Everyone’s eyes fell on him in shock. But Richard had his reasons. Sir Vester was the most shocked of all. His brows furrowed deep but before he could say anything, Richard took the glass for his hand and placed it on the table.“You can drink this instead,” Richard reached for the bottle of wine he had brought along and stretched it to him.“How rude of you, Richard!” Daniel eyed Richard with intense disdain. “How dare you interrupt grandpa?“Collin snorted. “He didn’t even offer a better wine. I’ve never seen that label before, it must be some cheap brand.”“You really have some nerves–““That’s…” Sir Vester suddenly straightened, his eyes widening. His gaze fixed on the bottle in Richard’s hands. “That’s…” his voice trailed off in disbelief as he reached for the wine. Everyone on the table furrowed their brows, confused by Sir Vester’s reaction. He was supposed to be angry. He was supposed to be upset at Richard’s rudeness.But Sir Vester’s expression darkened with astonishment.

Richard’s brows shot up as he stood. “Sir, no, no—It’s really fine…”“Are- are you sure?”“Of course,” Richard answered and slowly sat down. Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, Daniel and Collin exchanged glances, their irritation barely concealed. Even if Richard saved Sir Vester’s life, they both didn’t like Richard. They thought he was shady. Despite their efforts to run a background check on him, they couldn’t find anything reasonable, leaving them with more questions than answers.He felt too mysterious and it was annoying!All they knew was that he was a the miracle doctor’s apprentice. And that’s was all. Daniel clenched his jaw, watching how his grandfather’s entire demeanor soften toward Richard. When had he ever cared for a stranger this much? He saved his life, so what?“We had the exclusive card, so he only performed his duty. Tch!” Daniel mumbled to himself.“Mr Josh,” Collin suddenly called, his voice unnecessarily high. “These are lacquer leaves. They’re pretty

Thud! Dario’s trembling knees hit the ground and he bowed before Richard. “Boss, who am I that you would grant me such great power? This should be yours. You are the true warrior. I am not worthy.”Richard ignored his words and calmly said, “I have no desire to have this. Stretch forth your hands.”Under Richard’s order, Dario hesitated before stretching forth his trembling hands, and Richard gently placed the rings there. With that, he took his leave. Dario remained frozen for a moment before he relaxed his hands, his eyes finding the rings in his palms. His breath hitched as he stared at the rings in awe and disbelief. He could not stop trembling. The sudden weight of responsibility pressed down on him, heavier than he ever imagined. These were not just rings. They represented great power. And the common saying goes; ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’From leading the underground forces in a single city to ruling over the entire northern and eastern territories… Th

“My- my turn?”Kent’s senses went on high alert the moment Richard took a step forward. And he began to run. In the real sense, he tried to run. But he couldn’t. Before he knew it, Richard’s hands shut out, gripping his neck with unyielding force.Kent gasped, his body frozen in place as Richard’s fingers closed around his throat. The world around him blurred for a second as he struggled for breath. And the next second that he opened his eyes, he found himself held out the window at the far end of the hall. His body was dangling from Richard’s grasp.Kent’s heart hammered against his chest as he looked down, realizing how high he was. The floor beneath was a sea of bodies, and he was about to join them… soon.Indescribable terror surged through him. And his left hand shot out, clinging to Richard’s grip on his shirt.“Please, don’t let me go!” Kent’s voice trembled, pleading as his eyes flicked between Richard’s unreadable face, and his death below. Richard releasing him equaled h

Gaza was the number one Underboss in the entirety of Kora. Other underbosses ruled over segments in the nation…But Gaza ruled over them. All of them!Only a handful of people knew him, talkless of his maiden name; Maro, which was the name he went by instead of his father’s surname.How did Richard know that?“You know Boss Gaza?” Lorenzo’s brows furrowed slightly. He was evidently taken aback. “I will give you the chance to take your own life. This way, your body might still remain in one piece,” Richard demanded. “My body?” His heart began to race, but only for a few seconds. “Pfft,” he laughed. ‘Am I crazy?’ He thought to himself, scolding himself for getting frightened by Richard. “There’s no way on earth you know Boss Gaza.” Lorenzo concluded that Richard must be merely bluffing. “And who the fuck are you to call his name without respect??”“For the last time, I will give you the opportunity to end your life with your own hands… if you want your body in one piece.”“Are you ou

Dario wanted to inform Richard of how terrible a decision it would be if he went to Lorenzo’s mansion alone. Lorenzo was a menace. He was terror itself. Even Dario himself wouldn’t dare to face him. But no matter what Dario could’ve said, Richard’s mind was already made up. A short distance away from the towering gates of Lorenzo’s mansion. Richard could see several bodyguards stationed outside.He didn’t care. Bang!Richard slammed his foot on the gas, crashing through the gates and sending them flying into the air. He served the car with great precision and brought it to a sudden halt before flying out of the car. Without letting a second pass, the guards immediately surrounded Richard.The plan was to beat him into stupor, then carry his weakened body before Lorenzo for his final death.

