"Meeting me for the first time doesn’t count as lucky," Ricard said calmly but with confidence and pride in his voice. "If you get to see me a second time, then you can consider yourself lucky.""I understand!" The old man nodded. "The Living King of Hell saves people without accepting money or gifts, only fate. If I meet you again, it means you will save me, right?""Perhaps," Ricard patted the old man's shoulder again and left him with a parting comment, "This meeting could be considered fate, but whether we meet again remains to be seen."Ricard's voice grew fainter as he walked away. The old man watched his retreating figure until Ricard disappeared from view. He sighed, having no doubts about Ricard’s words. His old friend had once told him that only a handful of people in the world could diagnose his condition just by looking."I never thought the Living King of Hell would be so young!" the old man mused, thinking of the young man he had just met. He then considered his own gran

At that moment, Ricard stood with his bare left foot on the floor, his slipper lying under Karl's foot, indicating where the slap had come from.Karl held his face, feeling the stinging pain. He looked at Ricard in disbelief, his voice trembling, "You hit me! How dare you hit me!""Slap! Slap!"Two more crisp slaps answered Karl."Apologize now, or next time it’ll be three slaps, and I’ll keep adding until I beat you to death."Ricard's voice was gentle, as if he were discussing something trivial, but there was an undeniable firmness in his tone that made it clear he meant what he said.Ricard's actions left everyone in the living room, including Jeannie, dumbfounded. No one expected him to react this way. Despite being insulted and belittled, he had responded with a smile. No one anticipated this sudden shift.Daniel, who had been about to say something, swallowed his words and watched the scene unfold with a smirk, enjoying the drama.Cousin Belle gave Ricard an intrigued glance.Ka

"Chairman Demneri, rest assured, no matter what, I will stand by you," Ricard said."I hope so."The heavy rain abruptly stopped, and the sun appeared suddenly. Summer rainstorms could feel like time intertwined, as if the earlier gloom only mirrored someone’s mood.Jeannie drove Ricard back home. As soon as they entered, they saw Milan, who had been out since early morning, excitedly running over."What’s made you so happy?" Jeannie smiled."The concert, Jeannie! I managed to get three tickets. It’s for Pajif’s global tour, which is in Mozzafiato now! It was tough getting these three tickets!" Milan waved the tickets in front of Jeannie."Oh my God! How did you get them? I thought they were sold out months ago!" Jeannie was thrilled. She loved art and music and often attended exhibitions and concerts during her college days."Hehe, it’s a secret!" Milan stuck her tongue out playfully at Jeannie. "So, interested in going? Didn’t you say Ricard is also very knowledgeable about music? H

Just as Ricard was about to break free, the iron door of the interrogation room was kicked open with a loud bang.A middle-aged man in a police uniform, with a large belly and a square face, stormed into the room and shouted, "Liam, what are you doing? Let go of him!"Liam's fist stopped just five centimeters from Ricard's face. He could even feel the wind from her punch."Chief," Liam turned to the middle-aged man and lowered her head."You're out of line!" the chief yelled. "Who authorized you to use violence? Write a report for me! This man is innocent. Release him immediately!""The rest of them too," the female officer said, pointing to the six burly men on the ground. "Lock them all up and interrogate them thoroughly!"At the Mozzafiato City Police Department.Ricard was forced to lean back in the interrogation chair, the glaring light above shining into his face, making him squint. Around him were cold, black walls devoid of any warmth or life, designed to instill fear in anyon

The grand hotel in Mozzafiato city is located in the city center, a seven-story building, with each floor lavishly decorated. The spacious parking lot is filled with over 70% supercars, each worth more than half a million.A bright red Mercedes GT pulled in, and the moment the door opened, it captured everyone's attention. Two girls stepped out, each with a completely different style but equally captivating. The girl from the driver's seat had long, flowing black hair, silky and smooth, without any makeup but still flawless.Jeannie wore a sky-blue long dress, her fair wrist adorned with a white gold bracelet, sparkling with two diamonds. A silver necklace around her neck accentuated her fair and delicate neck.Jeannie's presence was destined to be the main attraction, drawing everyone's eyes."Jeannie, you're here!" A cheerful voice called out. A tall, 1.8-meter young man, with a handsome face and wearing an Armani suit, strode towards Jeannie, his eyes full of admiration."Jordanne,

"He's been waiting inside for a while. Originally, he was supposed to play thirteen pieces today, but when he heard you were coming, he ran out to the entrance at every break. He’s only played four pieces so far. Your Majesty, are you planning to perform today, since you're dressed so formally?" the young man asked curiously."Yes," Ricard nodded.The Mozzafiato Theater, with 3,778 seats, was packed. Although Master Pajif had only played four pieces in two hours, the audience felt it was worth it.Jeannie and Milan sat in the third row. The dim stage lighting created an enchanting atmosphere.Elegant music played.Milan looked mesmerized, "Jeannie, do you remember when we were in college, lying on the grass, talking about our dreams?""Of course, I remember," Jeannie nodded, her eyes showing nostalgia. "Back then, we both loved music. I said I hoped that one day the person I love the most would play a special piece for me at a concert."Jeannie spoke with a hint of sadness in her eyes

