Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 102
The hunt for the elusive Aiden Cross, the criminal and trafficker of Dalton City, was in full- swing, with everyone suspicious of their next-door neighbour.Finding the man who had vanished without a trace was the focus of every department in the mayor's office, every investigative team, and every intelligence resource,Although Andrew had approved border monitoring, statewide warnings, and extensive research into Aiden's previous transactions, nothing concrete had surfaced until now.Cassandra was in a complete dilemma as she stood motionless outside the intensive care unit, her nostrils flooded with the pungent smell of antiseptic, sterility and hospital smell,The only thing that brought her back to reality was the steady beep of the devices keeping an eye on her father's health. Harold was lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator attached to his face to help with his difficult breathing, a bruised face, and one arm covered in tight bandages,She had been informed by the doctor

Cassandra's heart pounded against her ribs as she stood outside City Hall, the flash drive weighing more than a ton in her hand,She wasn't sure of what the drive had been configured to do. What if after inserting, all the works they had laboured over disappeared forever, unable to trace it?What if all of Richard's crimes were deleted in the process? She mused,Justice would never come to Dalton City. However, her father would survive. She took a deep breath closed her eyes, and began to make her way to the door. She had to do what she had to do, she concluded internally. As soon as she got in, Cassandra paced around the room, her face darkening as she walked, while she tried thinking of how she could escape the web she found herself,No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of anything, sweat covered her face as she realized she was in a fix. ‘What the heck was happening? What was she going to do? How was she going to get out of this mess?’ she mused internally,Buzzzzz

"Why do you think I would want to help you?" He finally turned to Cassandra after a long moment of silence,"Because..." She stuttered not knowing what to say, as she lowered her head, she had already expected this, yet she came even after the humiliating experience at his hands the last time, Wringing her fingers, Cassandra sighed, she had told Richard what had happened, but he didn't look like he was ready to help her.This made her heart beat rapidly as she didn't know what to do next. Was he really going to let her do what they wanted or was he going to let her father die? She exhaled at the thought of the latter being a welcoming idea for him."I...."Gazing at her, Richard smiled darkly and shook his head,"You don't have to talk, let me see the flash drive," Richard interrupted her, stretching his hands towards her,Though he didn't want to help, he had no choice as he was bound by his commitment to Dalton and his office. If nothing was done, everything they had worked for w

Silence hung in the air for a while, as she awaited Richard's response. Gazing subtly at her, he sighed as he said,"Wait, a minute, I'll make a call," Richard finally said, pulling out his phone as he dialled a number,"Hey, May- Richard," A feminine voice came from the other end of the phone immediately after the call was answered."Vivienne, I need you to do some things for me?" Richard replied, going straight to the point, he was not willing to waste his time on the formalities, time was of the essence and there wasn't time for frivolities,"Huh?" Vivienne at the other end froze hearing Richard's words and for a moment, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seemed like she had been thinking too much. She had let her thoughts run too wild."I messaged you to send some security men to guard Cassandra's father, Harold at the hospital," Richard instructed, his voice sounding rather firm.At the other end, Vivienne's brows furrowed but she said nothing to question his request,"Alrig

In an abandoned warehouse located on the outskirts of the city, a figure paced around the warehouse, clenching and unclenching the fist that was close to his mouth, his veins standing at attention on his neck. On the other hand, the other occupant of the room was sitting in front of a laptop, typing away while grinning.The former who was pacing was Clinton, while the occupied latter was Aiden; they had turned the warehouse into their hideout, as they were now wanted criminals. Hence, they couldn't live like normal citizens any longer"We should leave already Aiden, there's no need to do this, we might end up being caught," Clinton exclaimed, bending over as he folded himself, he was trying to get Aiden to stop what he was doing, but the latter was hell-bent on seeing his mission through. He couldn't afford to fail this time around,“There's no way we would get caught. I've already set everything in place," He shook his head, his eyes flashing with greed.At the moment, he was plann

