Matthew grew tense as he watched the waiter spill the drinks of Richard.The urge to scold the careless fool rose and he ended up swallowing it for fear of offending Richard.He'd already been told by his father to exercise restraint when in Richard's presence as the latter despised seeing common people get maltreated.Of course, considering the current situation, he was prepared to take the blame and apologize to Richard to prevent the situation from escalating.Just as he attempted to speak up, Steven beat him to it, lashing out like he was the one that was covered in wine."You bastard!... Can't you see where you are going?... How dare you spill your cheap wine on Mr. Smith's expensive suit?""Sir, I'm sorry, it was an honest mistake." The young man pleaded as he got on his knees."Shut up, what mistake?... You did it on purpose!... I'll have your job for this you moron!" With the escalation, several people had already been drawn over, watching the proceedings with interest.Ignor

Richard stepped out of the police station to find the place filled with reporters seeking to get a piece of the delicious scandal currently taking place.Ignoring them completely, he got to his car and quickly returned to his estate to figure out the best way to solve the problem.He knew that someone was trying to ruin his good name with this and for now, they seemed to be winning but there was no way he would allow them to enjoy this for very long.Once he got home, he first checked on Anna who seemed to have heard of the news and was just genuinely worried about him."If we can find her, maybe this whole thing will go away."Richard shook his head. "We can't just find her alone, else it would be like we were holding her hostage but after getting caught, we decided to release her.""Then?""So we have to help the police to ensure that I am absolved from all this.""I understand. But considering the cops have already searched everywhere and haven't found anything, how do you intend t

Richard soon arrived at the airport with Robert and two other officers.Upon seeing Richard's smug face, Veronica immediately scowled as she got to her feet. "What the hell do you want with me, Richard?... If you think you can do anything you want just because I made the mistake of marrying your idiotic father, then you are mistaken!... I am no longer a Smith and I am leaving this city to start a new life in a different place, away from your disgusting hands."Richard chuckled as he remarked. "If one were to see you, they'd think you wouldn't have a hand in this but I guess I misunderstood you, Veronica. I gave you a chance, hopeful that you'd see the error of your ways and turn a new leaf but I guess I was wrong. Once a bitch, always a bitch.""How dare you!" Veronica could barely restrain herself from wanting to attack Richard but knowing it wouldn't solve anything, decided to get to the root of the matter.Just then, Gerald spoke up. "What's going on, Richard?... Are you the ones t

Richard arrived at Lucien's Avenue, a place that was once touted to be a budding landmark for Intercity.Several had invested in building structures for business but the company connected with the construction had run away with the money, causing a lot of families in Intercity to fall into poverty.Currently, all that was left were a lot of uncompleted buildings which were used by homeless people and a few criminals.Richard parked close to one of the buildings but didn't immediately come down.Knowing this could be a trap, he took out the black phone and quickly selected a skill to use.[Golden Iron Body Lvl.1 Activated]Nodding in satisfaction as golden scales appeared on his skin briefly before disappearing, he quickly stepped out of the car and walked into the building.He strolled a few meters inside before pausing as a man walked out with a gun.The man's name was Vincenzo and he was Leonard's right-hand man.Just as he made to speak, even more men with guns emerged from behind

At some point, Lily's bedroom had already gotten crowded as her family members came in to watch Richard try and bring back Lily.Seconds trickled by as Richard kept his hands on Lily, utilizing his skills to heal her.He'd planned on not making a scene but judging from the circumstances, it would be difficult not to do so.Thankfully it seemed the Commissioner was already aware of the supernatural side of the word and so wouldn't try to press him for how he did it.Just then, Charles mocked. "Hah, how long will it take?... You'd best take your hands off my niece and stop wasting our time, or else…""I'm done." Richard calmly said causing Charles to turn silent.Everyone turned their attention to Lily to find that she was still stiff with no sign of waking up.They were already sorrowful and now with Richard's sudden declaration, they couldn't help but glare at him in hatred for raising their hopes.However, just as Charles was about to capitalize on this to make him suffer, Lily sneez
