Thud!

The loud thud made everyone jump in surprise.

“Ahhh!!!” the man cried out in pain, clutching his head and releasing his grip on Dharia.

Immediately, someone else shouted in response, “Blood! He’s bleeding!”

“Richard, are you crazy?! This is Elvan Winston, the nephew of Diamond Group’s general manager, Mr. Raylon Winston! Have you had enough of life to dare hit him until he bleeds like this?!” Dharia exclaimed, feeling weak as not only had ten billion disappeared just like that, but she was also facing trouble with the largest company in Almolia City.

Diamond Group’s general manager—what kind of madman would dare challenge him?

“Richard! How dare you hit me?!” Elvan stared at Richard with bloodshot eyes as blood flowed down his face. His right hand pressed against the wound on his head, trying to stop the bleeding.

The entire room froze upon hearing Winston’s outcry. No one dared to stand in the way of the nephew of Diamond Group’s general manager. It was akin to signing their own death warrants.

Richard ignored Winston’s shout. His focus was solely on Dharia, whose face had turned pale witnessing this horrific scene. “Darling, I’m sorry, okay? For the past three years, I’ve let you be humiliated by so many people. From now on, no one will ever be able to disrespect you again. Shall we go home? I’ll take care of the company matters.”

Go home?

Richard was still thinking about going home after what he had just done?

After everything he had just done?

“Dharia Nelsons, from the Nelsons Family, right? Richard, isn’t it? Alright!” Elvan suddenly spoke. He stared at Richard with cold eyes, like a wild beast observing its prey. “I didn’t want to mention this earlier, but since you’ve gone too far, I’ll tell you anyway. The general manager of Diamond Group, he’s my uncle. The local police chief is also my uncle. My cousin is the deputy minister of industry!”

“Dharia, let me tell you, if you don’t make this scoundrel kneel down and apologize to me a hundred times today, don’t expect your family and this scoundrel to ever set foot in this city again!”

Wow!

Elvan’s connections surprised everyone who heard them. Even Dharia was almost fainting from shock. She had long known that Winston’s family background was powerful, but she didn’t realize it was this strong.

“Don’t touch me!” Dharia exclaimed to Richard, pushing his hand away. “Go away, far away!”

Dharia approached Winston, then apologized to him, “I’m sorry... He didn’t mean it, please, don’t be so angry...”

She turned to Richard, “What are you just standing there for?! Didn’t you hear what he said? Kneel down a hundred times!”

“Damn, I’m so unlucky, marrying a scumbag like you! For three years, all you’ve done is ask for money from me, and now you’re humiliating me in front of everyone? Use your brain for once! Apologize to Elvan Winston!”

Richard clenched his fists upon hearing his wife’s words. He realized, for the first time, how much Dharia despised him. All this time, he had been considered a beggar by his own wife. Perhaps that’s why Dharia now wanted him to kneel before that bastard Winston.

“Darling, I really can help your company. Please trust me, just this once. Okay?” Richard asked, looking at his wife with a serious expression. Just one chance, he would prove that he could do what he had just said.

Unfortunately, after living together for three years, Dharia had seen how useless Richard was.

“You don’t need to say anything! I’m sick of it. Apologize now!”

Sick?

Richard smiled bitterly, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, “What if I don’t want to?”

It was the first time he had opposed his wife’s words. Usually, he would never go against Dharia’s commands, blows, or insults. But, as he had said earlier, today was different from any other day.

Immediately, Dharia reflexively raised her hand and slapped Richard’s cheek.

Slap!

Dharia’s palm met Richard’s cheek, making a loud sound that silenced everyone again. No one had expected Dharia to slap her own husband in front of them.

But the silence didn’t last long. A few seconds later, they all started laughing at Richard, “That’s it! Don’t pamper this jerk, slap him a few more times if necessary!”

“Agree! Someone who only knows how to ask for money should be treated like this! Why bother being kind to him?”

Richard gently rubbed his cheek.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter, laughing at himself. For three years, he had hoped to touch Dharia’s heart. But it seemed that it was all just an illusion. He was so foolish, hoping for something that could never happen.

His hard work over the years, doing all the household chores delegated to him by the Nelsons Family. The secrets he occasionally wanted to reveal but held back with all his might until the right time came. It was such a pity that when that time truly arrived, Dharia only grew to hate him more.

“I. Will. Not. Apologize!”

