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
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
