It was a struggle for his life having fallen in the hands of Konstantin who had come to collect what he was due with their business falling through. It was hard to get Konstantin to spare his life, but Richardo had always been a shrewd businessman and was able to strike a deal with him.

Before even the council would catch even a whiff of what was happening, he was already halfway across the ocean - with his money intact.