At the Mayoral office, a voice called out, rushing into Andrew's office,“Sir, we have found something, come and take a look, sir," "Show me" Andrew nodded and immediately left what he was doing to see what they were talking about,"Sir, we found this phone number attached to the bank when we were doing our investigations." One of the men who was at the place looked over to Andrew and informed him."Let me see, what's the details?" Andrew immediately walked over, asking a series of questions.They had been making their investigation, but they were yet to reach any meaningful height and this has bothered Andrew.He has been looking for a way to make sure they got their hands on what was needed, though they had some clues and evidence, it was not enough, thus they needed more.But hearing what his subordinate said, his eyes flashed with surprise and he wanted to take a look quickly,If that was the case, they then could immediately transfer it to the legal department and deal with it
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 108
At Aiden's silence, Clinton tried being the voice of reason once more,"We should-""No!" Aiden interjected while glaring at him, “I would make sure to complete it first before I leave, there's no need for you to panic, there's no way they would find us here," he shook his head stubbornly,He was rather confident that there was no way he would be caught in this place. He knew that as long as he did what he was supposed to do he would be able to escape.Also, with what he had given to Cassandra, at most, in an hour, everything should be right back on track.If that were to happen, they would all be looking for a way to solve the problem; otherwise, there was no way they would be able to continue with the investigation.Relying on this train of thought, Aiden nodded, feeling rather confident in his skills. He was sure that as long as everything went this way, he and Clinton would be the best benefactors,Also, there would be no need to rush out. Everywhere would be in chaos and they w

"Aiden, we should leave, they could break in soon?" Clinton's expression darkened seeing that Aiden was still typing away on the computer,"We have to leave, we don't have much time!" Clinton continued, backing away towards the back door,They had already prepared for an emergency and they were supposed to escape, but Aiden was being obstinate. From the looks of it, he didn't want to leave."Just wait, Clinton, I need just a little more time," Aiden replied, not turning around to look at Clinton who was already back towards the door.Greed flashed in his eyes as he typed on the System. He was confident his men would be able to hold back whoever was trying to break in,All he needed was just a few more minutes and then he would be able to escape.Clinton, on the other hand, didn't think this way. He was already at the door, ready to run out if anything went South.He was not interested in playing with his life, just like Aiden was doing; though he was also greedy, he was not greedy to

Getting into the room, Andrew began to search his office frantically, wanting to see if any of his documents were missing."Fortunately, they didn't steal anything," Andrew heaved a sigh of relief, then turned back to Cassandra and Harold."Sorry for making you both run around," He apologized,"It's fine," Harlod shook his head, the frown on his face deepened with each second."What do you think is the purpose of the thief?" Harold asked after a while, the frown on his face got even deeper.He didn't want to believe someone would just break into the Mayoral office without having a reason.Sure it was not for money. The person was not a fool. If they wanted money, they would break into a bank, yet, they came."Why did you say that?" Andrew was a little bit confused,"Think about it, don't you feel it's a little bit too strange for someone to break into the Mayoral building? After all, this isn't a bank or a Jewelry store," Cassandra chipped in, observing Andrew's expression while his f

The heavy downpour was still ongoing. Fog covered the whole city as darkness slowly descended like a thief in the night.It had been an hour since the rain began, but it didn't look like it had fallen to its heart's content, and more was coming.At this moment, everyone who has gone to work has hurriedly returned to their houses. The ones who had shops hurriedly closed them to return to the warmth of their homes.The day was forced to end due to the rain, forcing everyone to take shelter while it sent cold everywhere.During all of these, a car pulled up in front of the Mayoral office.Using the darkness as a cover, two figures descended from the car both holding an umbrella.One of the figures held a bag as they moved. Their faces couldn't be seen as they had a mask on their faces.But naturally, these two happened to be Aiden and Clinton. Cause of the heavy rain, there was also traffic, thus causing the two to get here at this time.But Clinton only claimed it was better they got he

Back in Clinton's house, where he and Aiden were still hiding and plotting, Aiden turned to stare at Clinton,"Clinton, do you have other plans?" he asked Clinton who was standing by the window watching the raindrop,"Nope," Clinton shook his head, still observing the raindrop, the frown on his face deepened,"What's wrong Clinton?" Aiden frowned, staring at Clinton, who was staring out of the window."We'll need to change our plans," Clinton sighed, shaking his head"Why?" Aiden was dumbfounded and he stared at Clinton, wondering what was wrong,"Another unstable factor has gotten into the game, and if we are not careful, we will end up in prison. And this time, there'll be no hope for us to escape," Clinton sighed, the sadness in his voice could be felt."And who's that?" Aiden asked, his face darkening as he spoke,First was the team that had snatched the money from them, now, someone else was going to enter the game.What the heck were they all thinking? Were they trying to hinde

