"You can't do this to us!" Wales shouted at him in disapproval. This is an abuse of power!" He spoke as if he understood best.

While Richard looked at him with indifference. "Then what do you want to do? Do you want to report me? Prove that I'm guilty and want to get me removed from my position? Are you sure you can do that?" The corners of Richard's lips rose as his eyebrows also rose slightly to stare at Wales.

Wales and Matt looked at each other. Just like Wales, Matt also could not accept him releasing himself from the grip of Jo, who was the quietest among them. "Of course we can, removing someone from their position if they misbehave is not a difficult thing now. On the contrary, maybe the company will thank you for saving the company from someone like you!" He pointed at Richard and pointed at him impolitely.

Richard moved his hand up to swat the hand away and made the hand slap down. He was still within the limits of patience and let them be as long as they didn't try to touch

    "Sir, would you like to have a drink together? The people there are waiting for you. They want to talk to you about the head office." A man who had greeted Richard when he came and entered the building for the first time.He was just passing by and was looking for him, indeed, but he accidentally met Richard, who had just appeared again out of nowhere, of course, he didn't know.Richard expressionlessly looked at him, then later nodded and let the man guide him to another group of people. This time, he had completely lost interest in engaging in conversation with them. When they asked questions, he just briefly nodded and seemed to be listening, but his attention was not really on them. He didn't think about what they were talking about; his mind seemed blank, with nothing on it.Gradually their voices began to fade from his hearing and began to faint, the sound of music spinning distracted him, then his eyes turned away from them there and he began to pay attention to the sparkling p

    Richard casually sat at the dining table in the dining room, enjoying a quiet breakfast. A plate of warm croissants and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice lay before him while his mug of black coffee puffed warm steam. The large windows in the dining room displayed a view of the well-manicured garden, with the morning sunlight shining through the green leaves."Good morning, sir," Smith spoke in a polite tone as he took his place at the side of the table, checking the notes on the tablet he was holding. "Sorry to interrupt your breakfast, but there are some reports you need to know about."Richard turned his head, raising an eyebrow curiously. "What is it, Smith?""Some of the ventures we've been running recently have run into a little chaos," Smith explained. His voice showed a hint of anxiety, although he tried to remain calm and professional. "However, we've already dealt with the issue, and I'm sure everything will be fine."Richard nodded, not looking too surprised. He knew

    The sun had not yet fully risen that morning when Richard saw his father walking with a cane. Although age and health conditions forced many people to use wheelchairs, his father refused firmly.James seemed reluctant to look old and weak. Everyone there would consider it natural if he used an assistive device such as a wheelchair, but he was instead tough and defiant."What's he doing with it?" Richard observed the old man's slow but steady steps. James was determined to maintain his little independence and was still trying to show that he was capable and tough.Richard couldn't help his curiosity. He was quite disturbed by his father's behavior, which made him even more anxious. "Why doesn't my dad just use his wheelchair?" he asked Smith, who was on hand to assist Richard despite the early hour.With an understanding look, Smith replied, "He feels more comfortable using a cane, sir. The wheelchair makes him feel more restricted like he's still in his prime."Richard snorted softly

    Inside the room, which seemed to grow darker as time passed, the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive. A thick fog hangs in the air, enveloping every corner with an eerie silence. The light from a dim lamp in the corner of the room only shone in certain areas, highlighting a large desk filled with documents and tools. The room walls looked dirty and unkempt, reflecting the chaos that was going on inside.A man sat behind the desk with a slightly cynical expression of pleasure. His smile did not reflect happiness but calculated satisfaction. His sharp eyes looked at the person standing in front of him."Richard has finally accepted our invitation," the stranger said triumphantly, his voice breaking the silence that enveloped the room. This is our chance to publicly humiliate him and the Marisson family. We'll show everyone how stupid they are." His gaze sharpened, and his smile seemed tense.The atmosphere was getting heavy. The man rose from his chair with slow but sharp movement

    Amidst the busy crowd at the television station, Richard moved with calculated steps, adjusting to his disguise as a nondescript staff member. In a simple outfit designed to disguise his identity, Richard carried a fake ID card that allowed him to enter customarily restricted areas. With a keen eye, he observed every detail of the surroundings, trying to understand the workflow and organizational structure within the building. The atmosphere of the television station, with its intense activity and production hustle and bustle, gave Richard the impression that he was at the center of a significant, complex mechanism.From his vigilant vantage point, Richard looked around him carefully. The busy staff moved quickly, the giant cameras and studio lights flickered, and the general atmosphere was excitement and tension. Everyone seemed to have a clear role and a task to accomplish, making it a place full of dynamism and energy. Richard knew that amidst all this chaos, there would be opportu

    In the middle of the studio, filled with indistinct whispers from the staff looking towards her and the crowd, the woman stood in the corner of the room, her eyes focused on Richard's presence. Her mind spun rapidly in the binding silence around them, trying to analyze Richard's sudden presence. The uncomfortable feeling that came over her increased as she watched the figure that seemed to be hiding something behind that calm face. Even though the event had already started, her mind focused on Richard, assessing and interpreting his every move."Why is he making me anxious? " she asked silently, looking at Richard furiously.The initial conversation that filled the room was about their country's economy, a topic that was clearly one of the main agendas of the evening. The discussion revolved around the country's economic achievements and progress, and all participants seemed to agree that their country was going through a period of progress.Many of the companies that have developed i

    "Isn't that why you should work harder? Instead of bothering about things you don't really understand?" Da was referring to the man who had pushed him earlier, speaking as if he was planning to bring him down.The man who attacked Richard was silent. He maintained a calm face in front of the people watching him, while behind the desk, he clenched his hands tightly on his thighs, furious at what Richard had said."I'm doing my job well, as evidenced by the fact that there are no reports of me cheating in business, failing to pay state taxes, or anything else related to my inability to run the company by the law.""That's right, sir." The lawyer smiled at Richard's words. He was quite satisfied with Richard's answers, which had managed to make his anxiety disappear. "But what Mr. Meynard is probably talking about here is the blatant flexibility of business."Flexibility is often perceived as a threat in the challenging business world. Many think that too frequent or unplanned adjustment

    As the meeting grew warmer, compliments began to pour in for Richard. The atmosphere in the room felt more and more alive as admiration for the young man increased. “Look at him,” several meeting participants whispered to each other in hushed tones full of admiration. He was still young, but his thinking was so broad. He really is an extraordinary figure.” Richard stood in front of the table with a sturdy posture and a confident face. His heavy voice echoed convincingly in the room. Every sentence he uttered seemed to build a bridge to the future, filled with vision and ambition.Around him, meeting attendees seemed mesmerized by his detailed explanations of the social initiatives he had undertaken. Her piercing eyes exuded conviction, while her calm and measured movements added credibility to her every word.The woman who had earlier passionately defended Richard’s opinions continued to stare at him with deep admiration.

    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
