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 difficult situations, people generally feel that time moves slowly. That's what Wendy Adams was currently experiencing. Every time the night wind rustled the branches and created sounds, Wendy Adams stumbled and trembled intensely out of fear.However, the person Rock D Xebec appointed to guard Richard should not be that fearful type. The sound of branches swept by the wind is nothing to be feared. For a moment, Richard was lost in thought and sensed something strange. What made it even stranger was that he himself was experiencing the sensation of fear and unease that was difficult to control.‘There must something wrong with this forest!' Richard swallowed and took a sitting position. His vision, which had gradually normalized, quickly scanned the surroundings."Boss... you should rest, or...""Shhh..." Richard put his index finger in front of his own mouth, instructing Wendy to be quiet and not make any movements.Wendy Adams took a deep breath and nodded. From Richard's gesture
Sangorufu Forest, midnight...There were four men and one woman who were currently chasing Richard Forger's group. At first, the group of five personnel was performing guard duty on the center of the Sangorufu forest.However, they suddenly changed course and swiftly headed north, aiming to locate Richard Forger's hideout. Judging by their precise movements, it appeared that someone had indeed informed them of Richard's injured whereabouts.With great determination, the five individuals hastened their pace to close the distance with Richard. They were aware that their target was in a weakened state, and they possessed detailed knowledge of the Sangorufu Forest's layout, unlike Richard Forger.As they felt they were drawing nearer to Richard's location, the woman, who was the team captain, paused briefly and glanced back, expressing her delight, "If we eliminate Richard tonight, our team will be promoted!""Captain, did the order to eliminate Richard truly come from the Big Boss?" ques
"Boss, is it just me or do they really look terrified?" Wendy Adams asked Richard after accidentally noticing the fear in the enemies' faces.Richard narrowed his gaze at Wendy as if he was angry with the young woman. "Wendy, don't say that. It will only make them feel ashamed. Have some pity for them."Of course, Wendy and Richard's conversation made the group of enemies feel as if their dignity was being trampled upon.After all, they had always had an image as formidable fighters respected by many people."Damn it! I've never experienced such mistreatment before. I won't let my team be humiliated like this!" the captain muttered as she prepared to launch an attack.The captain's four subordinates nodded simultaneously and shouted in unison, "We are ready to receive orders!"Immediately, Richard waved his hand in the air, gesturing for Wendy to find a safe place."Anyone who dares to touch Wendy will have the honor of choosing their own path to death," Richard threatened in a low bu
Red Skull HeadquartersMid Night***"Red Skull's elite members could easily end Richard King's life. So, why does this foolish tournament have to take place?"The question was uttered by Loki, a newly joined member of Red Skull, having been part of the organization for less than two months.At that time, Loki was assigned the task of guarding a secret laboratory owned by Red Skull. The location of the laboratory was merely thirty kilometers away from Sangorufu Island.Hudson, Loki's companion standing beside him, responded, "Loki, Red Skull possesses power far more than enough to eliminate Richard King. If Red Skull is willing to host this tournament, do you know what it means?"Loki fell silent as he pondered several possibilities. Three seconds later, he shook his head with a bitter smile. "Damn, I'm really curious. Why are you making this complicated? Just answer my question, what's so difficult about it?"Hudson smiled faintly and absentmindedly scratched his non-itchy ear. "I co
Wendy Adams was startled, "As far as I know, there is no Holy Knight member named Logan.""Yes, I am not a member of the Holy Knight. I was ordered to find Richard Forger," replied Logan.Wendy reflexively moved away from Logan's touch. She quickly concluded that Logan seemed to be an enemy targeting Richard's life."Leave before my boss finishes you!" Wendy shouted, trying to give a threat.Of course, Wendy Adams's threat was met with a smile from Logan. Before Wendy could yell at Logan again, two unfamiliar men emerged from the darkness of the Sangorufu forest. Wendy was taken aback once more as she tried to observe the faces of the newcomers.One of the two men was known to Wendy. More precisely, she had just met him a while ago."Lord Hazelle King!" Wendy screamed hysterically, feeling incredibly fortunate that Richard's brother had come at the perfect time. That meant the other man was a colleague of Hazelle King as well.Hazelle nodded and quickly approached Wendy. "Don't worry,
"Are you the one who took care of me?" Initially, Richard narrowed his gaze towards Logan as he removed the acupuncture needles still embedded in his body. "Thank you, if we live long enough, I will repay your kindness," Richard added without waiting for a response from Logan. Observing his patient, who was almost on the brink of death, now looking healthy and fine, Logan realized how much stronger Richard's power level was compared to everyone he had ever encountered. "Logan," Hazelle King called his subordinate as he took a step forward to be closer to Richard. "Leave us alone. I want to have a private talk with my brother." Logan nodded, "Sure, Boss." The first thing Hazelle did was slap Richard's head. "I thought I wouldn't see you breathing again. Damn it!" Rubbing his head, amidst the pain caused by Hazelle King's slap, Richard realized that there was genuine concern in Hazelle's actions. There was no denying that Hazelle had always cared for Richard from the bottom of his h
When Richard heard Hazelle's prediction about Daisy's death, his clenched fist almost struck Hazelle's mouth. Although it was just a prediction, it felt like boiling water was poured over Richard's heart.Seeing the change in Richard's expression, Hammer quickly moved and attempted to kick Richard's arm. Hammer refused to let his master be hit by someone like Richard Forger."How dare you look at my master like that?!" Hammer yelled in anger as he swung his leg with a speed that an ordinary human couldn't possibly block.Just before the kick landed, Richard's right hand had already gripped Hammer's leg. "Uncle Hammer, if your kick had hit my shoulder, Hazelle might have taken your life right then. Fortunately, your attack is still too slow and easily countered."Hearing Richard's words, Hammer's pride felt trampled. He wanted to retaliate with a physical attack, but Hazelle stood up and gave him a stern look."Uncle Hammer, you're not old enough to die, are you?"Hammer fell silent an
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.

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
