Richard managed to catch three bullets in one swift motion. In that instant, the surroundings suddenly went silent and still.“Crazy!”“W-What... What was that?!”Everyone stared with wide eyes, stepping back two paces. Zorric himself appeared stunned, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, almost fainting on the spot.He couldn’t believe his own eyes at what had just happened in front of him. How could Richard catch a bullet speeding towards him using only his bare hands?What the man had just done was not something an ordinary human could do. And what was most terrifying was that Richard was completely unscathed! The ability Richard had was beyond his comprehension.“Le-Leader...” The S-level soldier also looked dazed by the recent events.Richard remained silent, offering no response. Richard, who had been prepared to lose the palm of his hand, also stood motionless for a moment. His eyes shifted from the bullet to the golden gloves he was wearing, alternating his gaze betwe
“Huh? Why is it so quiet? I think I still heard gunshots and people’s screams earlier, but now it’s completely silent. Could something have happened to Richard?” Aurora started to panic and began tiptoeing and hopping slightly to peek outside through the ventilation gap.There was no one outside, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became eerily quiet and tense. “Ms. Aurora, what’s the situation outside?”Aurora furrowed her brow upon hearing Ramiro’s question. She was overwhelmed with an extraordinary sense of panic and confusion.“It seems like the fight outside has ended. I’m worried something happened to Richard.” Ramiro simply furrowed his brow, confused, and asked, “Should we go out?”“Wait a little longer, let’s wait for one more minute. If there’s still no sound or sign of anything, then we’ll go out,” Aurora replied uncertainly.Just as she finished speaking, a sound came from outside. Aurora’s heart suddenly stopped, her body tensed, becoming alert. In a silence like th
Seeing Roderick, who was so stubborn, made the two guards reluctantly agree to let him go. “You guard Mr. Roderick and exit through the back door. Take him to the main base with our car. I’ll go to the lobby and find Mr. Roderick’s grandson,” instructed the other guard.“Understood,” his companion replied, immediately moving to take Roderick out through the back door. Roderick, worried that the guards might mistakenly identify his grandson, intentionally reminded them again, “Not Reginald Dwayne. My grandson is the one who saved the S-level soldier earlier. Remember! Don’t mistake the wrong person!”The one who saved an S-level soldier? Mr. Roderick’s grandson is that capable?The guard was both surprised and excited at the same time. The reluctant feeling he had about helping the old man’s grandson was immediately replaced by an overwhelming sense of admiration. He quickly ran toward the lobby.Just as the guard arrived, he saw a familiar figure sneakily exiting and running.“Mr. R
After saying those words, Richard pulled his hand back and ran into Hellio Room without turning back. Only thirty-seven seconds remained from the current time until the bomb would explode.Seeing the back of the man disappearing from her sight made Aurora’s heart ache. Half of her soul seemed to be forcibly pulled away, leaving her feeling empty.“Richard! Richard! You have to come back! I’ll hold you to your promise to marry me! If you don’t come back, I’ll die in there with you! I won’t look for anyone else and will die right in front of you, making you feel guilty forever!” Aurora shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks.She was terrified that Richard might never appear in front of her again. But at the same time, she couldn’t bear to see an innocent baby die so easily.Her cry echoed into the lobby and lingered in Richard’s ears. His heart skipped a beat, and with clenched fists, he muttered, “I’m sorry...”Richard wasn’t sure if he would make it out of this place alive.“Help...
A slight look of anxiety appeared in the woman’s eyes. She dared not respond, fearing it might make Richard more suspicious of her.All she could do was gaze intently at the child in Richard’s arms, then say, “Nothing, nothing at all. He just comes from a regular family. I’ll contact the child’s family and ask them to come pick him up directly.” Richard squinted as he watched the woman’s back, growing farther away. He spoke to Ramiro in a voice loud enough to be heard, “Mr. Ramiro, I heard you have a private hospital, right? Take the child there immediately! I entrust him to you. Remember! Don’t let anyone have the child without my consent!” Ramiro quickly nodded, replying, “Understood! Leave it to me.” Richard was sure the woman had slowed her pace when he spoke to Ramiro earlier. It seemed like she had paid special attention to the child. When the crowd had started to disperse, Richard gave orders to his S-tier soldiers:“Follow Ramiro, and report to me directly if anything happe
“Let your poor boyfriend see what real wealth looks like. The Skyler family is not the type of people who can be taken advantage of so easily!” Wilona said, turning around and walking toward the balcony door.The Skyler family also followed her out to the balcony. A moment later, they gasped in awe as they saw what lay before them.In front of them were ninety-nine luxury cars neatly lined up in front of the Skyler residence.“My God! Wilona, your boyfriend is so rich!” her aunt exclaimed, her eyes still fixed on the luxury cars.“Why not just send a debit card? How could he send so many luxury cars! It’s just like people say, it’s better to marry into a wealthy family than to be born into one!”“Anyway, in the future, you’ll have to live and move into your husband’s house. If a husband has no money, you’ll suffer forever!” Hollie added, deliberately glancing at Richard.Aurora was irritated by her family’s remarks about Richard. She pulled on his arm, intending to leave. But her move
Aurora wasn’t the type to show kindness to anyone who had wronged her. Her sympathy was only reserved for those who treated her well. As for her family, they only cared about their own interests! Don’t expect her to be nice to any of them!***After leaving Skyler’s residence, Richard contacted Ramiro and sped quickly to the private hospital owned by the man. When he arrived, the atmosphere around the hospital was already terrifying. Several level-S soldiers lay helplessly, blood seeping all over their bodies. They struggled to stand, pressing their hands against their wounds when they saw Richard approach.“Where’s Ramiro?! Where’s the baby?!” Richard demanded, grabbing the collar of one of the soldiers.“Who are you?” the soldier asked, staring at Richard, who wasn’t wearing his face mask.Richard didn’t have time to entertain pointless questions. He gave a brief response and asked again, “I’m the one helping Ramiro. What happened? Where’s the baby?”“It was taken by a group dressed
When the baby’s extended family arrived at the headquarters, Richard was not there. He was busy accompanying Aurora, who was looking for jewelry and a wedding ring.While Aurora was browsing the jewelry, she suddenly bumped into Sabella, her elementary school classmate.“Aurora, is that really you? What are you doing here?” asked Sabella, surprised to see her friend. “Are you looking at rings, Aurora? Are you planning to get married?” she asked again.Aurora smiled shyly and replied, “Yes, once my grandpa returns from his business trip, I’ll start discussing it with him. Right now, I’m preparing a few things before having a deeper conversation with my grandpa.”“You know, I don’t have many friends here. If you’d like, would you be one of my bridesmaids at the wedding?”Although Sabella was known to have a rather arrogant personality, she was always kind to Aurora. Hearing Aurora’s request, Sabella nodded happily. “Of course! I thought you’d forgotten about me!” “But Aurora, I heard
