2024-11-04 15:29:06When the system declared Richard the winner, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.
They couldn’t believe their ears or eyes. "How can a loser who barely knows the game win?" someone blurted out. Shock rippled through the room. Everyone had expected Richard to lose. After all, Carter was the highest-ranked player in Vantican! How could a newbie win him? Impossible! "There must be a mistake, right?" another person muttered. As Richard exited the room, with Melissa following him, people noticed something unusual—his gaming suit. It’s the latest, most expensive gaming suit, equipped with AI assistance. A newbie could become a master by activating the AI. Originally designed for military use in war, it’s now a game-changer in the virtual world. Seeing that super expensive gaming suit for the first time, their surprise quickly turned to anger. "You cheated! That suit must’ve boosted your fighting skills," someone shouted. "Yeah, no way a newbie could win without cheating," another voice chimed in. "He’s just a newbie. Miss Melissa must have rigged the suit for him." Accusations flew at Richard. Melissa felt she had to clear the accusation and stepped up. "Listen, although his suit has AI assistance’s function, Sir Richard here won with just his skill." The whole hall fell silent, then exploded in laughter. “Hahaha...” “Melissa must be joking!” "If you don’t believe me," Melissa added, "I can replay everything for you to see." "No need," Carter said as he approached. "Let him enjoy his little victory. I let him win this time with his AI-assisted suit, but I’ll demand a rematch when he’s learned not to use that suit." "Oh, so chivalrous, Carter," someone quipped. "So gentlemanly." “You are the best Carter,” Laura sneered, "Not like someone clearly using cheats but doesn’t dare to admit it." "Melissa," someone asked, "why did you let him use that expensive suit? I heard it’s only for special top members. I never see anyone on Vantican use it." Everyone looked at her with interest while Melissa, unable to tell the truth, came up with an excuse. "Mr. Richard here is the 10,000,000th lucky visitor of the Noble Knight Club. And he won the special top member card. Please treat him kindly, okay?" "Tch, what a lucky bastard." "Even a dog has its day." "Carter, how about you both fight again, and I’ll change Mr. Richard’s suit to a normal one?" Melissa asked. "No, I’ve got better things to do," Carter replied. "Tonight’s the Aaron Windsor banquet. I don’t have time for this clown. Let him learn first." Carter feared another defeat; only he knew Richard had used five times gravity while fighting. Even if Richard used AI support, Carter would have received a notification for fairness. And he really didn’t use that. Carter shot Richard a look. "You won’t hold onto that victory for long. I’ll see you in the next fight." "Anytime you want," Richard replied. "But I’m not here to bully kids." “Don’t forget the mansion, though.” Richard reminded casually. Carter’s face darkened and looked so unpleasant that it was as if he had been forced to swallow a full mouth of shit. Just then, Sabrina cut in. "Shut up! When people show you kindness, don’t boast. You’re only making yourself look worse." Carter, buoyed by Sabrina’s support, smiled. "Yeah, it’s best if he just shuts up. Sabrina, we’ve got a banquet to get to. Care to join me?" "Really?" Sabrina asked, her eyes wide. "My father told me Mr. Aaron Windsor is making a banquet to welcome a high-ranking guest tonight." Carter announced, loud enough for all to hear. The mention of Aaron Windsor, Vantican’s richest man, filled the room with envy. If only they could attend the banquet, they might secure their future with high-ranking connections. To become rich, it’s all about connections. Laura asked, "Can I come too?" "Sorry, Laura, it’s invite-only. Maybe next time," Carter replied. Laura’s face fell. The Windsor banquet was the most sought-after event in the city, and invitations were rare. "Do you know who Mr. Windsor is welcoming?" "No idea, but it’s supposed to be someone very important." "Damn, I really want to join the banquet!" Melissa glanced at Richard. There was a possibility Richard was the guest, as there had never been a top member in Vantican’s Club for the five years she’d been here. Richard looked at her. "Please teach me how to use this suit for training?" They busied themselves while Sabrina tried to show gratitude to Carter. "Thank you, Carter. You’re such a help to me and my family." Laura chimed in, "Yeah, Carter is kind. Not like some loser who scams people with get-rich-quick schemes." Sabrina, Carter, and Laura all glanced at Richard, making their point clear. They had brought the loser here to make him feel out of place, but it turned out he became the top member, which was really frustrating. "The banquet’s tonight. We need to get ready," Sabrina said. "I’ll make sure to look my best. Maybe the important guest will notice me." Richard was still learning the ins and outs of the suit from Melissa when he overheard them talking about the banquet. "Fair plan," he said. "But how do you know the banquet’s even happening?" Carter scoffed, "Do you even know what you’re talking about? Stop embarrassing yourself." "Believe what you want," Richard said. "But the guest of honor isn’t coming. What’s a banquet without him?" Laura sneered, "Do you even know who this important person is?" Richard smirked. "Yeah. It’s me."

