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

    Richard made eye contact with Dario with the latter staring back with clear annoyance.'So that's the one with the killing intent. Must be a trigger-happy person.’ Richard thought to himself as he tried to calm Marco. “Just take a breather, nothing will happen.”“Hah, what nothing will happen?... Don't you know who the Lopez family is?... They are the overlords of Barracuda. Do you think your meager funds would be able to stand against them?... Don't kid yourself.”“Still, calm yourself. It's no excuse to try and beat up your worker.”Just then, Dario remarked. “Bold of you imbeciles to keep on speaking while I'm here.”Marco clenched his fist as he muttered. “it would have been better if I beat her than Dario does it. She won't survive.” The terror that Marco felt was shared by all workers in the store causing Richard to accept that his words would not affect them.So he shifted his attention to the root cause.“May I help you?” Richard inquired calmly as he stepped forward to meet

    “What are you still doing here?” Melinda asked as she stared at Bianca cowering in the corner.“I…”“Just get out of here already.” Bianca didn't need a second warning before she fled with her tail between her legs, her previous demeanor all but gone.Snorting derisively, Melinda finally glanced at Richard who had returned to his seat.“You didn't have to be so harsh.”“Hmmph, the idiot just wished to cause trouble. In any case, such guys only respond to unrestrained violence, nothing else would keep them in check.”“Hah, I guess you're right.”At this point, Marco and the rest of his staff, along with Lyra, were still standing in place, shocked by the incredible display of might Richard had given them.Now they understood why he wasn't the least bit fazed when Dario first arrived.He was also a powerhouse in his own right!Marco could only feel bitter realizing he had nearly offended such a figure.Gulping nervously, he turned to face Richard.“Sir…”“I understand your situation.

    With the situation concluded Richard waited an additional three hours before he got his hands on the pendants he'd asked to be customized.Then he bought the necklaces and finally left the store with Melinda.Though Marco and the other workers had been kind enough to provide some more snacks for the wait, Richard and Melinda were famished and so, headed to a restaurant to sate their hunger.There, they were introduced to the delicate cuisine of Barracuda which consisted mostly of fish.It was a delight for both involved as they enjoyed their meals, reveling in the explosion of taste the dishes brought to them.By the time they were done, the day was mostly spent with a few hours left before night would fall upon the city.On their drive home, Richard got a call from Lucia.“Talk to me.” He remarked as he put the phone on loudspeaker.[I have spoken with the Assistant and she has tried getting across to the Lopez family to facilitate a meeting with Anna but… there's a problem]Richard'

    The situation at the bar quickly garnered the attention of clubgoers close by as they began to murmur amongst themselves.“Aren't those guys members of the Green Gang?” “I think so too. Look at the tattoos on their right arms.”“Damn, poor guy, I haven't seen him here before so which means this is his first time here. Imagine coming to have fun only to end up having your girl taken from you.” “Hah, serves him right for coming in here without some backup. Everyone knows that first-timers have to go through a sort of ritual to get them acquainted with the air in here. Next time, he'd be smart to do the right thing.”“I agree. I mean, just look at the chick he's with. She is smoking hot. I wish she could spend a night with me.” “Stop dreaming you fool!... If you want her so bad, why not go and ask the Green Gang guys for permission?... I'm sure they'd be willing to listen.”“No thank you.”As the murmurs continued, Richard found himself torn between passing by quietly and making a sce

    Judging from the King's physique, it was clear he was most likely a Combatant cultivator, which meant those who focused more on offensive skills when cultivating.He sat across from Richard and scanned him briefly before shifting his attention to Melinda.His gaze lingered on her for a moment, a lustful thought crossing his mind as it did before he returned to face Richard.“My boys told me you are a High-risk Individual. I rather doubt it so I'm here to test it out.”Before Richard could offer a response, he unleashed a powerful spiritual wave, intending to suppress him. However, his pathetic attempt at asserting dominance was met with a raised brow from Richard as he inquired.“What was that?”The King shook inwardly at the unexpected question.Was his spiritual energy so weak it was considered lesser than air by this new visitor?Now he understood why the bartender had labeled him High risk and he dared to antagonize him just now.Coughing awkwardly, the King remarked. “A rite of

    Once Richard had left, the King let out a sigh as he muttered. “Let's hope this doesn't get me into trouble with the Lopez.”Just as he got to his feet to return to what he was doing before the meeting, another door leading into the room opened and a thug rushed in holding a piece of paper.“What is it?” The King asked, rather annoyed at the fool's entrance.“Sorry, boss, but it's urgent. Alejandro has a request.”“What request?”“To search for someone.”“What?... If it's about Anna, let him know that we are doing the best we can. He would have to exercise patience.”“No, boss, it's not about the missing lady though he didn't sound quite pleased when I told him we hadn't found her yet.”“Then?” the King raised a brow.“He wants us to look for a man. The man dared to beat up some of the Lopez thugs and humiliated them in public. Alejandro wants to find the man and put him in his place… which would most likely be six feet under.”The King's frown softened as he grew curious. “Who is thi

    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?...

    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
