The boss laughed cynically. He didn’t take Richard’s words seriously at all. In fact, the man spoke with a tone of disgust.“Kid, you’re the one looking for trouble. Don’t blame me later. I’ve already asked the leader of the Red Line Kings gang to come here. I actually want to see how you’re going to die!”Richard didn’t respond to his words. He immediately kicked the boss’s knee. Suddenly, a thud echoed, and the boss went down on his knees in front of Richard.After that, Richard laughed and said mockingly, “Now this is the right attitude when a grandson speaks to his grandfather. So, remember it well!”“You—” The boss’s face was quite unpleasant to look at. The man gritted his teeth while glaring at Richard. “Kid, just wait. When our leader arrives, I’ll be the one to kill you with my own hands!”After he spoke, a sudden sound of footsteps came from the entrance. Soon, a man with a group of tall and muscular men entered Arcane Haven and walked into the lobby.Perhaps this man had be
“Thank you, Grandfather, for personally stepping in to help your grandson clean up the rotten members,” Paweł said.“Just go,” Richard replied, waving his hand.“Alright,” Paweł responded.After that, he quickly took his members away from Arcane Haven. Everyone swallowed hard as they watched the backs of the group from the Red Line Kings gang.Meanwhile, Aurora and Elias were still stunned and speechless. They weren’t the only ones; everyone else was silent too.In the entire lobby, only Elena was covering her mouth and laughing to the point of tears. The woman bent over, still laughing, before walking up to Richard.“Congratulations, boss. Now you have a bunch of great-grandson,” Elena said mischievously.Richard glanced at her but remained silent.“Thank you for your help,” Elias said to Richard.Once everyone from the Red Line Kings gang had left, the head servant of the Skyler family finally spoke up. He sincerely thanked Richard, who was sitting on the sofa.“May I ask, what’s yo
A very familiar voice. Elena instinctively looked up and turned toward the source of the voice. Her eyes immediately caught sight of her remarkable subordinate.On that subordinate’s finger was a ring that only a leader of Arcane Haven would wear. The man stood on the second floor, looking down with an arrogant and condescending expression.Meanwhile, the bodyguards and manager immediately greeted the man with respect. “President,” they said in unison. “President.”Haha! Ridiculous!“President?” Richard laughed. His laughter carried a strong sense of mockery. “If I remember correctly, the President of Arcane Haven is still in prison number one in Ligos city, isn’t it? Who are you?! Do you think you deserve to be called president?”Reizo glared at Richard. In the man’s eyes suddenly flickered a desire to kill. Meanwhile, Reginald, standing next to Reizo, also observed Richard closely.He clearly had never seen Richard before. But for some reason, upon seeing the man, he couldn’t hold b
When Reginald uttered that sentence, the knife lodged in Reizo’s abdomen sank even deeper. “Ugh!” The knife pierced further. Warm blood flowed from Reizo’s wound, the iron-scented liquid dripping onto the floor.Reizo’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Reginald. “Y-you, you dare to trap me...” Thud!Reizo’s eyes bulged as he fell into his own pool of blood. The sight left everyone in stunned silence. Even Elena and Richard’s views of Reginald began to shift. How cruel! In the most critical moment, that man could even kill his ally. “Now that Reizo is dead, who else dares to oppose Elena as the leader of Arcane Haven?!” Reginald shouted in front of everyone at Arcane Haven.As expected, no one dared to speak. The members of Arcane Haven hurriedly knelt before Elena and said, “Welcome back, leader!”Reginald nodded in satisfaction. He then walked up to Elena with a friendly smile. “Ms. Elena, my name is Reginald Dwayne. I am the new president of Monolith Group,” the man intr
Reginald dropped to one knee on the floor, suppressing the burning resentment in his chest, and forced a smile as he said, “Sir, I hope you can be magnanimous enough to let me have dinner with you.”Richard couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of someone who hated him to the core struggling to be nice.He patted Reginald on the shoulder and said, “Hahaha! Since this young master is so determined, I allow it! Go ahead!”After receiving Richard’s approval, the man forced a very insincere smile and replied, “Thank you very much! Please, go ahead in first, as I need to contact the daughter of the Skyler family. She must also attend this dinner.”Reginald calmed himself in his heart, reminding himself to be patient due to Richard’s great status. If he could gain the man’s trust, he would also reap significant benefits. He would gladly kneel or even eat dirt if necessary!After being imprisoned for over ten years, enduring humiliating treatment and beatings had become his daily fare. Theref
Hearing a shout from the entrance made the heads of the people gathered there, who were beating Reginald, turn in unison.The first sight they caught was Ramiro running toward them, accompanied by a group of other important figures. The panic and nervousness on the man’s face looked as if he had just met a king or a god!“Rami-Ramiro Gunarsa?!”“Huh? Why is he already free?!” Reginald’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the man standing at the front. He was sure he wasn’t mistaken! That man was the owner of The Velvet Fork, Ramiro Gunarsa!Why was he free at the same time as Elena? Why were all the important people locked up in Ligos city released simultaneously?Richard merely smiled a thin yet meaningful smile upon seeing Reginald’s shocked expression. It wasn’t just Reginald and the three people beside him; everyone present there was equally stunned!In the span of a month, many extraordinary important figures imprisoned in Ligos city had been freed. And those very people w
“Before that, Grandpa wants to tell you three things that you need to remember,” said Alexander, which Aurora nodded in agreement.“The first, the Dwayne family is a group of entrepreneurs, but their grandfather is someone who possesses remarkable medical knowledge.”Aurora’s face suddenly tensed. It’s true that the Dwayne family is a business family, but the grandfather of that family has helped many important people with his medical expertise. How could that happen?“Roderick is famous all over the country and is protected by everyone. I wonder why he would let an ordinary person like Wilbur into the Dwayne family? After his daughter and wife were murdered, why didn’t any of the people he helped come to his aid?”At first, Aurora didn’t feel anything was odd, but after hearing her grandfather’s words, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. What he said was indeed true; what was really going on?If someone helps you in your most critical moment, you would definitely consider tha
