2024-05-15 15:17:22“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?!
Did Richard really want to die to the extent of agreeing to their divorce?
“Dharia, for the past three years, I haven’t given anything to your family, but I’ve done all the housework. Have I ever complained to you? No, right?”
“Don’t just talk about me, try looking at yourself. We’ve been married for three years, but you’ve never let me touch you. Have you ever called me ‘dear’ back? Never, right?”
“I have no money, I’m poor, useless, trash, scum, bastard, so what does that mean? It means I’m not worthy of you. Even your friends said don’t settle for a useless husband like me. You’ll only suffer for the rest of your life if you stay with me. So, according to your words, let’s just get a divorce, okay?” Richard explained at length while staring at Dharia with a mysterious gaze.
He then smiled and turned his back, walking towards the door.
“If you want a divorce, go ahead! I won’t stop you. One guy from the streets is far better than you!” Dharia retorted angrily.
Richard laughed at her response. After three years of trying hard to restrain his ego, was this what he finally got from her?
Dharia, Dharia...If only she knew his true identity. She couldn’t possibly utter those harsh and inhumane words to him. On the contrary, he was sure Dharia would always praise him every day to see his good side.
It’s a pity, Richard had already decided, it would never happen.
After deliberately retiring for three years, he had decided to hand over the large company to his wife. But with one condition, Dharia must also love him back sincerely. Now, the woman’s actions clearly showed that she was not worthy of it.
Perhaps someone from the streets would be better at managing his company. The fact that she came here precisely because her company was in trouble proved it. What would happen if he handed his company over to Dharia?
Perhaps, in an instant, the company would go bankrupt.
“Stop!” Elvan exclaimed, trying to stop Richard. “Who told you to leave? You can’t leave this place!”
Richard ignored the command.
Crack!
Elvan slammed the table in front of him hard because Richard didn’t obey his command.
“If you dare to leave this place, tomorrow morning, another grave will be filled in Almolia City! Come here! Let me tell you, today you have to kneel in front of me a hundred times, call me ‘daddy’. If not, you’ll spend your whole life in jail, or in a grave!”
Richard turned back, towards Elvan, then narrowed his eyes and asked, “Isn’t your uncle the industry minister?”
Proudly, Elvan puffed out his chest, “So what? Scared? Too late! It’s your fault, being so disrespectful. Just wait for your death, don’t be surprised if you suddenly get ambushed in the middle of the road!”
Dharia’s other friends in the room trembled hearing Elvan’s words. On one hand, they were proud to have a friend like him, but on the other hand, they were also afraid of getting into trouble with him. But one thing was for sure, they all looked at Richard with disgust.
The history of that trash man was over.
Elvan would surely not let him go so easily.
“Spend my whole life in jail?” Richard chuckled at those words. He turned his back and looked for an empty sofa, then sat down on it and said, “Okay, show me, how are you going to send me to jail.”
Elvan smiled satisfactorily seeing Richard decide to stay.
Just wait, Richard, in less than ten minutes, you’ll surely be kneeling and begging for forgiveness!
Everyone smiled seeing Richard’s bold action - which they considered foolish. He had made the wrong decision. Surely, Elvan would finish him off if he stayed.
Of course, they never knew that less than ten kilometers away, Richard’s men were driving super luxury cars with license plates reading ‘0000’. They raced at full speed, ready to pick up their big boss.
In the very back, there was an off-road vehicle containing members of the Special Team.
Every pedestrian and driver was amazed to see this. Those who were guarding the roadside shops rushed out, competing to see Richard’s convoy. Even one of the company bosses who happened to be in the area was astonished.
“That’s the Hawk Rider car, each worth hundreds of billion! There are only eighteen in the world and... One, two, three... They’ve bought them all?! Crazy! How rich is their boss to be able to buy them all?!”
“How did they come to Almolia City? What’s happening here? Could it be... Captain has returned?!”
The boss’s eyes widened as he thought about it. Just imagining the figure of the Captain and all the great deeds he had done made his hair stand on end. He vividly remembered the announcement declaring the Captain missing, whereabouts unknown.
Long live the Captain!
National heroes, saviors of all!Hooray!
As the procession moved forward, no vehicle dared to obstruct it. Everyone hastily pulled over, making way for them.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Dharia’s classmates found it amusing to see Richard’s calm face. “Hey beggar, can you still pretend to be calm? You have no money, no power, you’re just a husband following your wife, even becoming the Nelsons Family’s pet dog, but you still act like you have everything? Go apologize to Winston, maybe he’ll still forgive you!”
Once again, Richard ignored the words of those people. He just kept a straight face while waiting for the arrival of what he had been anticipating. He paid no mind to what Dharia, Winston, and their friends were thinking.
Just wait, any moment now—
Crash!
The door of the room was kicked hard until it slammed onto the floor.
A group of police officers came in wearing plain clothes. They looked around and asked sternly, “Which one of you is Richard?! Are you looking for trouble? Come here!”
In that moment, everyone’s gaze shifted to Richard.
Elvan grinned satisfactorily at their arrival. He then spoke to Richard, flaunting himself, “You fool! I warned you countless times but you still didn’t believe me. Just go die!”
After saying that, Elvan glanced at the leader of the group.
The group leader nodded discreetly and then said, “Shackle him, we’re taking him home!”
Home... To heaven.
Everyone shook their heads, thinking about how Richard would soon be leaving this world.
“Do you believe it?” Richard suddenly asked. He then leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs and arms, “If I were to appear in the government office right now, within just one hour, you’d see a lot of news about me on the internet, on TV, everywhere, causing a sensation.”
The group leader stopped and stared at Richard, “What news?”
Richard thumped his foot on the floor and stood up straight. In an instant, the weak aura of prey turned into the aura of a predator. Lightning-like flashes emanated from his eyes. His self-confidence made everyone who saw him tremble slightly.

