A few minutes later, the servants showed up to serve the tea and pastries. Julio was waiting in nervousness. Julio had never had tea with the rich before because he refused to learn etiquette. He was worried that he made a mistake that would embarrass him.“My family has a tea garden and this is the best tea picked,” Rex explained as the servant poured the tea.Julio pretended to listen in seriousness. In fact, he did not care where the tea came from. “Nice to hear that. I hope I can have a tea garden someday. It seems interesting,” he showed a fake smile. Meanwhile, Carlton and Alyssa gave no response. They started to drink their tea, followed by Rex. The way they drank tea was so elegant and it made Julio insecure. He did not know how to hold the tea cup properly.As a result, he was holding the teacup as he usually did. The servants in the living room noticed that and started whispering to each other while laughing. Julio could tell they were making fun of him because he had no ba
Rex talked about the Quillon family’s company birthday party to Julio. The party would be held in a few days on a private island. Only certain people could attend the party, but he said he would invite Julio.“I have never come to your family party before. Thank you for inviting me,” Julio smiled because he was really happy.The guests who attended the party must have come from high society and influential people. Julio’s family had never received an invitation to attend the party before. If he could be there, people would know him.Julio did not give Rex a chance to respond because he immediately went back to talking. “Can I invite my father or friends? They will not do anything bad at the party. They are also from the high class like us.”“My father limits the number of guests. But I think I can give you three invitation cards. Give them to your father and two friends,” Rex replied without a second thought.He had a reason why he agreed to Julio’s request. The company’s birthday par
Carlton was discussing his schedule with his secretary over the phone when he heard a knock on the door. The servants could not have dared to knock on his door because he had already warned them that he would be busy for a while.The one who came must be Rex. Without thinking twice, Carlton told his secretary that he would call back when his business was over. He then ended the call and went to open the door.“Is that annoying brat still around?” Carlton asked when he saw that Rex had only come with Morris.Rex chuckled and shook his head. He entered the room after receiving confirmation from his father. Morris also came in because they were going to talk about Miles Hesperia.The door was locked by Carlton as he realized this conversation would be personal. He took a seat in front of Rex and Morris.“I know daddy’s busy, so I will get straight to the point,” Rex said, showing a serious expression. “Luke report to me if Sir Miles joins the alliance. Do you know anything about that?”C
Rex did not always spend break time with Lennart because their classes had different study hours. Today he was in the dining hall alone while eating his lunch. He had expected Julio to come soon, as usual, to meet him.However, Julio came with Alexis this time. Rex was not confused or surprised because he had expected this. He knew Alexis would join the alliance with Julio to destroy him.“Alexis? What brings you here?” Rex pretended to ask in surprise.Alexis smiled and sat in front of Rex with Julio. “I came to apologize. After seeing Julio apologize to you, I realized that I never apologized sincerely.”“Actually, I forgave you a long time ago. But I stayed away from you because you were close to Chelsea. I thought you two worked together to play with my feelings.”“I understand why you are acting like that. Chelsea is a bad girl. She has also not been to college since a few days ago. I’m sure she’s lazy about going to college and chooses to waste her parents’ money.”Rex nodded an
In the car, Alexis could hear Edmund screaming. He also realized that Edmund was trying to stop him, but he pretended not to know since he had to bring Rex to the forest on time.“Is he your friend?” Rex asked because he also heard Edmund’s scream.Alexis pretended to look confused. “Huh? Which friend are you referring to?”“I saw someone screaming and chasing your car. If I’m not mistaken it’s Edmund from my department. Do you two know each other?”“No. I don’t know why he was chasing my car.”What Alexis said just now was the truth. He did not know why Edmund told him to stop. It was odd because he had not interacted with Edmund in a long time. After getting beaten up by Morris, he restrained himself from bullying others.“Looks like Edmund has something to tell you. You’d better stop for a while,” Rex suggested, feeling curious as to why Edmund was suddenly involved with Alexis.However, Alexis had no intention of stopping the car.“Why don’t you stop? I don’t think we are in a hur
At Struthia University.Lennart always paid close attention to the professor’s explanations. However, he could not focus on this lecture because of someone’s presence. He was sitting by the window and a man wearing glasses motioned for him to come out.Since he did not know the strange man, he decided to ignore him and focus on the lecture.“Sssh, do you know him?” Adelard, who was sitting beside Lennart, asked in a low voice.Lennart shook his head. “I don’t know him. Maybe he’s got the wrong person.”“But now he’s showing me a paper and writing Rex’s name on it. I think this is an important matter.”The disinterest on Lennart’s face faded away when he heard Rex’s name. Without thinking twice, he walked out of the class, ignoring the professor who asked him why he left. Everyone in the class was amazed since Lennart never left class like this. He also went out without packing his things first, as if he was being chased by zombies.Meanwhile, Edmund breathed a sigh of relief that he
At another forest entrance, Morris and the bodyguards were fighting the remaining enemies. They had defeated thirty-five people but the enemies kept coming. The alliance appeared to be purposely targeting them, so no one would protect Rex.The remaining enemies were stronger. They were different. Morris could tell if they had learned cultivation. A single blow from them could knock down trees and shatter the ground.The ordinary bodyguards immediately collapsed because they could not withstand this extraordinary power. Now Morris stood with ten bodyguards from Clan Q.“Watch out for them. Don’t let them see your step or you will get caught,” Morris warned before the fight continued.The enemies struck at the same time. They did not separate and continued together. It made the opponents difficult to attack them because they helped each other.They did not even falter even though Morris had pulled out a gun. They worked together to dodge his shot. If one person could not see the directi
Julio noticed a change in Lennart’s expression and realized the man knew nothing about the alliance. He became confused about whether he should attack Lennart or not.“What did you say? My father joined the alliance?” Lennart asked to make sure he had not misheard anything.However, Julio chose not to talk about Miles. He should not have said anything about the alliance. It was a foolhardy act if the other person did not know about that.“Knock Lennart and that nerd! We can’t kill them until we get confirmation from Sir Miles.”Fergus nodded and aimed the gun at Lennart’s feet so his opponent could not escape. However, before he could pull the trigger, someone suddenly dashed toward him and kicked his hand.The surprise attack caused Fergus to lose his weapon. The gun flew and landed on the ground, but no one scrambled to pick it up.Everyone was taken aback because Edmund had just launched the attack. Even Lennart, who had accompanied him, looked surprised.While they were on campus,
