Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 237
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

It was a sticky situation.According to Lucia's account, her Ramirez family once was a member of the Golden Band made up of Mafia families from across the Kingdom of Riverdale.It was this connection that allowed them to create a brand that would go on to become one of the most sought-after companies in their niche.Her grandfather was a feared don at that time but her father who came after him, was not.He hated the criminal tendencies that came with being a Mafia family and after realizing just how much blood one has she'd to keep it, he decided to let it go.Of course, his family didn't support him and his brothers cursed him out for trying to doom them.Unfortunately or fortunately, Lucia's father didn't listen and went ahead to cut off ties with the Golden Band.It wouldn't be long before the Golden Band would come back for a pound of flesh.Lucia's uncle fled when the attacks began, switching sides with families that had always envied the greatness of the Ramirez family.Her fat

The phone rang once before the person on the other end picked up, her seductive voice echoing from the other end.[Well, well, if it isn't the man who saw a whole snack and decided to leave her!]“Nice to see you're doing fine, Lolita,” Richard replied.[Hmmph, I should poison you when you get back for leaving me behind]“I understand your annoyance but this isn't the time, I need your help.”[Hmm… Is everything okay?]“No, Caesar has made a move, or should I say the powerhouse behind him has made a move. I have a bounty on my head and currently have at least 30 assassins out to get me. I would handle the situation myself but certain matters need resolution.”[I had no idea this man named Caesar could be so tricky to handle. Would you like me to take him out?]“Don't. If it were so easy, I would have done so long ago, the family backing him is too powerful to offend. We need him to fall on his own. So right now, I need your help.”[What do you need?]“You said your father is an influe

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
