“Huh? Why is it so quiet? I think I still heard gunshots and people’s screams earlier, but now it’s completely silent. Could something have happened to Richard?” Aurora started to panic and began tiptoeing and hopping slightly to peek outside through the ventilation gap.There was no one outside, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became eerily quiet and tense. “Ms. Aurora, what’s the situation outside?”Aurora furrowed her brow upon hearing Ramiro’s question. She was overwhelmed with an extraordinary sense of panic and confusion.“It seems like the fight outside has ended. I’m worried something happened to Richard.” Ramiro simply furrowed his brow, confused, and asked, “Should we go out?”“Wait a little longer, let’s wait for one more minute. If there’s still no sound or sign of anything, then we’ll go out,” Aurora replied uncertainly.Just as she finished speaking, a sound came from outside. Aurora’s heart suddenly stopped, her body tensed, becoming alert. In a silence like th
Seeing Roderick, who was so stubborn, made the two guards reluctantly agree to let him go. “You guard Mr. Roderick and exit through the back door. Take him to the main base with our car. I’ll go to the lobby and find Mr. Roderick’s grandson,” instructed the other guard.“Understood,” his companion replied, immediately moving to take Roderick out through the back door. Roderick, worried that the guards might mistakenly identify his grandson, intentionally reminded them again, “Not Reginald Dwayne. My grandson is the one who saved the S-level soldier earlier. Remember! Don’t mistake the wrong person!”The one who saved an S-level soldier? Mr. Roderick’s grandson is that capable?The guard was both surprised and excited at the same time. The reluctant feeling he had about helping the old man’s grandson was immediately replaced by an overwhelming sense of admiration. He quickly ran toward the lobby.Just as the guard arrived, he saw a familiar figure sneakily exiting and running.“Mr. R
After saying those words, Richard pulled his hand back and ran into Hellio Room without turning back. Only thirty-seven seconds remained from the current time until the bomb would explode.Seeing the back of the man disappearing from her sight made Aurora’s heart ache. Half of her soul seemed to be forcibly pulled away, leaving her feeling empty.“Richard! Richard! You have to come back! I’ll hold you to your promise to marry me! If you don’t come back, I’ll die in there with you! I won’t look for anyone else and will die right in front of you, making you feel guilty forever!” Aurora shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks.She was terrified that Richard might never appear in front of her again. But at the same time, she couldn’t bear to see an innocent baby die so easily.Her cry echoed into the lobby and lingered in Richard’s ears. His heart skipped a beat, and with clenched fists, he muttered, “I’m sorry...”Richard wasn’t sure if he would make it out of this place alive.“Help...
A slight look of anxiety appeared in the woman’s eyes. She dared not respond, fearing it might make Richard more suspicious of her.All she could do was gaze intently at the child in Richard’s arms, then say, “Nothing, nothing at all. He just comes from a regular family. I’ll contact the child’s family and ask them to come pick him up directly.” Richard squinted as he watched the woman’s back, growing farther away. He spoke to Ramiro in a voice loud enough to be heard, “Mr. Ramiro, I heard you have a private hospital, right? Take the child there immediately! I entrust him to you. Remember! Don’t let anyone have the child without my consent!” Ramiro quickly nodded, replying, “Understood! Leave it to me.” Richard was sure the woman had slowed her pace when he spoke to Ramiro earlier. It seemed like she had paid special attention to the child. When the crowd had started to disperse, Richard gave orders to his S-tier soldiers:“Follow Ramiro, and report to me directly if anything happe
Richard arrived at the Citadel Hotel, successfully locating the VIP room occupied by his wife, Dharia Nelsons.Dharia Nelsons, the most beloved person in the entire Nelsons Family. Her unmatched beauty attracted many young billionaires.However, it all ended about three years ago.Her Grandfather Nelsons, one of the elders of the Nelsons Family, forced Dharia to marry Richard, someone who was poor and had no power whatsoever.Since then, Dharia’s name became the subject of ridicule for many.Today is the day when Dharia’s classmates are holding a reunion event.If only her company wasn’t in trouble, and she didn’t need billions of monies to maintain its stability, she wouldn’t have come to this event.“Dharia, they said you’re married, right? So, why are you here alone? Why didn’t you bring your husband with you?”“Remember, you used to be the campus heartthrob, right? How could you marry a poor guy? Those gossips aren’t true, right? I can’t believe you did what they all said.”“Oh ye
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 ow
“I promise to divorce you,” Richard said in a flat tone.What?! Once again, Richard’s unexpected action left everyone stunned. That useless trash was planning to divorce Dharia? What about his own life? Could someone like him survive when let loose on the streets? Who would want to hire Richard anyway?He’d surely starve to death!Richard couldn’t possibly promise to kneel before Elvan. What was wrong with apologizing? His earlier actions were solely to protect his wife, as a husband, it was obviously something he should do.Dharia’s mouth hung open, shocked by Richard’s words. Elvan was similarly taken aback. Who would have thought that the useless man would decide to divorce Dharia? Since when did this obedient man turn so stubborn?Had he been struck by lightning?“What? What did you just say?” Dharia asked, making sure she heard Richard correctly. There must be something wrong with her ears.She didn’t mishear, did she?This trash really wanted to divorce her?How could this be?!
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! He had plenty of henchmen who could do it in just one day.The leader of the group fell silent for a moment, then snorted and laughed, “Hahaha! You brat! Are you that crazy out of fear of death? Leveling the prison to the ground? Hello? Do you even know who you are dealing with? A parasite in the Nelsons Family, given food to eat, and now you’re trying to act tough? Stop dreaming!”After speaking, the officers in the roo
