Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 261
Richard awoke the next morning and went about his morning routine, a series of activities he hadn't performed in a long while due to unfortunate circumstances.Regardless, once done, he called Arturo over to have a brief chat.“I plan on breaking into a secure facility soon. I need all the gadgets you'd think would be necessary to do so and more. Money isn't a problem, just get me the devices. Is that okay?” Richard inquired with Arturo nodding confidently.“Of course, sir. I'll immediately get it done. Would you like me to form a team to help in the endeavor?”“Do you think they would be trustworthy?”“I trust them with my life,” Arturo remarked.“Fine then. Get the equipment and team ready by this evening. The operation is tomorrow night and we can't afford to miss this opportunity as we might not have a second chance.”.“Understood sir. I'll immediately get started.”“Alright.”Arturo quickly left after that to make the preparations while Richard freshened up and after getting dres

After the meeting with Vincent, Richard had breakfast with him before leaving to make other preparations.Unfortunately, out of the three potions Richard wished to get, Vincent had only one which meant Richard had to find out where to get the others.He checked the Wish Store only to find that the potions were not among the things he could get at the moment.Only after increasing his level could he get access to them.This meant Richard had to figure out other places to get them, thankfully, he knew of one such place to search.It was the Beggar Sect branch located at the edge of Intercity.The last time Richard was here, he had ended up running away with Melinda to avoid getting tangled with the people who wished to kill him for taking away what they wished to purchase.Richard didn't have time to waste on fights, so he decided to disguise himself to avoid getting into conflicts with anyone.A simple in and out.After showing the guards at the entrance his coin, Richard was immediate

The party at the Malcolm Manor was the place to be for the bigwigs in Intercity.Those that weren't invited would be considered as lesser in the rankings.Politicians, Businessmen, and the like all trooped in with luxury cars, sporting luxury attires with the media specially paid to cover the event.It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as most were aware that the Malcolms hardly ever threw such public parties.Most of their celebrations were private and exclusive so this would be the first time they'd be throwing such a party.To commemorate the occasion, several brought gifts ranging from mildly expensive to incredibly expensive just to make a statement.It was obviously in a bid to get closer to the Malcolms as everyone knew that they were the most powerful family in Intercity with no equals.The fact that they had been silent recently was most likely because of the unfortunate passing of their previous heir but considering how they were now, it seemed they had decided to move pa

“Unfortunately I cannot.” Melinda decidedly said, not even mincing words as she gave her response.Gasps echoed and murmurs flew but none made her change her stance or even waver as she stood before Prince Maverick.Even Vincent was hardly surprised, after all, he knew Melinda's heart was elsewhere and she wasn't one who ever considered wealth or power when making such decisions.“I had heard you and Richard Smith are engaged. It would seem that is indeed the case.” Maverick remarked casually.“Yet you ask that I escort you?”“A test. If you weren't engaged, then lucky me, if not, one would be able to tell just how sincere you are with the arrangements. Richard Smith is indeed a lucky man.”Melinda managed a melancholic smile as she remarked. “Yeah, he is.”“Regardless, I hope we can be friends by the end of the evening. Is that alright?”“... Yes, Your Highness,” Melinda replied, deciding not to be too forceful to avoid causing the Prince to have it out for Richard.Satisfied with he

Once the party was in full swing, everyone quickly began to network, seeking the people capable of providing them with the most benefits.That was how most parties in the business world went.It was seen as an opportunity to make the next big deal or to form the next great alliance so it wasn't strange that it was happening in the Malcolm party hall as well.Most would notice that several wished to move to the VIP section as that was where the powerhouses gathered but unless invited, one would only be looking to embarrass themselves if they dared to approach.Regardless, the VIP section was also in full party mood as Marlon tried to get the prince interested in a new business deal he was working on while Chris tried to grab Melinda's attention with a series of topics though his attempt was futile at best.At this point, Richard was waiting for an opportunity to step out as under normal circumstances, no guard was to leave his patron’s side to start moving around, especially when it wa

They rushed out of the party hall, utilizing their various attributes to ensure they reached the main house on time.On their way, Richard realized that apart from cameras, there were also security guards who were cultivators, making use of broom artifacts to survey the entirety of the estate from the sky.It made him thankful that Vernon was helping since it would have been difficult to get past the flying guards without problems.Regardless, they soon arrived at the main house after almost five minutes of sprinting.Thankfully, most were cultivators so their running speed was even faster than most horses galloping.Only Arturo was human and even he had the help of Vernon so there was no problem.The vault was underneath the main house and was only accessible via an elevator which was constantly guarded by cultivators.“The Malcolm family are quite powerful to have all this.” Lolita couldn't help but comment as they looked for an opportunity to sneak into the elevator.Vernon casuall

In a certain room in the main house of the Malcolm estate sat an old man draped in sage clothing.He seemed to be meditating but soon had to end it as he noticed someone's approach.The door to his room opened and a middle-aged man entered, quickly getting on his knees in a show of respect.“Speak.”“Master, we detected traces of movements in the vault, and… it seems the vault door was opened a few minutes ago.”The old man remained silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. “It would seem we had a rude visitor. The fact they were able to get in without my knowledge and our perfect security shows that they aren't just any person but someone of great repute.”“What do we do master?... Do we tell the current head so he may search the guests?”“No, leave them. We can't do such a thing especially since an Imperial Prince is amongst the guests.”“So what do we do?”“Have you checked to see what was stolen?” The old man asked.The middle-aged man nodded. “Yes, master. The files related

Richard was awoken by the sound of his phone ringing in the wee hours of the morning.He lazily picked up the phone and checked to find that it was Vincent calling.“Hello, this better be good.”[It is. They found out]“Huh?... Who?”[Damn it, just turn on the TV and check the news. You'll understand everything.]Frowning, Richard did as instructed having known that Vincent wasn't usually so serious.Once the TV was on, he immediately understood what made the old man so tense.[Breaking news: Shocking discovery made by law enforcement. The Abbadon District fire wasn't an accident but was intentionally orchestrated and you would never have guessed it but the orchestrator is still alive and well, living with the Malcolm family as their family head. This morning, the Malcolm estate released a statement of apology saying they had no clue that Marlon was such a wicked man while also giving their word that they would not interfere in the subsequent actions to be taken against Marlon Malcolm

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
