Richard, still trapped in the secret room, stared at Hallvard with a look of shock and disbelief. The Hallvard standing before him no longer seemed like the same Hallvard he had always known.This Hallvard appeared far more ruthless, devoid of emotion, with an aura brimming with the presence of a cold-blooded killer.The man’s eyes were hollow, as if he had lost all his memories and reason. Every strike Hallvard threw was aimed directly at Richard, as if he were the sole target Hallvard had to eliminate.Thud!Richard blocked Hallvard’s attack using whatever object he could find nearby. He tried his best to evade Hallvard’s strikes, knowing full well that if even one of them landed, it could mean instant death. At best, he would be left gravely injured and permanently crippled.Richard could tell that Hallvard’s strength was now on an entirely different level. It was either far superior to his own or at least on par.Perhaps if Richard’s strength were fully restored to 100%, he could

“A servant like him daring to do anything to you definitely deserves to be executed! What you did earlier was the right action!”“Thank goodness you’re okay. If not, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to Mr. Noman.”Meanwhile, Noman let out a cold grunt and shot a scornful glance at the servant in passing. Then, he looked at Rhydian intently and spoke in a threatening tone.“Richard is my savior, and I don’t want to hear that anything dangerous happened to him! If it does, I’ll report it to my father!”After delivering the threatening words, he turned and approached Richard. “Richard, I’m the one you helped at the airport a few days ago. I’ve been looking for you for days, and finally, I found you!”“From this moment, my family and I will surely defend and protect you! If anyone dares to do anything, don’t hesitate to report it to me!”Richard turned and looked at Noman with a critical eye. He hadn’t expected that the person he had helped by chance would have such a high position in th

While Urick merely stared at the mother and child, unable to say anything, Talyra nodded with certainty. She belonged only to Albin! She would never allow Richard to touch her, even the slightest! Talyra knew how valuable Albin was. She also knew that he would never marry her, let alone tell everyone that they had been together before. But that didn’t matter to her. Just seeing Albin was enough for her; asking him to marry her was out of the question. “Talyra, Grandpa called. We have to go there right away. Richard and the others are already there,” the middle-aged man said to Talyra and Renita. The disgust in Talyra’s eyes was impossible to hide. She quickly walked to follow her parents. At the Ashbourne family’s home, everyone stared at Richard with complicated expressions. However, some of them admired his handsomeness. They had not expected Richard, who had come without his mask this time, to be so handsome. Five years ago, Richard always appeared with his strange mask. Sud

“It’s impossible for me to accept you. You have nothing. Even when I came, you didn’t offer me a drink at all. You’re useless!”“Enough! I’m tired of looking at trash like you!” Renita finished her words.A dark thought crossed Richard’s mind. After meeting people from the Nelsons Family, this time Richard felt like he was meeting a woman equally disgusting—Renita!Both Carmen and Renita, these two middle-aged women, had foul mouths. Their behavior wasn’t much better either.If it could be said, Renita was another version of Carmen in Grimhaven City. For some reason, Richard couldn’t understand how he kept meeting repulsive people like them.Suddenly, Richard wondered how many more ‘Carmens’ were out there living in families across the world? He was sure there were still more vile and ungrateful people like Carmen and Renita.But in the end, Richard tried to comply with the woman’s words. He grabbed the drinking cup nearby and handed it to Renita. But then, suddenly...Whoosh!It turn

Richard laughed for a moment after hearing Noman’s words, then he replied, “Yes, the rumor is true!”Noman was immediately stunned upon hearing that answer. It seemed that his suspicions had been correct.“Thank you for being concerned about me,” Richard said sincerely.Noman smiled and waved his hand, “Ah, there’s no need to thank me. I said that because I still remember what the Ashbourne family did to you.”“Hearing that you went back there, I was worried they’d start oppressing you again,” Noman added.Richard nodded slowly. He understood what Noman meant.After a while, the car finally stopped at the entrance of the medical campus. Richard, who was walking down the hallway, could clearly hear the sounds of pain.“Aaaaarrggghhhh...!!!”The voice was very familiar to him. Before long, Richard found himself behind the doctors who looked extremely anxious, staring at the door where the Chief Medical Officer was inside.“What should we do? The Chief Medical Officer is in pain again an
