“Quick, tell me, where is he now! This concerns his life and death, as well as the future of our family!” Florian said, looking panicked.Grace held her face, which felt sore, her eyes red. She bit her lower lip while pointing toward the direction Richard had gone.Then, she said unhappily, “He went that way!”Upon hearing that, Florian immediately led his bodyguards to chase after the direction Richard had gone.At that moment, after leaving the hotel, Richard took out a pill that Rosalinde had given him. The pill could alter his aura and appearance.He then took a bottle of easily dissolvable powder and applied it to his face. Soon, Richard transformed into someone completely different from his original self.However, the effect of the drug was very brief. It only lasted for three hours.“Wait a minute! Are you the one named Richard? The Richard who came from the Fourth Tier City competition?”Suddenly, Florian, who had managed to catch up, saw Richard walking out of an alley. He ha

At this moment, Richard was on the other side. He had arrived at the Franco family residence, located in the Second-Tier City.Florian ordered all the servants in his house to step back and immediately led Richard to his study.Afterward, he let out a long sigh and said, “Mr. Richard, now you are safe here.”“I’ve contacted my connections. When the time comes, I’ll take you directly to Drakarath city.”“As long as you can enter Drakarath city, the Nine Families won’t do anything to you openly.”“As for the Hellfire group, they will also fear the power of the Four Rulers of Drakarath city. They won’t dare to casually come to Drakarath city to kill anyone!”“By that time, as long as you stay hidden and hold out until the Guardian Selection match, after that, you can showcase your strengths in the arena. You’ll attract the attention of the Four Rulers of Drakarath city, and then, you’ll truly be safe!”However, up until now, Florian still didn’t know that the Four Rulers of Drakarath cit

Seeing Florian’s reaction, Richard wasn’t surprised at all. He simply let out a cold laugh. So, in the end, this man only cared about his own gains.Back then, when Florian had extended his hand and offered help to Richard, it was purely because he saw an opportunity to benefit from him.After that, the man had been gambling with himself—wondering whether he would succeed in profiting from Richard later. But now, the moment danger appeared, he was backing away?“There’s no need!” Richard suddenly replied.“Mr. Florian, I, Richard, will handle my own affairs!” From the beginning, Richard never intended to rely on Florian.Hearing Richard’s response, Florian instinctively let out a sigh of relief. Yet at the same time, he felt as if he had lost something of great importance.At that moment, the Hellfire Group, which had completely surrounded the Franco family residence, raised their weapons.One of them—their number one—stood at a high vantage point, staring coldly at the Franco home. W

In the most critical moment, a man in his twenties ran forward with a fearful and anxious expression.Upon seeing the members of the Hellfire group surrounding and about to kill Richard, he was so shocked that his heart trembled.Without hesitation, he stepped forward and stood directly in front of Richard. He pushed Richard back.Then, he launched a direct attack on the members of the Hellfire group. Instantly, the sound of thunderous punches colliding in the air could be heard.Both Mikael and one of the Hellfire members were slightly knocked back, feeling a bit of pain.The expression on the face of the Hellfire member who was attacked by the man slightly changed. They instinctively retreated due to the significant shock.Meanwhile, the man even spat out a mouthful of blood. When he slightly lifted his head, his lips looked pale. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.Then, he looked up and fixed his gaze on the Hellfire members. His expression seemed to vow to protect Ri

Richard had just managed to stand steadily. Suddenly, he felt from all directions that four members of the Hellfire group had surrounded him. Without hesitation, they immediately lunged at him.Their target was Richard’s heart. Richard’s expression immediately changed drastically, and his body instinctively prepared to fall backward.However, Mikael, who was also surrounded on the other side, suddenly felt as if the sky was about to collapse. He stood up in horror, frozen in place.“N-N- No! You can’t! Don’t! You can’t kill him!” he shouted.But soon, the sound of long knives stabbing into flesh echoed repeatedly. At the very moment Mikael froze, the members of the Hellfire group took the opportunity to stab him in the stomach several times.In the blink of an eye, blood flowed from the wounds in his abdomen, dripping steadily. Yet, it seemed Mikael didn’t feel any pain. He tightly gripped the knife that had pierced his stomach with both bare hands. Then...Stab!He suddenly yanked th
