“What are you going to uncover?” Richard leaned against the wall behind him. The man flashed a knowing grin and asked Eno, “Wasn’t he just enjoying the feeling of being a boss?”“Let him enjoy it a little longer. Soon enough, he won’t have the chance to enjoy it again.”Eno involuntarily shuddered as he saw the smirk on Richard’s face, especially with the expression that seemed to suggest he was plotting something.When Eno was in prison, he once thought Richard was an impudent man with power but no brains. He also contemplated how to escape Richard’s control once he got out of prison. Fortunately, he hadn’t gone through with it.But now, it seemed Richard was not that simple.“Richard!”Suddenly, a shout filled with hatred echoed from the center of the room. Richard looked towards the source of the voice, and his eyes immediately caught sight of Reginald, who was grinning sarcastically.“It really is you. This world is so small, Richard. I never expected to run into you here!”Regina
Reginald was also too arrogant. The man seemed completely unconcerned about the angry chairman.Pointing at the chairman’s forehead, Reginald erupted, “I’m about to become your boss. How dare you say I have no brain! Are you blind, you jerk? He’s not a doctor at all. Especially not a great one.”“He doesn’t understand anything about the medical field. You’ve been fooled by this bastard!”The chairman squinted his eyes, glaring at Reginald with a hostile look. Eighty fighter jets! Plus, an uninhabited island. All for the sake of trading a fool who always thinks he’s right?“Mr. Reginald, you say he doesn’t understand anything about the medical world?” the chairman asked while trying to suppress his urge to kill him. He then calmly said to Reginald, “But when he was at Nexus Club yesterday…”“I saw the abilities of this great doctor with my own eyes.”“Mr. Reginald, you shouldn’t dwell on revenge and hatred in front of you. We are in dire need of great doctors with good medical knowledg
“Reginald has to kneel and bow down while apologizing to me!”“And you all must treat me as a genius doctor!”Reginald scoffed cynically. He was sure Richard didn’t have the ability to do that. Therefore, his face was filled with a condescending expression. “What if you can’t? If you can’t bring this woman back to life, then you have to break your own arm and become my servant for life!” Reginald said.He had been waiting for this day for a long time. In his dreams, he wanted Richard to humble himself and kneel before him. In his dreams, he wanted to trample on that man.That feeling must be extraordinary!“Okay. Everyone, watch closely,” Richard replied without showing any hesitation at all.After that, Richard approached the woman again in front of everyone.The leader of the Lion Head community watched this scene closely, fearing he might miss Richard’s movements. He wanted to see how the man would do it.Meanwhile, several groups of troops had already started arriving and gatherin
The sudden arrival of a woman, who seemed to appear out of nowhere and immediately exposed everything, cast an eerie silence over the room.The woman, dressed in a purple gown, looked at Richard with a mocking smile. As a student of the doctor from Vandrelis Country, she despised people who exploited and deceived others.Daring to use fake medical skills to boast in front of an expert like her?! No way!“You all heard that, right? I already told you. He’s been deceiving all of you.”Reginald abruptly stood up with a dark expression. He positioned himself in front of the woman in the purple gown, then pointed at Richard and said, “Richard, now that your lies have been exposed, haven’t they? You’ve got nothing left to say, right?”“You don’t have any medical skills at all! This was all just an act you set up.”Reginald then pointed at Ramiro and the woman Richard had supposedly healed earlier. “These are people you instructed to act. Now what else do you have to say?”Everyone simultane
“If it weren’t for me suggesting the use of a stimulant to induce a state of suspended animation, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. It’s such a dilemma,” said Aurora.“So, what should we do now? Are you really planning to listen to that woman and go heal the Martial Ally’s leader? But you don’t have any medical skills,” she added. Richard gently pinched Aurora’s soft cheek. “Why would I blame you? Don’t worry about me. When the time comes, there’ll be a way out.”“Boss,” called Ramiro. Earlier, he’d gone to interrogate the man with Wilona and was then taken by Aurora to act in front of everyone. Right now, Ramiro looked very serious.“This isn’t an act anymore. The person you’re saving isn’t just anyone. He’s the leader of the Martial Ally. If you can’t heal him, you might lose your life!”Of course, Richard understood the great influence of the Martial Ally’s leader. For 27 years, Torvik had dominated the martial arts world in Rio Dio Country. Martial Ally members surely po
Wilona’s heart was in turmoil, unable to accept this shocking news. How could she accept it? Richard was just an adopted child of the Dwayne family, someone useless. After leaving the Dwayne family, he had no money or power. How could a single word from him cause Monolith Group to go bankrupt?Even if Richard admitted it was his doing, Wilona still couldn’t believe it.“This is impossible. It can’t be because of you,” Wilona argued. “How could Monolith Group, worth hundreds of trillions, go bankrupt overnight? This news must be wrong. I’m sure of it.”Wilona grabbed her bag and quickly ran out, her face filled with despair.Behind her, Richard remained in a very good mood. He cheerfully said, “Wilona, Wilona. You know very well that Monolith Group is worth hundreds of trillions. How could such a company suddenly be sold for just two hundred billion? The people from Ligos city are not fools.”“Why didn’t anyone else buy the company, but it ended up in your hands? Do you still not unde
“Roderick! Come out and face me right now.”“My patience has limits. Don’t test it,” Zorric shouted, scanning the room. He didn’t miss a single corner of the space with his gaze.Roderick...Hearing that name, a chill immediately crept up Reginald’s back. He froze in place, unable to move. His tongue seemed tied, and his eyes fell to the knife pointed at his throat once again.A bad omen slowly began to settle over the man. Finally, he realized the danger that was waiting for him.“Zorric, what are you talking about?” Reginald asked.Then, with fear in his voice, he yelled at Zorric, “What’s going on with Roderick? Damn it! Didn’t you bring me here to take over the troops? Soon, I’ll be your boss, Zorric. Why are you holding me captive like this?”“Are you out of your mind?”‘Slap!’ Zorric, who could no longer contain himself, suddenly turned around and slapped Reginald hard across the face.“Reginald, I’ve been holding back for a long time. You’re truly stupid. You really thought I b
Roderick’s words were strong and firm.Richard stood frozen, unable to move. He stared at the elderly man who stood in the middle of the room with a touched expression. Despite the old man’s frail body, his posture was straight and upright. His grandfather was trying to tell him something.The descendants of the Dwayne family. Only loyal to Country Rio Dio.Twenty-seven years ago, the grandfather had helped Richard’s mother escape. Across the world, there was no country that would accept them. Only Country Rio Dio risked the survival of its own nation to provide a home for the Dwayne family.Why? Why did the grandfather escape back then? Why was there no country in the world brave enough to take them in?No!All that was irrelevant now. What mattered most was that Richard had carefully memorized every word and sentence his grandfather had just spoken!“Roderick!”Zorric was truly furious, his head practically steaming with rage. He glared sharply at the old man and gave an order to h
