Now, Dharia reluctantly had no choice but to find another way.But what other way did she have?Wait a minute!She already had one!Dharia, whose expressions had been shifting the whole time, suddenly lifted her head. The corners of her lips curled into a cruel smile.“How could I forget that Richard still has someone who is the most important to him!” the woman shouted.It should be noted that Dharia was no longer the same person. After she went through the most devastating event in her life—where her entire family was killed—there was only one obsession in her heart.To make Aurora suffer. She wanted Aurora to be tortured to the point where she would rather die than continue to live in torment. She also wanted to separate her half-sister from Richard. And then watch them kill each other. After avenging herself, she planned to become someone powerful—someone whose abilities far exceeded that of an ordinary human. Then, she would join that place. Afterward, she would face Richard an

“That’s Richard! He should be our target!” shouted one of the henchmen, reminding the tattooed man. But instead, he received a slash of a knife.The other henchmen widened their eyes in disbelief at what had just happened before them, as did Richard, who was equally shocked.Stab!The tattooed man swung his knife again toward the head of the henchman who had shouted, spilling fresh blood that splattered onto the ground. Everyone stared at him in disbelief, stepping back slowly while murmuring,“The boss has gone mad! He’s killing his own men!”‘“What’s happening?! Why is this happening?!”Hysterical and terrified screams echoed, making anyone who heard them shiver involuntarily. Richard stood frozen in place, his face etched with shock.At first, he thought the tattooed man was going to kill him. But who would have thought that what was happening now was the man chasing his own henchmen with a knife in hand?The man killed as if possessed, leaving no one alive. Even Richard, who had

The person who once suggested revoking Richard’s citizenship stood tall, laughing loudly as he responded to Clifford’s words. “Sir, what do you mean now? Are you blaming all of us?”“What do you mean by spreading the news? Isn’t that the truth that should be told to everyone? Or do you want to wait until Mr. Griffin finds out that we’ve been secretly protecting Richard?”Clifford furrowed his brows and looked at the man in disbelief. The man speaking was Brandy, the deputy head of the central headquarters. Typically, he was the one making decisions on both minor and major matters at the headquarters.He only stepped in when it involved critical situations concerning the nation. Beyond that, he was the most influential decision-maker.But what was happening now? The man seemed to have no respect for him at all!Bang!Clifford slammed the table again, shouting, “What do you mean?! What do you mean by secretly protecting Richard? Don’t you understand how much Richard has done for all of

Slap!The sound of a loud slap echoed again.Slap!And for the third time in a row, Elena’s cheek was slapped, making her unable to think clearly.Even though Ravenna hadn’t used her hand to slap, the imprint of a red handprint was visible on Elena’s cheek, causing it to swell slightly. Meanwhile, Ashren, who was sitting on the sofa, looked shocked when he saw the handprint on the woman’s face.He cast a worried glance at Ravenna, fearing that Elena would retaliate.“If you say one more word, I could cut your tongue off,” Ravenna said flatly and calmly, but her voice was firm.Elena bit back her frustration, especially when Richard, who had just come out of the kitchen with food he had prepared, noticed the clear red handprint on her cheek.Richard automatically shot a quick glance at Ravenna and then asked Elena, “What happened to your face? Who slapped you?”“She did!” Elena accused, pointing at Ravenna, continuing, “I told you, I think she’s getting closer to you for a reason. Then

What Zena said was true. But would that statement be enough to shake Richard? And if it does, would Dharia allow Richard to disguise himself as Ravenna’s student?“Disguise?” Richard muttered, gazing at Zena deeply.Zena nodded and said, “Yes, Sir. Just look at how the person willing to go through the trouble of coming here just to find their student, proving that this student is important to them. If you meet them later, try to give them more attention. Maybe they’ll think you are his student and take you to that place.”“This is the only way to make them show up. If not, there’s no one who can help Dr. Fenrick’s child. On top of that, Mr. Arthur over there will...” Zena trailed off, not continuing.She lowered her gaze to avoid Richard’s stare, knowing he would likely agree for Aurora’s sake. If he did, it was highly probable that he would die at that mysterious place! Because this student seemed to be very cherished by that person, while Richard was boldly disguising himself as thi
