“After the meeting with the Assistant, the Golden Band has been silent, completely ignoring me as I've done as you instructed, taking over everything you had taken from the four Mafia families you destroyed. Currently, everything is under my Ramirez family's control and I can say without hesitation that we are currently the most powerful family in the city. The other Mafia families have to pay their respects and that's all because of you.” Lucia remarked while seated in a private room with Richard.She has set a wine bottle on the table along with two glass cups and even poured out a little for Richard to drink.At this point, one would think she was an attendant Richard had employed.“Is that why you poured so much praise on me in front of my grandmother?”“I told no lies, Mr. Smith. The Ramirez family and everything in it is yours to do as you wish as without you, we wouldn't be at the level we are at now.”“You had a hand in the growth as well. Anyway, try not to mention such thing
This wouldn't be Edith's attempt at embarking on a tour with her first stop being Riverdale.Of course, her first attempt wasn't a world tour but it didn't change the fact that she had come to Riverdale to perform.Back then, Alicia was the undisputed number 1 female artist in Riverdale with multiple deals and the likes falling on her lap.So imagine her shock when Edith began to threaten that position all because of one concert.One performance was enough to get people to fall in love with Edith's style of music which was both evocative and heart-wrenching, compared to Alicia was mostly vibes.Due to this, Alicia began to immediately plot Edith's downfall to ensure she would never take what belonged to her.At the end of the day, she ended up making up several false stories and paying people to slander Edith but even that wasn't enough as Edith never took any of their harsh words to heart and calmly responded to the stories, causing the media to love her even more.Without a choice,
As Guillermo taunted the Reaper in his mind, he didn't notice Edith stepping out of the stadium, accompanied by her PA.“Hey!” Edith suddenly yelled out, drawing attention over to her.“Oh my gosh, it's the Lady of the Lake.”“Is that really her?”“Oh my goodness, she looks even more beautiful than she did back then.”“Ms. Edith, get justice for us!... These thugs aren't allowing us to enter!”As the crowd grew agitated at Edith's presence, the same could be said about the thugs with Guillermo.“Oh wow, so this is the famed Lady of the Lake. She is even more beautiful in person.”“Now I see why that bitch Alicia was so terrified of her. Compared to this beauty, that bitch can be considered a frog.”“Hey girl, wanna spend the night with big daddy?... I promise I'll be gentle.”The thugs immediately began to comment without restraint, their eyes already ripping off the clothes Edith was wearing.Disgusted by their lustful gazes, she wanted nothing more but to pour sand in their eyes but
Satisfied with Richard's response, Edith turned and went back inside the stadium to get prepared for the concert while Richard finally shifted his attention to Guillermo.“So you enjoy bullying, don't you?” Richard inquired as he came to stand before him.Guillermo snorted. “You must have some really big balls to think you can stand before me and speak so rudely. Do you know who I am?... Do you know what I am capable of?”“Not at all. Do enlighten me.”“I am Guillermo, right hand of Don Romano Mancini, how dare you think you can come in here and try to play hero?... Are you so hungry to get into a hospital?”Richard smirked as he glanced at Lucia behind who immediately nodded like she understood.Pulling out a phone, she began to make a call.Meanwhile, the crowd around the stadium was watching the proceedings with curious gazes.“Who is that guy and why does he seem so close to the Lady of the Lake?” “Maybe he's her boyfriend?”“What?... Wait, but what if he is?... So the Lady of th
The revelation was met with a deafening silence as Richard remained in place, all eyes on him.“That… that can't be true,” Guillermo muttered softly as he instinctively tried to back away.He'd always thought that the Reaper wasn't all that, that he was only able to defeat four Mafia families in one day because he had caught them by surprise but now faced with the man, he had to admit that he was only deceiving himself.The man before him was no fluke, he was undoubtedly a powerhouse yet Guillermo had dared to look down on him.Realizing his mistake, he couldn't help but curse himself for not recognizing Mount Tai despite being so close to it.But alas, there was no medicine for regrets as he knew now that Richard would make them pay for their actions.Meanwhile, the leader of the police unit, upon realizing the situation he was in, found himself contemplating how to save himself.How much was he paid that he would risk his life for this set of hooligans?“... Will you spare us?” The
The stadium was in an uproar as those in attendance called out for the Lady of the Lake at the top of their voices.When she finally emerged, it was to the clamor of many.Dressed in a beautiful flowing white dress, Edith looked exactly like an angel with the grace needed to leave several men dreaming of spending a single moment in her presence.But despite the number of great men and dignitaries in attendance, none entered Edith's eyes as she searched for that great figure.Her eyes scanned the audience but unfortunately, she found no one.It left her feeling slightly melancholic but as a performer, the show must go on and so, without further ado, she began to sing, her angelic voice reverberating across the entire stadium.Immediately, the stadium went silent as all were drawn in by her enchanting voice that made one think of Edith as an otherworldly being.How else could one explain her voice which was able to bring peace to whoever was lucky enough to listen?Regardless, she sang
Anna was an important part of Richard's life and after listening to Richard speak about her, Melinda couldn't help but accept that without her, she wouldn't be able to lay eyes on the Richard Smith of today.Back then, Richard was broken and incapable of doing anything by himself.It was Anna who gave him the strength to move on, even giving him the drive he needed to realize that the Martinez family would never change no matter what he did.After hearing how much she had suffered at the hands of her adoptive family, Melinda grew even more sympathetic to the young lady.In any case, the conversation soon ended when they arrived at the jewelry store.***Merry Jewelry was a known brand in Riverdale.Known for dealing in gold and diamond jewelry, they were headed by the Stone Family who were said to have gold and diamond mines in the Far East.Their products were expensive and naturally not meant for the everyday man.But that didn't prevent them from making hundreds of millions as they
As the secret overlords of Barracuda City, certain members of the Lopez family didn't try to hide it as they utilized their authority wantonly.As far as they were concerned, what would happen to them?... Report to the police, report to the government… it would result in the same thing, a simple slap on the wrist.That was the result of being born into the right family.If one didn't like it, one might as well go touch grass or something.Dario grinned as he stepped into Merry with his subordinates clearing out the establishment.Now that he and his woman were around, how could ordinary citizens stay in the same place as him?As a member of the Lopez family, Dario considered himself someone deserving of priority service. It would be unacceptable to drag attention with some mundane dogs so might as well chase them out till they are done with their shopping.The manager of Merry on hearing of his appearance, immediately rushed out to greet Dario, worried that if he didn't, Dario might
