River High School in Asteria City.Delinquent students were spotted congregating in the gym. They were counting the money they had received from other students. Their faces were lit up with joy.They got a lot of money. Before joining The Devastating Blow, their gang had bullied people and stolen their money.However, they stopped taking money from others because the teachers figured it out. They were willing to risk it again because the organization had promised to assist them if they got into trouble.“I will use this money to buy my dream shoes,” Ruben said, looking down at the money in his hand.The others were considering what to buy as well. But not with Calvin. The gang leader looked serious as he stared at his cell phone screen.However, no one was curious about it. Calvin was a game addict. He was always engrossed in his game. As a result, they assumed their leader was focused on playing a game.“There is bad news,” Calvin suddenly spoke, surprising everyone. “A psychopath is
Rex could not run or jump because there was no space. He would have been hit by the dumbbell toss. The delinquents expected him to fall, but instead, he caught the heavy barbell.How could he do that? Everyone was stunned for a few moments before charging Rex again. They had to defeat the masked man while he was in their range.Nonetheless, Rex used the dumbbell to attack the surrounding people. Those who attempted to counterattack were pushed back by his strength and fell to the ground. Several of them were seriously injured when he repeatedly swung the dumbbell over their head.“I will kill you!” One of them yelled while drawing a dagger. He stood in front of Rex with both hands raised, ready to attack. Because he attacked suddenly, he did not have time to aim properly.On the other hand, Rex still had the stamina to dodge the dagger. His body was moving faster than the delinquent hands could, and he took advantage of the situation by slamming the dumbbell down his opponent’s throat
All the gangs in Asteria had been defeated, which worried the other gangs. They had no idea what kind of man could defeat those gangs alone. When they heard the news from Luke, their fears vanished.The Devastating Blow had announced the termination of their contract. That meant the man would no longer attack the gangs. His motivation for destroying the gangs was that they stole money from the students.Because of that, the gang believed the man would not attack them if they showed him the contract termination. “Are we really safe now?” Niko, a Blue Moon High School student, was still worried about the masked man.Werner, the gang’s leader, did not appear concerned about anything. “That lunatic has not sent anything to the group in over twenty minutes. I think he has stopped his madness.”“I hope so. I’m afraid we will become the next target since our city is close to Asteria.”“Don’t worry,” Werner said as he looked over at his gang members playing billiards. “We have left school. H
Molly was on social media while waiting for Rex near Moonlight High School. She joined several groups to track what was happening in Histrio. The high school gangs were the most discussed topic in the last hour.A mysterious man was said to have attacked gangs in Asteria and its surroundings. Pros and cons of his actions appeared. However, more people supported the man’s actions because the gangs had bullied others.“Young master is trending again on the internet,” Molly laughed briefly, recalling something similar.The video of Rex beating up thugs in the supermarket went viral on the internet before the Quillon family deleted it. However, Molly was sure Carlton would not take any action regarding the gang’s disciplinary incident.There was no footage of Rex and his gang fighting. People would have no idea what the masked man’s physique looked like this way. They would also forget about the incident over time.Molly put her cell phone away when she saw Rex waving at her. She immediat
Molly would give up if Rex had carried his position as the next heir to the Quillon family. She was well aware that her young master would continue to persuade her and Han to talk about Dante. As a result, she decided to share some information about The Devastating Blow’s main leader.“I’m not going to tell you everything because I respect Mr. Carlton. You can ask him for more information if you need it.”Rex looked pleased when he found out Molly was going to tell him about Dante. Even though it was only small information, he was still excited. “Dad will not be mad at me. Besides, I do have to know about Dante if I want to destroy his organization.”“Fine. I will start the story now. You can ask me whenever you feel confused,” Molly said, glancing at Han for a moment before continuing what she wanted to explain. “Before becoming an evil organization, The Devastating Blow was a good sect in the underworld.”“Do they look like Clan Q? I’m talking about having a training ground and disc
The bespectacled man appeared to visit Dante’s house frequently. The banquet hall was on the second floor, but he could get there without Dante’s assistance. That meant he was familiar with every room in the mansion.All the servants were wondering about the identity of that man. It was their first day working for Dante, so they were curious. They did not know Dante was a head of an evil organization.Dante, in their memories, was a successful businessman. They could think that because their employer claimed that Dante owned several businesses. After coming to the mansion, they believed Dante was indeed a businessman.The mansion was very spacious. Even though they had worked for the rich several times, they had never seen a mansion like that before. They assumed Dante was not an ordinary rich man.However, a rich man like Dante showed respect to the bespectacled man. It made the servants curious. How great was the bespectacled man that Dante had to respect him?On the other hand, Dan
The next day, Rex became the center of attention on campus because a beautiful girl walked with him. People were not attracted to him initially, but they found him interesting for being close to Dionne.Rex was also close to Chelsea, even though the girl stated she was just playing with his feelings. The men started to wonder how Rex could get the girls’ attention. Did he go to a shaman and ask for a talisman to get their attention?Meanwhile, the girls noticed something about Rex. They ignored the young man because he had a poor background. After watching Rex for some time, they discovered he was pretty handsome.They secretly talked about Rex while watching him walk with the strange girl.“I heard that Rex got a scholarship from the university. Isn’t that amazing? I think smart men have their charm.”“Well, we share brain cells on that one. It doesn’t matter if he’s poor. I have enough money to make him look classier.”“To be honest, I never cared for poor men. But you guys got me a
Rex was waiting for the professor when someone suddenly opened the classroom door. Everyone, including himself, turned to see who had come. The professor could not have arrived at class in that manner.When they realized it was Cesar, they were perplexed. Almost all students recognized him because he was the benefactor’s son. They needed to remember the important people on campus, so their lives did not become chaotic.The angry expression on Cesar’s face showed that he had come to do something terrible. Someone from the business major had apparently offended him. People believed that person could not study in peace on campus.Cesar would do anything to annoy the person he hated, such as ordering the other students to bully them too. Usually, the victims could not stand the bullying and decided to leave the university.Nothing good about Cesar. Everyone wanted to be his friend because they did not want to get in big trouble. They were surprised that someone would still dare to offend
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
