At that moment, people's gazes, which were originally fixed on the beautiful girl, now simultaneously turned towards Richard Forger. Watching how the girl greeted Richard, some men secretly imagined themselves in Richard's position. A few more seemed to show expressions of envy and annoyance.Meanwhile, Richard did not give any answer even after the beautiful girl stood less than a meter away from him."Mr. Forger, why did you look surprised? Just so you know, I joined this tournament specifically so I could see you again," the girl insisted, as if hoping her confession would make Richard pay a little attention to her.However, instead of being moved or anything like that, Richard took a deep breath and shook his head. "Unbelievable! Not only did you poison Rowena Roemer to meet me, but now you're also joining a martial arts tournament so you can meet me again? Well, don't be mad if others will call you crazy, Miss Torres."Ginny Torres coughed while several other men who happened to
The charismatic man who came with dozens of bodyguards had completely captured the attention of the martial arts tournament participants. From the tense expressions on the participants' faces, one could infer that they seemed to feel they would have no chance of besting the charismatic man, no matter how hard they tried.As the charismatic man entered the technical meeting hall, people's eyes were drawn to him. Without being asked, some people who happened to be near the man seemed to rush away to make a space for the charismatic man who was walking with a group of his men.Seeing how the participants responded to the charismatic man, the head bodyguard of the man seemed to smile with satisfaction and then muttered, "In the martial arts world, someone with high ability can indeed bring out a dense aura like you, Young Master," the head bodyguard said to the charismatic man. "It's only natural that everyone seems transfixed by your arrival this time.""Not really. Look at that young gu
"I heard that father truly removed your name from the list of people that the Heavenly Dragon should protect. Thank me because I came here not on behalf of the Heavenly Dragon." The charismatic figure named Hazelle King replied while smiling sarcastically at Richard Forger.That smile made Richard laugh and then asked, "So, what return should I give to repay to a brother who wants to protect his younger brother? Ah yes, with one important note, his younger brother doesn't even need any protection, ha ha!"Hazelle King chuckled, the fingers of his right hand massaging his temple a few times. While sitting with his legs crossed, Hazelle King muttered with a sharp gaze to the right. "You are too reckless to be able to fathom how far the Red Skull has made preparations to trap you, My Arrogant Little Brother. Trust me, soon you will realize that you do need my presence here."Richard shrugged and shook his head. "Hazelle, I'm afraid your presence won't be of any use here, so, go back to M
The beautiful woman in the black mask now snapped her fingers for the second time. As that happened, the projector screen behind her brought up a voice-over video."Welcome to the participants of the Annual Martial Arts Tournament in the Eastland City."There was a loud echoing voice that filled the entire room."As you know, this year we have doubled the prize for the winners. By winning this tournament, you can enjoy wealth without having to work for the rest of your life. In fact, it's just a little surprise. We have more than that!"The video paused for a moment. The tournament participants looked at each other as they waited for the next announcement from the video they were watching. Indeed, the news of the prize amount given to the tournament participants was enough to make the participants shiver with excitement.If it was just a little surprise, then was there anything more exciting than that?"And, we are happy to announce that a person or a team will be rewarded with a priz
All the tournament participants came to the hall that day for the technical meeting. None of them expected that the tournament, which was supposed to be held in the next few days, would start in two hours. Of course, this made the initially rowdy atmosphere even rowdier.At that time, Richard guessed that the sudden decision was intentional by the organizers. When in a state of surprise with no preparation like that, the participants' psychology will be disturbed. The decision they would likely choose is an impulsive decision that lacks consideration.Since the tournament organizers had just given the doctrine that they were preparing a super fantastic prize for the individual or group that defeated Richard, it was certain that the majority of participants would take a mostly same impulsive decision: attacking Richard Forger."That's all, this announcement is made. See you at the arena," the organizer concluded.At the same time, the lights that highlighted the side of the stage were
