By the next day, the streets of Dalton were buzzing with break news once again, newspapers carrying varying headlines, newspapers displayed on different News stands even before the citizens awoke, waiting for them to be picked up,[AIDEN AND HIS ACCOMPLICES ARRESTED – JUSTICE SERVED][RICHARD DAY: THE MAN WHO BROUGHT DOWN DALTON'S MOST WANTED CRIMINALS!][SHOULD RICHARD DAY RETURN AS MAYOR?]Dalton City had seen its share of betrayals, corruption, and scandals, but this one was unique,The entire nation had been affected by Aiden's apprehension, not just the city. The streets outside city hall were bustling with activity, many people arrived with banners and signs in hand; some were chanting Richard's name, while others were demanding Aiden's execution,"Have Richard return!""Mayor Day!"It was a demand rather than merely an expression of gratitude. News reporters were positioned across the city, interviewing residents and gathering opinions from public servants, business owners, an

The lights in the dimly lit interrogation room made humming sounds, their dying glow casting a shadow in the room,Aiden who usually was the perfect picture and face of confidence sat at the metal table with his hands cuffed, his face was a mix of rage, disbelief and dread,His usual air of arrogance had greatly reduced, although it was a little evident in his mannerisms, but at the moment, his wings were clipped.Detective Langford sat across from him, he was a seasoned investigator and had a reputation of being tenacious and meticulous. Glancing at the file before him, he meticulously flipped through the thick file, and as he did, the pages of the file rustled; the more he flipped pages, the more Aiden's sweat increased.With a glint in his eyes, Langford finally lifted his head to smirk at Richard, tapping at the stack of documents, not minding the echoing sound it emanated in the confined space,“You stole millions, Aiden," he stated, his voice flat and devoid of emotion, "Millio

The smell of freshly brewed coffee blended with the subtle perfume of worn books and polished wood, creating a crisp atmosphere in Tony Caldwell's workplace,It was a place of power, not the corruption-derived kind, but the power that comes from experience, fortitude, and well-considered choices.Andrew Morris had walked into other offices like this one, where prominent figures sat behind opulent desks, their names inscribed on plaques, and their photos hung on the walls as a constant reminder of their legacy,However, this was not like the others because he was ready to confront a leader who wasn’t just any leader but a legendary one.In addition to becoming Ravenwood's Mayor, Tony Caldwell was a legend; he had once been in Andrew's position, struggling to save his city from financial collapse after a scandal nearly brought it to ruin. But Tony, unlike Andrew, had made it through successfully,It was for this sole reason Andrew sought him out, to ask for his help as he was in dire ne

Andrew's breath seized in his throat, his eyes were still widened as he sat upright and tried protesting,"It's not just about my city," as he spoke, his voice began rising,"Leadership is key. It's all about being truthful. You battled your way out of a challenging circumstance, teach me to follow suit."For a moment, Tony gazed at him, his eyes evaluating, scrutinizing. At last, he leaned forward a little and spoke in a low murmur,"You want to learn from me, Andrew?"Andrew desperately, nodded.“Andrew, I didn’t merely battle my way out of a bad situation. I bled for it. You wouldn’t even comprehend the sacrifices I made. You? You’re looking for a shortcut, and that’s why you’re here.”Andrew tensed. “That’s not true.”Tony raised an eyebrow,“Isn’t it? You wouldn’t be here if you had the intuition, the ability, and the vision. You would’ve started fixing Dalton on your own by now.”Andrew turned his head away.Tony leaned back in his seat,“Andrew, that’s why you’re failing. You w

With Andrew running helter-skelter looking for help in the predicament he found himself in, Cassandra was busy with her father who had finally been discharged from the hospital,"Dad, be careful," Cassandra smiled as she helped her father into the house, her father had been discharged after the incident as he had gotten better, but it was still difficult for him to walk,Hence Cassandra had no other choice but to help Harold into the house. As she walked, she found herself grateful that her father was still alive, as the accident had almost had him killed, it was surely a miracle that Harold Delaney was alive."Father, you take a seat, I'll prepare you a meal," Cassandra broke the silence as she helped her father sit, after handing him the remote to the TV, making sure he was comfortable and content with the fruits and drinks she kept beside him.Walking into the kitchen, Cassandra sighed as she started cooking; looking at the empty kitchen, for a moment, she couldn't help but tense

While Cassandra was busy thinking of non-existent life, Vivienne was once again keeping Richard company in his cell, as she also recollected the events of the past days,Aside from the soft voices that trailed from the television, the room was a little quiet,Smiling softly, Vivienne subtly watched him, the smile lighting up a glow in her eyes as she watched him,Vivienne was still unable to get over the fact that Richard had saved her life, not just saved but bravely saved her life. She knew he respected her to a large extent, but his beating up someone on her behalf was a new discovery.Her eyes were bright as she gazed at him, a visible flush appearing on her cheeks as she reminisced on the incident. Her eyes still twinkling, she leaned forward while still smiling, she cleared her throat, trying to get his attention,"May- Richard, thanks for saving me the other day," she smiled softly, staring at Richard whose eyes were still glued to the television.She couldn't decipher if he wa

