Judging from the King's physique, it was clear he was most likely a Combatant cultivator, which meant those who focused more on offensive skills when cultivating.He sat across from Richard and scanned him briefly before shifting his attention to Melinda.His gaze lingered on her for a moment, a lustful thought crossing his mind as it did before he returned to face Richard.“My boys told me you are a High-risk Individual. I rather doubt it so I'm here to test it out.”Before Richard could offer a response, he unleashed a powerful spiritual wave, intending to suppress him. However, his pathetic attempt at asserting dominance was met with a raised brow from Richard as he inquired.“What was that?”The King shook inwardly at the unexpected question.Was his spiritual energy so weak it was considered lesser than air by this new visitor?Now he understood why the bartender had labeled him High risk and he dared to antagonize him just now.Coughing awkwardly, the King remarked. “A rite of

Richard was awoken the next morning by the telephone placed in the hotel room he and Melinda were staying in.Rubbing his eyes, he got out of bed and picked it up only to hear an unfamiliar voice.[Hello, Mr. Smith.]Raising a brow, Richard replied. “Who is this?” [Ah yes, where are my manners?... You may call me Alejandro Lopez]“Okay?... How can I help you?” [Actually, Mr. Smith, it's you that can help me, from committing mass murder, that is]“What are you talking about?”[How about you check the news, Mr. Smith?... It should give you some context]Still rather confused, he obliged as he picked up the TV remote and turned on the TV.At this point, Melinda had woken up and inquired sleepily. “Who's that?”“Some guy calling himself Alejandro Lopez.”Before Melinda could comment further, the news came on.[Breaking news; the popular jewelry store, Merrys, has taken quite a huge hit as their store is burned down and its workers declared missing. Authorities are looking into the situa

“You bastard!... Do you dare to go against the Lopez family like this?... Do you think we won't retaliate?... My family will find you even if you flee to the ends of the earth, they will drag you back like an animal and flay you, so you'd best go down on your knees and beg for forgiveness, do you understand me!” Alejandro bellowed as he glared hatefully at Richard.This was supposed to be just like the other times when people had dared to go against the Lopez family.Alejandro was considered the weakest in the main family bloodline but that also made him the most twisted amongst them.Others might opt to just kill but Alejandro enjoyed causing pain and torturing people, making them weep like babies and crushing their self-esteem until they were nothing more than vegetables.He intended to do the same today, to beat Richard, then make him beg then take him back to his torture chambers to have his fun with him.Just the face of terror Richard would have caused Alejandro to grow joyous a

David stared at the TV, his expression impassive as the news played out.Alejandro who stood behind him was ghastly pale as terror washed over him as he was convinced he was dead meat.The video was meant to glorify the Lopez family but Richard ended up using it to bring them down.Davina bit down on her lower lip as she knew what this meant.Despite her actions, she still cared about the Lopez family and would never wish to see it fall, if only because she could never imagine bowing down to someone else.“David, this…”“It hasn't happened in the many years that my Lopez family has reigned as masters in Barracuda. Nothing and no one has ever dared to come after us like this and with such proof that even my associates are unable to find a way around it. Yet, in my generation, I end up seeing such a mess, Davina, what now?”“Will you blame your son for this?”“Of course!” David bellowed.Davina snorted. “And forget that the man who sent this is still out there?”“Is he wrong?... The Lop

Javier had planned to take care of Anna quickly so he would be able to claim the reward money but now faced with the man that had dared to beat up the son of the Lopez family, he had to admit that his plans had been waylaid.Even he didn't dare think he could take on so many armed men unscathed yet the man had done it and now that same man was standing a few meters away.“I'm giving you a chance to walk away, assassin. Name your price and leave. I won't harm you.” Richard remarked causing Javier to click his tongue.“And here I thought this would be a clean job. Fine then, 10 million and 3 million extra considering I won't be claiming the bounty on her head.”“There's a bounty on her head?” Richard raised a brow earning a chuckle from Javier.“You didn't know?”Richard glanced at Anna and she nodded, affirming Javier's words.“Fine then, I'll wire 15 million dollars to your account. Your mission, if you choose to accept is to hunt down all those that accepted the bounty and kill them.
