Richard Valkar’s Dominance Has Come Chapter 27
“What?!” Lydia screamed at Richard, her tone hostile. “Please move,” she eyed him with disdain and pressed his shoulder with the tip of her finger in an attempt to move him out of the way. Lydia leaned in to glimpse the price on the POS machine and began to laugh. “Ten thousand?” she said to Richard. “All you can afford is Ten thousand?”Though Richard remained quiet and calm, her behavior was infuriating.How long would he have to endure Lydia? he wondered.She folded her arms, her lips curling into a mocking sneer. “You’re such a smelling pauper,” she said with a loud and cutting voice. “So, after all your pretense of being something you’re not, look at you offering just Ten thousand dollars,” she mocked. “You can never ever compete with me, Richard, ever!”She stepped closer, “Please, I’d like to purchase this antique,” she said to the stall owner, pulling out her card.She then turned to Richard and eyed him one last time. “Please shift. With your cheap clothings, you still thi

The stranger, clearly not discouraged, smirked and waved his hand dismissively. “I don’t care who paid for it,” he said arrogantly. “I’ll pay double, even triple for that watch,” he concluded. Richard frowned. His expression remained cool, but there was an obvious shift in his posture and expression.He turned to the young man, his voice calm but tense. “I suggest you move aside,” Richard said. “The deal is already done. The item is no longer up for discussion.”Just then, a sharp, hostile voice rang out of nowhere.“Please shut the fuck up, man! Who the hell do you think you’re talking to?”Richard’s gaze snapped to the source, and his eyes narrowed when he saw who had spoken.It was Mateo, emerging from behind the man. The stranger laughed, his facade slipping as he exchanged a knowing look with Mateo. “This guy is really something else like you said,” he said to Mateo.That moment, the man dropped every pretense of genuine interest in the antique. At this point, it became clea

Kent’s eyebrow shot upward in surprise.Richard stepped closer to him, his eyes locked with Kent’s. “You must face the consequences of your actions,” he declared. Kent’s brows furrowed, “You can’t be serious right now.” He laughed. “See this one, whose skills I only wanted to manage, offering more than he’s worth,” he said, stylishly stepping back. “Let me tell you, my family would not think twice to retaliate if you dare to harm me!” he warned, his expression hardening.Richard smiled. With a quiet, measured movement, Richard seized Kent’s arm. And in one swift, deliberate motion, he twisted it with ease, snapping it with a quiet crunch. Before Kent could even process what had just happened, Richard delivered a powerful kick to his stomach, sending him crashing into his chair.“Arghhhh!” Kent groaned in intense pain. “Fuck!!”Richard took a step closer, his gaze fixed down on Kent. “This is just a simple warning,” he stated flatly.Without hesitation, the others fled, leaving Ken

Later in the afternoon, Richard and Janae arrived at an estate to visit a renowned local antique expert, Horace Blackwood. “I’m certain he will be able to appraise or restore the value of the antique.” Janae said as they walked to the front door. She had explained to Richard that Horace had extensive knowledge of antiques and was very wealthy. She vouched that he could appraise and also restore the value of the pocket watch if there was a need. Richard agreed, so he was here to determine the true value of the item he bought to avoid gifting Sir Wilson something cheap and inappropriate. Upon entering the house, they met a middle aged man in a suit waiting for them. “Good day, Ms Vester,” the man greeted, approaching her. He leaned in, brushing a light kiss against each of her cheeks in a gesture of familiarity and warmth. Janae smiled politely. “Hello, Mr Horace. It’s good to see you.” “Mr Horace, this is Mr Richard,” Janae began, gesturing toward Richard. “He’s b

“Fifty million dollars, what do you say?” Horace quickly made his offer known. Before Richard could answer, he quickly added, “Seventy million! It’s a once in a lifetime piece but this is surely a tempting price I’m offering.”“What do you say, Mr Richard?” he asked, his breath caught in his throat. Richard’s expression didn’t waver despite the mouth watering offer. “I appreciate the offer, but this item isn’t for sale,” he said, his tone firm but polite. “It’s meant as a gift for someone very important to me, an elder.”Horace sighed deeply, his shoulders dropping. Regret clouded his face, but a hint of admiration lingered in his eyes. “What a pity,” Horace murmured, shaking his head slowly. “Well It’s evident you can’t be swayed by wealth… I admire that,” he said, nodding. He glanced at the watch before offering Richard a resigned smile. “Then I’ll respect your decision, but know my doors are always open should you ever reconsider.”“Actually,” Richard began, and Horace’s eyes

Lydia, on the other hand, was fuming. “Dad! Why are you this excited over whatever is in that box?? You didn’t even show this much excitement for anyone else,” she said, stomping her feet. “Don’t you even think you deserve better than that tiny ass box from this country bumpkin?!” she exclaimed. Her father turned to her. “Lydia..” he began but he got interrupted by her sudden sarcastic laughter. “Oh!” She kept laughing then crossed her arms. “Did you really think whatever is in there was valuable?” she asked and turned to Richard. “Richard, won’t you tell him?”Richard’s brows furrowed slightly.“Won’t you tell them I saw you at the antique market today?” she said, her voice dripping with disdain. “Sorry to burst your bubble, dad, the antique in that box is merely a cheap find from a flea market.”“Don’t be deceived, It is far from a rare treasure!”Lydia’s sneering comment set off a ripple of laughter among the other family members. “Mr Richard, you had us all hooked for a secon

