Rick and Richard news, also known as R&R news, was a media company that was soaring to greater heights lately.

“In the last year itself, they saw a growth of seventeen percent, Mom, which is massive,” Ben was telling his family members while Jamie was driving the family car Kia Seltos worth about 30,000 dollars.

“So, what’s their company’s net worth?” Ivy curiously asked.

“Almost 150 million dollars, I believe,” Ben replied, pleasantly surprising her.

“Does that mean the Richard family has more than the company?” Ivy quickly queried.

“I don’t know their family’s net worth, but they’re definitely past that hundred million mark,” Ben explained. “I mean, the car that Amelia uses is an Aston Martin worth nearly 200 grand.”

“Hahaha,” Ivy started laughing. “I’ve never sat in a car worth more than 100 grand. I can’t wait for this new experience I’m going to get.”

Even Ruth was getting excited. Their family was by no means poor. They were in the upper middle class, but they never had the zeal

    Almost four years ago.Amelie just turned eighteen, and she also joined the college in the robotic engineering department.However, on the first day of her college, she also planned on doing something she had never done before.It was to go out on a date. And she picked a blind date.It was going to be her first date, so she was really excited to meet this man. Her college was in Salem city, so she had to look for a man from the same city, too.On that evening, she stopped by a small restaurant known as Drake's restaurant. She purposely picked a small but famous restaurant.“I brought money, but it’d be nice if he pays for me,” Amelie thought as she waited. “Will he be a gentleman, or will he be a douchebag?” she lightly tapped her cheeks. “Let’s not be negative-minded on my first date.”Amelie was half-an-hour early, so she had to wait at her table, wondering what kind of a man she was going to meet. With every minute passed, her expectations went higher. She was a young soul with a

    Ulmer wanted to enjoy the dating experience and gain some knowledge. That was his goal. He wasn’t planning on convincing the girl, but after seeing Amelie who’s got those big beautiful eyes, he ended up speaking some nonsense and put himself in big trouble.After all, Amelie now took him straight to her college. It was a co-ed college, where men and women could study together in the same hostel if they wanted. However, they needed to sign their arrival and departure in the books.Also, men weren’t allowed to stay after nine o’clock in the night. When Ulmer and Amelie arrived at the hostel, it was already eight o’clock, so they had only one hour to spend together in the room.Amelie was fully thinking about the robotic dog project she had been working on before she even joined this college. However, Ulmer was feeling quite awkward because he found himself in a ladies' hostel. He could see bras and panties hanging on the ropes, and the girls in many rooms were giving him those long star

    Almost four years later, Ulmer saw that magnificent back again. Amelie didn’t have a big butt, but because of her thin waist, her other features were enhanced by it.Ulmer straightaway remembered Amelie even though he didn’t even see her face yet. “I-Is it her?” He did remember her features, but he forgot her name. “What was her name again?”“Hey, what are you daydreaming about?” Mollie asked him, grabbing his hand. “I know this big house might be intimidating, but let’s go inside. It’s better to blend in with others instead of standing out. Trust me with that.”Mollie took Ulmer inside, and he hoped that it wasn’t Amelie but someone else that he saw.However, after entering the hall, Ulmer saw Amelie introducing Ben and his family to her family members, and he still remembered that pretty face. She looked a little older now, but she pretty much looked the same as she did that day. She was just as slim and attractive.It almost felt like the clock was turned back.“Don’t drool over he

    After dinner, Ross was talking with Ivy and Jamie on the balcony. They used this moment to apologize for what had happened when he and his son came to their home.Ross told them to forget about it. “It wasn’t a good first impression, but I’m a man who believes in second chances. So, let’s get along.”Ivy and Jamie were gladdened by Ross’ optimism.Meanwhile, Mollie and Ulmer were waiting on the lawn. It was cold, so Ulmer wrapped his suit around Mollie.“What do you think about the Richard family, Ulmer?” Mollie asked him. “I think Ross is a class act. If he wants, I’m sure many rich young men would line up for his daughter, but he’s given respect for her love and agreed to marry her to Ben. We’re lucky to form a relationship with such a man, don’t you think? If Mike was here, he would have definitely felt happy for his grandson.”“I’m sure he would,” Ulmer said. Mike was Mollie’s late husband, and he loved his grandchildren a lot, and they remembered him as mostly being a funny and

    At around twelve in the night.Ross and Jamie and Ivy were coming out together, and all three of them seemed to be in a good mood.“There’s no rush, Ms. Ivy,” Ross said. “We’ll get them engaged soon. But as for marriage, let’s wait a little and see how they go by. If everything is fine after a while, and both of them are still interested in each other’s company, we can arrange a grand wedding.”“Y-Yes, that sounds cool,” Ivy was smiling on the outside but on the inside, she was crying. She didn’t think Ross would bring such a condition out of nowhere.But Jamie wasn’t too surprised by it because he had heard a little of Ross’ backstory, that his wife had left him after five years of marriage when their kids were very young. She left him because he was focusing more on work and less on her. After that, Ross took care of his children on his own. He didn’t marry anybody else, so Jamie could understand why Ross was particular about giving time for his daughter to think before moving onto

