Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 35 Help...!
"Sir, please don't make it difficult for us, we would have to inform security if you conceal your identity," the receptionist said seriously because of the hideous and suspicious appearance of Leo and his guest, one of her hands rested on the receiver and the other one on the alarm beneath the table. She was so afraid that she was ready to call the police. Leo showed his hand to the receptionist to stop her from making a fuss and then moved back to ask Jessica to stand near the reception lobby. He moved back toward that staff member and slightly removed his mask revealing his face. "Do I have to call Mr. Roberts to make you believe that I am a regular here?" his voice merely a whisper but yet it shivered the lady.That receptionist jolted recognizing their special guest, "Mr. Conner, I... I... am sorry I am really sorry, I couldn't recognize you, please pardon me, and come in," she was even more terrified after recognizing him, and gestured for a bell boy to attend to him right awa
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 36 Superhero was born...!
He slammed his foot on the door jumping towards the room, where he was able to see the baby.And then, he saw it, a crib, tucked away in a corner of a room. The baby, wrapped in a blanket, coughing and crying her last breath out in fear and discomfort. Leo rushed to the crib, carefully picking up the baby. He could feel the heat of the flames nearby, and his senses warned him that time was running out. Holding the precious bundle securely, he turned and retraced his steps, navigating the smoke-filled corridor. Before leaving the room he hurried to the bathroom and dipped the baby's blanket and another blanket into water.Covering the baby and himself with a wet blanket, he rushed towards the window.Looking down were the media and the rescue team running all around in panic. The media covered each corner of the building thoroughly.Leo's face was still covered but if he showed off his special kind of abilities before everyone, the whole city would be in shock.He knew that the medi
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 37 Milky White...!
Gulping down the lump that had formed in his throat, Leo volunteered to help but his actual invention was something else. Albert was a man in his mid-thirties, with a heavy body and knee pain as a bonus, climbing stairs was like a burden for him. After giving a confused look to Leo, he finally agreed to Leo's help."Okay, I will go get the CDs for you and you go bring the coffee beans...!"Exhaling the warm air from his lungs, Leo sucked in the fresh air and rushed up to his room immediately without giving a single second to the man to change his mind. All the other colleagues were busy speculating about the origins and powers of Anonymous Angel, so it was easy for Leo to excuse himself from the conversation as no one was noticing him. When he reached upstairs, his mind was racing with many thoughts. He knew he had to retrieve the hoodie before anyone else and had to hide it properly before anyone could see that and more questions were raised. He needed to take out the coffee bean
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 38 Kill Them All...!
Leo stood there, his heart racing as he absorbed Derek's words. At first, he didn't believe his ears that he heard it right."Kill them all...!" he clamored, "It's not a game, Derek...!" He stumbled upon his steps as he paced inside his room, that soul floating around him. "You have to help me, Leo" Derek had been insisting on what he said.The weight of the situation bore down on Leo like a heavy storm cloud. The room seemed to close in around him, the air growing thick with tension he stopped his stumbled walk while staring at Derek."Derek, listen to me," Leo's voice quivered slightly, a mixture of empathy and desperation. He could feel the anguish that Derek had endured, the desire for revenge burning like wildfire within him. But Leo knew deep down that resorting to violence and killing wasn't the answer to all this.Moreover, he couldn't do this...!As he looked into Derek's tortured eyes, Leo's mind raced, searching for the right words to reach the troubled soul. "I underst
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 39 I wanted to kill him...!
"How do you...I mean..." Leo stuttered, fetching for words, it was unbelievable. Though it is easy to doubt as he was unbelievably fast to travel, the twisting question was how could she know about his jumping down to the lower floors? That wasn't revealed in the media, then how?Jessica chuckled loudly, "I can't believe I bewildered the superhero, that literally means that I got that right," Leo was stunned for a while, thinking about what she was trying to imply, was she just joking with him?Did he give her a hint with his tense?"What do you mean?" he slowly asked, "I just hacked the devices that belong to those channels and found a video in their sources. They might not have understood but I guessed from your dress that it was you, and now it was confirmed from your tensed and shocked self that the man jumping like a Spiderman was indeed you," she said gleefully. Though a little unusual, she has confirmed that it was true.But instead of bothering about getting caught, Leo's m
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 40 Connecting the ends...!
"I want to kill that bastard...!" she sniffed in anger, the cool attitude of that girl suddenly changed into a burning pit. Her eyes turned red with tears rolling up in them."I will suck his soul out of his guts, pluck his eyes out of their sockets and drain his blood letting him die slowly...! The most miserable death ever,"Leo was taken aback by Jessica's sudden outburst, he gulped down the lump that had formed in his throat. His mind swirled around with many new doubts that had clouded his head.Was that the same sexy girl he just saw and felt attracted to?He couldn't believe his eyes as he saw that formidable aura around her."A...ah...!" there weren't any words coming out of his mouth for the moment.Her anger was palpable, and her words hit him like a bolt out of the blue. He had not expected such intense emotions from her. "Just tell me if you know where I can find him...I will...!" she added, clenching her fingers on Leo's shoulders while shaking him in anger. He grabbed

