Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 231
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

Vir Enterprises is one of the biggest consulting firms in the world.Having consulted for some of the most powerful companies in the world, they had established themselves as a powerhouse and so, those that worked for them considered themselves the best of the best.Established by the Ramirez family, it was currently no longer a privately owned company and was instead headed by a board of directors with the Ramirez family holding a fair portion of the company out of respect for their founder.Jerome had always been happy that he managed to get into such an establishment.It was a testament to his years of hard work and he felt that as long as he kept pushing, he would one day be at the top.Unfortunately, it was not to be so and he lost out on everything and ended up deported as a result.Perhaps, due to feeling nervous about the inevitable meeting, he was unable to sleep the whole night, tossing and turning while looking for something to get his mind off things.At the end of the nig

“I'd say nice to meet you but I can't lie, so I'll get straight to the point and ask, what the hell are you doing here, Jerome?”Jerome hesitated, unsure of how to respond as he knew that a wrong word would be used to rip him apart.Cecelia was good at that, picking apart the statements of others and utilizing that to bring them down completely.He hated her for framing him but he had to acknowledge her skills.“Hello, I asked a question, Jerome, or are you suddenly dumb?”Jerome took a deep breath as he replied. “I have important work, that's all I can say.”“Hah, you, important work?... Do you plan on violating an unsuspecting woman again?”“You know I did nothing wrong!” Jerome exploded.Cecelia smirked as she knew that was his weakness. “Tell it to the cops, now you'd best leave before I inform them of your presence. I mean, how were you able to reenter the city after you were deported?”Jerome bit his teeth, hesitant to respond.He'd known he was a fugitive considering the circum

Lucia was helped down from the car by her guards, her gaze sweeping the premises before ultimately landing on the trio standing at the entrance.Her gaze remained on one in particular, the latter of which was a man dressed quite casually, revealing no intent of having wished to wear a suit or something more corporate.That was her target. That was the man that had given her the shock of her life.Taking a deep breath even as her heartbeat increased, she slowly made her way to the trio with her guards escorting her.When she got close, the woman amongst them tried to speak.“Hello ma'am, my name is Cecelia, I'm…”A simple hand gesture rendered her silent with Lucia not even bothering to regard the man standing in the middle.Soon she was standing face to face with the mystery man who looked back in slight amusement.“Ms. Lucia.”“And you must be Mr. Smith. I expected you to be dressed more formally.”“Apologies for disappointing you then.”“On the contrary, I quite like your current a

Those responsible for ruining Jerome's name were dragged like dogs by security under the order of Lucia.She hadn't expected this to happen when she came in but to appease her potential ally, she knew what had to be done without hesitation.After ensuring the culprits would be dealt with according to the law, she went ahead to broadcast their confession to the entire company while also reaching out to her contacts in the force to revert the tag labeling Jerome as a deportee and a criminal.All these were achieved in the space of an hour with Richard busying himself with looking after Jerome who had broken down like a child.It was understandable after all, who wouldn't react the same way if they were in his shoes?Regardless, Jerome soon regained his composure, taking the chance to step aside to head to the bathroom to clean up while Lucia approached Richard.“He must be your brother,” Lucia commented as she stood beside Richard.“Not at all, but he once was,” Richard replied, reminis

The other family members in the sitting room consisted of two aunts, an uncle, five cousins, three of whom were grown, and a sister-in-law.With Abella at the head, they all regarded Richard and Jerome with intrigued eyes, displaying varying emotions in them.Some were negative, others were not and some others… were just downright wrong. Regardless, Abuella was the one that held Richard's attention suggesting something that Richard had grown tired of hearing.“Would you not consider my granddaughter?”Realizing he wouldn't be escape easily, Richard decided on an ambiguous approach. “No one knows what fate has in store for us, ma'am, so we can only hope and pray that fate is kind to us.”“Indeed, but that doesn't mean we cannot make our fate.”Richard nearly facepalmed with Jerome suppressing the laughter bubbling within him.Having had enough, Lucia was forced to speak up. “Grandma, Mr. Smith came over for lunch so perhaps you could let him come with me so I can settle him in before

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
