Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 134
While Aiden had successfully made his escape, an oblivious Andrew was in his office when someone rushed in, panting heavily with his face mapped in sweat,"Sir, we have a problem!" he exclaimed,"What problem?" Andrew snapped his head up to gape at the man who had rushed in. Still panting heavily, the fellow bent over, trying to catch his breath as he revealed, "Sir, the prisoner escaped," he reported, Despite the air conditioner and cold room, the fellow was still dabbed in sweat, fanning himself with his hand.As Andrew processed the news, he narrowed his eyes at Trent, a deep frown etched on his face as he asked loudly,"What prisoner?" Gazing intently at the man, he quirked his brow at him, awaiting a response. There were many prisoners awaiting trial, so how was he supposed to know which of them had escaped? A part of him hoped to God that Trent wasn't referring to Richard.Besides, the weight of Dalton City had fallen on him, though the Parker family had promised to help, th

Expelling a deep breath as he closed and opened his eyes, Andrew waved off his hands, dismissing Trent without looking at him,"You may leave," Trent immediately nodded his head, his head bobbing as he hurriedly left Andrew's office, he couldn't dare waste another minute,Andrew was like a ticking time bomb, a little erratic. Trent was sure that if he wasted another moment or displeased Andrew, he would fire him.Oblivious to the thought that raced through Trent's mind while he raced out of his office, Andrew sighed for the umpteenth time; he didn't know what to do anymore nor what to tell the masses. What was he to tell them?He had to think of a way to convince them that he would look into the matter and make sure Aiden was caught,Still, deep in thought, Andrew's eyes suddenly glistened as a thought flashed through his mind, and he flew off the couch, walking towards the scattered files as he searched for his phone, whose screen was already broken.Sighing, with a slow smile appea

“Richard Day! You're under arrest for fraud, bribery, and corruption!” Inspector Finn’s words rang out, and Richard leaned back in his chair, unfazed. Slowly, he turned to face the officer. “Finn,” he drawled, “ To what do I owe this pleasure?”“Uhm… A case has been brought against you, and I’m simply here doing my duty,” Finn replied, a hint of nervousness in his voice.‘Is that so?’ Richard raised an eyebrow, and his gaze flicked briefly to his assistant, Benson, whose hand hovered over his waistband, ready to act. With a subtle shake of his head, Richard signaled him to stand down.Sighing, Richard looked around at the officers before focusing on Finn. “What crime did you say has been levied against me?" he asked, voice calm but edged with steel. Inspector Finn swallowed a little before he replied. “You've been accused of misappropriation of funds, bribery, corruption, and various other crimes" He started with a clearer voice, but his confidence wavered as he continued und

They arrived at the prison, and Inspector Finn led Richard inside, with Richard striding in and his hands cuffed.They were headed to Inspector Finn's office when loud siren noises filled the air, and officers straightened their postures as a fleet of six luxurious cars rode into the police compound. The cars came to a stop, with a well-dressed officer hurrying down to open the back door he had come down from,Inspector Finn watched with mouth agape as a woman with long flowing red hair and voluptuous curves came down, wearing high stiletto heels, the aura around her was that of power and authority.As he watched her approach, he shuffled on his feet and gulped, before he greeted her with all the false enthusiasm he could muster.“C-chief, this is a pleasant surprise. You didn't inform us you were coming in" He greeted, trying to smile despite the turmoils in his stomach, the police Chief raised her brows at him before replying snidely,“I didn't know I was to inform you of my itine

Finn shook his head vigorously, closing his eyes tight as he did, mumbling under his breath,“I-I w-was only following orders of the mayor. " Vivienne straightened herself, “You also follow my order! You don't go behind me and execute orders without my permission!”Richard remained impassive, looking at Finn kneeling in front of him. He understood what was going on, it was obvious Finn was just a mere messenger whose hands were tied. “It’s all right, Vivienne. I’ll be fine.” He turned to Vivienne and said calmly.Vivienne swallowed hard, scratching at her temple as she watched Richard. It was as clear as day that the mayor and his daughter were nothing but ambitious but stupid people who didn't mind bringing people down to get to their aim.On the surface, the city of Dalton appeared peaceful and prosperous, but beneath this facade were various dangerous factions engaged in a power struggle. Only Richard’s presence kept these forces from making bold moves against the city. Shou

