Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 159
Lyra didn't want to say anything at first to Richard about her personal life but with what just happened, she found herself unable to hold it in any longer so she told him.“My mother is dead.”“... I'm sorry for your loss,” Richard remarked, having not expected such sad news.Lyra managed a sad smile as she replied. “It's fine. Even though she'd suffered for most of her life, I'm glad she died happy.”“That's good.”“But her death brought with it certain changes, one of which I'm still struggling with right now.”“Tell me.”“I guess you don't know this but… I'm a sickle cell patient. I'm prone to illness and it's difficult to get things done as my body easily breaks down. This is why I haven't been able to assimilate the family's legacy of martial arts.“From a young age, I was already touted as a disgrace since I wouldn't be able to live long enough to take over the family business. My dad, disappointed as he was, did what all men would and abandoned my mother to marry another woman

It didn't surprise Richard at all when Yakob said the patent wasn't for sale.He already knew that this was the case.The deal between Yakob and Milton wasn't to buy the patent but to share the profits from utilizing the patent for their benefit.It was a disgusting act by a man who didn't care one bit about the poor girl he'd be cheating if he went ahead with his plans.But now, Richard had sunk his teeth in, and no matter what, there was no way he'd lose.Meanwhile, Yakob felt insulted seeing Richard laugh so mockingly.After a few seconds, he inquired. “Did I say something funny, Mr. Smith?”“Of course you did. You must be a clown Mr. Yakob, considering what you said.”Gritting his teeth, Yakob questioned. “And how am I a clown?”“Oh come on, you were just speaking about the patent and how you intend to share profits with Mr. Milton which means you don't plan to sell, only to cheat Lyra. I never knew Circle members were so despicable to their own family. Makes me wonder if there's a

Lyra stared at Richard, unable to understand what he meant by his words.“What do you mean by that?” Lyra inquired.“Exactly as I said. Do you wish to change your fate, Lyra?” “That… it's not possible, Richard. My sickly status isn't something that can be fixed. We've tried but the Alchemists we went to all said the same thing, there's no stopping this.”Richard snorted. “As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing impossible as long as we keep pushing. So I ask again; do you wish to change your fate?”Lyra blinked a few times, still unable to come to terms with Richard's bold statement.Soon after, she slowly nodded. “I want to. More than anything else.”“Then give me your hand,” Richard remarked as he put out his hand.Lyra hesitated but ultimately placed her hand in his own since she had no other choice.If there was even a little chance that her sickly state would disappear, why shouldn't she take it?She'd suffered enough already… it was time to take a stand.And almost like fate h

“It would seem I won't be joining your ranks then.” Richard calmly remarked causing the elders in the chamber to frown.“Why do you say so?” One of them asked.Richard flashed a smile as he replied. “Because I see no benefits for me.”“You arrogant fool, do you think you can just come in here and say whatever you wish?.... Joining The Golden Circle is the greatest privilege any wealthy clan in Zion Empire would have the honor of obtaining, yet you dare say there are no benefits for you?... Do you not know how much low we have to go to accept you into our ranks?”“That's why I say there's no need. There's no need for you to lower your standards and there's no need for me to marry into any of your families to join. You see, I see no reason why I should join an organization that acts so stuck up with most of their members capable of cheating their own family if it were to gain some benefits.”“You bastard!... Do you think you are worthy to utter such words?”Richard chuckled. “Regardless

Richard immediately took off once the car completed the transformation with Lyra stunned by what had just happened.“What did you do?”“You come from a mystical world and you are asking that?”“Well, I've seen healers and combatants, but never someone change the actual structure of a car!” Ignoring her shock, Richard focused on the road ahead, intent on losing the attackers on their tail.He didn't wish to clash with them due to Lyra's presence.She could potentially get hurt and that wasn't something he wished to happen so even if it would be annoying, he had to focus on escaping instead of fighting.Of course that didn't mean he intended to remain passive as he took out the black phone and immediately inputted some commands which the black phone executed instantly.Unfortunately, the attackers weren't about to let him go as they pulled out weapons and opened fire on his car.Thankfully the car Richard was driving was upgraded so the bullets bounced off though the noise was enough t

Richard woke up the next morning to an unexpected call from an unexpected number.It seemed become a routine now to be woken up by calls.“Hello.”[Richard Smith, I must say you put it quite the show yesterday. I was beyond impressed.]“I had a guess you were one of those that wished to bring me into the Circle, Mr. Dawson.”Vincent scoffed on the other end. [What do you think of me?... I specifically told you to stay away, so why would I want to invite you in now?]“Well the whole idea about marrying a daughter sounded like the kind of thing you'd come up with.”[Don't slander me so shamelessly boy!]“I tell no lies.”[Hmmph, regardless, you have to be careful going forward, Richard. Though your actions were warranted, the Golden Circle isn't an organization to be trifled with. We may be a branch but that does nothing to reduce how lethal they can be when pushed]“I couldn't show weakness, even if I knew that they were dangerous. You know, Vincent, just how badly it would have turned

“Sir, it's Arturo. Can I come in?” Arturo remarked from outside the bedroom.Richard promptly replied, “Of course, do come in.”“Alright.” Arturo stepped in and closed the door behind him before turning to face Richard.“Sir.”“I presume you have decided since you came to see me.”“Indeed I have sir. I was hesitant yesterday because I was worried about my men but they managed to make me understand that there was no reason to worry. You, sir, have managed to perform miracles time and again so far. We believe it would be an honor to accompany you on this journey to the peak.” Arturo said.Richard nodded, feeling rather satisfied. “That's good. I'm glad you decided to join me. I was worried I'd have to look for someone else that's as trustworthy as you.”“Thank you, sir.”“It's not a compliment, it's the truth.” Richard simply said before adding. “Anyway, since you and your men are on board, I believe that there should be some changes coming up. Equipment, weaponry, tactics… everything

Richard prepared to head over to the gym to get some exercise only for Maria to call him up just as he was done bathing.“Yeah, Maria?”[Sir, we have a problem.]“Maria, I feel like whenever you call me now, I should be expecting some form of bad news.”[Ah, sir, it's not like that. It's just…]“Don't worry, I'm just kidding,” Richard remarked with a chuckle.[Ah, sir.]“Alright, tell me, what's wrong?”[It's the proposed estate you asked to be built to accommodate the employees. The leader of the project informed me this morning that there was a slight hiccup and asked for assistance]“Is work still ongoing?”[Yes, but he says he might have to stop the work based on what's happening over there]“Hah, fine, I'll get there and see what the problem is.”[Thank you, sir]“It's the least I can do. Ah yes, help me draw up a plan for a security company. We would soon be having a subsidiary joining us. I'll forward you the benefits I've got planned for them and other needed details as well.”

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?...

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
