Richard observed the rising smoke from the building area from a high vantage point. The smoke billowed heavily, making the place look like it had just gone through a war. Many scattered building debris could be seen.No structure remained standing; everything was flattened. Large piles of rubble had fallen on many people beneath them, and some areas were still ablaze with roaring fires."It's a shame it had to end this way." This wasn’t what Richard had hoped for. He found the results of his attack quite heavy to bear.He wanted to avoid a full-blown conflict. He hoped that only those directly involved—the henchmen of the Derren family—would be affected, not innocent bystanders.But once again, he found himself in a position where he had to choose between eliminating or being eliminated. He decided to destroy, bearing the weight of the dozens of lives he took today.His soul felt gnawed by guilt, and he regretted briefly enjoying the process of taking their lives. But he had no other
"Why did this suddenly happen to my family?" Naomi lamented her current situation, which had suddenly become so bad.It was clearly remembered that just yesterday, she asked her father for permission to go on vacation, and that was also at the suggestion of Richard, whom she knew as Kevin. So after they had a chance to talk, Naomi got permission from her father to go, but on the condition that she was still under the supervision of the people who were ordered to look after Naomi.Noami didn't object to that; she agreed. After all, she knew challenging would be pointless. So she left with the people her father ordered.But a few hours later, right after she got off the plane that took her away for a vacation. Naomi heard astonishing news; she found out that her father's base camp was attacked, blown up, and leveled to nothing.From that incident, it was rumored that no one survived, including her father, who also died because of the attack that occurred. Naomi, who heard it, immediatel
"Didn't you hear the latest news about the Morrison family?" The group of men, sitting in a luxurious restaurant in one of the magnificent hotel buildings, were talking about many new things when they came to the topic of talking about something that had just happened.The man with the short haircut looked up at the person speaking. "What happened?" he reacted with some interest."What I heard is that they're doing well. Their company's situation is also safe and sound. There's no problem with their stock price, so I think there's no problem." The man, dressed in dandy style, revealed what he knew.Many of them agreed; at least three out of seven people there had actually checked the current stock price of Richard's company.On average, all of their companies were in a pretty good situation; there was no specific drop in the stock price or a drastic spike in the stock price.Steve, the man who started the conversation, shook his head. "I heard rumors about them, rumors that are not ju
It's been a month since Richard returned from the place where he destroyed Darren's family, during which time he went through a flurry of activity that didn't let up. Starting to return to his life kept him busy with various jobs.Even the busyness that often left him with no time, made it rather difficult for him to meet with his fiancée, Rachel. They rarely met until Rachel took the initiative to meet him by coming to bring him food.They were seen taking a walk together after eating what Rachel had prepared for him."It's so hard to contact you these days, Richard." Rachel complained because Richard's busy schedule made it impossible for them to meet.Richard looked at her with a smile that he forced onto his face. "Yes, I've been rather busy lately. You know there's a lot of work I need to do."Of course, after leaving his home and position for two weeks, his work commitments piled up again and asked him to refocus on them immediately. As well as his business outside the city, he
He was shocked when he saw the name on the invitation—the name of the person who had invited him to a party to be held later. The name carried great influence in the region where they lived. “Adillas?” he said the name while looking at Smith closely.Richard was surprised. The Fair family was a family with considerable influence in their region. The family itself was a remnant royal family that rarely showed themselves to the public. Everything about them was kept so private that there was rarely news about them spread or sightings of their daily lives that became public consumption.Although the family was immaculate, getting an invitation from them became very serious for Richard. On the one hand, he thought this was a great thing, but on the other hand, he was worried about the possibility of something happening along with the invitation's arrival.“Right, sir, this invitation is from the Adillas family," Smith replied excitedly.Richard went back to reading the invitation, which h
"Find out about who got the invitation, who was involved in finding out about the party or whatever you can get." Richard gave orders to Smith who was still there.Quickly understanding, he nodded his head and took a step to leave Richard's room, leaving Richard and Rachel there.If about a few hours later when Rachel was no longer there, returned with the news that had been obtained. Standing in front of Richard who was now doing some of his work before he went to bed. "From the information I got, I learned that there were only 5 people who received the invitation."Richard listened casually while tapping his fingers on the table. "So what I got was an exclusive invitation." he returned his gaze to the invitation still on his desk.Smith nodded his head. "I'm sure it is sir." during the course of checking things and he could definitely vouch for that."You didn't get any information about who is coming?" Richard directed his gaze at Smith.He saw Smith shaking his head heavily. "As f
Managing everything was a big deal for Richard; he never had that much ambition. Because for him, it is impossible, organizing the people who live in this world is something that crosses the line.Humans can never be perfect; the existing ambition will definitely suppress an opposing group, and that conflict can become a bigger problem."Ruling the world is not an easy matter, sir," Richard spoke without a pressing tone. He was relaxed and calm in his place.Gior nodded his head. "Of course, God, all of us who are here know about that. I gathered all of you to create the world together. I am with our existence. With our powers combined, we can create the world we want."Richard never wanted a world to his liking. He didn't want to rule anyone. Just as he is free, people are free for themselves."A world where people commit crimes, we can easily overcome. Not your friend thinks there is so much anxiety and worry about the world moving beyond our control, such a world would be safe for
Richard was in a luxurious spout overlooking the sea. He was enjoying his dinner with Rachel, who was sitting in front of him. The two had agreed to promise dinner together after Rachel had previously discussed how rarely they met and spent time together.So Richard asked Smith to reserve dinner at a fancy restaurant where they were currently dining. The atmosphere in the restaurant was amazing. The restaurant, which had an outdoor location with a beautiful view of the sea, was the place Smith chose, hoping it would suit the romance they were building and impress Rachel.When it came, Rachel loved it; the woman couldn't stop smiling once she was seated and served at the place like a princess. She felt the intense romanticism of the place's aura. But over time, Richard's attitude bothered her; unlike her enthusiasm, Richard seemed flat. "Are you tired?" she asked the man.Richard stopped the bite into his mouth and wiped his lips. He shook his head softly in denial of Rachel's question
