[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
Instinctively, Aurora moved to the side. After that, she unconsciously wanted to escape from the parking lot. But suddenly, Carmen reached out and pushed Aurora, causing her to fall to the ground. Aurora couldn’t believe that her stepmother would take such a dangerous action now. Therefore, she was completely unprepared. Thud! Her slender body hit the hard ground. At the same time, Screeeech! A car with the license plate WH 2409 suddenly stopped. The car door opened, and four men emerged. They wore black masks and casual black clothing. They nodded to Carmen and then forcibly dragged Aurora into the car. “Y-you guys…” Aurora was still confused. The events happened so quickly. So fast that she could barely react. If she wasn’t mistaken… When she unconsciously tried to escape, it was Carmen who pushed her down. “You!” Aurora tried to break free from the grip of one of the men holding her, but it was futile. She suddenly turned her head and saw Carmen not far from her. “What
It contained only a single line that read, “Help! Eastern part of the underground trading market.”Who wouldn’t understand what would happen after reading such a message? Without wasting a moment, he slammed the gas pedal and drove towards Aurora’s location.“Damn it! How dare they! What kind of nerve does it take to kidnap someone I’m protecting?” Richard cursed as he steered his car.His eyes once again revealed a blaze of emotion that hadn’t appeared in three years. That look was one only ever seen in someone from Rio Dio Country, a warlord famously known throughout the land at that time!At the same time, but in a different location, around three muscular men armed with large knives and iron rods stood. Each of them stared intently at the iron door in front of them, as if waiting for someone to willingly hand over their life.The sight alone would make anyone who saw it run away in fear. Aurora was locked in a basement, right in the middle of the stage located in the center of th