“What did you just say?” Richard asked as he straightened up, glaring at Wilona. “The granddaughter who returned is Aurora?” he repeated.“What?! I already told you, I should be the only granddaughter in the Skyler family! Don’t you understand human language?!” Wilona snapped, clearly irritated.Her chest tightened with anger at Richard’s question. She turned away with an annoyed expression. The first thing she saw was the handsome face of the man, his eyes glaring with an intense, intimidating look.Wilona guessed that Richard was no ordinary person. She tried to suppress her curiosity and asked, “Who are you? Where are you from?”“I’m not in Ligos city. You said the Aurora who returned to Ligos city—is she Aurora Nelsons from Almolia City?” Richard asked, ignoring her previous question.“Isn’t she the daughter of the Nelsons Family? How did she become part of the Skyler family?” Richard asked again.“How do you know?” Wilona was shocked because Alexander hadn’t disclosed Aurora’s pr
The little girl growled at Elena like a madwoman. “You’re evil! You’re evil!”“Let go of my Daddy!”“Dad…”“Shut up! You forced me! Get out of here!” Elena yelled. A deep fear filled the woman’s mind. Having lost her sanity, she raised the dagger in her hand again and plunged it into Doctor Fenrick’s heart. Then she kicked his body hard, sending it several meters away.In the eyes of the desperate little girl, her father’s figure was reflected as he lay on the ground, eyes wide open, lifeless.Before her father took his last breath, the little girl seemed to see him looking at her. He smiled and said, “Sweetheart, Daddy is not useless. I’m not afraid to die...”Not afraid!He truly was never afraid.“Daddy,” the little girl whispered.“Aaarrgghhh! Daddy!” The little girl screamed with red eyes. Clearly, she had been gravely wounded. But somehow, she gathered strength from somewhere. Her small body suddenly rose and charged toward Elena.She wanted to fight back with the last bit of st
From the very beginning, Elena had been driving her car, tailing the mysterious woman. That’s why she witnessed the whole incident. She saw with her own eyes how Zena led the mysterious woman to run back to the training base. She also saw with her own eyes the little girl being stabbed with a dagger.It could be said that the little girl was quite lucky. Perhaps because the mysterious woman was too nervous and panicked, the stab wound in the little girl’s abdomen wasn’t life-threatening.After making sure that only the little girl remained, Elena slowed her steps. She walked closer, one step at a time, toward the little girl.When the little girl saw Elena’s calm and expressionless face, she felt as if she saw the last glimmer of hope. The little girl innocently reached out her hand toward Elena. Every time she tried to speak, her life force seemed to drain away.“P-please save my sister...”“P-please... call brother Richard...”“Please. Please go save sis Aurora,” the little girl whi
After snatching the phone from the little girl’s hand, Zena checked it. As soon as she clearly saw the contact name on the phone screen, both her eyes immediately flashed with an intense murderous intent. She gripped the phone tightly in her hand.“What’s wrong with you? What happened to you?”“What happened there? Tell me quickly! Where are you? Let me know where you are!” Richard urged in a hurry.When the man heard the voice of the woman yelling at him through the phone, his heart sank, almost dropping to his feet.The sound of Richard’s voice on the phone truly startled Zena. She was both terrified and angry. She quickly reached out to press the end call button.However, just at that moment—three seconds before Zena could hang up—the little girl, whose head had struck the ground and whose body was covered in wounds and blood, suddenly lifted her head. Then, with the remaining strength she had, she screamed toward Zena.“Training Base! The Training Base on the outskirts of Almolia
She still didn’t want to die.She still hadn’t met Richard.She had to wait for that little girl to bring Richard to save her.All the mistreatment from Zena, all the wounds inflicted by that female trainer, Aurora would make sure to repay it all! She would!At first, Aurora thought that by coming here, as long as she could endure the hardships and pressure, and was willing to work hard, she would become strong. She would be worthy of standing by Richard’s side. Unfortunately, she was wrong. All her hard work and determination had only earned her hostility and torment from Zena, with no clear reason. On the other side…“Sis, wait for me.”“You have to wait for me to come out and bring someone to save you.”“You’re the kindest person to me in this world. God will surely protect and bless you. I will definitely escape from here. I will bring Brother Richard to save you,” said the little girl as she curled up in the underground drainage pipe.The little girl continued to crawl a little
“Yes. I am a devil woman! I am a wild beast! I want to see that shameless woman torn apart!”“Why do I have to be the one to suffer through all this? Why must I be the one who is hurt? Why? Why?!”“Why! Hah?! Tell me now. On what basis?!”The mysterious woman seemed to be poked at a vulnerable part of herself, perhaps because some people important to her had once scolded her with the words, “devil woman.” This caused the part of her filled with hatred and vengeance to explode.Both her hands gripped Ashren’s shirt collar tightly. She stared at him with sharp eyes, sneering cynically.When Ashren saw the look in her eyes, his heart suddenly dropped as if it was plummeting to the tips of his toes. For some reason, he felt something far worse was about to happen. And sure enough, it did!Not long after that, a command came from the mysterious woman that struck Ashren like a bolt of lightning.“Ashren, let me make it clear. Don’t even think about trying anything! I’m giving you one hour.
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
