The news houses that were supposed to air the news Diego had paid them to air to humiliate Richard ended up airing something different.[Breaking news: Diego Martinez, head of Martinez Group, has been arrested today on multiple grounds of kidnapping, murder, bribery and so much more. His daughter has been similarly charged alongside four billionaires who, though their identity has been hidden, were all part of a crime syndicate known as Black Hand. Now we head to the station for some answers]"Commissioner, Commissioner!" The reporters called out as they tried to get James' attention.James, accompanied by special ops, decided to pause to answer a few questions. "Commissioner, can you please shed more light on the arrests made this morning?""This city is infested with several criminals and today, we have managed to bring down but a few of the miscreants.""Sir, we have information saying that the police had help solving the case.""Indeed." James nodded. "Mr. Richard Smith is a mode

"Good. How goes the acquisition of the properties left behind by the Black Hand?" Richard inquired as he leaned into his chair.Maria replied. "We tried to acquire them quickly but the government was faster in confiscating everything and now, they are planning on holding an auction to sell them all to the highest bidder.""Hmm." Richard pursed his lips, pondering something for a moment before nodding. "Alright then, ensure that I am informed when the auction is to take place. I have a promise I must fulfill no matter what.""Understood sir," Maria muttered, her expression betraying that she had something she wanted to say.Richard noted this as he inquired. "Is everything okay, Maria?... I noticed even when I was giving Mia her punishment, you didn't seem okay.""That…" Maria hesitated to speak, her eyes darting about for a moment before she inquired. "Sir… I can trust you, right?" "Hmm?" "Please sir, I need you to answer me.""... Of course, you can.""I'm going to tell you now, ev

Watchdog was the leader of the guards protecting Pietro's stronghold.He'd always been treated with respect with most fearing him which was why as Richard stood before him, blatantly disrespecting him, Watchdog could barely wrap his head around it."How dare you!" Watchdog bellowed.Richard sighed as he shifted his attention from Watchdog to address Maria. "Close the door please."Unsure of what to make of the situation, Maria did as she was told and closed the door with Richard doing the same before going ahead to lock it.Then, he shifted his attention back to Watchdog."You bastard!... You think I won't kill you right now!" Watchdog pulled out a gun as he spoke, his men doing the same until everyone had their guns on Richard.Richard didn't even falter as he walked up to the man, a few meters between them as he asked. "Where is Pietro?""You…"Watchdog didn't even get a chance to finish his statement as he found himself on the ground, his back suddenly aching."Ugh…" he groaned as

Pietro had never lost a game of poker in his life.He'd always cheated to ensure he got a straight flush, defeating many and then taking all they had if they dared to say anything against him.Today was supposed to be a repeat of all those other times so what was going on?How had Richard gotten a royal flush when he'd tampered with the cards in the deck?But staring at the cards placed before Richard, it was unmistakably a royal flush he had which meant only one thing."Cheater!" Pietro bellowed as he rose to his feet, his breathing uneven as he glared hatefully at Richard.Richard chuckled. "Cheat?... I did no such thing.""I thought you were an honest man yet you do such disgusting things?""Look at who's talking?... I knew your plan from the beginning, Pietro. I only entertained it to show you your place. Now, bring Maria's mother out.""How dare you!" Pietro pulled out a gun and cocked it, aiming it at Richard's head but the latter didn't move, instead, it was his men that did, a

The sitting room was enveloped in resounding silence until Daniel broke it with a burst of hearty laughter."I never would have thought I'd see such a thing again." "See what?" Richard inquired."The day a boy would threaten me so casually without knowing who I am. It is quite the novel experience."Richard snorted. "Your first mistake is calling me a boy and I don't care who you are. You can be the leader of the Yakuza for all I care. Harm Anna and I will make you pay.""..." Daniel turned silent, taking the time to meet Richard's piercing gaze.Realizing Richard was indeed serious, he nodded in understanding. "You are a tough man, no wonder my granddaughter takes such a liking to you.""Grandpa!" Anna called out with reddened cheeks."Fine then, I'll do as you've said. No harm shall come to Anna where I am taking her to."Richard didn't immediately reply, instead taking the time to read Daniel before nodding. "Alright then, I'll take your word for it.""Richard…" Anna called out so

"Mr. Smith, are the rumors true that you plan on marrying Ms. Melinda Dawson?" Melinda replied. "I won't say no but for now, let's just say that we are working things out."Amidst a series of gasps from the crowd with some commenting on how good they looked together, a reporter inquired."Mr. Smith, what do you have to say about the auction tonight?""If anything, I hope that the money spent tonight would go to greater causes than filling the pockets of corrupt officials." Richard calmly replied.Just then, Varun stepped up and introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Smith, I'm Varun Walia.""Nice to meet you," Richard remarked, trying his best to remain civil though he could sense that Varun was there to stir up trouble."I've heard a lot about you." Varun began in a mocking tone. "Mr. Smith must feel like some sort of hero considering how many cases you've been involved in. How about joining law enforcement?... I'm sure it would suit you quite well." And there it was, Richard thought, Var

