“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
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
