The figure smiled with a direct gaze towards Mario. The smile was laced with a dangerous intent, as if it were waiting for someone’s death. Even his voice carried a thick aura of lethal intent.“Really? If that’s the case, open your eyes wide and see clearly if I’m capable or not!”Moments later, the air around them seemed to thin out. The look of anger in Mario’s eyes, which had been evident just moments before, was instantly replaced by expressions of shock and fear. The others in the room backed away in surprise, startled, and ended up falling to their knees on the floor.Elvan, meanwhile, still hid behind Mario, swallowing nervously. Only the mafia boss seemed to be gathering his courage, speaking with a trembling voice he tried to conceal.“You? You dare challenge Cap Dwayne?! It seems you’re tired of living!”“Mr. Mario! This bastard has already killed over two hundred of our men! You have to—” The mafia boss’s words were cut short as he turned his face and stared in shock. The
Richard’s disappearance over the past three years led many people to quietly work towards defeating him. Mario’s suspicion of Raylon was quite normal and human due to the fear rising within him.Some of the people present started glaring at Elvan, who was unconscious, with cynical, squinting eyes. “Don’t tell him what happened today. Don’t mention that the person Elvan was supposed to kill is Cap Dwayne. Let’s wait and see what he does until Aurora’s birthday celebration and how he reacts.”“This fool, let’s just leave him here!” Mario and several others decided to leave Elvan, who was unconscious, all alone.Moments after their departure, Elvan winced in pain as if his whole body had been run over by a truck. He blinked a few times, regained consciousness, and found himself lying in the corridor on the second floor. He recalled what had happened, then quickly turned his head to observe his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief.“They’re gone, and I’m still alive,” the man mumbl
“What?!” Raylon exclaimed, his voice rising in shock.Wasn’t Mario supposed to have failed to acquire the secret order? How could it suddenly be in Richard’s hands?“This secret order is here with me thanks to your nephew. I should be thanking him,” Richard said meaningfully before abruptly ending the call.Raylon furrowed his brow in confusion, the phone still pressed to his ear. “Nephew? Does this mean Elvan managed to get it? Or is Mario playing me? Wow! It looks like Elvan made a good impression on Cap Dwayne! That’s great!” Raylon muttered to himself.“I need to find a chance in a few days to officially introduce Elvan to Cap Dwayne!” Raylon decided with enthusiasm.Richard had just arrived on the eighteenth floor, while Aurora had already gotten there by taking the elevator, due to her high heels and being pressed for time. Her attempt to open the door was interrupted by voices coming from inside the room.“The meeting was supposed to start thirty minutes ago. Where’s our manage
In all their lives, they had never met a woman quite like Aurora. Her face radiated an immense confidence, and with unwavering assurance, she demonstrated that the success she would achieve was based solely on her own abilities, without a hint of doubt.Richard had been waiting for her in front of the meeting room door for some time. An hour later, Aurora finally emerged, followed by the disbelieving gazes of the employees behind her.“Is the meeting over?” Richard asked, gently patting Aurora’s head.“Yes,” she replied.“How was it? Was it difficult?”“It was! But everything’s sorted now,” Aurora responded playfully.“Someone tried to threaten me! Wasted an hour of my time! I’m so hungry now!”“Richard, I’m hungry,” Aurora said again, shaking Richard’s arm and speaking in a sweet, coaxing tone.Richard’s heart raced for a moment. He tried to steady the wild pounding in his chest and asked, “What do you want to eat?”“I want to eat the goat stick by the roadside!” Aurora exclaimed, pu
It wasn’t Aurora’s idol, but her friend named Timone from when they were in middle school! Timone spoke up again after noticing Aurora’s displeased gaze, though she remained silent.“The day after tomorrow is Dharia’s birthday. She gave me an invitation yesterday. She said it’s going to be celebrated at the Underwater Hotel! I also heard that her boyfriend is a manager at Diamond Group! Now that’s what you call a real rich person!”“Thank goodness she’s free from that useless husband of hers! Otherwise, she’d probably be miserable for the rest of her life!”“Oh, by the way, Auro. Isn’t your birthday on the same day as hers? What has your boyfriend prepared for you?” Timone asked with a sarcastic tone.The man sitting behind the wheel cast a meaningful look at Aurora. Richard noticed this and only gave a brief glance at Timone’s boyfriend before smiling mockingly and said,“What have I prepared? Whatever she wants, I’ll give it to her! Including the whole world if she desires it! Are y
Timone’s eyes widened in shock. While looking towards the villa, she grabbed her boyfriend’s arm and said, “Honey, honey, quick, look at that!”“Isn’t that Aurora?”“Why are she and that trash here? The security guard wouldn’t let them in with clothes like that!”Just like her boyfriend, the man driving the BMW also regarded Richard as trash. And this truly shocked both of them. In their eyes, Richard wouldn’t even be able to afford a luxury car on his own. But now he was actually walking towards the villa. This made Timone’s heart race. She immediately got out of the car.From several meters away, she shouted, “Hey, Aurora! What are you two doing here?”Aurora had actually been aware of Timone’s presence for a while. She did this on purpose. She didn’t care if people said bad things about her, but she couldn’t tolerate Richard being insulted. So she urged Richard to head home immediately. And now was the perfect moment to strike back at Timone’s arrogance.“Of course, we’re heading h
Timone panicked as she saw the security guard appearing to show respect to Richard. Meanwhile, Richard looked at Timone with a sneer and said to the guard, “Is there a thief entering the villa? Is someone who enters their own home called a thief?”“Sorry, Sir! You are the owner of this villa,” the guard replied nervously.“Miss, you should be careful with your words. You have made accusations indiscriminately,” said the guard to Timone.Timone was utterly stunned now. Her face immediately became a mess of helplessness. She no longer had any means to fight back or even argue. She stood frozen in place, overwhelmed by embarrassment.“This trash really owns this villa!” Timone thought to herself.Aurora sat on the sofa in the villa’s lobby, watching Timone’s distressed face through the open door.Aurora looked delighted at the scene and suddenly burst into laughter, rolling around on her sofa. “Hahahaha! This is so funny, it’s so funny!”“Richard, look! Timone’s usually arrogant face is
The Hero of Rio Dio Country, leader of millions of soldiers and protector of hundreds of millions of people, has returned!After ending the call, Richard went to the lobby on the first floor. Aurora happened to be taking a shower, and her phone was left on the table.“Ding-dong!” Suddenly, the sound of a new message notification was heard.Unconsciously, Richard lowered his head and looked at the phone screen. He could clearly see the incoming message.[Sender: Skyler Group] [Content: Received! The contract has been signed and will be sent to Diamond Group tomorrow morning at 10.]“Skyler Group?”Richard furrowed his brow. “Isn’t that a company from Ligos city? Aren’t they supposed to send someone to negotiate with Diamond Group tomorrow? Why are they suddenly sending this message to Aurora? Has the negotiation already been done? And isn’t Skyler Group involved in gambling?”The gambling business controlled by Skyler Group had stirred up quite a commotion among the bosses throughout
