Like any life-changing meetings, Richie's meeting with the Tyrant Empress was very normal.
That is, normal when you consider the everyday adventures of the Overcomer Richie.
His life had always been filled with perils and fights. Although he would only take missions that he liked and only would do around one to three missions every year, it was a sure success. And normally these missions he would accept usually had an entire organization as an enemy.
When Richie acted, an entire organization would immediately disappear.
At that time, he was hired to assassinate the leader of a secret organization that had an influence on several military generals in two continents. For some strange reason, the assassins that were sent all disappeared and didn't even leave a report or trigger any devices that would alert the clients of their demise.
And so, we find ourselves in the first major change for those who purchased the Ebook or those who read this chapter on Patreon.
Originally, in the Ebook and Patreon, this was one chapter. But because the word count of this chapter was nearing 4000 words, I decided to divide it into two while adding more details. Generally, those who purchased the Ebooks or supported me on Patreon back then wouldn't miss anything in the story as a whole. But certain character-building details have been added on this chapter and some minor details on the older chapters. This, of course, will change the total chapter count of the chapters.
Anyways, the reason for the divide is because of the spirit stones used to unlock. instead of spending 20+ stones on one chapter, at least, you would only spend 10+ chapters. This is beneficial for the current readers as well as the new ones who may be running out of power stones and are unable to unlock this chapter.
