After hearing the employee mention the black card, a ripple of murmurs spread across the lobby.

Some whispered in awe, while others stared in disbelief, trying to catch a glimpse of the big wig holding the black card!

“Oh my God! It’s really the Supreme black card!” Ty Dwayne, one of the city’s elite exclaimed in a low tone.

The Supreme black card was an extremely rare symbol with only a few dozen people in the world possessing one.

While only five people in Kora had it.

It represented the highest of the highest wealth and status, reserved for the ultra rich.

The employee straightened up, “P-please, this way, sir,” she said, nervously leading him to the verification area.

Richard calmly strode behind her, paying zero attention to the murmurs.

The eyes of the customers followed the card as he moved, gazing at it with curiosity and surprise.

Lydia, who was conducting her business at a nearby desk couldn’t help but notice the commotion.

Her eyes narrowed in curiosity, and then widened in shock as she spotted the black card in Richard’s hand.

“Wait… is that the Supreme black card?” she murmured, shifting to catch a better glimpse. “How on earth does he have that??”

Her mind instantly began to race with doubts but also thoughts that she might have been wrong about Richard.

“No… it can’t be. He’s just some broke nigga, right? There’s no way he’s connected to something this rare and exclusive.”

Is this really real? she thought.

“Please place your right finger here,” the employee instructed.

Without hesitation, Richard pressed his right finger onto the sensor.

Suddenly, the system set off a loud alarm, echoing through the room.

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*

Richard’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Wait! His fingerprint did not match the cardholder’s?“ a customer said.

“Tch. I knew it! His looks don’t match the aura. I’m sure he must have stolen his boss’s black card hoping to wipe away some funds.”

Others quickly joined in, muttering side comments.

The employee, already growing upset, began to think she might’ve been right to judge Richard by his appearance.

She forced a polite smile and said, “Sir, place your finger again.”

The moment Richard placed his finger, the system blared again.

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*

She glared at him intensely, her eyes blazing with anger. “Where did you get this card from, you thief!” she said, through her clenched teeth.

Without letting him respond, she snapped. “A man like you with a Supreme black card? This scam is ridiculous,” she scoffed.

“You know, you almost fooled me and everyone for a second.” she said, her voice dripping with mockery, “let me guess, you stole it from your rich boss?”

“Ma’am,” Richard calmly started but got interrupted.

“Shut up! I am going to call the police right away. You can keep whatever you have to say for the police, you smelling thief.”

Lydia couldn’t help but chuckle at the drama going on.

”Tch. I knew there was a mistake somewhere. How could Richard own a supreme black card?” She said, shaking her head in pity.

Despite the chaos, Richard was surprisingly calm.

“Please, I’d like to see your manager,” he simply said.

“He wants to see the manager. This man is shameless,” someone remarked loudly, making everyone, including Lydia, laugh.

“Broke and arrogant, typical Richard,” Lydia murmured, shaking her head and chuckling.

“Why haven’t you called the police yet?” An old man shouted at the employee. “Is it until he steals from us?”

Others joined in, expressing their dismay at a thief; Richard, around them.

Lydia couldn’t help but be embarrassed on his behalf that she got angry and left the bank.

The employee picked the desk phone and began to contact the police.

Just then, a deep authoritative voice echoed, “What Is going on here?”

It was the bank manager, Mr Goulder.

Silence instantly filled the room.

“Are you all now deaf and dumb?” he turned to his employees, but no one dared to speak.

“Good day sir, I’m Richard,” he said calmly. “I’m having trouble verifying my black card…”

The manager’s eyes widened in recognition. “Mr Richard!” he exclaimed, his tone shifting as if he knew him.

Turning sharply to the employee, he barked, “Are you new here?!”

“Don’t you know that any Supreme Black Card holder should be reported to senior management for verification, rather than jumping to conclusions about its authenticity?”

The employee began to apologize but the manager ignored her and faced Richard.

“Please come with me sir,” he said and escorted him to the VIP area.

When they got there, he offered him a seat and a glass of wine.

“Sir, may I have the card,” he asked and collected it.

