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
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