What the fuck?!!!"Here comes the king of braggarts again! Can’t you just stop boasting?" Sabrina scoffed. "You’re only embarrassing yourself!"One of Carter's friends called out. “Hey dude, the banquet’s off. Know why? Because I wasn't invited, so they cancelled the whole thing.”His tone was so amusing that everyone burst out laughing.He sneered at Richard, “Boo! Shame on you, man! Trying to act like you know something.”“Listen, Richard, whatever you’re trying to pull, we’re not buying it,” Laura said.Richard knew hardly anyone would believe him, but he tried to tell his wife anyway. It was up to her whether to believe him or not.Suddenly, Carter’s smart wrist device buzzed.“Hey, silence please,” Carter asked the group and shot a smug look at Richard. “My dad’s calling. Probably about the banquet.”The room went quiet as Carter switched on the speaker.They pricked up their ears to the latest news of the banquet while looking at Richard with a sarcastic expression.“Father

However, before Richard replied, his phone rang suddenly, catching everyone’s attention. He glanced at the screen and moved to a corner to take the call.A few others glanced over, and one burst into laughter."You guys won’t believe this,” someone said, chuckling. “That dude’s trying to scam all of us. Guess who just called him? Aaron Windsor! Can you believe that?”“For real? He went that far? Thank God we know he's just a king of scum.”Richard answered the call, his voice low and serious.“I’m sorry to disturb you, young master. My daughter's condition suddenly worsened,” Aaron Windsor’s desperate voice came through the speaker.“I don’t know what else to do except to ask for your help,” the voice continued, trembling with worry.“Pick me up. I’m at the Noble Knight Club.”“Yes, sure! Thank you very much, young master. I really appreciate your kindness. I’ll send someone to pick you up right now.”Richard ended the call and turned to Melissa.“I’m sorry, but I have to decline yo

A few minutes after Richard arrived at Windsor's mansion, the old butler, already waiting at the entrance, greeted him."Respected Sir Richard, Master Aaron asks for forgiveness as he has not returned home yet. He asked me to guide you in checking Miss Jillian’s condition.""No problem, take me to her," Richard replied.The butler led Richard through the luxury long hallways. As they approached Jillian's room, a sharp, sterile medical smell filled the air.An older woman was already pacing back and forth there anxiously.Upon seeing Richard, she immediately turned and rushed to him.It was Jillian Windsor’s mother, Julia Windsor."Doctor, please help my daughter!" Julia pleaded desperately.“Calm down. No need to worry."Richard saw a young woman lying still on the bed, her breathing shallow and labored.She appeared to be in her early twenties, her once-beautiful features now overshadowed by a sickly pallor.Her face was ashen, her body trembling uncontrollably, and tears clung to h

