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
With her arms folded across her chest, Aurora said with utmost seriousness, “Who said that the cooperation between Diamond Group and Skyler Group was canceled?”“Their side canceled the visit here; doesn’t that mean the deal has failed?” retorted one of the employees with a disgusted expression.Aurora walked over to the folder she had thrown on the table and picked up a stack of documents from it. She then slapped the documents onto the face of the speaking employee, saying, “Look at this, you fool! Look at this!”What is this?The emotional employee was stunned, trying to recover from the shock of the slap.The next moment, his eyes were fixed on the lines of text in the document.[Cooperation Agreement][Party One: Skyler Group, Ligos city][Party Two: Diamond Group, Almolia city]The text seemed to pierce sharply into his heart. His eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible? How could this happen?”“Huh? It’s already signed? How is that possible?”“The person responsible fo
“Just do whatever you want! I don’t care!” Richard said, causing Dharia to fall silent immediately.“Dharia, if you weren’t a woman, you would already be a corpse for slandering Aurora like that!” “Not only could she slap you, but she could slap all your family members.”“And I could help her send you straight to the hell. Got it?”After saying this, Richard grabbed Aurora’s hand and led her to the parking lot. At that place, Dharia could only glare at Richard’s back while cursing angrily, “Richard, you bastard! Just wait, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”It turned out Dharia couldn’t accept that the man she divorced after three years of marriage was now holding another woman with such sincerity.“Dharia!”A voice suddenly came from behind Dharia. As soon as Elvan arrived at Diamond Group, he immediately saw Dharia clearly. Without hesitation, he approached her.“Hey, I heard you mention Richard. Where is he?”Upon hearing that question, Dharia felt disgusted. “Never men
Grandma Nelsons was even more furious upon hearing Aurora’s rejection. “You fool! You have no right to refuse!”Carmen suddenly stood up and said to Aurora, “Aurora, Mr. Jazeel has a nice house and a luxury car. He’s also a manager at a big bank. He’s far better than Richard.”“Anyway, you’ll lose the bet tomorrow. An engagement now or later will be the same.”“Aurora, do you really want to live with that poor Richard, huh?” retorted the others.Aurora turned and glared at Carmen. “Shut your mouth! You’re the last person who has any right to control my life. I still remember how you treated me all these years. Now, it’s time for me to pay you back, bit by bit.”Hearing that, Carmen was shocked and her face flushed with anger.Aurora turned to Grandma and said, “Grandma, Richard is not trash, Richard is not poor. Just wait and see, he’s better than anyone here!”“It’s impossible for me to agree to marry Mr. Jazeel. Absolutely impossible. At first, I thought I was a Nelsons family membe
In just one sentence, the death penalty for Jazeel could be expedited. A person with a position as low as a bank manager like him would be too reckless to do anything to Aurora. In a few hours, someone would come to pick up Jazeel and inform him of his death sentence.The unfortunate manager didn’t yet know about his fate in the coming hours. He was currently preoccupied with how to get revenge on Richard for destroying his body.With the remnants of calm, Aurora moved closer to Richard. Her eyes scanned the people with malicious intentions toward her. She then whispered softly, “Richard, I want to go home.”“I don’t want them to die. I want them to experience something worse than death. As retribution for what they’ve all done to me for over 20 years.”After Aurora experienced this event, she was deeply hurt by everyone in the Nelsons family. From now on, she would no longer hesitate to seek revenge on the Nelsons family down to its roots.“Stop!”“Aurora, come back!”The grandma sh
The hearts of the three men seemed to stop suddenly. The blood throughout their bodies felt like it was boiling.In the pupils of their eyes, the imposing figure of a tall, strong man was reflected, walking towards them from outside the door.Their legs instantly went weak.It was the war god. A war leader who had fought for years on many battlefields.“C-Captain!”“Finally, we meet again!”Number 6 suddenly knelt with enthusiasm. His face showed a mix of emotions.“War god…”The eyes of the other two soldiers widened. They too immediately knelt in excitement. They no longer dared to look at Richard’s face. Instead, they kept their heads bowed the entire time while kneeling.Richard casually responded, “Get up! Who are these two?”“Captain, they are people sent directly from headquarters. They can be trusted!” Number 6 answered with a broad smile.Since Number 6 had vouched for them, Richard no longer harbored any suspicions about the two.“Alright!” Richard replied with charisma. He