As they followed the trail of evidence, they found themselves facing dangerous situations, testing their skills and their trust in each other. But suddenly something happened and Jessica screamed standing up, "Oh no, Shit...!"She was so scared that the laptop from her lap tumbled on the ground when she jolted. Her hands settled on her mouth unknowingly while her jaw might have dropped in shock."What happened Jessica? Is everything fine with you?" Leo asked concerned, his hand resting on her shoulder. Jessica took a deep breath before answering him in a stuttered tone,"Th...They...they traced me down...!" she was terrified that her whole self was trembling. Leo couldn't comprehend the matter with her but all he knew was to comfort her for now. He instantly embraced her in his arms, rolling his hand on her head."Don't fear, I won't let anyone harm you, everything will be fine" For her terrified self, Leo was like the strength she needed the most at that moment, she forgot everyt
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 42 Caught...!
"Boss, I caught her" a goon came in, informing Maxwell."No....!" "Bull...Shit...!" Leo muttered as the situation dabbled up on him. His whole frame froze and he swallowed hard.It was fine for him to get caught and he could easily get out of there with his supernatural powers but what about Jessica, just the thought sent chills down his spine. They couldn't get in touch as Leo's phone was taken away by them as their safety measures and he couldn't use any hidden device either as without checking for it Maxwell would not have allowed him in.Before his terror consumed him, Leo closed his eyes and flung open them again enlightening his ability to read minds while his ears were busy listening to the girl gasping in fear behind him.[That bitch, how dare she run away from us, though she had paid off her bills, she had a nice body that could be used. How could I let a treasure go?]The girl was not Jessica but still Leo gritted his teeth in anger. "Bastard...!" he mumbled under his brea

Leo stepped back, giving his parents the space they needed as they clung to each other, the years of pain and separation melting away in their embrace. Slowly hugging his girlfriend, Leo indulged in the delicacy of reunion. Leo watched them, his own emotions threatening to overwhelm him. He had dreamed of this moment for so long, and now that it was here, he felt a profound sense of peace. His family was finally whole again.

She couldn't believe that she was seeing her husband after nearly twenty years.

Chapter 110 Reunion...!

The beggar snatched the food from her hands but then paused. Jessica wasn't brothered at all, instead, she wanted to help that beggar by lending him some more money. Then suddenly the stopped and was mumbling something to himself. "Th...thank ...y...you..." Slowly, he raised his head, and for the first time, Jessica got a good look at his face. His eyes were sunken, his skin weathered, and his hair matted with dirt, but there was something familiar about him that she couldn’t quite place. As he looked at her, a faint glimmer of recognition flickered in her eyes. Jessica was dumbfounded. Was that man...!! Was that him? “Thank you, young lady,” the man mumbled, his voice raspy with exhaustion. “Thank you so much for the food. My son is still waiting for me. He must be so hung

Chapter 109 The strange encounter...!
Author's point of view... That day, Leo felt so uncomfortable even to spend another second there, wasting time. After grabbing something to eat, Leo and Jessica arrived at the NGO with a sense of urgency, the weight of their mission pressing down on them. The place was quiet, with only a few staff members moving about. They immediately recognized Jessica as she was a volunteer there. Jessica led the way, her mind racing with memories from years ago. They were here to search through the records, hoping to find any information about the man she had encountered during a medical camp—a man she now knew was Leo's father, Renard Edward Connard, her Aunt's husband. When asked, the staff told her that those records might be destroyed as if had been so long. But Jessica insisted on checking them. They poi red towards a shabby room. The records room was tucked away in a corner of the building, a small, dusty space filled with rows of old files and boxes stacked high. Jessica hesit

Chapter 108 The man in the photo...
Author's point of view... The first light of dawn crept into the room, casting a soft glow over the sleeping figure on the bed. Jessica stirred, blinking her eyes open as she adjusted to the early morning light. She stretched, feeling the cool air against her skin, and realized with a start that Leo wasn’t anywhere in the room. Panic gripped her momentarily as the memories of the previous day's events came flooding back. Leo had returned late, his mind elsewhere, burdened with a weight he couldn’t fully comprehend. He hadn’t come to the room after that. Where is he? Worried, Jessica slipped out from under the covers and rushed out of the bed to looked around. As she padded towards the terrace, she didn't find any trace of him, there either. Her breath caught in her throat as she stepped outside. Did he go somewhere?Did something happen again? Jessica recalled everything, how Leo seemed to be worried last night and she panicked at the thought of something going wrong wit

