Since last night, Julio had been planning to convince Chelsea to join his plan. Therefore, the first person he looked for when he arrived at the campus was Chelsea, not Sebastian.“Can we talk, please?” Julio asked in a loud voice when he noticed Chelsea walking towards the campus gates.Chelsea furrowed her brows when she heard someone approaching her. She quickened her pace as soon as she realized Julio was trying to talk to her. If she responded to that man, nothing good would happen.Meanwhile, Julio realized Chelsea ignored him and chose to run after the girl. “There’s something I want to talk to you about. It will not be long. I promise,” Julio spoke once he got close to Chelsea.Chelsea snorted in annoyance. “I don’t want to,” she said without turning her head.That negative response created unhappiness in Julio’s mind. He glared at Chelsea, his ex-girlfriend. When they were still dating, Chelsea was always nice to him. It differed from what happened today. Julio came to know C
A man standing in a dark room, holding a dagger. The man was wearing a white shirt wrapped in a black vest. His shirt was rolled up to his elbows, exposing a skull tattoo.There was also a tattoo on his neck, as if his entire body had been tattooed. The tattooed man was Luke. In front of him, a naked man sitting on the floor with his hands tied up.The wind blew, piercing the naked man’s skin and causing him to tremble. His body trembled not only from the cold, but also from the fear of the dagger in Luke’s hand.The naked man was Jack, a traitor. Jack used to be a member of The Devastating Blow, a large underworld organization. He sold the secrets of his group to another organization. Unfortunately, he was caught by Luke while trying to make a transaction and ended up being dragged into this dark room.“Please accept my apologies, boss! I swear I will never do it again.”Jack knew Luke was cruel to traitors, but he still begged forgiveness out of desperation.“If I am kind, there wil
“Thanks for the information, Alexis. You don’t have to worry because my bodyguards are always protecting me. Would you like to eat with us?”Alexis could not help but smile when he heard Rex’s words. It turned out that the kind-hearted Rex would respond as he expected. However, he had to pretend to refuse because he did not want Rex to know his intentions.“I’m sorry. I don’t think I deserve to eat with you,” Alexis said as he lowered his head.His lie could be noticed by Chelsea who immediately frowned in disgust. She admitted that she also betrayed Julio. But it was not a big deal, as they had only known each other for a few months. It was different from Alexis who had been friends with Julio for years.If someone could betray his friend so easily, then such an incident could happen again in the future. Chelsea did not want Rex to get in trouble because of Alexis. She had to keep him from trivial matters since she wanted to use Rex for herself.“He said he doesn’t want to eat with u
Rex had finished his sandwich and only had to wait five more minutes to pretend he was poisoned. However, before he could do that, six people suddenly approached his table. He had never met or even made trouble with them before.They seemed to be students from other departments. Rex was sure they came to do something to him because their gazes were focused on him when Alexis and Chelsea were there, too.“Hey, do you guys need something?” Chelsea was the first to ask because she knew the people. They were Archer’s best friend, the man who had always chased her, and the son of a famous lawyer in the country.“We need to talk to him.” A big man pointed at Rex. “Could you come with us for a bit?” he asked kindly because he did not want to make a commotion.Meanwhile, Alexis, who wanted to look good in front of Rex, immediately took action. He stood up and looked at the big man boldly. “Rex is my friend. You are all too suspicious. Aren’t you from the law department? We have no problem wit
Luke had many subordinates, and they were all scattered all over the country. It made it easier for him to get the latest news. Some time ago, he got a message from Toby explaining that Rex had been taken to the hospital.It only meant one thing. The young master of the Quillon family was indeed so weak that he could not deal with the poison. Luke had known young masters from other rich families, and most of them were immune to poison.“What are you thinking, boss?”Luke stopped staring at his cell phone screen when he heard the voice of Corwin, his right-hand man. “I was thinking about a weak young master. He is a bit different. I think he is hiding something,” he replied calmly.“Some people prefer to hide their identity and pretend to be weak. But I’m sure the young master of the Quillon family isn’t.” Corwin had joined The Devastating Blow and knew how to keep up with Luke. “Everyone who had met him said he was often sick.”“Well, I also know that our leader has met him. Is he tha
Morris arrived at the hospital after finding out that Rex was poisoned. His young master was immune to poison, but he was worried that someone had given Rex a deadly poison. He knew that the Quillon family’s enemies were always looking for ways to carry out their attacks, one of which was by making poison that Rex could not handle.Rex disappeared from the public eye when he was young. Since then, no one knew of his whereabouts. But still, someone had poisoned him today. It only meant one thing: the bullies had leaked Rex’s true identity.It seemed they shared that information with a brave person. Other rich families would not dare attack Rex because they realized how powerful the Quillon family was. The only ones who dared to do so were the people from the underworld.“What brings you here, sir?”Morris snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Ian’s voice. He had met Ian several times because the doctor worked at the Quillon family’s hospital. Ian had great respect for him after fin
“What are you going to do with Julio? You can’t just let him go.” Morris spoke irritably at the memory of what Julio had done to Rex. He hoped his young master would allow him to finish off the annoying young man.However, Rex could not allow that to happen. When Morris intervened in his revenge plot, it would not be fun anymore. Julio was no match for Morris. In other words, Julio would die instantly when Morris interfered.“Calm down, uncle. His plan this time will turn around on himself,” said Rex, who was now sitting on his bed. He was tired of pretending to be lying down.Morris frowned, then massaged Rex’s shoulder as he realized his young master was sore. “Are you talking about Luke? He beats anyone he doesn’t like. If Julio is being rude, then he will be in the hospital after Luke beats him up.”“Julio may be a bad person, but he knows the situation. I’m sure he will not dare get into trouble with Luke. You remember what happened at the hotel that night, right?”“Of course. I
Chelsea thought Rex would not be curious about anything since she had saved his life. However, her assumption was wrong because it turned out that Rex was more careful than she thought. Even Alexis was also looking at her curiously.“No one realized that Rex was poisoned. How did you notice that? I don’t mean to suspect you, I’m just curious,” said Alexis intentionally trying to provoke Chelsea’s emotions.Because he played with Julio, he came to know that Chelsea was so bad-tempered. Chelsea had snapped at Julio several times. He hoped Chelsea would do the same to make Rex lose his feelings for the girl.However, Chelsea could control her emotions well. She would not be provoked by Alexis. With a calm face, she explained, “You must know that my family is rich. My family owns a resort business, if you don’t know.”“Well, I already knew about that. Why are you suddenly showing off about your family business?” Alexis interrupted because some time ago Chelsea did not get angry.“There ar
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
