"Oh, a family man, huh? You two are about to die, so don’t sweat the small stuff," the man in the suit said leisurely, not in a hurry to act. It was his habit to enjoy his target’s reaction before killing them, although he had never seen this particular reaction before."I told you to put out the cigarette!" Ricard emphasized again, stepping towards the man in the suit."What if I say no?" The suited man laughed and took another deep drag.Nicklas sat on a genuine leather sofa in the office, drinking premium black tea brewed by Secretary Croes. This type of tea could reduce belly fat and was extremely popular among women.At the same time, Nicklas's personal documents had been prepared by Serena and placed in front of Jeannie.Nicklas, twenty-three years old, had won the provincial women's close combat championship at eighteen. After serving in the army, she joined the female special forces unit, completing seventeen missions in five years. She had twice received first-class individua

"Madness!" The man in the suit knelt on the ground, "I admit, you're strong, I'm no match for you. But do you really think you can take on all Thirteen Shadows? How many people in the world can say such a thing?""Not many, but I'm one of them," Ricard's tone was calm."Where do you get that confidence? Just because you can defeat me?" The man in the suit sneered."Because of this," Ricard pulled out a dark gold ring from his pocket, raising an eyebrow, "Is this enough?"The moment he saw the ring, the man in the suit's pupils contracted sharply, and his voice trembled, "The... the Holy Ring! It's you! I can't believe it's you!"The man in the suit's body trembled uncontrollably. Even when he mentioned death earlier, he hadn't shown such a weak demeanor."So, do you believe me now?" Ricard put the ring back in his pocket and looked at the man in the suit."I can't believe I have the luck to fight Satan himself," the man in the suit laughed bitterly. "Fine, I'll tell you who hired me,

To maintain an authentic French style, all the waiters in this French restaurant were French. Customers and waiters communicated in English, and the menu had both English and French descriptions.Andrie leaned back in his chair, took the menu from the waiter, and gave Ricard a disdainful look before starting to order in a mix of English and French.French is a language few people know, as it’s not as widespread as English. Andrie’s mix of English and French might have seemed sophisticated to those who didn’t understand it, but to Ricard, it was clearly laughable.It was like a foreigner coming to Mozzafiato for the first time, not understanding a word of the local language, and using both hands and feet to try to communicate, occasionally saying something in broken local dialect, but still thinking they were being very clear and confident.The waiter was clearly used to customers like Andrie, smiling and managing to figure out what he wanted from his broken French.During the ordering

Jeannie was pleased to see that Ricard’s every action was deliberately provoking Andrie and his mother, making her realize that he wasn’t as bad as she thought.Mr. David Demneri and Andrie's father didn’t say much, ending the meal with a brief farewell.On the way home, Jeannie’s attitude toward Ricard had softened a bit. She glanced at Ricard, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "How do you know French? It’s not a common language. Also, French dining etiquette is rare and not something many people would study."Ricard grinned, "I used to work as a waiter in a French restaurant, so I picked up a few things. I only said all that because that guy was so annoying."Jeannie nodded without saying anything else. Ricard’s knowledge of French surprised her, but his explanation made sense.When they arrived back at the villa, Ricard saw Nicklas installing some security systems. He now knew that Nicklas was Jeannie's bodyguard.Jeannie sat on the sofa, her slender hand resting on her forehe

"Little Ricard, it won’t help," the director shook her head."Director, how do you know if we don’t try?" Ricard smiled confidently at her.As Ricard walked towards the gate, he heard a heated argument."Miss Lisbeth, you might be crazy, but we’re not. Why would we pass up a pile of money? Whether those orphans live or die is none of our concern. Blame their lowly status! Maybe living near a chemical plant will create a bunch of mutants like in the movies, ha ha ha!" A man’s mocking voice rang out.Lisbeth, shaking with anger, retorted, "You people are heartless! Two years ago, this land was approved for development, but everyone left this place untouched except you! You’ll get your comeuppance for this!""Ha ha ha, I’d rather make money and go to hell. Miss Lisbeth, if you don’t want to make money, don’t stop us. In a few days, the government order will come, and this place will be demolished.""I don’t know about demolition in a few days, but I know if you don’t leave in ten seconds

The joyful expression on Jeannie’s face immediately vanished when she saw Ricard.Oh no, I forgot to tell him not to come back tonight! What should I do now? Won't my lies be exposed in front of her?Jeannie’s face turned slightly grim as she stood up from the table and walked toward Ricard.Seeing Jeannie’s pale expression, Ricard asked with concern, “Chairman Demneri, are you feeling unwell?”“No!” Jeannie whispered seriously to Ricard, then naturally took his arm. “And don’t call me Chairman Demneri. I told that girl you’re an artist who met me at an art exhibition, remember?”Ricard was delighted to hear this.“What are you laughing at?” Jeannie pinched the soft flesh of Ricard's arm, her beautiful big eyes full of warning. “No laughing! And don’t expose me, or you’re dead!”“OK, OK!” Ricard quickly pleaded, making a gesture of surrender. “Jeannie, rest assured, I definitely won’t expose you.”Hearing Ricard’s words, Jeannie’s expression improved significantly, and her face even s

Milan’s eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at Ricard.Jeannie, with her greasy little hands, pulled Ricard’s arm, trying to signal him with her eyes at an angle Milan couldn’t see. “Ricard, just ignore her.”"I say, my dear chairman, are you tricking me?" Milan put on a face that said she wasn’t easy to deceive."Of course not!" Jeannie looked slightly anxious. "We... we are...""We met at the master Firge’s exhibition," Ricard said, picking up an oyster and placing the complete piece of oyster meat on the plate in front of Jeannie. He continued, "At that time, Master Firge held an exhibition in Nugaru city. Jeannie and I were both fascinated by his painting 'Morning Breakfast,' and we had different interpretations of it. I remember Jeannie said she was drawn to the serene feeling in the painting, the gentle strokes that brought her peace, while I admired the emotions expressed in the eyes of the two characters. That’s how we got to know each other. Of course, the piece 'Green

"Alright, alright," Ricard nodded. He had already anticipated all the results reported in the news when he discussed the plan with Lisbeth this morning.Milan finished organizing her things, sat down beside Jeannie wearing a short-sleeved pink shirt, and watched TV with her, chatting about makeup, bags, and other topics.Ricard, wearing a white tank top, brought a basin of warm water over and placed it at Jeannie's feet. He squatted down, "Jeannie, it’s time to wash your feet.""Wash my feet? Jeannie, does Ricard even wash your feet?" Milan’s eyes widened as if witnessing something incredible. In today's society, it was rare to see men wash women's feet, and it seemed Ricard did this daily.Jeannie frowned, "Not today.""No," Ricard shook his head, his eyes firm. "You must. Your chronic condition still needs a few more acupressure sessions to fully alleviate."Hearing about her chronic condition, Jeannie's face turned red, feeling a bit awkward. She hadn’t had menstrual cramps for the

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
Spin-off 4: Ricard (116)
"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

"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
