As soon as she reached the door, Dharia confidently pushed it open and walked into the interview room. She thought that this session would be just a formality and that she wouldn’t fail.

“Hello, Sir! I’m Dharia Nelsons!” Dharia said, extending her hand.

The interviewer was a middle-aged man, around 40 years old. He wore a suit and glasses. His expression was very serious with sharp, piercing eyes.

“Oh… Dharia Nelsons?!” the man said upon hearing Dharia’s voice.

Dharia lifted her head and turned around. “Yes, I’m Dharia Nelsons. I’m here for the interview regarding the project manager position. I...”

Before Dharia could finish her sentence, the man cut her off. “You can leave now!”

Dharia was stunned. She couldn’t believe what the man had just said. She asked, “Do you mean I should leave now and that the interview is over?”

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Dharia with an ironic gaze. “Over? Who said your interview was successful? I mean, you failed the interview!”

“Do you unde

    “Diamond Group wants to expand into Rio Dio Country soon.”“But the market in Rio Dio Country has been monopolized by Skyler Group, which is in the top 10 largest companies in the country.”“This month, on the 15th, there will be a cooperation negotiation with the head of Skyler Group.”“Skyler Group’s profit margin is 35%, while Diamond Group’s is 15%. What can I offer here? I can make Skyler Group give up another 5% to us by the 15th.”“Please don’t doubt me, because I can do it!”At that moment, Aurora stood directly in front of the interviewer. A brief silence fell over the room. Light emanated from Aurora’s two eyes in the midst of a fairly bright room.At that moment, anyone would be captivated by the enchanting light in Aurora’s eyes, even overshadowing her own beauty.In such a situation, it seemed Aurora no longer needed Richard’s assistance. She could fight on her own for the project manager position.Soon, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. He raised his

    As the secretary walked towards them, Richard laughed insincerely and said, “Yes, I’m very poor, I can’t even rent a single room at the Underwater Hotel. Let’s see what your birthday will be like on the 18th!”“Aurora, let’s go!” Richard said, grabbing Aurora’s hand, while Dharia still looked at them with a disgusted expression.“You and your close friend are requested to attend the Underwater Hotel,” the secretary told Dharia.Initially, Dharia wasn’t quite sure if the Underwater Hotel was really booked for her or not. But now it seemed it was indeed for her. If not, why was she being asked to go there?“Alright, tell Mr. Raylon I will definitely come,” Dharia said with great joy and a hint of arrogance, as if she were already superior to the secretary.Dharia couldn’t wait for the 18th to arrive. She and Aurora shared the same birthday, and she would be staying at the luxurious nine-star Underwater Hotel, attended by all the top officials in Ligos city. Meanwhile, Aurora? She might

    On the other side, Richard took Aurora out of Diamond Group and then looked for a place to eat.However, Aurora’s phone suddenly rang. It was Carmen, speaking loudly over the phone, “Aurora, do you have time? Come home for dinner.”Usually, Carmen never invites her to meals. Why the sudden invitation?Aurora knew the reason without needing to guess. She immediately declined, “No need, Aunt. If you have something to say, just say it directly. I know you hate me, so why pretend to be nice by inviting me for dinner?”Carmen was enraged. What did that child mean?Had she become bold enough to defy her now?Carmen showed her true colors, “Why are you speaking like that? You ungrateful child!”“Now that you’re a project manager at Diamond Group, the Nelsons family has a project. Hurry up and take it so we can work together.”From Carmen’s tone, it was clear this was an order, not a negotiation.Before Aurora could respond, Richard glanced at her and reminded, “Don’t forget how the Nelsons f

