Mr. Smith's Trillion Dollar System Chapter 98
Vincent Dawson was already privy to the situation by the time Melinda and Richard had arrived at his study, no doubt as a result of Melinda informing him over the phone."You've got yourself into quite a pickle, Richard," Vincent muttered calmly.Richard sighed. "An honest mistake but I plan to get myself out of it. You heard what Melinda asked about, yes?""Indeed I did. A martial technique that can clone would be Heaven ranked and there's no way such a thing would be for sale. The best I could get you was an illusion technique that if used appropriately should be able to get you the same results on whatever you are planning.""It would have to do I guess," Richard replied.Vincent nodded. "There's an auction, not the one with the national museum, no, it's a different one. It takes place in a market we call the Beggars sect. It's a branch of the main Beggars sect but regardless, anything can be gotten there and the auction is known to sell such things. You might have luck getting som

Mercy was one of those in the Beggars sect who was called a professional thief.She was in the service of a certain Beggar and was tasked with stealing from unsuspecting strangers.But her tactics were unlike others.She didn't outrightly steal but instead carried out an 'accident' while holding what looked like an expensive pot but was a clay pot painted quite well.Once the pot would get broken, she would claim the unsuspecting stranger a thief and demand a fee for ruining what she had bought.A simple way to get money off of people considering most would be flustered and in a bid to save face would immediately fork over the money.Naturally, seeing Richard for the first time, she saw him as a fish waiting to be caught however, unbeknownst to her, she had made quite the terrible mistake in her choice.***It reeked of a ploy and Richard wasn't about to be made fool of with one. He was hardly in the right frame of mind to tolerate nonsense from anyone, especially one who was trying

"What do you mean we can't pass?" Melinda asked in vague annoyance to the rather rude guard."Did I have water in my mouth?... Exactly what I said!... You can't pass." Richard furrowed his brows, unwilling to trade words with the annoying figure but knowing he had to."Is it because we have a brown coin?" Richard inquired. "Hmmph, so you have some common sense after all. No brown coin is allowed to go past this gate. If you want to pass, purchase a silver coin, and if you want to access the auction, purchase a gold coin.""How much are they?""Hmmph, I doubt he'd be able to afford it darling, why don't you come with me?"Richard and Melinda shifted their gazes only to find an unknown man, dressed in rather extravagant attire, approaching with a smug grin on his face.Accompanied by two women already, Richard didn't know why but he had a feeling that what was about to happen would be quite annoying to handle.***Lucien was a member of one of the hidden families within Intercity.He

The auction in the Beggars sect was unlike the previous ones Richard had been to.Those were held in extravagant halls with a lot of lighting and servants.Here, it was every man for himself.They actively pushed for violence among their guards.It was a dog-eat-dog event for lack of a better word.It wasn't unheard of for people to not bet on anything but still leave the auction with a lot of artifacts.It was in such a place that Richard walked in with Melinda.Even the guards at the door couldn't help but sneer."A lot of people always bring guards and men to ensure they aren't attacked yet this fool only brought a pretty girl. Foolish.""I doubt he would be able to survive the night.""Let's place a bet. He would return home but with nothing in his pocket.""Then I bet that he would die here tonight."As the men roared with laughter, Melinda grew tense, after all, their words held some truth.Now she regretted coming along with Richard.She might end up being a burden for him just

Richard grabbed Melinda's hand after the grenade had gone off, running down the passageway as the walls caved in due to the explosion.Throughout the run, even more bullets were fired with the thugs chasing after them.Not bothering to stop for a moment, they soon escaped the building and charged toward the entrance where no one bothered to interfere in the scuffle.It was a normal scene to them so they didn't deem it necessary to provide aid.Of course, Richard didn't bother to involve innocents in his problems and so kept running as his life depended on it.Once he got to the first gate, he did something daring, going as far as to jam the gates, keeping the thugs from gaining on him too quickly.By the time they found a way around, he'd already left the Beggars sect.Unfortunately, another problem was waiting for Richard outside.The car he'd parked was gone!Gritting his teeth, he swore to come back for reimbursement before taking Melinda to run through the woods until they arrived

Ignoring Mirabel's aggression, Richard glanced at the men standing behind her, wielding guns."Whatever she's paying you, I'll make it double. I want you to release Ms. Anna immediately." Richard remarked taking Mirabel and in extension, the thugs by surprise.Mirabel gritted her teeth. "What the hell are you trying to do?""I'll pay you each 100 million dollars to let her go and take down Mirabel," Richard remarked, ensuring he met the gaze of each man before adding subtly. "Do we have a deal?"Unbeknownst to Mirabel, Richard had utilized not only [Adam], [Golden Iron Body], and even [Healing Touch], but he'd also utilized [Silver Tongue] which was a rarely used skill of his.As long as he said the right things, people would be willing to listen to him.Thankfully, the Echo Martial Technique allowed his illusionary clone to be able to say what he wanted it to say.Unfortunately, it couldn't perform anything else apart from talking which Richard hoped wouldn't be a problem in the long

"Drop the gun, Mirabel. No need to make this worse than it already is!" Richard bellowed upon seeing Mirabel point her gun at Anna.Anna tensed up instantly, trembling as she feared for her life.Mirabel gritted her teeth. "You could have just done what I asked and no one would get hurt but you decided to flaunt my orders and now look, we are here, with everyone waiting to die.""You are a madwoman," Richard replied.Mirabel laughed out. "Maybe I am. But I won't let you humiliate me and get away with it. No way!""So what?...you want me to give you all I've worked for?" "And I won't have to put a bullet in Anna's head," Mirabel replied."Then what?... You run away?""Already have a getaway vehicle." Richard shook his head. "Even now, the Martinez family continues to disgrace themselves. You lot disgust me.""Shut up!... You don't know anything about the world!... Only those with money and power rules!... Everyone else has to follow behind them.""So you ruin good people?" "Damn it,

The news houses that were supposed to air the news Diego had paid them to air to humiliate Richard ended up airing something different.[Breaking news: Diego Martinez, head of Martinez Group, has been arrested today on multiple grounds of kidnapping, murder, bribery and so much more. His daughter has been similarly charged alongside four billionaires who, though their identity has been hidden, were all part of a crime syndicate known as Black Hand. Now we head to the station for some answers]"Commissioner, Commissioner!" The reporters called out as they tried to get James' attention.James, accompanied by special ops, decided to pause to answer a few questions. "Commissioner, can you please shed more light on the arrests made this morning?""This city is infested with several criminals and today, we have managed to bring down but a few of the miscreants.""Sir, we have information saying that the police had help solving the case.""Indeed." James nodded. "Mr. Richard Smith is a mode

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
