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
Dionne kept checking her cell phone all the way home, hoping that Rex would reply to her messages. She knew her wish would not come true since the young man was sick, but she kept reading their message history because she was worried.“We have arrived at the mansion.”The driver’s voice pulled Dionne from her reverie. It took twenty minutes to get from campus to the Lace family mansion. Nevertheless, she felt she had only been sitting in the car for five minutes.She did not realize that the car had arrived at the mansion. After thanking the driver, Dionne got out of the car and planned to study in her room.Her plans seemed to be delayed because her parents were having guests. Dionne saw a white car parked in front of the mansion. She could guess the price of the car by its good parts.“Is dad meeting with his business partner?”Dionne had to welcome her parents’ guest as a courtesy. She walked into the house and greeted an old man she did not know.“Is she your daughter?” the old ma
On the other side, the alliance noticed a fight in the prison room. Because no one broke into the bunker, they believed Rex and Morris started the fight.They wasted no time to ran toward the prison room and luckily, they met the people they were looking for in the hallway.“You two are brilliant. How can you get rid of those strong handcuffs?” Ben spoke while looking at Rex and Morris. This was the first time he would fight the Quillon family’s young master.He did not have time for revenge because he was busy taking care of the losses caused by the Liourdis family. After the Quillon family bankrupted his business partner, Ben had to take care of various things to keep his other businesses running.Ben was an organization boss who rarely got into fights. However, he decided to fight against Rex this time. He wanted to beat up the people who had messed up his business.Other people slowly showed up in the bunker hallway because they had heard of the fight as well. Dante and Gert also
Rex ignored Vera because he could still fight without weapons. As long as he focused on fighting, then he could avoid enemy weapons. As several people lunged at him, he ducked and grabbed Ben. “Argh, let go of me!”The others tried to free their friend but failed because Rex moved as quickly as lightning. He used Ben’s body to hit the people in front of him. Those who were too late to avoid flew into the bunker wall. Vera growled when she saw that. She already knew that Molly was training Rex, but she did not expect the young man to develop in a short time. In the end, she decided to join the fight.The woman would strike from a distance because her weapon was poisonous needles. The weapon could be thrown from a distance of five meters. All Vera had to do was figure out the right distance and time to throw the needle.Meanwhile, Rex realized Vera was up to something. He always darted his eyes in all directions during the fight. As a result, he could notice when someone was acting di
Q Clan had just arrived in the poisonous snake forest when Rex came out of the bunker. They immediately ran towards him while calling out ‘Young Master’. Molly stood at the front with Elder Han; her eyes filled with tears when she saw Rex’s condition.“Don’t worry. I’m fine,” Rex said before Clan Q started to speak. He gave them a warm smile. “Thank you for coming to help me.”“Can his wound be treated?” asked Molly, looking at Erick for an answer. She knew very well that Erick also had extraordinary medication ability. Erick nodded, making Q Clan heave a sigh of relief. “We must quickly leave here to treat the Young Master.”“Sure, Sir. You can go ahead. We will catch up behind you.”After Molly said that, Morris was forced to give Rex to Erick. He realized he could not keep up with Erick’s speed, so he would leave Rex’s safety to the old man.Erick dashed as fast as light, just as everyone had predicted. The Clan Q did not immediately catch up with him because they wanted to confir
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
