“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.“
“She’s just one woman; lose one, and there will be thousands more! Why are you going to such lengths just to find her? Besides, the person you’re looking for isn’t here! If she were, we’d have found her long before you arrived.” Velric glared at Richard intensely.If not for the fact that this area was under the jurisdiction of Rio Dio Country, Velric would have acted long ago to kill the man before him. Richard had gone too far!But who would have thought the man in front of him would laugh coldly, pointing a knife straight at Velric’s head, and say, “Dr. Fenrick’s daughter contacted me, asking me to come here to pick up Aurora. But now you’re telling me she’s not here?!”“Do you think I’m stupid?! If I don’t see Aurora standing before me safe and sound today, none of you—none of you—will live!”No one was allowed to survive. That was how important Aurora was to Richard and how highly he valued her.Elena arrived just as Richard finished his statement. Her heart felt like it was bein
In the end, her student truly became the strongest person in Rio Dio Country Country, without a hint of fear. But after that, the person disappeared without leaving a trace! Her visit today was to search for her student whereabouts.“Don’t care how tough it gets? Doesn’t matter if life is like hell?” repeated the woman with fingers that folded and unfolded her fan. Then she stepped forward, leaped, and landed just a few centimeters in front of Aurora, lifting the woman’s chin with her fan.“Why would you want to become my student? Whether you’re strong or not, it has nothing to do with me. Your hatred means nothing to me, why should I help you? What kind of joke is that?!”The woman’s words made Aurora more certain that the woman in front of her was far more powerful than Richard, many times over. At least she had never seen anyone capable of floating in the air. She had to become this woman’s student!“I beg you, accept me as your student,” Aurora pleaded again, bowing so deeply that
“You said she was the one who decided to leave me?! Do you think I’m stupid?!”Slap!Richard slapped Zena across the face, causing fresh blood to spurt from her mouth.“I’ll give you five minutes to find Aurora! If she’s not found in five minutes, I’ll kill all of you!” Richard shouted in an authoritative tone, causing The Man to turn pale.The man was about to beg Richard for mercy, but ended up receiving a kick from him instead. The Man’s anger surged to its peak. He knew he wouldn’t be able to handle this situation, so he decided to grab his phone and send a message to Velric.The message was a plea for help, asking Velric to come quickly.Five minutes had passed, but no one had stepped forward. Meanwhile, the team members who were searching the entire training facility began to report back to Richard.“Chief, there’s no trace of Mrs. Aurora in the East section!”“Chief, there’s no trace of Mrs. Aurora in the South section either!”And so, the members who had searched the entire pl
Where is she?“Where is Aurora?!” asked the mysterious woman quietly.“Where is she?!”“She clearly fell here. There’s no mistake. She should have fallen here! But why has she suddenly disappeared? Where did she go?!” muttered the mysterious woman.She desperately tried to scan the surroundings. She even turned on the flashlight on her phone and started searching, making sure to check every corner.But unfortunately, nothing!Nothing at all!Not even her body, not a single strand of hair could be found. The mysterious woman didn’t find anything.Aurora didn’t know anything about martial arts. If she fell from such a high building, even if she didn’t die on the spot, she would at least be seriously injured. But now the person had completely vanished?At that moment, a feeling of unwillingness suddenly exploded inside the mysterious woman. She gritted her teeth in frustration. She had come to Rio Dio Country so early to make Aurora experience a life of suffering. She wanted Aurora to un
The phone in Richard’s other hand suddenly rang. The caller’s number was one he had never seen before. It wasn’t from Rio Dio Country! Nor was it from abroad.What was going on? Richard couldn’t stop wondering. A bad feeling slowly began to creep in. He stared at the strange number displayed on his phone screen. Then, he glanced again at Aurora’s phone in his other hand, which was calling the contact named “H.” Suddenly, he wondered if the phone number... Could it be his own?! Not wanting to think about it too much, Richard quickly swiped the green button on his phone to answer. Then he spoke, his eyes still fixed on Aurora’s phone screen. Just as he suspected! The moment Richard answered his call, Aurora’s phone displayed the connected call. The voice coming from the phone was Richard’s own.“How is this possible?” Richard said in shock, his eyes wide as he switched between staring at his own phone and Aurora’s with disbelief.The phone number given by Clifford... was actually
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
