It was an insult to his capabilities but he understood that he was viciously outmatched.

First at the Lopez manor and then, right now, Quinton had come to realize that the gulf between himself and the Reaper would never be easily breached.

“Is that it?”

“You…” Quinton quivered as he tried to back away.

“I even allow you a preemptive strike yet you still fail to get at me. Pathetic.” Richard remarked as he approached, each step sounding like a death sentence to Quinton.

Quinton's men, having wasted their ammo, pulled out knives and rushed to protect their leader from Richard, brandishing their weapons as they got close.

Richard however, reacted quickly, dodging the first swing as he grabbed the wrist of the second and then delivered a powerful blow to his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

The first tried to attack again, seeing as Richard was busy with the second, unfortunately, he forgot that Richard was hardly alone.

Melinda struck him with an iron rod, knocking him out cold whi

    Davina trembled, realizing that Anna wasn't just some weak girl.No, perhaps she'd always known but didn't want to accept it.Gritting her teeth, she chose her next words wisely before replying. “Leaving the country.” “Good. Each of you shall be sent to a different country, with a corresponding amount of money to last a little over a month if you spend wisely. Now please note that any attempts to return to this country, to engage in nefarious activities, or to do anything that would cause the Lopez family to be seen in a bad light would result in immediate punishment. Understood?”“...”“I said, understood!”“... Yeah, we understand.” Satisfied with their response, Anna shifted her attention to Quinton who instinctively backed away.“And as for you, I have already informed the Estebans of your idiotic actions. They will have to bail you out of here or might as well prepare for a very long retirement.”With those words, she turned and left with Richard and Melinda exchanging looks be

    Richard and Melinda returned to Riverdale's capital that afternoon, leaving behind the contingent of armed fighters used to rebuff Quinton's attack on the Lopez to assist Anna in maintaining peace, utilizing a private jet to ensure time wasn't wasted.Lucia, as she had mentioned, was ready at the airport to receive them, a convoy prepared to ensure they were swiftly transported to the Ramirez Manor.“How is the situation here?” Richard inquired as he settled comfortably in the limo with Melinda seated beside him and Lucia across from him.Lucia replied. “Better than expected, after what happened before you left, the other Mafias have done well to not cross their boundaries, even paying tribute to avoid getting ripped apart.”“That would be best. I'd rather avoid getting into a fight with them to ensure the stability of the situation here in the capital.”“I agree. As for the enclave holding in two days, I've already begun to make preparations. I would like to know if I would be coming

    The Lafayette family were one of the big dogs in the Golden Band and were also considered one of the richest due to the kind of businesses they dabbled in.Drugs, weapons, contraband… name it, they had it.Rumors had it that because they had deep connections in the military, Riverdale soldiers never tried to seize their goods as they seized others.It was even known that those who got into conflicts with the Lafayette would end up paying a huge price as they would suffer incessant harassment from the military until they would have no choice but to submit and apologize and even then, they would still have to pay a hefty price before being let off the hook.It was for that reason that no Mafia family apart from those on the same level as the Lafayette, dared to go against them or even dare to be in the same room with them.This was why when Richard's car got crushed, those watching couldn't help but pity him even as none were his allies.“Poor fellow, that Old dog from the Lafayette is

    Lumian Lafayette hadn't expected Richard to react so calmly to the situation.When he'd learned of Richard's survival, he intended to use this incident to gauge Richard's reaction.Did he know about the masterminds behind the attack?... And if he did, how would he react to seeing them trying to bully him mercilessly?A single word spoken out of turn would have doomed Richard to a sure attack from all members of the upper echelon.Surprisingly, he didn't react aggressively and was even calm enough to twist the sword in their direction.One wrong move and everything would go to shit and that was something Lumian needed to avoid.Even with the money he collected, Richard not only managed to get compensation for the insults and destruction of property, he got it to look like he was being magnanimous.“A dangerous opponent indeed.” Lumian thought to himself as he managed a fake smile to avoid revealing too much of what he had in mind.Meanwhile, Richard hardly cared for what the old geezer

    Many were in attendance as several began to make conversations with those they were interested in while keeping a wide berth from those they were not interested in. However, once Richard arrived, several states were sent his way as they began to ponder the depths of the young man.His heroics were enough to make many ponder if he was truly all that.Of course, not all dared to approach to test that as there was a hierarchy, and at this moment, only the upper echelons had the right to dictate his depths.Richard ignored their suggestive stares as he walked forward with Lucia beside him.She looked quite different from usual, having made herself up and worn a rather impressive gown that brought out her incredible shape.“You look wonderful tonight.” Richard complimented, earning a blush from Lucia as she found herself lost for words.“That…” Before she could articulate herself properly to offer a response, they experienced their first approach of the evening.“You must be Mr. Smith, I'

    Richard sighed before shoving Sergio aside after which he began to move in a different direction with Lucia.“You coward!... Run as much as you like but know that you will always remain a coward!”Richard finally paused in his step, Lucia's gaze on him as she seemed inclined to do whatever he wanted.Sergio grinned from ear to ear knowing he'd done well in ensuring Richard's disgrace at the party with several already looking upon Richard as a coward, instead of the deadly man the Golden Band was proclaiming him to be.What Reaper?... He was just a pathetic fool parading as a great man.As Sergio prepared to say even more slandering things, Richard turned to face him and most reasonably, took off his suit jacket and handed it to Lucia who calmly took it.Then he took off his tie which Lucia took as well, then he unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled them before finally adjusting his hairstyle.Sergio immediately realized what he wished to do and so, didn't hesitate to reach for the spirit

    If Rubio's words had done anything, it wasn't the intended effect of getting Richard to fear for his life considering he was surrounded by enemies.On the other hand, all it had done was reveal to him that things were about to get out of hand.However, it also gave him ample time to prepare for what was to be an inevitable attack from either the Estebans or the Lafayette or both.Though neither had brought in more than was allowed by the Golden Band, Richard wasn't naive enough to believe that there was no way around the rules the Golden Band had put in place.He guessed that the only reason they hadn't broken it before was because there was no need to.However, he was a new face threatening to dismantle the hierarchy already set in place for several years.It was only natural that they would view him as a threat to deal with even as they were on Golden Band property.The fact that the Golden Band was losing its control of the Mafia families wasn't helping matters as well.Regardless,

    “You are here,” Lumian muttered as he watched Marco close the distance to take a seat across from him.“Your plan failed.” Marco began harshly. “I had told you. Man that could do what Richard Smith had done wouldn't be so easy to defeat. You insisted on continuing with your little games. Now where has it led us?”“It would have worked.”“But it didn't. I'm not here to speak about what would have happened. I'm here to speak about what can happen.”“Destroying such a special specimen would be a monumental loss!”“But allowing it to grow under anyone but us would lead to losses as well. I am not willing to take that chance so though regretful, Richard Smith must die.”“Damn it.”“Why are you acting so caring now?... Hadn't you also placed a bounty on his head with the Hitmen?”“That was for capture, not killing. Richard Smith is a treasure that must be owned.”“I have heard enough of your nonsense. My men are in position. I expect to see you make a move when the time is right.”With tha

    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
