Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 037
Contrary to what Clinton had imagined, Jacob had overly delivered the message to Aiden, who sat amongst his club subordinates, cheering loudly and clinking their glasses against each other. The temperature in the room had been set too high, to wade off the cold blizzard,Jacob giddily rushed over to where Aiden sat beaming as he approached him,“Boss. You've got to see this" he exclaimed, almost clapping as he approached. Raising his head, Aiden smiled and acknowledged him with a nod, dropping his tobacco as he relaxed on his seat, rubbing his palms in anticipation,Removing his glasses, Jacob took out a chip from it and inserted it into the computer that was atop the table. Typing rapidly away, he turned the video towards Aiden's direction, who immediately leaned forward, a huge smile taking up his face as he watched it.While Jacob had been outside with Clinton, he had used his high-tech glasses to record their encounter, without him nor his team knowing. Via that means, he was able

As the minutes ticked by, Clinton's team's suffering increased; their hands and feet were white and had gone numb. A few of the men had already collapsed to the ground, unable to bear the cold. Their lips had turned blue,“S-s-s-ir, p-l-ease l-et's g-o b-ack” his subordinate pleaded through chattering teeth and a shivering body, begging him to take action; either find a shelter or return to their base. Stubbornly, Clinton shook his heavy head,“We will wait," he repeated in a firm voice.On the other hand, Aiden's men were dancing and drinking to their fill, with strippers entertaining them. They were watching Clinton and his men from the CCTV playing and couldn't help but mock them, “How can one person be this stupid?" One of them exclaimed as he stared at the screen, simultaneously enjoying the ride the stripper was giving him,“One person you say?!" Another laughed, throwing his head back, “They’re all stupid, not one of them can talk sense into their dense leader or themselves”

Clinton was left alone in the blizzard, cursing at his men's cowardice. As he looked at the sky and his surroundings, he let out a loud growl, glancing at his watch made him clench his jaw tightly, They had arrived a little over 1 pm, and now the time was past eleven in the night. He had been waiting for hours, and night had finally come, his body going numb and his spirit near giving in. Just when he thought he was going to spend the night out there, Jacob finally appeared, smirking at Clinton who clenched his jaw, the gloating expression on Jacob's face further grated Clinton's mood, “About time," he muttered through gritted teeth. His nostrils were flaring as he sneered at Jacob, but he reined his anger in. After all, he had come this far, and so he had to keep cool for the sake of his mission. Jacob nodded at him curtly, smiling unkindly, “Follow me" he instructed with a flat tone. Still gritting his teeth, Clinton numbly followed him, and as his feet stepped into the

Aiden gazed intently at Clinton, a small smirk playing on his face as he watched him; the tension in the room was palpable; he could sense Clinton's unease. Resting his back, a small smile played on his face as he pointed at the seat opposing Clinton,“Have a seat, Clinton. Feel at home”Dazed at his contradicting words, Clinton gaped at him before nodding solemnly and shuffling into the seat, folding himself as he was unable to relax. Immediately, a glass and a bottle of expensive champagne were placed before him. Aiden nodded and nudged his neck to the drink,When Clinton's eyes fell on the bottle, they nearly popped out of their sockets. His gaze darted between the bottle and back at Aiden, swallowing hard as he did. Aiden nodded as he spread his arms wide,“It's for you. On the house. It's a small gesture of our hospitality" he added with a smirk, his eyes glinting as he watched Clinton like a hawk.Clinton gulped and said nothing, but he couldn't help himself as he took a sip of

“Be at peace. I don't need you carrying guns or doing anything illegal” Aiden informed with amusement,Clinton narrowed his eyes at him in confusion, tilting his head he leaned forward,“W-what do you w-want from me?” Clinton gulped “W-what do you want me to do?” Clinton asked, his voice a little low,“You’ll provide me with cover for my operations, you'll be my inside eyes and informant, protecting my people and my interests,” Aiden said in a finality tone, he watched Clinton keenly as he nodded absently, smirking he added,“Heck, I'll even throw in a sweet deal for you." Clinton's brows arched and Aiden leaned forward, his eyes glinting,"To set things rolling, I'll throw in two of my men who were involved in the mayhem; we'll call them scapegoats. They and their families will be settled, while you'll also be settled, not only that, but you get to prove yourself to your superiors, earn accolades, and savor victory”Smiling, Aiden crossed his arms, raising his eyebrows at Clinton wit

The next day, Harold, Andrew, and Cassandra organized a press conference, making sure to have all the news and media outlets available, Elizabeth Clive, Taylor, and a host of other journalists and news anchors were present. They had made sure to gather every media personnel to announce Andrew Morris as the new mayor and Clinton Rogers as his deputy, The whole place was buzzing with the media and citizens of Dalton City as they held the conference right in front of the mayoral house. Harold, with his shoulders back, walking with wide steps, stepped, towards the podium that was lined with different microphones from different media houses. He was sporting a huge smile while Andrew and Clinton flanked beside his right and left, respectively, although they stood a few feet behind where he stood. Tapping the microphone while smiling, he cleared his throat and spread his arms broadly, “Ladies and gentlemen of the press and our great citizens. Thank you for joining us here today.” Everyo

That same day, back at Richard's holding cell, while the press conference had been ongoing, he was relaxed in his cell, casually watching it with eagle's eyes and a small smile on his face; he shook his head sadly at the fickleness of men.Vivienne who had heard of the meeting at the last minute and couldn't be there live, hurriedly made her way to Richard's cell, her face glistening with sweat. She immediately paused in her steps, her heart skipping a beat as she found Richard casually lying on his bed, watching the news with an impassive expression,‘Why does he look unbothered? What kind of person is he?’ she wondered to herself, before exhaling gently, rubbing her palms over her crisp skirt, and then knocked on the door,“Mayor Sir" she bowed slightly, and at Richard's nod, she walked into the cell,“I see you have seen the new development" Richard nodded as he smiled at her, sitting upright he turned to look at her, indicating at her to sit on one of the empty seats,“Yes, I hav

"C-Clinton? The newly announced deputy mayor?”Richard nodded again,“Why do you think he's involved though? He's never been in the frontier of government”"That's exactly one reason, a thirst for power. Besides, Clinton isn't that smart enough to solve that level of crime by himself and at that quick rate”Vivienne exhaled and ran her hand through her hair as she paced. Richard's absence was beginning to cause a lot of complications and raise situations she wasn't sure she could handle. Her mind was racing and reeling; she and others had raised eyebrows at Clinton's sudden promotion, but she could never have placed him and Aiden together or that Aiden would dare rear his ugly crimes anymore. Her shoulders sagged as she sighed before she raised her chest,“I’ll get on it right away Richard. I'm also working to make sure you're out of here soon”Richard's expression immediately turned dark as he narrowed his eyes and replied gravely,“I'm not sure that's necessary. I don't think I'm re

(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, he finally

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 were f

"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 skill.At t

"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
