Just those two simple words were enough to make Aurora’s eyes well up with tears.“It hurts,” Aurora answered, biting her lower lip and nodding as she looked at Richard.The man’s heart sank instantly. He gently stroked her wrist, a gesture that made the men in the room grit their teeth in jealousy.The owner of Gelli Group, who had been knocked down earlier, was now standing with the help of nearby guests. He glared furiously at Richard and shouted, “Hey! Kid! You looking to die?! I’ll call my men to finish you off—”Richard’s barely-contained rage flared up once again upon hearing the man’s threat.Slap!A hard slap landed on the face of the Gelli Group owner, spinning him around on the spot.“I’ve never even said a single foul word to her!”Slap!Another harsh strike hit the man’s cheek, causing his vision to blur momentarily.“And you dare touch her?!”Slap!“You want to kill me?”Slap!“Didn’t your cousin tell you who I am? I’m his ancestor!”The relentless blows left the man’s f
“It turns out you really are Mr. Ramiro’s honored guest. Please forgive our earlier behavior.”The people who had been laughing at the man suddenly changed their attitude one hundred and twenty-eight degrees. It turned out that money and power could change a person.“No need, I’m just a poor person from Almolia City. I don’t deserve to accept requests from important people like you,” Richard replied with a cold, thin smile, which was met with forced smiles from the guests because he had outright rejected them.Though they felt annoyed, none of them dared to express it directly.“How could this happen? Is he really Ramiro’s honored guest?! Didn’t he just say he’s a poor person from Almolia City? Damn it! If I had known, I should have just accepted it! It would have been great to become his girlfriend!” murmured the big-chested woman, filled with regret.She stared at Richard intently until he seemed to notice someone looking at him. He glanced briefly at the woman, who intentionally lo
Aurora’s sudden words made Richard freeze and tense up in his place. The look of shock was clearly visible in his eyes, but he quickly covered it with a short laugh.“Why are you so sure that I’m Richard? My face is different from his.”“No! You are him!” Aurora said confidently, wrapping her arms around Richard. She tilted her head back to look at Richard and said, “No matter when, whatever happens, and whoever you become, as long as I see your gaze and eyes, I will instantly recognize you.”“Do you know why? Because in your eyes, there is me. When I thanked you for helping me during the Arcane Haven, you answered that it was something you were supposed to do.”“You knew me from the start?” Aurora looked at Richard with hope, only receiving the man’s throat clearing as an acknowledgment.Unable to contain his feelings that seemed about to overflow, Richard caressed the woman’s waist and said, “Of course. Because my heart will beat every time I see you. When that happens, I know the
Previously, she had sent a message to Alexander to be prepared to follow her to Dwayne’s residence at any moment if anything happened to her later.On the other hand, Richard, who had left the dinner event earlier, hurried to the headquarters to check on his grandfather, who was in the S-level care room. There, a special nurse from the headquarters was attending to the man.‘Grandfather, how did he end up in that care room? That place is very secretive and only for very important people at the headquarters. Besides, Grandfather isn’t anyone special; how could he be allowed in there?’The S-level care room was specifically prepared for important people who were vulnerable to enemy attacks while being treated. Meanwhile, Roderick was just a businessman from the Dwayne family; why was he receiving such special treatment?Richard drove quickly to the complex where the S-level care room was located. Too many confusing questions filled his head during the trip. He tried to guess, but none o
“What? Gr... Grandfather?”Everyone, including the bearded man, turned to look at Richard in an instant. The bearded man’s forehead furrowed tightly. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard. At a glance, he saw no resemblance between Roderick and Richard.He then aimed his weapon at Richard’s head and asked, “Did you say Roderick is your grandfather? You’re his grandson? Hahaha…”“That’s right!” Richard replied, stepping forward to stand in front of the medical team leader. The aura that emerged resembled that of a young Roderick. The bearded man realized this and was immediately taken aback.His eyes widened as he stared at Richard, one second, two seconds, three seconds! He then burst out laughing mockingly. “Hahaha… You’re Roderick’s grandson? Hahaha… Hey, young man, don’t pretend in front of me. Roderick’s grandson died 15 years ago. Now you suddenly appear and claim to be his grandson? Hahaha…”“But let’s just say… assume you really are Roderick’s grandson. That’s fine. Hey tr
Under the amazed gaze of the S-level troops, several other pilots followed suit and were killed after being shot by Richard. The helicopters began to wobble and suddenly fell from a height of hundreds of meters above the ground.The sound of a huge explosion deafened the people present. The entire enemy force had now been wiped out; there were no survivors.The S-level troops and the captain appeared to swallow hard repeatedly. They were all in awe of the shooting technique demonstrated by Richard. How did he manage to do that?“You... you really are a war god?” the captain stammered.“My God! We’ve really encountered a god of war!” he exclaimed again.Now everyone looked joyful and full of spirit. The captain even hurriedly stood up and grabbed Richard’s hand. “My God, I can shake hands with the war god!” he said enthusiastically.“War god, how did you make that shot earlier?”“This is truly amazing! Will you teach me?”“Damn! I want to learn too!”Voices among the troops echoed back
As the name suggests, brain cell surgery is a memory operation, which involves extracting some memory cells and transferring them to another person. This way, the other person will have the memories of the person from whom the cells were extracted.Currently, Rio Dio Country does not possess medical science as advanced as this, just like other developed countries. Such an operation has never occurred anywhere.But for the past few days, Roderick has been teaching the medical team in detail about this procedure. However, once this operation is performed, Roderick will die immediately.If Richard knew the story that his grandfather sacrificed himself for a medical science, it would be unimaginable how shocked he would be; he might even faint. Thinking about this made the head of the medical team anxious.On the other hand, Roderick leaned against the door with a relieved smile. He laughed heartily and said,“Then please don’t tell him! He surely won’t be able to accept it. You must be a
The Dwayne family moved to Rio Dio Country 27 years ago in April. Richard was born on January 17, 26 years ago. That’s only a few months difference.Isn’t it supposed to take 10 months to get pregnant? Bentley and Roderick’s daughter got married in May. Even if they got pregnant right after the wedding, the child should have been born in March. But in fact, Richard was born in January?! What’s going on? This means... Richard is not Bentley Dong’s biological child... Bentley is just pretending.“Hmmmm...”“That means, all this time my suspicion has been correct...” Alexander murmured.If Bentley is not Richard’s biological father, then who is?“Yeah, yeah... It could be!”Alexander looked deep in thought, and suddenly his eyes widened, filled with astonishment. His guess might actually be correct... When Roderick brought Delvina to Rio Dio Country, she must have been around 2 months pregnant. And after arriving here, Roderick found Bentley Dong and made him a son-in-law in the Dwayne
