Chapter 17"Someone as poor as you? You think we sell huts here? Trust me when I say this but not even your great great grandfather can afford this place. In fact, he isn't worth being a janitor here.""Oh really? What if I say I can turn you into a janitor with a flip of my finger?" Rex retorts coldly, he feels like he should teach this Medici lineage some lessons to lessen their feelings of pride. It makes him wonder if being foolishly arrogant was part of the family's hidden talents. Meanwhile, Jeffrey was stunned by Rex's words. Observing a face that once bowed and avoided direct eye contact now looking back at him without a hint of fear made him realise this wasn't the same Rex he knew.Months earlier, when he visited his father, he had witnessed firsthand how timid and subservient Rex was, smiling even in the face of insults and curses simply to please Silvia. This memory had stirred within him a deep desire to throttle Rex to death.Jeffrey believes that a man should be the mo
The realisation of him messing with a Lathwyn shocked him making him subconsciously remember the words Rex said firstly, (Oh really? What if I say I can turn you into a janitor with a flip of my finger?)It turns out he truly has the power to turn him into a janitor, rendering all his hard work to go in vain!_Shit, I fucked up!_ Jeffrey grimaced inwardly as he nervously looked at the smiling Rex with his emotions in total disarray.Meanwhile, the fat CEO who seems to have enjoyed his life from the income he earns was standing next to Rex with a fawning expression, not knowing of the event that took place between Rex and Jeffrey. He knew this young master before he had the power to remove him from his position as a CEO so he knew better not to misbehave. "Wouldn't you take me inside?" Rex asked, reminding the CEO that they both were outside."Ah, sorry, my apologies young master Rex, please, this way." He said, gesturing for Rex to follow him towards the office. As the CEO led the
Upon hearing the words, Rex calmly inquired, "Can I see some pictures of the Greenwich Manor?""Of course," McDonald replied, extracting photos from the files and handing them to Rex. "Here you go."Perusing the images, Rex admired the house's decor for some minutes, it suited his taste and without delay, he asked, "What is the cost of this property?"Upon hearing the question, McDonald cleared his throat before answering, "Young Master Rex, factoring in a 30% discount for your affiliation with Lathwyn and an additional 5% for your shareholding, the total price will be $475 million."Cough ~Cough ~Cough ~Upon hearing those words, Jeffrey let out a sharp cough of astonishment._That's approximately 80% of the Medici family's total net worth! And that's including their shops, cars, and other private assets! Just buying a mere house like this will send the Medici crashing down, drain of all liquidity and assets, never to rise again and yet here's someone buying it!_ "Hey Jeffrey, you
Exiting the firm, Rex straightened his collar, pondering while gazing at the early morning sun. "I've sorted the housing issue, and Jeffrey will assist with moving Isabella to the new house and finding a maid. If he runs into that troublesome woman, he can contact me, and I'll sort out the money for her phone. Next up, a visit to Lusty Strippers Club. According to the information from Vincenzo Scarlotti, someone there might facilitate getting closer to the scientist Davis. Sigh, what a perilous mission, but it's worth it. I'd rather risk everything than face financial ruin and mockery again," Rex thought with a wry smile.Rex, although cared so much for his sister was still convinced about leaving his stepsister in Jeffrey's care, certain that Jeffrey wouldn't dare cross him after the substantial offer and minimal threat. Besides, they both share some things in common, Jeffrey wants to be the richest without relying on his family and so does Rex. This alone makes them set aside thei
Pushing and shoving others aside, Rex successfully moved across the dance floor, ignoring the scantily-clad women who tried to rub up against him, their intentions obvious. As he approached the bar, he could feel the heat of the bodies pressed against him, the smell of sweat and alcohol in the air. Finally, he made his way to the bar, where he took a seat, knowing fully well that if he wanted information, the bar was the place to be.The bartender, a man with multiple piercings and a tattoo of a skull on his arms, looked up at him, his expression unreadable. "What can I get for you?" he asked with a hint of annoyance.Rex even with the mask smirked, "A bottle of Long Island Iced Tea, dawg," he replied, his voice dripping with arrogance. The bartender rolled his eyes but grabbed a bottle of the alcoholic drink and started pouring it into a glass. As he did so, he glanced at Rex, taking in his size and muscular build. "You sure you can handle all that?" he asked, his voice laced with sa
"Is Sir Davis training new guards? I thought his company focused on scientific research," Rex inquired, his expression reflecting confusion. His understanding of Sir Davis was that the company primarily centered around scientific endeavors with minimal diversification.Hearing his words, the woman chuckled, elegantly brushing aside some hair strands with her fingers before responding, "What you perceive is precisely what Sir Davis intends you or everyone to perceive; everything he does is a masquerade.""A masquerade?""Yes, a masquerade. Sir Davis's ambitions are extensive, to a degree where no one truly comprehends his objectives. As far as I am aware, he has been taking in numerous orphans from the streets into his company, and they simply vanish without a trace. Not only them but from what I heard, he has also been taking a lot of people with cancers in their bodies, mostly those without backgrounds.""Surely the government should have noticed these anomalies. Why haven't they tak
