy in their blood to use this cultivation technique. They would go through meditation and particular movements to channel the evil energy. Once successful, they would gain extraordinary strength. Their attacks were deadly, their movements were agile, and their endurance was incredible. "Are you Rex Quillon?" a Coup de Grace member asked as he blocked Rex's attack. "My name is Caius. You should know the name of the person who will kill you."Rex kicked Caius, sending his enemy flying five meters away. Yet, Caius could still stand tall as if nothing had happened. "Are you Arthur's son? You're weaker than expected," Caius smiled mockingly. Rex responded to the ins
Some of the leaders in Infinity looked down in fear as Rex walked up to them. They were Mikael, Jon, Steen, and Viggo. Before working under the Quillon family, they had full control over their business. But everything changed after the Quillon family took over their organization. They no longer had full power and had to get Bertel's permission before making any decisions. Meanwhile, Bertel needed permission from Rex or Elder Han. They were irritated with the system in Infinity but could do nothing about it. That's why they were so happy when they discovered the Quillon family's weakness. Unlucky for them, Rex tricked them."P-Please forgive us!" Steen was the first to admit his mistake. He knelt to Rex, followed by the others. "We are regretful of betraying you. But we're different from Susanne, so forgive us!" Rex kept the spear on his shoulder and looked at Steen with raised eyebrows. "What makes you different from Susanne?""We've never had any contact with Nolan or the Coup de
The message Cole sent made the veins of anger stand out on Rex's forehead and neck. His reaction after reading the message made the others curious. "What's wrong?" asked Edmund, feeling uneasy. Rex returned the phone to Molly. "I don't have time to explain. Master Erick, please come with me. Then, the seven of you should go to see the leaders. Tell them to read Sir Cole's message." "I'll go, Young Master," Molly gestured for six people to accompany her. The others were still curious because Rex had also left them. But they could not do anything because they had to look after Floria. No one knew when Coup de Grace would attack. Meanwhile, Carlton and Elder Han had arrived at the pavilion as they were on guard. Rex and Erick came a short while later. "Nolan deliberately didn't attack because he had a hostage," Carlton said, clenching his fists. "He wanted to get the Silverstar clan out of the affiliation before attacking us." Rex said nothing, but he agreed with his father. No won
Meanwhile, Nolan stared at Cole while evading attacks coming from all sides. Although he was in a difficult situation, he did not look panicked or nervous. Cole looked back at Nolan with a stiff body. The memory of his daughter's death suddenly flashed. He recognized Nolan because the association deployed his face in the previous war. The anger Cole had been holding back for a long time finally rose to the surface. He could not control his emotions anymore. All his life, he had always hoped to meet Nolan and kill him. "You cursed human!"Cole ran towards Nolan while firing bullets. But Nolan avoided the shots easily while he still had to deal with another attack from the others. "I thought you'd be a little stronger after what I did to your family," Nolan taunted, jumping up and landing on a guard, crushing his head. He kicked while rotating, so his kick directly hit five people. The heads of the five instantly separated from their bodies. The others stared at him in shock. They
