Embracing Wealth: The Exceptional Raymond Lawson Chapter 53
After Jefferson and Kelly were carried away, the atmosphere outside the venue finally began to settle. The air, once heavy with pressure, now felt light, now breathable. However Raymond didn’t look back. His steps were steady, calm, and unhurried as he walked beside Malisa and Dr. Damien. The chaos they had just walked through seemed like a closed chapter—one Raymond had never been worried about in the first place.At that moment Malisa walked a little closer to him than usual. She didn’t say much, but her eyes kept stealing glances at Raymond’s face. There was something different about him—something deeper than confidence. It was the kind of presence that didn’t need loud words or anger to prove anything. It was the way he remained calm even when everyone else was panicking. That kind of strength couldn't be taught. It could only be earned.However Dr. Damien, on the other hand, was not as quiet.At that moment he cleared his throat softly, as if preparing to ask something importan

Seeing that Raymond remained unmoved by her subtle flirtation, Malisa felt a small wave of disappointment rise in her chest. She lowered her eyes for a moment, hiding the faint flicker of embarrassment.Then she quickly composed herself. From the little she has known about Raymond she could tell he's not the type to be easily swayed by charm or a playful glance. She should’ve expected this. Still, she had hoped for… something, maybe a reaction, a sign.But instead, all she got was his quiet calm, his steady voice telling her it was time to go.She didn't push any further.Then she stood up, but the Alcohol was beginning to take effect on her now, her legs weren't that strong on the ground anymore.Immediately Raymond walked closer to her.“let me help you”Malisa didn't say anything but agreed.They stepped out of the warm, romantic glow of the private room and into the softly lit corridor that led back to the restaurant entrance. Just as they turned a corner, heading toward the exit

Upon hearing what Caleb just said Raymond's jaw tightened a little, he wasn't expecting Caleb to lie so boldly—so shamelessly, right to Dahlia’s face.Standing just a few steps away, he could hear every word. He had no intention of turning back or getting involved further, but Caleb’s voice was impossible to ignore, especially as it dripped with false pride, claiming credit for something he had absolutely no hand in.Then Raymond paused for a second, his expression hardened.Caleb’s tone was smug as he smiled at Dahlia, acting as though he were the hero of the night. “I thought you needed a little lift—something that would make you feel special on your birthday.”Malisa, still by Raymond’s side, shot Caleb a cold glance, her patience snapping. “Unbelievable,” she muttered. “ I can't believe he really said that with a straight face?”Raymond’s voice was low but calm. “Let it go.”“But he’s lying. And she believes him,” Malisa said, frustrated, she saw and heard everything, and she c

Upon hearing what Jefferson just said, Caleb was stunned, sitting frozen on the cold warehouse floor. His face still burned from Jefferson’s slap, and his heart pounded like a drum in his chest.“Raymond… did all that?” he whispered in disbelief. “Just him alone?”Jefferson stared at him like he was looking at a complete idiot. “Yes! One man. He humiliated me in front of everyone, crushed my uncle with a single technique, and walked out untouched. You told me he was nothing. You said I didn’t need to take him seriously.”Immediately Caleb swallowed hard. He never imagined that the man he once looked down on could be capable of such destruction. How could he have misjudged him so badly?Then Jefferson’s face twisted with more rage. “I should break your legs right here and now. You’re the reason we walked into that disaster blind!”The moment he heard those words, Caleb’s face turned pale.“Wait—no, no, no—please, Jefferson!” Caleb cried, throwing himself on the floor. “Don’t do this

However, to avoid any unexpected incidents or interference like last time, Jefferson gave a cold, firm order. “Bring Dahlia out tomorrow,” he said to Caleb. “No delays. No mistakes this time. The longer we wait, the more risk we invite. You get one shot.” Caleb, still trembling but eager to prove himself, and out of this situation immediately, he nodded quickly. “Understood. Tomorrow—I’ll handle it personally. Everything will go smoothly.” Jefferson gave him one last glare before waving him off. Caleb turned and hurried out of the warehouse, his mind already spinning with ideas of how to lure Dahlia into the trap without arousing suspicion. As the echo of Caleb’s footsteps faded into the distance, a strange stillness returned to the warehouse. But Jefferson didn’t move. He didn’t even flinch when a faint rustling sound came from the corner, followed by the deliberate, slow steps of someone approaching from the darkness. A shadow emerged—tall, pale, and terrifying. It was Kell

After a full night of cultivation, Raymond’s eyes slowly opened, revealing a glint sharper than ever before. The early morning light filtered through the trees above, but Raymond barely noticed. His senses were heightened. His blood surged with strength. Every breath he drew felt like he was absorbing the very essence of heaven and earth.At that moment He stood up slowly, his clothes fluttering slightly from the energy pulsing around him. He clenched his fists, testing his body, and the surge of spiritual power coursing through his veins was undeniable.He had broken through another stage, His strength wasn’t just restored—it had grown exponentially now stage two, he can now use more energy sprite now.