The shout echoed, filling the entire room that was wrapped in silence. Those present, including Andri, Anastas, and Velric, who were on the second floor, stared in shock. It wasn’t just one person defending Richard, but more than a hundred! They were all respected figures in the city of Ligos and incredibly powerful! How could Richard have received such treatment?“Boss! From this moment on, let us be your backup!”“Boss, don’t worry! We’re here, and no one will threaten you!” Eno said, turning his back to face Richard. His demeanor was completely different from when he was facing Andri.Richard didn’t expect so many people to show up, just like what happened at the Ligos city detention center some time ago.“Okay,” Richard replied with a laugh, patting Eno’s shoulder.“From now on, I’ll depend on you all,” Richard added.Andri’s heart was filled with unease when he heard those words. He glanced from Richard to the people behind him. He didn’t dare act recklessly here, as it wasn’t hi
The sound of screeching car brakes echoed from the street, coming all at once. From the noise alone, it was clear that hundreds of cars were stopping outside.“Stop! Who dares to fire their pistol?!” a cold voice shouted from the entrance. The hearts of the people there almost jumped out when they heard the shout.They all turned in unison towards the entrance, where the voice had come from. Richard also turned his gaze towards the entrance, his eyebrows raised as he recognized the familiar voice.The first thing he saw was Eno stepping out of his expensive car, looking furious, with long strides heading toward him. “Who are you?! Move aside!” barked the leader of the group, aiming his pistol at Eno, as he didn’t recognize the man. Eno let out a cold laugh, then extended his hand, grabbing the leader’s wrist and sarcastically asking, “Who am I?! You don’t even know who I am, and you dare point a gun at me?!”“Wasn’t it you who wanted to shoot me?! Just shoot!” Eno challenged, causing
“Richard! Are you really planning to clash with Martial Ally?!” The shout, filled with anger, echoed throughout the room, silencing everyone present. The atmosphere became tense and suffocating, as everyone feared that making a sound would bring them harm.Velric stared at Richard in shock, unable to believe that the man had such incredible abilities. He had kicked Mr. Valen so hard that the man was sent flying and slammed into the wall.“Is he really just an adopted child of the Dwayne family? Why has no one ever mentioned how amazing he is?”This was truly unexpected! But in a way, it was for the best. The more powerful Richard was, the more Velric wanted to recruit him into his mafia group. There was no harm in having someone skilled in both medicine and martial arts.The corners of Velric’s mouth lifted into a thin smile. “No matter how strong you are, you’ll end up kneeling in front of me, begging for my help.”“The bigger the problem, the more I want to see just how much you can
The man has arrived! Mr. Valen has made it here! And it’s not just him; other senior doctors who are unhappy with Richard’s presence are here too. They’ve come to this city because they want Richard out of the medical field.Meanwhile, Eno and the others are on their way to Almolia City. Upon arrival, Eno immediately hears that Andri, Mr. Valen, and many other doctors have also come for the event.“My God! The Onyx Kings disciple from Luminaris Country is there too?! Those doctors dare to slander my boss?! Damn it! How dare they doubt my boss’s greatness! I’m a living witness, I’ve seen it with my own eyes!”“That bastard Valen! My boss even saved his nephew’s life! So what if his illegitimate son is killed?! Ramiro! Order our men at the back to step on the gas and move faster!”“Let them try to touch a single hair on my boss’s head!” Eno shouted, her anger burning with fury.They all knew that Richard was incredibly skilled and had a strong background. Most likely, someone would come
