""But…" Richard tried to say something but the guard glared at him."Didn't you hear me?... I said our numbers are filled up so get out of here before I beat you up!" The guard threatened.Richard was just about to leave when the gates opened and a man in a fancy suit stepped out.Scrutinizing the man, Richard recalled that his name was Martin and he was the one that Maria had entrusted to serve as general manager of the Foundation project.Martin seemed to be studying him as well as his nose scrunched up in disgust. "Who is this?" "Good day Sir, this beggar is someone looking for work on the site. We already told him that there's no work and that he should leave."Martin glanced at the guard for a moment before shifting his attention back to Richard. "You want to work?" "Yes sir." Richard promptly replied, acting out his role of being a beggar quite well.Martin snorted. "Fine then, you can work here.""Thank you sir…""But you won't be paid and you'd only get one meal a day, under

[Hmmph, who cares if you're eating their money?... I'm asking if you are doing the job for the money I paid.]"Hah, Minister, you need to calm yourself. I've got everything under control. Construction firms are no longer keen on working well with Orion Corp after what I did to the ones that were in charge of the Foundation project. I'm already spreading the news to other companies as well. By the time I'm done, Orion Corp would be the problem child in the business world with no one wishing to work with them." Martin explained with a sinister grin.[Good, very good. I planned to devour Orion Corp later on but that fool Richard Smith has pushed me too far!... I'm going to make him pay for what he's done, that's a promise.]"Haha, of course, I trust you, minister. But please don't forget what you promised me."[Of course, of course. I'll surely get you an invitation to the Enclave once the Golden Circle arrives in town. Don't you worry.]"That's great, minister. You are truly amazing. Al

"Matthew, are you interested in becoming the head of this project?" Richard suddenly remarked causing the surroundings to grow silent.Matthew turned wide-eyed as he replied. "what?""You heard me, are you interested in the position?""But… are you joking with me?""I don't dare to do so. You are a good man with a good heart. I would like for you to take over the project." Richard sincerely said.Before Matthew could say anything in response, Martin cut in. "Sir, what's the meaning of this?... If this is some kind of joke, please stop it. I'm the head of this project so why are you asking if this beggar would be interested?"Richard slowly turned to regard Martin as he mouthed the words. "You're fired.""What!?" Martin could barely believe what he'd heard as he stepped back in shock.Richard snorted. "You think I don't know what you've been doing here?... Animals like you don't deserve to work under me." "What?... How can you say such things to me, sir?... I promise I won't hesitate

Xavier knew that he had to make a very good impression on the incoming new Police Commissioner of Intercity if he wanted to win against Richard.So far, he'd only wracked up losses, something that hadn't happened before and it hurt his pride greatly.Now there was no going back, he would bring Richard down one way or another, that was a promise!With renewed vigor, he called his butler over and got him to prepare numerous gifts to give the general once he arrived.After the gifts were prepared, Xavier immediately left in a convoy, rushing toward the airport for fear of getting there too late and not meeting the general.However, imagine his shock when his convoy was stopped from entering the airport when they arrived at its gates with security coming forward to stop them."What's happening?... Get those guys to move out of the way, the general is almost here!" Xavier said in annoyance.The driver replied. "Sir, they aren't allowing us to move further.""Damn it!" Xavier cursed loudly

Major General Watson regarded Richard for a moment before finally speaking up. "You are right. A half-assed apology is unacceptable."Gasps escaped the lips of all those present as they never expected Watson to be agreeable to Richard's words, after all, wasn't he ranked higher than Richard?"How can I make it up to you?" Watson inquired, ignoring the rancor about him.Richard feigned a thoughtful expression before replying. "How about you owe me a favor?... After all, I have nothing I want right now.""I see… in that case, I'll owe you a favor," Watson said."Much better. Now then, I believe the general and his wonderful family are quite exhausted from the journey so you should very much be on your way. Thankfully, I already have a ride prepared for your comfort so you don't have to worry."Just then, a few cars drove up to the group, taking the style of a convoy.Each car was luxurious with one worth more than 25 million.Watson could tell at a glance which made him look at Richard

Marcus Rashford was the owner of Raven Records. As one of the top label owners in the region, he was considered a rather big deal in the market with a few big names signed to his record label.However, he wasn't a man that was satisfied despite all he had which was why when he found out about Edith Selene, the desire to make her his was at the forefront.Unfortunately, she'd never accepted his advances and that left him annoyed.How dare she reject him even with all he had?So even though he stopped chasing her, he never let go of that desire to one day make her his woman and also a signee of his record label.This was why when Jared approached him to sell Edith and her music, Marcus accepted without hesitation.For a whooping sum of 250 million dollars, Marcus had purchased Edith and her music catalog but imagine his surprise when she was kidnapped.Due to the situation, Marcus had to keep the deal under wraps for fear of getting investigated by the police but after Edith was saved,

Richard's assertiveness caused Marcus to flare up as he bellowed. "Who do you think you are?""Hmm?" Richard raised a brow in response.Gritting his teeth, Marcus continued as he got to his feet. "You invite me to a restaurant to talk while threatening to sue me for everything I'm worth if I don't come and now that I'm here, you just decided to talk bullshit?" "Hmm." Richard's expression considerably cooled which caused Marcus's heart to skip a beat but regardless, he wasn't about to back down so easily."Do you think because you said so, I'd do as you've said and sell my record label?... Well fuck you!... I don't plan on doing anything of that sort." Silence reigned for a moment before Richard let out a slight chuckle, amused by Marcus's outburst."Sit down." Richard calmly remarked as he picked up a morsel of food and put it in his mouth.Marcus snorted. "No thank you, I'll be taking my leave."Then shifting his attention to Edith, he warned. "Since you have decided to make a mock

[8 hours prior]Ever since Richard had healed Lily, she'd stayed in the house with no opportunity to step out due to James being overly protective of her.Who could blame him though?... He was only looking out for his daughter who had nearly died.Which father wouldn't have done the same when put in his position?This was why Lily hadn't despised him despite having to remain indoors always.She knew she owed her father considering it was her carelessness that had ended up nearly taking her life.It was still annoying though considering she wished to celebrate her recovery from what should have been the end of her life.She'd tried to get a hold of Richard to visit her so she would be able to thank him for saving her but as a wealthy figure, Richard was too busy to spare time for her which was quite regretful as Lily wouldn't deny that she had a bit of a crush on him.In any case, no one else knew about her recovery with her father keeping things under wraps.However, with his departur

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
