“But why are you suddenly talking about Panthera village?” Rex did not respond to Lennart’s confusion right away. He had investigated Panthera village before Luziana attacked him. The village was one of the Coup de Grace’s bases for holding secret meetings. When he learned that Luziana’s daughter was being held in Panthera, he intended to assist her and look into Coup de Grace. But Molly was more worried than usual, so he considered sending Lennart to Panthera.“Actually, something happened on the day of my brand launch.” Rex decided to tell the truth. “A woman from Panthera attacked me. It seems the Coup de Grace wanted to start a war after being quiet all along.”Lennart looked surprised because he knew nothing about it. Non-stop training kept him out of the update on any news. “I apologize for not attending the launch event. Did the attacker hurt you?” Lennart asked, examining Rex’s appearance from head to toe.“I’m fine. The attacker didn’t hurt me at all. I understand why you
Vera snorted at Morris. She knew this day would come, the day she had to kill that legendary former mercenary. Morris was already known to be a strong man. However, neither Morris nor Molly was certain of Vera’s strength. “Are you going to fight a woman? What a loser,” Vera said as she took off her coat and approached Morris. A moment later, the woman took off at breakneck speed. Every floor she stepped on shattered instantly, creating a meter-deep hole. Vera arrived in front of Morris and kicked him before he could pull the gun trigger. “Huh? You can withstand my kick?” she grumbled in dissatisfaction. Morris blocked Vera’s kick with both hands. The kick forced him to be pushed back. “If I can’t withstand this kind of kick, then I won’t be able to protect the Quillon family,” Morris declared, staring at the scratches on the floor caused by his shoes as he was pushed back. The old man flexed his arms as he eyed Vera warily. The damage from his kick was enough to shatter someon
Molly growled when several people suddenly appeared and blocked her blows. That happened to Iordan as well. Several people from the association held him back when he wanted to attack. “What are you doing?” asked Molly, not hiding her angry tone. Zachary, the oldest one, smiled at Molly. “Please forgive us. We didn’t mean to bother you, but Coup de Grace is the responsibility of the association, not the Quillon family.”Hearing that, Molly burst out laughing. All the association members looked unhappy with her reaction. They were not joking, but she was laughing at them. “Are you new members of the association?” Molly asked while staring at the people in front of her. “I guess you don’t know that your seniors used to beg my family to help them defeat Nolan.”None of the association members could answer Molly’s words. They already knew about what happened in the past from their seniors. When the Coup de Grace created chaos in Histrio, the association went to Arthur and Erick for hel
The Q Clan arrived in time to deal with the association members. Elder Han was the clan representative who escorted them home. Also, he represented Rex to talk to the association’s leader. Han forbade Rex or anyone else to come to the association because he knew the leader was arrogant. The leader would not want to meet Rex, even though he was the heir to the Quillon family and was in control of the clan. The government protected the association leader, so he was not afraid of the Quillon family. He thought the Quillons could not do anything after Arthur and Jocelyn’s deaths. “Is Elder Han going to be okay?” Rex asked on the way home. “He forbade me to come with him because he didn’t want the associate leader to look down on me. But I don’t want anyone to look down on him either.”Morris answered calmly, “If the association looks down on Elder Han, then we will have no choice but to play rough. The leader thinks our family is weak because Sir Carlton is focused on the business worl
Norbert was the only person moving into the lobby. Everyone was still silent in shock. He walked over to Rex and took in his appearance. The young man wore a black mask, so Norbert could only see his eyes. He turned to scan the man’s white shirt and black pants. After becoming rich because of the income from his clinic, Norbert could tell the difference between expensive and cheap clothes. In an instant, he could tell if Rex’s clothes were not from a famous brand.However, clothes were not always the best way to identify a person’s identity. Norbert often met great people with simple personalities. They did not wear branded clothes despite their wealth. “Young man, you must be surprised at the commotion created by those bodyguards,” Norbert spoke politely, causing people to stare at him in wonder. Why would the great Norbert be polite to the mysterious young man? Norbert would not respect an unworthy person. As a result, everyone was wondering about Rex’s true identity. However,
Rex returned home without facing any problems on the way. However, he knew the trouble he had created at Norbert’s clinic would not go away. The mayor of Floria must be trying hard to find his identity right now.“Try to catch me if you can,” Rex muttered while storing the pills in a safe place. Before attacking the bodyguards, he had predicted what would happen next. He deliberately beat up the bodyguards to provoke Jaylen’s anger. Thus, he could discover who helped Jaylen.Rex had to find out the details because Lesa, Jaylen’s daughter, seemed to be joining the Coup de Grace. If Lesa invited her father, they would ask for help from that demonic sect. However, Rex had known from Molly that those who assisted Jaylen were association members. He could also use this to learn more about the association’s branch. The only thing the Quillon family could not disturb was the association. The government had asked the Quillon family not to make trouble with the association for the country’s
The men were stunned for a few moments before laughing at Dionne. They had the same thought as Calvin’s friends. That girl must have lost her mind. They were famous thugs in this area. Whether it was a man or a woman, they would beat up everyone indiscriminately. Meanwhile, Calvin tried to endure the pain in his stomach. He had to buy time so his friends and Dionne could escape. “Leave right now! I will handle these thugs!” Calvin shouted, wiping the blood from his lips. Calvin’s friends were hesitant to run away. They had been in the gang with Calvin for two years and had made many memories. Even though they were bad people, they could not be bad to their friends. “We can’t leave you alone,” Ruben finally said something. “I will fight with you!”Calvin sighed. Without turning to his friends, he asked, “Are you ready to die?” No one could answer the question, so Calvin spoke again. “Hurry up and leave now. I have to take responsibility because I brought you all here.”Calvin’s
The next day, Rex had just finished cultivating when he heard Elder Han had arrived at the mansion. He changed his clothes and went to the living room. Han had been waiting for Rex for an hour, but he would not complain about it. He smiled as Rex sat in front of him. “Young Master, I spoke with Sir Darryl last night.” Rex gestured for Han to continue. “Sir Darryl refused to meet with you. Nor would he accept any form of negotiation. If you want to join the association, the Q clan and the Quillon family must abide by the rules.”Han felt guilty for not being able to deliver a good result. Last night, Darryl kept refusing requests to meet Rex personally. He realized that the association leader feared Rex dominating as Arthur had done in the past. For this reason, Darryl avoided a fight with Rex. The association would be controlled by the Quillon family if he lost. The only best way to maintain his position was to refuse any negotiations. “Forgive me, Young Master,” Han spoke in a
