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

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 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

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. Mikael couldn’t believe what had just happened.Frowning, he redialed the numb

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. After waiting for a while, he still couldn’t get through to him.The man t

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

“Welcome back, Leader!” The unified voices echoed, freezing the woman in black as she heard them.Her brows furrowed as she thought, who exactly were they calling “leader”?Her legs weakened, almost collapsing beneath her as she had a sudden realization. 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. Seeing this, the woman in black became even more enraged. She glared fiercely at
Chapter 691: Old Grudges Will Be Avenge!
At this moment, Richard had arrived in the First-Class City with the members of the Hellfire Group.Mikael, who was worried about Richard and afraid that the man might end up in a dangerous situation, decided to follow him wherever he went.After all, Richard was his responsibility toward Rosalinde. 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
Chapter 689: Stand and Stab Me!
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! If not, Richard will be destroyed!’Hallva
Chapter 688: Hallvard Arrives!
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
Chapter 687: Threatening Aurora!
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. However, he thought that in this Fourth-Tier City, there shouldn’t be anyone with such immense power. After all, in this city, only a