Chapter 107 We will meet again...Mom...!
Author's point of view... Leo was puzzled. He couldn't understand what mystery this was. Should he laugh or cry? Mr. Renard Connard read the father's name again, then shifted his gaze towards the column of his mother's name, Helen Connard...! Helen was his birth mother?? He flipped over the photograph to see the faces of his parents once again, more clearly. However, just as he took it out again, the shocking resemblance took him aback. Tears filled his eyes again. "This...!!" He quickly reached for the other paper, pulling out the letter with trembling fingers. His heart pounded as he unfolded it, recognizing the worn edges of a note written in haste. As his eyes darted across the page, the truth hit him like a punch to the gut. It was a letter from his father. *Renard Edward Connard.* Leo’s knees nearly buckled as he read, the weight of the words sinking into him like an anchor. The letter explained everything—how his father had left him at the orphanage when he wa

Chapter 106 Mr. and Mrs. Connard...!!
Author's point of view...The envelope was empty...! Leo snuck his fingers into it and checked it again and again. A surge of frustration shot through him. He clenched his fist, trying to contain the anger bubbling beneath the surface. How could the system betray him like this? He had done everything and sacrificed so much, only to be left with nothing. Jessica, sensing his distress, placed a hand on his arm. “Leo? What’s wrong?” Leo pulled himself back immediately, he can't let her worry. He forced a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “It’s nothing,” he lied, his voice tight. “Just... something which I didn't expect.” Jessica frowned, but she didn’t press further. She could feel the tension radiating from him and knew better than to pry. Instead, she stood by his side, offering silent support as Leo grappled with the storm of emotions inside him.Leo felt cheated, betrayed but he didn't let it show on his face. At least, he can't tell this to anyone. Controlling himself w

Chapter 105 Empty...!
Author's point of view... Leo and Jessica walked side by side down the quiet street, the Connard estate fading behind them. They took a taxi back to the city. Daniel had taken care of everything about his restaurant. After giving up on all those luxuries that the system had provided him, the only thing that Leo had now was his restaurant, as the system believed that it was solely his hard work. And he deserved it. The villa he bought was under the name of Connard estates and so he had to leave it behind. Now, Leo was back in his small shabby room on the terrace of the restaurant. When they reached their restaurant, its closed doors greeted them with an eerie silence, offering a rare moment of privacy. The employees were all tired after the chaos that they had suffered, and because of this, Leo had given them all a few day's leave. Everybody needs some time for themselves, including him. As they stepped Inside, the space felt strangely peaceful, as though it, too, had b

Chapter 104 Be my son...!
Author's point of view... Helen stood tall, but her strength was faltering. She had just witnessed everything. The boy she raised as her son wanted to kill her. The weight of everything, the betrayal, the revelations, the heartbreak, seemed to crash down on her all at once. Her breath became shallow, her body swaying on weakened legs. Before anyone else could react, Leo rushed forward, catching her just as her body began to give way. "Ma'am, be careful...!" The moment his hands touched her, an electric jolt seemed to pass through Helen. She blinked in daze, looking up at Leo as if seeing him in a new light. His steady, concerned gaze met hers, and for a fleeting second, she thought of her son, her real son, the boy she had lost so long ago. He would be around Leo’s age now. How different things might have been had he lived. Leo gently eased her into a chair, his touch careful, almost reverent. His presence brought her a small measure of comfort, a warmth she hadn’t felt i

Chapter 103 You tried to kill me??
Author's point of view... The gun in Alvin's hand dropped as he saw Helen standing before him. Helen stepped forward, her eyes scanning the room, filled with sorrow and disappointment. “I never thought my own family would betray me,” she said, her voice soft yet firm, carrying the weight of a truth long hidden. Leo and Jessica exchanged glances before stepping forward at Helen’s call. They approached her, and she placed a gentle hand on each of them, her grip weak but meaningful. “If not for them,” Helen continued, her gaze settling on Alvin, “I would have died long ago in that accident.” Her voice cracked, but she held her composure. “Jessica, Leo, they were the only ones who stood by me. Jessica, at my request, carried out this entire plan so we could unearth the truth about the accident. And now, it’s clear… it was my own family behind it, the son I raised...” her eyes filled with tears. It was true that she wanted to find her lost son but she never treated Alvin as
