Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 236
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

Jerome didn't know how to feel seeing Lucia kneel before Richard, pleading for his help.Such a powerful woman was forced to her knees and it was all because she wished to ensure that what belonged to her family was returned to her.It seemed even the rich were also vulnerable when it came to familial ties.Biting down on his lower lip, Jerome thought to say something, perhaps to convince Richard to help Lucia but Richard seemed to see through his intentions as he raised a hand, silencing him before he got a chance to speak.“I'll think about it.” Richard calmly replied with Jerome pursing his lips.Lucia remained silent, pondering if his response was a good thing before ultimately nodding. “Alright. Thank you.”“You don't have to thank me. As I said, I'll think about it. If it's beneficial for me, I'll accept, if not, then I'd rather return to the empire. I already have too much to handle as is.”If Lucia reacted to his words, she did well not to show it as she got to her feet and sa

Richard had initially planned to reject Lucia's offer.Though it was harsh he knew more than anyone the dangers of stretching himself too thin.He had enemies in Intercity already, one of which was a cunning snake that would use any and every method to ensure he fell on his face.Caesar was the type of enemy that one needed undivided attention for.He had already wasted enough time helping Melinda and this was because Vincent agreed to watch and ensure Caesar did nothing untoward.Unfortunately, even that wasn't enough to stop Caesar from carrying out his dastardly plans.Which was why the thought of getting involved in another mess wasn't appealing to Richard.If the problem with Lucia could wait, then it would be for the best as it would save him the loss of a potential ally, if not, he would have to take his losses.But then again, it would seem fate had other plans for him.Standing before Mario, he couldn't help but recall his stepmom who had also sold out the Smith family.That

The drive to the Ramirez Manor was punctuated by silence as Richard focused on the road ahead while inspecting the adjoining areas for potential threats while Jerome found himself struggling inwardly.He was unsure how to feel about the whole situation.It was clear that it was their contact with Lucia that caused everything but he found himself unable to blame her completely.Should he feel bad for considering helping her?It would be the same as challenging his ideals but accepting that because of this, Richard had ended up in danger, same as him, was enough to leave him confused on how to deal with the situation going further.Meanwhile, Richard pondered possible ways in which Caesar could have managed to stretch his tentacles to the Kingdom of Riverdale.But after much thought, it became apparent that he couldn't be that powerful which left only one option. Caesar had help and it was most likely the powerful clan from the capital of the Empire.He had known sooner or later that h

Cobra fired again but Richard was prepared, using a simple sidestep to dodge the bullet which was larger than his finger.The loose bullet struck the already destroyed car they had been driving, further sending it to oblivion as its parts exploded in a flurry of flames. Meanwhile, Richard grabbed the gun muzzle and used force to bend it, effectively decommissioning the weapon of mass destruction. Shocked by Richard's display of brute strength, Cobra immediately tossed aside the sniper and attempted to take a step back to widen the distance between himself and Richard but Richard was having none of that as he moved in to capitalize on his proximity.Forming a fist, he struck Cobra only to realize that apart from wearing armor underneath his clothing, he was also covering his body with a thin veil of Spirit energy, marking Cobra out as not just an assassin, but a Cultivator assassin. Cobra formed a fist as well and struck forward, utilizing his finishing move to not give Richard a ch
