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
Rex was allowed to leave the hospital at night. The only people who greeted him were the servants and bodyguards in the main mansion. His parents were on a business trip, not knowing that someone had poisoned him.He thought the news would make his parents worry and not focus on their business. That was why he forbade everyone to report that to his parents. He would talk about it when Carlton and Alyssa got home.“You don’t want to take a shower first?” Morris asked as he saw Rex walk into the practice room.Rex stopped to look at Morris. “I will do it after practice. Please tell everyone not to interfere with my practice, unless it’s something important.”Then he continued to walk and entered the practice room. He saw Molly stretching there. The woman remained focused on her stretching, even though she knew Rex was approaching her.“I asked Uncle Morris to increase my practice time. Did you know about that?” Rex asked because Molly did not greet him.“Yeah, I know. But I don’t want t
