novelxo Chapter 1: Daughter's Call for Help
"It's Maria, are you my dad Richard Thompson?"
"My mother is Catherine Smith, and my father is Richard Thompson. Dad, where are you? Please come to save Maria and mom!"
"Mom was taken away by bad guys. They even beat me. Dad, where are you? I miss you!"
"Dad, they're coming! Come save me!"
"You annoying bastard! Put down the phone!"
Slap! Someone just slapped her, and she let out a scream.
"Get someone to lock her in the pigsty. Who gave her this phone?" a roar came from the phone.
Then, the phone was wrecked and no more sound came from it.
Staring at his phone, Richard looked apprehensive, "Maria, my daughter?"
At that moment, he was standing on a large pile of bodies, covered in blood, the enemy's blood.
Here, the Mount Heaven, was the largest base of the world's most vicious assassination group the L Gang.
Now, this snow-covered mountain was dyed red.
Members of the L Gang were all annihilated. Bodies were scattered everywhere, and blood was flowing like a river.
Bodies were piled up like a hill. Richard was standing on top, with his eyes sharper than the blade and colder than snow, looking very powerful.
After he wiped out the L Gang alone, he suddenly received a call from Country X. He heard a sweet voice of a little girl. But she sounded so desolate, helpless and terrified that it broke his heart and tears misted his eyes.
He recalled his past with Catherine. So he hurried to call back. But it didn't even get through.
"Shit!"
Richard's cruelness seemed to have stopped the gale on the mountain. After he knew what had happened to his own daughter, rages burned inside him. All he wanted to do was tear the bully apart. Then there came a rumbling sound above. Twenty-eight helicopter gunships were coming.
More than 300 people came down from the helicopters, kneeling on one knee before Richard, and said in unison, "Congratulations to Lord Thompson! You have annihilated the L Gang. Your name will be known to the world!"
Richard was the head of the Northwest, which accounted one fourth of the world. He was also known as "Ares of the W Gang", the greatest king in the Northwest. Also, as the leader of the W Gang, he was unconquerable in this world.
Pierre White, the head of the Eighteen Generals of the W Gang came forth and asked, "My lord, what are we going to do next? Conquer the whole world?" Richard stood up, looking apprehensive, and lowered his voice, "Arrange to go back to Country X immediately!"
Pierre's face darkened. He asked, "But my lord, now a great opportunity is lying ahead. Since we have eradicated the L Gang, we won't have too much to worry about. It's time for us to advance into the south hemisphere and unite the world!"
Richard dropped his voice and said, "My daughter is being bullied! Compared with her, the world is nothing. I must go back to Country X right now. Arrange it!"
Hearing his words, all warriors were confused. In their eyes, Richard had always been the omnipotent king of war and calm as a mountain. But they'd never seen him worrying like this before.
He was anxious to return home.
Under Pierre's arrangement, a helicopter rose up and flew to Country X at the fastest speed.
On the plane, Richard was holding a photo. It was a young woman with great elegance and stunning beauty. Richard's eyes grew tender, and his mind travelled back to 5 years ago. "Five years ago, I had a car accident in the countryside. You carried me on your back and walked for three kilometers to send me to the hospital. It was you who gave me everything." "Later, I was plotted by a traitor and kidnapped. But by coincidence, I was sent abroad by a kind person."
"Now I'm successful, but you're being bullied, and even our daughter has to suffer."
Thinking of this, Richard felt his heart squeezed by a hand, aching sharply.
Later, he suddenly opened his eyes, which were sharp and cruel.
"Catherine, wait for me! Whoever bullies you, I shall make them pay with blood!"
***
Around six hours later, the helicopter arrived at the border. After going through a series of procedures, they entered Country X, heading straight for Evento, Heufville Province.
On the plane, Pierre came to Richard with a tablet in hand, "Mrs. Thompson did give birth to Princess Maria five years ago, but now..." He bit his tongue and looked somber. "Go ahead!" Richard said.
"Today is the day she remarries," said Pierre.
Richard's heart sank. "What do you mean?"
'Maria was caught while Catherine is remarrying?'
Pierre looked severe, "According to investigation, she's been quite close with James Miller, the young master of the Miller family. They're having a wedding today." "This man is brutal. Princess Maria has been beaten by him for many times. But Mrs. Thompson doesn't seem to care."
As he said, he handed the tablet to Richard. It was a picture of Maria.
She was injured all over. Her mouth swelled and there were many scars on her body caused by lashing, bloody and miserable.
At the sight of this photo, Richard's eyes turned red.
Bang! He was angry that he smashed a table on the plane.
His eyes were scarlet. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Give me Catherine's number." At this moment, his was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
'Maria is being bullied, but Catherine is still in love with a dandy, and even engaged with him! Dare she call herself a mother? That's insane!'
Pierre found out Catherine's number forthwith and gave it to Richard. Richard dialed it, but he heard a man's voice instead, "Hello, who's there? Cathy can't come to the phone now, she's taking a shower."
'A man?'
Richard's face darkened, and he dropped his voice, "I'm looking for Catherine Smith. Who are you?"
"I'm her husband James Miller. What's the matter? We just had sex. She's taking a shower now."
Boom! Richard felt like he was struck by lightning. He froze.
'Have sex?'
'Taking a shower?'
Hearing this, the shame of being betrayed made him breathless.
Then there came a cracking sound. The shell of his phone was squashed. The veins on his arms were clearly seen. Richard got into a towering rage. He felt like killing someone.
'She was in the mood to have sex with that asshole when our daughter is being bullied?'☐☐☐☐
