Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 038
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

A few days later, Clinton was still in his celebratory mood of being the new Deputy Mayor when he received a message from Aiden, [Meet me at the Boil Point Hotel Car Park in twenty minutes] As he read the message, his eyebrows furrowed, but Clinton didn't have any choice, so grudgingly, he headed to the location. He met Aiden in the car park, seated in his G-wagon, Aiden was all smiles and pleasant as he received him, “The new Deputy Mayor. Welcome, it's good to see you, the title does fit you" Aiden greeted him cheerfully, and Clinton couldn't help the pink tinges that crept on his cheeks. Aiden was surprisingly warm and welcoming, thanking him for his loyalty as he also promised him a bright future, “Clinton my man. You've done well; you ought to be proud," he said haughtily as he winked at Clinton. Clearing his throat, Aiden reached to the back seat of his car and placed the file on his lap, looking over at Clinton, his smiling face had suddenly turned serious, “No

You're up already?" Alice turned to look at Richard who was stretching lazily as he walked out of the room."I hope you weren't disturbed by this bitch who couldn't stop running her mouth?" Alice continued, staring at Richard,If she was a bit wary of Richard, now she was his diehard fan as she had realized long ago, she was nowhere near his match. Since that was the case, she just needed to support him.Richard's mouth curled up into a smile upon hearing this. He knew Mia must have said some unpleasant stuff to Alice which was why she was like this.After all, he could guess Mia's motives and knew why she was there.But he couldn't be bothered to expose her. There was no need to expose her."So, tell me, what do you need?" Richard chuckled slightly after nodding at Alice then turned to Mia."Why are you doing what you are doing?" Mia blurted out, asking the question on her mind.If it were not for Alice, she would have been a little bit ruder. But Alice's words seemed to have some ef

A taxi pulled up in front of the prison and Mia alighted from it. Seeing the prison, Mia's anger rose and for a moment, she wanted to criticize everyone inside.But after thinking about it, she held back her anger. There was no need for all of that. After all, the person who had caused all of this was Richard.If she made too much trouble for him, he might do something not good to Andrew and she didn't want to see something like that."Who are you and what do you want?" The guard's hoarse voice came, stopping Mia right in her tracks."I want to see Richard," Mia suppressed her anger and answered. Though she felt like punching the two. There was nothing she could do about it.They were just following orders, also she didn't know if they had been bribed or not."You can't just go in to see sir," One of the guards shook his head, refusing to let Mia in."But..." Mia frowned slightly, she didn't want to reveal her identity."Let's call sir first, then we'll let you in if he wants to see y

"Huh? When did you arrive?" Andrew froze staring at the figure right before him."A few minutes ago, but you were carried away by what you were doing, so you didn't even notice me," Harlod smiled slightly, sitting on the sofa. When he arrived, he saw Andrew deep in thought and thus decided to let him be, hoping he was going to recognize him.But it seemed like he was thinking too much. Even after standing for a minute or two, Andrew didn't seem to realize there was someone inside his office.Having no other choice, he woke up with a simple chuckle. As a result, Andrew was a little bit startled, but he couldn't care less about all of that."So what are we going to do?" Andrew asked, his gaze fixated on Harold who was sitting on the sofa "We would do what I had said before. You don't have to worry, everything will go just as it's supposed to go," Harlod reassured, seemingly confident in his plans."Alright," Andrew nodded rather skeptically. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to believe

Andrew, on the other hand, walked back to his car after ending his speech. Just as he had thought. The masses weren't even willing to listen to him. The one who had listened to him wasn't willing to believe him.In the end, when they had questions, their questions were all about why he would lie against the past Mayor so he could gain their trust.Appearing rather peacefully, he could only endure their questions and act as though he didn't hear them when in truth, he was really annoyed by it.But there was nothing he could do about it. They were all just civilians who didn't know a thing about the government."Sir, what are we going to do?" Mia asked, staring at Andrew, who didn't seem to have any reaction.She even seemed to be more annoyed than Andrew who was being accused. At the moment, she firmly believed all of these were Richard's fault, and thus, she blamed him for it."You don't have to worry, I'll figure out things, but first, you should go and get some rest," Andrew answere

