"How dare you say something so presumptuous!" Matthew bellowed in anger as he stepped forward.

"Who do you think you are to dare have intentions towards a daughter of the Dawson family?... Do you think you are worthy?...a nameless bastard like you?... You'd best retract your words right now lest I cut off your tongue and feed them to the dogs."

Richard remained unmoved as he spared the former a perfunctory glance before promptly looking away, further infuriating Matthew.

"You bastard!"

Melinda quickly spoke up. "That's enough Matthew. The man you are insulting saved Grandfather."

"And because of that, he decided to have the swan while only being a disgusting frog. He is not worthy!... If he wishes, we would gift him money, after all, that's all he has to offer."

"Matthew!"

"Am I wrong?... Richard Smith is a nameless fool who has no business being here. I believe he is trying to use you to gain access to Rosario so he can take it from us."

Just as others began to comment, all pointing

    Taking the opportunity as everyone was mocking Richard, Matthew remarked. "You see the fool that dares to think he is worthy of your hand, Melinda?... He doesn't even know the difference between a mere piece of gold and a spirit stone. Just kick that fool out already.""You…" Melinda trembled but she knew that something was wrong.The stone in Richard's hand looked like gold and he must have known this, so why had he brought it out?She couldn't understand what was happening even as Richard insisted."Please, just appraise it. It's not what you think." He seemed sure of himself which further annoyed Murphy."Do you think I don't know what I'm saying?... I am a world-renowned appraiser and you think I won't be able to recognize gold from a mile away?... Please respect yourself and get out of here. I don't understand what Vincent sees in you." Murphy berated.However, Richard stood his ground. "I still ask that you appraise it.""You…""Damn it, stop embarrassing this family already."

    Richard had a smug grin on his lips as he inquired. "Are you worried?" "Why shouldn't I be?... Because of you, I had to go against the Young family. Do you think they won't try to retaliate?" Vincent retorted."But you still did it and let's not act like you did it for me," Richard remarked before taking out the Sun Tears once again. "It's because of this, right?... This is the reason you went against the Young family.""..." Vincent remained silent as it was clear that Richard wasn't going to be taking the blame he wished to serve him.Chuckling lightly, Richard continued. "I doubt the Young family would be able to do much damage to your company as is so let's focus on the main issue; the Sun Tears.""How are we splitting it?""We aren't." Richard calmly replied causing Vincent to pause."What do you mean?"Richard sighed. "That we aren't sharing the profit. But considering you'd help me with a Black card and avenue to sell the Tears in the National Museum, then I'd be willing to ha

    "..." Vanessa remained silent as she stared at Donald.Donald was a branch manager for First City Bank and he had come on the behest of his superiors to buy off Keystone Bank and turn into another Branch under First City.Naturally, the amount they were willing to pay was a pittance compared to Keystone's true worth but they didn't think they would be rejected.Unfortunately for them, they underestimated Vanessa's will because despite being broke, she had rejected their offer 6 times.This was the seventh and if she didn't agree, Donald had been advised to utilize 'other' means to convince her."You are silent, Ms. Leroy," Donald remarked.Vanessa took a deep breath before replying in a rather aggressive tone. "I have told you several times before now, Mr. Donald. Keystone would be sold over my dead body!" "Don't make such statements, you don't know if it might just happen," Donald growled in response.He hated that Vanessa was so stubborn.She'd insulted him several times already an

    Vanessa returned to her house and freshened up before moving to the sitting room to drink her sorrows away.It was almost a daily routine now, to get back from work and drown herself in alcohol.As she began to doze off, a knock at the door roused her from her slumber and then the second got her to her feet."Who's there?" She asked groggily as she walked over to the door and opened it only to find a familiar face standing outside.But then her expression crumpled and she had to rub her eyes to ensure she was seeing properly."Hello, Ms. Leroy. Can I come in?" Richard inquired with a smile.Then it dawned on Vanessa; Mr. Smith, the youngest billionaire in Intercity was actually at her doorstep!It took everything within her not to faint as she staggered back before Richard moved to keep her stable."You… why are you here?" She inquired, unable to make sense of what was happening.Richard grinned. "I'd like to buy your bank."Vanessa sobered up immediately."You what?""I want to purch

    "Do you have to go?" Anna inquired as she held Richard's hand.He'd visited her to check on her condition before leaving for Diego's birthday party.Richard replied. "I have to go. This is the night where everything ends, so don't worry.""But… they could do something to you, you know?... They could kidnap you and… I'm worried." Anna remarked, her body trembling as she recalled the events of that fateful night.Richard placed her palm over hers as he assured her. "I promise, nothing will happen to me. So just stay here and get some rest. When I get back, I'll tell you all about the party. We are getting our revenge tonight, Anna. I promise you that.""Alright. Please be careful."Planting a kiss on her forehead, Richard got to his feet and promptly left, of course not before informing the guards and maids that they should take good care of Anna.Richard drove out of the compound and got to the Dawson estate where he picked Melinda as she'd expressed a desire to come along which he acc

    "Oh my gosh, the rumors are true.""Richard Smith owns a mine filled with Suns Tears.""Wait, what's Sun Tears?""Huh, have you been under a rock?... It's a mineral even more valuable than diamonds and Spirit stones. One ingot is worth 20 billion dollars.""But doesn't that look like gold?""Shut your mouth, what do you know?... That's Sun Tears. A world-renowned appraiser had made the mistake as well and till now, he is trying to make amends.""But isn't this Richard Smith too rich?... How can he give away 20 billion dollars so easily?"As more people in the audience gave their two cents about the situation, Diego found himself at a crossroads.He couldn't outrightly reject Richard's gift else he'd be called ungrateful and that would further smear his family name.Also, he couldn't accept it in a similar vein else it would cement the fact that the accounts of the Martinez family were in the red.Of course, the accounts were in the red but they didn't have to know that!He gritted his

    Mirabel was livid as she returned to her room, tossing things around while screaming at the top of her lungs.Had she ever been so humiliated in her life before tonight?... Of course not!She'd always been the one to dish out humiliations but today, Richard Smith dared to do so with the help of that bitch, Melinda Dawson.Who did she think she was?Richard belonged to her!No one else deserved him!The servants who heard the ruckus in the hallway didn't dare to come in for fear of becoming the target of Melinda's fury.Meanwhile, Melinda finally stopped destroying stuff as she decided that there was no need to worry.By the end of tonight, Richard would have two options; either to get back together with her or risk losing his life.There was no way she'd allow him to enjoy all that money alone.It belonged to her!So, she put her plan into action.Taking up her cell phone, she promptly dialed a number.***Anna was in her room asleep after she'd had dinner.Her maid had added somethin

    "Sir, I've already sent out my men to find her, I'm sure we'll find her as soon as possible," Arturo said but his words didn't do anything to calm Richard down.He was well aware that Diego and Mirabel had a hand in Anna's kidnapping.It was embarrassing to say but he hadn't expected them to go after Anna.Completely engrossed in his desire to humiliate the Martinez, he'd forgotten to ensure there would be no reason for worry, he had slipped up and he had to make amends.Unfortunately, he knew Arturo wouldn't be able to find Anna, after all, Mirabel was a crafty little bastard.There was no way she'd be easily found.So he had to do it himself.Just as he was preparing to get out his black phone to get Anna's location, he got a call on his smartphone.He promptly answered. "Hello, who is this?"[Hello, Mr. Smith. You are speaking with Alpha]"Alpha?... Who are you?"[I currently have Ms. Anna with me. Would you like to hear her?]Then the voice changed and Richard heard Anna's voice.

    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.
