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 will affect her, leaving no one else willing to help her company.

For Dharia, her family’s company is far more important than the trash that is Richard, her own husband—who will soon be her ex-husband.

Bang!

Suddenly, the sound of a pistol shot echoing on the floor reverberated in the room.

Bang!

The leader of the group who had wanted to capture Richard immediately stepped back in fear. So frightened, he didn’t even look back and stumbled over a table. He fell to his knees in front of Richard.

“Sorry!” the man exclaimed, slapping his own cheek. “I apologize for not knowing who you are, Sir. I was too foolish! Please forgive me!”

Everyone in the room fell silent upon hearing the man’s apology. Including Dharia, who stopped in her tracks right at the door. How surprised she was to see the leader of the group from the city’s Management Center kneeling before Richard.

Elvan, who had been smiling, thinking he had won, was now stunned to see this.

Some others began to open their mouths, “Wh-What’s happening?!”

“What are you doing?! These cards are fake, right?! You...,” Elvan panicked.

Before his sentence finished, the group leader raised his head and shouted tremulously, “Shut up, damn you! Fake from where, huh?! You want me dead?! Their identity cards are genuine, understand?!”

Genuine?

From the terrified expression on the group leader’s face, it seemed what he said was true. These soldiers were no ordinary soldiers.

“How could...,” Elvan muttered softly, his head suddenly spinning. “Richard is a nobody, how could he know people like th—”

Smack!

The captain kicked the kneeling group leader, sending him rolling several meters backward, and said, “I’ll report your actions to the minister! Get out of here!”

“A-Alright, Sir! I’m leaving right now!” the group leader replied, then ran out of the room in a hurry.

The captain’s gaze then shifted to Richard. His tone instantly became polite, “Three years... We thought we’d never meet you again... I-I...”

Richard patted the captain’s shoulder and said, “Let’s talk outside. Come on, let’s all get out of here!”

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Richard without blinking. What they had just experienced felt very unreal, like a dream.

Isn’t this Richard Dwayne, the son-in-law of the Nelsons Family, Dharia Nelsons’s famously useless husband? How could he have such power, and they didn’t know? Who is Richard Dwayne really?

“Richard, stop!” Dharia shouted, trying to stop her husband. “How do you know these people? Who are you really?”

“Tch!” Richard retorted, then lowered his head. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the woman with a mocking gaze, “Hahaha! Me? I’m just a dog, trash, scum who’s been looked down upon by your family, but oops, suddenly became the king of the world!”

He turned around and walked out, “See you at the civil registry office!”

Their three-year marriage, shattered just because of one sentence Dharia said, “One guy from the streets is far better than you!”

Dharia was confused by Richard’s response.

If Richard really was a world ruler, why would he endure insults for the past three years?

What is the man’s true motive?

Is there a secret agenda that people shouldn’t know, that Richard would bear such a heavy burden for one person for three years? Crazy! She didn’t expect the man to be this strong.

Trash like Richard, apparently has many mysteries unknown to people.

And this is also the first time she learned who Richard really is, although she still doesn’t fully understand it. Her mind is still spinning, thinking about the series of events that just happened. From the beginning when Richard offered her a luxury car, helped her company, and even when the man claimed to be a world ruler.

It’s impossible....

“You still can’t believe it, can you? It’s okay, just think of me as trash, poor, penniless, are you satisfied with all those labels?” Richard said in his mind.

From today on, the whole world will know the true identity of Richard Dwayne. There’s no more time to hide, pretend, endure all the insults. Richard Dwayne, who he is now, is someone everyone in this world should respect!

Seeing Richard leave, Elvan cursed in his mind. He had been humiliated in front of his peers by that useless man. Somehow, he had to find someone to kill him!

In the hotel lobby, the CEO, managers from various departments, and employees working that day sent Richard off with cheers and applause. They all bowed ninety degrees towards Richard’s departing convoy.

“Finally, I can see my idol with my own eyes! This isn’t a dream, right?!”

“We’ve been searching for you for the past three years, wondering when you’d return. This country has been in dire need of you, Captain!”

“The team you used to lead, the old comrades, they’re all gone. When news of the Captain’s disappearance spread, one by one, enemy forces began to attack. They thought you were gone, and Rio Dio Country became an easy target!”

“...”

The eighteen soldiers crowded together with Richard in one car conveyed their inner thoughts. Some were touched, some were happy, some were furious with their enemies.

Richard looked out the window and said, “Yes, it’s been three years.”

For three years, he had hidden his true identity, controlling his emotions while the Nelsons Family continued to mock him.

All of that was enough until today!

From now on, it won’t be like that anymore!

“And you...” The man seemed hesitant to tell Richard. “I heard you married the daughter of the Nelsons Family and became what people call a ‘husband who follows his wife,’ right? I don’t understand, why would you marry a woman like that? When I heard she insulted the Captain, I was truly enraged.”

Richard chuckled at the man’s words, “Turns out, three years of hard work wasn’t valued more than a bank card with ten billion…”

Dharia, who now bore no resemblance to the girl who had once saved him, didn’t even remember that incident. The promise made with Richard back then, Dharia had also forgotten it, as if she had never made a promise at all.

If it weren’t for Grandpa Nelsons saying that Dharia was the one who saved him, maybe he would have been suspicious of Dharia then.

“Thank goodness Dharia agreed to divorce you, otherwise, you’d surely suffer living with a woman like that for the rest of your life,” He man added and he was Andrew Lawson.

“But... Why did the Captain suddenly disappear back then?” he asked Richard.

Richard’s gaze instantly shifted to him.

“Because...”

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!

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?

    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

    “Uncle, he’s....”At first, Elvan wanted to mention Richard’s name. But after reconsidering, he couldn’t even defeat a useless guy like trash. It would be really embarrassing if he mentioned that name.So, the name he was about to say, he quickly retracted and changed it to something else.“He’s just a useless guy who only knows how to use his fists. Just because he has a comrade-in-arms who’s an officer in Ligos city. He’s so arrogant, Uncle. He talks as if he’s the greatest in Ligos city. Damn.”“So, what’s your plan now?” Raylon asked.“Damn right. In his eyes, our family means nothing at all, Uncle. I swear, I’ll make him regret it. Uncle, here’s the thing. You’re busy with work. You don’t need to handle such trivial matters yourself. Just give me the person’s contact number who will deal that bastard. I can contact him myself.”Raylon didn’t hesitate much either. He immediately gave his nephew the requested contact number.Then, firmly and confidently, he said, “Elvan, if anythin

Just a little boxing and kicking moves,” Elvan said from the other end.Upon hearing that, Franco felt relieved. “Alright,” he said. “Tell me, who is this person?”“Richard Dwayne!” Elvan answered without hesitation. “The son-in-law of the Nelsons Family in Almolia City. A useless poor man. Within three days, I want to see him completely disabled.”Richard Dwayne...For some reason, Franco suddenly felt apprehensive upon hearing that name. And he always had a bad feeling. Richard’s name, Dwayne’s last name. Dwayne...But when Elvan said that the man was the son-in-law who relied on his wife’s family, Franco felt calm again.Mr. Richard, who once shocked the world, could not possibly be a dependent son-in-law. Especially relying on his wife’s family. Franco felt sure he had been overthinking.“Okay! No problem,” Franco replied quickly. “Mr. Elvan, just relax. Within three

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.

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.

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

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.

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

    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!

    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

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.
