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,
Edmund double-checked Lennart’s breathing and pulse to make sure that he was not dead. When he discovered that Lennart’s heart was still beating, he exhaled a sigh of relief. He could not relax, however, because Lennart was in a bad state.“His pulse is weak,” Edmund whispered as he carried Lennart’s body onto his shoulders.When he stood up, a woman and many people arrived out of nowhere. They surrounded him with suspicious expressions.Molly, the woman, observed Edmund and Lennart. She knew them both since she always kept an eye on the people around Rex.“What are you doing here? Why is Lennart injured?”Edmund responded calmly to the question, which was asked in a cold tone. “I’m not part of the alliance. Trust me. I don’t want to reveal my identity, but I’m Sir Erick’s secret disciple.”“Are you serious? You will be in trouble if you lie on Sir Erick's behalf.”“I understand you are suspicious of me. But you will not let Lennart die here, right?”Molly glanced at Lennart and immed
The Alliance had devised a plan to catch Rex as best they could. Dante deliberately chose the poisonous snake forest because he knew there was a bunker. Only certain people knew about the bunker.Neither the Quillon family nor anyone else would find it because the bunker had been built a long time ago. Dante could know the location of the bunker because his secret ‘sponsor’ told him. Thousands of years ago, the man in black glasses was a cultivator from a demonic sect. He was still alive today because of his cultivation. As a result, his knowledge surpassed that of most humans.The secret bunker was built before Carlton was born, when Histrio was at war with other countries. Because of that, it was understandable that Carlton was unaware of the bunker.When the alliance caught Rex, they brought him to the bunker. They tied Rex and Morris in strong handcuffs.“Sir, are you sure the Quillon family will not find us?” Gert asked Dante, who was checking the cuffs on Rex’s legs.“It’s been
