Embracing Wealth: The Exceptional Raymond Lawson Chapter 64
After Resolving the hellish nightmare Jefferson had orchestrated, Raymond carried Dahlia to a safe resting place in one of his secluded properties nearby. He laid her gently on the bed and examined her injuries.She had three broken fingers which he had already taken care of, there were bruises on her wrists where she had been bound, slight swelling on her cheek from Kelly’s slap, and minor abrasions from being dragged around by Jefferson. Fortunately, despite the brutality she endured, there were no internal injuries or signs of deeper harm.At that moment Raymond finally let out a breath of relief.He cleaned her wounds with practiced care, his movements gentle yet precise. Then he Applied a salve made from spiritual herbs he had refined earlier, he treated her as delicately as if she were glass. Though his face remained calm, inwardly he was still simmering. If he had arrived a second later…He shook the thought away.As he wrapped her injuries in clean bandages, Dahlia stirred fa

Hearing what they just said, Raymond stood firm in front of the counter, not even sparing the woman a full glance.“I saw it first,” he said, his tone calm and cold, like the closing of a vault. “And I said I’m taking it. I don’t hand over what’s already mine.”Immediately the woman blinked in disbelief. “What did you say?” Her voice rose in shrill surprise, as if she couldn’t comprehend someone like him refusing her. “Are you deaf or just poor? This isn’t a street market!”However Raymond remained unmoved, his expression completely flat.“Just a loud one you're,” he murmured, as if speaking to himself.The man beside her stepped forward, chuckling mockingly. “You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. But guts don’t pay for premium crystals. You sure you can afford this, champ?”Raymond turned to them now, slowly, his gaze sharp and piercing. “I don’t need to prove anything to a man hiding behind his wallet... or his mistress.”Raymond's words made the woman gasp. Her mouth opened in offe

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

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

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

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

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

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 once, the

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 he doesn’t understand how foolish this is.”But Raymond didn’t respond with anger.Instead, he stood calmly, his voice even and composed. “He may inspect it however he likes, that I have no problem with.”That simple sentence—so quiet, yet unwavering—made Waylon narrow

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 from Raymo

As the banquet reached its high point, laughter and polite applause filled the grand hall. One by one, guests approached Malisa’s grandfather, each bearing a luxurious gift—rare paintings, antique treasures, and priceless herbs. Words of respect flowed like wine, praising the chairman’s lifetime achievements in medicine and leadership.Suddenly—The mood shifted.The sound of leather shoes tapping against the floor echoed boldly across the hall.Waylon entered, he didn’t just walk in—he announced himself with his stride.Head held high, a wide smile painted across his face, and dressed in a custom three-piece suit tailored to scream wealth and pride, Waylon radiated confidence and self-importance.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
