“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.“
“Thank you very much, Miss Elena. I....”While expressing his gratitude to Elena, Hugo suddenly looked up and gazed at Richard. But when he saw the man’s face clearly, he was instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning on a bright day.Hugo’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen something he desperately didn’t want to believe.“M-Miss. Elena!” The man felt horrified. Pointing at Richard, he asked, “Are you sure he’s my boss? Is he the one who got us out of prison? Wh-why does he look like this?”“You’re not joking with me, are you?!”Elena was sitting on a tall stool, crossing her slender and pale legs. A charming smile spread across her beautiful face.However, that smile made Hugo feel as if the sky were about to fall.“Oh, Boss Hugo. It’s just a change of face. Is this going to be difficult for me?” the woman said. Elena was very close to an official from Vandrelis Country, where there was a doctor who could make masks from human skin. With the connections she had, it wa
At that moment, the situation on both sides was dire. Richard sat with his hands resting on either side of the sofa. The man crossed his legs and sat like a big boss, enjoying the clash between Vincent, his grandfather’s friend, and Reginald.He glanced at the dozen vice leaders of the gangs sitting not far from him. Then he asked Elena, “Can you see how far those just released from prison have come?”“Boss, they should arrive here in about ten minutes,” Elena replied promptly.A meaningful smile spread across Richard’s face. “Ten more minutes. Soon enough.”It was time to end this show today!Thud!A member of the Westfield Group, who had been waiting for a chance to step forward, suddenly stood up from his seat. He then faced the elderly figures sitting in the VIP chairs. “Mr. Vincent, what you said earlier was outrageous. The Dwayne family’s affairs will, of course, be settled by the Dwayne family. What does it have to do with you? Haven’t you interfered too much?”Vincent snorted
“What are you all doing just staring at the door? Hurry up and go inside to see for yourselves the good subordinates you’ve been guiding!” the man said again.After finishing his words, Reginald’s eyes suddenly caught sight of more than ten figures, which was quite shocking.Who are they?The head of the Westfield Group of Rio Dio Country, Bilbo Westfield!The director of the number one casino, Logan Everett!And the others. Each person was a boss of the rebels.And each of these figures made Reginald and the rebels watching feel their heart muscles tighten. What was really happening here?They hadn’t even had the chance to rejoice at finally being able to take up the position of gang leaders today.But their superiors, whom they were so sure would never be able to get out of prison, had suddenly been released without any news? How could this be?How is this possible?“B-Boss…” Upon seeing Bilbo, the subordinates of the Westfield Group immediately felt as if the sky were about to fal
Silence enveloped them for a moment. With his whole body suddenly cold, Reginald began to tremble violently in his place. His eyes widened, filled with fear and disbelief.He shook his head while stepping back, his gaze still locked on Richard’s face until his back hit the table behind him. The man fell to the floor, pale and shaking his head.“No… it can’t be… how is this possible? H-how could this happen?! Hahahaha, this must be a trap for me; they must be trying to prank me,” Reginald muttered.“Who?! Who dares make a joke like this?!” Reginald shouted, staring intently at Richard’s face, filled with shock. The man could not stop denying what he saw with his own eyes.Richard, who rarely appeared in public, meant that most of the guests there did not recognize him.“Who is he? Why is Reginald’s reaction upon seeing that man so extreme?”“I’ve met him before; he looks somewhat familiar.”A big question mark filled the heads of the guests. Even the representatives of important famili
