Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 174
"You're back?" James crossed paths with Richard, whom he met after walking around his house's yard.Richard stopped his steps and waited for his father to walk over. Every time the stick moved up and restrained his body, he became anxious. He was worried that the stick would shift when used to support him, and then the man would lose his balance and fall.He was afraid James' condition would get worse, but he couldn't help him because James did it to maintain his pride. The tuna man didn't want to look weak until he did something that was actually dangerous for his age."Yes, the event is over." He waited and walked beside James with a cautious step. "What are you doing?" He ensured his steps didn't disturb James or make him feel the need to compensate for it.The old man smiled. "Nothing, just take a walk and enjoy the sunny air in the park." He smiled at first glance but looked different. "Lately I've missed your mother." He spoke softly.Richard immediately turned his head and glan

"This place hasn't changed much." Richard gazed into the distance at the scenery of the place which was still the same as in previous years.Not much had changed in the village near the shoreline. Everything was still as beautiful as before. As far as he could see, only a stretch of beach was not crowded.Maybe it was because the day was quite cloudy, the sky had been cloudy and barely showed any blue color at all. The wind blew towards him, fighting his efforts to move forward. Richard took his time as it blew across his face, seemingly carrying the weight of his thoughts with it.For a while he liked it, riding off road on unfamiliar roads where not many people recognized him became a relief for him, like he was on a vacation to treat himself who was indeed having a lot on his mind.When hard things happened, he found the simple things that were trivial even seemed soothing to notice, many trivial things that seemed even more entertaining than the entertainment he had been getting.

After wandering around the place, Richard chose to stay at one of the well-known hotels there. The hotel had good facilities, and he had no complaints about the service or price.He liked it and gave a decent rating to the place, but there was one disturbing thing there. Richard found the attitude of the local people there to be a problem. They kept looking at him sarcastically, not even hesitating to speak in a rather rude tone."Hurry up, you're not the only one here. Why are you blocking everyone else?" The reprimand came from a woman who had come with her partner, and apparently, her eight-year-old son was also in line.Richard suddenly took a step back in surprise. His hand was suddenly motionless, and he was about to take his breakfast menu. At least he had never been reprimanded like that in such a place, let alone when he was taking his food.He had intended to have breakfast downstairs while looking at the lovely view outside, not at all expecting that he would instead get a

"Hm, alright." Richard disconnected the ongoing phone call. He, wearing a nightgown, got up from his seat with the bottle of wine he had sipped earlier while accompanying himself in his room and looking at the night view from outside his bedroom window. He placed the bottle on another table, then put down his phone, took off him robe, and fell asleep.All day long he had been observing the hotel's surroundings and still hadn't gone anywhere to check further, he was still trying to ask the hotel staff, not just one staff but almost every staff he met to find out their opinions.He wanted to find out if what the manager was talking about was just a normal opinion or the opinion of many people there. He found that it was not just the opinion of one or two staff members he talked to; almost all the staff said the same thing. So he was moved to find out more."If their opinions are bad, I must correct their views first and gain their trust." He knew it wouldn't be good to insist on buildi

"Like I said, we can't just stand by and do nothing about this situation." Mike was at the center of the place and gave a passionate speech.He had gathered the crowd to listen to his proposal, which referred to the residents' concerns. "This land is our territory, village, place, and home. Don't let those people destroy our territory. They are not part of this place, which is not their territory, so we must expel them!" He clenched his fists in the air, trying to provoke those listening.Some of them reacted with cheers, supporting the man's words. But some of those still thinking didn't immediately get carried away. They seemed serious about it, and one raised his hand. "Say this place is not their territory because they are not the ones guarding it, but if this area is opened as a tourist destination or even something else, doesn't that also increase opportunities for us?""Yes, for example, our economy will be helped." The man in the other corner, also thinking seriously about it,
Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 179
Mike, who heard that remark, looked at him fiercely. Naturally, it made the people's guts shrink. He who looked back clearly saw their gazes, which were reluctant to come forward. Most of them were people with low economic backgrounds. Their thinking power was not that high, and they were easily provoked and scared.But not Mike. He was brave and a bit crazy. He didn't hesitate to take a stand and could even be said to be quite impulsive. "Who are you, huh? You think we're afraid of your threats?"Richard continued to walk forward, his eyes exchanging glances with Willson, who took the time to bow his head respectfully to Richard in the midst of the chaos. Richard responded casually and looked back at Mike. "That's as it should be because that wasn't just a threat. Know that I'm absolutely making sure that those of you who ruined this place will be in jail."Richard glanced sluggishly at them, staring at the spies intently and sending fear into them. "So tell me what you're charging u

"Are you sure you're not joking? You're not playing us?" One of them still asked doubtfully.Richard rolled his eyes at the question. "Just wait here for a while, and you'll find out."Right after that, Willson appeared with a large suitcase, and the security immediately found a table and placed it as a base for the suitcase Willson was carrying.Behind Richard, Richard watched them work. It was only when the suitcase was opened to reveal the neatly stacked money that Richard noticed the faces of the people suddenly looking fresh and fit.He smiled with a snort as the change on those faces was rapid and looked so much different. Those previously grumpy, tense, and hardened faces were now smiling brightly and seemed so happy, knowing they were about to get something of value.Again, they made Richard think money was the easy way to solve everything. But he wasn't wrong to think so either, as it was evident that it was precisely what they wanted."Well, this is fun. We won't be going ho

“What is this?! You can’t do this to us!” The village chief who didn’t recognize Richard and knew that Richard was the successor of the Marrison family.He tried to keep moving his body and fighting even though it was clear that he couldn’t match the abilities of the two people guarding him.The man’s eyes stared blankly at Richard, he looked at him with full of disapproval. “Let me go! Tell them to let me go right now!” He shouted in annoyance.Richard who was sitting on the table with a slight lean looked at the man pitifully. His eyes narrowed, with a cold expression. “Why would I order that?”There was no reason for him to do that after what they did to him. He had been patient enough by not destroying them directly.The body that was being held tried to lunge at him, but was perfectly held back by the people Richard ordered. “You’re asking why, huh? Obviously because you have no right to do it! I didn’t do anything wrong! What made me get treated like this, huh?!” He snapped at R

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