“Richard!” Dharia stared coldly at her husband. “Have you ever earned any money from your own work all this time? No, right! Have you ever bought me a gift? No, you haven’t! Help the company? Forget it! Apologize now, or we’re getting a divorce! I regret having such a useless husband like you!”

Divorce?

Once, he had feared this word greatly. He might even have considered suicide if it had come to that, but now it wasn’t like that anymore. At this moment, he only felt disappointment towards that woman. He never thought his own wife would slap him and threaten him for another man.

Elvan laughed upon hearing Dharia’s words.

“This scumbag wouldn’t survive if he gets divorced, you know? His food, drink, even his place to live, all provided by the Nelsons Family. What are you waiting for? Come here, apologize, or you’ll be divorced.”

He then turned to Jaslene, “You see, Jas, when you’re looking for a husband, don’t choose someone like this guy! Your whole life will be miserable if you end up with a life partner like Richard. Dharia here is a great example for you, so you don’t mimic what he does.”

“Okay,” Richard said, still clenching his fists. While forcing a smile on his face, he said to Dharia with a trembling voice, “I’m sorry.”

Dharia felt relieved that Richard finally followed her words. She knew he would obey her like a dog obeys its owner when threatened with divorce. Indeed, she always regarded her own husband as a dog.

“If Winston doesn’t forgive you, you might as well die! I can’t stand looking at your face,” Dharia said before turning to Winston. “It’s all his fault, please don’t take it to heart. He’s about to apologize—”

“Dharia, you seem to have misunderstood. What I meant earlier wasn’t apologizing to that person.” Richard said.

“So, what do you want!” Dharia yelled in frustration.

Elvan’s laughter interrupted their conversation, “You don’t want to apologizing? Then what do you want? Want to lick my shoes like a dog? Come here, come here, I’ll give you my shoes. Lick them clean so you won’t divorce Dharia!”

Once again, everyone laughed at Winston’s mockery. They all thought the same thing, Richard couldn’t possibly divorce Dharia. That man couldn’t survive on his own. If he were kicked out of the Nelsons Family, Richard would surely die of starvation on the streets.

As everyone waited for Richard to lick Winston’s shoe, the man suddenly shook his head.

What Richard did next left everyone stunned. From Dharia, who looked at him in disgust, to Winston and everyone who had belittled him…

    Richard raised his index finger and pointed it at every officer present in the room. “You, you, you... All of you... Today’s your last day! The Almolia City Prison, which is 160,000 square meters in size, will be leveled to the ground!”Why?Because he had the power to do so.Because his three-year leave had ended.Because he was Richard Dwayne, the man who made the whole world submit to him!Indeed, his words were not mere boasting as everyone had assumed. He could easily dispose of them all in less than ten seconds. Flattening the city prison? That was easy for him!

Everyone in this country knows who they are. The same goes for people abroad.“How’s that?” Elvan asked, leaning forward, trying to get a clearer look at the business card thrown by the captain. He then intentionally made a surprised expression, though not genuinely surprised, “Wow! A world-class elite group? That’s insanely scary!”Seeing Richard’s expression unchanged, Dharia became increasingly annoyed, “You still don’t realize how ridiculous your actions are! One, you hired these people to pretend to be a world-class elite team. Two, you made fake identities to convince them. Three, you no longer respect Winston. I’m sick of you!”After speaking, Dharia took her bag from the table and stepped towards the door. It’s better to escape from this place before the situation gets more complicated.

Until now, I still can’t believe I finally found you....”“I still don’t want to go home now.”Richard immediately cut off the Captain’s speech without waiting for him to finish. Richard had a habit of putting his hand in his pocket, and inside he felt a bank card.The card... was the card Richard wanted to give to Dharia at the hotel.“Eh?” all the team members were surprised to hear it and turned to Richard simultaneously. “Why? Everyone has been waiting for you to come home.”“Yes, let’s go home together!”“Country Rio Dio still needs you, and there are still many

I’ve heard Aunt say you’re worthless, but turns out you’re not just poor but also full of yourself. Now the Nelsons Family is short of 4 billion. You’re rich, right? Let’s see it!”“Do you really want me to see the money?”“Go ahead! Don’t just talk! Poor people are so full of themselves!”“Hahaha, Carmen’s husband wants to help our company? Amazing. Come on, show us your card.”Whether it was Anastas or the Nelsons Family, they all spat harsh words at Richard.“Okay!

