Silence enveloped them for a moment. With his whole body suddenly cold, Reginald began to tremble violently in his place. His eyes widened, filled with fear and disbelief.He shook his head while stepping back, his gaze still locked on Richard’s face until his back hit the table behind him. The man fell to the floor, pale and shaking his head.“No… it can’t be… how is this possible? H-how could this happen?! Hahahaha, this must be a trap for me; they must be trying to prank me,” Reginald muttered.“Who?! Who dares make a joke like this?!” Reginald shouted, staring intently at Richard’s face, filled with shock. The man could not stop denying what he saw with his own eyes.Richard, who rarely appeared in public, meant that most of the guests there did not recognize him.“Who is he? Why is Reginald’s reaction upon seeing that man so extreme?”“I’ve met him before; he looks somewhat familiar.”A big question mark filled the heads of the guests. Even the representatives of important famili

No one noticed the change in Mr. Clifford’s expression except for Richard. He caught the slight relaxation in the chairman’s tense face upon hearing Reginald’s shout.“You?” the stranger asked suspiciously, his eyebrows furrowed. His eyes scanned Reginald from head to toe before asking again, “Are you Roderick Dwayne’s biological grandson?”“That’s right! I am the heir of the Dwayne family, which means I’m also Roderick’s biological grandson,” Reginald replied, nodding enthusiastically.“You’re friends of my grandfather, aren’t you? You came to help me, right? Hahaha! I knew it!” Reginald continued, not waiting for the strangers’ response.“These people escaped from prison! Don’t let them get away! Remember! Capture them all and throw them back into their cells! If possible, let them all die and rot in there!” the man shouted again, pointing at Richard and the others while glaring at them with wide eyes.Elena, along with the others standing beside Richard, seemed to recognize the str

About seven or eight meters behind the man, precisely behind the window, a pair of eyes filled with vengeance were watching. Those eyes were glaring sharply and angrily at Alexander’s frail body.“Who is that?!” Alexander shouted as he quickly turned around. He sensed someone was watching him. His eyes met the face of someone with a cruel gaze.His heart stopped for a moment, his face pale. The owner of that face was, “Wil-Wilbur?!”***Richard, who had just arrived at The Velvet Fork, didn’t go straight to his room but called Elena to enter a VIP room.“In the next two days, you need to transfer all ownership of Monolith Group. Remember! The news must not get out! Also, we can’t let the people who just got released from detention take over.”“Why is that, Boss?” Elena asked, slightly shocked.“You’ll find out the reason later,” Richard replied with a mysterious smile. “Just make sure to tell them not to take over Monolith Group. If not, they’ll go bankrupt without a trace!”Even thou

Wilona suddenly felt a tinge of anxiety. She actually sensed something strange about the drop in the market value of that giant company.But because her mind was clouded by greed, she hastily ordered the finance department to liquidate the funds.However, due to just one command from Aurora, the money was returned to her. If there were indeed plans behind the company’s declining value, then the Monolith Group would not be willing to return the money to Skyler again.On top of that, Wilona always felt that Aurora intended to confront her. Just these two reasons were enough to erase Wilona’s bad thoughts about the Monolith Group.“Why? Don’t you believe in Monolith? Why aren’t you brave enough to use your personal funds? You say I’m just a simpleton who can’t manage a company; you’re so great, right? Why not take over a new company?”“This already proves that your funds aren’t sufficient. One hundred billion is too much for you!” Wilona’s fists were clenched in anger, turning her knuck

A representative from the elite group of Vandrelis Country was standing at the door, his serious face fixed on Richard, who was wearing a leather mask to disguise himself.“You!”“You said the 200 trillion collateral would be returned within 3 days. It’s now been over 3 days, and why hasn’t the money been returned?”Richard showed a hint of shock. He soon slammed the table and shouted, “Bastard! I’ve already returned the money!”He continued, “The money transfer abroad will be subject to a 7% tax. Two days ago, the chamber of commerce in Ligos city transferred the money to Monolith Group.”“Didn’t the chamber of commerce inform you about this beforehand?”The chamber of commerce is an official government body authorized to collect taxes from foreign funds. However, there are many ways for private companies to evade that tax. Including the representative from the elite group of Vandrelis Country, he actually wanted to avoid that tax.The representative’s mood was very mixed at the mom
