“Oh, it’s all right, Miss Elena. Pardon my surprise!” Reginald responded, not daring to ask further and apologized.Elena accepted it gladly. She smiled at Richard, gave a respectful nod, and then left the room. The nobleman from Vandrelis Country was a middle-aged man in his 40s, accompanied by eight guards.Seeing Reginald arrive with someone, the nobleman greeted him politely, “Welcome, Mr. Reginald Dwayne!”“The leaders of our elite group heard that you wanted to expedite cooperation between us, so they sent me here ahead of time.”“Oh, is that so!” Reginald replied cheerfully. “It seems you were sent here for an initial discussion regarding our collaboration. Very well, then, allow me to introduce an important person in this country to you.”“Sir, this is the envoy from the elite group in Vandrelis Country!” Reginald said to Richard. Richard looked up, and the two of them locked eyes. The envoy was momentarily startled but eventually smiled upon seeing Richard with his mask. H
Reginald’s phone rang, and he instinctively looked down. He was startled to see that the call was from the Chamber of Commerce of Ligos city.He spontaneously became excited and said to the representative beside him, “Hey, look at this! It’s a call from the Chamber of Commerce. They’re actually calling me!”“Quick, answer it!” urged the representative.Reginald took a deep breath before answering the call. As soon as he picked up, a young woman’s gentle voice could be heard, “Hello, Mr. Reginald Dwayne! I’m calling from the Chamber of Commerce of Ligos city. I just received a message from our chairman, who has agreed to the cooperation you proposed, on the condition that you provide a security deposit of 100 trillion.”After the conversation with the Chamber of Commerce ended, Reginald suddenly felt dazed for a moment, as though he had just struck an enormous fortune. He clenched his fist tightly and punched the wall. “Yeah! Amazing!!! Our partnership has been approved by the Chamber
Richard, who heard Aurora’s strange request, immediately turned to her. It turned out Aurora was looking at him with great enthusiasm. Richard appeared confused by the woman’s odd request. However, seeing Aurora’s spoiled and excited expression made him smile slightly because he found her antics amusing.Meanwhile, Aurora, seemingly afraid that Richard might not agree, hesitantly extended her hand and tugged at his shirt sleeve.Then she pointed her index finger at him. “Yaa... is it okay? Can I? Is it alllllllright?” Aurora said in a spoiled manner, but there was a hint of worry in her heart.Would Richard be willing to grant her request? If he wasn’t, what would she do next?However, Richard simply said, “Well, go ahead and take it.”He leaned his head toward Aurora. Hearing Richard’s response, Aurora felt it was quite strange. Did Richard really allow her to take a strand of his hair? Or was he doing this to figure out the meaning behind her behavior?Aurora tried to muster the co
“Pfft!”“Are you really going to die if you don’t talk big like that? Someone from Almolia City, a small town. Everyone knows each other here,” Althea said, bursting into laughter.She was increasingly convinced of her decision to separate Richard and Aurora. As Aurora’s best friend from middle school, Althea would never allow a ragged beggar to ruin her best friend’s youth.Once they entered the VIP room, she would surely make Richard understand what life was like among the upper class.However, there was one thing Althea was unaware of: Hugo Pratama, the big name she had just mentioned, was none other than a man who had been Richard’s subordinate while in prison. Furthermore, several days had passed. At the family heir’s inauguration event tomorrow, at least 34 big bosses from Ligos city would be present. “Aurora, this is the place. You have to remember, everyone inside there are important people with wealth and power,” Althea said.After that, she carefully opened the VIP room do
“How about it? Have you thought it through, country boy? Just leaving your girlfriend to drink with us! Even if you work your whole life, you won’t have two billion,” said Erick.“Pfft!”Everyone laughed, covering their mouths. They looked at Richard with mocking gazes. Everyone in the room imagined Richard would take the money and leave. They all thought the man would hang his head in defeat over such a huge amount of two billion.However!Richard suddenly burst out laughing. He then opened the screen of his phone. After that, he clicked and opened a text message on his phone.Then he asked Erick back with an arrogant, intimidating tone. “Mr. Erick.”“What? Want to kneel and sell your girlfriend, huh?” Erick asked confidently, even unwilling to look at Richard.Meanwhile, Richard extended his hand and patted Erick’s face while laughing. “Open your eyes wide and look clearly! Tell me, how many billions do you need to buy just one of your hands?”The pain on his face made Erick furious
“Why? Now you’re free, right? You don’t even recognize your own boss anymore?”Boss?!Hugo’s heart muscles tightened immediately. “Do you know my boss?”Richard sneered as he looked at Hugo. His gaze was enough to make Hugo break into a cold sweat, as if Richard could kill him just with a look.“It seems like you really can’t recognize him anymore! Should I take you back and help you remember——”Suddenly! A pair of slender, soft hands grabbed Richard’s clenched fists. The hands belonged to Aurora. She looked at Richard and shook her head.Seeing that Richard didn’t budge, Aurora playfully shook his hand. Then she stroked his chin with her soft hair.“I want to go home,” she said sweetly. “The ceremony for Reginald’s confirmation as the successor is just around the corner. Whatever problems there are, let’s take care of them tomorrow. Okay? Besides, Althea brought us here. I’m afraid she might be the one who gets in trouble. Shall we go home now?”Even though Althea always urged Aurora
Time flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s the next day.Today marks the ceremony for the confirmation of the Dwayne family heir. Reginald sent a message early in the morning to Richard and Aurora, inviting them to attend the event where he would be the main focus. All the upper-class individuals were also invited to the event.In the Dwayne family’s study at this moment, Reginald, an associate of the Westfield Group and the Boxing King, along with more than ten other groups, were gathered. They were discussing the event that would take place in two hours.“Today, when I announce that I will be the heir of the Dwayne family, there will surely be dissatisfaction and opposition from some people. At that moment, I ask all of you to help me control the situation!” Reginald declared confidently.“Then we will all work together to secure our positions as leaders. I have already sent messages to the Boss and Aurora. Unfortunately, recently the War God has not been at headquarters. If n
Reginald, dressed in a suit, walked in with a worried and fearful expression. His eyes constantly darted around, as if he were searching for someone very important.Naturally, Reginald’s appearance caught the attention of many invited guests.“Mr. Reginald?” Althea whispered. Her heart tightened. She smiled widely and was about to approach and greet the man.However, to her surprise, Reginald simply walked past her. He headed straight for Richard, whom Althea always looked down upon. Not only that, Reginald even humbly bowed to Richard and said, “Sir, you’ve finally arrived. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”“Please, come in. Please, come in.”This sight left Althea utterly stunned. She widened her eyes in disbelief, her mind going blank as if she were witnessing something unbelievable. All she could do was watch Reginald bow to Richard in disbelief.After that, she rubbed her eyes and shook her head. “No way. This can’t be happening. How is this possible?!” she murmured.“