Sir Wilson’s birthday party was still in full swing with everyone wining, and dining, when Lydia’s phone suddenly rang. “Hey girl,” she said with excitement. “Happy birthday Layla!” “Thanks my love,” Layla replied, equally excited, though her voice was low, competing with the loud background of her birthday party. “Please extend my greetings to my birthday mate,” Layla added. “When will you be here? Everyone is waiting!” “I’ll be there soon,” Lydia replied and hung up. Lydia immediately ran to her father with an eager smile. “Dad, I want to leave now for Layla’s birthday party.” Sir Wilson raised a brow, considering her request. “Alright, you can…” Before Lydia could run off, he quickly suggested, “Why not take Richard along with you?” “Dad!” she exclaimed, her smile vanishing. Before she could protest further, he called out, “Richard! Richard!” and gestured for him to come over. “Richard,” Sir Wilson said warmly when he arrived. “Would you like to join Lydia at

One of his friends suddenly laughed, saying, “But you know you can find knockoffs of these pieces in flea markets. Are you sure what you have is not just a replica?”Whispered conversations of disagreement and sidelong glances followed his words, their initial astonishment fading. “Hmm. He might be right. It is most likely a scam.”“Think about it. How can it be worth millions of dollars? Not even one million, but seventy million,” another remarked, clicking his tongue repeatedly and shaking his head in doubt.Lydia’s cousin sneered, “can Richard even afford a thousand dollars that he’d gift something worth millions of dollars?”“Exactly.”Sir Wilson chuckled, shaking his head. “I think that’s enough,” he said, his voice soft but steady with authority. “This is no knockoff or replica. Believe it or not, it is a priceless masterpiece,” he paused then continued. “I’m sure most of you know Horace Blackwood…”Upon hearing the name of the prominent figure in the city’s antique world, all

“Take him down!” The remaining hundred and twenty men hesitated, but summoned courage and followed their boss’s order and shot forward. Richard’s chest rose and fell in ragged breaths, rage blazing in his eyes as they closed in with all their might. Cane watched in terror as Richard snapped necks, broke bones, and knocked many out, one man falling after the other. He was dumbfounded, deadly chills crawling down his spine. He had never seen anything like this. Richard was like a monster; he never expected him to be terribly strong. His strength was something no ordinary man could fathom–monstrous, terrifying, and beyond this world. Cane’s body trembled violently as he took steps back slowly, his widened eyes still fixed on Richard. Terrified, he ran to his car, grabbed the wooden box with his trembling hands and threw it on the floor.He hopped in his car and immediately sped off.Before Kent could flee, Richard was done with his men and already had him in his grasp.

Richard arrived at Blackridge a minute to eleven p.m. The entire area was dark, and quiet as no one lived there. It was more like a ghost town. Just as the clock ticked eleven, a searing, blinding light pierced through the darkened, flooding Richard’s vision. The glare came from multiple trucks hurtling toward him at very high speed. Richard knew it was Cane and he had brought men. He calmly watched their vehicles speed toward his, and he shook his head in pity of their future doom by his hands. Just as swiftly as they approached, they screeched to stop, leaving a calculated gap between them and Richard’s car. In perfect harmony, the doors of the trucks flung open. Over two hundred armed men stepped out, the sounds of their boots leaving a sickening sound echoing in the air.“The herb must be so important to you, I see,” a voice came from behind the men. And soon enough, Cane made his way to their front. Richard stepped out of his car.Just then, Richard noticed a familiar figu

“I've been seeing you hanging with Janae all night,” a voice filled with disdain came from behind Richard. Richard didn’t bother to turn, as he took a sip of his champagne, waiting for whoever it was to walk up to him. Cane chuckled darkly as he stepped in front of Richard, his eyes glinting with malice. But in the next instant, the amusement in his face vanished.He tilted his head, raising his eyebrow smugly. “You must be enjoying yourself,” he drawled. Richard didn’t bother looking up. He swirled the champagne in his glass. “Well, I was, until now.”Cane’s jaws tightened. “Why the fuck are you everywhere my Janae is??”Richard took a slow sip, casually looking around as if Cane’s words were nothing more than background noise. “My Janae? Interesting choice of words..”Cane’s nose flared as he struggled to keep his rage in check. He snapped his finger at Richard and sneered, “Stay away from her!”“Or what?” Richard finally locked eyes with him. Cane stepped closer, lowering his v

