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,
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