    Is it worth sacrificing Aurora’s happiness and life for this bet? Carmen and the Nelsons family are utterly outrageous.They would easily offer Aurora to a man in his 50s for their own gain. If Richard loses, Aurora’s life and happiness will be destroyed. Carmen would do anything for money, even if it meant selling Aurora.“No way!”“Anyone else is fine, but not Aurora!” Richard said.It’s not that Richard doubted he could win, but he did not want to treat Aurora as a betting chip, forever.“Wow... Are you not confident you’ll win? It seems you’re lacking self-confidence!” Carmen mocked him.“You’re pathetic, you poor man!” Carmen continued, with a disgusted look towards Richard.“Aurora!”“Can’t you see she’s completely useless?! If you live with her, you’ll only live in poverty forever!”In her heart, Aurora disagreed with Carmen’s words. On the contrary, she said firmly to Richard, “I agree to bet with her!”“What did you say?” Richard was startled and looked at Aurora in surprise.

    Richard had disappeared three years ago. And at that very moment, he had secretly entered the Nelsons family to marry Dharia. But just a few days ago, Richard announced his return. On the day of the announcement, there was news of a divorce within the Nelsons family.“Wait! Didn’t the Dwayne family go to Almolia city a few days ago? Were they there to pick up their young master? Isn’t that the day Dharia and her husband were getting divorced?”“Yes, that’s right! It was their divorce day!”“The chairman of the Skyler Group is very mysterious and unpredictable. Rumor has it, she’s still very young and beautiful. But none of us have ever seen her. She never cared about things outside Ligos city. But it seems she’s now involved in the Nelsons family. She even made a bet!”“There must be a reason!”“Yes, it seems so...”Everyone appeared excited, contemplating the matter.The big boss in Ligos city, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke seriously. Everyone seemed to be paying close

    Yet the strangeness in Aurora’s gaze was so profound and intense that it could only be maintained for a second. If it weren’t for Richard’s extremely high level of vigilance, he would not have noticed that slight change in Aurora. “You don’t know her… That’s really strange,” Raylon murmured in confusion. “I thought the head of Skyler Group knew you and was aware of your identity. If not, how could she have initiated a bet like this?”“Moreover, in this bet, everyone would have assumed the Nelsons family would win,” Raylon added.Richard was also puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said, “Maybe she investigated this matter discreetly. Besides, someone from the Dwayne family came to Almolia City. That caused quite a stir in the whole city,” Richard said.Raylon nodded slowly, although no one could see him. Then his tone suddenly became much more serious.“Mr. Richard, recently our Diamond Group has been planning to go to Ligos city and expand there. And the biggest obstacle we hav

    [Ting!] [Payment Successful!] [Received payment of six million!] What?Paying a bill of six million just for a meal? And what shocked the man even more wasn’t just that.A bastard child who couldn’t even afford a breakfast before is now casually paying a bill of six million? “You—” The man looked at Aurora incredulously. “Where did you get that much money to pay? Or maybe you’ve found a rich man now? I didn’t expect this. I used to think you were a pure person. But it turns out you’re just like other materialistic women!” the man said scornfully.Undeniably, Aurora’s appearance now is much better than it was back in high school. Especially her charm and aura that made it impossible for people to ignore her.Aurora stood with her shoulders straight. The light in her eyes was a reflection of great confidence. No one knew why such a strong aura could come from an ordinary woman. But she truly had it. And it emanated from her bones! “If a woman has money, it means she’s someone’

    “Yes. I’m dealing with a problem. A poor man dared to lay his hands on me. Alright. I’m at Now Restaurant. Good. Thanks, Franco!”The man nodded, hands on his hips, as he ended the call. Then, he looked at Richard with sharp, arrogant eyes. It was as if he was already imagining Richard kneeling and begging for mercy later.The Franco he mentioned was none other than the person Elvan had ordered a few days ago.“Richard...” Aurora called, tugging at Richard’s sleeve.“It’s okay. Don’t be afraid.” Richard signaled Aurora not to worry. “I guarantee that the Franco he’s calling will be kneeling and begging for mercy in front of me within three seconds of seeing me.”But the man didn’t feel intimidated. Instead, he burst out laughing after hearing Richard’s big talk.He no longer cared about the pain in his wrist. He laughed and said, “Hahaha! What did you just say? When Franco arrives, he’ll kneel and beg for mercy in front of you? Who do you think you are, huh?”Dharia also looked at Ric

