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

    The day of their return meeting was now scheduled. Richard, who received the invitation, was informed by Smith that their meeting this time would be in a different place."So where is the location?" while putting on his shirt, Richard asked Smith who was there, busy reporting Richard's daily schedule.Smith checked again, he checked the invitation carefully and searched for the name of the location through the search engine. "This meeting will be held in a village, sir."Richard turned towards him while buttoning the sleeves of his shirt. "A village?" He was somewhat surprised that the location of the meeting was now rather unusual.Usually meetings would be held in luxurious places, or places that are suitable for conducting meetings in private, not open places let alone villages, a village became the location of their meeting location, rather one that was intended to discuss something more specific while pointing out the site."Yes, sir. The location of the village is a bit remote,

    Richard stared at him fiercely, there was a pain in his chest that pressed down and made it difficult for him to speak. "What are you doing, trying to poison me?"Gior smiled at him, he stared at Richard dismissively and was completely unfazed by Richard's worsening situation. "I had no intention of doing so." he argued easily. Taking a deep breath he fiddled with his fingers. "I didn't intend to kill you."Now her gaze seemed to turn darker, she seemed to regret the current situation, like she was missing out on something big that she should have gotten. "My intentions were not like this at first, you know yourself I sought you out to ensure an important purpose. Your involvement is exactly what I need, but if you refuse, what can I do?" she grinned with an increasingly loose smile.Richard stared at him fixedly, his jaw hardening. He had guessed that Gior would do something to him, that their meeting was not as good as he thought it was. Gior's interest in him was certainly justifie

    "Damn, what happened?" Gior cursed out loud, staring towards the back where many cars were chasing.He was sure those people were not the people from the party, not the people he ordered and the people he worked for. They were different people, love with what purpose targeting Gior at the moment, he didn't know.But one thing he knew was that he was in danger—the danger was right in front of his eyes. Indeed, those people didn't come to just shake hands with him or ask about his condition.As much as she felt threatened by them, she thought about Richard, who had just been killed. He guessed that those people were from Richard's side, who were chasing after him upon learning of their Boss's death."But how did they know?" he wondered. I'm sure I've organized everything well. No one knows about this remote place. Even to get into this place requires access that I have arranged in such a way, so where would they find Richard's whereabouts?"He was still panicking, yes, so the committee

    "How can you be here?" Gior stared in surprise at Richard, who approached him.He clearly saw Richard in front of his eyes, looking smiling and fine, contrasted so inversely and very far from the condition of Richard he saw a while ago. He was sure he was not mistaken; he had put the poison in his drink, and the poison was not just any poison.The poison could paralyze them in less than 15 minutes; slowly, his body would stiffen and then feel hot; he would feel his breath so tight and then vomit blood. The organs inside his body would have severe problems, so he would no longer be able to be saved.Who is this what was in front of his eyes right now were truly impossible things, impossible for Richard to survive. It was impossible that the man did not experience any effects after bending the drink earlier, while before, He really looked helpless and almost dead.Richard smiled triumphantly in front of him. "Why are you surprised? Are you surprised to see me alive and in front of you?"

    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
