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
“What secret?”“Don’t keep us in suspense!” said the woman in the knee-length skirt.Seeing everyone there looking eager and curious, Reginald laughed for a moment. “What are you laughing at?”“I’m laughing at you because you’re all so foolish!” Reginald said, sweeping his gaze over all the suddenly arrived people. “I’m laughing at you because you’re naïve!” Reginald continued, followed by another laugh.The people looked offended. One of them spoke up loudly, staring cynically into Reginald’s eyes, “What do you mean? Just tell us what the secret is!”Reginald walked slowly and casually, enunciating each word as if he were reciting a poem. In fact, he was an orphan sold by his family and brought into the Dwayne family!“So, I am the real young master of the Dwayne family!”“My grandfather, whom you call the head of the Dwayne family, has never mentioned my name because he feared there would be people who would target and harm me.” “Because of this opportunity, that scoundrel Richard
The body that was buried wasn’t Aurora’s? No way!Richard, deep in thought about how to get to the archives, suddenly looked up as if he had just heard the most important thing in his life. He eagerly asked while tugging at Elvan’s shirt collar, “What do you mean? The charred body isn’t Aurora’s? Where is Aurora? Answer my question, quickly!”Elvan nodded in panic. “Yes, sir! That body isn’t Miss Aurora’s.”“The forensic doctor has examined it multiple times. And the fact is, that body belongs to a young girl from that family.”Suddenly, Richard was hit by a wave of anxiety and confusion. He slowly loosened his grip on Elvan’s collar.The person buried wasn’t Aurora...Then where is Aurora? Is she dead or alive? Where is she? Why was her body swapped? What else is going on?“Mr. Richard!” Elvan continued. “I heard someone say that during that incident, there was a major commotion at the People’s Hospital. A group of people suddenly surrounded the hospital, and some of them headed stra
Prisoner 33311, is that Roderick Dwayne?A moment from an hour ago quickly flashed in Richard’s mind. He clearly remembered the prison guard calling the old man by the name of prisoner number 33311.3311 was the anniversary of his birth date. There he is...Yes, it turns out to be him...Inexpressible emotions filled Richard’s thoughts and face. His hand holding the document began to tremble. He himself didn’t know whether he was feeling joyful or not.But suddenly...Footsteps were heard approaching. Silence for a moment...Suddenly... click...The sound of a gun being cocked.There was no doubt about it; someone was behind that door. It seemed there was more than one. Feeling certain that danger was approaching, Richard didn’t choose to flee. Instead, he stood calmly in his place.Bang!The archive room door was kicked down from the outside. An officer from the correctional facility appeared, bringing a group of troops, and they all immediately aimed their guns at Richard’s head.
“I don’t know!” replied the skinny man. “But when he left, I saw them heading towards the execution room.”The execution room...This is bad! He could die or be seriously injured.Thinking of that, Richard quickly turned around and walked toward the exit.Several pairs of prisoner eyes stared at Richard’s back as he stood in front of the door, preparing to break it down.“What is he going to do?” said one prisoner to another.“Is he trying to save that old man?”“Is he stupid? Why does he want to be a late hero?”“He should just behave here so his sentence gets reduced.”“I’m not sure he can come back to this cell in one piece!”As the whispers continued to flow, suddenly...Bang!A loud sound echoed. Richard had smashed the iron door of the underground prison with a single punch. Before the guards could react, they were already hit by the palm of Richard’s hand.The prisoners behind Richard all looked stunned witnessing this moment.“Insane!”“Wow!”“Is he really that strong? That’s
No one should ever belittle the War God. He was a god in the hearts of all the soldiers. The soldiers said nothing. They immediately raised their weapons, whether guns or knives, and attacked Richard again.Their eyes, burning with the fury of anger, proved just how important the figure of the War God was in their hearts.And the Mayor had anticipated this possibility. That’s why he intentionally told everyone about Richard claiming to be the War God. He wanted to see how Richard would withstand the attack from the S-rank soldiers.Even if that man could survive this attack, Richard had already killed so many of the soldiers in front of everyone. Of course, the central headquarters would not sit idly by. The central headquarters would surely kill him.Hahahaha!The Mayor laughed incessantly in his heart. At that moment, his spirits were soaring. He looked forward to seeing Richard’s death. At that time, the invitation would fall into his hands.But just as the Mayor was still rejoicin