    “This card must be fake, right? You’re not close to him, are you?”The Nelsons Family was puzzled as they looked at Anastas because he kept denying Richard’s relationship with the Captain. It seemed like he still couldn’t believe what had just happened.But Richard just smiled arrogantly as he lifted the card in his hand.“Do you think I’m not close to him? Do you think this card is fake?”“Pfft, who knows? It’s been 3 years, you didn’t even have money to buy Dharia a birthday gift, how could you possibly....” Anastas retorted while looking at the card in Richard’s hand.But the moment Anastas saw the picture on the card ... there were the initials “ML”!Monolith Bank!There was no mistake, that card was a Monolith Bank card!Only someone whose wealth could match that of the Monolith Group held a ML bank card!“Anastas.

    Everyone fell silent upon hearing Richard’ words.“Are you sure you want to divorce Dharia?” Carmen asked.“I didn’t hear wrong, did I? This trash wants to divorce Dharia?” her sister chimed in. “Is it because he’s scared of Winston being angry, so he wants to run away?”Richard’s last hope for Dharia vanished when he saw the hatred on Dharia’s face.“Tomorrow I’m going to the civil registry office to arrange the divorce papers,” said Richard. “With the backing of your friend who claims to be the general manager of Diamond Group, I can get him fired with just one word from me! Don’t expect me to apologize to him!”At first, Carmen felt extremely happy that Dharia could finally escape from the useless man and now marry a wealthy man.But she was surprised when she heard Richard’ words earlier, “Hey, can you actually do that? Do you even know who the general manager of Diamond Group is? Do you know how big Diamond Group is? Look at yourself first, you poor thing! Richard, do you really

    Richard could have become Young Master’s guard without a single scratch, Mikael thought.Thinking about this, Mikael turned to Richard and said, “Richard, in ten minutes, we’ll arrive in Drakmor City. From what I’ve heard, the boss there is extremely powerful. We should stop and observe the situation first. I need to make a call.”Richard nodded. Then, he watched as Mikael took out his phone and dialed a number.It only took a few seconds before the call connected. The person Mikael was calling was Dainrick’s assistant.“Hello, is this Mr. Dainrick’s assistant? This is Mikael, Lady Rosalinde D’Velaris’s student. Could you please connect me to Mr. Dainrick?” Mikael greeted politely.“Mikael?” The voice on the other end sounded displeased.“Sorry, Mr. Dainrick can’t take calls right now. He needs to rest after just arriving in Drakarath city.”Without waiting for a response, the assistant immediately hung up.

    Meanwhile, in Drakarath city.The Nine Families had yet to receive any news from Stefan. An entire day had passed, and he still hadn’t arrived with Aurora.This, of course, made them both worried and anxious. After all, Aurora should have arrived by now with Him.As the most valuable person to Richard, Aurora—and the child she carried—could be used as leverage to force Richard into surrendering to them.Since there had been no word from Stefan, they finally decided to contact him and ask about their progress so far. They were confident that, with Stefan’s strength, bringing Aurora—despite her pregnancy—should have been an easy task.“Call him and find out where he is right now! When will Aurora be brought here?! It’s been a full day, and still no word. Useless!” barked one of the senior figures in the family.Hearing the order, a man in a gray robe quickly pulled out his phone and searched for Stefan’s contact.

    How could the man be standing in front of her again? What exactly happened?The woman in the black dress was almost losing her mind, not expecting that Richard would return one day. She never imagined herself being in a position like this.It’s over! Her life is finished!Richard stepped forward, gripping a knife in his hand, and walked toward her. The woman’s face was filled with fear, her eyes brimming with tears.“Tell me where you’ve locked up my friend?!” Richard asked coldly.The woman stood still for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I won’t tell you where he is! No one knows, and you won’t find him!”“Richard, I had no control over what happened five years ago. But now, I admit my mistakes. So please, just let me go.”“If I die, I’ll take your friend with me!” the woman threatened stubbornly.Even though Richard had no memory of the events from five years ago, all the emotions, feelings, anger, and grudges in his heart were still vivid and undeniable.The man who was lo

However, she quickly snapped back, reminding herself that this couldn’t be happening. That man had died five years ago.“Tch! Leader? Your leader died five years ago! There’s no way he’s coming back!” she sneered with a mocking smile and dismissive gaze.“You think calling out like this will make me afraid? I’ll give you one last chance—kneel and hand over Richard’s head to me!”“If not, don’t blame me for what I might do to his friends!”The woman was sure these members intended to gather information from her, so she refrained from acting like they normally would.“Tch!” one of the members in front of her hissed.They all stood still, not moving an inch.