Dr. Jacob added.“Young lad, it’s fine if you lack ability, but you’d better not speak recklessly. Not only does it make you look foolish, but it also delays others.”“Doctor Jacob, please treat my sister. Don’t listen to this bastard.” Caleb snarled, pushing Richard away.“Who is this young man, anyway?”Caleb looked at Richard with great disdain.“Never mind, Doctor Jacob. He is just a scammer who scammed my father.”“You’re wrong. I came because Aaron asked me.” Richard calmly said, “By the way, do you want me to treat her or not?”Julia hesitated, torn between her husband’s wishes and Jillian’s condition.She glanced between Dr. Jacob, who had treated many famous people, and the young man barely older than Jillian.“You are still young,” she spoke. “Let Doctor Jacob treat my daughter.”“You heard my Mom, right?” Caleb said. “Now fuck off so Doctor Jacob can start.”“Go ahead then,” Richard coldly stated.Dr. Jacob sneered. "Listen, young man. If you think you can use me as a ste

At the mansion entrance, the butler bowed to Richard, his posture respectful.“I’m sorry for your trouble. Please, don’t take it to heart.”“No worries,” Richard replied.Suddenly, two bodyguards rushed out.“Stop there and follow us back to the room, or we’ll shoot,” one barked, their hands reaching for their weapons.Without hesitation, the butler struck both bodyguards across the face.They staggered back, stunned.“Fools,” the butler growled.“This young man is Mr. Windsor’s guest. Mind your words, or I’ll kill you both.”The bodyguards turned even paler.They had never seen the butler this angry and didn’t even realize how they were struck.They had heard the butler was once a feared assassin.“We... we’re sorry,” one of the bodyguards stammered.“But Miss Jillian’s condition is critical, and Dr. Jacob said this man poisoned her.”The butler’s eyes narrowed, his voice icy. “So, that idiot made a mistake and now wants to blame someone else?”He turned to Richard and bowed deeply,

When Dr. Jacob and Caleb were still trying to understand the situation, they were already taken out by the butler outside the room.“Butler!” Caleb wanted to protest.Yet, the butler cut him off, “Young master, you better prepare what you will say to your father. He is already on his way here.”Caleb turned pale.Inside the room, Richard, without hesitation, cut away Jillian’s clothes, leaving her naked.This time, he didn’t ask for any permission from Julia anymore, as Jillian’s condition was already critical.He put Jillian in the bathtub and then took out nine acupuncture needles.As Richard flicked his hand, the needles seemed to find the points by themselves and landed on Jillian’s body with precision.The water in the bathtub turned visibly murky brown and foul-smelling at an alarming rate.It was as if the toxins from Jillian were rapidly being expelled from her body and neutralized by the chemicals in the bathtub.Richard pour another palm of ingredients into the bathtub.The

Previously, Aaron rushed to his mansion happily as he had just received the news that his daughter had finally been cured.He was grateful for Master Richard’s help and was already considering what gift to give as thanks.Yet, as soon as he reached home, the first thing he saw was his son audaciously yelling at the guard to hit the young master.Cold sweat broke out on Aaron's brow, and his heart seemed to freeze.The young master only needed to cough a bit, and the whole Windsor Group in Vantican would be replaced by others at his whim."You fool!" enraged with fear, he kicked Caleb to the ground.Meanwhile, the butler hastily rushed to Aaron to explain everything in a low voice.Julia and Dr. Jacob, who heard Aaron shouting, walked out of the room to check what had happened."Father, why kick me? It’s this man who showed disrespect to me…"Without a word, Aaron struck Caleb across the face before he could finish.Two of Caleb's teeth fell to the floor.Julia gasped in shock.This wa

“Father,” Jillian walked out of the room, and Aaron hastily rushed to her side. “Minnie, you are still unwell, rest first.”“It’s okay, Father,” Jillian smiled. “I’ve never felt so energetic like this for so long.”“Minnie,” Aaron felt truly joyful. “Come, let’s say thanks to your doctor.”Jillian stepped forward, blushing shyly. “Thank you for healing me.”“You’re welcome.”Aaron took out two sets of keys and respectfully handed them to Richard.One set was the key to the limited edition of the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which was worth $ 20 million.The other set was the key to a mansion, which was worth $ 500 million.Richard had rejected them once, but now Aaron thought it was the right time.“This is a small token of thanks. I know it’s nothing much to you, but please accept it. I hope you don’t find it lacking.”Julia and Caleb were once again stunned by the scene.The amount was far beyond the usual consultation fee.And Aaron was showing an excessive level of

