Thud!

The loud thud made everyone jump in surprise.

“Ahhh!!!” the man cried out in pain, clutching his head and releasing his grip on Dharia.

Immediately, someone else shouted in response, “Blood! He’s bleeding!”

“Richard, are you crazy?! This is Elvan Winston, the nephew of Diamond Group’s general manager, Mr. Raylon Winston! Have you had enough of life to dare hit him until he bleeds like this?!” Dharia exclaimed, feeling weak as not only had ten billion disappeared just like that, but she was also facing trouble with the largest company in Almolia City.

Diamond Group’s general manager—what kind of madman would dare challenge him?

“Richard! How dare you hit me?!” Elvan stared at Richard with bloodshot eyes as blood flowed down his face. His right hand pressed against the wound on his head, trying to stop the bleeding.

The entire room froze upon hearing Winston’s outcry. No one dared to stand in the way of the nephew of Diamond Group’s general manager. It was akin to signing their own death warrants.

Richard ignored Winston’s shout. His focus was solely on Dharia, whose face had turned pale witnessing this horrific scene. “Darling, I’m sorry, okay? For the past three years, I’ve let you be humiliated by so many people. From now on, no one will ever be able to disrespect you again. Shall we go home? I’ll take care of the company matters.”

Go home?

Richard was still thinking about going home after what he had just done?

After everything he had just done?

“Dharia Nelsons, from the Nelsons Family, right? Richard, isn’t it? Alright!” Elvan suddenly spoke. He stared at Richard with cold eyes, like a wild beast observing its prey. “I didn’t want to mention this earlier, but since you’ve gone too far, I’ll tell you anyway. The general manager of Diamond Group, he’s my uncle. The local police chief is also my uncle. My cousin is the deputy minister of industry!”

“Dharia, let me tell you, if you don’t make this scoundrel kneel down and apologize to me a hundred times today, don’t expect your family and this scoundrel to ever set foot in this city again!”

Wow!

Elvan’s connections surprised everyone who heard them. Even Dharia was almost fainting from shock. She had long known that Winston’s family background was powerful, but she didn’t realize it was this strong.

“Don’t touch me!” Dharia exclaimed to Richard, pushing his hand away. “Go away, far away!”

Dharia approached Winston, then apologized to him, “I’m sorry... He didn’t mean it, please, don’t be so angry...”

She turned to Richard, “What are you just standing there for?! Didn’t you hear what he said? Kneel down a hundred times!”

“Damn, I’m so unlucky, marrying a scumbag like you! For three years, all you’ve done is ask for money from me, and now you’re humiliating me in front of everyone? Use your brain for once! Apologize to Elvan Winston!”

Richard clenched his fists upon hearing his wife’s words. He realized, for the first time, how much Dharia despised him. All this time, he had been considered a beggar by his own wife. Perhaps that’s why Dharia now wanted him to kneel before that bastard Winston.

“Darling, I really can help your company. Please trust me, just this once. Okay?” Richard asked, looking at his wife with a serious expression. Just one chance, he would prove that he could do what he had just said.

Unfortunately, after living together for three years, Dharia had seen how useless Richard was.

“You don’t need to say anything! I’m sick of it. Apologize now!”

Sick?

Richard smiled bitterly, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, “What if I don’t want to?”

It was the first time he had opposed his wife’s words. Usually, he would never go against Dharia’s commands, blows, or insults. But, as he had said earlier, today was different from any other day.

Immediately, Dharia reflexively raised her hand and slapped Richard’s cheek.

Slap!

Dharia’s palm met Richard’s cheek, making a loud sound that silenced everyone again. No one had expected Dharia to slap her own husband in front of them.

But the silence didn’t last long. A few seconds later, they all started laughing at Richard, “That’s it! Don’t pamper this jerk, slap him a few more times if necessary!”

“Agree! Someone who only knows how to ask for money should be treated like this! Why bother being kind to him?”

Richard gently rubbed his cheek.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter, laughing at himself. For three years, he had hoped to touch Dharia’s heart. But it seemed that it was all just an illusion. He was so foolish, hoping for something that could never happen.

His hard work over the years, doing all the household chores delegated to him by the Nelsons Family. The secrets he occasionally wanted to reveal but held back with all his might until the right time came. It was such a pity that when that time truly arrived, Dharia only grew to hate him more.

“I. Will. Not. Apologize!”

“Richard!” Dharia stared coldly at her husband. “Have you ever earned any money from your own work all this time? No, right! Have you ever bought me a gift? No, you haven’t! Help the company? Forget it! Apologize now, or we’re getting a divorce! I regret having such a useless husband like you!”

Divorce?

Once, he had feared this word greatly. He might even have considered suicide if it had come to that, but now it wasn’t like that anymore. At this moment, he only felt disappointment towards that woman. He never thought his own wife would slap him and threaten him for another man.