Rosalinde had asked Mikael to protect Richard, and for that reason, Mikael would no longer stray far from the man.He wanted to guarantee Richard’s safety, even if it meant risking his own life. The same went for the members of Hellfire Group.They wouldn’t let their boss be separated from them again. Richard was their leader, and the members of Hellfire Group would only obey their leader’s orders, not the mysterious woman in black who appeared from nowhere.Currently, they were heading to the base at the palace where the Hellfire Group was located. They wanted to end their suffering that had lasted for the past five years.Richard had returned, which meant that the cunning woman no longer

    A second later, he burst into loud laughter and said, “Hahaha! What are you doing? Do you think you can kill me with a knife like that? Trash like you could kill me?!”“I will stand still here and let you stab me! You won’t even be able to hurt me, not even a single hair!” the man said arrogantly and confidently.Even Aurora’s earlier stab only managed to wound his outer skin, and that was because he wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings.Now, he was fully aware that Hallvard was holding the knife and walking towards him. Did he think he could make him let his guard down? What kind of joke was that?!Just as the man in black stood there, smirking with a condescending look directed at Hallvard, the latter swiftly directed the knife with a movement as fast as the wind towards the man in black.The people around them seemed to smirk in amusement, thinking Hallvard wouldn’t be able to hurt the man in black.“Don’t get near him! That knife won’t be able to hurt him! Go away!” Aurora

    Elder Jarvis seemed to have found a guardian angel. His blood-covered hands gripped Hallvard’s sleeve tightly as he begged the man, “Hurry! Quickly help Chairlady! Find the members of the Black Emperor and ask them to help her!”“Where? Where is Aurora?” Hallvard asked again, his voice filled with panic and impatience.“Raknes’ house!”Thud!After informing Hallvard of Aurora’s location, Elder Jarvis collapsed and lost consciousness. Hallvard clenched both his fists, holding back his anger.Quickly, he stopped the bleeding from Elder Jarvis’s body and immediately ran toward the Raknes family residence.He knew that whoever did this must have extraordinary abilities. Elder Jarvis was one of the most powerful people in the Fourth-Level City. The person who had injured him so severely must have had abilities far beyond that of the old man.This had to be the work of the Nine Families, who were trying to harm Aurora!‘Aurora, you have to hold on!

    The man in black charged forward, barreling toward Elder Jarvis with the speed of the wind!He strangled the old man’s neck, lifting Elder Jarvis’s chin upwards. His eyes gleamed with a cold and murderous light.Although Elder Jarvis’s eyes were starting to roll upwards, he still showed no signs of giving up or retreating.“I-I... I-I can’t... let you... t-take... M-Madam Chairlady!”It was impossible! Elder Jarvis wouldn’t let the man in black take the leader’s wife, even if it meant sacrificing his own life!Even at this moment, his only concern was Aurora’s safety. He had promised Richard he would protect his wife, even if it meant sacrificing everything, including his life.Seeing that Elder Jarvis could barely hold on, the man in black grinned wider, his smile becoming cruel.Aurora, noticing Elder Jarvis’s face growing paler and his breath growing shallow, finally decided to act.“Sir! Be careful!”Clement’s shocked cry was followed by the sound of a knife plunging into skin.Au

    In his mind, Clement laughed maliciously and thought that Aurora definitely wouldn’t know that what awaited her arrival at Raknes’ residence was death for her!About ten minutes later, Aurora and Elder Jarvis arrived at the door of Clement’s house. The man walked toward them, smiling broadly. No one would notice that his gaze radiated a murderous glare and deep resentment.“Ah! Finally, you’ve arrived. Let’s go inside now, the medicine is inside,” Clement said, greeting them.Aurora glanced briefly at Elder Jarvis, asking with her eyes if there was anything strange inside this house. Elder Jarvis squinted and shook his head, signaling that there was nothing dangerous.Elder Jarvis didn’t sense the presence of anyone with great abilities inside the house. But if the person’s abilities were far greater than his, Elder Jarvis wouldn’t be able to sense it.
