Just as Richard finished his sentence, thirteen vehicles belonging to Monolith Group were seen arriving and stopping in front of the Nelsons Family residence. “Th-this... these are all cars from Monolith Group, right?” shouted the onlookers, spotting the ML logo, the emblem of Monolith Group, on the parked cars.“No way!”“Wait! Isn’t that Elvan Winston? How did he get here?” The guests widened their eyes at the sight. Under Elvan’s command, a group of people in black uniforms, which belonged to Monolith Group, began to carry thirteen coffins and walked toward the man.Crash!The black-clad individuals uniformly placed the coffins they were carrying on the floor, right in front of the Nelsons Family and Grandma Nelsons!“Cap Dwayne, the gifts have been delivered!” reported the man while bowing, including Elvan. Their loud and synchronized declaration shocked everyone present, leaving them frozen in place.Dharia started to feel dizzy, her vision spinning as she witnessed the scene.
So quickly, precisely, and without hesitation, the man stopped the heart of another person.“Mom!”Dharia stared wide-eyed at the fresh blood splattered everywhere. She quickly tried to run towards her mother but was stopped by the other Nelsons Family members.“Dharia, don’t go there!”“Mom! Richard! You killed my mom! How dare you kill my mom!” Dharia cried hysterically, tears streaming down her cheeks as she shook her head continuously at the sight of her mother lying on the floor, blood flooding around her.The knife’s slash extended from the top of Carmen’s head down to her chest. The tear caused blood to gush out rapidly, soaking Carmen’s shirt, who lay there with wide-open eyes.Richard stepped on the blood until his shoes were covered with dark red stains. Every floor he walked on bore the imprint of Carmen’s blood. The man smiled as he looked at Dharia, who appeared terrified, seeing the entire Nelsons Family in a frenzy.But that wasn’t enough for him! The life of Carmen alo
“Hahaha! Who do you think you are? Just… just…” The man’s voice faded into a murmur at the end of his sentence as he stared at the familiar mask. The smile on his face vanished, replaced by a pale, rigid expression.Arthur’s eyes widened as he looked at Richard standing in front of him, terrified as if he had encountered the god of death! His whole body went weak and trembled violently, his head shaking uncontrollably from side to side.It can’t be! This is impossible!He could never forget that mask. It was the mask only owned by the god of war! The mask belonging to the idol of all the troops and also of Rio Dio Country! And more importantly, the owner of that mask was its leader!How could Richard be the god of war?!“Impossible! Where did you get that mask?! You can’t be him!” Arthur exclaimed.“No! I don’t believe it! You’re just a worthless man! You can’t be him!” Arthur repeated, his disbelief evident. All this time, he had always thought he was far superior to Richard because
“What about the people from this family? Tch!” Richard sneered, glancing at Arthur, who was sprawled on the floor. He then turned his gaze to Dharia, walking towards her with a knife in hand.“No! Don’t! Don’t come any closer! Arthur! Help me!”“Help me, Arthur! I don’t want to die yet!” Dharia screamed, her voice piercing.“I’m begging you, Richard! Please don’t kill me! I know I’ve been wrong all this time; I—Aaahhh!” Dharia kept backing away, trying to look at Arthur for help. Unfortunately, what she received was a stab wound.The pain pierced deep into her bones, causing Dharia to feel darkness enveloping her. The next moment, she felt warm fluid flowing out from her body.“Help! Richard has gone mad!” the Nelsons Family screamed upon witnessing such a horrific scene. They all moved back, but before they could escape, Richard raised his large knife and began swinging it through the air.In front of Arthur, who was wide-eyed with fear, Richard swung his knife like a madman at all t
Regardless of whether it was out of a sense of responsibility or not, the most important thing was that Richard was determined to go to the detention center in Ligos city to confirm the secret conveyed by member number six before the man died.He hoped that what the man said was indeed true. His grandfather was not dead and had been locked up in detention for fifteen years. “What?! What did you just say?! The Nelsons Family is all dead?!” asked Reginald, who had just received the news.“Richard went to Grandma Nelsons’ birthday as the heir of the Dwayne family and gave a gift of thirteen coffins? Dharia is dead too? Not a single one left?” Reginald repeated the words of the person who informed him of the news.The man momentarily lost his support when he heard this news. He knew Richard was quite cruel, but he never expected him to be that ruthless. What if that man knew he was also involved in what happened to him? “What about Arthur? Isn’t he a Elite warrior and the subordinate of
Reginald thought that as long as Richard was detained in prison, all the wealth and assets owned by the Dwayne family would automatically fall into his hands. Meanwhile, Wilbur believed that Richard’s grandfather had died a long time ago, so there would be no one left to help him.They appeared to be overjoyed, feeling that the marriage between the Dwayne and Skyler families was about to happen, with Reginald as the groom. Unfortunately, they were unaware that the granddaughter of the Skyler family was Aurora.“Aurora, Aurora.” The whispers of someone calling her name echoed in Aurora’s ears, jolting her awake from her bed.“Aurora.” Her grandfather, who had always been alert beside Aurora’s bed, exclaimed joyfully upon seeing her awaken.“Aurora! You finally woke up! You nearly gave Grandpa a heart attack,” her grandfather said.Suppressing the pain and ache in her abdomen, she turned towards the voice, focusing on her grandfather’s face, which was beaming with a wide smile. After th
“Grandpa, please help me find him, okay? I don’t want to marry anyone else but Richard,” Aurora said, worried her grandfather wouldn’t agree with her request. Panicked, she hugged Alexander’s arm and began to sob.“Grandpa, I didn’t agree to come back here. I only wanted to stay at the Nelsons Family residence because of him. We both made a promise fifteen years ago, and I’m certain he will come for me to marry me.”“I’ve gone through so much to find him, and I love him deeply. Please help me, Grandpa,” she pleaded.Alexander was stunned by his granddaughter’s explanation. He wanted to refuse her request, thinking that this man wouldn’t be good enough and couldn’t make his beloved granddaughter happy. He was also sure that the man wouldn’t have the means to help Aurora manage the Skyler family. However, after seeing the pleading look in her eyes, Alexander swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.“I’ll help you find him. But you also can’t rush to reject the man I’ve ch
“Before I was imprisoned, I had helped quite a few people. So, they all feel indebted to me. In addition to recognizing my face, they also know this necklace. So, you must promise me that once your revenge is complete, you will never use this necklace again.”“If my grandson is still alive in this world, you must promise to give this necklace to him,” said the old man as he handed his necklace to Arthur.Arthur accepted the necklace given by his master and gripped it tightly, nodding with determination. He said, “Master, I swear, if your grandson is still alive, I will dedicate my entire life to serving him, to repay your kindness.”The old man saw Arthur’s gaze, filled with gratitude and emotion, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he waved his hand at Arthur and said, “Alright, you can go now.”“If you want to improve your skills, you can go to the Red Phoenix League in Phoenix City and find their chief. I once saved his life, so he will definitely help you.”Arthur had always known
“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