Faced with Sabrina's doubts, Aaron remained motionless. He nodded, his gaze unwavering.“It was thanks to Richard’s efforts—his connections, his work—that Sabrina was given the opportunity to be here today.”“I am personally grateful to him. After all, he’s the one who saved my daughter when she was gravely ill.”The crowd gasped. Whispers spread like wildfire.“Who exactly is this Richard?” “Richard? Never heard of that name before…” “Carter just got publicly humiliated by Mr. Windsor…”The audience buzzed with chatter. Sabrina’s face turned pale. Standing on the stage, she was at a loss for what to do.Her eyes darted toward Richard, and then back to Carter.“But... but...” Sabrina stammered. “But Carter... you told me... you said—"“Yes,” Richard interjected, his voice calm but tinged with a hint of mockery.“Carter told you that he did all of that. He’s lying.”A hush fell over the room. Sabrina’s heart sank as she realized how badly she had been deceived.She had believed ever

“Dad, did you pull the strings for this? Did you make sure Sabrina got on the list?”There was a long pause on the other end of the line before Carter father finally spoke.“Ah? Don’t bother me! We’re still handling the financials. Who cares about you!”With a sharp “beep” the call ended.The room went deathly quiet. Carter’s face turned crimson.“Could it really just be a coincidence?” Carter murmured, a trace of doubt flickering in his mind. If it wasn’t his father, then who could it have been? “Carter, what exactly did your father say on the phone? Why don’t you share it with everyone?”Richard remarked, his tone dripping with mockery. In truth, Richard had heard every word of the conversation. His hearing was remarkably sharp, and nothing escaped him.“I’ve confirmed it. My dad said he handled it!" Carter blurted out confidently, trying to reclaim his pride.Jillian couldn’t hold back her disdain any longer. She rolled her eyes, a smirk on her lips.“You’re really something, Ca

Sabrina showed a look of disbelief and said: “Then was it you who helped me? You’re useless, so why do you think others are the same as you?”Carter and Laura overheard Richard’s comment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Richard, are you blind? Didn’t you see that after I sent a text, Sabrina got the spot?” Carter mocked proudly. “Exactly. People like Richard who are so low and useless shouldn’t even be here,” Laura chimed in. “You still dare to question Carter? What about that rich woman you were with? Why don’t you go back to her instead of bothering us?”Laura’s voice grew louder with each word. Richard looked at the emotionally charged group in front of him and sneered. “Then I’d like to ask to see what Carter has to offer! “Richard looked at them.“Carter’s ability to get Sabrina to take the spot with a random text message, isn’t that something?” Laura interjected first. “Sabrina, don’t trust this guy who is full of lies,” Carter encouraged. Hearing all this, Sabrina turned t

The announcement for the evening event officially began.All eyes were on the stage. At this moment, Sabrina was extremely nervous. She clasped her hands together over her chest, fingers intertwined.Then closed her eyes in silent prayer. Seeing this, Carter leaned closer to her ear and whispered confidently.“There’s absolutely no problem!” Sabrina frowned slightly and nodded.The host on stage spoke: “Now, I will announce the names of the candidates...” Sabrina was on the edge, her heartbeat so loud it felt like it might burst out of her throat! “Martin Family Enterprises…”“Baker Group…”The host announced one name after another.The crowd's applause echoed throughout the venue. The executives of announced companies rose from their seat, offering friendly nods to those around them.“Only one spot left... will it really be me?” Sabrina thought anxiously, her toes curling tightly against the floor in nervous anticipation. In contrast to the excitement around her, Sabrina felt

“Four...three need to be selected...” Jillian looked at Sabrina’s information thoughtfully.“Miss, are you thinking of choosing Lansdowne Group?” The butler poked around.“Although she meets the requirements, I don’t like her.”Actually, she was a little jealous that Sabrina had become Richard’s wifeShe didn’t want to give her the candidate spot.But Jillian also knew that acting petty would only make her appear small-minded to Richard.“Understood, I will remove her name immediately!”“There’s no rush, why don’t you show the information to Mr. Royaland and let him decide.” Jillian said with a smirk.“Yes.” The butler didn’t ask more questions and left.There were still 20 minutes before the official list was announced.Sabrina overheard a conversation at the next table.The people were saying that the candidate spots had already been decided!Sabrina couldn’t hold back her curiosity.She leaned over to ask the people at the next table:“Excuse me, have you heard if Lansdowne Group m