But then, as she recalled the respectful glances the manager directed at them, understanding dawned on her. Of course—it had to be because of Andrew. He was a Morris, from one of the most prominent families in the capital. Andrew's family name alone must have been enough to completely change their treatment here.Realizing this, Cassie’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Her confusion melted into a profound pride. She looked at Andrew, her lips curling into a smile. “Andrew, I’m so proud of you! It’s all because of you! Only the Morris family can have such an influence!” Andrew gave a smug smile, shrugging as though it was nothing.“Well, being a Morris has its perks,” he replied with a wink. “Enjoy, this is only the beginning. This is nothing compared to all you stand to gain with our marriage and merger”Andrew boasted with a puffed-out chest, causing Harold and Cassie to exchange a glance and beamed widely at themselves.The same thought was running through both their minds: it ha

The waiter nodded and hurried to go do her bidding. In no time, their whole table was filled with exotic and expensive dishes, as Cassandra had made sure to order the most expensive dishes on the menu.The Almas Caviar on Mother-of-Pearl Spoons, Aged Iberico ham (36 months) paired with century-aged balsamic vinegar pearls, served with 24k gold-topped focaccia, Bluefin Tuna Toro Tartare with Iranian Saffron and White Truffles, A5 Kobe Wagyu Gold Steak, Stuffed Lobster with Sea Urchin and Oscietra Caviar, Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru 1978, The Macallan Fine & Rare Collection 1926...The whole meal cost more than one million and Cassandra didn't hesitate in ordering them, after all, this was a rare opportunity, and they weren’t going to waste it.Their food was arrayed in a buffet manner, and the trio enjoyed their dish to their satisfaction, As they finished the meal and prepared themselves to leave, the door to their room opened and a gentleman wearing an expensive suit entered,

Andrew’s face tightened imperceptibly. He knew Nicholas wasn’t bluffing; the forces behind the Golden Leaf had a reach and power that even his illustrious family couldn’t challenge easily.Swallowing his pride, Andrew gave a curt nod, his voice steady despite the tension. “I see. Then, we’ll comply with your request.”Cassandra’s jaw dropped as she turned to Andrew in disbelief. “Are you serious? Are we just going to let him humiliate us like this?”Andrew shot her a warning glance, his expression firm. “Don't make trouble, Cassandra. Paying for our meal isn’t a problem for a Morris." Andrew masked his face with a smile and took out his card to pay the bill. Though he was smiling, he was gritting and grinding his teeth, his jaws a little clenched.He was cursing at her and her gluttony, she had eaten like a pig that had been starved for weeks, and now he had to pay the bill for her. The thought of shelling out that outrageous amount had him fuming.Though his family was a prominent

Aiden's heart hammered against his chest as the car drove at a very high speed, though he could tell there was no way the officers were going to come after them, the person driving the car didn't seem to be thinking about this and was just driving at a crazy speed,Well, this didn't matter, he had finally escaped, he was going to finalize his plans.He made a mental note not to be as greedy as he was the last time, or else he was sure whoever had saved him wouldn't be willing to take such a risk again,Even the law was not going to be lenient with him. So he was thinking too far talking about the person who had just saved him.Aiden's eyes nearly popped out as he came to a sinking realization,“Damn it!" he mumbled beneath his breath, chewing on his lips. He didn't think about the consequences of following them as he was concerned about escaping, his fists turned ashen as he heaved; knowing he hadn't been rescued out of benevolence,He knew whoever had saved him, needed him for someth

Still in the van,Aiden rested his head on the seat with his eyes closed. He was not sure if he was to be happy or not,“Are you such a coward?!" he muttered to himself, wondering how whoever it was that wanted to save him had given up,What the heck was that? How could the person get scared and abandon their plans?Or was this just a plot to make him believe someone was coming to save him, and then, in the end, it was going to go all the same?“Damn it!” Aiden grumbled, furiously his nails,Heaving a sigh, he ran his hands through his hair, as he sighed again, accepting his fate, he had been excited for nothing, with that realisation, he couldn't help but curse at the police officers,“Bloody bastards!" he spoke through gritted teeth.Why the hell were they playing with his mind? Just as Aiden thought about giving up, a loud popping sound suddenly echoed throughout the whole place, shaking the car and making the driver, who was already at high speed, lose control,After a while, he w

