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
Harald slapped Jaylen’s face without hesitation. He had told him he could not help, but his friend was being insolent instead. Jaylen, who had been slapped, could only stand there in stunned silence. “I’m not your slave that you can order around,” Harald said, his voice chill and cynical. He grabbed Jaylen’s shirt and continued, “You should end what you started. Don’t bring innocent people into your problem. Understand?”Jaylen had no choice but to nod. It was frustrating because he could do nothing if Harald was already angry with him. “Mayor, you’d better apologize to the Quillon family before it’s too late, or else you will lose everything,” Norbert advised as he felt concerned about Jaylen. Unfortunately, Jaylen was too arrogant to bow down to others. He did not want to apologize to the Quillon family. There must be other ways he could do to secure his life. His daughter’s words came to mind when he thought about it. He should join the secret community. It was a risky move, bu
“Please forgive me!” The bodyguards gasped in shock as Jaylen apologized while bowing. They never expected a mayor to bow to them. Rex was the only person who could make a mayor act like that. Jaylen straightened up quickly. He could not stand the humiliation any longer. “I’ve already apologized to them, Young Master. Are you satisfied?” “I’m not sure if your apology is sincere. You didn’t even explain why you apologized to the bodyguards,” Rex said, crossing his arms over his chest. “But I’m sure the bodyguards understood my apology.” “Really?” Rex raised one eyebrow, then glanced at one bodyguard and asked, “Max, do you know why the Mayor apologized to you?”Max, the bodyguard, wanted to avoid prolonging the problem with Jaylen. It was a miracle that the mayor was willing to apologize to him. However, he understood that Rex did not want this problem to end so quickly. “I think the mayor should promise not to do it again. What will others think about Floria if the mayor behaves
