There was no news about Erick’s brother and that made Rex could not recognize him. Nonetheless, he immediately corrected his mistake by apologizing to the old man.“Please forgive me, sir. I didn’t know you were Mr. Erick’s brother. Also, I can’t believe someone I just met. That’s why I don’t follow you,” Rex explained as he bowed.The old man made Rex stand up again, just as he had done before. “I can understand that. You need to be aware of your surroundings. That way, you will not get into trouble.”Rex glanced at Morris for a moment. When his uncle gave a nod, he agreed to follow the old man. They walked towards the garden in the hospital.When they got there, Rex realized the old man was taking him to meet someone else. Another old man appeared to be waiting for his arrival. In an instant, he knew the person waiting for him was Erick.“This is the first time I have seen you after you grew up,” Erick said as he walked over to Rex. “I first met you when you were a baby, haha.”Of c
Rex spent two hours in the hospital trying to get close to Cindy. At first, the little girl was afraid of him because of the trauma of being kidnapped by a man. However, she slowly believed Rex because Erick explained everything to her. At that time, Erick also talked to Molly about his intention to provide some bodyguards to the Quillon family. It made the woman drive the car with a gloomy face.“Why didn’t he give my young master a chance to train with him? He should have done that because the young master saved his granddaughter!”Molly kept raving about what Erick had to do. However, Rex gave no response because he really did not expect anything from Erick. He was satisfied just by seeing Cindy smile again.After all, there were still his family’s cultivation methods that he had not tried. Rex preferred to master all of the methods before getting new knowledge from others. “Auntie, I want to buy a drink,” Rex said when he saw a supermarket.His words made Molly stop the car and
Ken was playing cricket when he got a call from Edmon, a member of his gang. All the members had been instructed not to get in contact with him if there was nothing urgent. However, Edmon, who had only joined the gang a week ago, dared to contact him.“What’s wrong?” Adrian, who was playing with Ken, frowned in confusion when he noticed his leader focused on the cell phone.“Edmon called me,” said Ken, answering the call. “I think he has something important to tell me.”When the call was connected, Ken and Adrian could hear rough gasps. They heard footsteps as well, and that was when they understood Edmon was running.“B-boss!”Ken become more interested in the reason Edmon called him. “Yes, I’m here. What’s going on?”“We were attacked by the enemy! Thomas and Garre were defeated by him.”“What? They were defeated by one person?”Edmon, on the other hand, nodded and kept running. He cast a quick peek back and exhaled a sigh of satisfaction that the masked man was not chasing him. Fee
Adrian’s body was drenched in a nervous sweat as the silence continued. He then cast a glance at Ken, who was attempting to stand. His leader appeared to be trying to talk to Rex again.“I’m not sure about what happened. My gang member called to tell me that they had been attacked by the enemy. I would not have attacked you if I had known it was you,” Ken spoke while trying to keep the pain in his stomach.Then he motioned to Edmon to apologize. He had been wanting to smack Edmon for making things worse since then.Edmon’s family was not the richest in Struthia. Nonetheless, he still considered his position different from others because his family had a lot of money. His arrogance made him unwilling to apologize to Rex.Even though he was terrified, he refused to show it. “I’m innocent! This man appeared out of nowhere and attacked my friends. He should be the one making the apology!”Rex sighed as he realized he had to face someone like Edmon. He cast a glance at Dionne and said, “I
In the car, Rex took a tissue to wipe his shoes, which were stained with Edmon’s blood. Others might have thought he was overreacting for helping a stranger girl. However, he did not feel his actions were in vain because he was happy the girl was okay.“Do you know the thugs? I see you talked to them,” Molly asked as she drove the car.“They are the thugs who bother customers at the Quillon family supermarket. I have ordered the leader to abandon his useless gang.”“Do you not want to take advantage of them?”Rex took a moment to consider an answer to the question. He had always disliked gangs since they were often bothering innocent girls or other people. That was the reason he beat up the thugs when he was still living in Asteria city. “To be honest, I don’t want to get involved with criminals. But I did think about using them to get information,” Rex replied after a brief silence.“Thugs can be useful at times. You should be aware the Quillon family is followed by thugs. They were
Rex took a shower before meeting his parents in the living room. They looked happy when they saw him coming. They seemed excited to hear about his successful cultivation.“Sit here,” Alyssa said, patting the chair next to her. “I have heard about you from Molly. You are incredible! I’m glad you can learn quickly.”“Dad is also impressed with your achievements. I’m sorry to think you couldn’t get past the first stage in a short time.”Carlton’s words made Rex smile proudly. Of course, he had to feel that way because everyone was praising his achievements. “Thank you very much. To be honest, I was surprised that I had never heard of cultivation from anyone.”“We didn’t tell you for fear of disturbing you, son. You must remember it was you who decided to leave the house yourself,” Carlton shot back his son’s sarcasm.Rex immediately chuckled, which made his parents laugh as well. Even though their son behaved this way, they knew Rex was not mad at them.“I’m done playing around. Now my g
“What are you doing?”The voice startled Vera. She was the one who eavesdropped on the conversation between Rex and his parents. She had been playing the role of Alyssa’s maid the entire time, and no one knew she was a spy.Vera took a long breath before turning to Molly, who had raised the question before. “I was waiting for Mrs. Alyssa,” she replied with a sweet smile.“I understand. However, you should not stand outside the door. You can hear their conversation, which is violative of their privacy. Please give our young master some freedom,” Molly said while crossing her arms over her chest.“Thanks for reminding me. I didn’t mean to intrude on their privacy.”“If you understand, then you should get out of here.”Molly’s cheeky face sparked anger in Vera’s mind. However, she could control her emotions because she had been trained not to show her true feelings to others.Therefore, Vera nodded while still smiling, and left the living room. Her destination was the bathroom, which was
Molly was satisfied with the answer given by Rex. As the next heir of the Quillon family, the young man had to be assertive. Thus, people would respect him and not dare to do evil things behind his back.For now, Rex had not officially appeared to the public. However, the public would be afraid of the young master’s future appearance. The Quillon family would make sure he became strong before facing the people.“Thanks for the information, auntie. I will not talk about what I want to do when Vera is around me. Instead, I will trick her by telling lies,” said Rex, who looked serious to encounter the spy.His brown hazel eyes released a dark gaze filled with hatred. He would teach Vera a well-deserved lesson for daring to trouble those closest to him.“I agree with you,” Molly gave a big smile as she gave a thumb up to Rex. “Then I will tell your parents about your plan.”“So, are we going to practice today?”“No! You must rest. There is a room in this room. You may use it to rest.”Rex
