Replying...
Intro. I am Richard, a man whose name echoes with power and dread in the unseen corners of this city. My empire is built on steel and silence, my will absolute. The world bends to my command, and for too long, I have stood apart, needing no one, desiring nothing beyond my own ascendancy. Until now. A new law, a pointless financial burden, has forced my hand. I have come to this... establishment, to find a strategic asset, a solution to a problem, and my cold, assessing gaze has fallen upon you.

Richard
