Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 029
While the journalist Taylor was working on vindicating Richard, Dan Morris had gathered his colleagues and top officials to his office, making sure to pop champagne, his most expensive one as he was in a celebratory mood, telling jokes and throwing his head back in laughter. He didn't fail to also remind them why they were celebrating and whom they were celebrating, “My son Richard? You should know him. The boy is doing great work in Dalton City. Would you believe…" his eyes shone with pride as he took a sip of his champagne and tipped his glass in the direction of his counterparts before he went on, still smiling, “Would you believe that he was instrumental in the arrest and capturing of their acting mayor, who's nothing but a corrupt fraud and has been embezzling government funds for himself? Andrew uncovered all of that!” He declared with a puff out chest, and as he spoke, he closely watched others to gauge their reactions to his disclosed information. “You don't say! You mu

Unaware of the new development, Dan was still bragging about Andrew, telling all who cared to listen how great his son was,“One would think that the son in question is the new Messiah" Donald mumbled beneath his breath, his voice barely a whisper.Dan who had heard a snippet of his words snapped his head while narrowing his eyes at Donald,“What Mr Curry? Did you say something or do you have something to say to us?" He challenged him with a thrust of his chin, and Donald cackled, his face a mix of mockery and pity,"Yes I did, in fact, I do have something to say" Donald retorted, getting into Dan's face, he glanced around before he continued,“Your son isn't the savior you have made him out to be. He's nothing but a fool who has made a mockery of himself and your family name”His words angered Dan, whose eyes had become reddened while glaring at him, with nostrils flaring, Dan shouted,“How dare you! What gives you the audacity to-”"Don't you dare yell at me. Your son is incompeten

“You bastard!" Dan screeched as soon as Harold picked up the call, causing Harold to flinch at the other end,“M-mr Morris, i-it's not what you-”"Don't you dare try to sound foolish you old fool! How dare you send me information without verifying it first?! Do you know what you have done? What you have caused?”Dan asked, throwing questions at him without waiting for Harold's response who rubbed his hand over his face sighing deeply,“I'm sorry Sir. It was a mistake on my part. I really thought we had him" Harold conceded, and Dan scoffed in response,“Well you didn't and now you've ruined my social standing!” he retorted with a sneer, before adding,“Fix it! Ensure you fix it! Do all you can to fix this mess and make sure my son comes out of this unscathed!”Dan commanded and hung the call, his cheeks still blazing. He lifted his head to see the officials still sniggering at him, and he clenched his fist,“I can assure you that I'll get to the bottom of this. I've been told it was

While Andrew was busy imagining the suffering he was sure Richard was going through; the mosquitoes sucking his blood endlessly, the filth he was living in as well as the terrible food that wasn't even fit for dogs that Richard was surely forced to eat, Vivienne was busy with the opposite,She walked into the prison with her head held high, her heels clicking on the hard floor. At her appearance, one of the wardens hurried towards her,“You're welcome back Ma'am. How can we help you?” He asked,Vivienne shrugged in response,“Just here to make sure Mayor Richard is comfortable while staying here. The arrangements we have in place doesn't seem to be enough”The warden didn't seem to understand what she meant by her words as they already had state-of-the-art facilities in place for him, something that nobody else had. The man was being treated like a king, he looked at her with a confused look,“H-how do you mean Ma? His cell is already comfortable, all of the prisoners envy him”Vivien

Aiden Cross, the owner of Eclipse Bar and the leader of the Black Vipers sat in his top-floor office, overlooking the city. He had a brooding look on his face as he stared at the computer before him and the lists that were spread across his table,He was in his early thirties and had lovely green eyes that were currently boring through the computer. He was still struggling to make ends meet; his patrons had greatly reduced, and he was finding it difficult to keep his bar afloat.Still lost in thought and feeling desolate, he grumbled, his eyes narrowing at nothing in particular,‘Damn you Richard Day’ he growled Just as Aiden was getting into his pity party, while feeling like there was no way through, Jacob barged into his office, nearly out of breath.Lifting his eyes to glare at the intruder, Aiden hissed before arching his brow at his assistant,“Tell me, do you have a knack for barging into my office, Jacob, or perhaps you have a death wish.” Scowling at him, he added, The latte

The news of the uproar anonymously caused by Aiden Cross had spread all over the country, causing great unrest and panic amongst the citizens.Andrew and Harold were seated in his office, the television was on and was blasting loudly as they watched with furrowed brows,Andrew's eyes were filled with fear and alarm as he furtively watched the news show. Every channel was currently showing the chaos at both places and to keep track, the duo was watching the news to see what they had to say.[“This is Elizabeth Clive, reporting for KTV News. I'm live at the Stoneware Marketplace, and the place is in an uproar as we speak. Behind me are vendors, patrons, and store owners who are crying over the loss of their livelihood, and goods”Harold and Andrew shared a look, and the former ran his hands through his hair, whilst Harold had a deep frown on his face. In the background, Harold's phones had been ringing incessantly and off the hook; he had turned off his personal phone but couldn't turn

