Nothing special happened on the first day of college. Rex had expected it because people tended to stay away from him. He was wearing a shirt and pants that were almost faded in color. From his appearance, people must have thought that he came from a poor family.
Rex was also sure that sooner or later someone would bully him like before. Still, he hoped to make normal friends with some people at college. He thought of his plan as he walked toward his department class.Because he was too focused on daydreaming, Rex did not pay attention to the road and bumped into someone. His mouth was tightly shut in fascination with the person he bumped into. That person was a girl with brown hair and shining hazel eyes.“Gosh, I’m sorry! Are you all right?”It should be Rex’s dialogue. He was guilty of having bumped into someone. However, the girl instead became the one to apologize, even though she do nothing. The girl looked worried when she saw him pick up his books, which had fallen to the ground.“You don’t need to help me,” Rex said before the girl crouched down to help him. Then he stood up after taking all his books. He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry for bumping into you.”“I was wrong for walking while playing with my cell phone. If I don’t do that, then you won’t hit me either,” the girl replied with a sweet smile.Rex blinked in disbelief because he was rarely treated well. For a moment, he thought about making the brunette girl his friend. He threw those thoughts away because the girl had a beautiful face and perfect body shape, the type of person who would be the attention center.Popular people were not a match for Rex, who did not even know fashion. They would get embarrassed if they were friends with him. Therefore, Rex decided not to have a relationship with the girl. He should approach someone who had the same condition as him.“I-I have to go. I’m sorry for bumping into you,” Rex said with a bow and would have left immediately if someone did not hold his hand.It turned out that the girl was holding his hand with a curious expression. “Would you like to go to a Business Management class? I’m just guessing because it looks like you’re walking that way.”“That’s right. I’m a Business Management student,” Rex replied nervously as his hand was gripped tightly.“Wow, what a coincidence! I’m also a student in that department and will be going there with my friend. Unfortunately, she texted me that she had gone there with someone else.”“You have to make a promise first so your friend doesn’t misunderstand.”The girl pouted and then asked, “Would you like to go there with me? After all, we have the same destination.”Rex blinked a few times, trying to guess if he had an ear problem. He was very surprised, as this was the first time someone had offered to go with him. It seemed that the girl had a good personality and did not judge people by their appearance.“Alright, let’s go together,” Rex said after some thought.The answer made the girl smile happily and pulled Rex to walk beside her. They went to class holding hands. Neither of them tried to release the grip. Rex was too embarrassed to ask because she seemed comfortable holding his hand.“By the way, what’s your name? You haven’t introduced yourself yet,” Rex told hesitantly, afraid he might offend the girl.However, his fear did not happen because the girl still showed a friendly expression. “I forgot to introduce myself because I was too excited. My name is Chelsea Fox and I’m from Asteria City.”“Asteria City? Oh, my god! I’m from there too.”“That’s quite a coincidence. Are you really from there?”Rex nodded enthusiastically. He no longer felt nervous because he was relaxed with this topic of conversation. “I lived in Asteria City for three years and finished my high school education there,” he explained.“I went to an all-girls school and rarely saw boys. But now I have to adapt because there are a lot of boys at this university. I moved here because of my parents’ job. How about you?”“The university gave me a scholarship, and I accepted it because it’s a rare opportunity. You must know that Struthia University is the best in our country.”Chelsea glanced briefly at Rex, who explained while smiling happily. Then she smiled and exclaimed, “You’re awesome, Rex! To get into this university, I had to study hard. You must study harder than me so you can get a scholarship.”“Thank you very much. I don’t as great as you can imagine,” said Rex, almost exploding with happiness.“What kind of nonsense is that? It’s obvious that you are a genius!”“You’re exaggerating too much, haha.”Rex and Chelsea continued to talk until they arrived at class. Since that day, they have become close friends. Then, as Rex once thought, Chelsea indeed became the center of attention in their department. The girl’s good influence made people not dare to bully him.This comforting college life would not have continued without Chelsea’s help. Therefore, Rex planned to take the girl to hang out. He also secretly liked Chelsea and wanted to confess his feelings today.After class finished, Rex approached Chelsea, who greeted him with a sweet smile. He suddenly felt nervous and wanted to cancel his plans. However, he ventured because he did not want other men to get ahead of him.“D-do you want to go out with me?” asked Rex, unable to control his trembling voice.Chelsea directly nodded and grabbed Rex’s hand. “Finally, you asked me out! I wanted to ask you out a few days ago, but I was afraid to say it.”“Huh? Why do you want to ask me out?”