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