How dare an adopted child from the Dwayne family, with no position or power, act so arrogantly?! Even his medical knowledge is unclear—who did he even learn it from?! Does he think he deserves an invitation to S?Tch!Richard stood where he was, his face showing indifference to everything the man before him said. He even responded to the man with, “So what about Onyx Kings? This is Rio Dio country, not your country!”“If you dare to mess around here, you won’t leave this city alive!”“Hahaha! You say I won’t survive if I mess around?” he repeated, pulling out a knife and pointing it at Ashren’s neck.“I’m so scared! Hey, Richard! I’m done with you! He’s one of your subordinates, right?! If I can’t kill you, then I’ll kill him! I’ll give you two choices: either give me the invitation and kneel to apologize, or I’ll kill him right before your eyes!”Although the invitation could be given or forcibly taken, the international competition still had binding rules. Once someone received an i
Velric’s sudden thought made him step back with fear-filled eyes, seeing Richard as if he were the angel of death.“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Elysia asked, coming down from the third floor and noticing Velric’s changed expression. She rushed over and supported her grandfather, who was biting his lower lip, trying to regain his composure.He pushed aside the thought of that mysterious figure, reasoning that twenty-seven years had already passed. That person wouldn’t appear in Rio Dio country. His mind must be playing tricks on him because of his growing fears.“It’s nothing. I just remembered someone, and it caught me off guard,” Velric replied, smiling as if nothing had happened.“This Richard is really stubborn, still refusing to admit defeat. I wonder how he plans to solve today’s mess. He killed Doctor Evran in front of so many people. No one can protect him now... except me.”He spoke confidently, smirking while watching Richard from the second floor, clearly drawing attention.Velr
Including Erni, who had been silent all this time. A cynical smile spread across her face. As if she were preparing a massive conspiracy.Meanwhile, Velric remained standing where he was—at the top of the stairs on the second floor. He watched everything unfold without making a move.Because he was waiting! Waiting for Richard to fall into despair.Waiting for Richard to come to him, begging for help.Unfortunately, what happened was far from what he expected. Because in the next moment, the words coming from Richard’s mouth would disappoint Velric. Not only that, but Richard would also leave Erni utterly shocked and render Dr. Evran speechless with astonishment.“I’m very sorry to disappoint you, Dr. Evran. The invitation card in my hand is not from Level A!”“But... from Level S!” From Level S!An eerie silence fell over the entire room, enveloping it in an instant.Level S???What kind of concept is this! There are only two Level S invitations issued per country in the entire wo
Killed?Caspian, hearing this, looked spontaneously confused.He glanced briefly at the corpse lying in the coffin on the floor. Afterward, he looked at Richard, who was smiling faintly. Yet, he still felt confused and had no understanding. What was truly happening here?“Mr. Richard caused his patient’s death? Impossible! His medical skills are acknowledged by everyone. Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding among you,” said Caspian. The director of the central hospital had witnessed Richard’s medical skills firsthand.Before his eyes, Richard revived Ramiro.How could a genius doctor with such exceptional medical skills cause a patient’s death? There must be something wrong with this situation. However, Doctor Evran and Erni insisted that Richard was the one who caused Grandpa Susilo’s death. “Mr. Caspian, don’t be fooled by this deceiver’s appearance. Moreover, he’s already deceived people from the Dwayne family before.”“For over a decade, his deceit was only exposed later. That pro
“I think it’s you who should quit being a doctor!”“Brothers and sisters, what do you all think?” With just those few words from Dr. Evran, all blame immediately fell on Richard. As if it was indeed Richard’ poor medical skills that caused Grandpa Susilo’s death.Even all the big bosses invited by Velric were astonished by the scene in front of them.Richard had indeed gone to treat Grandpa Susilo this morning! The fact that the man was betting with the people from the Doctors’ Association was undeniable! Everyone knew that. But they also clearly heard that Richard had successfully treated Grandpa Susilo, right? So why did the old man suddenly die? Could it really be because of Richard’s poor medical skills, causing Grandpa Susilo’s death?For a moment, all suspicious gazes were directed toward Richard. The atmosphere in the living room instantly grew tense and silent.“Heh.” Richard chuckled meaningfully.Suddenly, he raised his hand. Clap clap clap! He clapped his hands three times