“That’s because you were my first friend at university. I wanted to treat you in return.”The nervousness in Rex’s mind instantly vanished upon hearing those words. It turned out that Chelsea had the same desire, so he did not have to be nervous. “Then let’s go tonight. How about it?” he asked.“That’s a great idea! Let’s meet at the bus stop near the university tonight,” replied Chelsea, releasing her grip from Rex’s hand and then leaving with a sweet smile.That night, Rex came to the bus stop first because he did not want to make Chelsea wait. How shocked he was when he saw a red luxury car stop in front of him and Chelsea got out of the car.“Why are you so surprised? I purposely choose this car to pick you up,” Chelsea spoke as she forced Rex into the car.After they both entered the car, Chelsea showed Rex her cellphone screen. “I told the driver to come to this restaurant. What do you think?”Rex lost words because the restaurant Chelsea had chosen would cost him a lot of money. The price of the food there was more expensive than the clothes he was wearing right now. He never expected Chelsea would take him to that restaurant.“Why are you silent? It seems you don’t like my choice.” Chelsea looked sad when she said it.“That’s not true. I don’t have enough money to go to that restaurant,” said Rex, looking both nervous and embarrassed.All this time, Chelsea had never shown that she came from a wealthy family. She always wore normal clothes to college and her stuff was not from a famous brand. However, tonight the girl came in a luxury car and chose an expensive restaurant.This fact surprised Rex. He thought Chelsea came from an ordinary family. If he knew the girl was rich, then he would raise money first before asking her out.“Why are you talking about money?” Chelsea spoke again while stroking Rex’s hand. “The bill is on me.” At first, Rex wanted to refuse Chelsea because he felt uncomfortable if the girl paid for his food. However, he could not refuse after being persuaded several times by Chelsea. In the end, they had dinner at the restaurant.“I’ve booked a hotel. Would you like to go there with me?”Rex choked when he heard the question. They had just come out of the restaurant and Chelsea was asking a strange question. He hesitantly replied, “I-I don’t know. Can we go there?”“My dad had some business at the hotel and asked me to come over. You just need to wait a moment,” Chelsea explained with a smile.The girl was sure that Rex would not be able to refuse if she smiled sweetly. Her assumption was not wrong, because Rex was willing to go to the hotel with her. When they got there, she did something they had never talked about before.“I want you to know that I already like you,” Chelsea said as she forced Rex to sit on the edge of the bed. Then her hand traced the young man’s body. “Rex, can you undress for me?”Chelsea’s sensual voice created embarrassment and nervousness in Rex’s mind. He never thought something like this would happen to him. Although he was a little hesitant, in the end, he slowly took off his clothes.When Rex was about to take off his pants, suddenly the room door opened, and several people entered. The world fell apart at that moment when he found out the people were his bullies at high school.Rex looked at Chelsea for an explanation. However, the girl instead gave him a disdainful look and laughed loudly. Instantly he knew that Chelsea was teaming up with the bullies to humiliate him!Rex was too shocked that he could not respond calmly to the surrounding people. He knew bullies were live streaming him. Even if he knew about it, he could do nothing but cover his body.With trembling hands, Rex picked up his shirt from the floor. Unfortunately, one of the bullies stepped on his hand and restricted his movement. He then looked up to find out that Julio was laughing at his stupidity.“You dirty pig! Do you think my beautiful girlfriend would want to be your friend?” Julio spoke as he put his arm around Chelsea, who was kissing his neck.Their actions explained everything. It turned out that they had been planning to humiliate Rex for a long time. This fact made him laugh sadly and infuriated the bullies.One of them grabbed Rex’s hair and asked the other to shoot a video. “I think this prank has blown his brain, haha! Did you guys hear his laugh earlier?” he spoke to the viewers.Rex, who was fed up, tried to free himself, but he got a slap instead. With teeth chatter
“Would you like to leave now, Young Master?”The bullies presently snapped out of their shock when they heard Morris’s voice. Even though they were shocked to death, this was not the time to sit around and do nothing. At least they had to persuade Rex to keep their family company safe.Alexis, one of the bullies, kneeled and placed his hands on Rex’s feet. With a trembling voice, he said, “The reason I bullied you all this time is that Julio forced me.”One person had betrayed Julio, and it made him clench his fists in hatred. “What are you talking about, Alexis? Aren’t you also enjoying when we bullied Julio?” he asked scornfully.“I wouldn’t have done it if I wasn’t forced by you!” Alexis denied those words while gripping Julio’s shirt collar. “You are the real culprit! You forced us to bully Rex and always threaten others using your father’s name.”Chelsea, who had been silent for a while, suddenly got an idea because she heard Alexis’ words. After all, his words sounded reasonable