Jordanne sat not far from Jeannie, his face flushed with anger. The scene he had meticulously planned was ruined by that man. That must be Jeannie's husband! If it weren't for him, tomorrow's headlines would surely be about the private life of the Demneri chairman. The Demneri Group's stock would be affected, but now, everything was wasted because of him!"Well, I thought you were some sort of prince charming, but she's already married. You're just a third wheel who doesn't understand your place. Look at how her husband expressed his love and compare it to your disgusting proposal. It's revolting!" a girl sitting behind Jordanne said with disdain.Jordanne glared at the girl but said nothing. He had indeed lost face today.After Ricard finally arrived, Master Pajif resumed his performance, giving it his all to impress the musical deity in his heart.The beautiful melodies and dazzling techniques satisfied everyone.As Master Pajif's concert reached its conclusion, Jeannie and Milan we

"Since yesterday, there's been news in the underworld that someone's investigating us. I wondered who it was. Turns out it's you."It was a male voice, carrying a hint of cold laughter."Some people really can't wait, even for a moment," Jeannie muttered as she threw the documents into the trash can and leaned back in her chair. "Go tell those who want to stop cooperating that from now on, no matter how Demneri develops, we will never accept cooperation with them again. Also, inform everyone else that if they want to sever ties with us, they should do it soon!""Yes," Serena nodded and left the office.In the vast office of the Demneri Group's chairman, Jeannie was left alone. A self-deprecating smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Is this what they call family, using such ruthless tactics?"Ricard stood at the gate of the Fantasma orphanage, sending a location update to Liam before entering."Brother Ricard, you're here!"Ricard had just stepped in when two little boys ran up to hi

The sudden incident left Jeannie terrified. Even after the bicycle was hit, she hadn’t recovered.Ricard comforted Jeannie and then angrily walked to the driver's seat of the BMW, shouting, "What kind of driving is this? Didn’t you see the red light?""What's the rush? What's the rush?" The car door opened, and the young man stepped out slowly, "I didn't hit anyone. Just compensate you, right? How much do you want? Three thousand yuan enough?"The young man pulled out three thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it on the car's hood. Before Ricard could respond, he added another three thousand: "If it's not enough, here’s six thousand, okay?"Ricard took a deep breath, "This is not about money. I need your attitude, apologize to us!""Apologize? You must be joking. I didn't hit you. You just want money, right? Fine, here's ten thousand yuan. Is that enough?" The young man threw another stack of money on the hood.He then glanced at Jeannie, trying to gauge her reaction, but she didn'

The staff's words made Jeannie unconsciously look at Ricard.Although they had registered their marriage more than a month ago and even took wedding photos, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Now, suddenly being called Ricard's girlfriend, Jeannie's heart skipped a beat, and even the tension of the impending bungee jump was pushed aside."Hey, man, come here. What are you hiding from? Your girlfriend dares to jump, and you're hiding behind her. Come and hold her tightly." The staff urged, waving at Ricard.Of course, Ricard didn't refuse the staff's suggestion to jump while holding Jeannie, cheerfully running over.Jeannie looked at Ricard in front of her, seeming a bit hesitant: "Didn't we buy two separate tickets? Can't we jump one at a time?""That's right, a couple's ticket. Come here and stand firm, put on the equipment, and don't mess around." The staff said while fitting the equipment on Jeannie and Ricard. The eighty-meter-high jump platform had a hot wind blowing in

“Sure.” Ricard didn't hesitate to hand the Coca-Cola to Jeannie.Jeannie looked at the dark carbonated drink in her hand. There were many things she always wanted to try: singing wildly, acting cute like other girls, playing with social media apps, buying her favorite snacks. But due to her family's strict upbringing, she never did anything too extreme. She never went to karaoke to sing loudly, never bought a pile of snacks, never bought a bunch of cold drinks in the summer. She always maintained a calm and mature demeanor, drinking a hot cup of tea at the company every day. Sometimes she would see others with a cold drink and feel a desire to take a sip, but she feared that doing so would shatter the dignified image she had built in front of her employees. Although she appeared to have many things, she had never experienced things that were easily within reach for ordinary people.Like Coca-Cola. When she was young, her family didn't let her touch these carbonated drinks. As she grew

