Clifford’s sudden reaction left everyone in the room speechless, enveloped in a heavy silence. They all turned to look at Clifford, their faces marked by confusion.Who exactly was Richard?After the incidents involving Eric and the events that had unfolded in the prison, they had their suspicions but had never pursued the truth. One by one, they refrained from raising Richard’s identity.“Even if I’ve never said it outright, you couldn’t figure it out? After what happened to Eric, none of you know who Richard really is? You still think he’s just an adopted child of the Dwayne family? Is that it?!” Clifford slammed the meeting table again, rising from his seat.“You’re asking headquarters to revoke Richard’s citizenship?! Are you sure?! Speak up! Are you sure?! Have any of you been to the border regions?! Have you been there when the entire nation was on the brink of losing our territory?!”“Where were you when our border ambassador was detained overseas?! Where?!! Did you go?!” Cliff

Richard felt touched by the sincerity of those who defended him in such a critical moment.“Calm down! I know your good intentions. It wasn’t them who kicked me out, but I voluntarily resigned. I’m the one who expelled myself.” “Now, everyone leave! This is my order!” Richard said firmly.This time, none of them moved. The senior officials there furrowed their brows tightly. The head of the headquarters, the old man, who had been silent inside, also stepped out.As soon as the officials saw the head, they hurried forward and said, “Sir, look at these people! They say they want to leave with Richard. This is nonsense!”“What is this? Is this headquarters owned by Richard?” the official said angrily.“So, are you loyal to the headquarters or to Richard?” the official asked the soldiers in front of him.The room fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.Richard even narrowed his eyes at the official.“In my opinion, you are the one who’s talking nonsense!” the head said to the senior o

Arthur sneered at the hospital director, who was already kneeling and begging. “Now this is better. You should have obeyed from the start. They would all have survived!”“Alright, Sir! We will never help Richard again,” the director replied with a trembling voice.Arthur had come to the hospital and forced the director to stop helping Richard, while also disposing of his grandfather’s body that was still stored at the hospital.At first, when he heard Arthur’s words, the director was angry and immediately contacted the captains from headquarters. But unfortunately, the captain did nothing because Arthur’s actions had the approval of the senior officials at headquarters.The senior officials instructed the captain not to intervene and even ordered the hospital director to comply with Arthur. To avoid offending Griffin, who was behind Arthur, the senior officials allowed the attack on Richard to continue without informing the Head, the old man.“Hahahaha... Mr. Arthur is really amazing!

“It’s impossible, Captain! How could you be expelled from this country? I’ll go to the headquarters and talk to the officials there. They shouldn’t treat you like this.”“What if you offend powerful people? What are they afraid of?”Apparently, that spirit was contagious to all the troops present. Through the phone connection, Richard could hear voices of support from the soldiers.Richard’s heart calmed a little at that moment. He knew that the expulsion carried out by the senior officials was solely to separate him from the headquarters and his troops.In this way, they hoped Richard would leave Rio Dio Country soon— the sooner, the better. Richard’s presence had become an obstacle for them in advancing their careers.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door several times and spoke from outside.“Mr. Richard, I’m the hotel manager. Our leadership has asked you to leave this hotel immediately.”The voice reached Richard’s ears. His brow furrowed. “Captain, what’s going on with you?”Tur

Griffin kneeled on the ground, looking at the woman in front of him with a respectful demeanor. There was no expression in his gaze. Perhaps there was one, but for some reason, he did not show it.Griffin was regarded as an emperor by Arthur and Andri. But in front of Ravenna, he was like a dog kneeling.“Are you questioning me?” Ravenna said, her voice laced with emotion, causing Griffin to tremble.Griffin quickly snapped back to reality. It turned out that he had been so puffed up from the praise he received from Arthur that he forgot who he really was.Slap!! Slap!!Griffin raised his hand and slapped his own cheek hard, then spoke in fear, “Master, I am useless. Please forgive me. It’s been three days, and the child has still not been found.”“Master, please give me more time...”Ravenna stared at Griffin for a moment. She then stood up and left without saying a word. To her, Griffin was just a servant and not worthy of speaking much.Meanwhile, Griffin sighed in relief once Rave