Later in the evening, Richard prepared to go for the banquet as planned– If for no other reason than to get the herb. He was still not over what had just happened a few hours ago. How could they have uttered such heavy accusations against him?? It was as if even Uncle Wilson didn’t completely believe that he was innocent. But Richard decided not to use words to prove his innocence. He would find who was behind this and make them regret ever being birthed. Would it turn out to be one of Richard’s enemies?Richard arrived at the venue and made his way to the grand hall of the hotel where the event was taking place. “Hey Richard?!” Janae called, scurrying towards him with a warm smile. She leaned in and greeted him with a light kiss on both cheeks. Richard stiffened for a brief moment as her gesture was far too familiar given their relationship, but he schooled his expression and accepted the greeting with a composed nod. “Thank you for coming,” she said.“Don’t mention, Ms Janae

Wilson’s grip loosened as his hands trembled, and the wine glass slipped from his hand, shattering against the marble floor. Without another word, he turned on his heels and dashed toward the door.Richard quickly raced to the table to grab his car keys, his heart pounding hard in his chest. “Uncle! I’ll drive.”The two raced to the car and Richard sped toward the company.The streets blurred past, but Sir Wilson barely noticed. He sat stiffly, his hands clenched into fists, and his breathing uneven.As they arrived, even before Richard brought the car to a full stop, Sir Wilson threw the door open and jumped out. He ran toward the burning building, his chest heaving as he took in the chaotic scene before him.There was smoke everywhere. Fire trucks surrounded the area, firefighters desperately trying to contain the blaze. Two familiar voices suddenly called out; “Darling!”“Dad!”Lady Wilson and Lydia rushed toward him, their faces etched with panic. Lady Wilson was sobbing. “Dar

***The following day, Richard woke up to his ringtone echoing loud in his ears. When he checked the time, he realized it was already late in the morning. He yawned and quickly answered his phone. “Good morning, Mr Richard,” a familiar came through. “Trust you had a good night's rest.”“Good morning, Ms Janae,” he greeted back and sat up on his king sized bed. “Yes, I did. Thank you.”“I was hoping you’d be free tonight…” she paused, “my family is hosting a banquet. We’re launching our new hotel, and I’d like you to come as a guest.”“Thank you, Ms Janae. But…”“You can just see this as a way of saying I'm sorry, considering how the auction went the other day…” Janae quickly said before he declined. “You don’t have to apologize for that,” Richard began, proceeding to decline the invite again, but Janae saw through him and quickly interrupted.“I knew you’d decline, Richard,” she said, sounding a bit too casual. “Actually, I found one of the rare herbs you’ve been looking for…”She

Richard raised his eyebrow as he listened to her ask endless questions.When she was done, he simply said, “I just know a little about medicine. I guess I was also lucky, that’s all.”“Hmm” Delilah wasn’t exactly satisfied with his response. She wanted more. “From what I found out, the technique you used is quite difficult and old… could it have been just luck?”Richard nodded. “Come to think of it, who is your master?” she suddenly asked. “Whose disciple are you?”“My master isn’t someone you would know…”“That’s true,” Delilah cut him, nodding. To her, there was no way she would know Richard’s master or have heard about him. Richard was a village doctor, after all. “What was I thinking, asking a village doctor about his master?” she chuckled. “Hmm… it must’ve been luck then,” she concluded, though she couldn’t shake the feeling that there could be more to Richard than she knew.“Please eat,” she said to him, gesturing to the food. But almost immediately, she continued. “Yes!”she

Meanwhile, as Richard drove back to his villa, two black jeeps suddenly blocked him in front of his car.Richard quickly stepped on the brake to avoid collision. His brows furrowed, wondering who they were and what they wanted from him. Almost immediately, two men stepped out of each jeep and walked to Richard’s mirror. *knock* *knock*One of them nonchalantly knocked on his window, asking for him to wind down, and he did. With a glance, Richard could guess they were one of Delilah’s men. “Good evening, Mr Richard,” one of the men greeted and bowed. “The war goddess has summoned you. Please, you have to come with us, right away.” Richard’s brows furrowed deeper, wondering what she wanted from him at this hour that couldn’t wait until tomorrow. Plus, he’d rather not be in the same space as her.“Whatever it is, can’t it be delivered as a message?” Richard asked. “No, Mr Richard. Please, kindly, come with us.”Richard heaved a sigh, clenching his jaw. He parked his car and deci

Everyone’s nose caught the smell, their faces twisting as they quickly covered their nose.Ew!After tracing the smell, they realized it was from Andrew. He had peed himself earlier out of terror and now, the smell was beginning to circulate. The cousins instinctively exchanged glances, their lips twitching as they fought back giggles. One of them bit down on their lower lip, while another quickly turned away, covering their mouth with a hand to stifle the laughter threatening to escape. But Andrew knew. His face burned with shame as he caught the slights tremors in their shoulders, the way they lowered their heads to mask their amusement.His fists clenched at his sides. He felt embarrassed, angry and humiliated.He glanced at his pants soaked with urine and felt like entering the ground. As the oldest in the family, he wondered how he could be in this situation right now. ‘Richard caused this! I’m going to kill that bastard!’He blamed Richard. To him, Richard was the sole re