"What should I do?" Andrew muttered to himself, under his breath, his gaze darting around his surroundings,He had been thinking of a way to make Tony do what he wanted, as the latter seemed rather stubborn.All because he had opposed Richard, he was unwilling to help him. Andrew sneered as he recollected Tony's refusal to help him,“Who does that?" He mused loudly, staring darkly,Apparently, no one but the selfish Tony Caldwell didn't see that Andrew was only after the prosperity of his city, yet for his selfish reason, he was unwilling to understand or even lend a helping hand.“Stupid fool who thinks he's all that!" Andrew continued with his complaints, mumbling and narrowing his eyes at nothing in particular.The more he pondered on the situation, the more a sinister thought crept up his mind; if push came to shove, he wouldn't mind making use of extreme measures, and he definitely wasn't going to spare the stupid Tony,As he paced the ground, Andrew continued muttering, his eye

While Richard was still recovering from the shared moment with Vivienne, Cassandra was trying to scheme her way through him,After leaving her father in the care of a nurse, she had gone out to seek Richard out, and was currently sitting before him with a smile on her face, lowering her eyes a little,Although she was sat in front of him, Richard was yet to acknowledge her presence for the last thirty minutes, and hadn't bothered saying a word to her,Since she came in, he had not even given her a glance; this was the first time he was looking at her.Cassandra sighed as she waited patiently for Richard to finish what he was doing, fiddling with the hem of her skirt,Though she felt extremely uneasy, she could tell from the way he was staring at her that she was not welcome, but she couldn't care less.He had always been like this even in the past, if he was busy, then no one dared to disturb him,Though he didn't look like he was doing anything and seemed to be just intentionally ign

"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

While all of this was going on, Andrew was in the financial team department pacing around with a dark expression.The workers there didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid they were going to make Andrew angrier,They didn't want to lose their jobs just yet. As for the person who had stolen the money, there were no traces.It was as if the money had vanished into thin air, even the bank had no idea where it was transferred to,Checking the account details, they realized it didn't exist which made them even more helpless."What should I tell these investors?" Andrew muttered still not knowing what to do.After a while, he stopped pacing around and walked towards the door of the financial department,"I don't want a word of what happened today to leave this place," he commanded, his voice devoid of emotions carrying a faint hint of threat within."Yes Sir, we'll make sure to guard this secret with our lives," The workers swallowed all saying the same thing."You better do, else..."

While Robin and Justus were entertaining Vivienne, Richard was doing something similar with Alic"What do you think of my cooking?"Richard chuckled, staring at Alice whom he had untied and who was sitting on the sofa with a stubborn expression as though she was not going to give up,After he released her, she tried to fight him once again, but Richard defeated her white easily. No matter how she tried to attack, she would always be beaten by Richard,Slowly she realized there was no way to beat the man in front of her and there was no way to run away. The wardens were not going to let even a fly slip.Then she resorted to acting cold as there was nothing else she could do."Humph!" Alice snorted coldly and turned away. Richard smirked and shook his head before letting out a chuckle,"Hehehe," he laughed, resting his head on the sofa.Alfie refused to eat the food he prepared, so he had no other choice but to cover it up.Now, he was no longer worried, he had someone from the enemy t

Clinton smirked and winked at him,"That's exactly what we want, we want the police to be mad and confused at the same time," Clinton nodded in confirmation,"Also, they would become objects of ridicule and no one would be willing to believe in them again," Clinton added, the smile on his face grew."I see," Aiden muttered, raising his thumbs to give Andrew a thumbs up, equally grinning from ear to ear.The plan was extremely evil and it didn't spare anyone,"If it was not for this new factor, I didn't plan on this," Clinton shrugged defending himself,Now that the Mayor was angry with Aiden, he would surely want to look for him at all costs.Since that was the case, then why wouldn't he just play with his brain a little bit more and then make him infuriated,That would give them ample time to act. Also, they would be helpless, and even if the real Aiden were to come out, they wouldn't notice, they might think it was a mask beneath.As for the other party who were also involved in t

"What should we do?" Aiden broke the silence, shutting the system after he was done cleaning up his traces,"We'll set up a trap for the person who had just stolen our money," Clinton answered, walking back to the coach."What trap are we going to set now we've lost the money to them? I don't think anyone would be willing to invest in the city anymore," Aiden shook his head, still feeling rather frustrated."I didn't plan on telling you this before, but it seems like I would have no other choice but to say it," Clinton sighed, his eyes narrowing into a thin line,"Andrew divided the investors into three groups. The first would fund the start of the project, the second would fund the middle part and the last one would fund the rest of the project,"Aiden's eyes widened upon hearing; though he wondered how Clinton knew about this, he didn't ask. He didn't know much about the latter anyway, so it was just normal he didn't know how he knew about it."The reason I didn't tell you is becau