At Dalora Enterprises, the atmosphere was lively and upbeat that morning. News of the major investment from Zachary Holdings had revitalized the entire company. Staff were moving with renewed energy, and whispers of more opportunity to come.Just as the employees were settling in, Caleb arrived at the front reception, dressed smartly in a dark blue suit. He walked with confidence, a faint smile playing on his lips as if he were already savoring the victory ahead. When he stepped into the executive floor, Deborah, Dahlia’s secretary, greeted him like royalty.“Mr. Caleb,” she said with a bright smile, practically glowing. “You’re amazing. Not everyone can pull off a deal with Zachary Holdings. It's no more secret if I say you’re the one who truly deserves Miss Dahlia. To think you did this all in secret for her birthday—how romantic of you.”Upon hearing what Deborah just said Caleb gave a modest chuckle and waved her off, though inside, he relished every word. “It’s nothing,” he sa

Meanwhile, back at Dalora Enterprises, the company was still buzzing from the excitement of the new investment and waiting for Dahlia to return with the contract at hand. But the buzz turned into stunned silence the moment a sharply dressed man stepped out of a luxury car and entered the lobby. “Good morning,” he said with practiced politeness. “I’m Zachary Callum. I’m here to meet Ms. Dahlia to sign the investment contract in person.” At the reception desk, Deborah’s face went blank with confusion, seeing Zachary in person, however his words made her not pay attention to him the manner in which she would have loved to. “I… I’m sorry, sir, but she already left,” Deborah stammered. “She said she was meeting you—Mr. Caleb came to pick her up himself, saying it was a private signing.” Immediately Zachary’s eyes sharpened. “Caleb? Caleb?” He didn't know the person but he can't dismiss the possibility of his name being used. “Yes,” Deborah nodded. “He said you asked him to accompany

Some people leaned forward in anticipation. Others frowned in disbelief.But one thing was clear: something about Raymond’s plain wooden box had stirred the attention of the banquet’s most knowledgeable man.And now… everyone wanted to know if it was fake or real.At that moment Waylon folded his arms, a confident grin forming on his face as Maxwell stood close to the chairman with focused steps. Though Maxwell’s interest puzzled many, Waylon remained convinced—there was no way Raymond's pill could outshine his. Even if it was real, how could it possibly compare to a gift from a second-level alchemist? So instead of stopping Maxwell, Waylon turned toward Raymond and sneered. “Well then, Raymond,” he said, loud enough for everyone to hear, “do you even dare to let Mr. Maxwell inspect it? Or are you just hoping no one looks too closely at your little trinket?” More laughter rippled through the hall. “Probably bought it from some back alley.” “He doesn’t look nervous at all… maybe

Raymond stood quietly near the center of the hall, his presence calm, his posture straight, yet utterly unbothered by the awe swirling around Waylon’s pill. While guests gasped and praised the rarity of a second-level alchemist’s work, Raymond’s eyes drifted lazily toward the pill inside the jade box. With just one glance, that was all he needed. From the texture, the glow, and the faint medicinal scent in the air, he immediately saw through it—it was indeed made by a second-level alchemist, but the refining process lacked purity. The spiritual energy was unstable, the balance flawed. It would barely extend a life by two or three years at best, and if taken carelessly, might even cause internal disruption to someone with delicate meridians. It was flashy, but hollow, Raymond showed no admiration. No awe. Not even a raised brow. He simply stood in silence, hands behind his back. And that silence… was noticed. Waylon, still basking in the praise, caught the lack of expression fro

Upon noticing the shift in the room Several guests turned at once. “Isn’t that Young Master Waylon from the Lancaster family?” “He looks... unusually proud today.” “What’s he planning?” However Waylon didn’t disappoint, and seeing all eyes on him, made his shoulder raise even more. This was what he wanted in the first place, attention, full attention, and he was getting it. With his head and shoulders raised even higher like a peacock He marched straight toward the stage where Malisa’s grandfather stood and, with a theatrical bow, extended a jade box in both hands, his voice intentionally loud enough for everyone to hear. “This year, I’ve prepared a very special gift for the chairman,” Waylon declared, full of flourish. “A gift I know no one in this room would even come close to beating.” At that moment he allowed his words to hit everyone before he continued. “A pill personally crafted by a second-level alchemist.” Upon hearing what Waylon just said Gasps er