After a while, the manager successfully completed the identity verification and placed a call for the cash to be prepared.

And almost immediately, the cash arrived.

“Thank you very much, Mr Goulder,” Richard said and stood up to leave.

The manager quickly stood up, “Please take this, Mr Richard,” he said, stretching forth a complementary diamond card from the bank.

Richard’s brows shot up in surprise, but he remained composed and accepted it.

“And here is my business card,” he added and gave it to Richard. “Please contact me directly whenever you need to conduct any business here at Fern.”

“Thank you for choosing Fern,” he said and bowed.

“Thank you,” Richard smiled.

He went on to open the door for Richard and personally escorted him out of the bank.

On getting outside, Richard took out his phone and called Janae.

She answered after the first ring, sounding surprised, “Hello doctor! I wasn’t expecting to hear from you.”

“Good day, Ms Janae, he said politely. “I need your help with something urgent. I’m trying to acquire a few rare herbs to treat someone’s illness, but I do not have the connections to find them quickly in this city…”

“I was hoping you might be able to assist,” he concluded.

Richard decided to ask for her help because he knew finding those herbs on his own would take a lot of time.

“That won’t be so difficult,” she replied. “but I’m currently busy so I can’t meet you right now, I’ll reach out once I’m free.”

“Alright, thank you,” Richard said and hung up.

At the moment, Janae was in her home with Delilah sitting across from her.

She cautiously glanced at Delilah as her nerves were already starting to strain.

Delilah was far more powerful than the entire Vester family, and just her stunning beauty and strong presence was more than enough to make Janae extremely nervous.

Earlier today, she had contacted Janae, saying she wanted to meet to discuss something personally.

But Janae had no idea what the mighty War Goddess wanted from her.

Delilah softened her expression and smiled warmly. “Please don’t be nervous, I mean no harm. I’m only here to seek for your help.”

Janae’s brows knitted in confusion, “my help?” she murmured, wondering what kind of help a powerful woman like Delilah would need from her.

“Yes, Ms Janae,” Delilah replied. “I heard that Sir Vester had been seriously ill but made a rapid recovery after being treated by a mysterious young doctor..”

Janae nodded slowly.

“..Please, could you help me contact him?”

    “Oh,” Janae muttered, her brows lifting as she realized that the high figure Dr Ben had mentioned to Richard at her house was actually Delilah. Delilah’s expression became serious. “If you can provide me with information about this Doctor, I would owe your family a favor,” she said. “A favor I promise to honor whenever you might need my help,” she added, leaning forward with a deliberate tone and her steady gaze fixed on Janae’s.Janae’s brows knitted together as she glanced down, biting her lower lips, uncertain but giving the offer a thought. Janae was aware of Delilah’s power and influence, and knew that with her support, her family’s prospects could significantly improve, but she was still hesitant.She remembered that Richard didn’t want to help Dr Ben. And she didn’t want to go against his wishes just for her family’s gain, especially after knowing how great his medical skill was. ‘Offending Dr. Richard isn’t an option,’ she thought.

    Richard stood upright and answered the call. Despite what had just happened, none of them had the guts to stand up to Richard or face him head-on. “Hello Ms. Janae.” “Good day Dr Richard. I’ve made a reservation at the Clubhouse Jairo, please meet me there now,” a soft voice came through the other end. “Clubhouse Jairo?” Richard repeated, his tone calm. Hearing Richard mention Clubhouse Jairo, murmurs broke out immediately. “Did he just say Clubhouse Jairo?” Layla whispered, her tone laced with disbelief. Another gasped. “That’s the most exclusive place in the city! You need connections just to get through the doors.” “Chill! Did you guys also hear him say Janae? Like Janae Janae?” Janae was from the city’s wealthiest family and was admired by many so how was Richard speaking to her right now? They wondered. “Alright, thank you. I’ll be there,” Richard concluded and hung up, preparing to leave when one of the guys hesitantly stopped him. His voice was trem

