"At least you should let me explain, right? Then you can decide if what I've done is right or wrong," Richard sighed, knowing well Amanda would soon stay yelling again if he didn't try to pacify her.

"Then tell me, what damned reasons you have for doing what you did," Amanda scoffed, waiting for Richard's explanation.

"If I let Andrew cancel the court case, they would use another brutal method to attack and it would be harder to solve than this court case, so why would I let him cancel it," Richard explained.

Though he didn't know what Andrew planned on doing, he knew he didn't have any good intentions; as such, he was not planning on relaxing.

Since there was an easier way, there was no way he would let it slip past him.

He had sworn to use whatever chances he had and this was his chance. He would be a fool if he missed it.

"What's the other reason?" Amanda's cold voice came from the other end. Though it seemed like she had calmed down a bit, Richard was still a little bit apprehensi

    "Does that mean there's nothing else we can do?" Andrew inquired sceptically, his heart pounding against his chest while he prayed that was not the answer."Yes, there's nothing else you can do. We can only receive this blow from Richard and then look for a way to hit back even harder," Harlod's reply came from the other end of the phone.Andrew sighed not knowing what else to say. There was nothing he could say even if he wanted to say something.What could he possibly say at this point? He was already defeated by Richard."I'll call you when I think of something, but for now, we just have to take it as it is. Also, don't try to do anything, else it would just increase how hard the punch would hit," Harold warned, knowing Andrew might try to do something."Fine" Andrew gritted his teeth. Though he was not willing, he had no other choice but to listen to Harlod.Ending the call, he collapsed on the sofa not knowing what else to do. What would be his next line of action?Seemed like he

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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

    (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
