An intense, formless aura, yet palpably real, centered on Richard and spread out in all directions.He clearly still had his previous face, the face that appeared incapable of killing.However, for some reason, the Richard of now made people feel that he was extremely dangerous, ruthless, bloodthirsty, emotionless, capable of killing anyone, and his presence was that of a king.Richard’s eyes, which didn’t seem angry but were still terrifying, slowly opened. Then, his gaze gradually shifted toward the number one member.Thud!In that instant, the number one member felt the blood in his body freeze instantly. He immediately fell to his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably. After that, he saw Richard’s lips begin to move.One sentence!Just one sentence, made up of a few words. But it was more than enough to make the number one member shiver. It sent chills down the spine of everyone present.“Number one! You don’t recognize me anymore?!”Number one… I…Boom! Crash!Those words, whi

“The Four Main Guardians for the Young Master must only come from the Nine Families! Don’t expect anyone from outside the Nine Families to be chosen!” the elder declared in a cold tone.Everyone presents exchanged meaningful glances, a silent understanding passing between them, along with a determined gleam in their eyes—their unspoken resolve to win.Just as they were basking in that shared sentiment, a frantic voice rang out from the doorway.“Disaster! Elder! Disaster!”A man rushed in, his face pale with panic, before dropping to his knees before the elder.The elder narrowed his eyes at the man’s distressed expression and asked, “What’s so urgent? Why are you shouting in such a panic?”The man lifted his head, sweat pouring down his face. His voice trembled, and he stammered slightly as he spoke.“E-Elder, it’s bad! I just received a video from the Second Tier City... I saw forty-four members of the Hellfire Group trying to kill Richard!”“Just one Richard dead, right?” the elder

“I can make sure that you’re Richard, the one Lady Rosalinde has been looking for. And yes, Lady Rosalinde is the one who always wears white clothes.”“A few days ago, before she left Drakarath city, she gave me a message saying that one day someone named Richard would arrive in Drakarath city, and I must protect that person with all my might!”“She even said you would be one of the main protectors! But I don’t know who spread this information, leading the Nine Families to learn about it.”“They know Lady Rosalinde isn’t in Drakarath city, so they deliberately sent someone to kill you. Because you’ve already hindered the Nine Families’ plans!”Richard finally understood what was going on after hearing Mikael’s explanation.No wonder!He had never been to Drakarath city before, nor did he have any grudges with the Nine Families!But for some reason, they came and wanted to kill him without any clear reason. Now, he understood the reason behind it all.“Sigh! I wonder when Lady Rosalind

This is about someone who saved his life around Cascade Villa back then. It seems like five years ago, he had a few friends who were very close. But unfortunately, he couldn’t remember them at all! However, if he had considered them friends five years ago, then now, upon his return, he wouldn’t forget them so easily.“Three hours, right?” Richard said again, lifting his face, his eyes gleaming coldly.The man pulled the corner of his lips into a cynical smile. He looked at his phone, which displayed Hallvard’s report showing the man’s position. Then, he turned to the members of Hellfire Group and gave an order that would shake the entire country! It would stir the whole of Drakarath city and leave everyone stunned by his command.“Then don’t disappoint her! It’s been five years since we’ve met. It’s time for me to send her to hell myself!” Richard said, his eyes shining with a dangerous gleam.The members of Hellfire Group instantly jumped with joy. The suffering they had endured over

The man in black charged forward, barreling toward Elder Jarvis with the speed of the wind!He strangled the old man’s neck, lifting Elder Jarvis’s chin upwards. His eyes gleamed with a cold and murderous light.Although Elder Jarvis’s eyes were starting to roll upwards, he still showed no signs of giving up or retreating.“I-I... I-I can’t... let you... t-take... M-Madam Chairlady!”It was impossible! Elder Jarvis wouldn’t let the man in black take the leader’s wife, even if it meant sacrificing his own life!Even at this moment, his only concern was Aurora’s safety. He had promised Richard he would protect his wife, even if it meant sacrificing everything, including his life.Seeing that Elder Jarvis could barely hold on, the man in black grinned wider, his smile becoming cruel.Aurora, noticing Elder Jarvis’s face growing paler and his breath growing shallow, finally decided to act.“Sir! Be careful!”Clement’s shocked cry was followed by the sound of a knife plunging into skin.Au