"So he's preparing yet another attack, but this time, using a different approach," Alice muttered after a while coming back to her senses."Bingo!" Richard nodded, slapping his thigh while chuckling."Why are you laughing? What's funny?" Alice frowned slightly, staring at Richard wondering why he was laughing."Aren't you supposed to be thinking of a way to prevent Andrew from attacking you? You look so relaxed when you know there's danger up ahead,""Why should I be worried," Richard stopped laughing, seeing Alice was a little bit crossed."I know you don't take Andrew seriously, but at least I know whatever he would do would have a great impact on your reputation. Are you still going to let him do what he wants?" Alice stared at Richard, not believing her eyes.This guy before her could correctly tell his opponent's next move, yet he was not willing to fight back. Who the heck acts like them?"Alright you don't have to take this seriously," Richard sighed, seeing that Alice wouldn't

"Congratulations on your victory," Alice congratulated Richard just as he stepped into the prison.She had been up for a while and was lucky to watch the court proceedings aired.Though she knew Richard would win, the way he had won was effortless. What's more, the citizens all came to gather around him, asking for his forgiveness, at the same time cursing at Cassandra and Andrew for misleading them."What victory," Richard chuckled, collapsing on the sofa with a smile on his face."You just dealt with the most pressing issue on the ground, and you've made Andrew realize that he's not your match," Alice stated slowly, observing Richard's expression."Is that so?" Richard raised his brows, staring at Alice, the smile at the corner of his face slowly turned even."What is wrong?" Alice muttered, seemingly confused at the whole thing."Andrew should have known. At least he should be willing to withdraw now and focus on other things other than having to fight with you.""Do you really thi

"Huh?"Mia froze hearing this, believing her ears. Though she knew Andrew wouldn't lie to her, she was also a bit skeptical about what he had just said."It sounds funny huh?" Andrew chuckled, seeing the shock on Mia's face."Yes sir," Mia nodded, still not wanting to believe what Andrew had said."Well, I was also shocked when it happened yesterday, but I had no other choice but to accept the truth," Andrew shook his head getting into the car."Yesterday was a long night, and I even went to confront him, and he didn't deny it," Andrew continued with a sigh, sadness written all over her face.Hearing this, Mia's face became twisted as she clenched her fist feeling rather annoyed.Andrew was here, trying to use all of his brain to solve the problem in the city, but Richard was busy creating problems for him.What kind of ex-mayor was he? Seemed like she would have to go and find him. This was getting out of the line."You don't need to get upset by all of these, I'll definitely find a

"Fuck, this is over!"Andrew cursed angrily, throwing away his phone, crashing it onto the ground, and shattering it into pieces.Just as expected, Richard won the case quite effortlessly. Now, all the reputation he struggled to build had scattered.The public was hurling a lot of insults at him. Though most of them were still directed at Cassandra, he still took some of them, and this made him really uncomfortable.Why in hell were they going to involve him in something he didn't know about? But he was pretty helpless and could only curse angrily.Staring at the broken phone, Andrew felt his anger dissipate a bit. Then he crashed on the sofa, closing his eyes."Ring!"The landline in the office rang at the moment, pulling Andrew out of his thoughts.Standing up, he stomped angrily towards the landline, intending to insult the hell out of whoever was at the other end.Why in the heavens would they call him at a time like this? Didn't they know he was annoyed?"Andrew!" Harlod's old vo

"Where are you headed?" Alice stared at Richard who was preparing to go out."I'm heading to the court, would you be willing to come along?" Richard answered, extending an invitation to Alice who hurriedly shook her head."There's nothing I need to go and see in court; you can just go and solve the issue yourself; there's no need for you to involve me," Alice rejected Richard's invitation.The safest place she could and would be was this place. In this place, Richard was the leader and he didn't seem to want to hurt her.This was such a safe haven, why would she want to leave? She would be a fool if she ever thought of leaving.She might even scold herself if she thought about it. What the heck was that?"You don't need to be scared; I just want you to witness how I'll deal with your mayor," Richard laughed, sitting back on the couch."Do you think Cassandra would come to Court?" Alice stared at Richard and inquired.She also knew what was happening. Also, Richard told her everything