While Clinton and the men were preparing to rescue Aiden, the van Aiden was seated, moving slowly down the path. The van was accompanied with armed military and police vehicles preceding and tailing it,The vehicles moved a little slowly, Aiden sat inside the van with lowered head, a shadow of himself,No one would believe it was the unruly Aiden Cross, he was disheveled. His hair was all scattered, and he looked rather lean.He hadn't been in prison for a month, yet he was reduced to such a terrible state, despite his connection, the prison look wasn't a good one on Aiden.Running a hand through his hair as he heaved a deep breath, Aiden's eyes closed briefly as Clinton's words echoed in his head. Gritting his teeth, he remembered how Clinton had urged him to abandon everything, but he had refused believing he could handle it,It turned out, he couldn't handle it as his obstinacy had cost him terribly, if he had listened to Clinton and escaped through the backdoor with him, he was su

"Sorry for the delay and the abrupt change in plan," Clinton apologized as he alighted from the car, staring at the group of men before him,The men nodded curtly as one of them responded,"It's nothing, we have been paid after all, so there's no need to get annoyed." while he spoke, he subtly sized Clinton up with his eyes,Clinton caught the man's gaze but commented nothing on it as he dished out his instructions,“Alright then, this would be our location until we're set to roll." gazing intently at them, he continued,"This time around, we're breaking him out of the van that would be conveying him to court” he informed them, as he also appraised them.The mercenaries were ten, and they came in two cars, though some of them were still inside the car, the ones before him all had hardened expressions on their faces,From their expression and countenance, Clinton could tell that this mission was a piece of cake for them, they were mercenaries who had gone through worse situations, even

"Where are you guys? I've been waiting for you all morning," Clinton spoke immediately as he answered the call,They had made him anxious, and they needed to know how much their actions had cost him,"Sorry Sir, we were held up by an assignment," A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone."We'll be arriving in Dalton City in the next three hours." The voice informed,Clinton heaved a breath and nodded,"Alright then, I'll be waiting for you at the place we discussed; I'll bring some equipment and ammo with me," he ended the call.He was still invested in the matter as he was thinking about how to get Aiden out of prison. There was no way he was going to allow him to spend a day more in that damn place.The earlier he was able to break him out of prison, the quicker he would be able to recover all of his money,Pushing the matter to the back of his mind, Clinton switched on the TV wanting to cool down.But just as he was about to change the channel, something suddenly caught

"Hello sir," Franklyn's voice came from the other end of the phone,"Franklyn?" Richard called gently, the smile on his face deepening a bit,"Sir, I've found out about Parker's family." Franklyn began, pausing for a moment before he continued again.“Would you like me to tell you about them or would you prefer for me to send the files over to you, Sir?" Franklyn asked over the phone,For a moment, Richard was deep in thought before he finally responded,"Tell me. What did you find out," Richard answered, he wasn't sure he was in the mood to read any file, and he wanted to get the information over with."Just as you've guessed sir, Parker's family is just a small family in Brooksville. Though for some reason recently, they've been having a major breakthrough." Franklyn explained, his voice carrying some sort of weight,"In just a month, they were about to move from a third-rate family in Brooksville to a first-rate family. Even the other first-rate families have had to tread with the

The next day arrived faster than expected, Richard, dressed in plain khaki shorts and a shirt stood outside the prison walls, waiting for Vivienne's arrival,While waiting outside, a smile graced his lips as he took on the surroundings and felt the crisp air on him.Although thanks to Vivienne, his movement in the prison wasn't restricted, he wasn't one to take people for granted, hence he didn't take advantage of that privilege.Besides, he didn't want to give Andrew, Cassandra or even Harold another arsenal against Vivienne, because if they knew of the immense help she was rendering to him, it would be chaotic,Today was an exception; he had to investigate himself and be present; he wasn't going to leave anything to chance.Suddenly he heard the sounds of the vehicles before they pulled over,Rows of cars pulled up before him, and he nodded curtly at them as Vivienne popped out of her head,“Hop in, there's a little traffic ahead, we might get there late" Richard nodded briskly, sm
