"What's going on? Why is he riding in that fancy car?" asked Jasmine absentmindedly to Edmund, who knew nothing about it.

Edmund couldn't know why Richard was riding in that car when he did not even know him. He was unaware of Richard's origin and anything about him except what Jasmine had told him.

Edmund glanced at her. "How would I know? I should have asked you about it." He looked confused and upset simultaneously, and Jasmine was equally upset.

Jasmine grumbled in annoyance, staring at the car now pulled away from them. "I don't know either!" his voice rose. "I don't know who the man was who picked her up and why she called him master."

All the time she had been with Richard, she had never seen that person. Jasmine did not recognize who Smith was and what Smith's relationship with Richard was. She also felt that there was no way Richard's life could have improved that quickly.

"Are you sure your ex-husband is a poor man?" Edmund frowned. In his memory, he recorded the car well an

    "Good evening, everyone." Richard greeted and began to open the conversation to give a speech. He said a few words to them quite fluently, considering that he had taken a break, not being directly involved in recent years.But his welcome was greeted enthusiastically by the guests who came, some of them reacted with excitement, because at last someone whose identity was considered mysterious finally revealed himself to the public, they began to comment on his eye-catching appearance and so on, compliments about the good things in him were expressed mostly by the women who were present there.Others responded critically, as Richard's tender age was not commensurate with his known success and inexperience. Most of the things Richard did were always things of great value, but also, some things that were considered impossible somehow became promising when done by him."...min... Jasmine!" Edmund called out rather loudly, snapping the woman out of her reverie."What's wrong?" he asked, som

    "Damn! How annoying is that attitude!" Jasmine swore as she walked out of the party. She walked towards the parking lot, which should get her into the inner halls of the hotel, then walked towards the basement where their car was.He found Edmund's car around the corner, and just as likely, Edmund was heading for it as well. For a few moments, he exchanged glances with Jasmine, then signaled her to get into the car as he got in first.Jasmine, who had not been paying close attention to the expression on her face, got into the car with an annoyed expression. She sat down and closed the car door roughly, making Edmund watch her in astonishment.The man ignored the rude way she closed the door and focused more on Jasmine's situation, which was more important to him. "What's going on?" he asked the woman.Although Jasmine's attitude was annoying and harmful to Richard, it was not for him who liked Jasmine. He did not want to make her feel neglected or in a bad mood.Jasmine shook her shou

    Richard walked into the gallery building where the diamond exhibition he wanted to visit was located. He picked up an event brochure that contained a lot of information about the cast titled Longing Stone: The Memory of You."Who is he longing for?" Richard read the exhibition's title with a smile. As he walked inside, he skimmed the information written there to know what this exhibition was for and who was the muse of his work this time.Upon entering, Richard's gaze immediately met the display case that showed a large diamond sculpture in the gallery's center.Like him, several others stopped nearby and stared at the diamonds reflecting the sparkling light. The dispersion of light exhibited by the diamond looked amazing, making the spy marvel at its sparkle."It's amazing how he placed all these diamonds in just the right order." A woman was there admiring a diamond stone that appeared before her eyes.Walking from there, Richard came across a necklace that was one of the main items

    "He is a great person." Jasmine praised Daniel Grey after he finished his speech to the guests who had come that day for the exhibition he had organised after much planning.This was not the first time Daniel had organised an exhibition. He had previously organised a small exhibition financed from the money he collected. With great determination, he mortgaged his shop for the additional capital he needed, but he failed. The exhibition he held did not attract people to come, there were only a handful of people who saw it, but they left after a glance.Things had not gone well in the beginning, but not now. What she had worked for, along with Richard's support, paid off handsomely."He has great talent and luck." Jasmine's eyes were still looking at Daniel in amazement.Richard, who was near them, heard Jasmine's voice and glanced at her. Unlike Jasmine, Daniel didn't get this far because of his talent and luck. She saw for herself what kind of difficulties Daniel faced before he became

    "Ah, I've been looking for you since earlier among the master's crowd." Daniel smiled with his face full of happiness.His feelings were at an unprecedented level. After a long life journey, at a certain stage, he could finally show himself in public with their recognition of him. At that time, he wanted to boast to those who knew his difficulties best, showing that he had been able and had now reached the highest point he had managed to achieve.Richard looked at him proudly. "Yes, I saw your head looking for something in the crowd earlier."Daniel responded with laughter. "I wanted to show you, Master. Showing that I'm competent and that you didn't pick the wrong person. That I did not waste your time and effort in helping me."Richard nodded his head. "Yes, it seems I did choose the right person."He knew what he was doing a few years ago by choosing Daniel as the person he wanted to support. He knew Daniel had great ability but had no chance to develop. He pretended not to care an

    "What is this?" Jasmine made a slight mumble without being heard by anyone. Staring in confusion yet paying close attention to what was seen before him.She could see that Richard respected Daniel well from the way the man responded to her and took her at her word. He listened to Richard and responded well to him."What kind of relationship do they have? Why is Mr. Daniel being so nice to Richard? What don't I know about him?" Jasmine asked inwardly.She found it strange, especially since the man's trust in Richard didn't seem normal. Jasmine continued to watch him closely. "He said that Richard is a person he respects, so I'd better watch my manners carefully so that he doesn't mistreat me and take me the wrong way."Jasmine then lowered her head. She, who had hesitated to apologize in front of Richard, was now being more cautious. "He is an important person to you, so what has he done to you, sir?"Although she was trying to be polite, her curiosity sounded off. Daniel looked at her

    "So, how are you?" asked James Marrison, Richard's father. The man, who looked to be in his late seventies, sat with his gaze fully on Richard.He seemed calm, waiting for Richard, who was enjoying dinner before him. Richard raised his gaze to his father, looking at him with the same calm demeanour. "I'm doing fine." He didn't feel anything special or anything like that.James moved his hands to place the spoons neatly to the left and right of his plate. "I know what you're doing back here," he said, his calm voice dominating the sound throughout the room.Although he had entered his senior years, he had not lost any of his charisma as the leader of a large company. He was still his old self, the centre of attention because of his abilities."I know you've been busy lately doing this and that." From the sound of it, he sounded interested in it. "I also know that you are carrying out your delayed plans." He mentioned them one by one.Richard nodded his head as he sipped his drink from

    Smith watched Richard, who seemed to stay where he was, as he exited the car. He was buttoning the bottom of his shirt while smoothing it out. Richard's clothes didn't seem too flashy, but one thing that made his appearance steal the show was the pink cufflink that contrasted with the black suit he was wearing."You'll be fine, sir." Smith, who stood and waited for him to walk on his right side, spoke faintly so that no one would hear him.But her words, which meant nothing but encouraging him, bothered Richard. "Have you only known me for a year or two?" she asked without glancing at him.The sensitive Smith immediately bowed his head. "Of course not, sir." He denied that.He had long been Richard's servant from when Richard entered his teenage years, when Smith was still in his early twenties, not too far away from Richard's mid-teens. But even then, Richard was already mature-minded due to his position which required him to be wise and organized in many ways.Richard took a breath

    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