    Ben and others reached their home in their Kia Seltos. Ben and Ivy went inside happily, whereas Jamie was parking the car in the garage.Mollie’s back was hurting from sitting for nearly forty minutes in the car, so she took Ruth’s and Ulmer’s help to walk to her room.After dropping Mollie in her room, Ulmer said good night and then exited the room with Ruth. He quickly told her, “Don’t steal things, Ruth. It’s never going to help you.”Ruth’s heart shook very much. “W-What are you talking about, Bro?”Ulmer put his hand on her shoulder. “I saw it. You taking the locket from that statue.”Ruth’s eyes widened. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”Ulmer, however, didn’t smile or blink. “I’m not going to tell anyone, but for your own good, I’m telling you. Don’t steal like that again. It’s never going to help. I’m not trying to preach you or anything. When I was young, I stole a thing or two from my friend’s house, too. Once I stole a small mirro

    The next morning.Ben woke up at around nine in the morning and came out to the verandah yawning. Jamie was cleaning his car, which made Ben roll his eyes. (He’s at it again. Why does he clean the car everyday?) “Dad, the car won’t become fresh just because you clean it regularly.”“But it won’t look dirty and old if we regularly clean it,” Jamie replied. “Don’t discount these habits, Son. They may seem insignificant to you, but one good habit can lead to another.”“So, you’re suggesting that cleaning your car daily will help you be better in other areas, too?” Ben faintly smiled. “Self-butterfly effect, huh. That sounds interesting. I admit.”“The rice mill worker dropped the bag outside,” Jamie said, “instead of leaving it in the house. Why don’t you take it inside?”Ben looked at the rice big. It looked big. Still, he came to the bag and tried to pick it up. He was able to lift it a bit, but to his surprise, he couldn’t do it fully. “It’s quite heavy.”“That’s 120 pounds,” Jamie sa

    Minutes kept passing, but the old couple that had occupied both of the bathrooms were not coming out.Jamie and Ivy, however, refused to go anywhere. They kept their watch even though it meant that they had to put their other works aside.Mollie felt her stomach loosening, so she came to the bathroom and was shocked to see that it was closed. She looked at Jamie. “Don’t tell me, they’re still inside? It’s been almost an hour, though.”Jamie shrugged his shoulders.Mollie then knocked on the door without hesitation. “Are you done?”“Ah, just a minute,” the old man replied from the inside.Mollie patiently waited, but a minute turned into three minutes. Mollie couldn’t help but be frustrated. “How long are you going to stay in there? Come out for a couple of minutes. I need to use the bathroom.”“Just a minute,” the old man replied, making Mollie grind her teeth.Again, one minute turned into three minutes. Mollie would have probably kicked the door open if she hadn’t grown old.“Do you

    EPILOGUE

    A few months later.Ben and Amelie not only started their business together but also got married, and Ivy as usual caused a lot of noise during the marriage, asking Ross Richard to give her son this and that.Ross had to give in to her demands because of his daughter Amelie.Ivy’s brother took some gold from her and started a restaurant business because Ulmer had commanded him to stop his finance business as he was sucking people’s blood with it. His wife didn’t like it and went back to her home, but she would eventually return to his side a few years later, after her mother would die.Rick Orsini’s right-hand man, Lexor, was sitting alone on the rooftop of a big hotel, reading the online news on his tablet.“Someone called Urban God joined the Underworld Kings competition?” Lexor raised his eyebrows. “If he’s the real deal, no one will be able to stop him.”Underworld Kings was a world-wide martial arts competition where people with all kinds of superpowers competed, with loose rules

    “Your wife?!”“That girl who looks younger than Ruth is your wife?” Ivy quickly said. “Are you out of your mind, Ulmer?”“She’s 19,” Ulmer coldly glanced at her. “So, what’s the problem?”“T-That’s…” Ivy found her throat shaking. His gaze felt intimidating. “I-Isn’t there too much age gap between you two?”“What bullshit are you saying, Ivy?” Mollie snorted. “My grandson is not even thirty, and you say there’s an age gap? Can’t you see that they both look nice next to one another? Also, it’s actually nice if there's a five to six year gap between the husband and wife.”Mollie gently held Ayana’s cheeks and lifted up her head.“Where did you hide such a pretty girl all this time from us, Ulmer?” Mollie said. “You will get punished for this later.”“Ulmer always talks greatly about you, Grandmother,” Ayana said. “So, please forgive him this once.”“Hahaha,” Mollie laughed heartily. “Your wife is already defending you so much, Ulmer. She’s not just beautiful but also smart. I think it’s