Elvan laughed upon hearing Dharia’s words.

“This scumbag wouldn’t survive if he gets divorced, you know? His food, drink, even his place to live, all provided by the Nelsons Family. What are you waiting for? Come here, apologize, or you’ll be divorced.”

He then turned to Jaslene, “You see, Jas, when you’re looking for a husband, don’t choose someone like this guy! Your whole life will be miserable if you end up with a life partner like Richard. Dharia here is a great example for you, so you don’t mimic what he does.”

“Okay,” Richard said, still clenching his fists. While forcing a smile on his face, he said to Dharia with a trembling voice, “I’m sorry.”

Dharia felt relieved that Richard finally followed her words. She knew he would obey her like a dog obeys its owner when threatened with divorce. Indeed, she always regarded her own husband as a dog.

“If Winston doesn’t forgive you, you might as well die! I can’t stand looking at your face,” Dharia said before turning to Winston. “It’s all his fault, please don’t take it to heart. He’s about to apologize—”

“Dharia, you seem to have misunderstood. What I meant earlier wasn’t apologizing to that person.” Richard said.

“So, what do you want!” Dharia yelled in frustration.

Elvan’s laughter interrupted their conversation, “You don’t want to apologizing? Then what do you want? Want to lick my shoes like a dog? Come here, come here, I’ll give you my shoes. Lick them clean so you won’t divorce Dharia!”

Once again, everyone laughed at Winston’s mockery. They all thought the same thing, Richard couldn’t possibly divorce Dharia. That man couldn’t survive on his own. If he were kicked out of the Nelsons Family, Richard would surely die of starvation on the streets.

As everyone waited for Richard to lick Winston’s shoe, the man suddenly shook his head.

What Richard did next left everyone stunned. From Dharia, who looked at him in disgust, to Winston and everyone who had belittled him…

    “Rosalinde, 28 years ago, Dad lost Mom because he was only thinking about power and caused her to be killed by someone. Since then, Dad decided not to interfere with anything anymore.”“We are in a remote place like this now because Dad doesn’t want you to have even the slightest chance of getting hurt.”“Even by sending you to Myrcathia country and making you rulers there so that you are completely removed from the people from back then.”“Dad just wants to see you all safe and live peacefully. Titles, power, thrones—none of that matters anymore.”“The Dwayne family is not as simple as it seems from the outside. Behind them, they have terrifying people who help them.”“Even though those people never show up and reveal themselves, if they are in danger, they will definitely not just stand by! Dad is getting old, I don’t know how long I can protect you all.”“Dad is really scared that if you interfere with this gamble, then one day when Dad is no longer here, what will happen to you?”

    Today, the atmosphere in the D’Velaris family also felt tense.“Rosalinde, Dad is right in front of the door. We need to find a way to get out of here as quickly as possible because tomorrow is already the 20th! I’ve seen the match announcement, and the Dwayne family has already gathered a lot of people to help them.”“Running away isn’t the best idea because based on Dad’s abilities, we’ll definitely be caught before we can make it out the entrance. The four of us together aren’t a match for His either.”“What should we do! I’m so frustrated! I’m worried about Richard if he can’t hold on. If we convince Dad to give us the medicine now, is it still too late?” asked Rivelle anxiously, pacing back and forth.The main medicine was in Deliza’s hands. If that woman were just an ordinary government official, they would have dared to act from the beginning.But the problem is that she comes from a prestigious and very powerful family! It doesn’t stop there; Deliza also possesses very high ab

  • Chapter 828: Aurora’s Presence!  

    Anneli thought again about Aurora’s current situation. Imagining it made her feel even happier and overjoyed in her heart.“Brother, I have indeed found my sister.”“Where is she? Tell me quickly! Let me go find her!”The adopted child unconsciously clenched her fists, feeling both happy and vengeful toward Aurora at the same time.“Brother, if Sis Aurora is already married, would you still want to marry her?”Hearing her words, Albin responded with certainty, “No way! She can’t possibly be married. Anneli, you shouldn’t say things like that again and don’t be jealous of your sister.”“Even if your sister and I get married later, I still won’t leave you just like that. You have to obey and get along with your sister, okay?”“That’s why you need to tell me quickly where Aurora is! How is she now?” Albin asked, his face red and impatient.In the past, Aurora was also found in Grimhaven City, at the same time as now. However, at that time, the son-in-law chosen by Deliza was Richard.Tha

  • Chapter 827: Believing in Richard!  

