Fifteen minutes later, Julio finally came with this year’s newest model car. Everyone complimented him as he got down from the car, revealing his expensive clothes. Only Dionne did not say anything about that man. Julio moved to open the car door for Dionne. The girl got into the car without saying thank you. He clenched his fists, a sign that he was annoyed with the girl’s behavior.They drove for a few minutes until they finally arrived at a hotel. The Quillon family rented a five-star hotel to hold the party.Dionne looked all around as she walked into the ballroom. She thought she should leave this place as soon as possible.Lots of people attended this party. Julio and the Lace family approached several people to talk to. Almost all of those present were important people.However, Dionne did not care about them because she was still thinking about how to escape. She would rather live a hard life every day than marry a man like Julio.Julio always said good things in front of Dio
Julio was confused and scared. He had to come face to face with Rex, the man he thought was dead. His guts sank when he was in front of Rex. He wanted to avoid admitting his defeat, but now he had to lower his pride in front of many people.If Julio did not apologize now, his life might be over. The Quillon family was not going to just let him go after what happened.“I’m sorry,” Julio was forced to apologize when he did not want to do it. He was not willing to admit his defeat.However, the fear made Julio put aside his feelings of shame and dignity. The atmosphere in the room became quiet as he continued his words again.“Actually, I’m just kidding about proposing to Dionne, hahaha! I know you like her. There’s no way I will steal the girl you love.”Rex remained silent while putting on a straight face when he heard what Julio said. He was irritated with that annoying man’s behavior. Take what was happening right now as a joke? What a funny and strange thing when he thought about i
Carlton caught everyone’s attention when he approached Rex. He whispered to his son that he would introduce Rex on the stage. The introduction had been planned beforehand. That was why Rex immediately did what Carlton said. He went on stage with his father.Molly, who was on stage, turned on the mic and gave it to Carlton. She was very happy because today was the day when Carlton would reveal Rex’s true identity.“Hello, good evening everyone,” Carlton used the mic to speak. “Maybe tonight was a bit strange and gave a bad impression because of the unexpected incident. But allow me to introduce someone.”Carlton stopped his speech to put his arm around Rex’s shoulder. “This young man standing beside me is Rex Quillon, my son and sole heir of the Quillon family,” he continued proudly.Hearing what Carlton said, everyone became amazed. They already knew Rex’s real identity. But still, they did not expect Carlton to announce his successor so suddenly.“Gosh, I didn’t think Mr. Carlton wo
Rex’s words surprised them all. A man named Jorge immediately worked up the courage to speak in front of Rex.“What exactly do you want from us?” asked Jorge, confused.Rex grinned as he answered, “I want you all to bully Julio. I want him to feel what he did to me before. He must suffer no matter what. Can you all do what I want?”Hearing that, everyone immediately fell silent. They understood Rex’s intentions. However, they still hesitated to nod in agreement.“We can’t do it because Larry’s influence is strong. Our family is not as rich as his,” Jorge replied honestly.Rex understood what they were afraid of. “Don’t worry. Julio’s father’s company is now destroyed.”Everyone became very surprised for the second time. They did not expect it to come.It turned out that Rex could destroy Julio’s family company in a short time. They thought he was just a kind-hearted guy.But the young man implied that he would crush anyone who got in his way. What a horror. They had to be careful with
The room was still silent for the next few minutes because Rex had said nothing. He still tried to understand the situation. An expression of disbelief was clear on his face.“If you guys aren’t my parents, then who are my real parents?” Rex finally said something. “I’m sure the Quillon family wouldn’t raise a child for no reason.”Carlton felt an ache in his heart when he saw Rex’s face. The day had finally come, the day he had to tell the truth about Rex’s parents. “Listen carefully to what I’m saying because I’m not sure I can repeat this story a second time.”Everyone in the room, except Rex and Dionne, had known about the story. Nonetheless, they kept serious faces and listened carefully to Carlton’s words.“This is a story before you were born, Rex. The Quillon family had two sons. I, Carlton, rule the business world. And Arthur, who rules the underworld with the Q Clan. Arthur is my brother and he’s your real father.”Rex could not give any reaction because he was surprised fr
Alyssa had been silent since earlier because she could not control her emotions. She was worried she would cry when she told Rex about Arthur and Jocelyn. But she had to say something when she found out that Rex was intent on revenge.“You can’t hold grudge against Nolan!” Alyssa said, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. She took a deep breath and then explained the reason why she forbade Rex to take revenge.“When your mother gave you to me, she wanted me to hide the demonic sect incident. Your mother didn’t want you to grow up with a grudge since childhood. She wanted you to live a normal life, like any other child. Therefore, you don’t have to do anything against that demonic sect.”Rex understood Alyssa’s feelings. He understood that his mother wanted to keep Jocelyn’s will. It was his birth mother’s last will. Alyssa would keep the will since it was Jocelyn’s last request.However, Rex would not obey Alyssa this time. He could not stay silent without doing anything
The night turned into day and Rex got ready to go to campus. He was accompanied by a driver and drove a luxury car.Everyone stared at him as he arrived at the campus and got out of the car. Rex immediately scanned the surroundings, still not used to people’s reactions. No one dared to look at him now. They all lowered their heads when Rex looked at them or walked past them. There was no longer any sound of ridicule from people who usually humiliate him.Rex took a deep breath. They must be acting like that because they already knew his identity. He noticed several people blatantly avoiding him.‘They now respect me because I’m a member of the Quillon family.’The fact that people respected his status irritated Rex. However, he tried to be ignorant. He climbed up the stairs to reach his class. People who were sitting or standing on the stairs immediately turned their heads away.Suddenly, one of them bumped into Rex by accident.“P-PLEASE FORGIVE ME!” the man shouted without looking
After the class finished, Rex went to the office he would use to run his business. Some rooms were still empty because the business would officially run next week.Edmund did not go with Rex because he was waiting for Lennart. They both would come together later. Rex came first because he wanted to tidy up the office first.The office was not very large because Rex’s business was small. His parents were concerned about him, who was still in college. They were worried that Rex would not focus on studying because he was taking care of a big business. As a result, Rex was only permitted to build a small business.Rex had just finished cleaning the office when he heard a knock on the door. “The door is unlocked! You can come in,” he shouted, knowing who it was.Not long after, the door was opened by Edmund and Lennart. They waved their hands when they saw Rex walking towards them.“You are finally here.”“Of course. I had promised to help. If your business becomes successful, you will hav
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