    The news of so many Thorns dying did not get leaked in the underworld, much less to the common public.However, some of the topdogs in the underworld eventually heard of the heart-shaking news that more than half of the thorns died in the hands of someone called the Urban God.And the title Urban God started to be feared by those who have heard about it.Also, a new bounty appeared on the Urban God, whose name and face were kept hidden by the thorns on purpose.His current bounty was a quadrillion dollars, twice as much as the current world’s known wealth.The amount was so ridiculous and crazy that many bounty hunters thought it was just a fake bounty. A scam. A joke.But then there were those who believed that it could be real and started to investigate the name Urban God. However, most of them would give up on their search the more they learned about the recent history of the Urban God.A few weeks after Crimia was buried from the hidden face of the earth.Minerva had woken up, but

    At around two in the night, the vibrations stopped, and the people finally were able to breathe freely.Many of them went back into their homes and slept. Some still stayed outside, afraid of the quake happening again.Around three in the night, Dark Monarch arrived at the Bronich city, but he was surprised to find out that the entire Crimia had been buried by mud. All the entrances were sealed off by mud.“What the hell just happened here in the time I was gone? Was he responsible for this?”Just then, he looked up into the sky.Miles high in the sky, Abbie was flying away with her mother’s body in her arms, her expression dark and desolate under moonlight.“Isn’t that…”Suddenly, immense pressure was put on his body.“Gravity Cage…” Ulmer appeared next to him.Dark Monarch’s body was crushed from every angle by pressure he had never experienced before. He screamed at the top of his lungs.“You should have never returned,” Ulmer did not spare even an inkling of mercy on him. “Gravity

    “She’s going to live,” the royal healer, Irvi, an old lady with poisonous pimples all over her face, said. She was 120 years old but was still able to stand straight. However, her voice was not steady. She was observing Minerva’s pulse.Minerva was lying on the bed in the medical chambers not far from the royal palace.“However, her system has integrated with her body, so we can’t take it out,” Irvi said. “If we do it right now, she will die.”“Is it not possible to separate the system without killing her?” Ulmer asked.“It is, but that’s only possible when she overcomes the system?” Irvi responded. “The chances of that ever happening are slim.”Ulmer frowned but then said, “Do what you can to heal her.”“I will. That’s my job, after all,” Irvi said. “No matter how wicked a person may be, if they come to my doorstep, I will not turn my back toward them.”Ulmer slightly bowed his head to her and walked out onto the balcony of that building, where Minerva’s dad, Neodus was present.“I t

    The vines suddenly dashed at Ulmer from behind.Ulmer didn’t even move an inch and stood unmoving.The vines rushed past him at a terrific speed and pierced Minerva’s body everywhere. She coughed out a lot of blood.“I didn’t want my blood on your hands,” she tried to smile despite the pain coursing through her body. “I’m… really sorry… for everything.”She was collapsing forward.Ulmer let go of the sword and held her shoulders, stopping her from falling to the ground.Minerva’s eyes began to turn completely dark. The vines that pierced her body began to turn direction and then pierced through Ulmer’s body from behind.Blood rushed to Ulmer’s mouth, but kept his mouth shut. Still, blood slowly leaked from a corner of his mouth.He sent a mental message to her. “It’s okay…”He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.Minerva’s eyes shed more tears, and the blackness in her eyes began to disperse slowly but surely.In a few moments, Minerva’s eyes closed.He could still feel her spi

Someone with whom he had gone shopping with? Someone who seemed so innocent and lovely when he first met her?Remembering the times when they both went to a jewelry shop, and she studded herself with all kinds of gold and acted like a royal made Ulmer laugh heartily back then.He thought he fell in love with the best girl there was.But look, what has become of her now?She was reduced to someone who would hypnotize a little girl in order to lure Ulmer’s relatives out of the house.Even though Ulmer was just standing, he felt his heart strings playing hard to the point they were hurting because he knew that the time was near.“U-Ulmer…” Minerva could feel his emot

    The Drunken Disaster Dionysus, the Wild King Enkidu, the Snake-haired Perseus, the Moon Goddess Artemis, the Sun God Apollo, the War Goddess Ishtar, and the one standing in front of them all and more was the mighty, monstrous King of Heroes Gilgamesh who stood nearly six meters tall.Not one of them could be called anything less than a monster.They were all absolute powerhouses, who made a name for themselves around the world in their times.Some of their powers transcended common sense and logic.“How dare a mere artificial system holder stand in our path? Know your place, vermin!” Ishtar, the war goddess, who looked extremely seductive as well as scary, squinted her eyes, releasing a powerful wave of energy that was supposed to suppress her opponent.Ulmer felt goosebumps all over. “Whooo… that tingles.” He smiled with excitement. (She saw through my system with a glance. I don’t know who she is, but she’s very dangerous. It’s not just her….) His gaze fell on others. (They are all
