“You’re really him... For real...” Tears streamed down Aurora’s face instantly. “It’s been 15 years. Finally, you came to see me.”Her feelings were a whirlwind, compounded by everything she had been through over those 15 years. All of it overflowed at once, causing Aurora to lose control. Her entire body trembled from the surge of emotion.Reginald concealed his resentment and wicked plans in his eyes. The man walked slowly until he stood in front of Aurora. Then he pulled her into his embrace. A strange, cold smile spread across his face. “It’s me. I really came to marry you. Let’s get married, Aurora. I can’t wait any longer,” Reginald said.In truth, Aurora wanted to say that she needed to know the man better first. However, the Nelsons Family was impatient and quickly expressed their agreement.That day, Aurora didn’t return to the villa because her grandmother found an excuse for her to stay at the Nelsons Family home.That night, her grandmother knocked on Reginald’s room door
Reginald stared at Aurora with a piercing gaze that made her suppress the urge to contact Richard.“I’m sorry, I got carried away,” Reginald said with a guilty expression, taking a step back.“I just missed you too much. I really, really missed you, which is why I did what I did. You’ll forgive me, right?” he continued, causing Aurora to exhale a sigh of relief.She opened her bedroom door and said, her emotions barely contained, “Get out!”“Okay, okay. I’m leaving now, but please don’t be mad again? I’m sorry for scaring you,” Reginald said, looking deeply into her eyes. His gaze flickered to the phone in her hand before he turned to leave Aurora’s room.After the door closed. Feeling defeated, she threw herself onto the bed, recalling Reginald’s earlier behavior that still made her shiver with fear.At that moment, she remembered Richard. That man would always prioritize her safety first. He would prepare everything meticulously to make her feel secure. Richard would definitely tell
Reginald...That name had not been heard by him for the past three years. Hearing someone say it again in front of him filled his entire being with an aura of coldness and a powerful urge to kill.“What about him?! Isn’t he in prison?!” Richard asked, his expression instantly turning sharp. “Before I disappeared, didn’t I ask number seven to keep an eye on that man in prison?”The face of member number six looked like he was holding back pain, with fresh blood continuously flowing from his mouth. His condition was truly alarming! The man stared intently at Richard.“He... he’s been released... he was freed right when you decided to disappear three years ago. He was released by Mr. Wilbur,” replied member number six. The Mr. Wilbur mentioned in his words was his father.“Mr. Wilbur isn’t really sick. He’s been pretending for the past fifteen years. Your grandfather... probably didn’t die...”“He’s been locked up for fifteen years! You have to help him as soon as possible... And also...
Richard’s right hand, holding a knife, stood before the basement door, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. The effects of the poison began to take hold of his body, making his consciousness waver and a strong urge to sleep creeping in.He clenched his fists, hoping the growing drowsiness would fade. Just as he felt a bit better, a crooked smile appeared on his face, one that felt terrifying.“This poison is nothing! It won’t make me lose my consciousness!”Tap!Richard stepped onto the floor and walked towards the bodyguards. With a firm and loud voice, he called out, startling everyone present, “You! Milton, ranked thirteenth nationally. And you! Alvin, ranked nineteenth nationally. You’re the losers who backed down three years ago. Why did they send fools like you to kill me this time?”The man who had just been kicked by Richard stood up, clutching his sore chest. He stared at Richard intently.“Do you know our identities?” Milton asked, slightly surprised to see that Ri
Creak!The helicopter door swung open, revealing a figure emerging from within. The man was clad in black war god armor and stood about 183 centimeters tall. He descended from the helicopter, wearing a mask that concealed his face. The aura emanating from him was reminiscent of a war god, just as it had been three years ago.Arthur and the others gazed at the man with a mix of admiration and awe. Then, in unison, they saluted the war god, their voices echoing throughout the training grounds.Mr. Clifford stood at the front of the line with several of his subordinates behind him. His eyes were fixed intently on the war god, filled with disbelief. The figure he recognized so well was back after three years of absence!“Finally, you’re back after three years! Good, good!” Mr. Clifford exclaimed, patting Richard on the shoulder.But the next moment, he was left dumbfounded by a single word that slipped from the war god’s lips, causing his mind to go blank.“Sir, it’s an emergency! I need
“Old man.”Yes! These two words! Two words that made Mr. Clifford’s eyes well up with tears until they turned red and watery. Two words that made every hair on his body stand on end!The man quickly turned his head and found a figure wearing casual black clothes with a mask covering part of his face. A crooked smile was visible on the man’s lips.“You brat! Still know how to show up and help me?” he said when he saw that familiar smile. His voice even trembled slightly with happiness.He came! That man came with the same feeling as before! The same smile and greeting as before, unchanged in the slightest!Edwin squinted his eyes, staring at Richard. He had never met the god of war directly, so he automatically didn’t believe that the man in front of him was the real god of war.“I thought there would be a lot of people coming, turns out it’s just this one guy who’s tired of living? You really think you alone can help him?” Edwin said, glaring sharply at Richard.Consumed by emotion, E
Deliza...Aurora’s mother is named Deliza?! Reginald almost fainted when he found out.“Reginald! Where are you going?!” shouted Grandma Nelsons as she turned and saw the man walking toward the staircase pillar, as if searching for something to support his body.“Hurry up and come here! If I can’t get the Nelsons company, don’t expect to get a single penny!”Reginald’s mind drifted at that moment, and his courage to sleep with Aurora vanished entirely. With a blank stare, he entered the room, closed the door, and slumped onto the bed.No one knew the meaning behind that name, not even in the whole Rio Dio country, except for him! During his years of imprisonment, he had met many important and dangerous people or simply heard their names—names even Richard didn’t know.And this woman named Deliza was the daughter of one of these important people in that prison! No one would ever guess the background of this important figure!***Aurora woke up the next morning with a heavy head. But a
The agreement! Is this the agreement letter she was looking for, right?! It turns out it’s here! Was this letter intentionally left for her before her grandfather passed away?“Aurora? Is that you?” Suddenly, a voice broke in, nearly causing the knife in her hand to fall. She gripped the knife tightly, her eyes fixed straight at the door.From outside the room, Reginald’s voice called out to her.“Aurora, is that you in there? Why are you hiding from me? I’m still the same man I was fifteen years ago, and I won’t hurt you.”“Even though I don’t know what happened between you and the Nelsons Family, you have to believe that I won’t hurt you. You can ask for my help, and I will definitely assist you! Okay?”The voice sounded like an oasis in such a situation. If it weren’t for the events of last night, Aurora was sure she would believe what the man was saying. But now, she didn’t trust him at all!The only person she could trust for now was herself!She held her breath, her hands shaki