With the growth of science, humans finally decided to venture into the research regarding cancer.With this, there have been few theories regarding the possibility of cancer extending the human lifespan. One theory suggests that cancer cells when they divide uncontrollably, may inadvertently stimulate the regeneration of healthy cells in the body. This process, known as "cancer cell senescence," could potentially prolong the lifespan of an individual, but it has yet to be proven true.Another theory posits that cancer cells may possess certain "immortalizing" properties that allow them to evade the aging process. These cells may be able to maintain their youthful characteristics for longer periods of time, potentially leading to a longer lifespan for the individual.Now, imagine a world leader with immense wealth, fame, and power; what truly unnerves them is the specter of aging and mortality. Now picture if Davis were to proclaim a remarkable breakthrough in his research, suggesting
Unable to find peaceful rest, Rex awoke at 5:55 am, sitting on his bed, he couldn't help but ponder about his pre-departure tasks. "I need to transfer funds for Isabella's safekeeping. Who knows, I might not make it through this mission," he chuckled softly, trying to hide his anxiety. "Secondly, should I send Jeffrey ahead to manage the organization? No, I can't fully trust him yet. Perhaps hiring a detective to unearth and document corrupt individuals within my company, for now, is a better idea. If I make it back alive then it will be easier to swiftly wipe them out."Aware that time was swiftly ticking before his mission commenced, Rex with newfound resolution, reached for his phone on the bedside table and dialled a number, detailing the mission he had in mind to the recipient.Following a brief conversation, he ended the call with a soft sigh, rose from the bed, and began his workout routine right inside his room. Thankfully it was spacious enough to do some pushups, squatting a
Following that, Rex saw the helicopter taking aim, its missile launcher trained on them, and knew they were about to fire. Without hesitation, he grabbed Selena, who was stunned and disoriented from the crash, and burst out of the car, pulling her to safety just as the missile struck, sending a blast of flames and smoke into the air.The blast blew the car's metallic parts and surrounding rocks to smithereens, sending debris flying everywhere. Then, five individuals jumped out of the helicopter, which was hovering 80 meters above. As they landed, the ground cracked and shockwaves radiated outward, causing the earth to tremble. Despite their varied appearances, Rex sensed their immense strength due to the intense pressure they emitted, which caused his suit to beep incessantly. Their powerful auras made Rex's skin crawl, and he knew he was in for a fierce battle.Selena still struggling to resist the pain which was making her eardrums hurt badly finally lifted her head and spot the fi
The others who have been prepared to rush and assist Chang slowed their steps in confusion.What happened?A few minutes ago, Chang Fong was the one having the upper hand in this battle.What changed?This Rex was totally different from the one they fought back then, he was a monster compared to that one. The other executives that were planning on using this chance to rise their positions couldn't help but slow their movements with alertness on their faces.Crack!The table which the Immortal Organization leader's hand rested on cracked due to the forced he applied on, his face was hidden by the helmet he wore but his assistant coult tell thar he was totally piss off due to what he just watch. Just a moment ago the leader was super excited but now, he is suddenly moody to due to the turn of battle."Rex! I-Will-Murder-YOU!" The leader said as he grit his teeth in annoyance.****With the sci-fi suit finally back in Rex's possession, its true power was unleashed upon their enemies, cre
"Get me the information regarding that man with Metallica ability, he got potentials." The leader ordered happily.Quickly, his assistant search for his information and finally found it before reporting to the leader, "name Chang Fong and... He has little to no achievement except for killing few common soldiers of the USA." "Well, he now has a big achievement! Being able to go toe to toe with Rex is the biggest achievement ever!" The leader scoffed as he let out to which his assistant hurriedly agreed and apologized on missing out on such information.With Selena fighting the Immortal Organization members, Rex who has already casted the camouflage ability on himself has already sneaked into the mix of the immortal organization soldiers without being noticed.This was one of the ability he got from the ring which he bought for a stunning amount back then."Hehehe, now, time for carnage!" Rex grinned.Looking at the limited amount of cars the enemies has, Rex slip between them with his
