The sentence struck everyone’s ears like a thunderclap. Even Dharia’s heart began to beat erratically, almost unconsciously.She stared at Richard in front of her, suddenly feeling that the man had become very alien to her. Since when had he stopped being a compliant person who would just agree with everyone’s requests?Since when had he stopped being someone who wouldn’t fight back no matter how much he was insulted? Since when had he stopped being a poor person who couldn’t even afford to eat in a restaurant?“Richard,” Dharia said. “He hasn’t done anything wrong. There are limits to everything. Besides, he’s my friend. Please watch your attitude.”Dharia felt deeply uncomfortable. Especially when she saw Richard protect Aurora so fiercely and Franco show such respect to Richard. The sight was deeply disturbing to her.“Aurora, just hit him,” Richard said softly to Aurora, completely ignoring Dharia’s words.When Dharia realized Richard was ignoring her, she was instantly enraged.

[Special Forces - D]Richard held a small wooden box, no bigger than half the size of his palm. He slipped it into his pocket.The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. The humble and quiet demeanor in his eyes was immediately replaced by an aura of someone who was bloodthirsty. He stared straight ahead and said quietly, “Special Forces team. War god with the codename D-111ML0219. A very, very familiar code. It’s been three years. After retreating for three years, just as I promised. I have returned.”Three years ago, a million enemy troops invaded Rio Dio Country. The headquarters of Rio Dio Country dispatched a force of five hundred thousand to hold off the attack. Unfortunately, the entire force was annihilated by the enemy.Just as the headquarters of Rio Dio Country was about to collapse, the leader of the special forces left with ninety team members. They successfully crippled all the enemies. They immediately attacked the enemy base camp.Within a single short night, explosion

It contained only a single line that read, “Help! Eastern part of the underground trading market.”Who wouldn’t understand what would happen after reading such a message? Without wasting a moment, he slammed the gas pedal and drove towards Aurora’s location.“Damn it! How dare they! What kind of nerve does it take to kidnap someone I’m protecting?” Richard cursed as he steered his car.His eyes once again revealed a blaze of emotion that hadn’t appeared in three years. That look was one only ever seen in someone from Rio Dio Country, a warlord famously known throughout the land at that time!At the same time, but in a different location, around three muscular men armed with large knives and iron rods stood. Each of them stared intently at the iron door in front of them, as if waiting for someone to willingly hand over their life.The sight alone would make anyone who saw it run away in fear. Aurora was locked in a basement, right in the middle of the stage located in the center of th

The place where Richard stood now was the same place he had stood five years ago. Captain Dwayne had returned here to face his opponent once more and claim his victory!Richard swung the knife in his hand, sending it straight into the path of the bullet that had been flying through the air, hitting its target and causing it to fall and roll on the floor!But it didn’t end there; the man spun around and then aimed his knife directly at the head of the head of manager. A moment later, the sound of blood spurting out and the tearing of flesh from the knife’s slash could be heard.“You…” The head manager stared at Richard with wide eyes and spoke in a faltering voice, “Y-You… h-how can you…”THUD!The man’s body fell, crashing to the ground with his eyes wide open.Silence filled the entire underground room. No one dared to speak after witnessing the recent events. Meanwhile, the mafia boss could only shake his head in disbelief as he saw the man’s lifeless body lying on the ground.He re

Richard’s disappearance over the past three years led many people to quietly work towards defeating him. Mario’s suspicion of Raylon was quite normal and human due to the fear rising within him.Some of the people present started glaring at Elvan, who was unconscious, with cynical, squinting eyes. “Don’t tell him what happened today. Don’t mention that the person Elvan was supposed to kill is Cap Dwayne. Let’s wait and see what he does until Aurora’s birthday celebration and how he reacts.”“This fool, let’s just leave him here!” Mario and several others decided to leave Elvan, who was unconscious, all alone.Moments after their departure, Elvan winced in pain as if his whole body had been run over by a truck. He blinked a few times, regained consciousness, and found himself lying in the corridor on the second floor. He recalled what had happened, then quickly turned his head to observe his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief.“They’re gone, and I’m still alive,” the man mumbl
