Wilbur slowly lifted his head and looked towards Richard. Not long after, he averted his gaze and lowered his head again, saying, “Honorable War God! My status is very low. I do not dare to look at you directly!”Hahahaha... So funny!A father could not look his son in the eye. He didn’t even recognize his own son’s voice.Wilbur and Reginald knew that Richard was part of the military world. They both just thought Richard was useless and at most a B-class soldier.Moreover, Richard’s identity was classified as SSS level secret. Only a few people in Rio Dio Country knew that he was the true war god.“War God, time is up!” said Arthur while checking his watch.Richard looked at them all and said, “All gifts have been received, so please go home!”“Understood!” As they were about to step away, suddenly Richard thought of something.Before long, he walked closer to Wilbur and patted the older man’s shoulder. He said, “I heard that you have a good child in the Dwayne family. If there is
The morgue! A corpse!The sound pierced the old man’s heart like thousands of sharp thorns. The overwhelming emotions within him made his chest rise and fall rapidly. The old man named Alexander suddenly stood up. Without saying a word, he kicked the mayor, who was kneeling in front of him. His voice, full of authority, made the entire villa tremble.“Head servant, we are going to the hospital!”“Mr. Deva, if anything bad happens to my granddaughter in Almolia City, I will not stay silent. You better be prepared to sacrifice a few lives in return!” The mayor’s heart raced uncontrollably upon hearing those words. He nearly fainted. He struggled to stand, albeit unsteadily, then quickly grabbed the car keys and hurried after Alexander, who was already heading to the hospital. A line of black cars sped toward People’s Hospital. Alexander sat in the passenger seat. His red eyes stared blankly at the road ahead. At that moment, he felt immense guilt and fear.“Blame me. It’s all my fa
The crematorium room.Simon noticed the old man’s gaze. Instantly his heart beat erratically. So fast that his body was shaking.“What do you want to do? You guys suddenly barged into the hospital. Without saying anything you immediately made a scene like this. Believe it or not, I’m calling and reporting the police right now!” said Simon.Alexander did not look afraid of Simon’s threat at all. His eyes were still staring fixedly at the crematorium sign.Then he asked the nurse in a cold tone, “Are there any bodies being cremated today?”“Y-y-yes,” the nurse answered hesitantly.Simon, who was already very panicked, immediately blocked Alexander. Then the man said angrily. “If there is, why? If there isn’t, why? This is a hospital. It’s not a place where you can act as you please! If you want to find someone, you can talk to me. I can help you.”Alexander’s superior gaze slowly fell on Simon. “Who are you?” asked the old man.“I am the deputy director of this hospital, Simon Nelsons,”
Heart-wrenching screams echoed from the crematorium furnace. The sound sent chills down the spines of everyone present.“Help me, Director! Help me! Argh!!!” Simon screamed as loudly as he could. The man’s body was engulfed in blazing flames. Inside, he rolled around without stopping, screaming in agony. His blistered skin brought a level of pain he had never experienced before, as though his internal organs were tearing apart.It was a pain so unbearable that death seemed preferable. Rather than endure such excruciating pain, it was better to just die. Meanwhile, the hospital’s president director stood frozen in place out of fear. He did not dare openly provoke a group of madmen. All he could do was quietly take out his phone with trembling hands to call the police. Alexander squatted down, tears streaming down his face. The old man gently embraced his granddaughter’s cold body. His face was turned directly toward the furnace door. With a choked voice, he called out his granddaugh
At that moment, Elvan’s eyes were fixed on a helicopter flying a hundred meters above the ground. The helicopter was heading toward the Nelsons Family’s house at top speed.The man immediately got out of his car, staring intently at the helicopter. Overcome with emotion, he began to cry and said, “Mr. Richard? Is that you, Mr. Richard? Have you really come back?”In just a single day, Elvan had received news that Raylon was missing. Then he also heard about Mario’s disappearance. With no leads on either of them, he received yet another report—this time, Tevoris was missing too.It seemed like everyone close to Aurora had vanished overnight. Elvan had no other choice. He was terrified that he might be the next to disappear. Thus, he could only muster the courage to contact Richard.Not long after, the helicopter landed right before Elvan’s eyes. Emerging from the cabin was a bloodthirsty figure whose aura seemed to freeze the air around him. The man did not look at Elvan at all. He rem
The men tasked with carrying the coffin did not dare to defy Richard’s orders. Soon, before their eyes, the coffin lid was forcefully pushed open.At that moment, all the members of the Nelsons Family collectively held their breath. All eyes were anxiously fixed on Richard’s face.They watched as his expression suddenly changed. The flatness of his face and his usual gaze were abruptly replaced by shock. He could barely stand upright.“Aurora... Aurora...”Immediately, everyone leaned forward anxiously to see what was inside the coffin, and they were equally shocked.They remembered that when the villa’s security managed to extinguish the fire, the burns on the body were not too severe. The scalp and face were still visible.But why was the face now completely unrecognizable? It had been burned down to the bone.Everyone wore expressions of shock and horror. Only Dharia remained standing, maintaining her usual demeanor, and began to rage.“Richard, are you satisfied now? Are you satis