    Cane’s brows furrowed when he noticed the strange reactions of the group. “Did the loser also mention Jairo Clubhouse?” he asked. “He did...” Cane’s brows shot up, his eyes widening as a flicker of realization crossed his face before it hardened with his jaw tightening. “Are you serious?” he demanded, his voice laced with irritation. His jaws clenched tighter, anger brewing within him as suspicion crept in– will this loser actually be meeting Janae? “Cane, you don’t have to worry,” Lydia quickly said, shaking her head, “Knowing that bastard’s background, he was definitely lying.” She continued, “Don’t tell me you guys are falling for his tricks just because the information matched. He must have overhead somewhere that Janae would be at Jairo today and intentionally fabricated the story..” “Hmm,” Layla interrupted. “Well, despite knowing that loser for a short period of time, I know he is capable of it.” Cane’s eyes narrowed as their words sank in.

    Elliot excitedly raced to the grand entrance of the restaurant. Without hesitation, he walked up to an elegantly dressed couple approaching the entrance.“Hello,” he greeted, eagerly holding up the card. “I have a special offer for you…” The man barely glanced at him before saying, “Not interested.” He then pushed him out of his way with a finger as if swatting an annoying fly. But Elliot blocked their path again with a polite smile. “It’s..” he began, only to be cut off by the woman. She sniffed, her eyes scanning him disdainfully. “Who let a filthy beggar like you stay around here? Get out of my sight now you scumbag!” His face fell. “I’m sorry,” he said and left. Elliot saw a group of men chatting close by so he tried again. “Excuse me,” he said confidently. “Please, can I have a moment? I think you’ll be interested in my special offer.”He held the card up to them, but they kept chatting like he was invisible. Elliot, however, moved closer, trying to get their attention.

    Delilah was seated in her sleek office, reviewing documents when a knock interrupted the quiet. “Come in,” she answered, her focus still on the documents. A young lady gently stepped in. “Ma’am,” she bowed. “I bring news about the miraculous doctor.”Delilah’s gaze froze before she looked up at her. “Yes?”“News just came in that the Runo family have just obtained and activated an exclusive Miracle card.”Delilah’s eyes instantly lit, her brows shooting upward. “The Runo family have the exclusive Miracle card?” she repeated. “Yes ma’am”“But how?” she whispered, her brows furrowing slightly. Delilah couldn’t help but wonder how they were able to get their hands on the card when even her couldn’t. For the past few days, she had been trying to get her hands on one of the cards, but her efforts have been to no avail. “Are you sure of this?” she asked. “Yes ma’am,” the young lady replied. “It was confirmed some minutes ago.”“Interesting,” she murmured. “Get the car ready now.” A

    Richard arrived at the location designated by who activated the card, waiting for them to send someone to meet him.It was an outdoor dining area. Upon arrival, after Richard gave certain information to the server, she led him to the reserved seat Dustin had already paid for. And moments later, she brought Richard a glass of wine. “Thank you,” he said, engrossed in the details from his master and wondering who had activated the card. Just then, a luxury car pulled up in front, and Dustin stepped out. When he looked in the reserved area, he saw Richard sitting there. His expression instantly hardened. “Tch. I don’t know why this bastard is here,” he whispered, guessing it was merely a coincidence. Dustin then scanned the area, searching intently for any sign of the doctor, but when he didn’t see any sign of him, he reluctantly glanced back at Richard who was sipping his wine.“The doctor must be running late,” Dustin muttered, stealing a glance at his watch before approaching Ri

    Her breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening as she froze in place like a statue.‘Why is he here? Is he the miracle doctor?’ she thought.‘Is this some joke?!’She resumed from her faltered steps after regaining her composure. Sir Runo on the other hand also appeared doubtful, his brows furrowing as he struggled to reconcile Richard’s ordinary appearance with the legendary reputation of the miracle doctor. The man before him looked too young to be the miracle doctor. He scanned Richard from head to toe, his face contorting in confusion. Or has Dustin brought the wrong person? he thought before giving Dustin a quick glare as if asking, ‘what’s happening here? Who is he?’“Hey dad! The doctor is here,” Dustin said.As Richard turned to see who had walked into the room, his expression hardened immediately. Not expecting to see anyone who wasn’t a part of the Runo family, Delilah Morrigan was here, standing in this same room. “Why is she here?” Richard asked, his tone cold an