He snapped his head in Harold’s direction, and then snapped it back to the TV, glaring at it, his veins were green and almost popping out, as he glared with reddened eyes,“That fucking bastard! He's like a shadow!" He swore through gritted teeth, frowning as he continued, muttering “Keeps following me everywhere I go! When will it end?!”He demanded from no one in particular, as he slammed his hands on the table again, his nostrils flaring as he huffed and puffed.This time around, Harold with bulging eyes quickly got into action, he immediately sent a message to every policeman in the city, typing furiously as he did,[Before the end of the day today, I want a full and detailed report on the investigation of the current situation! The perpetrators must be brought to book! Arrest them, they must face the full wrath of the law”Harold was also fuming in anger, his chest rising and falling as he glared at nothing in particular. His heart was racing with so many thoughts.A sudden knock

Immediately Clinton got out of Harold's office, he leaped for joy and did a victory dance, his face still beaming,Throwing his right hand in the air, he shrilled,“Yess! I did it! Finally, that seat is mine" For fear that anyone could have heard or seen him, he darted his eyes around before calming himself down and walking with his head held high.Clinton had come prepared; he took out a piece of neatly folded paper from his pocket and looked at it, smiling as he did. On the paper was a list of his suspects, and first on the list was no other person than Aiden Cross.He couldn't figure out why he had a niggling feeling that Aiden was involved; after all, he had no proof to buttress his claims, but one thing he knew for certain was that Aiden would entertain him as he did in the past. The number of times Clinton had come across Aiden, the latter had been nothing but extremely respectful and kind, even bowing to him. That alone made him feel like Aiden greatly respected him and would

(Three Years Later) "Get these files and give them to the right department," Richard ordered, passing a file to a man standing before him. "Yes sir," The man nodded and took the files from Richard. "Do you need anything?" Richard finally raised his head from what he was doing to look at the man who was still standing. "Sir, I need you to approve my leave so I can take care of my wife who's about to give birth," The man said slowly, handing over a matter to Richard. "Alright, it's approved," Richard nodded and took the letter from the man. "Thank you, sir," The man beamed happily and quickly walked out of the office. Richard sighed and sat back on the chair after the man was out. It had been three years since everything. Andrew, Cassandra, and Harold were tried and thrown into prison. Justus, Aiden, Clinton, and Robin were also thrown into prison for fraud. The citizens of Dalton City demanded that Richard come back as the Mayor of the city. After much pleas and persuasion, h

Walking out of the office, the three walked out of the mayoral office only to be greeted by about five men who were in uniforms. Seeing the men, Andrew and Harold froze and it was as though their eyes would pop out of their sockets as they stared at the men. Slowly, they began to move back as though they had seen a ghost. "Father, Andrew, what the heck is wrong with both of you?" Cassandra frowned and stopped the two who were retreating slowly. "You should also go back; they are most probably here to arrest us," Harlod whispered to Cassandra, whose eyes flashed with panic. This must be Richard's fault. They were sure he was the one who invited them over. Apart from him, no one dared to make such a big move. Also, they were not expecting it. "Please stop moving back; we are going to assume you want to run away, and we would be forced to use force on you?" One of the men stepped forward, stating in a loud, cold voice, making the three stop in their tracks. The people before them

"What the heck is that bastard doing?" Andrew slapped the table angrily standing up from where he was.Somehow, some reporters had managed to get to the scene where Richard was arresting Aiden.And in the end, the citizens were praising Richard for arresting the miscreants. Then a torrent of curses was sent towards Andrew and it was said he knew nothing but to say things that were not true.This annoyed Andrew, but there was nothing he could do about it."You saw why I said we can't let him live," Cassandra, who had been silent all along, broke the silence, and the two couldn't help but nod.She was right, there was no way they would allow Richard to live. He was just too damn dangerous."So do you still think we should take the killing seriously, or we should continue to look at him," Cassandra stared at the two men and inquired."We should get rid of him for good this time, else, he won't spare us," Harold shook his head.He knew if Richard was to know they wanted to kill him, he w