It would be excessive for Red Skull to deliberately devise such a massive plan just to eliminate a single enemy. Richard repeatedly contemplated the worst-case scenarios that Red Skull might have, because he felt that his own life was too valuable to be exchanged for the struggle carried out by Red Skull.Come on... What is their plan, actually?" Richard closed his eyes and took a deep breath. One hypothesis after another started to emerge in his mind, but he still doubted everything.Richard's daydream was interrupted as the ship he was on was now docked at an island with a vast stretch of beach. On that beach, three blue tank containers were faintly visible, lined up prominently among the expanse of white sandy shores.No one knew what the tank containers contained before. Until when the three hundred martial arts tournament participants were lined up by the organizers, there were several organizers who swiftly distributed a dark-colored backpack from inside the container to each pa
Opening the contents of the backpack on the beach along with hundreds of other participants was a foolish act if Richard were to do it. Considering that the committee mentioned that the tournament has already taken place, it was certain that he would become an easy target from the hundreds of participants if he were to stay there.Therefore, with swift movements, Richard quickly slipped away from the crowd of participants busy checking the contents of their backpacks. Richard's quick movements even went unnoticed by Hazelle King. It made Hazelle King wonder whether his younger brother's agility had significantly improved or if his own vigilance had Deteriorated."Such as impudent sibling!" Hazelle King clenched his fists, his face filled with annoyance but his eyes sharply scanning into the depths of the forest. With equally agile movements, Hazelle broke through the commotion happening on the beach.Meanwhile, inside the forest, Richard was calmly sitting on the highest branch of a R
The full moon was perched in the sky, radiating a dim light along with thousands of stars surrounding it. The faint glow filtered through the gaps in the Rosewood tree leaves, creating illuminated patches within the otherwise pitch-black forest.As the wind swayed the branches and leaves, a play of light and darkness unfolded at various spots within the woods. Perhaps it was this sight that eventually caused Richard's eyes to slowly open. It began with squinting, then a gradual widening, until they were slightly open.The habit of being alert then made Richard reflexively get up from a lying position to a sitting position. He sharpened his senses of sight and hearing simultaneously to digest the situation that had confused him."Boss, thank goodness you're awake."A woman's voice touched Richard's ears, making him blink his eyes to see the woman who approached him hurriedly.Before Richard could open his eyes again, a hard punch hit his head."Damn foolish boy!"'That voice....' Richa
In a hurry, Henry rushed to Judith's party. Henry was worried about his wife who might be being bullied by many people. However, when he had just arrived at Judith's wedding hall, Henry was met with scorn and contempt from his parents-in-law. “Wow ... well, it turns out that you brave to come here! Where's your shame?" asked Catherine while sneered at Henry. “I'm sorry, Mom. I think, I have a right to come here.” Henry answered trying behave friendly up front of the public. "What exactly does Lily expect from you? You are poor and have no job. You see this man beside me? He is Albert Brown, he has always liked Lily!" said Jacob, Catherine's husband. Henry looked at Albert, he knew Albert Brown. The man who is almost the same age as Jacob is indeed very rich. However, he already had two wives. "Would you like to make Lily your third wife?" Henry asked. “Hey, nothing wrong if he makes Lily become his third wife! The most important thing is that Lily can live properly. Look at you…
Meanwhile at Judith's wedding, Lily Wilson walked slowly into the party room. The luxurious building that Judith's family had rented looked so elegant and beautiful. Lily took a deep breath as if gathering strength and courage to face the people there. "Hi Lily, how are you? I thought you wouldn't dare come to this party!” Lily took a deep breath then exhaled slowly and put a sweet smile on her lips before she turned her body. “Hi, Jasmine. I am doing fine. You seem quite healthy and look fresh.” Jasmine smiled sweetly, she was her sister-in-law. “Of course I'm healthy and fresh. All of that is because I do routine body care,” Jasmine replied in a tone scoffed a little. Lily could only hold tightness in her chest. She had suspected this before. Since she married Henry, she always became the butt when she met her extended family. “Ah, yes. lately I rarely get treatment because I'm busy," Lily said while sitting on a chair. Jasmine who took the seat beside Lily squeaked. "Busy or yo
"Honey, finally I got accepted for a job interview!" cried Henry happily. He just got a call for a job interview at Bizzare Group. Henry was of course very happy, after sending out dozens of job applications, only this time a company called him for a job interview. "Look, they even mentioned in the email that I've been hired and just need to come for an interview as a formality!" Lily rushed to hug her husband, it was the first good news she heard even after two years of her marriage with Henry James. "We should celebrate your acceptance into the company, Honey! Congratulations, I know you can do it!” Henry James and Lily Wilson have been married for two years. Henry was actually an adopted son in the Wilson family. He is hated by the entire Wilson family except for Lily. Lily and Henry fell in love each other and they decided to get married, even though the marriage did not actually have the blessing from Lily's family. "Yeah, you can talk to your mom. Tell him that his son-in-la

