Richard Valkar’s Dominance Has Come Chapter 32
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

The imposing presence and fearsome reputation of Dario made everyone in the room scramble to distance themselves from the entrance.No one wanted to become the scapegoat of his wrath. Whispers grew louder, accusations flying in the air as they tried to shield themselves.A sharp feminine voice broke through the tension. “It’s you right?!” she hissed, her eyes narrowing at her partner. “You’re always causing trouble. I hope you’re not the one Dario’s after!”The man’s face drained of color, his body shaking visibly. “It’s not me!” he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. He held the edge of the table tight as he silently prayed, his breath shallow, wishing with everything he had that it wasn’t him. Suddenly, Lydia’s voice rang out, sharp and condescending. She pointed directly at Richard, “it’s you,” she said, her voice filled with certainty. “I know it’s you!”She turned to everyone and repeated. “It’s him! I know. He must have offended Dario.”“Pretty lady, are you sure of thi

Dario was infamous for his unparalleled ruthlessness, with terrifying rumors surrounding anyone who crossed him. He was known to many as a beast.Yet, Richard looked Dario directly in the eye, showing no fear and remaining completely relaxed. Dario’s face was a mask of cold, menacing calm, his piercing gaze locking onto Richard intensely.His face was set in a stern expression, his lips slightly curled in a sneer, as if daring Richard to break the silence. But Richard remained quiet, his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on Dario. In the room also were Dario’s huge, muscular bodyguards, each holding different types of weapons, their eyes fixed on Richard with unwavering hostility.Dario’s boots thudded against the floor as he strode toward Richard, his steps measured. It was like the cold, domineering air around him sucked the air out of the room. He stopped mere inches from Richard, his icy gaze boring into him. But Richard didn’t flinch. Dario smirked at Richard’s calm

Richard’s gaze darkened at the mention of Delilah’s name, her name bringing frustration to him. “Delilah??”“Yes, boss,” Dario answered. “Kent’s father is her uncle.”“I see,” Richard nodded, his voice low. He straightened, his tone colder now. “Deal with Kent however you see fit. But under no circumstances are you to reveal my identity. Do you understand?”Dario nodded fervently. “Of course, boss. Your wish is my command.”“Good,” Richard said.Normally, Richard’s temper would have led Kent to suffer severe consequences, but considering Kent’s ties to Delilah, Richard chose leniency. After all, if his engagement with Delilah couldn’t be dissolved in the future, he might have to accept Delilah as family. This compelled him to exercise caution. “Rise,” Richard ordered, his voice calm yet firm. Dario immediately shook his head, his voice slightly trembling. “Boss, no, please! We don’t deserve to rise. If you wish, we’ll stay in this position for the rest of the day. We deserve noth

Sir Wilson sighed deeply, running his fingers through his hair. Several thoughts raced through his mind all at once that it felt like his head was about to explode. His entire being was immersed in grief. Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, making him snap out of his thoughts. *knock* *knock*Sir Wilson’s head jerked toward the door, his brows furrowing.All the guests had already left, so there shouldn’t be any visitors at this time, he thought. Curious about who it could be, he glanced at his wife, hurried to the door and opened it. His eyes flew wide open when he saw Richard standing behind the door. “Richard!” he called, his voice barely above a whisper. Lydia’s tear streaked face froze, her brows snapping together the moment she heard the name. She crawled forward to confirm what she just heard. She and her mother exchanged stunned glances, her expression a mix of anger and confusion. “What the fuck!” she whispered to her mother. How could Richard emerge un

Dario chuckled, lowering his head briefly before lifting his gaze back to Kent’s father. “Your threats,” he said, his lips curling into a faint smirk, “mean very little.”Kent’s brows furrowed deeply at Dario’s words. His tone was calm, almost bored. He locked his steely gaze on Kent’s father, showing not a hint of concern. “You can rely on whoever you want,” he said. “It will only change little to nothing.”“Now, leave,” he concluded with a commanding tone and sat down calmly. “You are going to regret this,” Kent began but Dario didn’t bother and paid him no attention. Instead he turned to his bodyguard. “Get rid of these pests,” he ordered dismissively. Kent clenched his fists tighter, his jaw tight with suppressed anger, while his father adjusted his coat with deliberate slowness and stood up. The bodyguards urged them forward, and escorted them till they were completely out of the building. The moment they got outside, Kent stormed a few steps forward before kicking a nearb

“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
