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
The smile on Elvan’s face suddenly froze. Even the joyful expression on the face of Aurora’s old friend also froze. Dharia’s eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief. Everyone stared at Richard in utter astonishment, their mouths agape. The surroundings became eerily quiet and still.What exactly were they witnessing?Thud!Richard threw a punch at the man called Thirteen, who was charging at him. Just as Thirteen got close, Richard’s punch sent him flying, crashing onto the cold, hard floor.But it wasn’t over. In the blink of an eye, Richard had already advanced toward the head manager. The middle-aged man didn’t even have time to react to the sudden attack.Richard kicked the nearest wall with one foot. Using the wall’s force, he launched himself, his body soaring over a meter above the ground. Then, he raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the head of King MMA’s head manager.As the head manager collapsed to the floor, Richard retracted his leg. He then spun his b
The sentence struck everyone’s ears like a thunderclap. Even Dharia’s heart began to beat erratically, almost unconsciously.She stared at Richard in front of her, suddenly feeling that the man had become very alien to her. Since when had he stopped being a compliant person who would just agree with everyone’s requests?Since when had he stopped being someone who wouldn’t fight back no matter how much he was insulted? Since when had he stopped being a poor person who couldn’t even afford to eat in a restaurant?“Richard,” Dharia said. “He hasn’t done anything wrong. There are limits to everything. Besides, he’s my friend. Please watch your attitude.”Dharia felt deeply uncomfortable. Especially when she saw Richard protect Aurora so fiercely and Franco show such respect to Richard. The sight was deeply disturbing to her.“Aurora, just hit him,” Richard said softly to Aurora, completely ignoring Dharia’s words.When Dharia realized Richard was ignoring her, she was instantly enraged.
Raylon was too afraid to tell Richard about the missing item. If Richard found out that the item was lost, Raylon feared that his own life might be at risk as well.Therefore, the first thing that the General Manager of Diamond Group thought of was to recover the item.Just as Elvan was following Raylon’s orders to contact people who could help, Richard had already taken Aurora away from Now Restaurant.“Richard,” Aurora called. She lowered her head and looked at Richard’s large, warm hand holding hers.“Do you really not worry about being misunderstood when you hold my hand like this? You just got divorced a few days ago. Are you trying to make Dharia angry on purpose?” Aurora asked.Women are the most prone to suspicion, and Aurora was no exception. She could only think of one reason for Richard to be kind to her: Dharia, his half-sister.Richard’s heart seemed to choke for a moment. He quickly denied it, saying, “No, it’s not because of Dharia. I’m nice to you just because you’re y
[Special Forces - D]Richard held a small wooden box, no bigger than half the size of his palm. He slipped it into his pocket.The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. The humble and quiet demeanor in his eyes was immediately replaced by an aura of someone who was bloodthirsty. He stared straight ahead and said quietly, “Special Forces team. War god with the codename D-111ML0219. A very, very familiar code. It’s been three years. After retreating for three years, just as I promised. I have returned.”Three years ago, a million enemy troops invaded Rio Dio Country. The headquarters of Rio Dio Country dispatched a force of five hundred thousand to hold off the attack. Unfortunately, the entire force was annihilated by the enemy.Just as the headquarters of Rio Dio Country was about to collapse, the leader of the special forces left with ninety team members. They successfully crippled all the enemies. They immediately attacked the enemy base camp.Within a single short night, explosion