“But in the end, today turned out to be a problem like this. Even Uncle Raylon has disappeared....” Elvan said.However, in Richard’s mind, the news about Aurora getting married suddenly echoed. He no longer heard Elvan’s other words.He narrowed his eyes and stood up hurriedly. Then he grabbed the collar of Elvan’s shirt and growled, “What did you say? Aurora is getting married? Who is she marrying?”“Mr. Richard?” Elvan’s face paled in shock. He then said, confused, “Isn’t she marrying you?”“Two days ago, Uncle Raylon even went to the Nelsons Family’s house to give Aurora a wedding dress. But after that, Uncle Raylon never came back,” Elvan said.He was marrying Aurora. The Nelsons Family’s house. After going there, he never returned.This series of strange events made Richard’s head feel heavy. His thoughts were now like a tangled thread. However, gradually, a bad premonition began to arise in his mind. He glanced at Aurora’s grave for a moment. Shaking his head, he said in disbe
In Aunt Lenci’s eyes, the video playing on Richard’s phone reflected the scene captured by the CCTV cameras in the villa complex. It clearly recorded a group of people wearing plain clothes and masks. They removed a body from a car and then set the villa on fire.Aunt Lenci was momentarily speechless. She stared at Richard, her lips trembling as she struggled to explain. “M-Mr. Richard. P-please forgive me. I did this because I felt powerless. I still have elderly parents and children at home. I couldn’t say anything, Mr. Richard.”However, Richard showed no compassion for her. The man immediately grabbed Aunt Lenci by the throat and asked fiercely, “Now tell me, who are the people in the video?”“They were wearing masks. I didn’t see their faces.” Aunt Lenci truly did not recognize the perpetrators. But from the sounds at the time, she could vaguely guess that they were none other than Dharia and the others.Aunt Lenci thought that even if she said nothing, Richard would not do anyth
“Then why are you afraid that Richard will find Aurora? Isn’t it because of your own actions? Why are you hiding this from Richard?”Her words carried a different tone, sending a chill through Elena’s body. The woman spoke with a friendly smile, yet her meaning was sharp.Elena lifted her head and glared at the woman. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”“How could I be afraid of Mr. Richard finding Aurora? If Aurora returns, I would be the happiest person, more than anyone else!”Upon hearing Elena’s inconsistent response, the woman smiled with satisfaction. Others might be deceived by her words, but not her.“Mrs. Elena, we are on the same side. So, why are you still pretending? You don’t want Aurora to return, do you?” the woman said with a smile.“Mrs. Elena, I’m just like you; I don’t want her back. So, why don’t we work together so that Aurora will never return to Richard’s embrace? After all, Richard won’t suspect you of Aurora’s disappearance!”“Then, won’t you be t
With Ashren’s skills in computer networking and the internet, the woman believed that Ashren could find Aurora. She smiled confidently at him.Meanwhile, Ashren clenched his fists tightly to hold back his anger and asked, “What do you want from Miss Aurora? What will you do to her?”“How did you know there’s a chip in Miss Aurora’s pendant? Who are you really?”Without further ado, the woman pointed at a photo on her phone screen and said, “Mr. Ashren, none of that matters. Your daughter’s life and safety are the most important, aren’t they?”“Don’t even think about playing games with me, especially telling Richard!”“Take this phone wherever you go!”“I’ll monitor your every move, even at the hotel. If I notice anything unusual, your daughter’s life will be in danger. I give you one day to find Aurora’s location!”The smile on the woman’s face was bright and soft. Her tone was calm. But truthfully, she was cruel and cold-blooded.She turned and walked away.Meanwhile, Ashren stood fr
“Is there no representative from the medical field of Rio Dio Country? Is our medical science garbage? Doesn’t Mr. Richard deserve to be at level S?”Yes!In recent decades, medical skills have indeed been the weakest aspect of Rio Dio Country. Even in every international medical competition, they can’t even make it to level A. The best they can do is reach level B.Countries all over the world use this fact to mock Rio Dio Country—mocking it as a country full of weak people, mocking it as a country with incompetent doctors, even mocking Rio Dio Country to the point of destroying the morale of its people so that its medical science can no longer develop.This long-standing humiliation has made the doctors of Rio Dio Country both angry and anxious. But because of their own lack of ability, in the end, they could only accept it.And now, Richard has finally set a record. He has received an invitation to level S. This is something that has never happened before.Because of that, other co