    Richard took Hallvard to a safe location. After making sure his friend was safe, Richard stood up, gently patted Hallvard’s shoulder, and said something to him.“I know what you’re thinking. But I think you’ll understand me. You, who are greedy and afraid of dying, don’t follow me. It’s better for you to stay here.”“The effect of this drug powder will wear off in four hours. I think four hours is enough. I don’t know how many cards the Nine Families have prepared, but I do know, today, I must go, even if I don’t want to go! If I win, then we’ll all be happy.”“If I lose, you need to leave Drakarath city immediately. Wait until my master returns. Then, help me inform them about what happened today. And also, don’t forget about my wife and child.”Then, Richard paused. He looked deeply into Hallvard’s eyes, seeing the fear and resistance in the man’s expression.Richard just chuckled lightly and left a few words before walking away.“My brother, you’re a good person...”No! Hallvard di

    At first, Richard hadn’t planned to be this ruthless. He only wanted to kill the people who had been involved in the attempt on his life five years ago.But now it seemed that the entire Nine Families must die as well! Including that person named Dainrick!That person clearly didn’t like Richard. He was the one who most wanted to see Richard dead.Although Richard felt he had never met Dainrick before, his instincts told him that Dainrick didn’t like him.Seeing Richard’s rage boiling over, Hallvard’s heart began to race. He knew that a big problem was about to start!There would only be two possible outcomes to this battle: either Richard would survive, or the Nine Families would.Then, after hearing Mikael’s tone earlier, if Richard left now, the chances of him losing were very high. Because it seemed the officials had already gotten involved.Then, those mercenaries were the soldiers under the command of the four D’Velaris Families. Or, there was one last almost impossible possibil

    Suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound echoed next to Mikael’s ear. The man only felt a sharp pain in his back.Then, he turned around with a deathly pale face. What reflected in his eyes was the cruel and vicious face of the elder from the Nine Families.“You...?” Mikael stared at the elder, shocked.He then looked around and noticed that the mercenaries hiding were nowhere to be seen. Not a single one came to his aid! Why were they like that?After all, he was lady Rosalinde’s disciple. But why didn’t the mercenaries from the official’s side intervene?Could it be that Dainrick had instructed them not to take action? Why would Dainrick do that?Shouldn’t he be helping him, as he was Rosalinde’s disciple and had received direct orders from her to protect Richard?Oh! Mikael suddenly realized. Dainrick must have been manipulated into doing this to him, right? He had been poisoned with the idea of getting rid of Richard. Yes, it must be like that!Thud!The elder struck. In one swift mov

    A thought suddenly crossed his mind. Now he understood why the situation had turned out so unexpectedly. Then, he pointed at Kjell and spoke with a voice trembling with anger.“Y-You... It’s you!!! You told the Nine Families, didn’t you? You must have revealed Richard’s identity to the Nine Families!”“You’re the one who caused Richard to be pursued by assassins before even entering Drakarath city! You leaked this information. Why! Why did you do this?!”“You clearly knew the four D’Velaris Families weren’t in Drakarath city! You clearly knew the dark ambitions of the Nine Families, their obsession with the position of the guard.”“Why did you still tell those families and troops? Do you want to harm the guard directly appointed by Lady Rosalinde?!”“I’ll tell you this. When Lady Rosalinde returns, if she finds out you did this to Richard, she won’t let you off the hook!”Mikael’s body trembled violently with rage. Regarding Richard, aside from telling a few trusted people, he had onl

  • Chapter 708: Facing the Nine Families!  

