“We’ll go there first. After we get through today smoothly, we’ll become people of high standing!”“I’ll make Richard regret how he treated us yesterday. I won’t let him get away with it!”Lilithra and her family set off in their old car, heading toward the hotel where the wedding event was being held.Today, all the important people in the city would be attending the ceremony. Everyone seemed eager to win the favor of the leader of the Black Emperor faction. The gifts given were also of extraordinary value!This was all because the person getting married was the leader of the Black Emperor group, one of the most esteemed individuals in the fifth-level city. Each gift presented by the guests was purposely announced by a person assigned to announce both the gift and its price.Everyone widened their eyes when they heard the gifts given as congratulations. Every pair of eyes there began to search for the figure of the mysterious leader of the Black Emperor faction.But none of them coul

That sinister smile had only been on their lips for a few seconds before it was instantly replaced by an expression of shock and astonishment.Tap! Tap! Tap!From the second floor, the front entrance, and various hidden spots in the hotel, the sound of footsteps echoed. In an instant, the place was filled with hundreds of members of the formidable group known as the Black Emperor.Everyone assumed that the gathered members were there to seize Richard, who had behaved so outrageously.But to their surprise—it was the complete opposite! The members all knelt before Richard in unison!Then, as one, they greeted Richard and addressed him as their leader! The entire room was filled with a resounding echo of their voices.Lilithra stood frozen in place, her mouth agape in shock. Meanwhile, Lorren’s eyes widened so much they looked as if they might pop out of their sockets.The guests witnessing the scene were also rooted in place, their gazes fixed on Richard.Then, almost instinctively, th

Richard kicked the old man, sending him flying several meters away, before fixing a cold, sharp gaze on Dailyn.“If you say Aurora is too low, then what are you and the others?!” Richard snapped.“Are you really unaware of your place?! Do you think you have the right to consider me family?!” Richard said sharply, causing the other members of the Nytheris family to freeze in place.Zohn Collier swallowed hard, still in shock. He stared at Richard intently, unable to believe the man’s true identity.How could Richard go from being an ordinary man to the leader of the Black Emperor?If he had known who Richard really was from the start, he never would have offended him and instead would have done the opposite!“Grandpa,” Lilithra murmured, watching as her grandfather vomited blood and clutched his chest in pain.The woman’s face turned pale, and she quickly ran to her grandfather. Lilithra turned toward Richard and shouted.“Richard! You can’t treat Grandfather like this! You just think

Not only the members but also the elder of Jarvis, who was behind Richard, stepped forward and extended a glass of alcohol to him.The glass was gladly received by him. His lips, which had just touched the rim of the glass, paused as he remembered an incident when he was imprisoned.It seemed that he had lost consciousness after drinking a glass of beer. But, surely, nothing like that would happen now, right?“Leader, why aren’t you drinking? Are you worried there’s poison in your drink?” asked Elder Jarvis in a whisper.Richard remained silent, then, in front of the elder, he emptied the contents of the glass in one gulp. He was confident that he wouldn’t get drunk from just a small glass.After the liquid passed his throat, he turned around and tilted his head forward. However, the man froze when he saw what was before him.There, in front of him, was a red carpet stretching hundreds of meters from the first floor all the way up to the third floor! At the end of the third floor sto

Dharia suddenly stood in the center. She took out the pill that Ravenna had personally given to her. This pill was meant to restore her facial appearance. At that time, Ravenna had told her that if she wanted her face to return to normal, she should take this pill.Without hesitation, she swallowed the pill in front of everyone present. Then, a shocking scene unfolded.Dharia’s face began to twitch violently, as if something was moving beneath her skin.“My God!”“Unbelievable...”“She... she...” “Is she... Dharia?” “Richard’ ex-wife?” “So, the Black Emperor was married before in Almolia City? Oh my God!”All the family heads were shocked and stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief. Realizing this, Aurora’s heart sank.Her.. Dharia? She’s not dead?No wonder that woman hated Richard so much. No wonder she set Aurora up and had evil intentions toward her. It turns out she was Dharia.It all made sense now—on that night, after Aurora had received martial arts training at the Black Empe