    Although initially skeptical, Sir Runo fully trusted Richard after witnessing his accurate diagnosis. Richard’s ability to identify the issue instantly confirmed his status as a true miracle doctor in his eyes. Sir Runo glanced at Richard who was now focused on picking out the specific acupuncture needles he’d need for the treatment. “Move out of the way,” Sir Runo ordered the butler and walked out, deciding to handle Delilah personally.When he got outside, Delilah marched towards him with a serious expression. “I need to see the card,” she said.“Goddess,” Sir Runo said, “I’m sorry. The card… it’s in the young man’s possession now.”“What?!” Her eyes narrowed. “You handed it over to him?”“I had no choice,” he replied, his voice firm. “I had to follow the requirements of the card…”“How could you trust that man?? A nobody?” she interrupted him and scoffed, crossing her arms. “You have to take the card back.”“I’m sorry, the card can not be retrieved once returned.”“What!” Delila

    “Ehhh!!” She screamed in shock, awe and excitement as her eyes darted to the rest of her family members. “Richard is the Supreme Commander??”Sir Vester was beyond stunned. He had zero idea. The Vester family were now back to their villa. Though, the air between the family was still thick with tension as Collin was yet to clear his name off the accusation of his father.And Sir Vester was not ready to listen to his baseless claims. But the public scrutiny was over, and Collin’s name was now cleared after he made a public apology. The antidotes Richard had provided worked perfectly well and everyone was now in good health. Josh, on the other hand, was now in police custody facing trial. The family members were utterly stunned in their seats as their eyes darted around at each other in the living room.

    ***The streets of Kora trembled with anticipation. Crowds had lined both sides of the wide, cleared road by the city gates. Men, women, and children, all gathered to witness the return of their warriors. Will they come back victorious? Or will their bodies and remains be sent back home? They could only wait to find out. Then, a deep rumble echoed through the city. The first army truck rolled into view. A wave of silence passed over the crowd for a split second, as if they held their breath—then an eruption of cheers shook the air. “They did it! They won!” “Whoa! We won!”“The great warriors of Kora have returned!” People clapped and waved the banners of their country high, their voices blending into a triumphant roar. “Oh my god! I can’t believe we actually did it!” Some wept, overwhelmed by relief. If they had lost the battle, Ashton would have taken over the entire Kora. And by now, they’d have probably been getting ready to become slaves in their own land. Others

    Then Richard grabbed the sword from its sharp blade, its sharpness tearing his flesh as blood trickled down the blade. Uh! The Ashton commander and warrior furrowed their brows, taken aback just for a second. But that second was all Richard needed. Before they knew it, Richard pulled the sword out of his flesh and sliced both their throats with just one swift, precise and deadly motion on one foot.The next second, his wounds healed completely as if nothing had happened. Before their blood could even stain the dirt, his wounds had sealed before their very widened eyes. His flesh knitted itself together as if untouched, as if the injury had never happened.Across the battlefield, Delilah stood frozen, her breath caught in her throat. She had happened to see everything play out.She had seen the impossible.Her heart pounded, as her eyes widened. What... did I just witness?She gasped, her grip tightened around her sword as disbelief swirled in her eyes. "This..." she whispered, her

    Another Ashton warrior sneered as he dodged a desperate strike from a Kora fighter. “Pathetic. Do you even know how to wield a sword, or did they just hand you one and hope for the best?” He asked, making the others around him burst into laughter. “They weak as fuck!”“Haha. I expected more, can’t lie.”A Kora soldier gritted his teeth in pain, panting as he barely blocked an incoming strike. “You talk too much,” he spat, forcing himself to his feet. The Ashton warrior smirked, effortlessly pushing him back. “And you fight too little.” Without wasting time, he sent the Kora soldier crashing to the ground, the tip of his blade pressing against his throat. “Run. If you want to live.” But the Kora soldier refused to move. He knew this was the end for him as he had no ounce of strength left in him. He spat “I’d rather die than flee.” “Suit yourself,” the Ashton warrior said, raising his sword— —only to be met with a deadly slash from Richard, who appeared in a flash, his blade