The bullet shot out uncontrollably, passing right by the Mayor’s gaze. It then headed straight towards Richard.At that moment, Andrew, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes. Still disoriented, he briefly saw a man standing not far from him. He also saw bullets flying from all directions, heading towards that man.Suddenly, Andrew’s pupils widened. His gaze fixed on the figure standing in the middle of the room.“No!”“Don’t!”“Don’t!”It was Richard!Richard Dwayne. He would never forget that name and face, not even until the day he died. That was the face of the God of War. The protector angel of their people and the entire Nation. The God of War could not die. Absolutely not.Therefore, Andrew tried to stand up. He, who had just been saved by Richard, still struggled to breathe normally. Gasping for air, he pushed himself as hard as he could to his feet and ran toward Richard. He wanted to take the bullets meant for Richard, to shield him from the attack coming from all
“Aren’t you afraid of the stones you’ve lifted falling on you?!”“Or, are you not afraid of the central headquarters at all? Or is there someone at the headquarters protecting you and allowing you to boldly collude with foreigners?!” Richard retorted.“Hahaha!” The Mayor burst into laughter. Afterward, he sneered, “Your status?”“What status do you even have?”“Someone as useless as you. Besides relying on those fools at Ligos city to protect you, what status do you have? Am I supposed to be afraid of the central headquarters? But what do you think they’ll know about what I do?”“Do you think the central headquarters will find out?”Impossible! Because ordinary people can’t possibly contact the headquarters. The Mayor’s face, words, and expression all displayed nothing but cruelty and contempt. The middle-aged man didn’t consider Richard important at all. To him, Richard was nothing more than an ant that didn’t deserve any fear. Richard was merely his scapegoat!Suddenly, the Mayor’s
Long before Andrew’s arrival, or even before the death of the city’s border captain, the mayor had already prepared everything. He wouldn’t let Andrew investigate and uncover the truth.If Andrew had already suspected him, the mayor wouldn’t hesitate to kill him. Afterward, all he had to do was find a scapegoat and frame them.But what he didn’t expect was that Richard would show up.Five minutes later.“What did you see! I won’t let you go! Hurry up and take me inside! Where’s the Mayor? I want to meet him!” Richard said.One of the officers led him inside, but Richard felt uneasy. Why was the government building so empty? It didn’t make sense that no one was guarding it, and it felt eerily quiet.“The Mayor is in that room, you can go in now,” one of the Mayor’s subordinates said.“In there?” Richard felt strange; he didn’t see anyone inside.Bang!Suddenly, the door slammed shut! The door was locked from the outside.Only ten meters ahead of him, Richard saw a man in a dark green u
On the small piece of paper was written, “My daughter has been kidnapped, the kidnapper is asking for information about Aurora’s whereabouts. Tomorrow is the deadline, please help me.”Upon seeing those words, Elena’s expression froze in confusion for a few seconds, followed by a complex panic in her eyes.“Ashren’s daughter has been kidnapped?”“And the kidnapper wants information about Aurora?”“So, Ashren wants me to help his daughter?”Who would dare kidnap Ashren’s daughter and so desperately want news about Aurora? Who else, besides herself...Yes, it must be that woman. It must be her. But why didn’t Ashren tell Richard?Was he afraid of being found out by that woman? No wonder he had been in such a hurry to slip that paper to her earlier; it seemed he was being watched by her.And it was such a coincidence that she had gone to meet Ashren, making her the only one who could help his daughter now.Elena stared at the paper, her gaze cold as she read Aurora’s name. She felt very
“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
