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
“Let your poor boyfriend see what real wealth looks like. The Skyler family is not the type of people who can be taken advantage of so easily!” Wilona said, turning around and walking toward the balcony door.The Skyler family also followed her out to the balcony. A moment later, they gasped in awe as they saw what lay before them.In front of them were ninety-nine luxury cars neatly lined up in front of the Skyler residence.“My God! Wilona, your boyfriend is so rich!” her aunt exclaimed, her eyes still fixed on the luxury cars.“Why not just send a debit card? How could he send so many luxury cars! It’s just like people say, it’s better to marry into a wealthy family than to be born into one!”“Anyway, in the future, you’ll have to live and move into your husband’s house. If a husband has no money, you’ll suffer forever!” Hollie added, deliberately glancing at Richard.Aurora was irritated by her family’s remarks about Richard. She pulled on his arm, intending to leave. But her move
Aurora wasn’t the type to show kindness to anyone who had wronged her. Her sympathy was only reserved for those who treated her well. As for her family, they only cared about their own interests! Don’t expect her to be nice to any of them!***After leaving Skyler’s residence, Richard contacted Ramiro and sped quickly to the private hospital owned by the man. When he arrived, the atmosphere around the hospital was already terrifying. Several level-S soldiers lay helplessly, blood seeping all over their bodies. They struggled to stand, pressing their hands against their wounds when they saw Richard approach.“Where’s Ramiro?! Where’s the baby?!” Richard demanded, grabbing the collar of one of the soldiers.“Who are you?” the soldier asked, staring at Richard, who wasn’t wearing his face mask.Richard didn’t have time to entertain pointless questions. He gave a brief response and asked again, “I’m the one helping Ramiro. What happened? Where’s the baby?”“It was taken by a group dressed
When the baby’s extended family arrived at the headquarters, Richard was not there. He was busy accompanying Aurora, who was looking for jewelry and a wedding ring.While Aurora was browsing the jewelry, she suddenly bumped into Sabella, her elementary school classmate.“Aurora, is that really you? What are you doing here?” asked Sabella, surprised to see her friend. “Are you looking at rings, Aurora? Are you planning to get married?” she asked again.Aurora smiled shyly and replied, “Yes, once my grandpa returns from his business trip, I’ll start discussing it with him. Right now, I’m preparing a few things before having a deeper conversation with my grandpa.”“You know, I don’t have many friends here. If you’d like, would you be one of my bridesmaids at the wedding?”Although Sabella was known to have a rather arrogant personality, she was always kind to Aurora. Hearing Aurora’s request, Sabella nodded happily. “Of course! I thought you’d forgotten about me!” “But Aurora, I heard
Of course, negotiations would turn into an act of revenge. All of his descendants had been killed without a trace. What else could he do but seek revenge?Thinking about this, cold sweat appeared on Richard’s back.“I’m glad I saved that baby. But the consequences were beyond my imagination.”Saving the baby meant saving the Prime Minister of Vandrelis Country. At that moment, all praises were directed at him. Even the Prime Minister of Vandrelis Country would surely owe him a great debt. An invaluable help.It was no wonder that the nobles and enemy factions were so eager to kidnap that baby. It seemed they had long known the identity of Gonzalez.“Where are the people sent by Vandrelis Country?” Richard suddenly asked, as though under pressure.“At the Crowned Club, the headquarters,” Eno quickly answered.“I heard that the man whose face resembles your mask has confessed and is now volunteering to meet with the person responsible for Vandrelis Country.”Recently, Richard had been b
“I’ll try calling him again!” A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Eno’s mind. He dialed Ramiro’s number again.Once again, all he heard was the operator’s response.His heart raced, panic flooding over him. “Boss, what happened to Ramiro?”Hearing this, Richard seemed to grow concerned as well. Two days ago, he had told Ramiro to contact him immediately if anything happened.Moreover, Richard had stationed several S-level troops at the hospital and additional guards were posted around the building. Logically, there should have been no problems.As he was thinking about this, the car arrived right at the hospital entrance.Richard was startled by Eno’s loud voice, “Boss, Boss!”“What’s wrong? Don’t shout!” Richard said, his expression serious.“Boss, look!” Eno said, pointing to the hospital door.Richard’s eyes filled with horror. Blood was splattered everywhere. Bodies were lying on the floor. It seemed the troops and guards there had all met tragic ends.BANG! Richard hurried out
“Richard!” Reginald said heavily while staring at Richard.“Haha, we’re the ones who kidnapped that baby. You’re useless. You couldn’t even protect that baby. The Prime Minister of Vandrelis Country will arrive here in three days to pick up his grandson.”“By then, the star of the show will be Mr. Eric Chandra! And the hero, the most important person to that Prime Minister, is Mr. Eric. Do you regret wearing that leather mask? Don’t! Don’t regret it. This is your fate!”“After the Prime Minister meets Mr. Eric, I will start peeling your skin and tearing your muscles apart! So, you can know what the last laugh means! Hahahaha...”Reginald looked at Richard confidently, with a provocative smile on his face.Richard’ fists clenched tightly, and with a quick movement, he slammed them into Reginald’s face forcefully.But at that moment...Eric, who had been silent up to that point, finally spoke, “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Richard is about to marry Miss Aurora, right? Seems like you care a
