Caesar's initial plan had been to invite Vincent Dawson who would undoubtedly make Richard come in his place and the subsequent confrontation, humiliate Richard enough to garner support from the dignitaries in attendance.But how wrong was he?How could he have known that Richard was such a great spokesman?No, not just great, this was even better than what his father was capable of.A man that told not a single lie, yet managed to ensure the public supported him.Richard was the bane of the politics Caesar was conversant with.Now, he would have to face the music for daring to think he could turn the masses against Richard.“We are still waiting on a response, Mr. Caesar or are you done?”“... I have underestimated you, Richard Smith.” Was all Caesar could manage as he prevented himself from looking like a complete loser.“Quite unfortunate, I looked forward to putting you in your place.”Feeling humiliated, Caesar turned and left in a fit of rage with the party once again resuming.

It was unexpected.Seeing his best friend from high school, Richard felt nostalgic with memories of the chaotic years they spent together coming to mind, one at a time.Unfortunately, after Jerome had left the country to study abroad, they'd ended up losing contact which meant Richard ended up losing a great friend.It was unfortunate but seeing him again, it seemed like a good time to catch up though considering the somber air Jerome carried, Richard couldn't help but feel like Jerome's story wouldn't be all honey and roses.After taking the boy, who as it turned out wasn't Jerome's son but his cousin to stay with Maddie and Lolita, Richard led Jerome to a bench in the park where there was a little privacy.Purchasing two cups of coffee from a nearby coffee shop, Richard offered Jerome one which the latter took with a thanks.Letting out a sigh, Jerome sipped his coffee while gazing at where his cousin sat with Maddie and Lolita.“He looks a lot like you, I had no idea he's not your

It was clear Jemima wanted to die.Richard could see that if she was left as she was, it was doubtful she would remain till tomorrow.“Jemima, please give me a chance. I can help you.” Richard remarked with Jemima turning to stare at him.Her eyes were devoid of hope as she replied. “There's no way to help me, Richard. I don't want a temporary solution that would result in more pain and suffering. I'd rather give up, don't you agree?... Death is the only permanent solution for me now.”“Big sis!... Please don't give up, please, just don't.” Jerome cried out as Jayden could barely understand what was happening.“Mummy…” Jemima glanced at her little boy with tears in her eyes. “I'm sorry I couldn't do much for you… I'm so sorry.”Unable to take any of this any longer, Richard remarked. “Jerome, take Jayden outside.”“I…”“Just do it!”Jerome glanced at Richard and noticing the expression he held, felt compelled to do as instructed.Albeit unwilling, he left the room with Jayden, leavin

The rest of the day was spent packing up and moving back to Richard's estate after which Richard got the information about the company Jemima had worked for before she got in contact with the radioactive material.It was a sewage company and their worker conditions were downright horrible.Jemima wasn't the first person they left to die after realizing that they'd come in contact with the radioactive material.The owner didn't bother ensuring that his workers were learned enough to differentiate such things and their equipment was just a shame to look at.Knowing that closing down the company would be a waste, Richard just bought the company and then had the original owner try for extreme neglect of the workforce.Considering the company needed a revamp, Richard felt like he had his work cut out for him.Meanwhile, Jerome who was with him through all this couldn't help but gawk at Richard's capabilities.How can he just casually buy an entire company?... Is this the lifestyle of a bil

Done with handling his security affairs at home, Richard went back to his room and freshened up, before getting dressed as he intended to take Jerome with him to announce the latter as his endorsed candidate.It would be difficult considering Jerome was unknown but Richard didn't think that was an important factor since he could handle that.His worry was if Jerome would be able to stand up to Caesar when the time came for it.Richard could help in some ways but at the end of the day, Jerome would be going up against Caesar, and considering the kind of man Caesar is, he could expect some low blows.It was disconcerting, but Richard wanted to believe in his best friend and what he was capable of.But first, he had to ensure that Jerome would have no weaknesses going into the battle that was about to take place.Putting a call across to Vincent, he called in a favor, hoping that he would investigate the company that Jerome once worked for that ended up firing him on false accusations ma

Jerome couldn't even feel insulted being referred to as a nobody as that was indeed the truth.Right now, he was a nobody but that didn't put him down but made him even more willing to push the limits to reach a level where he would be considered somebody.Meanwhile, Richard was less than pleased with Commissioner Watson's reaction to his plan.“Why won't it be feasible?”Commissioner Watson sighed. “It's a brilliant plan but there are two problems; the family behind Caesar and the fact that one of the Princes shall be presiding over the elections.”“Wait what?”“Didn't I tell you?... One of the Princes would be coming from the Capital to preside over the electoral processes. I told you before, Intercity is an important city to the empire and do you think they would appreciate it if a literal nobody is placed as a figurehead of the city?”“This is troublesome. Fine then, what do I do?”“Make him a somebody.” Came the quick response.“I don't quite understand.”“If it turns out that you

[Are you prepared?] The patriarch inquired over the phone, his voice hoarse as it was threatening. “Patriarch, I know I made a mistake and…”[I don't need your useless assurances. I have done some work to ensure this… Richard Smith won't be getting much help in the battle against you. I have also made it so that one of the Princes would be presiding over the process. Make sure to impress him. For this, a substantial sum will be sent to you soon, use it well. And remember, fail me and I won't hesitate to end your entire lineage.]“.... Understood, Patriarch.” With that, the call ended and Caesar was left sweating profusely.He couldn't afford to lose again.No matter what, Intercity would be his!***The drive back to the estate was mostly silent with Jerome lost in thought while Richard made the preparations for the take off to Riverdale.Richard allowed Jerome to head back to his place to inform Jemima about the impending trip while Richard busied himself with packing up for the bo