"Huh?" Andrew and Cassandra froze hearing Harold's words, not believing their ears,Their first instinct was to say he was lying, but for the fact that they knew Harold, they couldn't voice out their thoughts.Harold observed the expression on their faces and couldn't help but shake his head,These two were naive, they didn't know whom they were fighting against; they had the guts to attack Richard without proper planning,What the hell had they been thinking?"So what are we going to do now?" Andrew suppressed his shock and asked,The sound of the rain falling heavily against the window panes could be heard almost drowning out his voice."I don't know," Harold shrugged,"What?!" Andrew and Cassandra froze once again not knowing what to say,"You don't believe me right?" Harold chuckled, seeing the expression on both their faces,The two nodded almost immediately while Harold chuckled; he was not lying, he really didn't know what to do.If he knew, he wouldn't be here sitting down st

"Are you really going to help us?" Cassandra's eyes lit up hearing her father's words.Though she had joined hands with someone else who then gave her the idea that she had used, then gave her ways to make evidence without it being doctored, she felt something was missing,The person had said he wanted only Vivienne, though she didn't know what he wanted to do with her; she felt he must have gotten whatever he wanted, or else he wouldn't have gone silent.Since then, she didn't know how to push forward, Andrew was too busy handling his affairs, so she was left to deal with the aftermath."There's nothing I can do, I can't just stay and watch you fail in what you started," Harlod spread his hands shaking his head showing his helplessness,The two hadn't informed him before taking such big plans; now it was obvious they were going down the drain; how could he sit and watch them?"I'll take you there, Dad," Cassandra offered excitedly, standing up from where she was sitting."Alright let

"A bet?" Alice mumbled, staring at Richard, wondering what the heck he was trying to drive at,"Yeah. As long as I fail to change the way the Public feels, then I'll let you go, else you'll answer any of my questions," Richard replied with a nod, his gleaming as he stared at her,Alice stared at Richard for a while, not saying anything; the terms of the bet were a bit lucrative.If she were to win the bet, she would be free, else she would be forced to tell Richard whatever he wanted to know,Though Richard didn't try to force her to say anything when he asked her who sent her, neither did he try to use any physiological tricks, she couldn't be careless."Since you're silent, I'll take it that you agree to the terms of the bet then," Richard sighed and stood up once again,"No, no, I don't," Alice hurriedly came back to her senses and shook her head, instantly turning down the offer,Though there was a chance that she would win, it was just one out of two; it was not certain.Also,

["The pictures released by some reporters about the past Mayor in the prison have sparked major outrage from the people and they are demanding for the past Mayor to be put into the worst of prison, Coupled with the other news released, the public is angry and has given the mayor an ultimatum to punish the past Mayor else, they would storm the prison to take matters into their own hands,Also, many urged human rights to look into the domestic abuse the past Mayor's wife, Cassandra suffered, and punish him appropriately,"]The newscaster read as she delivered the news written on the paper she was holding,At the same time, pictures of Richard's residence in the prison were shown."Aren't you going to do anything to suppress the news?" Alice turned to Richard, wondering why he didn't look annoyed or moved,"What do you want me to do?" Richard shrugged, staring at the TV with a gentle smile."This news is bad for your reputation. In just a few hours, the reputation you painstakingly buil

"This was just too much fun," Aiden laughed, walking back into the house,He couldn't help but imagine Andrew's annoyed expression while he called out his name,This was a very refreshing feeling for Aiden as he was sure the latter wouldn't be able to do anything.What about the police, they wouldn't even be able to search. Also, he instructed his men to appear only for a minute or two, then they should disappear,"Where's the mask?" Clinton's cold voice pulled Aiden out of his thoughts."Yes, I made sure to collect them back," Aiden chuckled, still feeling good,"So what's our next move?" He asked, throwing the bag back at Clinton who was standing just by the dining table,"Let's wait and prepare for the next heist. The police are too confused to start any search right away," Clinton answered, walking about to the chair,"So how are we going to deal with their other group?" Aiden continued with his series of questions."We can't let them off easily, we need to show them we are also

"Access the CCTV cameras of these places, I want to see if Aiden was there a few minutes ago," Justin added over the papers to one of the people in the control room,"Yes, Sir," The officer saluted him, then turned to salute Andrew, too, but Andrew was not in the mood for all of the frivolities and shenanigans,All he wanted was just to confirm if Aiden was found in one of the locations or not."Sir here's Aiden," the man immediately pointed at the screen, which showed Aiden, who was buying something from the store,"Check the next location," Justin commanded,"Yes, Sir," The man nodded, and his hands immediately started to fly around on the keyboard."Sir, there he is," he pointed at Aiden who was walking with a bag in hand with his head down,"How many minutes is between them?" Justin didn't come to conclusions, but first, he asked,"Sir, both are at 10:30 this morning," the officer at the table swallowed, also realizing something was off.There was no way one person would be in t