Richard sensed the situation was spiraling.“Let’s go back inside,” he suggested to Jillian.“Alright. I need to go handle the candidates’ matters.”“Then see you later, Sabrina.” Jillian said, giving a polite nod before she left.“Sabrina, let’s head to the banquet hall," Richard suggested after watching Jillian leave.“Don’t come near me,” Sabrina snapped impatiently, shooting Richard a glare before turning sharply on her heel and storming off toward the hall.Seeing Richard only deepened her frustration.Richard and that woman, Jillian…Whether she could secure the nomination today…All these thoughts swirled in her head, fueling her irritation. Richard followed at a measured pace, watching Sabrina’s hurried strides.The sharp clatter of her high heels echoed through the hallway. He couldn’t help but smirk to himself. “This woman… will she ever develop some proper judgment?” Suddenly, the clacking heels stopped. Sabrina halted abruptly. “Can you stop following me? Stay away!” s

Sabrina and her group returned to Sabrina's mansion.Two hours before the charity banquet Sabrina paced anxiously.She had just heard from Carter that Lan was attending tonight too.If Richard showed up, there could be trouble.Carter took Sabrina aside, his expression serious.“Look,” he began, his voice low.“You know Lan doesn’t let things go easily. If Richard is there, it could get messy fast.”Sabrina frowned, trying to shake off a growing sense of dread.“But he wouldn’t pick a fight there, would he?” she asked, as if convincing herself.Carter shook his head, feigning exasperation.“You know better than that. The last thing you want is for Richard to provoke him and cause a scene.”"Richard will affect your candidacy results!" Carter added.Sabrina thought for a moment and then agreed.Thought of Richard getting dragged into another confrontation made her stomach twist.Sighing, she walked towards Richard.“I’m not taking you to the banquet tonight,” she said abruptly.“Stay h

As Carter walked into the boutique, he took in the situation with a keen eye, sensing the tension in the air.“Sorry! I had just finished handling company matters.”Carter said to Sabrina and Laura.Meanwhile, Sabrina was still in a state of panic, fretting about what might happen next.She was deeply concerned that Richard’s confrontation with Lan would lead to a serious backlash.Her mind raced, and she quickly turned to Carter for help.After telling Carter about what had just happened, she began:“Carter,” Her voice desperate, “I need your help. I don’t care what the cost is, I’ll pay any compensation needed, just please, help protect Richard.”Carter inwardly scoffed, his lips curling into a slight smirk, finding some twisted amusement in Richard’s reckless move.However, he kept his expression neutral, choosing to play along.“I’ll do what I can,” he replied smoothly.Richard stood there, both amused and touched by Sabrina’s concern.Despite her misunderstandings about him, her

The words shattered the last remnants of Laura’s patience. Her face twisted with hurt and disgust as she looked at him, her heart sinking.He wasn’t the man she thought he was; he was weak, willing to abandon her dignity and safety for his own comfort. It was almost too much to bear.Emma’s laughter filled the air, mocking and cruel. “I told you,” she crowed, her voice dripping with satisfaction.“He’s no man, just a pathetic little coward. Can’t even stand up for his own girlfriend!” She turned to Laura, her smile widening. “Looks like I win, doesn’t it?”“We’re done.” Laura hissed to Mike, her voice shaking. “You’re just a spineless, sniveling little coward. Don’t ever come near me again.”Sabrine could see the pain in Laura’s eyes. She stepped forward.“That’s enough,” she said coldly to Emma and Jason, her voice steady despite the fury raging within her. “I don’t care who you think you are or who you know. We’re done here.”But Jason merely chuckled, clearly amused by her