Elizabeth’s anger boiled as she approached Dario too with calculated steps. Watching her soldiers fall one by one, crushed by the Persian Empire’s forces twisted her guts and she couldn’t stop thinking about it as she stared at Dario. ‘I’m going to kill you today!’ she thought to herself with fierce determination. She had made up her mind as her helicopter descended that either her or Dario would die today. And she was certain that she was not going to be the one.Dario on the other hand wondered who Elizabeth thought she was to land uninvited in his empire. The audacity was as outrageous as it was infuriating.‘Unwise audacity has always been her thing. When I’m done with her, she would wish she didn’t make this choice,’ Dario said to himself. Their gaze remained fixed on each other and time seemed slow. Suddenly, Elizabeth reached out to her gun and started shooting at Dario. The gunshots rang out across the premises, echoing in the ears of everyone around. But as the bullets s

At the eastern border of the empire, the loud sounds from gunshots and clash of swords and shields filled the air. The soldiers from the Beth empire came ready and rained an attack on the Persian empire. But to their surprise, they weren’t as ready as the soldiers of the Persian empire. Elizabeth and her ally kingdoms had decided to rain an apocalyptic attack on Persian and had been planning this very attack for months. But unfortunately for Elizabeth, her trusted ally kingdoms opted out and failed her on the supposed day of the attack; today. They recognized Dario’s strength and power and knew that they wouldn’t dare!But despite being betrayed by her allies, Elizabeth was adamant on going on with the attack with her own men. A few of her allies tried to talk her out of it but they failed as she was determined to attack Persian without a heads up or a warning. “Y’all are so obsessed with us,” a Persian soldier sneered at one of Beth’s soldiers, looking down at his lifeless body

Dario let his gaze wander around the throne room, taking in the majesty that surrounded him. Every single thing around was a testament to his journey.He closed his eyes and leaned back against the throne, allowing his mind to drift and be filled with the memories of his past. The thoughts of days when he had nothing, when survival was a daily struggle, and he and Maria had to scavenge abandoned leftovers on the street. Those days, when they returned to their home on the street after going out to scavenge for food, Maria would ask, “what did you find?”And Dario would also ask, “Were you able to get plenty?”The bitter cold nights coupled with the gnawing hunger and the hopelessness that often threatened to consume him. But he also remembered the moment things got a little bit better; when Sir Davis miraculously came around. It was still hard but it got better. Life was humiliating and filled with insults until everything suddenly turned around for good. From a ‘nobody’ one night,

SEVEN MONTHS LATER…The air of the mansion was thick with the scent of power and influence as the President and his associates discussed with Dario in the throne room.“Mr Dario,” the president continued, “again, thank you for seeing us on such short notice.” Dario returned a smile as bright as the President’s, nodding and said, “It’s always a pleasure, Mr President. Please, to what do I owe this pleasure?”The president glanced at his associates with relief evident on his face and answered, “I will just cut to the chase. We’re here today because over the past months, it has become clear what the people have chosen.”Dario took a second to try to understand what exactly the president meant and was driving at. “What the people have chosen?” he asked. “Yes, Mr Dario. And by this, I mean the people in the entire country.”“Okay,” Dario answered, dragging his word and waiting for the president to continue talking.“The truth is that, I have always admired you since the presidential cont

Blake’s mouth went dry instantly as his eyes shot at Dario. He could hear his heart pounding so hard in his ears. “Y… your… your Ma-“ With Dario’s eyes still locked with Blake’s, he added, “Thank you for everything. You know what I mean by everything.” After his statement, he smiled and chuckled at Blake. “You… your majesty,” he stammered and swiftly cleaned the sweat on his forehead with his sweaty palms. “I- I don’t know what you’re talking about, Your Majesty,” he lied, his voice shaking. “Oh, really?” Dario asked, his brows slightly stretched upward. He then looked down and said, “Oh, Blake-“ The next second, Dario raised his head and glared intensely at Blake. His face was now tense and focused, conveying anger and intense annoyance. “There is no need to lie. And trust me, I’m not going to accommodate your lies one more time,” he added, his jaw clenched tight, making the muscles of his face look more pronounced. “You!” Dario shouted and placed the tip of his pocke
