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.
