The luxury car Richard was traveling in cut through the capital's streets. The license plates made them privileged, and the road users were happy to let them go first.

"Argh, come on. Why are you so slow? They've given us the road, so picking up the pace is better." Richard grumbled when the private driver didn't drive fast enough.

"I'm sorry, sir, but you must remember that we are currently on the capital's streets. We cannot drive at high speed. It will endanger other road users."

Richard sighed harshly. "You always have a thousand and one excuses. You know that I hate wasting time. Come on, my time is precious. I can't stay in this car any longer."

However, the driver ignored Richard's words and continued driving at the prescribed speed so that other road users would not be disturbed.

"Hey, are you thinking of something? Why is this car going slower and slower all of a sudden?" Richard shouted. It had already taken him 30 minutes to get to his destination, and he hadn't arrived yet

    The car, which had multiple levels of safety, rolled over, and the window cracked from the impact."Shit." Richard groaned as he felt pain all over his body. There was fresh blood running down the temple of his right eye.Richard had a little trouble undoing the seatbelt. He had to get out of this car, and the crack in the window glass made it unsafe for him. Richard didn't want his life at stake if he stayed in here any longer."I'll take out those bastards." Richard found the hidden weapon inside the dashboard. His lips wore a sinister smile.Very carefully, Richard peered through the cracked window of the car. The situation outside was horrible. Many road users were affected."How ironic." Richard sighed. "Those losers have killed innocent lives. Gosh, they must be having trouble sleeping at night. In that case, I would be so kind as to take the lives of those criminals." The look in Richard's eyes showed that the man was ready to fight. With his current reinforcements, no matter

    "Shit." "Don't move much, sir. Your wound must be cleaned immediately to prevent infection.""Then do it quickly. I can't lie any longer on this hard bed.""Calm down, Sir. Those nurses will die of fright at the look on your scary face.""Shut up, you. I've been refraining from giving you a lesson. You talk too much." Richard looked sharply at the man. "Don't say anything to my father.The man shook his head. The look on his face was rancid in Richard's eyes. "Too late, sir. Your father and the entire country already know about the incident 30 minutes ago."The man took a step back as Richard's hand reached out to him. He then shrugged his shoulders."Your father will be here shortly, sir." The man bowed slightly and retreated his steps to exit the emergency room. Then, he told the nurse to move Richard to the treatment room and gave him sleeping pills.He did all this so that Richard could rest, knowing that Richard would go to see someone later."How is he?" asked a middle-aged man

    Richard looked at him casually. He looked at Reynolds, who stood at the centre of the lead with ambition in both eyes. "You're too confident that you'll succeed." Richard's hand moved silently across his father's desk.Reynolds, who did not realise what Richard was doing, smiled with a confident face. "I have my reasons for being confident, and I think you know them."The men behind Reynolds were all still at the ready with their guns pointed at Richard and were just waiting for Reynolds' signal for them to open fire."I don't know; to me, you have no reason to." He pressed the button, and then, from the direction of the right and left walls, Richard exited the glass wall that confined him inside like a sanctuary.Both Reynolds and all the mercenaries he brought along were shocked. They changed their positions, with their backs to each other, and stared at the outer circle warily.While Richard, who saw their panic, laughed contentedly, he came forward and sat on James' desk, wiping t

    "How is my father?" Richard asked the man standing guard in front of his father's hospital room.The man waiting for him before the open elevator door then walked behind Richard. "Mr. James is doing well so far, sir. There is nothing suspicious around Mr. James."Richard was assigned to secure James from Reynolds's possible attack on the other Marrison family members. He also considers different things the man might do with James."Keep monitoring his security, and don't let your guard down." He warned them to always be vigilant.The man crossed Richard's path and bowed as he opened the door for him. "Yes, sir, I will."Richard walked into the hospital room where James was sitting in his wheelchair, heading towards the door where Richard had appeared. "You came?" The man's voice sounded low. His face looked rather pale, and his breathing looked heavy.Seeing that, Richard breathed deeply. "I expected something like this to happen to us." He stood in front of James less than a meter aw

    Some time had passed since the day of the incident. News of the attack spread throughout the country for a reason that Richard had deliberately set up."So how's it going?" Richard took a sip of the book Smith had brought to his study moments before walking into the room.Smith sat on a different sofa from him with his body position leaning towards Richard. "So far, everything is fine, sir. There are no strange omens that need to make us feel alarmed."He calmly reported the monitoring results over the past two days on James, who became the object of his observation due to the suspicion Richard had attached to him after seeing the closeness between James and Reynolds. He thought that perhaps his father was also being influenced in his mind by them and that his father would secretly target him as well.Even though he was not entirely sure about it and felt terrible for suspecting it, he still needed to do it because it affected many things that would be involved if it was confirmed tha

    "What's my schedule after this meeting?" Richard walked out of the decades-old main building, followed by Smith behind him, who kept their steps together by not preceding him.He quickly checked the journal he had made in the notes on his cell phone. "The next two hours, sir, you have nothing to do."In other words, Richard had free hours to spend on other things."Then you can go. Leave the driver alone." He stood on the sidewalk of the street that ran along the office buildings and shops and wandered around, looking for his destination. "I want to take a walk around here."He wanted to relieve the fatigue from the daily burden that, instead of lessening, continued to grow and weigh her down. Moving on from one thing before it was even finished, another was waiting for him to do. His overscheduled daily life was somewhat troublesome to him, like a tie tied too tightly around his neck. It was a bit suffocating and needed to be adjusted several times to keep it on."Yes, sir. You can c

    "M-Mr. Richard?" He was surprised when his gaze met Richard's.He had no idea that the man causing trouble for him and his betrothed Ross was Richard, the Marrison family patriarch, a man he was naturally powerless to deal with.Richard looked at him coldly, removing the hand on his shoulder.The man named Rigid moved back awkwardly and nervously. He was fully aware of what kind of person he was dealing with and how dare he touch Richard in such a rude manner, but Richard's existence in that place itself also made him wonder. "Excuse me, sir, but what are you doing in this place?"Richard wagged his hands on his shoulders, then looked at him sharply. "What business is yours? What am I doing here?" She snapped back and silenced him.If it hadn't been for Richard standing in front of her now, he would have punched her earlier and made a severe fuss about her meeting with Ross, her fiancé. They were meeting in a place far from the crowd, and secretly, it was suspicious, and he was not wr

    Rosse looked at Richard prejudicially until she caught her breath and realised what he meant. It was true that nothing was free in this world. Everything costs money. "What can I do for you, sir?" She doubted there was anything Richard wanted from her.Richard saw the change in her face with a faint smile. He was sure that Rosse must be thinking of something strange to pay for, probably something sexual, as most men would expect that from a woman. It was a pity that Richard only said that offhandedly because he felt somewhat disturbed by Rosse's situation. He was honestly annoyed but couldn't just leave her.He took a breath from his mouth and fully filled the air into his lungs, then turned his gaze nonchalantly while looking at the crowd crowding the streets again. "Save the payment for next time, I don't need anything right now."Next time? Rosse looked confused at him.What did she mean by next time? Although Richard was an important person who would probably show up anywhere, she

    One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

    "Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

    After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

    "Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

    Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

    "What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

    Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

    "No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

    The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