Rex wanted to continue a normal life, but things would change after tonight’s incident. He believed when he got to the college tomorrow morning, Julio and his gang would keep apologizing. Arrogant people like them could not stand living in poverty.Still, Rex had no regrets about revealing his identity to them. His father’s words were indeed true. Normal life did not always bring him peace. Sometimes people could become arrogant just because they have little wealth.“Young Master, we have arrived.”Morris’s words snapped Rex out of his daydream. He stopped thinking about the bullies and quickly got out of the car. As soon as he set foot on the ground, everyone present immediately bowed to him.“Welcome back, Young Master!” they shouted in unison.Rex simply nodded and motioned for them to stand back up. Then he went into the big house in front of him. It was the house where he spent his childhood in luxury.There were always people who would help him. They would even pick up his falle
The next morning, Rex went to the college without Morris escorted or accompanied by bodyguards. He had told them not to approach him until he was given orders. Last night, he had decided to keep his identity a secret.Today, Rex would approach Julio and the bullies to ask them not to reveal his identity. Just as he passed the campus gates, Julio immediately came up to him with the bullies.“We admit that we were wrong about what we did yesterday. Therefore, please give us your generosity and forgive us!” shouted Julio, throwing away his pride so he could bow to Rex.The other bullies also bowed and apologized. Their actions caught the attention of those who passed through the gate. Of course, they knew who Julio was. Since the beginning of his appearance, the man had been arrogant and bullied weak students.Julio seemed reluctant to bow down to anyone, but now he bowed to Rex. People wonder about what happened. Yesterday, Julio and his friends still managed to be arrogant. However, to
After finishing all his classes, Rex rushed to oversee one of the supermarkets in Struthia City. He could not ask for help from anyone because Carlton forbade the bodyguards to help him. His father wanted to make him solve this problem alone.Still, it was not a big deal for Rex. After all, during these five years, he had not only spent his time studying but also training his physique. Every night after studying, he would practice at home alone. That was why today he was very enthusiastic about being able to fight people head-on.“Let’s see who will be my opponent,” Rex mumbled while wearing a mask, because he did not want to be identified. Then he walked to the supermarket.It turned out that his father was right. The thugs had ruined their supermarket’s image. When Rex got there, there was not a single car parked in front of the supermarket. He also heard from his father that the thugs were not afraid of the police.Many thugs had been reported by society. However, Ramon Ward did no
The two thugs gulped nervously, and in fear as they awaited Rex’s response. They had a strange sense that something horrible would follow this. After five minutes, Rex could still sit on Ken’s body.“Are you certain that you hurled the chair at him?” Adrian questioned as he nudged Jerome, his friend. Jerome quickly nodded, his hands shaking. “I threw the chair as hard as I could. Why he didn’t fall is beyond me. That means...!”Rex abruptly got up and started running toward Jerome, preventing him from finishing his sentence. Rex moved swiftly, leaving Jerome no time to evade. A split second later, Jerome felt a terrible agony in his gut.“Ugh, what just happened?” Jerome mumbled before spitting out blood.He must have received a blow to his stomach because blood was evident. Jerome, though, was baffled as to how Rex could assault him. The man attacked too quickly. Rex’s figure vanished from Jerome’s view after a quick blink.“I don’t like anyone getting in my way,” Rex said coldly, l
Rex stopped slapping Adrian after the thug passed out. He casually took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped the blood from his hand. It was the blood of the thugs he defeated.In these five years, Rex never fought like this. He could not get into trouble with the bullies at his school to keep his family out of it. His family would take an action if they knew he reported Julio’s actions to the school or police.That was the reason Rex had no interest in fighting the bullies. After all, their blows had no significant impact on his body. He had learned self-defense since childhood, and their blows were nothing to him. He even felt Julio’s attacks were as soft as cotton.“Why should I remember them? That sucks,” Rex mumbled, then threw away his handkerchief.He chose to leave because he had nothing else to do. The crowd rushed away while holding their breath from Rex as he approached the sidewalk. They were terrified when the young man walked past them.Someone muttered whi
Rex knew people were paying attention to his appearance, but he chose to ignore them. He was too lazy to change clothes because the distance between his house and the supermarket was too far.Besides, he also did not want to buy new clothes or send someone to the store to buy jewelry. He wanted to do everything on his own.“Excuse me.” A woman approached Rex with a friendly smile. She appeared to be the sales promotion girl in this jewelry store. “Is there anything I can do for you, Sir?”Glory Jewelry Store was a well-known jewelry store in the county of Histrio. Accordingly, it was not surprising that all the employees in the store were quite professional. Even though Rex’s look appeared odd, they sent someone to serve him.However, Rex noticed that the sales promotion girl who greeted him was a new employee. Senior employees preferred to serve other customers rather than him. It was only natural because they believed they would not receive any commission if they served Rex.“I’d li
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
