The sprawling Sangorufu forest was home to colossal Rosewood trees, their sheer presence causing the sunlight to falter, unable to breach into the deep forest. Unsurprisingly, the atmosphere that afternoon retained a somber quality, with a pervasive chill gripping every corner of the woods.

However, Richard Forger felt another chill that slowly crept into his bones. As for the piercing cold, Richard was able to tolerate it. However, there was something else that made his heart beat fast. Pieces of memories suddenly appeared in Richard's head, coming one after another. The sound of crying echoed coupled with the deafening sound of screaming.

It was all Richard's own voice when he was six years old.

Heavenly Dragon Castle, Manoko.

Richard King was running down the castle hallway to get to his brother's training room.

"Hazelle, you've been practicing for hours. Now it's time for us to play..."

Six-year-old Richard King was whining and clutching Hazelle's legs as he practiced his fenc

    Both young Richard and young Hazelle had no clue about the incident that was unfolding that night. What was clear was that both of their mothers continued to cry, although this time, their sobs were not as loud as before. "Father, what is actually happening?" Hazelle asked Alexander King, as his mother could only cry even when Hazelle asked her question. Alexander King shook his head and then raised his chin forward. "We will arrive at the hall shortly, just be patient a little longer." Richard remained silent, in the past few days, both his father and mother had been extremely busy with their 'work'. Even when Richard mentioned wanting his parents to attend his birthday celebration, the head servant informed him that Alexander King and Lyssa Forger were dealing with urgent matters. When Richard asked the head servant about what matter could make his parents ignore their child's birthday, the head servant replied that Alexander King and his two wives were fighting for their sons' '

    No one dared to answer Hazelle's question. Even until the next day, when Hazelle and Richard were taken into the Heavenly Dragon Laboratory, neither Lumine nor Lyssa intended to provide an answer. It felt too painful for a mother to say that their son was on a journey to meet death."We'll be okay, right, Hazelle? You were the one who told me that, remember?" Richard whimpered as they both entered the laboratory room.Unlike Hazelle's calming response the night before, this time he pushed Richard's hand away with an angry expression. And from that day on, Richard never heard Hazelle speak again."Hello, I'm Neil, and I'll be accompanying you here," greeted a young man who was the chief scientist at the Heavenly Dragon Laboratory. Neil welcomed Richard and Hazelle with a somewhat forced smile.However, Neil couldn't bear the fact that his genetic engineering experiment hadn't been entirely perfected. But the bad rumors outside had already caused a stir, and Alexander King wasn't given

    The Red Skull Laboratory became incredibly busy when news of Richard Forger's resurgence of power spread. Finally, what had been a great hope for Hammer Moriarty was about to come true.After a long time of Hammer Moriarty treating himself like trash within the Alexander King family, he now had a chance to turn the tables. If his plan succeeded this time, he could easily destroy the Heavenly Dragon."Young Master Hazelle, considering that our presence on the Sangorufu Island has been rejected by your brother, what if we go somewhere else? I want to introduce you to Jack Marshal," Hammer Moriarty, still on the edge of Sangorufu Island, made an offer to Hazelle.Upon hearing the name Jack Marshal mentioned by Hammer, Hazelle nodded without hesitation. Jack Marshal was the youngest scientist of the Heavenly Dragon and the only disciple of Neil who survived after the destruction of the Heavenly Dragon laboratory. At that time, to fix the situation, Alexander King disbanded the Heavenly Dr

    The threat just uttered by Richard had deeply humiliated Jack Marshal. He stormed out of his room, preparing to go to the southern beach of Sangorufu. However, as he stepped out of his room, one of the Red Skull members rushed up to him, looking flustered."Boss, we found something unusual..." said Chena, Jack's subordinate responsible for monitoring the Sangorufu forest from a distance.Despite his mounting anger, Jack tried to control his temper as he looked at the tablet screen shown by Chena. There was indeed something amiss."No seismic activity whatsoever around the mud lake, even some time after Ginny Torres provoked Richard's rage, Boss," Chena said, pointing at his tablet screen.Jack Marshal swallowed hard, recalling from Neil's stolen journal that there were certain signs when a mutant had opened the gate of awakening. The most common sign was the release of energy that caused a tremendous shockwave around the mutant's body, it would destroy solid objects nearby.Meanwhile,

    "Boss, witnessing how great you are now, why do I feel pity for your enemies?"In response to Wendy's words, Richard flicked the girl's head and muttered, "Watch your words, Wendy. The sentence you just said could frighten Red Skull members. It makes me even more sympathetic to them, truly."Of course, Richard ended his sentence with a wicked smile, hoping that his expression would also be seen by the Red Skull members.Meanwhile, at the central headquarters of the Red Skull, the conversation between Wendy and Richard Forger could be heard throughout the headquarters.Upon realizing that Richard Forger's side was actually pitying them, several Red Skull members swallowed their saliva and exchanged glances, trying to imagine the extent of the power possessed by the rare mutant they were about to face.‘Should I pretend to faint so I don't have to participate in capturing Richard Forger on Sangorufu Island?’ thought one of the Red Skull members who began to doubt their side's strength.

    That day would be the most historic day for Hammer Moriarty. Finally, after waiting for the right moment for so long, Hammer Moriarty would have the opportunity to kill Alexander King's son. After the success of this assassination plan, the Red Skull's grand agenda was to attack the Heavenly Dragon. According to Hammer's prediction, Alexander King would be easier to defeat when he mourned the death of his heir."Over a decade ago, I, who held the highest position in the Heavenly Dragon's military division, had to kneel at Alexander King's feet and beg for his forgiveness. I have never forgotten how humiliated I felt then!"On the ship heading to the southern shores of Sangorufu, Hammer reminisced about the chaotic times following the destruction of Neil's laboratory.Over a decade ago, when Hammer's accusations against Alexander King proved unfounded, young Richard pleaded to his father to execute Hammer Moriarty. Alexander King almost agreed to Richard's request, but at the same time

    Of course, Richard's response left Jack Marshal offended. Without any signal, the Jack Marshal in front of Richard swiftly launched a kick toward Richard's temple."Both of you, step aside!" Richard gently pushed Ginny and Wendy to the side. Their bodies shot apart from each other at high speed due to the strong force, but neither Ginny nor Wendy were injured by the powerful shove.Meanwhile...BAM!The kick from Jack Marshal in front of Richard struck his left temple, causing Richard's body to be pushed to the right with considerable force. However, from the right side, the other Jack Marshal that was behind Richard also executed the same kick, but aimed at Richard's right temple, pushing his body to the left.The collision of energy from the kicks of the two Jack Marshals occurred. Shockwaves erupted as the two kicks met. If the target of the two Jack Marshals had been a steel pole, it would undoubtedly have shattered into pieces after receiving such powerful attacks simultaneously.

    Dozens of Red Skull troop ships had arrived in the shallow waters off the coast of Sangorufu Island, specifically on the southern beachside. As soon as the Red Skull troop ships anchored on the shoreline, the commanders swiftly descended from the ships, followed by the hundreds of subordinates they led.Within seconds, the victory cheers echoed as the Red Skull soldiers marched in formation and briskly headed towards the location of Richard Forger. They seemed as if they were brought here to break Richard's spirit. Once Richard was overwhelmed by despair, realizing he couldn't possibly fight back, they would proudly capture him and take him to the Red Skull’s headquarter."I've been waiting for moments like this for a long time..." one of the men dressed in crimson black robes, leading the front of the Red Skull forces, remarked.The man wasn't alone; he walked side by side with another man with blonde hair. The two men in crimson black robes strode at the forefront, exuding an air of

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

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.

    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
