The Nightfall Shadow was a syndicate founded by the Q clan's ancestors. Almost all of its members were related to the Quillon family. Molly was raised by the Nightfall Shadow Syndicate before deciding to focus on cultivation at the Q clan pavilion. With her covert and cultivation skills, she could be by Arthur's side when she was very young. Rex was aware that the NSS did not have a fixed base to escape the enemies. All the members were quick to adapt so they could live anywhere.The NSS only worked for the Quillon family. Dante, like Molly, was also from the syndicate and befriended Arthur. He was loyal to the Quillon family and would do anything to spy on the enemies. "Did I come to the right place?" Rex muttered as he arrived at a swamp.Catharina, the syndicate's leader, informed Rex that she and some of her people were in the swamp to do something. They would stay in the swamp for a few days. Catharina also notified Rex that she might be difficult to contact because the swamp
Catharina was silent for a moment when she heard Rex's words. Then she laughed so hard that her shoulders shook. Rex only smiled at her. "I knew you'd figure it out quickly!" Catharina remarked, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes from too much laughter. She smiled as she stared at Rex. "So, how did you find out?" As the question was asked, Rex's mind flashed back to a few hours before he arrived in Solum City. He had sent communications concerning the Q Clan badge abuse issue to Elder Han, Morris, and Molly.Although he was skeptical of others, he trusted the three of them. As a result, he inquired if any badge holders had reported that their badges had been lost or stolen. However, there was no such report. Rex could only speculate without evidence since Alonzo had not completed his orders. And three hours later, Alonzo reached him with a report about the badge holders. Rex was perplexed as to how Alonzo could gather the information in such a short period. But he just foc
Hell Prison was located on an abandoned island. A nobleman once owned the island but gave it up because the soil in Solum City was unproductive. The nobleman's mansion had been converted into a prison. The building's antique structure created a tense and enigmatic atmosphere, with dark corridors and many neglected chambers. Because of its ideal location, the prison in Solum became Hell Prison. The mansion had been rebuilt to resist earthquakes and other large forces. The prisoners would never be able to escape because the prison was located on an island. The only way to escape was by crossing the beach. Nonetheless, They could not accomplish it because the guards would shoot or swim after them. There was no record of a prisoner escaping. The association assigned the best people to work as prison guards. "Look at that castle-like building," Catharina said when she arrived on the island, her hand pointing at a large building that gave people goosebumps because of its dark aura. Re
There were not many prisoners remaining to confront Rex. Vaughan counted inwardly and discovered that there were only eight prisoners left, including him. Meanwhile, all the prisoners Catharina had encountered had died. The ground underneath her became a puddle of blood. Her entire body was coated in blood, as if she had just gotten out of a blood bath. Vaughan and the other prisoners feared Catharina might join Rex in confronting them. If those two intruders joined forces, their lives would be cut short. "You can deal with the remaining prisoners alone, right?" Catharina asked while wiping the blood from her face. When she got a nod from Rex, she continued, "I'll leave them to you, then. I need to go to the prison to catch the targets!"Catharina's departure relieved the prisoners, but they felt shivers again as they realized Rex had just slain dozens of people in a short time. Even if Catharina left, they would still die at Rex's hands. "You guys can't satisfy me," Rex spoke, sh
Vaughan's smile faded as Rex vanished from his sight. Because the target suddenly fled somewhere, the bullet he fired missed. He glared fiercely at the cracked ground caused by his shot. The bullet should have hit Rex in the chest. "Where did that crazy man go?" Vaughan grumbled as he took in his surroundings. When he looked up, Rex kicked him in the face, and his vision went dark. He screamed in agony as blood gushed from his mouth.Rex wasted no time and moved quickly to take the gun from Vaughan's grasp. Since Vaughan would be down for a while, he changed his target. He spun around with rapid speed to shoot at Rogier, who was still stunned. His shot was exactly on target, as he had intended. "Y-Ywou b-bastward...!" Vaughan cursed in muddled words since his mouth was injured. Rex said nothing as he shot Vaughan in the head. His face remained expressionless. He went calmly towards the prison as if he was not the mastermind behind the murder of the prisoners on the beach. Meanw
After ending the meeting with the Q clan, Rex returned to his room. He had little time to spare because he was preparing to fight Coup de Grace. As soon as he walked into his room, he viewed the message sent by Calvin. "He's moving faster than I expected."In the message, Calvin informed Rex that several gangs had decided to become affiliates. He even gave all the gang members' information so Rex did not need Molly's help. Rex would greatly benefit from the affiliate's high school gangs tracking Nolan's men. His spies watching the Coup de Grace had two interesting reports.Coup de Grace dispatched two teams to find new members. Both teams have different goals, but they use the same modus operandi. They used the community to attract more members.The first team was looking for members, but the second team aimed for people to sacrifice for Nolan's demonic abilities. An example of the first team was Wade Rivolta, who seduced rich people to join because their money would be of great he
The Lace family had no choice but to surrender. Seren only could clench her fists. She did not expect Rex to threaten her back.That was the end of the argument between Lace and Rex's family. Despite the negative atmosphere, both families came to the civil marriage office to attend the wedding ceremony. As Rex and Dionne had agreed, their wedding ceremony was only attended by family. Besides Rex's parents, Molly and Morris were also present. Elder Han and Erick arrived just as the ceremony was about to end because they needed to attend to some business before. "Thank you for accepting me," Rex said while looking at the ring on Dionne's hand. It was the ring Arthur presented to Jocelyn when he proposed.Last night, Carlton came to Rex's room and gave him the ring. Carlton wanted Dionne to wear the ring so that Rex would remember his parents forever. Dionne looked down, her cheeks flushed. "I should be the one thanking you. I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't met y
A few days later, the affiliates' meeting was held in the large field owned by the Quillon family. All invited affiliates were present on time without exception. Today they were going to discuss strategies for countering the Coup de Grace. Important members settled into their seats around a magnificent round table, while the rest sat behind them. The meeting was opened by Carlton with a short speech. Then, it was followed by Rex, whose words surprised everyone. "Elder Han has told you all that I will attack the government to take over the association. There's debate about this, but I decided to keep at it."The important members glanced at each other. Some of them did not agree since attacking the government was very risky. However, they could not come up with any other solution to handle the association. "If you really insist, we have no choice but to agree," said Villem of the Silverstar clan. "But we hope you will consider not involving others." Rex nodded in understanding. "Th