For Ricard, physical endurance wasn’t an issue. Cycling seventy kilometers, even carrying Jeannie, was no problem for him. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making the time fly by.Two hours passed unnoticed. The midday sun blazed overhead, heating the road. Ricard cycled along the highway, enjoying occasional shade from roadside trees."President Demneri, are you thirsty? I’ll buy us some drinks." Ricard stopped at a roadside stall, buying two cold Coca-Colas."Why Coca-Cola?" Jeannie asked, puzzled.“For the refreshing taste.” Ricard took a gulp, letting out a satisfied “Ah.”“I’ll have water instead.” Jeannie placed the Coke on the counter, opting for a bottle of mineral water.Ricard gallantly opened the bottle for her, and Jeannie took small sips.Ricard could tell Jeannie was very thirsty, but she still drank slowly, a habit from childhood.“Alright, let’s go. Only twenty kilometers left. If I speed up, we can reach Haihu soon and enjoy the afternoon there.”Ricard resume

Ricard heard the cheers and smiled, looking at the woman standing at the microphone with pride. This was his wife, capable and talented! With a few short sentences, she had inspired everyone’s enthusiasm. The employees' attitude towards work could indeed shape the future development of the company.Irena, who had just been fired, had packed her belongings and quietly left through the side entrance of the company. Seeing Maria with a large rose pinned to her chest, standing at the front of the company and receiving praise, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had heard everything Jeannie said over the microphone. Five hundred thousand, even split between two, was still two hundred and fifty thousand each! Why should Maria get that money?Irena glared at the company's main entrance with resentment. If it weren’t for Maria and that damned new hire, today’s events wouldn't have involved her!Irena took a deep breath, trying to console herself. Even if Maria got two hundred and fifty

Jeannie chuckled lightly. "In the end, you're still trying to comfort me, but in your own unique way.""Am I? Ha ha." Ricard laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. "Sit down." Jeannie gestured to Ricard.Ricard did not stand on ceremony, sprawling comfortably on the sofa.Jeannie poured him a cup of tea, an unprecedented gesture from her. This act made Ricard feel both pampered and uneasy. "No, no!" Ricard quickly stopped her."What's the matter? Are you mocking me?" Jeannie shot Ricard a sharp look. "A man who can easily get the head of the largest corporation in France to come to Supperazza to sign a contract can’t accept a cup of tea from me?"Ricard gave a wry smile. Initially, he hadn't planned to let Jeannie know about Eugene, but with today's events, including Prince Charles’s presence, there was no way to keep it hidden.After pouring the tea, Jeannie sat down opposite Ricard, lightly rubbing her forehead. "As usual, explain.""Ah… I saved Eugene’s life once, and since then he’s
Spin-off 4: Ricard (117)
When Eugene heard that Jeannie was Ricard's wife, his expression immediately turned respectful. "Lovely lady, forgive me for saying, but you truly are the most beautiful angel I've ever met.""Uncle Eugene is the manager of the Zefiro Group, the largest financial group in France," Prince Charles reintroduced Eugene to Jeannie.Although Prince Charles didn't use flowery language or mention astronomical wealth, saying it was the largest in France was enough for Jeannie to understand the significance of the old man standing before her. A man like this could hardly be someone Ricard found to collude in defrauding the company.Outside the reception room, Naccy and her group waited for the outcome.Jeannie quickly exited the reception room, and they all looked at her, awaiting a response.Jeannie scanned the group and spoke, "Director Naccy, this has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Eugene is indeed the partner Ricard found.""How can that be?" Naccy's first reaction was disbelief. How could so

"Mr. Eugene, please wait. I'll go get Ricard.""No need," Eugene called Maria back. "Ricard entrusted this deal to me. If you don't sign it, I'll refuse to cooperate.""What?""Girl, how your company distributes the bonus between you and Ricard is none of my business. You can discuss it with your boss later. For now, go get the contract."The sudden success of the deal and the enormous bonus were overwhelming for Maria. It took her a while to process it.As Maria left the reception room to get the contract, her face still showed signs of disbelief.Everyone in the business department saw Maria's expression. When she left the reception room, they all started talking."What's wrong? Couldn't close the deal?""She looks like she failed.""She's a rookie trying to handle a deal herself. What did you expect?"Kristy and others showed disdain. "No," Maria waved her hands. "The deal is done. The client agreed to sign the contract.""Signed?" Kristy's eyes widened in disbelief. She knew the v
Spin-off 4: Ricard (115)
"Three... hundred thousand?" Maria's eyes glazed over at the number. Her family was ordinary, and her parents had worked hard their whole lives without saving that much money. Three hundred thousand was enough to buy a house in Supperazza, enough for someone unemployed to live comfortably for years, or to buy a BMW. For Maria, three hundred thousand was an unimaginable fortune.Hearing Eugene say that this deal alone could yield a bonus of three hundred thousand made Maria feel like she was dreaming. "Girl, so, will you sign the contract, or do I need to call Ricard?"Maria swallowed hard, stammering, "I... I..."Hearing Maria's response, Eugene felt a bit disappointed. He understood that three hundred thousand might not mean much to him, but it could change an ordinary person's life. With three hundred thousand, they could buy a big house, a luxury car."I... I need to call Ricard and ask him to treat me to a good meal. Three hundred thousand is a lot! Mr. Eugene, please wait a momen