"How about we start the auction with the deed to the Martinez family manor?... It is currently worth 10 billion dollars so then, do I hear an 11?" The auctioneer began in a spirited fashion.A black screen came up behind him where the values that were placed by the bidders were shown.($11 billion)($12 billion)($13 billion)($20 billion)"20 billion dollars going once, going twice… sold to Mr. Smith!"Claps erupted in the hall at the announcement with a few grumbling at losing out but regardless, the auction pushed on.After that, the shares the Martinez owned in multiple companies were placed up for auction.Once again… "Sold to Mr. Smith!" Then came their company. "Sold to Mr. Smith!"Then, they moved on to the next family properties, and even then. "Sold to Mr. Smith!"By the time they were done with the second family properties, the entire hall was drenched in silence."Did Mr. Smith just purchase the properties of both families?""But that's worth over $195 billion!" "How's

[I agree. It's the best way to go about it so we can at least save some face]"Fine then, but how are we going to split it?"[There are five of us so if we split the remaining three into five equal halves, it should be possible.]"Hah, fine then. I'll meet you all in the hall."Ending the conference call, Tony quickly left the VIP room to return to the auction hall.There was no way he'd be beaten so easily!***"Mr. Walia, you are sure this would work right!?" Jared, one of those that Tony had spoken with, inquired as he glanced at Varun seated away from him in his VIP room.He was the son of a corrupt politician who had collected numerous contracts from the capital to build affordable housing for citizens but instead of doing so, he built subpar houses and kept the rest to himself.In any case, he had sent Jared to help in purchasing the properties in the auction but so far, Jared was unable to get anything.Just as he was getting frustrated, Jared got a visit from Varun who had bee

Snorting derisively, Richard glanced at Queen Mother who was staring hatefully at him. “Due to your antiquated beliefs, you have allowed nonsense to remain, ensuring that progress is not made. Do you think that if this man rules, he would do a better job than his father?... I mean, at least the Emperor is sufficiently strong, but this fool?... Ah, well, what can I say?”Seeing as how everyone was silent, Richard continued. “My mother should have sat on that throne, she was the natural choice, but you all decided that because of her gender, she would not rule. Foolish. Too foolish. Now she lays dead, having tried her whole life to ensure that her family was safe and secure, a feeling she would have extended to everyone here had she remained.”The silence indeed deafening as no one knew what to say.The fact that Tabitha was dead was also quite shocking.“Regardless… I am here now and I plan to make changes. The first change I shall make as Crown Prince…”“You are not Crown Prince and w

Richard sat in his bedroom, already prepared for the bout that would bring everything to a natural conclusion.His expression is impassive, he sat before a mirror and wondered what he would do after he had won.It was a question he needed to answer before he could take the right to the Crown in good faith.He was no leader, so was he willing to become one all because he wished to avenge his mother?Letting out a sigh, he thought to call his beloveds only for someone to knock at his door.“Come in.” He calmly responded.Moments later, Gina entered alongside her father, Elder Wu, both of whom had their heads down as they found themselves unable to meet Richard's gaze.Seconds passed before Richard inquired. “Why are you here?”“... I… no, we are sorry, your highness. We were scared and…”“And so you decided as long as you survived, an innocent man paying the price would not be too bad.”“That…”“Sums it up nicely. If only you had stood your ground, I would have made sure you both got th

“Ahem, Princess Liliana.” An elder who could hardly control his curiosity any longer called out, drawing the attention of the first Princess. “Yes, elder?”“... Can you see me?” He inquired as it was common knowledge that the first princess had gone blind at some point as a result of her condition.Silence followed for a moment before the princess replied. “Of course, I can see you, older.”A flurry of gasps escaped the lips of everyone present as one exclaimed.“It's a miracle!”Soon enough, many more began to comment causing the hall to turn rowdy.“The princess is cured of her condition?... How is this possible?”“It makes no sense, the Princess couldn't have been healed just like that.”Just then, the Emperor erupted. “Silence!”Immediately, the hall went pin-drop quiet as everyone shifted their attention to the Emperor who had his eyes on Lily.“Are you truly cured, Liliana?” He inquired softly.Lily pursed her lips. “Yes… I am.”“But how?... Even your aunt Tabitha who was a pow