The little girl thought that if Aurora continued to be treated this way, she would eventually die. She didn’t understand what had possessed the cruel people’s minds, to the point where they were determined to kill her, even treating Aurora in such a sadistic way. The hatred growing in the little girl’s mind was now stronger than the hatred she had felt in the medical room.At that moment, Aurora was the only person standing firm before her, even though they had only met once. Aurora was even willing to endure cruel torture just to protect her.No!She couldn’t let Aurora be tortured. She wanted to escape.“No! I don’t know!”“I really don’t know, little girl. I haven’t seen her!” Aurora said, her eyes glaring at Zena.While they were distracted, she quietly glanced at the little girl who had been watching her with great fear. Aurora gave a signal with her eyes, as if to say, ‘Don’t come out! Stay quiet!’Realizing this, the little girl’s tears suddenly fell. She quickly pressed her mo
Impossible! There’s no way she escaped on her own. But who? Who had the guts to take her? Especially now, when everyone is training. There’s no way someone could just sneak in and take the girl without anyone noticing. Impossible!“Wait... Is Rora still there?” Zena asked with a sharp gaze.“Yes, coach, she seems to still be there! Coach, is something wrong? Don’t suspect Rora, because she...”Before she could finish her sentence, Zena grabbed the dagger from her waist and quickly headed toward the dorm with fast steps. She had a strong suspicion about Rora.Turns out, Zena’s guess was right!When she arrived to find the little girl, just before entering Aurora’s room, Aurora had already noticed the presence of the bad people. Without hesitation, she jumped out the window and ran into the next room.Inside, Aurora asked, “You’re still a child, why did you come here?”“Were you kidnapped? Why did they kidnap you?” Aurora asked the little girl.But the girl suddenly lowered her head, ma
The Man shouted, “Damn!”“Boss, who are these two people? How did they find our place?” asked Zena, then quickly pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the two individuals.The Man who was Zena’s Boss, was standing beside her, panicked and said, “Zena, put down your gun!”Everyone was shocked by this warning. But it didn’t end there, as they were even more surprised when they saw The man quickly approach Richard.“Mr. Richard, what brings you here?” The Man asked with a smile on his face. Mr. Richard?Hearing and witnessing how his boss was being polite to the young man, Zena froze for a moment. She then looked closely at Richard’s face. Who is he? Could he be the new head trainer? Or perhaps he’s the one who has been searching for Aurora all this time. This is bad!Richard smiled and replied, “Oh, so this place belongs to you?”“I heard that the daughter of a friend of mine was taken by your people. Since you’re the one responsible here, this should be easy to resolve. Now, hand her ove
Fenrick’s mouth suddenly felt stiff. He wanted to tell Richard the truth, but he just couldn’t. He had made a promise to someone that this secret would follow him to the grave.“No! I’m not afraid to die. I’m really not afraid to die,” Fenrick said, his eyes red with emotion. “At that time, I was completely powerless. I had no other choice, and I couldn’t escape.”“Mr. Richard, I beg for your help. I only have one daughter, just one. It’s impossible for me not to care about her.”Vaguely, Richard recalled the moment when enemies stormed the place. Fenrick had shielded Roderick, his grandfather, with his body, standing firm in front of him. And now, he was kneeling before Roderick’s grandson, humbling himself and lowering his pride to plead for help.Realizing this, Richard was moved and didn’t want to stand idly by.“Get up!” Richard said, helping Fenrick to his feet. “Tell me what’s really going on. How are you sure your daughter has been taken by someone?”Fenrick looked into Richar
Richard gazed deeply into Elena’s eyes and asked, “If I’m not looking for someone like Aurora, then what kind of person should I be looking for?”“Mr. Richard! Your future wife should be a woman who can match you. At the very least, she needs to be strong and have good self-defense skills. That way, you can feel at ease even if you leave her alone. You won’t need to worry or keep looking over your shoulder.” “And most importantly, she must be trustworthy and capable of being your right hand.”Hearing this, Richard smiled and asked curtly, “For example?”“Like...” Elena smiled shyly, twirling her hair. But as soon as she lifted her eyes and saw Richard’s gaze, she couldn’t finish her sentence. Startled, she quickly turned her face away, guilt washing over her. She no longer dared to meet Richard’s eyes directly.“If you’re truly concerned about me, just tell me where she is, rather than listing her inability to defend herself and other shortcomings. I know her better than you do.”Thi
Aurora, still not fully recovered from the shock of the earlier events, lay on her wooden bed. She stared coldly at Zena, who met her gaze with the same intensity of hatred in her eyes.“The snake in that dark room was definitely venomous. How could you survive without being poisoned?! Tell me! Who are you really? What is your purpose in infiltrating this secret base?!” Zena demanded, her eyes narrowing.Aurora’s respect for the woman in front of her vanished entirely. She answered Zena’s questions with a frigid tone, “Are you upset because I didn’t die?”Smack!Zena slapped Aurora hard across the face, shouting, “Rora! Watch your attitude with me! I am your trainer!”“You don’t deserve to be called my trainer!” Aurora retorted, laughing sarcastically at Zena. At first, she had obeyed all of Zena’s commands, never daring to challenge her authority.But who would have thought that Zena’s behavior toward her would grow increasingly cruel? She berated and beat her mercilessly, culminatin
