Luna Swan felt both awkward and calm when she realized Richard's hand was now wrapped around her shoulder. The two of them were currently following Bruce Lazar who was leading them to a hidden room inside Ironwoods Casino.In the end, the two had arrived in front of a 'unisex' toilet room that was marked as broken. Seeing Bruce Lazar reach into his pocket for something, Richard guessed that the broken toilet door was the portal to the secret room in question.Richard's guess was right, the three of them one after another entered the narrow cubicle then seemed to walk in a dimly lit hallway until they finally arrived in a room with an area of four by four square meters."Miss Swan, sit there, I'll be right back soon." Bruce Lazar asked Luna Swan to sit on a long sofa in the center of the room.Luna complied, she invited Richard to sit together while Bruce went to another room using a door that also seemed to be camouflaged by the arrangement of furniture in the room.Richard nodded hi
The discussion about Luna Swan's mission was finally over. Bruce Lazar gave a small scroll of paper to Luna and asked her to study it after she left the secret room.When Luna had put the scroll away, Bruce Lazar nodded his head and murmured to Luna, "I guess you can go now, Miss Swan." Bruce Lazar's one hand shot forward, signaling Luna Swan to exit using the door he had pointed.Meanwhile, Luna immediately frowned at Richard who was still sitting casually on the sofa. Richard seemed silent and did not move an inch even though Bruce Lazar had asked Luna to leave."Why are you still there? Forger, let's go out!" Luna invited Richard in a half-whispered voice.In response to Luna's invitation, Richard shrugged while glancing at Bruce. "Luna, Mr. Bruce hasn't given me any instructions yet. Doesn't that mean only you can go out for now?""You?!!!"Luna Swan frowned even more, how could there be a young man who looked so relaxed when dealing with dangerous syndicate members. Luna who was
Tom Haley, of course, had no idea what Richard was talking about as it was outside the scenario they had agreed upon before entering Ironwoods Casino.Fortunately, Tom does have a knack for pretending and making up stories. That is why, when Tom offended Richard at the Phoenix Hotel, Richard chose to punish Tom with unexpected missions like this one. According to Richard, in addition to Tom's extraordinary background, Tom's skill in acting was also worth utilizing to smoothen the mission given to Richard by Alexander King."Hey, who said you could meet Richard King in person?" Bruce Lazar interrupted the conversation between Richard and Tom Haley. He felt that he didn't say anything about 'meeting with Richard King', how could Richard just lightly say that case to Tom Haley."What did you say?!" Tom Haley seemed to give an offended look at Bruce Lazar's. By doing so, it would useful to give an effect of dominance. It signified that Tom Haley felt superior to Bruce Lazar, and has the r
Bruce Lazar's entourage carrying Richard and Tom Haley had arrived on the Corvo island. The island was chosen as the headquarter of the Richard King Syndicate for the past few weeks. Reportedly, the syndicate on behalf of Richard King does have a nomadic base with the aim that their hiding place is difficult to be sniffed out by members of the local intelligence or police.In fact, Corvo Island is more like a wilderness with the edge of the island in the form of towering shrubs. There are no signs of human life if one only looks at the island from a distance.As he stepped onto Corvo Island, Tom Haley glanced at Richard a few times, an uneasiness starting to settle in Tom Haley's heart. He and Richard had been herded into the lion's den without the opportunity to bring any weaponries. If they were later harmed on Corvo Island, wouldn't the two of them be unable to put up any resistance?To calm his heart, Tom Haley stopped walking, making Bruce Lazar who had been walking in the front
Bruce Lazar was about to respond to Richard's inquiry when their group was interrupted by the sudden arrival of three Jeeps. Finally, they immediately boarded the Jeeps separately."Put Mr. Haley's car in the middle, me in the front, and Zephys in the back." Bruce Lazar commanded the Jeep drivers who came to pick them up. Everyone nodded obediently and began to form a line.The three jeeps made their way through the bushes inside Corvo Island. While observing the situation, Richard used all his senses to study the area. For a moment, he was grateful that his observations showed that there were no special traps set by the Richard King’s syndicate in the jungle of Corvo island.'If faced with an urgent situation, being in a forest like this would be even more advantageous!' Richard gave a small nod and smiled. A smile that made Tom Haley finally breathe a sigh of relief."Shhh... Mr. Forger..." Tom Haley whispered softly to Richard. After Richard turned his head, Tom Haley whispered aga
Upon entering the large cave in the center of Corvo Island, Tom Haley finally smelled the scents that Richard had mentioned. As a man who also knows several types of alcoholic beverages, Tom Haley swallowed repeatedly as he realized all of Richard Forger's guesses were correct. Only, Richard had recognized the scent long before they got there.At that time, it was so quiet in the cave passage that their footsteps sounded loud to their ears. Richard intended to break the silence by asking Bruce Lazar who was walking dreamily ahead."Mr. Lazar, you haven't answered my question from a while ago. Have you ever met Mr. Alexander King?!"Bruce Lazar looked back for a moment and then chuckled, "For now, we are all waiting for His Majesty Richard King's opportunity to summon Mr. Alexander to come to our headquarters. Unfortunately, His Majesty said that Mr. Alexander King is busy taking care of big things."Richard nodded slowly, realizing one thing. After hearing the statement from Bruce Laz
Richard felt he had already heard the voice of the person who had just called out from inside. It was just that, because he had indeed met so many people, it took some time for him to recognize or guess who the owner of the voice was."Forger, are you daydreaming? His Majesty has called us..."Richard Forger gasped after Tom Haley called out to him. The two then walked slowly towards the inner side of the room. The sounds of screams and moans became deafening as they walked deeper. Supposedly, these were the kind of sounds that would get the men excited and sweaty, but, in this situation, everyone looked disgusted and disturbed.As it turned out, the more they entered the narrow hallway, the more they found themselves in a large, luxurious room complete with a throne and a bed wrapped in red mosquito netting. The interior of the room resembled a Middle Eastern-style room design. No one would have thought that such a simple cave would have such a luxurious room inside."Gentlemen, you
Bruce Lazar regretted that he forgot to tell his guests that all of Richard King's men were obliged to bow to the ground whenever they spoke to Richard King. That was because the people of the Heavenly Dragons were higher than normal people and they deserved to be worshipped by anyone who wasn't a Heavenly Dragon family, at least, that was what Bruce Lazar often heard from his boss."Hey, is that guy over there deaf? He doesn't seem to hear your order, Bruce!" The fake Richard King squinted to look at the handcuffed man who stood with his head looking at the floor. Seeing that there were handcuffs on the man's hands, the fake Richard King laughed then shouted again, "Ah, he's just an errand boy apparently! Hm... Well, let me smash his head into the ground with my foot!"Richard's guess was right, he did recognize the figure claiming to be Richard King. The last time he met the man was in Roxburgh city. However, it seemed that the man had modified some parts of his body and face so tha
