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
Now, it was Infinity's turn to enter the pavilion. Those who arrived were the leaders of the organizations that formed Infinity, such as Ernest from the Devastating Blow and Brock from the Lightning Struck. When they all took their seats, Rex immediately spoke. "First of all, I want to apologize. I realize that many infinity members don't like me because I suddenly became the commander." All the leaders looked at Rex with surprise. No one expected him to apologize. They thought he would only discuss things related to Coup de Grace. Looks like something happened that forced Rex to apologize, they thought. They did not say anything as a sign for him to continue. "I will treat you better since you are willing to help me," Rex showed an awkward smile. "Actually, my side is in trouble. We don't have enough people to fight. That's why I hope you won't betray me." "Sure. It won't do us any good to betray you," Ernest answered quickly. His voice sounded emotional. Apparently, Dante's betr
All Infinity members would receive training from Bertel every day, as instructed by Rex. Today, Corwin was walking towards the training ground when he bumped into Luke. They stared at each other briefly before Luke broke it off and continued walking.Corwin was confused when he saw that Luke had not come to the training ground like the others. Out of curiosity, he ventured to grab Luke's hand. "Hey, I have been curious all this time," Corwin said, giving Luke a sharp glance. "Why are you suddenly avoiding me? And where are you going?"Luke pushed Corwin's hand away immediately. "None of your business. Don't talk to me." "You're suspicious. I will report your behavior to Mr. Bertel." "Like I would care." Corwin could do nothing as Luke went away. He was upset that the boss he had trusted for years was ignoring him.Meanwhile, Luke walked away, thinking of Corwin. Rex had told him the truth about Dante, so he should no longer stay away from Corwin. However, Luke still avoided Corwi
Rex watched the forest from afar, along with the others. In an instant, a portion of the forest was destroyed. The trees and plants suddenly withered from the dark energy attack.If Luke used the forbidden technique on humans, the effects would be horrifying. Dark energy could easily destroy anything. That's why most forbidden techniques involve the use of dark energy. The price to pay for using the forbidden technique was enormous. Cultivators had to sacrifice blood, humans, and even their own life. The Unbridled Eternal Darkness Technique could have sacrificed others to obtain dark energy. However, Erick avoided this by using an artifact. "I think it's been a while since we left him," Morris said, staring deep into the forest. "I don't hear any sounds anymore. It looks like Luke has been affected by the technique."Erick glanced at Rex, and without saying anything, they ran into the forest to look for Luke. They split up so they could find him faster. Molly, Morris, and Edmund k
Struthia City, at the cultivation martial arts association headquarters. The association members enjoyed their break time by chatting. Darryl, the leader, also joined them. The association did not look at level or caste. Newbie members did not have to worry about anything. They could mingle with anyone without any awkwardness. With this kind of system, all association members know each other well. For them, the association was a second home. Therefore, they could talk about anything comfortably because they considered each other family. "I heard the Quillon family had a meeting with the affiliates," Dieter Wren said, making everyone stare at him in shock. Even though they could chat freely, they always avoided the topic of the Quillon family. The reason was obvious. The Quillon family and the association were not in a good mood. Moreover, Darryl had once thrown a temper at the headquarters after Han from the Q clan invited him to a duel to make negotiations. Darryl's face would
A few hours ago. The Secret Special Division held a meeting after all the members had eaten. They actually did not need food since they had mastered cultivation. However, Thord Moreno was very fond of food. He always invited the division members to enjoy a meal before starting the meeting. "We will start this meeting with Quillon family topic," Thord spoke as he read through the report document. "The Silverstar Clan was reported to have joined the Quillon family without notice." Evald, the division secretary, was about to respond to Thord's words when a pain attacked his head. He blinked several times as his vision deteriorated. He could not see anyone or anything clearly. Everything was blurry and shaky, so he had no idea what was before him. "Sir Evald, are you alright?" Noren, sitting next to Evald, asked worriedly as Evald looked in pain. "I'm sorry, everyone." Evald grabbed his hair, hoping it would ease his headache. "I can't take the pain in my head anymore. Can I be abs