TatatatatatataThe soldiers quickly start shooting their machine guns to which Selena activated the super boost of the suit, increasing her speed and making her dodge the bullets, following that she also open fire on the enemies.Screams of pain, body's being torn to shred by bullets and commander roaring new orders with the sound of explosion going off once a while immediately occupied the battlefield all thanks to Selena action.The executive quickly send the information to the leader back in the base."He is here!" The leader leap in joy after waiting desperately for some hours now, "order the mobile enforcement team to immediately join you and tell the others from north, east and west to immediately follow up!"_This time, I laugh the last laugh. Victory is mine!_Immediately the other teams receives command, they immediately start moving towards the position the leader told them at a fast speed.On the other side, Selena kept fighting with the suit on, creating chaos withing thr
Saying so, Rex push him armour towards Selena who looked at him in confusion and said, "in the next 8 hours, I will teach you how to use this armour. You will be wearing it into the battle tomorrow.""What about you?" Selena asked with her brow up."In order for us to escape from the enemies encirclement. We will need to create chaos. I will focus on blowing their cars up and their ammunition. With that we will have a easier time of weakening their forces.""How will you sneak into their midst? I am sure they will be prepared against your trick of changing your appearance.""True. Thankfully that isn't my only skill. I can also go invisible. It was that very ability that allowed me cause chaos and still meet up with you in the location back in the base.""Oh... So, you want me to act like you and wear that armour to attract the enemies firepower while you sneak behind and cause chaos?""Yep, since I am the one that truly wants to kill, they wouldn't stop at nothing till they bring me
The leader's eyes constricted as soon as he saw the person calling him, "Rex? Why is he calling me all of a sudden? Track his location for me!" The leader roar.Immediately, the communication technicians start trying to track him.Instantly, the leader accepted the phone call and immediately, Rex's face appear on the screen. Both he and the leader quietly looked at each other for seconds with murderous intent in their eyes."Xup leader immortal?" Rex finally broke the silence."Do you want to surrender? Well too late for you." The leader said coldly.He felt like Rex already knew the situation he was in and that was why he called to talk things out.To him, there was nothing to talk to Rex about and he felt like he could catch Rex sooner or later, meaning he doesn't even have to negotiate."Can you remember back then? I told you, I will bring your organization down, what did you do? You mocked me and took it as a joke..." Rex pause, his voice slow and clear enough for the leader to he
With the cooperation of the two people, the battle quickly came to an end.Immediately, Rex head out and find any usable equipment from the enemies own with some foodstuffs."From my calculations, it seems like the enemies reinforcement might arrive in the next 15 minutes. We need to move in the next 5-7 minutes. Can you keep driving? If not we can swap positions." Rex said as he saw Selena resting."Don't worry, I can keep up." Saying so, she took another energy drink, boosting her energy back."Okay," Rex nodded. He quickly took the useful parts of equipment and immediately they drove off with the anti radar above their head. With it, the only way for the immortal organization members to find them again was through a mass search.****Ten minutes later, the immortal organization reinforcement members arrive but the only thing they saw were the destroyed part of cars belonging to their teammates. As for Rex and Selena, they had ones again disappeared from their sight.****Back in t
"Mummy," Cerulean suddenly called out with a worried expression on his cute face, "do you think uncle Rex will be okay?" "He will. He definitely will. He is a hero after all." Sarafina said in a assuring tone. She was sure he will, she hoped he will.Due to Rex action of bringing the information of the immortal organization, he naturally was at the eye of the storm as everyone put their expectations on him due to it.Like so, four days has pass after the Rex burst out from the immortal organization headquarter.****When one look down at the Antarctica desert from an eagle eye viewpoint one will see a ferocious looking jeep dashing across the sandy desert, leaving behind trails of smoke and dust on its wake.Some kilometers behind it were hundreds of immortal organization soldiers cars chasing it."Seems like they didn't send more people this time. What a sad event." Rex click his tongue in frustration.Meanwhile, Selena looked at him expressionlessly. She was too busy driving the ca
Suddenly, one of the commanders in the room received phone call which made his expression changed drastically, immediately he stood up and whispered into one of the other commander's ear who nodded immediately.Following that he pass an announcement."Listen commanders. Rex Lathwyn has sneaked into the main base and stole some key information needed to immediately end this battle. He also discovered that the immortal organization has planted approximately 50 nuclear missiles across different areas in different countries. The only way to for him to give us the information is if we protect him and ensure he leaves the immortal organization area safely.""Impossible," one of the commanders immediately reject the idea as he said, "there is no way for us to believe him except he send the information for us to verify it.""Actually he did send one location first and it turns out to be in England. Close to your house to be precise, sir.""Then agree to it immediately!""Yes Sir!""But...""D