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?

Here!Is this....Right! These are the people who caused a stir worldwide three years ago. They are the soldiers whose power is feared by the whole world. 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. She’s afraid Richard’s foolish actions

“Because I want to step back for 3 years first, and today is the last day.”“Why do you want to step back for 3 years?” Captain asked, curious about Richard’s statement.“You’ll find out soon enough.”Richard didn’t want to talk much because he couldn’t say why he had to do it.The Captain suppressed his curiosity and said, “The ones in Ligos City already got the news, now they’re waiting for your return at headquarters. 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

Open up!Never before had any member of the Nelsons Family witnessed such a commotion. One by one, the Nelsons Family cautiously approached the car, staring intently at its door.“Tik Tik Tik Tik!”One person!Two person!From the Jeep Hawk Rider, 17 other men in military uniforms and long boots, along with their captain, emerged.Anastas carefully observed their attire, feeling a sense of familiarity with the logo on their shirts, as if he had seen it the year before.“Anastas, who are your friends? How come there are so many of them?”Though Anastas didn’t know who the person before him was, in his heart, he knew he couldn’t possibly know someone as impressive as them.“Hello, I’m Anastas from Almolia City...” Anastas greeted cautiously as he approached.But they paid no attention to Anastas and stood erect, forming two rows in front of the door.Immediately, the 17 men formed two rows to the left and right, standing with their chests out and heads held high.“The Nelsons Family’s h

The entire Nelsons Family stared at Richard as if he were insane.As long as he wants?Everything in this world could be his?“Pfft... hahaha!”Anastas laughed at the thought of the woman he liked marrying a poor and clueless man.Anastas flaunted his car keys in front of Richard and said, “Can you afford to buy a car worth billions? 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! See for yourselves if I can really give you 4 billion!”Richard then put his right hand into his pocket. Those who saw it almost believed instantly. However, Richard didn’t pull out anything

“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
The Return of The Richard Dwayne Chapter 11: Elvan's plan!
The man’s heart was pounding so fast, and he immediately knelt down. The nickname that had been lost for 3 years was finally shouted from his mouth with joy, “Captain Dwayne!”“Captain Dwayne has returned! We’ve been waiting for 3 years. Hahaha. Oh, sorry, Captain Dwayne, I got too excited.”The call of Captain Dwayne to an ordinary person might not mean anything. However, that call was considered like that of a king by them.The name Captain Dwayne represented the highest entity in the business world. The Dwayne Family at that time had become the elite of society and had a lot of inherited wealth. 15 years ago, Richard disappeared for several months, then returned and led his family to glory.“Yes, I’ve come back.”“Cap ... where have you been for the past 3 years? We thought you wouldn’t come back.”“I’m in Almolia City, I’m calling because I have an important task for you.”“Ready!”“Check the incident on May 18th, 15 years ago, the kidnapping incident on East Street ... is the kid