When Richard and Daisy arrived in Roxburgh, all the important figures in the big city came to the airport to welcome them. The prominent figures in Roxburgh bowed in respect, leaving bystanders perplexed, trying to guess the background of the person who had just disembarked from the plane. Daisy linked her arm with Richard's, expressing how happy she was to be by her husband's side. When they arrived at their luxurious mansion, Daisy and Richard found a pile of gifts flooding the front yard. Richard immediately contacted Wendy Adams, asking her to distribute the pile of gifts to those in need. Once everything was settled, Daisy said to her husband as she collapsed onto the bed, "Finally, it's all over... Ah... I want to rest." Richard glanced at Daisy and then grinned mischievously, "Who said you can rest?" "Huh?" Daisy swallowed her words as Richard suddenly approached her. Richard stared at Daisy with a lustful gaze while unbuttoning his shirt one by one. Seeing his well-buil
Richard and Daisy had arrived at the party room several minutes before the event began. Since not many guests had arrived yet, Daisy didn't suspect that the evening's party would be attended by dozens of heads of state and hundreds of world conglomerates.As they enjoyed wine and small snacks, Richard's eyes caught a surprising sight. He saw two women acting brashly. Richard almost choked, but his lips curled into a wicked smile. For the first time, he felt his father's actions were somewhat useful.Seeing the two women now approaching to his direction, Richard whispered to Daisy, "I need to use the restroom, enjoy everything you want."Richard left abruptly, while Daisy didn't pay much attention to her husband's departure because her gaze was fixed on a group of people sitting at the same round table."Aren't their faces familiar?" Daisy thought. She furrowed her brow as she tried to focus her gaze again. "Aren't they... They are... Presidents from various parts of the world!" Daisy
The day was still early as Richard stepped out of the car and walked towards the courtyard of his late mother's castle. Upon arriving in the castle courtyard, a reflex smile formed on Richard's lips as he saw Daisy teaching Alexander King how to plant flowers.When Daisy caught sight of her husband, her face lit up with joy. Her hand waved, inviting Richard to join in the flower planting."No, thank you. That's not my thing," Richard responded to Daisy's invitation. "I'll head inside; just finish up your activity," Richard added as he walked towards the castle. It had been a long time since he visited his late mother's residence."My dear daughter-in-law, I will be heading back. Meet your husband. And, don't forget to tell him about the small dinner event I'll be hosting tonight." Alexander King removed his gloves and bid farewell, heading back to the main castle.Daisy furrowed her brow as there was a crucial point that surprised her. "Father hasn't informed Richard about the dinner?
Despite the incident of Richard's attack on Alexander King, the funeral procession for Hazelle King continued solemnly. Fallen maple leaves adorned Hazelle's funeral procession that evening.One by one, the attendants left, leaving only two individuals in the Heavenly Dragon family cemetery: Richard Forger and Alexander King. Initially, Alexander King seemed to want to leave the gravesite first, but Richard's words stopped him in his tracks."Why did you choose me to be the heir of Heavenly Dragon throne?" Richard asked without turning towards his father.Alexander King stood still, lost in thought, both now facing away from each other.As Alexander King remained silent, Richard continued, "You underestimated your eldest son, Old Man. Hazelle was far more worthy to inherit Heavenly Dragon. I must admit, your decision was truly foolish!"A faint smile crossed Alexander King's lips. "Do you truly wish to know my reason for choosing you?"Richard laughed and then scoffed. "Tell me, I wan
The loud explosion that had just echoed in Daisy's ears originated from the main Heavenly Dragon colossal castle. More precisely, it came from the castle's front yard. Not only did Daisy hear it once, but she and Rock also heard a series of explosions. However, Rock did nothing at all except let it happen, as he could already guess what was transpiring in the Heavenly Dragon castle yard. !! Alexander King's body was slammed against the wall of the Heavenly Dragon castle, causing severe damage to the wall upon impact. Due to the force of his body hitting the wall so strongly, loud explosions resounded each time Alexander King's body collided with the castle wall. Stones and dust were thrown into the air. Destruction followed destruction as Alexander King's body was thrown against the wall repeatedly. No one dared to intervene in what was happening to Alexander King, as he had instructed his troops not to interfere. "Hazelle died because of you, you Old Bastard!" Richard yelled as h