    “You just go. After I settle matters with the Dwayne Family, I’ll come to your house and persuade Master Ravenna and the others,” said Richard firmly.Having said that, Richard didn’t even wait for a response from the head of the D’Velaris Family. He immediately turned and headed back upstairs.The sharp eyes of the D’Velaris Family head watched Richard’s back as he walked toward the upper floor. A back that appeared so strong, proud, confident—and undefeated.That man had clearly been through the darkness of the world, yet he still maintained his own light. He had been betrayed by many.But he never betrayed those who loved him. A transformation like that in life is not something that can be faked.“Sir…”Seeing the head of the D’Velaris Family staring at Richard for a long time without returning to his senses, the middle-aged man beside him quickly called out.The D’Velaris Family head snapped out of it and looked at the box in the middle-aged man’s hands.Suddenly, he turned around

  • Chapter 826: Family Visits!  

    “I remember when Hallvard was purified into a puppet, he was submerged in water filled with poison from hundreds of insects.”“Maybe, because he was purified into a puppet, even though he has regained his consciousness, he’ll still be different from an ordinary person.”“An ordinary person would die instantly after drinking poison. But since Hallvard’s body has been tempered by poison, when he drinks poison, his body actually absorbs it and converts it into strength.”If that’s the case, then in the life-or-death duel on the 20th, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the Dwayne Family… will surely die.If Richard’s guess is correct, Albin’s strength five years ago shouldn’t have reached the orange belt yet.In other words, right now, Albin should only be at red belt level. It’s just unclear what stage of red belt he’s in.“So, what if we make more poison for him?” Lyonel suggested. Richard looked at Lyonel and said, “Good... idea.”“Oh right!” Aurora! Now that Hallvard has regain

    Then, Albin said with a bitter expression on his face, “Those four old women are Richard’s masters. They aren’t good people either!”“They’ve been completely enchanted by Richard. Whatever Richard says, the Four Rulers of Drakarath city will definitely believe it.”“Actually, Richard has always been jealous because I am far better than him in every aspect. So, he has tried every way to quickly get rid of me. He didn’t hesitate to use disgusting methods!”“Miss Rosalinde, a person like Richard, who always looks for his own benefit, you should cut ties with him as soon as possible.”“He wants to use you to go against the Dwayne Family. You need to make him feel the consequences of daring to use you,” Albin added.Rosalinde, who was called ‘not a good person,’ just sneered a few times in her heart.A while ago, the Four Rulers of Drakarath city went to teach Albin a lesson, three of them went. Only Rosalinde went by herself to gather the main medicinal ingredients.So, she wasn’t with th

    Moreover, the man was the father of Rosalinde’s masters, and Richard would surely fight back.“I know clearly in my heart all the kindness that Rosalinde’s masters and the others have shown me, Sir. Besides, I’m not an ungrateful person.”“If there is nothing else, I will leave now. If you need something, just have someone pick it up at the Ashbourne family villa.”Richard was tired of speaking with the old man. After saying a few polite words, he immediately left in his car.The head of the D’Velaris family could only stare in disbelief at Richard leaving, his eyelids fluttering rapidly.The man had left... That brat had really left?That brat really didn’t care about Ravenna and the others anymore?!The middle-aged man stood beside the head of the D’Velaris family, but he didn’t dare say anything. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.After a moment, he cautiously reminded the head of the D’Velaris family, “Sir, Richard... he’s already gone.”“Do you still need to tell me?” the hea

  • Chapter 823: Head of the D’Velaris Family is Upset

    In an instant, the expression on the head of the D’Velaris Family’s face turned gloomy. Meanwhile, the reactions of Ravenna and the others were even more intense. The four of them stood up in unison and stared at Richard.“Richard.”“Are you angry?”“So, you don’t want to have anything to do with us anymore? No, is it because my father threatened you again? Did he say he was going to break your leg?”Richard briefly looked at the head of the D’Velaris Family, who appeared oppressed and hurt. After that, he quickly denied, “It’s not like that. This issue has nothing to do with your father.”“I know why you wanted me to come here. I also know that you want to help me and are worried about me. But because of that, I don’t want to involve you in my problem with the Dwayne Family!”“The Dwayne Family is indeed weak. Any strong person in Grimhaven City could take down the Dwayne Family. But no one knows what the status of the person who married his younger sister 27 years ago is.”“I believ

    “Besides that, Richard has also broken my son’s legs! I haven’t even had the chance to take revenge on him.”“Should I let go of this vengeance and just let it be? Should my son’s legs be broken for nothing?!” continued Rio, the Head of the Harkan Family.“Mr. Rio, what actually happened when you went to the Ashbourne Family’s villa?!”What had he experienced?At that moment, Rio really wanted to grab everyone’s shoulders and shout loudly that he had crossed paths with the D’Velaris Family.The top-tier giant family in Grimhaven City, and he almost died there! He almost died at the Ashbourne Family’s villa.If only he had known from the start that the D’Velaris family was behind Richard, then no matter what happened, he wouldn’t have dared to go looking for trouble with Richard.He would have been even less daring to promise Albin that he would stand with the Dwayne Family in the fight on the 20th.But, he couldn’t say any of that. Because Richard had said, they were not allowed to sa