    In Drakarath city right now, Richard, Mikael, and Hallvard have entered the area of Drakarath city. Since Lyonel’s wounds have not fully healed, all members of the Hellfire Group remain temporarily in the First-Level City.Once the three of them arrived in Drakarath city, the first thing Mikael did was speak to Richard.“Richard, by now, the officials must have revoked all of your status. Mr. Dainrick seems to have been deceived by the Nine Families.”“So, he’s listened to the Nine Families, and now he has certain opinions about you. I’ll go see him now. I’ll explain everything clearly to him!” Mikael said confidently.“Are you sure?” Richard asked, raising an eyebrow slightly. Then he added, “Why do I feel like this person named Dainrick isn’t deceived at all, but simply doesn’t like me? He probably already didn’t like me from the start!”Richard’s guess came from his intuition. His intuition told him that the person named Dainrick wanted him dead.Especially since his intuition had

    However, just when Dainrick was certain and thought Rosalinde and the others wouldn’t return to Myrcathia country anytime soon, outside Myrcathia country, there was a figure approaching the country at the fastest speed.Rosalinde’s white gown, perfectly clean with no stains, fluttered in the wind.If someone in Drakarath city could see her expression right now, they would immediately be filled with fear, trembling uncontrollably. For this woman was surrounded by an aura of murder.And on top of that, her overflowing anger! The rage had only intensified because, up to this point, Rosalinde still hadn’t managed to acquire the main ingredient for the medicine that would heal Richard’s internal energy and memory.Then, when she discovered who had killed her disciple five years ago, her anger was beyond words.She knew the ones responsible for killing her disciple five years ago had returned. According to the information, it was the Nine Families who had done it.“The Nine Families! Well d

    “If not, when the true ruler of Drakarath city returns, won’t they have to deal with him? That’s why he will definitely find any way to kill me!”“Right now, let’s go to Drakarath city!”“He dares to disqualify me as a guard, so I dare to wipe out the Nine Families right in front of everyone in Drakarath city! I want to see, after Rosalinde returns, who she will support!” After hearing Richard’s confident words, Mikael still felt worried.What the man was worried about was because the entire Drakarath city knew the status and position of Dainrick. Richard’s status was really nothing compared to Dainrick’s.However, Mikael didn’t dare to say anything. He could only place his bet on Richard for this time. He had decided to protect Richard. So, no matter what happened, he had to be by Richard’s side.It would take about one hour to go from Drakarath city to Class One City. However, traveling from Class One City to Drakarath city would take a whole day.Since the level of each city was di

    The woman in black suddenly trembled violently. She still wanted to beg for mercy. She cast a pleading look at Richard, hoping that he still had a shred of compassion left for her.“Please, don’t kill me... I was wrong, yes, I was wrong! Please, don’t come any closer! I beg for forgiveness!”“I’ve already confessed all my wrongdoings. What more do I need to do for you to forgive me? Please, don’t kill me!”“I promise I won’t get involved with you again. I will leave this country as far as possible. Please, believe me!”The woman in black continued to plead and beg as Richard slowly approached her, dragging the long knife in his hand.But Richard didn’t acknowledge the deceitful woman at all. He kept walking toward her, his gaze sharp and cynical.“Believe you? Do you think that by believing in you, I can trust that you won’t do something wicked behind my back?”“Look at you now. When I wasn’t around, what did you do? You took over my Hellfire Group and tortured them. Do you think I di

    Moreover, the young girl in front of her was very obedient and devoted, kind-hearted, and thoughtful.Feeling a bit guilty, the beautiful woman allowed the girl to stay with her.Perhaps her actions were a manifestation of her prayers, asking God to open her eyes. Seeing the beauty of the woman’s heart, God could show kindness to her own daughter.“If you have this intention, I would be very grateful and thankful to you. However...”The beautiful woman once again blamed herself. “I don’t even know where she is now. It’s been over 20 years... I was never by her side, never gave her affection.”“I truly don’t deserve to be a mother...” the beautiful woman said softly.“Mom, please don’t say that,” the girl said sadly.“Back then, I did it because I had no choice. Now, I will search for her across the world, no matter the means. I will bring your sister back safely!”“Will you really go look for her?” asked the beautiful woman.Her gaze fell upon the girl she had abandoned over 20 years
