Hello, readers! I will double-update every day starting tomorrow. I apologize for only updating one chapter a day. I lost my story data (like characters, plot, etc.). It took me some time to collect that data again in my busy schedule. But that's done now, so I can focus on writing!
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
Thord made an emergency notice to the bodyguard in charge of security at the presidential palace, so that he could enter immediately after passing the inspection. Since the president was on his break, Thord was able to go straight to him. He swallowed nervously as he had never made an emergency notification before. "Welcome, Mr. Thord Moreno," Emyr Fletcher, the president, spoke as soon as Thord entered the room. He invited Thord to sit in front of him. Thord looked fearfully into Emyr's eyes. He was worried the president would be angry that he could not protect the division. "Mr. President, please forgive me for interrupting your precious time!'"I have already confirmed our meeting. That means I don't mind your sudden presence. So, what brings you here?" "First of all, I'd like to apologize for my incompetence as division chief. I let my guard down and allowed the intruders to poison my people." Emyr stopped enjoying the tea. He placed the teacup on the table and gave Thord a s
Dante turned around when he heard footsteps. Iordan's presence made him believe that he would torment him once more. However, Iordan made a surprising statement. "You can come out now." Hearing that, Dante blinked in disbelief. "Does Master Nolan already trust me?" "No, he doesn't," Iordan answered quickly. "Master Nolan plans to attack the Quillon family now. You must participate in this attack to prove your loyalty." Dante was surprised by Nolan's decision to attack the Quillon family. As far as he knew, Nolan planned to make a major attack in two or three weeks. "Why should we attack the Quillon family now? Has Master Nolan fully recovered?" Dante asked, wearing a confused expression. Iordan gave him a glance before walking out of the cave, saying, "Don't ask any questions. Your status is still suspicious. You must prove you are not a traitor by joining the fight."Dante closed his mouth and walked behind Iordan. He had no better choice for now. He would follow Nolan's plan w
