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
“W-why did you push me?”Bobby had come to his senses and was intrigued as to why Julio was being so rude to him. His friend had been rude at times, but Julio had no reason to push him to the floor today.Also, he remembered Julio agreeing to humiliate Rex, the waiter. It was very strange because Julio suddenly introduced Rex as his close friend. Bobby knew Julio would not make a friendship with a waiter.“Did you not hear what I was saying earlier?” Julio walked over to Bobby and stomped on his stomach. “I pushed you because you were touching my friend.”Bobby could not respond because his attention was drawn to the pain in his stomach. If Julio had stomped on him harder, he would be vomiting blood by now. He should be grateful, because Julio did not do that.Meanwhile, Sarah had lost something she was proud of. Bobby would not protect her anymore, because her lover was more worried about his friendship with Julio.When Julio recognized someone as a friend, Bobby considered that pers
Julio was determined to carry out his plan today because he had met Rex. He purposely spent his money on the necklace, hoping that Rex would pay back him by not destroying his family business.“I feel bad that you paid for this necklace,” Rex said as he walked out of the jewelry store.He did not refuse when Julio offered to pay for the expensive necklace. He wanted to see Julio act like a dog. Julio showed up to be a loyal dog, but when no one was around, he was ready to bite his master.Rex could read Julio’s mind. They had ‘known’ each other in high school for several years. He learned about Julio’s behavior during that time. Julio always planned devious attacks on people who had more power than him. “You don’t deserve to say that, Rex. The money I spent is nothing compared to what I did to you in the past. I wish I could go back in time and fix my mistakes,” Julio explained in a sad tone.Unfortunately, it would not work for Rex, who was already aware of Julio’s tricks. He was ce
The X Secret Club had existed since before Rex was born. He first heard about the club when he was young. His family founded the secret club so the rich could spend their day in private.However, no one realized that the secret club was owned by the Quillon family. Nothing happened while they gossiped about Carlton, the head of the Quillon family. That was why people at the club were always gossiping about other rich families.They felt safe because no one was allowed to bring cell phones or other electronic devices. Also, the club room lacked even a CCTV system. They dared to gossip because there was no evidence that they offended anyone.That was the magnet of the X Secret Club. Because they were satisfied, the rich were willing to pay high membership fees. They had opulent surroundings and were free to gossip about anyone without fear of being discovered. They did not know that the staff members were watching their every move.The staffers had no proof that Julio was looking for in
No one in this country knew the face of the Quillon family’s young master, except the bodyguards in that family. The young master, according to rumors, was very weak, and his family had to protect him.If any of the bodyguards leaked information about the young master, they and those who knew the information would die horribly. Information regarding the young master was very limited.Trevor could not even get that information with his power or money. However, a young man suddenly approached him and introduced himself as the young master’s friend. It sounded like something Julio said to get his attention.“I understand you want to make a connection with me, but you can’t lie to me. How can someone like you know the Quillon family’s young master? Don’t get yourself tied up in a bunch of trouble,” Trevor advised with a mocking smile.Julio could only be patient because using his fists would destroy any chance to get close to Trevor. “I’m not lying, Sir,” he clarified confidently. “A body
“You’re my dad. Of course, I will obey you. Have you made my training schedule?”Rex responded quickly and without hesitation. Even though he had not seen Carlton in five years, he was still devoted to his father. He believed his father would not put him in a dangerous situation.Meanwhile, Carlton was relieved that Rex had no doubts about his decision. He had anticipated his son to be a little rebellious because he had not been directly caring for him for several years. However, Rex was still the same as the little Rex who always obeyed him.“Your training schedule has been made by Molly. You can look at it first and discuss it with Molly if you don’t agree on something,” Carlton spoke as he signaled for Molly to show the training schedule.Molly walked over to Rex and showed him the training schedule on her tablet. “Morris told me about your class schedule. I’ve customized your practice schedule, so it doesn’t conflict with your college.”“Okay, I’ll check the schedule.”The trainin
Julio was ecstatic as he exited X Secret Club after persuading Trevor to join his plan. However, he did not know that Trevor was only using him to test the Quillon family’s security system.Trevor had no problem with money. He carefully transferred the money to Julio, using someone else’s account. He did so because he did not want his name to be dragged if their plan failed.“Do I need to pay attention to him?” Someone appeared right after Julio left the private room.Trevor shook his head at Glen, his bodyguard. “Leave him alone. The Quillon family has a great bodyguard besides Morris. She is Molly, the best former spy in the country. If you keep an eye on Julio, you might get caught by him. He already had problems with the Quillon family. I’m sure Molly is paying attention to him.”“Understood, sir. I’m going to hide again. Please enjoy your time.” Glen bowed to his master before returning to hiding in the darkness.On the other hand, Julio contacted Sebastian as soon as he arrived
