Lucas turned to Ren and shouted, "No! Don't give him the token. Leave this place now!"

"Young man, if you listen to me, I will let you live. I wo-" Julian stopped his words halfway when he caught sight of Scarlett and Diana.

'What beautiful women!"

A lustful smile appeared on his face.

"Hand over the token and those two beauties and I won't kill you." Julian corrected his words.

An aura of anger burst out from Diana and Scarlett.

But even so, they didn't attack him and remained in their places.

"You want to take my women?!" Ren's eyes gleamed with a terrifying sharpness.

"Yeah! Do as I say, and you will walk out of here alive," Julian was not afraid of Ren.

Among the three people behind him, one of them was at the Unity rank, so he believed Ren could not do anything to him.

"At first, I wanted to stay out of this since it had nothing to do with me, but I've changed my mind. Since you have the audacity to set your eyes on my women, then I will personally send you to hell." Julian had crossed the line, so Ren would kill him no matter what.

"Haha." Julian laughed loudly. "Do you think you can kill me?"

Ren retrieved his Aether Weapon and turned it into a sword.

"Tch! It seems like you have no idea who you are facing," Julian said in annoyance. "Kill him now!"

"Die!" The three masked figures rushed toward him immediately.

Like Julian, they also saw Ren as a weakling.

But when Ren's body transformed into a bolt of blue lightning and attacked them at an incredible speed, they finally realized that they were not facing a handsome awakener.

They were facing a powerful enemy.

No!

They were facing the angel of death himself because at that moment, he no longer looked like a human being.

*Dug…

The sound of their bodies falling to the ground echoed in their ears.

Terror overtook his face when Julian saw their lifeless bodies.

They were powerful awakeners, yet they were killed by Ren instantly.

They didn't even last a second.

It was as if they were nothing more than helpless chickens lined up to be slaughtered.

Bang!

Julian fell on his butt.

His body trembled, and his confidence shattered like glass.

Not only that, but in his eyes, Ren suddenly turned into a grim reaper.

The closer Ren was to him, the bigger the fear within him became.

At that moment, he finally realized that making Ren his enemy was a grave mistake.

"No! No! You can't kill me!" Julian dragged his body backward. "I don't want your women anymore. I don't want the token either. Please don't kill me! Please!"

At that moment, he desperately wanted to run away, but his legs had turned frail from fear, so his only remaining option was to beg Ren for forgiveness.

After all, he was only a 4-star mage, so he knew it was impossible to defeat Ren.

While Julian was trembling in fear, Lucas widened his eyes in shock.

He previously thought Ren was only as strong as him, but now, he finally knew that he was wrong.

He was utterly wrong!

'He killed them in one move?!'

Normally, killing a warrior at the Unity rank was not an easy task.

But that didn't apply to Ren as he could kill them as easily as turning the palm of his hand.

While Lucas was in a state of shock, Diana and Scarlett acted normally.

They knew how amazing their boyfriend was, so they only smiled in satisfaction when he killed them.

"Handsome, kill him too!" Diana shouted.

"Yes. Kill him, Ren!" Scarlett added.

"Please… please don't kill me. Please…" Julian still begged Ren to show mercy as he didn't want to die.

Ren ignored his plea and approached him slowly. "The moment you had wicked thoughts about my women, that was the moment you sealed your fate."

"No…No…" Julian's pupils quivered when Ren raised his sword.

*Slash…

Julian's head flew into mid-air, and his blood painted the ground red.

"This is the price for your actions." Ren swung his sword once, casting off Julian's blood from the sword.

"Ren!" Diana and Scarlett rushed toward him with cheerful smiles.

Ren stored his sword in his space ring and smiled softly at them. Shortly after that, he approached Lucas while holding the token of authority.

He planned to return it because he already had an organization under his name.

"Old man, they are already dead, so I will return this token to you." Ren didn't care how big the Crimson Sun organization was.

If he took on another one, it would only mean less time with his women, and he didn't want that.

"Young man, I've already passed my position to you, so I won't take back the token of authority." Lucas refused instantly.

After witnessing Ren's strength, Lucas no longer saw him as just a last resort.

If he had chosen Ren out of desperation before, now he chose him because he believed Ren could take the organization to new heights.

They might even rise to the top three on the entire continent because he had never heard of anyone killing a Unity-rank warrior in a second before.

Since Lucas wanted to change his mind, he took off his space ring and gave it to Ren. "There are many valuable items here. It will be of great help to you later."

"Why are you giving your space ring to me?" Ren was puzzled. "If you get treatment right away, I'm sure you can recover."

"No. It's already too late." Lucas shook his head. "Deadly poison has spread throughout my body. In my current state, I know I won't live much longer. That's why I hope you are willing to be the new leader of the Crimson Sun organization."

"Old man, I can't bec-" before Ren had finished his words, Lucas coughed up blood again, causing him to stop his words halfway.

"Young man, please take care of the organization. Don't let it disappear from this world." Right after voicing his wish, Lucas passed away.

*Sigh…

Ren let out a deep sigh.

'I should have been more assertive earlier.'

He didn't do it because Lucas was old and heavily injured.

"What are you going to do with his organization, Ren?" Scarlett asked curiously.

"Well, it's his final wish. I have no other choice but to take care of his organization now." Ren could not refuse since Lucas had died.

"Are you going to become their leader? Then what about your organization?" Diana inquired.

"I'm not going to become their leader. I will return this token and let them choose a new leader." Ren replied. "When I said I would take care of their organization, I meant I would put them under my wing."

"I see." Diana agreed with his idea because she believed the Crimson Sun organization was not as great as his Moon Palace.

"Alright. Let's keep moving and find a way out of this forest." Ren didn't check Lucas' space ring as he was not interested in it.

"Un." Scarlett and Diana nodded in unison.