Eve could never have fathomed that Richard had anticipated her sabotage and carried out measures to make up for it.In her long life, she had never met someone who was able to match her cunning which was why even though Richard proved himself smart, she still considered herself superior.She had superior intellect, superior resources, and superior manpower and most importantly, Richard was on her home turf.There was no way he could pull a fast one on her yet here he was, doing exactly that.Her mind turned fast, trying to figure out how exactly she missed these drones but despite her efforts, she found herself pulling up repeated blanks with no end in sight.She'd made sure she destroyed all the drones after Richard had unceremoniously revealed that he had a network of drones currently spying on every portion of the capital.Of course, he hadn't said it outrightly but she had deduced it judging from what she had learned about his life so far.Which was why she had gotten her most tru

“It's not even been a week since he arrived yet he does something like this, so despicable.”“If he couldn't control himself, couldn't he have gotten a courtesan?... So cheap, utterly disgusting.”“I can't believe such a person is the Legacy. If he truly is the Legacy, he needs to have the Black Book stripped from him before he turns into a monster.”A lot of murmurs flew around amongst those Richard saw on his way to his destination, with many giving scathing remarks as they hurried past him.Whatever the first prince and Queen Mother were planning, its initial effect seemed to be quite good.They'd played an incredibly good card.Soon, he arrived at the courthouse where several elders both from the Right Hand and the Left Hands were gathered.Several looked upon Richard with scorn and absolute disgust with some even voicing their discontent.“I knew we should have never allowed him into the city. He looks like the textbook definition of a hooligan.”“To dare do such a thing and to E

Lily hadn't ever thought she'd be able to live a normal life again.From birth, she'd already been tagged as a child with little prospects and so was left to suffer alone for years.Few of her step-siblings ever showed any form of care, instead treating her as an opponent out of the race.That was the unfortunate thing.Every single member of the Royal family saw themselves as opponents to be defeated and not as a family.It was a situation born out of a desire to rule over millions.Very few were like Maverick, who didn't bother with anything and instead just tried to enjoy as much of their lives as they could.But here comes someone who has no connections to her, doing what no one else had ever deemed necessary to do.No, perhaps, she indeed had a connection to him.Hadn't he said it himself?... This was his attempt at finishing what his mother had started.Tears clouded Lily's eyes as she muttered softly. “Thank you.”Richard managed a smile as he reached out and cleaned a tear tha

The lady, having finished her heartfelt melody, took a deep breath before proceeding to empty her lungs, a look of satisfaction etched on her face.However, she soon paused with her expression shifting as she seemed to sense something, then she asked.“Who's there?” Her voice sounded hoarse, almost like it wasn't used as much as it was supposed to.Richard pondered on how best to respond before deciding to be straightforward.“My name is Richard Smith, I was attracted over by your zither playing. I must confess, it was incredible listening to you play, you are a genius.”The lady seemed to relax only for her expression to shift to curiosity as she inquired. “Smith?... You mean the man who claims to be the Legacy?”“I have been called that.”“I see, it would explain why I didn't detect you immediately. You carry a presence that despite being so immense, can be easily ignored… almost like a ghost.”Richard was unsure of how to respond and so, remarked. “Do you play this every night?”“

In a certain way, Richard had come to rely on the camouflaged drones as the best way to ensure he was never blindsided.If evidence couldn't be gotten from other sources, why not make your own?That was his understanding and so he didn't hesitate to apply it with necessary, hence the reason why he had already unleashed a good number of drones into the capital the night before.Ensuring they covered every corner of the city, nothing was happening in the capital Richard wasn't aware of.How he knew that Elder Wu wasn't doing as he had instructed and was instead meeting with his fellow Rights to discuss what he considered to be a potential disruption of the Order of the city.It seems he feared that Richard would cause chaos in his desire to get revenge.It was understandable why he would think that way but Richard was no madman and he had no desire to implicate innocents in his quest for justice for his mother.Regardless, that wasn't the point right now as he watched Prince Harry's exp

When was the last time he'd been so casually insulted that it felt like a compliment?Harry couldn't remember, perhaps because it had never happened.Those that had dared to look down on him had paid the price without question yet the man before him made him feel like that wouldn't be the case no matter what he did.Harry turned livid as he hated the fact that someone else, a nobody for that matter, would lead him to feel so wary.“How about we put that claim to the test then?” Harry inquired, unwilling to back down just like that.Richard raised a brow. “Wasn't this meant to be a party?”“Plans changed, let us compete. I believe it's a better way to decide if your words are true or you just have a big mouth, don't you agree?”“I see.”“Or perhaps, are you scared?” Harry asked in slight provocation.Richard shrugged. “Alright then, if you really wish to humiliate yourself, then sure, let's fight.”Harry snorted. “Good. We shall exchange three blows. Whoever can remain standing without
