Javier had planned to take care of Anna quickly so he would be able to claim the reward money but now faced with the man that had dared to beat up the son of the Lopez family, he had to admit that his plans had been waylaid.

Even he didn't dare think he could take on so many armed men unscathed yet the man had done it and now that same man was standing a few meters away.

“I'm giving you a chance to walk away, assassin. Name your price and leave. I won't harm you.” Richard remarked causing Javier to click his tongue.

“And here I thought this would be a clean job. Fine then, 10 million and 3 million extra considering I won't be claiming the bounty on her head.”

“There's a bounty on her head?” Richard raised a brow earning a chuckle from Javier.

“You didn't know?”

Richard glanced at Anna and she nodded, affirming Javier's words.

“Fine then, I'll wire 15 million dollars to your account. Your mission, if you choose to accept is to hunt down all those that accepted the bounty and kill them.

    “Mother, I received your message. Did my foolish little brother get his hand chopped off?” A beautiful woman with jet black hair and a deadly air about her inquired as she stepped into an indoor sauna installed in Davina's side of the Lopez manor.“It is. Nobody came to Barracuda and humiliated our family, yet your father does nothing about it. He has grown weak, Eva, the Conqueror that I knew in my youth has lost his touch.” Davina replied while soaked in the warm waters, her expression steeped in anger.Eva clicked her tongue as she remarked. “We were always aware of this, weren't we, mother?... Isn't that why the Estebans are helping us right now?”“Have you reached out to them?”“They are willing to provide us with everything we need. Soon, the Lopez family will be in your hands, and at that tiFatherther and Grandpa dearest can leave this world for good.” “Good…”Before Davina could say more, Eva's phone rang, cutting her off.Eva took out the phone and answered, listening to the

    “Hope you have been well,” Anna remarked causing Eva to smirk.“Of course, I'm not the one that has to hide in a hole like a rat.” As the standoff between the step-siblings continued, onlookers began to murmur amongst themselves.“Wasn't it said that Ms. Anna was missing?... It sounds like she was chased out.”“Of course she was. How can an illegitimate daughter be allowed to stay in the Lopez house?”Rolling her eyes, Anna attempted to walk past her only for Eva to put a hand up, blocking her path.“What is it?” Anna asked with a raised brow.“Mind explaining what those people with guns following you are here for?... I don't recognize any of them as members of the Lopez family.”“That's because they aren't, dear sister. They are my entourage.”Eva stifled a mocking laughter as she remarked. “You?... You don't even have the money to buy clothes for yourself yet you say you got a personal entourage?... You should learn to lie better, dear sister.” “Bold of you to assume I have no mon

    “Mother, we have trouble.” Eva cried out worriedly, her earlier calm demeanor gone as she rushed to her mother's side.Seeing her so flustered was quite troubling for Davina as she inquired. “What's the problem?”“That man, Richard Smith is here.”“And so?”“Mother, you can't underestimate him at all. He has connections in high places.”“What are you talking about?” Davina inquired, her brows furrowed as she waited for Eva's explanation which quickly came.“He was the one that housed Anna before grandfather brought her back and now he is back, he has Anna with him and has even paid for an armed entourage for her.”“What?” Davina stunned by the reveal, scowled. “So that bitch has found someone to help her out of the rat hole she was in. Regardless, that fool doesn't think he can compete with us on our home turf, does he?”“I don't think so, I believe he plans on getting us to feel indebted to him.”“How do you mean?”“He plans to heal grandfather.”“What?” Davina nearly dropped the gla

    Davina glared at Anna, her eyes trained on the person who should have died several years ago if she had her way.She was like the biggest slap to her ego and until her death, Davina would never be able to sit still.The urge to charge at her and rip her head off was there and if not for a certain Mr. Smith, she might have dared to do so.Clenching her fist, Davina swore in her heart to ensure Anna's death, come what may.Not privy to Davina's thoughts, Anna remarked. “You speak about enemies so much when you happen to be the one most likely to be an enemy among us.”“Oh please shut your mouth. When elders are talking, rats aren't even supposed to show their faces.” Davina spat coldly, not at all hiding her disgust for Anna.“Is that so, Mrs. Davina?... I am quite curious to hear you say that again.” Richard calmly remarked, his eyes trained on Davina's face.Davina hesitated but ultimately chose not to repeat herself, a lingering feeling reminding her to be cautious of Richard Smith.