Chapter 748: I Can Save Her!
It seemed... that voice sounded a bit like the man who had saved her five years ago.When the woman looked up, she saw the strikingly handsome features of Richard. And the confidence, along with an indescribable aura in Richard’s eyes.“This person... why does he look somewhat familiar? He’s like... the man who saved me five years ago. But, is it really him? Didn’t the one who saved me back then...” the woman murmured.“Ah, no. I must be overthinking things,” she shook her head and looked toward Richard again.“At such a young age, he already wants to be the center of attention. And he’s talking about contagious diseases too. What contagious disease?!”“Honestly. Kids these days, they think too shallowly and rush into things. Not like Albin, who’s already mature and humble.”The woman’s reactions were clearly visible to the head servant of the Dwayne Family, who was still standing in the same spot.“I-Isn’t that... isn’t that Mr. Albin’s future mother-in-law? How could she be here?” t
Chapter 747: Contagious Disease!
While Albin was making all kinds of calculations in his mind, Richard, who was on the other side, had already arrived at the Grimhaven City airport with Lyonel.The journey from Myrcathia country to the Ninth Division could only be made by plane. Richard and Lyonel stood in the center of Grimhaven City, observing the city they were about to face.At first, Richard thought the Ninth Division, so powerful, should be different from other places. But it turned out that Grimhaven was not much different from other countries.“Richard, this is Grimhaven City. The Ninth Division’s Grimhaven City...” Lyonel said, standing beside Richard, his eyes filled with emotion.Richard pulled his gaze away and nodded, his eyes filled with both pleasure and a murderous intent.“This is Grimhaven City. I’ve gathered some information about this place while we were on our way here. In this City, the Dwayne Family is a middle-class family.”“The Dwayne Family... I’ve been looking forward to this.

Chapter 746: Returning a Hundredfold!
As if knowing what was on the mind of the man in the black cloak and what he was about to say, Rhydian laughed cynically.“It doesn’t matter what Talyra was like five years ago; the important thing is that Richard must become part of the Ashbourne Family! Besides, that’s his problem. What does it have to do with me?”“As long as Richard can get into that family, when the time comes, someone will naturally take care of him!” Rhydian said with complete confidence and high assurance.After hearing everything Rhydian said, the man in the black cloak nodded slowly. Actually, this issue wasn’t difficult to handle.The Dwayne Family was a middle-class family in Grimhaven City, while the Ashbourne Family was just a lower-class family in the same city.Compared to the Dwayne Family, that family was two levels lower. Therefore, the Ashbourne Family would not dare reject this marriage proposal.Typically, families from a lower social status would never reject decisions made by families from a mi
Chapter 745: A Great Figure Will Arrive!
Rhydian looked at Albin with a truly shocked expression. He could only see the confidence in Albin’s eyes about his strategy.In truth, what Albin had planned was brilliant. However, Rhydian felt that Albin’s plan was completely unexpected.But what was the real reason behind the man’s unwavering certainty about what would happen next month?Even though Albin was known for his predictive abilities, Rhydian still had a slight doubt in his heart.Was it true that a great incident would happen next month? Would the Ashbourne family perish?What mistake had the Ashbourne family made for Albin to speak with such certainty that they would be destroyed?Because in Rhydian’s mind, it was impossible for any family to be wiped out without a significant wrongdoing on their part.Unless, of course, the family had committed such a grave mistake that it harmed many people. A family like that deserved to be eradicated!At first, Rhydian wanted to ask something. But the question that was on the tip o
Chapter 744: Conspiracy!
At its core, what Rhydian was worried about was the family behind Rosalinde and her three other siblings. He feared that their family would intervene.He knew just how powerful Ravenna and her three siblings were. Once they raised their hands, they could crush the internal organs of their enemies, often leading to death.Compared to Ravenna and her siblings, the Dwayne Family was no match for the four women.As for Drakarath city in Myrcathia country, Rhydian didn’t see the country as a threat at all. Although Myrcathia country was a strong nation, surpassing others, in the end, it was just an accessory to Division Nine.Moreover, the strong individuals from Myrcathia country would also be recruited into Division Nine. So, it could be said that the strongest people in Myrcathia country were not that many and could be counted on one hand.Even if Division Nine did recruit powerful individuals from Myrcathia country, there would only be one person, at most, who would be chosen.Seeing t
Chapter 743: Albin’s Arrival!
Grimhaven City is a city of a lower tier, equivalent to a Level Three City in Myrcathia country. The status of the Dwayne Family in Grimhaven City was neither high nor low.Head of the family dreamed of raising the Dwayne Family to a higher level. He even thought of creating a puppet.“When will Richard arrive?”The head of the Dwayne Family sat in his grand chair in the living room. He stared at the old man in a black robe and asked in a cold voice.“Does he believe what you told him?”“Does he believe that the event from twenty-seven years ago was an accident?”The man in the black robe squinted his eyes, then nodded to the head of the Dwayne Family and said, “He should be on his way by now. Richard will definitely believe it.”“After all, Richard failed to investigate the secret from five years ago. Now, Richard has forgotten everything. Even his memories have been taken by Mr. Albin. Therefore, it is even more impossible for him to know anything.”“As long as we find the right rea

