Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 164
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.”

Thomas Wayne was an ambitious man in Intercity.He was a man who could never be satisfied, always seeking to go higher, irrespective of who had to suffer for his goals.A man who cared for nothing more than benefits, it was like a blessing when First City Bank came completely under his control and this was because of Richard's act of putting away several of his competitors.Unlike the others, Thomas didn't dare to leave evidence of his misdeeds and so to outsiders, he seemed clean but Richard could tell at a glance that he was not.He claimed to be an investor but all the companies he'd ever invested in always ended up becoming his, with the owners mysteriously dying or losing out of their own company.Richard couldn't be sure if it were a supernatural attack or a natural one but he could tell that Thomas was dangerous.Perhaps this would be his first hurdle after the realization of how dangerous the world is but Richard wasn't one to be caught off guard.He prepared and was ready for

Bruce glanced at Richard for a moment before bursting into laughter.Hunched over, he remarked. “You think you can beat me?... Are you a fool?” “It wouldn't be much of a competition if I didn't think that.” Richard calmly replied.Bruce sneered. “You have no sense to know your place. You may have done a few things here in this city but know that I've been around, I am known around the country compared to you who's acting like some local champion. Out there, you'd be nothing but a frog in a well, so you'd best know when to stay within your limits.”“Regardless, what happens if I win?” Richard pressed causing Bruce's expression to distort.“Fine then, since you won't listen, I'd be more than happy to entertain you. If you, by some miracle manage to beat me, then I'll do what I said you'd do if I win, happy now?”“Very,” Richard replied.Snorting derisively, Bruce got into his car and started the engine before glancing at Richard. “Aren't you getting in?”“Sure thing.”“Don't tell me yo

“You'd better watch your tongue, Mr. Smith!” Bruce bellowed angrily only to pipe down as Richard glared at him.“Or else what?”Bruce didn't dare to say anything more as he didn't want to admit it but he was terrified of Richard.Bruce had watched the clips from the terrorist attack and could quickly tell that Richard wasn't an ordinary man.He'd thought that he could use his superior skills in racing to beat Richard but now that it was clear Richard was better than him, he had nothing to use.Feeling humiliated, Bruce didn't dare utter another word with Richard snorting derisively at his silence.Glancing at Thomas, Richard remarked. “You were the one that pushed an agenda and now that it doesn't work for you, you would change it?... Regardless, I don't care much. It's not like I expected much from the Wayne family.”“You are overstepping a boundary, Mr. Smith.”“I could care less about that. Now, how about we get to the real reason I'm here?”“Hmm.”“Your act of seizing lands I'd al

It didn't take long before Maria sent the list over with Richard quickly perusing its contents.The remaining investors for First City Bank were mostly foreign because the local ones were behind bars for one crime or the other which didn't surprise Richard at all.Birds of a feather flock together, after all.Regardless, he immediately reached out to each investor and after an extensive process, managed to get them to pause investments entering First City Bank on the condition that Richard would bring proof of fraud and embezzlement occurring in the bank.The first part was done, now it was time for the second.***Zach had seen it all, from people getting cheated out of their money to his superiors enjoying stealing what wasn't theirs to begin with.He'd initially thought that First City Bank was the place to be, which was why after his studies abroad, he'd returned to Intercity to apply for a position.Having studied Business Administration, he was quickly employed and the benefits

Richard spent the rest of the day in Serenity, tending to issues that Maria would normally handle.He'd already intended to find people to help Maria out after all, Orion Corp would only keep getting bigger.One person wouldn't be able to handle everything and Richard wasn't about to allow Maria to get sick because of stress.So it was best to get helpers as soon as possible.Meanwhile, he had already assigned a few security men from the ones in his estate to head over to Zach's house and get his family to a safe place, preferably his own home so it would be easier to protect them.Now, all Richard had to do was wait for the evening so he could take care of the mission the black phone had given him.After a long day, the time for closing soon arrived and Richard immediately took his leave.As was mentioned, the black phone sent the address and it happened to be the location of a popular school back in the day.He drove over to the abandoned side of Intercity also known as Abbadon Dist

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
