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
“Dharia, if you do this, Richard won’t let you go. He won’t let you go!” Aurora said firmly, even though she was trapped by Reginald Dwayne.“He won’t let me go? Hahaha...” Dharia mocked.“Do you think when Arthur comes back, he’ll forgive Richard?” Dharia asked again.“Aurora, let me tell you this! Starting today, I will make sure you and Richard experience something more painful than death! You both have to pay for what you did to me!” Dharia said while glaring sharply at Aurora, then winking at Reginald.Holding Aurora’s arm, Reginald led her step by step toward the Nelsons Family home.The old house was eerily quiet, and it looked like no one was inside.At this moment, Aurora could only walk in resignation.Suddenly...“Stop! Let Miss Aurora go!”Their spirited footsteps were suddenly interrupted by Raylon’s voice from a distance. Aurora looked up and saw him approaching unexpectedly. “Mr. Raylon, quickly contact the underground big boss, call Richard, hurry!” Aurora’s panicked
The Nelsons Family was instantly shocked. They quickly ended the call and turned off their phones.Seeing the despair on Aurora’s face, Dharia looked very pleased. “Can you still ask for help? Besides that garbage Richard, who else will help you, huh?” “The shameless woman playing with her ex-brother-in-law, I will give you something for being so rude to me.”After saying that, Reginald and Dharia forcibly dragged Aurora to a room on the second floor, locked the windows and door, and tied Aurora’s hands to the bed.There wasn’t much Aurora could do except stare out the window with a blank expression.No tears were visible, no more expressions of pain; instead, she kept murmuring one word that made her feel strong, “Richard... Richard... Richard...!”“Richard, where are you?”“Richard, I’m scared... I’m very scared... When will you come? Will you save me?”“I’m such a fool, why did I waste you, who has been so good to me!”“Why didn’t I know before that you were the one I’ve been wait
The fake war god who had been captured by the enemy suddenly became terrified, his courage collapsing.Meanwhile, the enemy commander spontaneously looked up and stared intently at the figure in the helicopter cabin doorway.“Hey! Nonsense! Your God of War is right in front of me now! No need to keep claiming to be the God of War!”“What kind of strategy is your headquarters employing? Do you think I’ll be surprised and let go of the helpless man in front of me just because you claim to be the real one? You’re all so foolish! Hahaha...”“Troops, kill him!” he shouted to the soldiers behind him.In an instant, all the weapons were aimed at Richard. Everyone thought that Richard was going to die. There was no way he could escape now!“Bang! Bang! Bang!”The bullets were fired directly at Richard without warning.Watching this, Arthur and the others shouted toward Richard, “Quick, move aside!”“You fool! Do you want to die?”The shouts didn’t faze Richard at all. He remained calm in his
