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?

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

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 n

Hmmm...” Brandy lifted her head and swept her gaze over everyone in the room.Then, he said, “So now, do you still dare say that Richard is Ravenna’s student?”“Claims are just claims, and they can’t possibly be true! If Richard is really her student, why would Ravenna still have to announce it to the world?”“Revoking Richard’s citizenship was the best decision. It’s better to hurt his feelings than to hurt the feelings of people from that mysterious place.” Brandy continued her speech arrogantly.Everyone could only lower their heads. They were really feeling bored at that moment. But no one dared to interrupt Brandy anymore.This time... The room fell silent for a moment. Brandy se

Moments later, Brandy stopped laughing and asked the messenger, “Quickly tell me, who was able to drive away the prime minister of Vandrelis Country and his army?! I will make him the new war god of this country!”“He must be better than Richard. Let Richard hear about this news. Don’t let him think that without him, we would lose. Hahaha... No! Our headquarters is full of great talents! There are many brave troops far better than that arrogant person!”“Let him...” Before Brandy could finish boasting, suddenly his words were cut off by the messenger.“It was Richard! Richard came and managed to drive away the enemy forces!”Hearing that, Brandy froze in place. Even the senior officials, who had been smiling with excitement, now had their faces stiffen.“What? What did you say? Who drove away the enemy’s forces?” Brandy asked again with a sharp gaze directed at the messenger.Now, all eyes were on him. He pursed his lips for a moment before uttering a sentence that could give them all
Chapter 448: True Friend!
“Y-You... Y-You...” Aurelian’s face turned pale from panic.“W-What did you do? How could a hundred soldiers die instantly when you landed? How did you do it? How is this possible?”Aurelian was suddenly terrified, staring at Richard with heightened vigilance. No one had seen it. It turned out that tiny silver needles had been embedded in the throats of the soldiers who had died.In one second, 100 needles, 100 lives lost. Such terrifying power.Richard remained in his landing position, one hand on the ground, his head lowered, and kneeling on one knee. As he lifted his head, he glared sharply at the Prime Minister of Vandrelis Country and gave him a sarcastic smile.“I told you, get your troops out of here quickly! So, what’s it going to be? Do you agree or not?!”“Prime Minister, unfortunately, there’s only one correct answer! If you answer correctly, you will be spared. But if you answer wrong, you’ll be buried here today.”Aurelian trembled violently upon hearing the ultimatum. Un
Chapter 447: Richard Is Here!
The voice sounded calm, without a hint of panic, just as usual. But for the general, that voice brought an immense relief and a profound change in his heart.There was no one like Richard. Someone who could remain this calm in such a critical situation and successfully push back the enemy with a single strike.At the moment the sky seemed to be falling, he arrived and said, “Don’t be afraid! I’m here!”“Captain...” The general’s red eyes slowly began to close, overwhelmed by uncontrollable tears. He didn’t know what to say, so moved was he.To him, Richard was a true hero. The general didn’t want to shame Richard for the sake of his soldiers’ safety. Apparently, this thought was shared by the troops in his heart.Richard had become like a saint. Shaming him would be a grave sin compared to allowing his soldiers to die at the enemy’s hands.Okay! Okay!Realizing Richard was coming, the general raised his head high, as if preparing to make a significant decision in his life. He gripped

“Oh… Brandy sent you here?” Richard began to speculate.But the official shook his head and replied, “No! We came here on our own initiative. We didn’t…”Seeing the senior officials humbly kneeling and bowing before him, Richard folded his arms across his chest and coldly said, “Do you think if I go there, everything will be fine between us? It doesn’t matter to me if I go. I’m curious to see what condition the headquarters is in after they drove me out, without their so-called god of war!”Hearing Richard’s words, a deep sense of guilt immediately emerged in the hearts of the officials. If it had been anyone other than Richard, they would have laughed hysterically at the headquarters’ regret over their own actions.But Richard wasn’t like that. There was a trace of pity in his heart. For them, as long as Richard was willing to see the condition at the border, there was hope he would help them.“Richard, I’ve prepared a helicopter. We can leave immediately!”Without hesitation, Richar

You made your grandfather worry to death! Uhuk... uhuk... uhuk...!”Alexander spoke with such excitement that it made him cough. Seeing her grandfather coughing so hard, Aurora’s expression changed. She quickly rushed into the house to get him a glass of warm water.At that moment, Emiel stepped forward with a guilty look and spoke kindly to Alexander. “Sir, I’m Emiel, Aurora’s father. I’ve come here to take Aurora with me.”Alexander, who had seemed indifferent at first, suddenly looked up at those words. His sharp eyes stared directly at Emiel.Emiel Nelsons? Aurora’s father?The man who caused his daughter to die in suffering, right there on the operating table?Without hesitation, Alexander raised his cane and struck Emiel’s back with anger. When struck, Emiel didn’t dodge at all. He a

The two thugs froze for a moment when a dagger pierced each of their backs. They turned and saw Aurora standing there.They didn’t know when or how she managed to escape from prison, grab two daggers, and throw them at the two thugs.“You... how did you escape?” The two men stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend that the girl they thought was weak had freed herself.Didn’t Dharia say Aurora wasn’t dangerous? Didn’t she say the woman was weak and helpless? But how could she have freed herself so quickly? This event left the two thugs staring at each other, completely stunned.In these three months, it seemed Aurora had changed a lot. She had truly become a strong woman.“You... aren’t you Richard’s father?” Aurora asked as she noticed Wilbur. “Why are you here?”Aurora became suspicious and extremely cautious. She glanced around, and there was another man standing there.Emiel’s eyes turned red. He walked toward Aurora, step by step, then spoke with affection, “Aurora? You are Auro
Chapter 443: Where is the Necklace?
Her hair was straight, just like Elena Ysabel’s, and the clothes lying on the floor weren’t the flamboyant colors typical of Elena Ysabel, but the bright colors Aurora loved.Similarly, her makeup was minimal, as though she were Aurora herself, someone who preferred not to wear makeup. These details filled Richard’s mind, almost as if they were signaling to him that the woman who had slept with him the night before wasn’t the real Aurora, but someone he no longer liked. “Just pretend nothing happened. The woman I love is Aurora. I don’t love you. This was an accident. It’s a mistake!” Richard said as he grabbed the cloth on the floor and quickly left. How could Elena miss this opportunity? Suddenly, she lifted the blanket and hurriedly followed Richard. She reached out and hugged his back.The beauty and allure of Elena’s body flashed clearly in Richard’s mind. Now, Elena was standing right in front of him.With red eyes, she asked, “Richard, is this how you treat me? Don’t you fe

A woman who has been blinded by love will surely be moved by the words of the person she loves, even if the wounds inflicted are too deep to heal. This is what Dharia is going through. The woman seemed to waver as she heard Arthur’s explanation.“I’m sorry, Dharia. You’re the only one in my heart; there’s no way I would cheat or turn to someone else,” Arthur said again, stepping forward and pulling Dharia into his embrace.“I know I shouldn’t have hidden this from you, even if Griffin asked me to. But I also didn’t have the courage to refuse his request.”“I have proof, and you can see for yourself! He asked me to record this video for him to use as proof of a threat. I really didn’t know I could be wrong about someone,” Arthur explained at length. Arthur looked at the woman before him with deep regret, which finally made Dharia close her eyes for a moment before deciding to forgive him.None of this was the man’s desire. He did it at Griffin’s request and under his pressure. Griff
