“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
“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
