Next day.
Sunday.
The sun had risen a long time ago, with golden shining on the land.
Rex was on his balcony doing push-ups.
His movements were steady and controlled to perfection.
Rex never neglected his own training.
His intelligence had surpassed normal people, he understood that his own strength is more important than external means.
Saffa’s existence changed his understanding towards power.
Compared to him, he was still weak.
That thing alone was enough for him to continue pushing forward every day.
He believed reaching ten points in every stat was already the peak of humanity, but after Saffa appeared, he realized that what the system called “human limit” was merely the limit of ordinary humans.
There were still higher stages beyond that.
This world was more complicated than he thought.
Even his was giving surprises now and then.
He was thinking about his next plans, when a knock came from downstairs that disrupted his thoughts.
Sandy’s voice sounded loudly.
“Rex!
Open the damn gate already!” Rex shook his head and sighed.
He walked downstairs casually and opened the gate.
Sandy stood there wearing black jeans and a loose shirt while chewing gum lazily.
You took forever,” Sandy complained.
Rex glanced at him.
“You came thirty minutes early.” “That just proves your reaction speed is slow.” Rex just rolled his eyes.
Inside Rex’s mother, Jasmine was arranging snacks on the table.
Seeing Sandy, smiled warmly, “You came early.” Sandy became obedient instantly, “How can I be late, when your cooking’s so delicious.” Rex looked speechlessly, “You really are a two faced raccoon.” Sandy just ignored him and focused on the snacks.
After a short snack, the two of them left for the Eastern Dragon mansion.
– Eastern Dragon mansion.
A mansion Rex had constructed with top class security and a wide area to work out on his plans.
A massive black gate stood at the front with dragon-shaped pillars on both sides carved from white stone.
A white jade dragon stood at the right side of the entrance nearly fifteen feet tall.
It’s head looked at the sky with sharp eyes.
Sandy looked around while whistling.
“No matter how many times I come here, this place still feels ridiculous.” Rex walked forward calmly.
“This place will become more important in the future.” The Eastern Dragon Mansion occupied a massive area.
The main building was a three story mansion with a eastern modern architectural design.
In the inner courtyard there was a wide space dedicated to training.
It was capable of holding 3000 people at once.
The mansion was fully equipped with training facilities, weapons and others.
Behind the mansion was weapon storage rooms, underground facilities, garages, gardens and resting areas.
At this moment- in the inner courtyard there were 500 people standing neatly waiting for him.
Alongside them, there were also his 20 personal servants.
In front of them were butler Jonathan, Alfred and Victor.
As Rex entered the place, everything became silent.
Then instantly all of them bowed down together, “Greeting, Young Master Rex.” Their voice shook the mansion.
Even Sandy felt goosebumps rise on his skin.
No matter how many times he saw this scene, it still felt like fantasy to him.
Rex stood in front and surveyed them.
His expression was calm, but inside he was emotional.
These people, they have assisted him in various ways from the beginning.
They protected his family and expanded his company while also gathering secret intelligence.
Some even risked their lives.
It would be wrong to say that he was not emotionally attached to them.
Moreover, everyone of these people were his most loyal subordinates.
They were given by the system and had absolute loyalty.
Rex looked at them seriously and said, “All of you have worked hard, served me loyally for all these years.” The people remained silent, but many felt emotional hearing Rex personally saying those words.
“But this world is far more complicated than I currently know.
Even if there is no danger currently we have to be ready for all possibilities.” So I have decided that from now on all of you will train here every day.
I want every single one of you to become stronger.” The atmosphere turned serious.
Rex moved slightly to the side, “This person is Saffa.” Saffa had been silently standing behind all this time alongside Sandy.
“He will train all of you from now on.
I and my friend Sandy will also be training here with all of you.” Saffa’s mere presence made many difficult to brethe.
His pressure was terrifying.
“Your goal is simple.
Break the human limit and step onto the next stage.” Hearing these words from Rex all the people had mixed reaction.
