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 sound of mockery was very loud. Aurora turned and saw that Timone was the one making the comments. She quickly responded, “It’s none of your business!”“Hahaha! None of my business?” Timone, sitting in the front seat of a BMW, replied with a wide grin. That morning, she had accidentally seen Aurora standing anxiously in front of the house. Timone then began to speculate about what was happening.With this opportunity, Timone thought it would be a shame to miss it. She wanted to continue taunting and provoking Aurora. “The day before yesterday, who was it that swore they would have a luxurious birthday party?” “Oh... I remember now. It was you, Aurora!”“Richard, the poor guy, wasn’t he the one who promised you a more luxurious birthday party than his ex-wife, Dharia? Didn’t he claim that this villa was his? Why has he disappeared now? What’s going on? Has he run away?! Hahaha...”Initially, Timone was worried that Richard might be the second generation of the wealthy Dwayne fam
No matter where or when, he always looked as if, even if the sky were to fall, he would be the one to hold it up.Number 6 was stunned and said, “Captain, what should we do now? Did you suspect from the beginning that they were traitors and someone was helping them?”“No,” Richard replied nonchalantly.Number 6’s hopeful eyes darkened immediately. “Captain, but these people clearly came to attack you. Moreover, these iron chains are made of a special material. So we can’t break these chains at all. This time, they must have made thorough calculations and preparations. They won’t let us escape easily.”“We can only wait for someone from outside to rescue us—”Number 6 seemed to remember something!His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Captain! I have a communication device on me. We can contact the special forces. Do you have a way to retrieve this communication device? In our special forces, there’s a new member who joined the team two years ago. His name is Arthur Stanley. It just
Then, the door slowly began to open from the outside. And as soon as the door was open about five centimeters, a smoke sprayer containing toxic gas suddenly slipped through the crack.This was the moment Richard had been waiting for. His dark eyes suddenly sharpened, and his body shot forward toward the door.Boom!The man kicked the door, splitting it in two with just one leg. The force of the door’s impact sent the people hiding behind it flying, and the smoke sprayer fell to the ground.“Number 6, get out!” Richard ordered.As soon as he finished this series of counterattacks, he quickly rushed out of the carriage. But just as their feet left the carriage...Bang bang bang bang!The enemies hiding behind the door had been prepared from the start. They immediately fired bullets at Richard and Number 6.Moreover, the bullets that relentlessly attacked them were aimed directly at Richard’s head and heart.He quickly pulled Number 6 down to the ground. His legs stretched out straight,
“Dharia? Why are you still at home?!”As soon as Hollie entered the house, she immediately noticed Dharia sitting on the sofa with a worried expression.She quickly said, “Why are you still here? Hurry up and leave. When I arrived, I saw Mr. Raylon. He was at the entrance of Diamond Group. He and Aurora got out of the car together. After getting out of the car, they went straight into the company.”Hearing this, Dharia’s face turned pale instantly. She suddenly stood up and said jealously, “What? Mr. Raylon was with Aurora? They went to the company? How could that shameless woman have no shame?! Doesn’t she know that today is my birthday? I clearly heard from Mr. Raylon’s secretary that he was supposed to pick me up today. But he hasn’t come here yet. This must be Aurora’s doing.”“It’s one thing for her to compete with me over that useless Richard. But now, she wants to take Mr. Raylon from me too? Who does that illegitimate child think she is? How dare she try to take what’s mine!”
What?Raylon is the one picking up Aurora? Dharia’s face instantly fell. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling an intense urge to stab her half-sister with a knife. But since she was surrounded by many people, she had no choice but to control her emotions and remain calm.“No matter what, she’s still my sister. And he’s an employee of Diamond Group. It’s only natural that she would hitch a ride with Mr. Raylon to get here,” Dharia said. She was someone who was very particular about maintaining her image. Therefore, she couldn’t admit to the problem in front of so many people. After hearing her explanation, Timone nodded and showed an understanding expression. “Oh, I see. But, Dharia, why haven’t I seen Richard today?” “Hm?” Dharia murmured, feeling confused. “Didn’t he say he was going to bet with you? He said he was going to throw a birthday party for Aurora that would amaze everyone, right?” Dharia rolled her eyes, unable to hide the disdainful look in her eyes. “Someone
How shocking and terrifying it was. The most terrifying part wasn’t the line of luxury cars. It was the words on the signs atop the cars. Famous companies from Rio Dio Country. The bosses of the underground forces that instill fear in people. People who are usually only seen on TV.Today, everyone gathered to celebrate Miss Nelsons’ birthday. Passersby were stunned by the astonishing sight. Some even exclaimed, “Wow! That’s Emperor Group! The company that ranks in the top ten in Ligos city, Emperor Group! OMG!”“Oh my... the formation. It’s truly amazing!”“Who is Miss Nelsons? How could she mobilize major companies in Ligos city and get so many people to drive luxury cars to celebrate her birthday? Is there really someone that impressive in Almolia City?”“There’s more! Isn’t that the boss... Isn’t he someone we only hear about in rumors?”Everyone was curious about who Miss Nelsons was. They busily took out their phones and snapped pictures of the incredibly spectacular and surprisi
Richard’s right hand gripped the knife tightly. He then swung the knife towards the red wire on the bomb with the fastest and most agile movements.Now, both their lives depended on the red wire he was about to cut.If the red wire was the bomb’s main wire, they could survive. But if it wasn’t, he and Number 6 would die without intact bodies.It must be correct!Richard trusted his own judgment and abilities. The red wire must be the main wire of the bomb.“2 seconds.”Click!The red wire was cut cleanly with one swift motion of the knife.Tit... tit... ti....The terrifying warning sound from the bomb gradually weakened and eventually stopped.Richard suddenly exerted force on his toes pressed against the floor. His body, which had entered the engine compartment, was ejected out. As his body flew out of the engine compartment, he performed a 90-degree rotation in the air.Cling!His legs landed steadily. However, due to the intense heat in the engine compartment, Richard’s entire bod
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
