Richard heard the black phone ring but didn't immediately take it out since Melinda was still embracing him with an embarrassed expression on her face.He chuckled as he extricated himself from her grasp. "What now?... Why are you embarrassed all of a sudden?" He teased.Melinda pouted as she replied. "Well…""Haha, it's fine," Richard remarked as he patted her head. "Now tell me, how much did we make from our winning?""Our?""You betted on me, correct?" "... Well.""Did you not?""Of course I did!""Good." Richard nodded in satisfaction. "So how much?""1.5 billion dollars," Melinda replied leaving Richard stunned for a moment.It seemed the realization of just how big the people at the museum were had just struck him.Was this the purchasing strength of those hidden families in the Golden Circle?They were indeed quite free with money, weren't they?Shaking his head, Richard remarked. "Alright, you share it as you wish.""Are you sure?" Melinda revealed a sly smile as she continue

The auction hall was currently filled with representatives from the hidden families within Intercity.Numbering 30 in total, the auction wasn't rowdy or packed as each attendee was placed in a reserved room.Richard and Melinda were seated in room 4 with the latter taking the time to explain how the auction works."This black card is normally used during the auction to pay.""How does it work?" Richard inquired."You transfer the amount you wish into the card and then when an object you want is shown, you bid for it by sliding the card over this card reader and inputting a number."Then pointing at a black screen hanging over the center stage, she continued. "The number would be shown over there and the highest bidder's input would be shown there.""Ah, I see." Richard nodded in understanding before asking. "So what exactly is sold at such secret auctions?"Melinda revealed a sly smile as she remarked. "You'll see."Just then, the lights in the hall dimmed just as a middle-aged man in

"Would you like to buy the Longevity pill?" Melinda inquired softly, her expression a lot less judgmental compared to earlier.Richard glanced at her. "Why?" "Well, my grandpa's birthday is coming up soon and I'd like to get him something good. I know you healed him and I don't doubt that your treatment was effective, but… the Longevity pill will ensure he lives a long and healthy life.""You must love him," Richard muttered.Melinda leaned back in her chair as she nodded. "He has treated me better than I could ever imagine. In our family, boys are considered superior but grandpa always made me feel like I was strong enough to compete with the boys.""That's because you are," Richard commented.Melinda slowly nodded. "I guess you are right. So, would you be purchasing the Longevity pill?... I believe it would be a nice gift for Grandpa.""Don't worry, you can buy it." Richard decided to leave it for Melinda to get, considering Miranda was already quite healthy and devoid of any probl

"Richard!... Richard, wait up!" Melinda cried out as she rushed to catch up with Richard, the latter taking wide strides in his quest to leave the building.When he finally reduced his pace, allowing Melinda to catch up to him, at which point, a few people had already seen her run, she grabbed his arm and dragged him to a stop."What the hell happened there?... How could you reject the offer to invest in the museum?.... Do you know how many people would want a chance to invest?"Rolling his eyes, Richard replied. "Am I the only one that didn't fall for that man's bullshit?""What are you talking about?" Melinda raised a brow in confusion.Richard sighed. "Don't you consider the reason why only big families have the guts to invest in the museum?""Why?""It's because they won't dare to screw them over, no matter what. I'm guessing families like yours, would want them to not just give out investing rights to anyone, ensuring that only the elite would do so.""Yeah…""So what happens whe

Richard fled the scene with Melinda not because he was afraid of the attackers but because he wished to ensure Melinda's safety first before anything.As he made his way deeper into the forest, Melinda soon came to a stop, her breathing uneven as she bent down to recover."Are you okay?" Richard asked.Melinda gritted her teeth as she glared at him. "Okay?... Damn it, I'm not okay!... I warned you about getting that tablet yet… now look at us. We are being hounded by gunmen!""Calm down, Melinda.""Don't tell me to calm down, Richard!... You say you are smart so why did you have to do something so dumb this time around?" Melinda was at the point of tears as she nearly fell over, completely exhausted.Richard calmly helped her, unwilling to offer a response as he understood that she was only saying such things because she was scared.So he decided to take responsibility to ensure no harm would come to them."I'm going to need you to find a safe place and hide," Richard remarked after M

Vincent was in his study at home, indulging in some personal reading when his phone rang.He promptly picked it up and answered. "Yes, Melinda?... How was the auction?"As he asked, he had a doting smile on his lips, a clear sign of his joy at speaking to his adorable granddaughter.However, his expression soon shifted as he heard what the other party had to say.By the time Melinda was done, Vincent erupted into a fury as he bellowed. "How dare that bastard come after you?... Does he think that I am so easily beaten?"[...]"Tell me where you are, I'll send our men to come and pick you up immediately!"[...]"Richard Smith is there?... Is that so?... That's good.'[...]"He should come along with you as well."[...]"He said what?"[He would like to speak with you]"Alright then, put him on the phone."***"Hello, sir," Richard remarked as he took the phone from Melinda. [Thank you, Richard. My Dawson family is eternally indebted to you for protecting our heir.]"It's my mistake so

"Father, you called for me," Mirabel remarked as she walked into her father's office in their family company.It had been a long time since he stepped into the office with Mirabel tasked to take his place but with the current situation, he was needed in the company now more than ever.His expression revealing his tiredness, he replied. "I did. Take a seat."Mirabel quickly sat down and then Diego began."Richard has agreed to come for the celebration next week. I hope everything has been prepared on your end.""Yes Father, there's no way Richard Smith will be able to escape what we have planned for him," Mirabel remarked before adding. "It's regretful that we were unable to catch him off guard with the divorce papers but it's fine, this time, we won't let him be.""That's good. Unfortunately, I had to agree to his offer to own shares in our company. The money has already been transferred and 25% of controlling shares have been sent to Maria.""It's fine, soon enough, he'd be giving us

Richard watched the news on his cell phone, a brilliant smirk on his lips as he hungered to see the looks on the Martinez's faces.They had treated him with contempt once upon a time and it was because they were rich and powerful, so he was going to ruin them and watch them suffer for their sins.He pocketed his phone as he was walking only to pause as he grew hungry.But then, taking a look at what he was wearing, he decided to pause and get something comfortable to move in before heading to a restaurant.He strolled over to a nearby store and after purchasing a t-shirt and jeans, he quickly got dressed before making his way over to Gauloises, which was a popular restaurant chain in town, only second to Jade Panda Restaurant.As he walked through the gates, he couldn't help but notice the look of contempt with which the guards regarded him.Considering he no longer utilized [Adam] and was dressed in ordinary clothes, it seemed they didn't recognize who he was.Ignoring them since th

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?... Even your aunt Tabitha who was a pow

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