However, because her identity made it difficult for her to present herself freely, perhaps it was better to switch to someone else...The softness in Rosalinde’s eyes gradually faded. The woman turned around and left, heading straight to her laboratory.Upon reaching the laboratory and securely closing all access to it, Rosalinde altered her appearance, her face, body, and even her aura. She then changed her clothes. Afterward, she stood in front of the mirror.The face reflected in the mirror looked very ordinary and unremarkable. Rosalinde, who had once been extraordinarily beautiful and capable of making every man kneel, now appeared plain and simple.The woman touched her cheek and murmured softly, “How could I not worry about Richard going to the Dwayne Family’s residence!”“How could I stay calm when you went alone to Division Nine!”Having said that, Rosalinde opened the door to her laboratory. A pair of clear, cold eyes, like water, were raised. She immediately left the labora
Chapter 741: It’s Not That Simple!
“Because on one occasion, I went to Grimhaven City. Then, on my way back to Myrcathia country, I met Albin.”“At that time, on a bridge, there was a famous, great figure who, by chance, was about to cross the bridge. But suddenly, Albin appeared and stopped him.”“Albin then told him that the bridge would collapse in three minutes. He also said that no one should cross the bridge.”“In the end, the bridge did indeed collapse three minutes later. At first, I didn’t think much of it.”However, after Jonathan heard Albin’s last words, it made him recall the incident with the bridge.Right after Jonathan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the laboratory grew eerily silent. Everyone instinctively furrowed their brows, remaining still without saying a word.Rosalinde’s fingers, which were slightly limp, brushed against each other. The issue Jonathan mentioned should have been a trivial matter. Or something that could simply be considered a coincidence.But Rosalinde felt that it wasn’t th
Chapter 740: Interrogating Jonathan!
Thud!Jonathan, who was brought into the laboratory, immediately lost all strength in his legs the moment he saw Rosalinde, Richard, and Mikael standing there.He dropped to his knees and, trembling, said, “Respect to Lady Rosalinde. Respect to Young Master.”Richard’s cold, emotionless gaze locked onto Jonathan, as though he were studying the man carefully.Jonathan, feeling that gaze, immediately began to tremble uncontrollably. The instant he felt Richard’s eyes on him, a chill spread across his back.Silently, he kept praying in his heart. He prayed that Richard would only ask about Kjell and wouldn’t suspect him.He had already come up with countless excuses in his mind, thinking of how to respond to Richard’s questions.After a moment, Richard’s sharp, cold voice sounded above Jonathan’s head, “Are you Kjell’s Master?”“To answer Young Master’s question, yes, I am his Master.” Jonathan’s heart trembled, and he quickly replied.Step by step, Richard walked over to Jonathan’s side
