“What? Who? Who are you?!” snapped Elvan.The man looked Richard up and down, then spoke with a tone of contempt.“You’re the Nelsons family’s son-in-law who relies on your wife’s family, a worthless man who isn’t even worth as much as a dog. Honestly, I’m only helping you find a job because you’re Dharia’s ex-husband. But it seems like you don’t need that help anymore, do you?”Everyone burst into laughter. Elvan then continued, “Oh, by the way, that electric bike was bought with the Nelsons family’s money, right? Since you’re divorced now, the assets should be clearly returned.”As soon as he finished speaking, Carmen suddenly appeared and snatched the electric bike keys from Richard’s hand.“Hand over the keys! Elvan’s right. This electric bike was also bought with our family’s money,” she said with a sneer.“Haha....” Richard laughed and shook his head. Then he looked at his former mother-in-law and said, “I never intended to take anything from your family. Just remember this clea
The voices were so loud and powerful. They sent chills down the spines of everyone present, leaving them stunned.People stood frozen, mouths agape, eyes wide open in disbelief. They could only stare at Richard in shock.“He... he’s the son of a wealthy man?”How could that be?“Isn’t he supposed to be poor and destitute? Didn’t I hear earlier that he’s a son-in-law who only knows how to live off his wife? How could he have such a high status? Am I seeing things wrong?”In truth, the reality before them was clear.No. They weren’t seeing things wrong.Richard was the man they were looking for. The man they mocked and ridiculed was actually the heir to a wealthy family with assets in the trillions.Thud!Richard descended the stairs, placing his hands behind his back. He stood in front of hundreds of bodyguards, who were still bowing. Unless he told them to rise, they had to remain in a respectful bow, and none dared to stand.At this moment, even though Richard was still dressed in hi
“I looked into the issue concerning the Nelsons family from fifteen years ago and found out that on the 18th of that time, Dharia celebrated her birthday at Citadel Hotel. There was no kidnapping whatsoever.”“So, the person you’re looking for isn’t Dharia.”The last sentence he heard was like a thunderclap to Richard. He had given up hope on the girl and decided to return to Ligos city, only to suddenly hear this news. The girl he had been searching for was apparently not Dharia. This meant he had been searching for the wrong person!“It can’t be...” Richard whispered.With a furrowed brow and a look of disbelief, he said, “At that time when I found Grandpa Nelsons, he himself said that the person was Dharia. And the date was also the 18th. The Nelsons family only had one daughter, so it’s impossible that the person wasn’t Dharia.”One thing Richard was sure of was that the girl from fifteen years ago indeed came from the Nelsons family!The head servant, noticing the change in Richa
Richard put his phone back into his pocket. The man didn’t even look at the receptionist. He just stared fixedly at the elevator door.The receptionist felt even more convinced that Richard was just pretending to call someone earlier.With his shabby appearance, how could the man possibly know their General Manager?“Security guard!” The receptionist called two security guards not far from him and said, “Take him out of here!”Without saying much, the two security guards immediately walked with big steps towards Richard.At the same time!The door of elevator number three suddenly descended from the twenty-first floor. Richard just stood there.The two security guards who were ordered by the receptionist earlier reached out and wanted to hold Richard’ shoulders. Meanwhile, the receptionist remained standing in her position with a disdainful expression on her face at Richard.Right at this moment, the elevator had reached the tenth floor!The sixth floor!The third floor!Just as the h
Everyone’s gaze instantly turned to Raylon. The man had just received the documents delivered by his secretary. He then handed the documents to Richard and said, “Mr. Richard, here is the data regarding Dharia’s whereabouts on her 15th birthday.”“Additionally, there are also photos from her birthday,” Raylon added.Richard busily flipped through the pages of the documents given by Raylon. He then said, “In other words, on the 18th, Dharia was never kidnapped at all. And that means she is not the girl I’ve been looking for?”“Then why did Grandpa Nelsons say that Dharia is the one I’m searching for?” Richard asked again.“Mr. Richard, I apologize in advance. But have you ever considered this? You are so honorable. You are the heir of the Dwayne family in Ligos city. Besides that, you also control the underground forces of Rio Dio Country,” Raylon said with a serious expression.“Not to mention you have other very impressive statuses. However, just based on those two points alone, who
Elvan, who had been waiting in the Diamond Group lobby to sign a contract with Mr. Raylon, instead encountered Richard, whom he considered a parasite.Seeing the man, he felt something was missing if he hadn’t humiliated Richard yet.“Why do you look so angry? Did you get rejected from being a security guard here?” Elvan asked sarcastically. “Besides, I was kind enough to offer you a security job at my office, but you rejected it and insisted on finding a job on your own. It turns out the office you chose is Diamond Group?!” Elvan continued, ignoring Richard’s sharp gaze.“Your attitude alone is unfit for being a security guard here. At the very least, you should have formal training for the profession! And you? Did you even graduate from junior high school?” Elvan’s condescending words continued to belittle him.“Move aside! I don’t have time to entertain you!” Richard snapped coldly. Elvan’s eyes widened when he heard the man’s words.“You’d better watch your attitude now! Do you
“What?! What did you just say?! Canceled?! How could this happen? Didn’t Mr. Raylon agree yesterday?” Carmen was shocked. The question from the woman only worsened Elvan’s already terrible mood.“It’s all because of that damn Richard! He cursed me, causing the partnership to fall through! See? It really happened!” Elvan shouted angrily.“Damn the birthday party! You all are just bad luck!” The man did not see himself as being at fault at all. He only blamed others and shifted all the burdens onto them.He did like Dharia, but compared to money, she was meaningless to him. Elvan ended the call abruptly. Meanwhile, Carmen remained silent, staring at her phone and muttering,“Elvan and Diamond Group canceled the partnership?” she whispered.“What’s going on? The Quinlan family surely won’t invest with us. Mr. Raylon won’t come to the birthday party, right?” Carmen continued with a tone of despair. The old woman’s heart shattered into pieces upon hearing the news.“Damn Richard! The man
“You want something? I’ll give it to you right away! One thing you should know is that I never lack female company in my life. So, you’re quite lucky because you’re one of the chosen ones!” said the man.Of course, Aurora knew that someone as wealthy as Ghalen would never run out of female company. But she had never felt she was worth being valued so cheaply!“I’m sorry, Sir. I can prove myself to them with my own abilities. So, thank you for your offer, but I’m not interested. Let’s continue our discussion about the investment,” Aurora quickly declined.Ghalen’s smile vanished from his lips. With a cold expression, he said, “Are you belittling me?”“Of course not. I know Mr. Ghalen is impressive, but I’d prefer to prove my worth through my own skills. So let’s get back to our main agenda,” Aurora replied, struggling to hide her disgust towards the man.The man’s face flushed red as if he was holding back his anger. He poured a glass of alcohol and handed it to Aurora, saying, “Sure,
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
