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
Aurora felt no guilt at all. Instead, she walked step by step towards the courier without paying any attention to the words of the onlookers.“Thank you. I really like this dress. I’ll wear it later,” Aurora said with a smile.The women from the conglomerate family spontaneously displayed disdainful expressions. Dharia and the others looked down on Aurora even more.At that moment, an Underwater Hotel waiter suddenly arrived carrying a luxurious party dress.“Excuse me, I’m sorry. Which Miss Nelsons is the birthday girl today? A gentleman specifically prepared a dress for Miss Nelsons earlier. He also sends his birthday greetings to Miss Nelsons,” said the waiter.The waiter’s voice attracted everyone’s attention. When Timone saw the dress, she widened her eyes in surprise.“OMG! Isn’t that a dress from the Skyler Group? If I remember correctly, that dress was auctioned for more than eight hundred million!” Timone exclaimed.“Huh? Just a dress equals several years’ worth of salary. Oh
A man spoke while looking towards the stairs. Just a moment ago, he had been talking endlessly about Aurora in a negative manner, all to make a good impression in front of Dharia. But in the next instant, the man was frozen. His laughter suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in shock. The glass in his hand fell and shattered on the floor. “Quick, look. Look at that!” “Oh. My. God! I swear on everything!” “Good grief!” Everyone followed the man’s gaze, and in the next moment, they saw the figure that left them all in silence. Dharia was stunned and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with jealousy and resentment. Because the dress Aurora was wearing was ‘The Flying Phoenix’, which had once caused a sensation throughout the country. The Flying Phoenix, the most valuable item from the Skyler Group in Ligos city. Compared to the dress Dharia was wearing, Aurora’s gown was infinitely more luxurious. What Dharia couldn’t accept the most