    “I believe I have permission to begin the process?”“... Yeah, you can begin.”“Much appreciated. And yes, I hope you won't try to put your mouth after the bet is concluded.”“You…”“As you remain silent now, remain that way even after I'm done.” Richard coldly remarked.Not even bothering to wait for a response or for David's guards to give out yet another pointless threat, he approached the bed Mr. Lopez was on with Melinda tagging along and Anna keeping her distance from Davina and Eva.***The tension in the air was palpable as Richard hovered over Mr. Lopez, utilizing his [Eyes of Truth] skill to inspect the old man's body.Meanwhile, Melinda had already begun her treatment, utilizing a special technique from the Dawson family martial archives to run checkups on Mr. Lopez's body. More than a minute passed before she raised her head to meet Richard's gaze.She shook her head, indicating that she hadn't detected anything wrong with the old man's body, either be it in his flesh, bl

    ‘No, this is impossible. There's no way, it can't be!... How did he use water to deal with the poison?... Just how?’ Davina almost lost her mind as she tried to fathom how Richard managed to cure Mr. Lopez.The thought of what would happen now caused her to grow even more terrified as she began to figure out a way out of this mess, having no idea that Eva had devices of her own.Eva, knowing fully well that the gig was up, decided to make a statement before attempting an escape.From the moment Richard had been bold enough to ask her father for permission to try healing her grandfather, Eva had experienced a nagging feeling that something was wrong which was why she had prepared for such a scenario.Pulling out the hairpin she used to hold her hair in place, she charged at Anna before anyone could even recover from their shock at seeing Mr. Lopez recover so quickly.“Die, you bitch!” She cried out as she brandished the hairpin, covering it in a thin veil of Spirit energy and swinging

    “What nonsense are you spouting now, jezebel?... You'd best explain yourself before I do something we'll both regret.” Mr. Lopez warned as he prepared to rise to his feet.Despite his words, however, Davina no longer cowered like before and even grew bold as she grinned. “Do you think you can still scare me with your empty words, old bastard?... You'd best care more for what's about to happen to your pathetic Mafia.”“You have grown bold, isn't that so?... Fine then, I'll make you realize that in this family, I am still in charge.”Mr. Lopez sprang up to his feet, acting as though he hadn't just spent several weeks in a coma, his complexion as rosy as could be as he stomped toward Davina.Just then, an explosion somewhere caused dust to fall from the roof causing Mr. Lopez to stop in his tracks, his expression cold as he glared at Davina who was grinning wickedly.“What is the meaning of this?”“Hehe, Be prepared, Lopez family, your reign over Barracuda will soon be destroyed as a new

    The entire city of Barracuda was in a state of unrest as the common folk couldn't help but worry about the battle happening in the Lopez manor.The fact that the Lopez had remained overlords for many years ensured that the people were familiar with what they were capable of.But with these new attackers?... What if they were worse?... Would they have to experience even more hardship because of this?For most, they had to hope that the Lopez family would emerge victorious else the coming weeks would end up being a trying time for all those involved.Of course that only applied to the middle and lower class in the city.For the upper class, they were eagerly eyeing the battle to find out who would come out on top.For those that were directly linked to the Lopez family, they didn't hesitate to sever those links while those that weren't, kept a neutral stance, not willing to support anyone just yet.It was a means to get ahead as long as they could quickly gain the favor of whoever would

    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.

    “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
