The voice had vanished from her life for five years. Hearing that familiar voice again made Dharia’s entire body tense up instantly. Her eyes reddened and welled up with tears, but she still didn’t have enough courage to look towards the door behind her.Meanwhile, Alfred and several other businessmen who had been escorted by Raylon had just arrived in front of their respective cars. They immediately turned towards hotel when they heard the loud screech of car brakes. In front of the entrance, a government car from the central headquarters had already stopped there.In an instant, all the important people who had come from Ligos city stared in shock with pale faces.“Look! The emblem! That’s the emblem of the central headquarters!” Alfred exclaimed, pointing at the car with a frightened expression.“That person! He’s the same person from three years ago!” cried a woman known to be from the Whitaker family.“W-why is he here? How did he come to Underwater Hotel and help Dharia?” they a
Arthur was momentarily taken aback by Richard’s dark eyes staring at him. But he quickly dismissed the feeling. Whoever that man was, he surely couldn’t be greater than himself.“Pfft! So, you still won’t give in?” Arthur said coldly.“In that case, don’t blame me if I contact the Ligos city authorities to take over the company directly! It’s not hard to instruct someone to nullify a single contract!” Arthur said with a boastful tone.Richard looked at Arthur with a face clearly holding back laughter. If it weren’t for the concern that revealing his true identity might attract enemy attention, he would have already disclosed who he really was to all the guests and Arthur.He tried to suppress his urge because he would soon return to the main headquarters. Once he rejoined the special forces, Arthur would find out that the person he idolized all along was none other than himself!Let the man regret his behavior tonight until he can’t say a word in front of him.“Arthur, do you really h
Richard turned and saw that number 6, standing not far from him, looked very anxious. “Aurora, you should go back to the villa. I still have matters to discuss with my friend,” Richard said gently while brushing Aurora’s soft hair.The woman nodded obediently.“Captain!” Number 6 called out as soon as Aurora entered the villa. “I have news, but I don’t know if I should tell you or not.”“Just say it!” Richard replied with charisma.Taking a deep breath, number 6 began, “The H78-Y10 dagger was taken by the two traitors, and they are currently missing from the base. Their whereabouts are unknown. The headquarters doesn’t dare to make any announcements because they’re afraid it will cause chaos.”“I suspect that the dagger was taken to the border by those two.”“Captain, the dagger is a symbol of yours. If it falls into enemy hands, I’m afraid the situation at the border will become chaotic.”“Captain, this time I sincerely ask you to return and lead the troops to handle this urgent iss
“Special forces disbanded and formed the Elite Forces?”Richard was surprised by the title of the letter. Since Richard had suddenly disappeared, the members of the squad who had fought alongside him to the death could not accept this news. They all decided to retire and leave their duties as special forces. Among the entire squad, only one person remained, number 6. The rest were new members.Richard continued reading the handwritten letter from top to bottom. Soon, Richard’s eyes fell on the writing that would shock anyone who read it.[All members of the headquarters sincerely invite Captain D-111 Richard to the selection of the Supreme Commander of the Elite Forces this month!][Here are the five candidates!][S-rank Captain from area 16: Gavin; S-rank Vice Captain from area 18: Marcus; Special Forces team member from headquarters in area 1: Arthur...]Arthur? Arthur Stanley?Richard’s eyes widened as he saw that name.“The list of candidates for the Elite Team Captain?” Instantl
Richard’s threat made everyone there burst into laughter, including Arthur, who seemed to be laughing the hardest.After managing to compose himself, he said, “Richard, Richard! You still don’t know who I am now. If you did, you’d regret saying that. You’re truly foolish!”“Richard, do you think I don’t know who you are? From the information I’ve gathered, you’ve been a useless son-in-law in this house for three years. A son-in-law who is like a guard dog, only consuming the master’s money and food.”“And me? Haha... It’s lucky for you that you were once part of this esteemed family. Otherwise, you wouldn’t deserve to stand before me.”Richard wasn’t offended at all. In fact, he laughed upon hearing this.Indeed...Richard’s identity, photo, and even his real name were classified as state secrets. No one could reveal who Richard truly was. Even though Arthur had been a soldier for five years, he didn’t know the real identity of the war god. He had never encountered that legendary figu
“Mr. Arthur, you’re really blind. The big boss from the Skyler Group is right in front of you!”With that, Zofia immediately turned around and left.But her words made everyone in the room feel like they had stopped breathing.The boss of the Skyler Group was in front of them?Who?“Hahaha...” Aurora’s laughter suddenly filled the silent grand hall. “Who was it that said the Skyler Group would obey you?”“Where? Where? Hahaha...”“My stomach and cheeks hurt from laughing so hard! Hahaha...”Arthur’s face turned dark. He squinted his eyes and glared at Aurora with rising anger.Sensing Arthur’s dangerous aura, Richard immediately stood in front of Aurora and stared back at Arthur. “Now the Skyler Group has made its decision!”“Can you take the Nelsons family away from here?”Since becoming a warrior, Arthur had never been provoked like this before.He felt as if he were a direct subordinate of the war god. He couldn’t accept being humiliated by an unworthy son-in-law like Richard. He w
100 autograph...A bright light seemed to flash before Aurora’s eyes.Some people who heard this laughed cynically.“Hahaha… Richard, what are you saying? As long as Aurora wants it, you could give her 100 autograph signed by the War God?” said one of them.“You’re just a poor and useless person. How could you meet the War God? Would he care about you? Hahaha…”Not wanting to be outdone, Dharia replied, “Hey Richard, Mr. Arthur is a member of the Elite Troops. That’s the War God’s army. He fights alongside the War God. What about you? How dare you boast like that? Hahaha…”She felt Richard was outrageous for boasting about the War God, especially about 100 autograph!This time, Arthur spoke up. “You just said that if you wanted, you could make me fall from the sky to hell. Where is it? Where? Hahaha… Are you still brave enough to say that to me? To an elite team member, the Elite Forces? Hahaha…”Richard didn’t say much. He only wore a deep smile.He took Aurora’s hand and led her to
Not only was the debt being collected, but the effort to recover it had to be top-notch. For Dharia, the word ‘disgusting’ best described her reaction whenever she heard the name Richard.Richard had already endured plenty of abuse and insults from his ex-wife. But what he couldn’t tolerate the most was seeing Dharia’s worsening attitude toward Aurora. For that reason alone, Richard couldn’t hold back any longer.“I don’t care what the money is for or why Zofia has to be directly involved. What’s important is that I want that money back immediately. Do you have a good method for collecting this debt?” Richard asked.He was considering this as an additional terror for Dharia and Carmen—a terror that would continue to haunt them.Time passed.Dharia and Carmen had just arrived home after being out. Before they could enter the house, they were suddenly overpowered and rendered unconscious. Their bodies were stuffed into sacks and transported in a van.When they woke up, they found themse
