Dionne looked at Rex with wide eyes. She had not expected the man to oppose Fergal. He probably acted this way since he did not know her real identity.If that was the case, Dionne had no choice but to intervene. She did not want the innocent Rex to get in trouble with her family. Fergal would not stay still when someone challenged him.“Stop that,” Dionne said in a low voice so as not to disturb anyone else in the library. Nonetheless, the appearance of her bodyguard piqued their interest.She stood up from her chair and took Rex’s hand, signaling him to stop disturbing Fergal. “I apologize for causing you any trouble. Thank you for being by my side. But I don’t want to get you in trouble.”Rex locked his gaze on Dionne before releasing Fergal’s hand. “I genuinely thought of helping you since you have been kind to me,” he added, staring at the bodyguards one by one.They were five people. Rex was confident he could beat them if they forced Dionne to go. He would not let her leave the
Fergal had sensed several people following the car earlier. Those people moved stealthily at a speed that normal humans could not follow. Dionne would not notice because she was not an expert in cultivation.This was not the first time Dionne had people following her. Fergal was sure they were targeting the daughter of the Lace family. He and his team had never caused any trouble, so those mysterious people could not have come to attack them.“Let me deal with them,” Fergal remarked as he got out of the car. He motioned with his palm for the other bodyguards not to move. “You must stay here. If they beat me, leave without me.”The bodyguards nodded and protected Dionne around the car. Their hearts were racing because Fergal only said that when they were in a dangerous situation. That meant he had to face some difficult opponents.Fergal took his time walking toward the sidewalk. He stopped the car on a deserted street to battle those mysterious people. Even though he was already prepa
Rex directed the bodyguards to track down Dionne. He also asked Irvin, one of his bodyguards, to deal with the attackers.Even though he had faith in his bodyguard’s ability, he needed to go monitor the situation. Rex and Irvin left the library to find Dionne.“Simon told me that Miss Dionne didn’t take the main road to the Lace family mansion,” Irvin said as he drove, referring to Simon, a bodyguard who had gone to find Dionne.Rex stroked his chin as he pondered something. “I think Dionne’s bodyguards led her to a deserted street. Cultivators, right? They avoid crowds. Let’s find a deserted street around the main road you spoke of. Request the others to search too.”“Yes, Young Master.”The car sped into a deserted street where no one had walked a week ago. The street led people to the bridge that linked Struthia to neighboring cities. However, a storm damaged the bridge, so the police blocked the public from crossing that street.The warning cross that closed the access road looked
Julio slammed his cell phone as soon as he got a reply from Chelsea. He had tried to persuade the girl to join his plan. On the other hand, Chelsea responded that she did not want to deal with a stupid man like him.Julio became enraged that he destroyed everything in his room. “This girl...! Do I have to finish her, too?”“Man, calm down! Having a bad temper will not solve the problem,” Sebastian sighed when he saw the mess his friend was making. He also felt dizzy and irritated, just like Julio. They planned to kill Rex, but it was their loss. The rich dumped them after getting information about Rex.Some of the rich people even demanded compensation from them. Sebastian was forced to stay at Julio’s house because his family had kicked him out after learning about his conflict with the rich.“It’s time to stop,” said Sebastian with a serious expression. “Your father is forgiving. I’m different because my family abandoned me. I can’t go back if I cause any more problems.”Julio grad
“P-please forgive me!” Sebastian cried, crawling to hold Rex’s leg. “I’m crazy for wanting to kill you. My family kicked me out because they found out I was in trouble with your family. Now I have no intention of killing you! I swear!”It was an unlucky day for Sebastian because Rex ignored him and kicked him instead.“If I were just an ordinary person, would you beg my forgiveness?” Rex asked as he approached Sebastian, who was crawling away from him.He knew Sebastian was apologizing not because he felt bad for him but because he feared the Quillon family.“Y-you misunderstood! I’m indeed afraid of your family, but I also feel guilty for being mean to you,” Sebastian tried to defend himself.Unfortunately, it was useless.Rex caught Sebastian’s leg and crushed his bones into pieces. “If you really apologize to me, maybe I can give you a little mercy.”“Argh, my leg!”Sebastian’s scream echoed through the street so that Morris could hear it. He ignored that and focused on moving the
Rex laughed while looking at the cell phone in his hand. He had indeed destroyed the business belonging to Sebastian’s family. However, he did not do this just to exact revenge on Sebastian.He found that the entertainment business run by Sebastian’s family was immoral. They took advantage of their talents by offering them terrible contracts. Some actresses even reported being abused.Unfortunately, they could not win because Sebastian’s family had more money. The corporation also paid the media not to publicize the abuse case.Sebastian’s family had to pay a big sum of money as compensation for their talents. As a result, they were forced to sell their assets to the wealthy, including the Quillon family.“You have done the right thing, Young Master,” said Morris with a happy smile. He could not wait to see Sebastian die at Rex’s hands. “What are your plans for him? I can accompany you after sending the corpse to the secret house.”Rex paused for a moment before responding. The Quillo
Sebastian did not show up to campus the next day. However, no one was looking for him because they already knew what had happened to his family. Julio did not even care when Sebastian’s parents came to ask for help.He asked his father not to help them. Moreover, he heard rumors about the Quillon family caused their entertainment business to go bankrupt. He had to end his relationship with Sebastian to get away from the Quillons.The Quillon family would destroy the people they had targeted. Julio had also heard that Archer had been impolite to Morris. It resulted in the fall of the Liourdis family law firm.All hospitals also stopped accepting employees from the Liourdis family since the counterfeit medicine case. Archer gradually dropped out of university because he could not afford it.Almost everyone on campus was talking about Archer and Sebastian. Most of them were satisfied that the Quillon family had destroyed the dirty business of Histrio. However, some people still thought t
Luke walked while thinking about the main leader. He knew some things about Dante, who had full control over The Devastating Blow. No one dared to address the main leader by his real name.All organization members addressed Dante using ‘chief’, ‘leader’, or ‘sir’. It showed how strong Dante’s influence was in the organization. Luke avoided mentioning his main leader’s real name out of respect for Dante.It was ironic because his respect had changed after hearing the truth from Molly. He could no longer address Dante with respect. However, he had to hide his hatred because he would die if Dante discovered his big secret.“We have arrived,” Dante announced as he approached a room.Luke smiled and rushed to open the door. “I have little knowledge of this place. Please accept my apologies for making you lead the way.”“You don’t need to say that. I understand because you don’t come here often.”“Thank you very much, sir. You may enter first.”Luke stared at Dante’s back and walked behind
