"You wear fake things just for the sake of prestige. It's very embarrassing." The woman scoffed at him again without hesitation, her eyes constantly moving to watch Richard and what he was wearing, her eyes searching for the loopholes of the clothes.

He was astonished by the details he stole from the official website of the internet and the items that appeared before his eyes took on a very real form. Even the details and logos were similar to their originals, but he naturally refused to believe it.

She couldn't believe that someone like Richard could afford such clothes. She glanced beside Richard, looking at Jhonas, who looked shabby and tacky. She smiled, certain that Richard could not be that rich considering he was sitting with someone like Jhonas, who looked poor.

"Wearing fake things, how dare you say they cost millions? Who do you think will believe, huh?" she leaned closer to Richard and showed her expression more clearly. Her hand moved to point, but Richard casually brushed it off and looked at her flatly without faltering.

The woman sneered unrestrainedly. What Richard did aggravated the attitude of those who felt their ego was exposed. "Don't you know about the government's law on counterfeit goods?" the woman stared at Richard, who was out of her sight, her eyes wide open with a smug expression on her face.

Of course, Richard knew about the law that she mentioned. He knew their government was against the circulation of counterfeit products that affected the country's economy and cost it a lot of money.

This ban came about because previously, there were so many counterfeits of famous brands that went into the market and caused the country to suffer huge losses. The high purchasing power of the public had a huge impact on the country's economy, which suffered losses of billions of dollars. For that reason, many counterfeits were destroyed, but not all were successfully arrested.

"Of course, he doesn't know?" Jacob responded to the woman's words, then looked at Richard condescendingly. "I'm sure he's not an educated person. He's not about one of those who understand the rules." His tone sounded very arrogant.

Jhonas was flabbergasted. Behind Richard's shoulder, he looked at them with an offended look. However, he was too self-conscious of his status, so he couldn't do anything while Richard was still casually looking at them, listening to the extent of their knowledge of the policies of the country they lived in. He wanted to hear what those people knew.

The woman released her hand that was flanking Jacob's arm and then approached Richarda again after being brushed off. "If you don't know, then I'll tell you." He acted in front of Richard. "The use of counterfeit goods is illegal. You can be arrested. Do you know why?" he moved closer to Richard. "That's because the circulation of counterfeit goods can harm the country's economy. How could you not know something like that? How stupid." She sneered at Richard without hesitation.

"Even though the government has forbidden it, people like you are still making trouble by buying it." Jacob touched the collar of the shirt Richard was wearing deliberately.

Richard moved his gaze to Jacob's hand that touched him, then looked at Jacob coldly.

Jacob moved his mouth in complaint. He tried to remain calm, looking at Richard's eyes, who looked at him and made him both disturbed and annoyed. "You can't act like a hero with your current attitude!" he gritted his jaw and made his voice sound very low and threatening at the same time. "You're nothing, so don't act like a big shot in front of me!" he stepped closer, just a few centimeters in front of Richard, and locked eyes with him.

"hey... hey, back off." Jhonas tried to separate but instead was pushed by Jacob, who made him move away from there.

From the corner of his eye, he could see that Jhonas was fine, then his eyes moved back to stare at Jacob intently. "I don't care about what you say." It was all completely unimportant to Richard.

Since it wasn't what they were talking about, Richard knew that he didn't need to hesitate or take offense because they weren't saying anything true about him at all. It was all just their words doubting him.

"What's going on?" The place manager approached them, looking at the somewhat chaotic surroundings with one of his staff who seemed to be standing stiffly and fearfully there. "Why the fuss?" The man demanded an answer. Jacob immediately turned to the manager to say what happened in his version. "Those two people are at fault in this. They are troublemakers who don't know their place and manners." Jacob pointed at the manager.

The manager listened to him as the others were still silent. Catching the manager paying attention to his words, Jacob turned his target towards the waiter. "The waiter is also at fault. He doesn't know how to serve guests properly. After getting my shoes and my partner's shirt splashed by the food he spilled, instead of immediately apologizing, he ignored me and my partner." He turned to point at the panic-faced waitress. "

Jhonas, behind Richard because he pulled him, then drove forward and looked strangely at the man, twisting the facts. "What he's saying isn't true!" he exclaimed, looking at the manager and alternating between looking at the waiter on the other side and then back at Jacob. "This man-made them fall on purpose, so it's not your waiter's fault." Jhonas defended the waitress.

The manager looked confused, looking back and forth at those who were explaining, but their words were blaming each other.

"Don't listen to him. What he said is not true. You should fire him immediately because he will make you suffer a big loss. I'll leave this place if you don't get him out of here." He threatened the manager.

Richard grinned at him. "Losing a bar-bar customer like you is not a loss for this restaurant." after he responded, all attention turned to him.

Jacob clenched his fists tightly. "Shut your mouth, fake goods user!" he exclaimed at Richard. "Look at what you're wearing." His words made a woman pass by, turning her head toward him.

The woman looked at Richard and then turned to Jacob strangely. "Don't you know, or are you just talking? The items he's wearing are genuine items from the new S brand that came out this season. They can't be fake," the woman said, making the others dumbfounded.

    One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

    "Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

    After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

    "Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

    Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

    "What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t