"If that's the case, why don't you just let us search the house?" One of the policemen frowned and spoke."If you were to search the house, you would also be wasting your time as you wouldn't be able to find them either," Alice shook her head, wondering if this set of people were dumb."Seems like you don't believe it?" Richard smirked, staring at the police officers."Since that's the case, then go and search the house," Richard continued, waving his hands allowing them to go search the house."You can go," Vivienne nodded and allowed the men to go into the house to search.Though she trusted Richard, her men seemed to have doubts. So she had no other choice but to let them clear their doubts by going into the house."But how did you know all of these?" Vivienne asked, staring at Richard."That's because Clinton is not an ordinary Criminal," Richard answered with a smile.He knew how Clinton's mind worked. So he was very sure he was still in the house."Look at his style. He knows

"Fuck!" Aiden, who was typing with all of his might, suddenly cursed. "Who the heck is playing with me?" He yelled, banging the table. He had been trying to hack into the place, but for some reason, he was not able to do it. At some point, the other person seemed to have given up and left. But he didn't and continued to fight with the other party. After a while, he realized the other party didn't even take him seriously at all and this made him annoyed. "What's wrong?" Clinton, who had been packing, rushed into the room and asked what was wrong. "You won't believe this guy is playing with me?" Aiden spoke, fury could be felt in his voice. "What do you mean by that?" Clinton asked slowly, the expression on his face changed. "He's not taking me seriously at all. He's not even trying to defend the place. More like he's just forcing me, wanting me to make mistakes," Hearing this, Clinton's eyes opened wide. While he was at the Mayoral office, they didn't have anyone with that sk

"The universe is on our side," Andrew laughed loudly, walking into the office; the smile on his face was as wide as anything."What's happening?" Harold, who had been waiting for Andrew to return, stared at him, waiting for the news."Well, it's just that our team was able to block Aiden from entering and the money is still intact," Andrew laughed, sitting on the sofa."That's good news," Harold nodded, agreeing almost Instantly.Now that they have been able to block Aiden. All that remained was to attack Richard right?"Richard has not yet taken the bait, has he?" Harold asked a frown emerging on his face."You don't need to worry about that, I'm sure he's still pretending. We still have a lot of time. All we have to do is pretend the money is still there." "And if he doesn't take the money, we can still pin the blame on him, it would still be the same outcome anyways,""Good, good," Harold agreed, nodding happily.He was very satisfied with the way Andrew acted. He was sure that th

"Richard!" Vivienne froze upon hearing the voice; the next moment, she pulled out of her shock and ran towards Richard, who was standing with Alice and embraced him tightly."Tell me, how did you know it was a trap?" Richard's low voice came again as he held Vivienne in his arms."It's easy to guess," Vivienne chuckled,"Who would be crazy to use that much as bait?" Vivienne laughed, still not releasing Richard."And since you dared do that. Naturally, you were not doing it for free, or were you?""You know me quite too well," Richard rubbed his nose hearing what she said.Though her analysis was quite off the mark, he couldn't say that she was wrong. He was the only one who would do such a thing and take such a risk.Apart from him, no one in the world would be willing to do such shit, so there was no need to look around."It's fine Vivienne, I'm here now," Richard smiled, patting Vivienne's back.It was not until then she disengaged from the hug and stared at him with a smile on he

"Aren't you going to come along?" Richard glanced at Alice who was lying lazily on the sofa as though she didn't want to come along.After he revived the message from Richard, he immediately called Justin and asked him to come over, so they would go and arrest Justus.Now Justin and the others were waiting for him at the door."I'm coming," Alice stood up almost instantly, following Richard.She was not surprised that Richard's men had found out about Justus' location. She wanted to see what Justus would do. Also, she didn't know where the hideout was.So, there was no way he would blame her. Besides, he had abandoned her all to Richard.If it were not for the fact that Richard was a good person and was even willing to welcome her, she wouldn't know how miserable her life would have been.Just as the two were about to step out, Richard's phone rang. Pulling out the phone, Richard saw it was Franklyn."Sir, Andrew has withdrawn the money from the account," Franklyn reported, there wa
Chapter 205
"Now, this is what I call easy prey," Franklyn's eyes flashed with a glint as he typed away.He had already caught onto Justus's location and had immediately texted it to Richard right away.He would have called, but he knew the two would break into the place once he was distracted.The one billion was Richard's money, there was no way he would allow something to happen to it.He had to make sure he protected it with all of his might. Also, he was sure that Richard was expecting his message, so he was not worried at all.He knew Richard would know he was not trying to run away from responsibilities.Just as he was doing all of this, he saw Andrew walk into the finance office..Before he could say anything. More than half of the money had been withdrawn. He knew this was Andrew's work."How dare you try to steal Sir Richard's money?" Franklyn growled, feeling rather annoyed.What the heck was Andrew thinking? He wanted to spend Richard's money? That was not going to be possible.He was