    Two weeks later, the warriors of Kora took the sacred journey to The Vale of Blades. Would this be a journey of no return for them? They could only strive to find out.Dawn after dawn, dusk after dusk, they had trained relentlessly alongside the forces of their three powerful allies. Sweat and blood mixed with the earth beneath their feet as they sharpened their skills, their minds and resolve. Every morning had begun with the clash of swords; every night had ended with aching muscles and bruises, yet not once had they faltered. Richard was more than ready for this. His warriors were just as ready to put their lives on the line for their nation. They had toiled under the weight of expectation, under the pressure of the war to come. Now, the time had arrived. Today, they would fight until their last drop of blood was shed and until they drew their final breath.They arrived at the large battle field and were now standing in place; the warriors of Kora to the right and the warrior

    “In the light of that, I have three special guests here to meet you all,” he said with a bright smile. Everyone began to look around for the guests. And just then, the steel door opened and three foreign commanders walked in. They were dressed like commanders but in different uniforms. Everyone turned to look at the three figures who had just entered. Their uniforms were foreign and their faces were unfamiliar. A murmur of confusion rippled through the ranks. Who were they?Had Richard brought in commanders to train them? If so, what was the point? Training was important, but they didn’t have the luxury of time. They thought. There was no drill, no technique, no strategy they could master in the little time left that would make a real difference against Ashton’s overwhelming forces. They turned their confused glances back to Richard, but he remained calm, his expression unreadable. When the commanders reached before Richard, they bowed deeply in reverence. Richard returned

    She bit her lips lightly as her head fell. Richard turned his attention back to the rest of the warriors. “Today marks the beginning of a new era. The weak will be forged into steel. The strong will become legends…”He paused for a moment. Then, his voice rang with finality as he raised his hands slightly to his sides. “Now, warriors of the Sect, swear your allegiance.”For a moment, there was only silence. Then, as if the very walls of the hall could feel the shift in power, every warrior moved as one. “We swear our allegiance!”Their voices thundered in unison, shaking the foundation of the building. Boots slammed against the floor as they reinforced their salute, their fists striking their chests in a display of unwavering loyalty.“To our Supreme Commander. To the Blood Moon!”Richard stood tall, nodding as satisfaction overwhelmed him while he took in the sight before him. Hundreds of warriors, their faces filled with conviction, their loyalty sealed in those words. As tradi

    Commander Stephen’s voice thundered across the hall. And in perfect unison, the warriors echoed the chant, their voices rising in a powerful declaration.“All hail Supreme Commander Valkar!”“All hail Supreme Commander Valkar!”“All hail Supreme Commander Valkar!”Boots struck the ground, the force shaking the very foundation of the building. Hands remained raised in an unwavering salute, their bodies still as they honored their new leader. Richard stood, his expression unreadable. He looked too young, but his aura was suffocating in its sheer intensity. They all could feel it!With slow, deliberate movements, he raised a hand In acknowledgment of their respect and loyalty—the silent gesture that solidified his position as their Supreme Commander. He lowered it with controlled grace before turning toward the throne.

    The following week, Delilah was in her workspace at home tending to certain top-secret documents when her phone buzzed with a text. She lazily glanced at the text, and suddenly, her brows lifted in surprise. Without hesitation, she closed the document before her, tossed it in the safe and grabbed her phone. Just as she was about to fly out of her seat, Helen barged in. “My lady, I apologize,” she quickly bowed, her tone filled with urgency. “I just received an urgent message. Your attention is needed at the headquarters…”“Yes, I just got it.” Before Helen could complete her sentence, Delilah dashed out of the office and ran to her room. She needed to change into her uniform and boots as quickly as possible and head to the headquarters. She had just received news out of nowhere that the new leader and owner of the Sect was ready to meet with the members. Finally, their mysterious leader was ready to reveal himself and sit on his throne. It was a very urgent call. She got downs