The grand banquet hall buzzed with quiet conversations and elegant laughter as Raymond followed Malisa further inside. The soft hum of string instruments drifted from a raised platform near the stage, and the scent of fine cuisine lingered in the air. Then came a sudden voice, full of excitement. “Brother Raymond!” Immediately a man rushed over in a finely tailored navy-blue suit—young, well-groomed, and practically glowing with energy. It was Malisa’s cousin, the one Raymond had told what he needed to do to treat his fertility problems. “Brother Raymond, you’re amazing!” he blurted out, his eyes shining. “That prescription you gave me—it worked! I mean, it really worked!” He leaned in a little closer and lowered his voice conspiratorially. “Not only did it fix the problem, but I feel stronger than I ever did before. Like… really powerful,” he added, raising his brows as if trying not to say too much in front of his female relatives. Hearing what he just said Raymond blinked on

The banquet venue was grand—luxurious without being told one could tell how much was put into it, decorated with understated gold and ivory, adorned with fresh lilies and warm ambient lighting. Outside the entrance, rows of high-end cars lined the driveway, while suited guards and black-tie guests moved about in quiet elegance.This wasn’t just a birthday banquet.It was a gathering of power, elite in the city.The guest list was a tapestry of the city's upper echelon: medical elites, representatives of major families, investment magnates, and several senior members of the Medical Association. All had come to celebrate the birthday of Chairman Nathaniel, the president of the city’s medical association—Malisa’s grandfather.Whispers passed between clusters of guests as the hall bustled.“Did you see the Westbrook delegation just arrived? And that’s Dr. Herman from the National Research Council…”Everyone knew the banquet was more than just a birthday—it was a display of power and conn

Waylon’s hatred for Raymond deepened like a wound left to rot.As he paced the floor of his private study, his eyes bloodshot, fists clenched at his sides, he couldn’t suppress the fury building inside him.‘Raymond’He couldn't believe that damn man had appeared at just the right time to ruin everything. Again.“First, he’d taken the spotlight in healing Malisa's grandfather, Then, he had miraculously stopped Malisa from talking to him before. Now… now, he’d interfered with a plan that I had spent days carefully crafting—a plan meant to make Malisa mine, whether she wanted it or not.”Immediately Waylon slammed his fist into the oak table, cracking the polished surface.“Raymond…” he growled through gritted teeth. “I don’t care who you are, or what you can do—sooner or later, I’ll find a way to eliminate you.”But even in his seething rage, Waylon wasn’t done with Malisa.His obsession in using her to get her family wealth ran too deep.“I’ll still marry her, and get what I want no

Then Raymond pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped the remaining sweat from her forehead.“I suspect the same person responsible for poisoning your grandfather… also drugged you tonight.”Malisa looked at him, her expression tightening with focus.Raymond continued, his tone clipped but clear, like he was putting pieces together out loud.“The symptoms you displayed—the rapid pulse, flushed skin, mental disorientation—were almost identical to what I observed in your grandfather, only more concentrated and faster-acting. His poisoning was slow and hidden over time, meant to weaken him gradually. Yours was abrupt, meant to take effect within minutes. But the toxin base was the same. The way it attacked the internal balance… the method of disruption... it all followed the same structure.”He narrowed his eyes slightly.“Whoever created the original poison likely just modified it. This wasn’t random—it was personal. And well-prepared.”Upon hearing what Raymond just said Malisa’s eye

After leaving the store, Raymond and Malisa entered the car. The doors closed with a soft click, shutting out the outside world, and the convoy of luxury vehicles rolled into motion.At that moment the cabin was quiet—only the soft hum of the engine and the faint breath of air-conditioning. Malisa sat beside Raymond, composed as ever… At first, but not long after, her breathing began to shift.It started as a slight twitch in her fingers—then her shoulders shifted, and her back subtly arched.Then she started fanning herself gently with her hand, even though the air inside the car was cool.Raymond turned to her.“You alright?” he asked, his tone low.However Malisa didn’t answer. Her lips were slightly parted now, her breaths shallow.At that moment a light sheen of sweat glistened at the base of her neck. Her chest rose and fell rapidly beneath her fitted silk blouse.Then she turned her face toward him, and Raymond immediately noticed—her eyes had gone hazy, unfocused, as if her bo

Outside Celestium Vault, the arrival of over a dozen luxury vehicles had drawn a growing crowd of onlookers. Curious pedestrians paused, phones raised, recording the fleet of black cars lined up in perfect formation. The black-suited bodyguards, the commanding woman who entered with an air of untouchable authority, and finally, the mysterious man who emerged shortly after, casually stepping into one of the lead vehicles under the respectful escort of the guards—it was the kind of scene usually reserved for royalty or billionaires.One onlooker captured the entire moment, zooming in as Raymond entered the car. Though his face wasn’t visible, the way he carried himself—calm, powerful, indifferent to all the attention—was unforgettable.The video went viral within hours of posting it.“Who is this man?”“Look at those cars! That’s not money—that’s status.”“He’s definitely someone from the upper circle... maybe even more.”“Does anyone recognize him? He doesn’t look like any of the known
