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
Hammer Moriarty stepped back a few steps after witnessing his own son being held captive by Richard. However, when he saw five parts of Richard's body covered in blisters, Hammer smirked.He pointed towards Richard's blistered arm, his lips curling into a sinister smile as he muttered, “Your body has just been exposed to a paralyzing poison. The Red Skull developed this drug for over a decade and subjected it to hundreds of trials. Don't think it won't react, it just seems to take a little time.”!!“Jack, Hammer, and all of you Red Skull members, realize that your greatest talent is only boasting!”Richard swung his left hand as if he were throwing air at Hammer.As a fellow genetically engineered human, Jack immediately realized that Richard had the ability to manipulate material. “Father, find a safe place!” Jack shouted, blinking his eyes rapidly.BAM!A large table flew in front of Hammer. A split second later, the table split into two parts.“Your telekinesis ability is impressi
As a former head of the Heavenly Dragon military division, Hammer Moriarty held a high sense of pride, almost an obsession, for his prestigious rank and reputation. After a long time of walking with his head held high, he was suddenly forced to kneel at the feet of Alexander King, in front of all the members of the Heavenly Dragon.Although the punishment was a consequence of his own wrongdoings, Hammer harbored a deep-seated grudge within him."Richard Forger, there's only one way I would forgive Hazelle King's life," Hammer muttered, a wicked smile on his face, clearly believing that he had the upper hand over Richard.Richard remained silent, waiting for Hammer's next words. A few moments later, Hammer Moriarty extended his index finger toward a ship on the western side with a friendly smile.Richard's heart seemed to be stabbed with a spear as he saw Daisy walking, wearing the same attributes as Hazelle King, escorted by several Red Skull soldiers. Faintly, he saw Daisy's thin smi
As he telepathically communicated with Jack Moriarty, Richard moved forward, dismissing Hazelle's pleas. Hazelle could only beat the sandy surface as he watched his little brother approach Daisy and hand her a knife."Go on... Don't be afraid, don't worry," Richard whispered to his wife, who was currently holding back tears.Daisy accepted the knife from her husband's hand. "Promise me, you won't die because of this," Daisy murmured."Of course not. Do it quickly." Daisy swallowed hard and closed her eyes for a moment. Her hand trembled violently as she prepared to plunge the blade into her husband.!!Fresh blood gushed from Richard's abdomen. Daisy screamed in horror, her hand drenched in blood after thrusting the dagger into her husband's stomach.She apologized and begged Richard to stay alive. "See, it's almost like being bitten by an ant, Daisy. Good job, thank you..." Richard whispered, kissing his wife's hair.Richard stood up again and turned to Hammer. "Look, my wife has car
Jack Moriarty felt that his life was beyond salvation. As he sensed death drawing nearer, he had struck a deal with Richard some time ago. Jack Moriarty agreed to assist Richard to the best of his abilities, and in return, he asked Richard to save Kelly – Jack's beloved, and the fetus in her womb. Richard consented, and thus began their collaboration to find the best solution to save the people they held dear. ‘Jack, quickly convey what you want to say!’ Richard impatiently awaited Jack's telepathic message. However, instead of hearing from Jack, Richard was startled by another voice. "Richard Forger…!" Hammer Moriarty had broken free from his paralysis. His face beamed with satisfaction as he observed Richard's ambition to rescue Hazelle King. "Hey, isn't there a conversation we left unfinished? Did you forget?" Richard turned his gaze toward Hammer Moriarty with a furrowed brow. "Forger, didn't you inquire of me not long ago about the conditions you must fulfill if you want me
Unforeseen by anyone, the sound of gunshot echoed from the direction of the ship where Richard was tending to Hazelle and Daisy. Richard's worry intensified upon hearing Daisy's cry accompanying the gunshot.Considering that the sound of gunfire never signaled anything positive, Richard swiftly propelled himself onto the ship where Daisy and Hazelle were located.True enough, when Richard reached the ship's deck, he was met with the sight of Daisy and Hazelle drenched in blood. Richard's heart seemed to halt as he beheld the gaping red hole in Hazelle King's chest.Despite Hazelle's serene smile, Richard rushed to Hazelle’s side as he lay on the ship's deck."Hazelle tried to shield me, Richard... He's wounded because of me... It's my fault..." Daisy's head hung low, almost touching the ship's floor. Her tears burst forth, laden with guilt towards Hazelle and Richard."Daisy..." Hazelle shook his head, gazing at his sister-in-law as if conveying a message for Daisy not to feel burdene
Slowly, the sun descended in tandem with Hazelle King's passing. Amidst the atmosphere of mourning, Richard sent a telepathic message to the Red Skull forces, urging them to swiftly retreat from the island of Sangorufu. It wouldn't be long before a bomb on the island unleashed a substantial shockwave.Seconds before the massive explosion rocked Sangorufu, several Red Skull naval vessels had managed to distance themselves from the impending blast, including Richard's vessel, which he had controlled from the outset to steer away from Sangorufu.Unfortunately, other vessels were less fortunate, caught within the devastating impact of the detonation. Passengers aboard those ships screamed as they were flung into the sea. Burning debris from the vessels scattered across the ocean's surface, hindering the victims' efforts to save themselves.Fortunately, a short while later, an evacuation team led by Tom Haley arrived on the scene. Having received reports of an earthquake on Sangorufu, Tom
Not only rescued the Red Skull members who were almost drowned in the sea, Tom Haley's forces also discovered Rock bound on one of the Red Skull's ships. Once Rock was freed, he swiftly contacted Alexander King, who was in Manoko, to inform him about Richard and Daisy's impending arrival."I already know. Including Hazelle's death, I'm aware of it."That were the words spoken by Alexander King when Rock managed to reach him. At that moment, Alexander King hung up the phone with Rock and continued sipping green tea while gazing at the dark sky from his balcony.One by one, the family he loved had passed away. Only Richard remained, but Richard had chosen to step out of Alexander King's family lineage."How ironic..." Alexander King mumbled, as if he were mocking his own life. Despite it all, he savored the quietude of that night while awaiting the arrival of his son's body.By then, the day was transitioning into evening as the ship carrying Richard and Daisy docked at the port of Mano
