There was no doubt about it. Richard’s question struck directly at Dailyn’s sore spot. Even worse, his words had already provoked Lilithra.The woman immediately jumped forward and rushed toward Richard, her voice filled with anger.“You’re talking nonsense! The one the leader of the Black Emperor likes is obviously me! Aurora just arrived in Velmora city—how could she possibly know anyone from the Black Emperor?”“Besides, she’s not even the real daughter of the Nytheris Family. To put it bluntly, she’s nothing more than my dad’s illegitimate child!”But just as Lilithra finished speaking—Slap!Richard delivered a sharp slap to her face. His gaze turned deadly in an instant, sending a shiver down Lilithra’s spine. She stood frozen in place, stunned.“If you dare insult Aurora again, I’ll strangle you to death!” Richard threatened.“You...” Lilithra, now a little calmer, shrank back slightly before saying, “But the truth is, Aurora isn’t the one the leader of the Black Emperor likes!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Dharia—hidden in her safehouse—had also clearly seen that Richard had found Aurora.She was really angry about it. Gritting her teeth, she said, “They’re together again. They’re together again now. Why on earth did those two meet and get back together?!”“On top of that, what’s even stranger is that Richard wasn’t killed by anyone from the Black Emperor. He was actually just released like that. But why? On what basis?!”Dharia’s face was hard to look at. She didn’t want to see Richard and Aurora happy, not at all. At that very moment, Dharia’s phone suddenly rang.The person calling her was a middle-aged man from the Nameless Island. The one she had met the day she arrived in Myrcathia country.As soon as Dharia answered the phone, she immediately heard the voice of the middle-aged man on the other end.However, his voice sounded very cautious and wary, as if he was secretly calling Dharia. Even from the tone of his voice, it was clear that he was panicking.“How

Richard spoke as he saw the officer preparing to leave.“If I’m not mistaken, this isn’t how the procedure for detaining a suspect is supposed to work, right?” Richard said again.“Aren’t you supposed to conduct an identity check and an investigation? Isn’t there supposed to be some instruction or approval to detain someone?”“I killed someone for a clear and logical reason! Yet, you didn’t follow any procedure and just detained me immediately!”The officer turned around, eyeing Richard with a dismissive gaze as he listened to his series of questions before letting out a mocking laugh.“Investigation? Identity check? What exactly are you planning to ask?!”“What more is there to ask from you? A lowlife like you doesn’t have an identity in this country! Besides, you’re not even protected by the law here!”“You came in here quietly! Who would guarantee your release?”“Nobody will care if you live or die! So, why should we waste time on checks and exhausting procedures?”“Since Mr. Daily

Richard slowly lifted his head, his blood-red eyes staring directly at them. A cold, cruel smile spread across his lips.The figure of Richard in front of them now looked terrifying, like a demon exuding an ominous presence!However, it was his eyes that made the prison chief feel as though he were looking at the masked man from five years ago, the one who had terrified him.He was so shocked that his heart seemed to stop for a moment when he saw Richard.The man asked, “W-who are you really? How did you get here, and why are you locked up?”Richard took a step forward, his gaze glinting. His flat voice, which followed immediately, made the chief’s mind go blank for a moment, nearly causing him to stumble.“Have you forgotten your master?”The chief almost fainted on the spot. Several other prison guards quickly held him up to prevent him from collapsing.He looked at Richard with a gaze full of fear, his entire body trembling, as though the terror had reached deep into his bones!“Y-

Suddenly, they were all engulfed in silence for a few minutes, stunned by what was happening in front of them.Then, the was the first to snap out of it, standing up with trembling legs.“H-He’s... what’s wrong with him? Why did he suddenly faint?” the man stammered.“I’m a little scared, you guys take a look at his condition!” the chief said again, pushing his subordinate’s shoulder.“Sir, I’m scared too,” the subordinate answered pleadingly.His whole body shuddered as he recalled Richard’s terrifying strength. The prison chief slapped his subordinate hard on the cheek, shouting,“All of you! Get out now! We’ll see together!”The area around the prison was in complete disarray. Many officers were injured, some already lifeless, scattered across the floor.The chief walked toward Richard with his legs still shaking violently.“Sir? Are you okay?” the man asked carefully, from ten meters away.“Should I... approach him? Should I really get closer? Please don’t kill me, my insurance is
