Vernon, the man-child that had been taught a lesson by Richard was considered a weakling who knew nothing but how to talk.

Compared to him, Roman felt himself a man worthy to face the Reaper in combat.

He'd been training in several martial art styles and had just recently condensed a spirit energy core and officially become a cultivator.

This boosted his confidence in facing Richard who was stated to have done so many things that bordered on fairytale.

He even pondered if maybe they'd blemished what he'd done just to make him look bigger than he was.

Regardless, Roman saw the current situation as an opportunity to prove to his father that he wasn't to be looked down on.

Knowing his father was staring in their direction, Roman grew even bolder, moving to remove Richard's palm from Ricky's wrist.

Of course, his first attempt was quickly met with failure as Ricky squirmed underneath the force exerted.

“Let go before I teach you a lesson. I am not Vernon and I'd be more than happy to humi

    Due to what he did to Roman, a few members of General Nebuchadnezzar's family were not happy to find that Richard was left unpunished.Throughout their lives, no one had ever dared to go against them for the mere fact that they were part of the family of the great General.That sufficed to ensure that whoever crossed paths with them had to do as they were told or risk getting crushed like a bug.However, since Richard's arrival, not only had he manhandled two of the general's kids, but he had done so without any consequences.Even those guests that had come for the First Flower's birthday, on hearing this couldn't help but gasp in awe.“What's going on?... Since when did the general get so soft?”“The last time someone tried something like that, he was mutilated and left to rot in jail, yet this man is still walking around like he owns the place. Just what's going on?”A few thought that they could do the same as Richard but fear of what could happen next stopped them from making the

    General Nebuchadnezzar Baylon could be considered a tyrant to all those weaker than him or those who went against him.He toyed with enemies and crushed them without mercy, ensuring that others would learn to not go against him.That was the kind of man he was.The last person who dared to disrespect him ended up as a vegetable in the hospital, never to be seen again.That was just how terrifying the general was.So imagine the shock of everyone when a mere man, a foreigner even, dared to stand in the general's presence and act so nonchalantly.Naturally, it was enough to ensure no one spoke for several seconds as they struggled to accept the reality before them.Had the general grown weak or was Richard Smith that strong?That was the question on the minds of many men as they exchanged looks, not even daring to utter a word amongst themselves for fear of getting crushed.Meanwhile, Richard utilized all he had to remain standing despite the pressure pressing down on his shoulders.A s

    Richard returned to stand with the girls once he'd handed his gift over, ignoring the stares of several in the hall with varying emotions mixed in, ranging from awe, to fear to much more.All in all, it meant one thing.No one considered Richard a joke any longer.A few had begun to accept that Richard was worthy of being taken seriously by the general.His statement that he was the owner of the only mine in the world that sold Sun Tears was enough to make several consider approaching him for business deals.The mine alone was purportedly worth more than a hundred billion and just selling a few would be enough to make a person wealthy for the next seven generations.Meanwhile, Marie was left unsure of how to proceed with her desire to make Richard pay the price for what he'd done.Not only had he managed to grab the attention and respect of everyone present, but he'd managed to ensure that both her father-in-law and mother in law whom she derived strength to bully others were now inad

    The moment the general gave the signal, Chadwick dashed forward without hesitation with Richard quickly taking a stance to meet the raging bull.Chadwick swung a fist once he was close to Richard doing the same.The inevitable collision ended in a shockwave that caught everyone off guard.Chadwick went wide-eyed for a moment as he stared at Richard who remained in place.“This… how is this possible?”“Does this mean Richard Smith is as strong as Chadwick physically?”“Does that make any sense?... Chadwick could lift a truck if he wanted yet…”As the spectators whispered amongst themselves, quite shocked by the first exchange, Chadwick suddenly grinned.“You are quite intelligent.”“Intelligence helps.” Richard calmly replied.“Good, very good, brains versus brawns, let's see what comes out on top?”With that, Chadwick unleashed a flurry of blows to catch Richard off guard but none managed to connect as Richard remained in place, not daring to move from his spot as he parried each one

    “I won't lie, the reason I summoned you to my manor was on the insistence of my daughter-in-law.” General Nebuchadnezzar began. “she wished to see the face of the man that brought down her father despite knowing about his connections with the military and in honesty, I was curious as well.” Richard remained silent, waiting for Nebuchadnezzar to get to the point with the general obliging.“Now, with everything I've seen, I believe that you are nothing like what I expected.”“And what did you expect?”“A man that bullied the weak and feared the strong. Hearing your title to be the Reaper, I thought you only got that for preying on the weak. How wrong was I?”“So what now?”“Now you get to return, either to the Golden Band or back to Zion, whichever you wish, as long as it's out of my sight.”“I see…” “However, under one condition.”“And what could that be?” Richard inquired with a raised brow.“If you choose to return to the Golden Band, that means you won't be leaving Riverdale ever

    Chadwick awoke the next day to find out about the agreement between Richard and his father Nebuchadnezzar.On hearing what was a death sentence for Mr. Smith, he left his quarters and rushed over to confront his father.“Father you cannot do this!” He exclaimed once he had arrived in his father's chambers.The general gave him a perfunctory glance before inquiring. “Do what?”“This agreement you have made with Richard is ridiculously unfair. You know for a fact he is not a Champion ranked Combatant like yourself so why make him experience such danger to prove a point?”“Prove a point?” Nebuchadnezzar muttered before glancing at the young man yet again. “Do you think your words would help to change what is to come?”“That…”“Richard Smith has dared to be arrogant in my presence. Unless he proves himself powerful enough, I will make him regret acting so unruly.”“But father he has already proved his strength. He defeated me and…”“And do you think you are a worthy means to measure stren

    No one could have ever expected such an ending.All those in the Baylon family and by extension, all of Riverdale had always known General Nebuchadnezzar to be undefeatable.Who he said he would beat, he would surely do so.It had reached a point where if the general said something along those lines, the affected party would immediately surrender for fear of getting sent to an early grave as it was well known that the general never held back in a fight.So imagine their surprise when Richard emerged from the general's final blow, relatively unscathed.Seeing him like that, it was obvious who had won the bet between the two men, and that made it even more difficult to accept.General Nebuchadnezzar, standing in the courtyard with Richard a few meters away, couldn't help but let out a guffaw as he slapped his thighs, clearly amused by the result.“You truly are a man worthy of respect!” He declared. “I would have never thought such a day would come. You are impressive, Richard Smith.”

    The next day, Richard's desire to sleep on by an unexpected call.Still drowsy, he reached for the phone on the side wardrobe and picked it up to answer.“Hello.”[Richard, you have to come back to Intercity as soon as possible]It was Mr. Vincent Dawson's voice and he didn't sound okay at all.Roused from his stupor, Richard inquired. “What's the matter?”[What else?... It's the Malcolm family. They have begun to show their true colors]“What are you talking about?”[They have unleashed their cultivators on the city, using the pretext of trying to get the city under control after what happened]“I don't understand, what happened?” Richard was left confused as he could hardly understand what was happening.[Your friend, the one you made governor has been arrested on various accounts. Though it's clear he has been framed, no one is daring enough to speak up for him]“You can't be serious, Commissioner Watson just let this happen?”[He couldn't do anything.

    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