Some were happy, some were tense.
While some were emotional, as they didn’t expect their master to train with them.
But the people in the front became shocked.
They knew more than others did.
They thought, Breaking the human limit, was it truly possible.
“I am not asking you weather you can do it or not, you will have to do it without an option to reject.
The world will not show mercy to the weak” Silence filled the courtyard, and suddenly Alfred stepped forward, “This subordinate is willing to follow Young Master till death.” Everyone else followed, “We are willing.” Sandy, however, had an ugly expression.
All these years he had been tormented by Rex’s training methods.
He leaned forward and whispered, “Looking at this scene, I feel like we’re a part of……..some villain organization.” Rex just shook his shoulders, “Probably” Sandy laughed, “You actually admit it.” Although he said these he was actually grateful as they helped him shape the Sandy of today, he didn’t like the feeling of despair he felt while training.
Looking at Saffa’s figure he had a bad feeling.
His instinct told him that he would more than what he suffered at Rex’s hands.
But he also knew Rex was doing this for his own good so he gritted his teeth and decided to train with Rex.
After all he will go through the same brutal methods as well.
Saffa looked at the crowd and said, “From now on you all belong to me.
I will just say one thing, you won’t die that is my only guarantee but you will have to go through the training no matter the condition.” No one moved, but suddenly without any warning, Saffa stomped his foot lightly on the ground.
BOOM!
Cracks spread across the stone floor.
Everyone was shocked to the core.
But Sandy was horrified, “I knew this guy was a monster but this…..” Most of the people wore an expression of expectation for the future.
While some were worried.
— After arranging things for them Rex sat down inside the mansion and called for Jonathan, Alfred and Victor.
Sitting alongside him were Saffa and Sandy.
“You should know why I called you here.” Rex said calmly while taking occasional sips of cold drinks.
Jonathan nodded respectfully, “We are aware, Young master.
It is about Ragnar.
After his doings yesterday, we started to dig in to the secrets.
And we found a lot of information.” Victor’s eyes turned cold, “The talk about Miss Irene about being your uncle’s illegitimate daughter is also true.
It happened after your uncle’s third daughter was born.” “The situation is far worse than you can imagine.
Your uncle assaulted Miss Irene’s mother.
It can be said that the entire fault lies within your uncle.” Alfred added, “I found out that she is not the only one like this.
Apparently, there were other such cases.
One of them, afraid of facing the society left for another state with the kids, unlike Irene’s mother who chose to commit suicide.” Rex’s heart was far from calm hearing this information.
The atmosphere became heavy.
Even Sandy felt it.
Although he had suspected things to be like this.
Hearing them confirm his suspicion was something he didn’t expect.
“Have you gathered the evidence for these?” Victor responded with a nod, “We had the evidence for almost a year now.
We didn’t tell you firstly because you never asked and secondly we didn’t want it to affect your mentality.
Please forgive me for this.” “What else have you gathered?” Alfred joined in, “We found out that he was also involved in the political power struggle and also had a murder case on him that was buried by those in power.
They helped your uncle bury many things.
Murder is just one of them, but he did not participate directly.” “Keep on investigating.
Now I want you to investigate Ragnar as much as possible.
Gather evidence for every dirt that he has on him.” All three responded together, “As you wish Young Master” “Jonathan we can begin that plan of yours.
It’s time to let my parents know what their son is capable of.” “I will proceed accordingly starting tomorrow.
You can rest at ease young master.
The financial recods and the patent explanation is already prepared.” Rex then looked at Saffa, “Saffa, these three in front of you will be the main focus of your training, as well as Sandy and me.
Starting tomorrow, you can begin to train us.” Saffa nodded.
His expression remained indifferent.
“I understand.” Rex stood up slowly, “You may all leave” Sandy said before leaving, “You know I already regret agreeing to this training thing.” Rex got up and went to his room on the second floor of the Eastern Dragon Mansion.
Once there he asked, “Alice” [YES, HOST] “Tell me about the second sandbox”
