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
The corridor lights streamed inside as the prison door opened. A man stood there, scanning the entire room. He slowly descended the stairs, one step at a time.Tap!He stared at the people who were glaring at him and smirked before speaking in a cold tone, “Let me introduce myself first to all of you important people in this country!”“I am the leader of the underground forces, Cap Dwayne! Starting today, I’m also your leader!” Richard declared with an uncompromising tone.This place was the highest-security prison in Ligos city, the main detention facility of Rio Dio Country. The people imprisoned here were also influential and respected figures in the country. Yet today, these important people were being told they’d become subordinates to a mere boy?“HAHAHAHA!”“Nonsense! I’ve never even heard of your name!” shouted a middle-aged man as he stood up, glaring at Richard.“Just the leader of some underground force dares to command us and act so arrogant?! Hey, kid! You have no idea wh
After living in captivity for fifteen years, the man’s face was filled with wrinkles and spots that obscured the aura of authority he once had. He looked at Richard, and Richard returned the gaze.“Why didn’t you fight back when they hit you?” Richard asked, staring deeply into the man’s eyes.“It doesn’t matter. Don’t defend me; I’m fine,” the man replied, his eyes red from hearing the concern in Richard’s voice.Richard felt that the voice was very familiar, something he seemed to recognize well. He had never felt that way about anyone else.“Fight back? What right do you have, huh?! How dare you hit us! Do you know who we are?” shouted a skinny man, standing up and glaring angrily at Richard.“Huh? From the way you talk, it sounds like you all think you’re important?” Richard asked while helping the old man stand up straight.“Of course!” replied the skinny man with a smug laugh. He rubbed his sore chest and stood before Richard, pointing at the people around him while introducing
Reginald’s shout sent a hush over the entire meeting room. They gaped at the arrogant and smug expression on Reginald’s face. Meanwhile, the man’s subordinates had already started dragging the deputy director out of the meeting room.“Reginald! I was appointed directly by Cap Dwayne! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be here now! You’re dreaming if you think I’ll obey your orders! I’ll wait for Cap Dwayne to come back and teach you a lesson! He will definitely return!” shouted the deputy director, his voice booming with anger.The subsidiaries of Monolith Group were located all over the world. If the deputy director was fired, it was likely he would never find a job again in his lifetime. Yet, despite that, he still refused to comply with Reginald’s wishes.“Anyone who still wants to oppose me, please stand up!” Reginald shouted again.“I suggest you all think carefully before making a decision. If you disagree, the stakes are your jobs and futures! So, think again about your families
“What?” Aurora’s eyes widened in disbelief.She looked at the information displayed on her phone screen, and suddenly her mind went blank.Richard... Richard is the heir of the Dwayne family? He is the heir of the Dwayne family?“I suspected it. Yes, I suspected that he was no ordinary person.”“Swiping a bank card to pay 20 billion, then Mr. Raylon Winston even treated him with such respect, and the wealthy people in the cities are scrambling to give him so many fantastic gifts...”Aurora’s eyes suddenly filled with tears. She murmured again, “It turns out he is a very noble person!” “A person like him would want to join the Nelsons Family, even being insulted and ridiculed so brutally, without ever revealing his true identity...”“Grandpa...” Aurora said, immediately grabbing her grandfather’s arm. Tears flowed down her cheeks, but she tried her best to hold them back. She said, “Grandpa, didn’t you say that the parents in the Dwayne family are very good to you?”“Didn’t you also s
