Meanwhile, back at the Capital, Dan Morris was working on his laptop when his door flung open, ushering in one of his greatest nemesis, Donald Curry, a federal government official, with Dan's secretary in tow, whose face was crumpled,

“I'm sorry Mr Morris, I tried to stop him"

Dan sighed and waved off the secretary as Donald walked with shoulders high into his office, spotting a smirk.

Dan didn't miss the smirk on the man's face, he heaved a sigh and rested his back on the chair in a casual manner as he greeted the man through subtle gritted teeth,

“Mr Curry. It's a pleasure, what can I do for you?"

Donald, smiling smugly nodded crisply and said,

"Nothing much, just thought I'd stop by and see how things are over here” was his response,

Dan Morris quirked his brow up, he knew for certain that was just a flimsy excuse and that Donald was possibly playing at something else. Still, he nodded and replied in a clipped tone,

“Everything is going on well, after all, a Morris is in charge

He asked, straight to the point as he glared at a smirking Vivienne,Vivienne who was looking quite pleased with herself gave a crisp nod as she replied,“Good to see you too, Mayor Harold, or should I say former?" She quipped slyly causing Harold to clench his fists and glare at her irritably,On the other hand, Vivienne was a picture of calmness, although her eyes held deep amusement.“You're in an official environment, I'll advise that you keep your voice down,” Vivienne said coolly as she raised her head to look at him intently. The sight of Harold made her a little sick to her stomach, but she had to stomach it nonetheless,She couldn't understand how one person could be so vile and be surrounded by equally vile people. Was Harold Delaney so blind and stuck up in his nose and ass that he couldn't see the gem that Richard was, or perhaps

    With hate in her eyes, Cassandra turned to glare at Vivienne who had turned on the light at the sound of the footsteps,“What the hell did you do?!" She asked in a shrill voice, throwing daggers with her eyes at Vivienne who shrugged and smirked,“Just a little going away gift. I know how much the media loves you" she chuckled.Immediately cameras and microphones were placed in front of them as the media began asking question after question,"Mr Delaney, Miss Cassandra, Mr Morris can you all tell us why you're held up here?”"What allegations have been laid against you?" “Has Mayor Richard regained his freedom and demanded your arrest?" The last question infuriated Cassandra and so she stormed her leg, as she glared at them,"That bastard can never be free! A criminal never goes unpunished!” She exclaimed through gritted teeth."Is that so? So why are you locked up in jail?” another person countered, and Cassandra's face darkened. Andrew nudged her into not saying anything, as it c

    But before Richard could say anything to defend himself against the slander, another commotion ensued at the entrance of the prison, Andrew's father, Dan Morris had stormed his arrival with an army of men flanking his sides, the men were fierce-looking and had some of the officers cradling their necks to have a glance, the others mumbling amongst themselves as they gazed at the heavy set men. “Where is my son?!" He thundered, as his eyes darted around the prison walls, his eyes landed on the media that had surrounded the place and finally, on his son who had a small smile at his father's arrival, Dan Morris glared at Harold, “What's going on here?! What have you lot done with my son?" Harold gulped, his cheeks reddening a little, "Huh… Si-sir…" he trailed, unable to string his words together. He had totally forgotten about Dan's incessant calls and messages and hadn't imagined that the man would leave the capital to come look for his son. Harold had been hoping to curb the s

    Dan Morris yelled as he stood right in front of Richard, glaring at him. He had heard of all Richard had done, and though they were a little impressive, it gave him no room to talk in that manner to him, clenching his jaw and fists he stared Richard down,“Is it because you're a lost war hero? Does that give you the right to be rude? You're nothing; you must have been something before now, but at this moment, you're nothing! Got that?!” He challenged Richard as he jutted his chin at him,Richard only stood unfazed, as he stared at the man while he barked. Bending his neck to the side, he smiled,“If you say so. But I'm going to ask you to apologize. Afterall you slapped a woman and our police Chief, it's only right that you apologize" Dan Morris immediately burst into laughter, the corner of his eyes twinkling as he gazed at Richard, the dude sure had audacity, he mused,“Are you such a fool or what? You expect me to apologize to her?” He turned to glower at Vivienne as he jabbed his

    Seeing the dazed expression on the leader's face, Dan Morris immediately interjected before Richsrd could respond,“Don't listen to him! Don't listen to whatever he has to say. He is just a former fighter reliving his glorious days! Show him what you've got!" He commanded authoritatively as he sneered at Richard, who had an impassive look on his face but was also battle-ready.He spared Vivienne a glance, who was biting on her lower lips, Vivienne's face was a little pale and she immediately grasped his arms and whispered,“M-mayor?" she said softly as she glanced at the men from a lowered glance, she did not know what the outcome of the fight would be,Though Richard was fit and could fight, he was clearly outnumbered, and her men, who were shaking like Chickens that had been poured water, didn't look like one who could confront the looming ten.Sensing her fears and apprehensions, Richard smiled and shook his head before patting the hand that was holding tightly unto him, and speaki

    With a shaky voice and a pale face, he gaped at Richard who stood strong with wide shoulders, not a scratch on him, he mumbled in a low voice,“W-what are you? A mercenary? W-who?”He hadn't come across one with such skill or power; he had only heard of one with such skills but had never seen or known him personally. It wasn't possible that this person before him could be that person, was it? He wondered as he gulped, his entire face pale.Sneering at the leader, Vivienne stepped forward as she took the liberty to respond with a smirk,“He's Richard Day, the Mayor of our town" As the name left Vivienne's lips, the leader sputtered, and went paler than before, stumbling as he gaped at Richard,“N-no…no, it can't be” As he gaped at Richard, he couldn't deny that he surely was the one he had heard about. The leader immediately got to his feet and turned to glare at Dan Morris whose brows furrowed,“What have you done?!!" The leader demanded loudly, grabbing at Dan's collar, who began co

    Andrew sighed and ran his hands over his face as he expelled a deep breath,"What if we don't find how to nail this on Richard? What if he's not the one behind this?” Sighing once more, he looked at the duo and shook his head, "I don't even know what to think at this point. This is not what we can deal with under the time frame, or we have to answer for what we know nothing about. I can't carry the cross for another man's crime; it's impossible." Andrew paced around the room, with many thoughts weighing him down in his head.His secretary who had returned into the room after seeing the officials out, smiled softly and cleared her throat,“Excuse me, sir, but we have to find—” She was about to drop off a suggestion that came to her mind, hoping that Andrew would listen to her. She was secretly in love with Andrew, and being that he was a Morris added to her awe of him, and so she was trying daily to make him see her beyond being a secretary. Afterall, Cassandra wasn't good enough for

    (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

    "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
