2024-04-18 01:17:30Richard struggled to make sense out of what his grandfather had said.He was still yet to overcome the shock of finding the identity of his parents,yet his grandfather had dropped another shocking news.for him.He wondered how many times he would be surprised before he would be able to take a break.
“The Morgan Empire heir?” Richard asked.
“Yes, you are the Morgan Empire heir” Richard grandfather answered.
Richard was shocked once again.As a student in school he knows what a business empire was.He was aware that anyone who claims to have an empire was very wealthy.
A business empire is a collection of businesses with the shared highlighted management especially one ultimately under the control of one individual.
Richard looked at his grandfather differently.This revelation explained why everything here was so luxurious and why his grandfather butler was able to drive a car as expensive as a Rolls-Royce.
Richard was confused as he wasn't familiar with the Morgan Empire.The fact he was poor didn't mean that he was ignorant.He also knew about some top companies like the one headed by George Prescott,the famous Prescott winery company of which Dominic was the heir.
“Grandfather,you said I'm the heir to the Morgan Empire? Richard asked.
“Yes you are,” His grandfather replied.
“But how come I haven't heard of any top companies bearing the Morgan name?
His grandfather however sighed when he heard his grandson's question.However he didn't blame him.It was expected as only the Morgan heir knows how much of wealth is in his control.
His grandfather just went to his desk where he has documents on.He picked one of the documents and handed the documents to Richard before speaking.
“The companies listed there are under the Morgan Empire.I have all these companies under my control and management.”
Richard looked at his grandfather before going through the documents in his hands.What Richard found out made his jaw drop.
He was overwhelmed by what he just found out.
He had thought that nothing would be able to shock him again,but what he saw had completely blown his mind away.
In the documents were not just top companies in Vatican town but top companies in the world with the least company having a yearly revenue of $10B.
There were several widely acclaimed businesses on the list.
The list also includes luxury stores,top rated hotels and several mineral and oil wells that were part of the Morgan Empire.
Richard felt his head spinning when he looked at the yearly revenue of each of the businesses listed in the documents.Some investments like the oil wells even made close to 100 billion dollars yearly.
Richard's grandfather noticed that Richard had finished going through the documents he handed over to him.He cleared his throat loudly,drawing the attention of Richard.When he saw that Richard's attention was focused on him,he spoke up.
“Richard all these companies are no longer on my name”
Richard's eyes widened.
“What do you mean by that Grandfather?”Richard asked curiously.
“Calm down Richard.The companies and businesses were under my name,because your father who was supposed to inherit them passed away too soon.Now I'm just an old man,who wants to relax and look after his health.
“But you are a healthy grandfather, what do you mean by looking after your health?"Richard asked surprisingly.
“ I'm tired Richard.I have been the head of the Morgan Empire for 35 years and it's time for you to take your rightful position.There is no reason to try and change my mind.I have already transferred and registered all these companies under your name.”
“I know it's sudden for you to take up this great responsibility but you have to accept your new role now.Don't worry I've notified every manager of those businesses that you are the new head of the Morgan Empire.Once you tell them who you are then you will be treated with utmost respect.
Richard's grandfather insisted that he had to take up his responsibility as the new heir of the Morgan Empire.

Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Four
Richard made his way down the hallway toward Miss Lilian’s office, each step echoing in the quiet of the school. His thoughts raced. Why had she asked to speak with him? There was no way it was about the rumors; Miss Lilian was far too professional for that. He had no idea what she wanted to discuss, but he hoped it wasn’t anything too complicated or troublesome.He reached the door of her office and paused, taking a deep breath. The door was slightly ajar, and he could hear the soft rustling of papers inside. He knocked lightly before pushing it open, stepping inside.Miss Lilian looked up from her desk, her eyes sharp as ever. She was seated behind her desk, her usual calm and composed demeanor intact. When her gaze met Richard’s, her expression softened, just for a moment.“Richard,” she said, her voice warm but professional. “Please, come in. Take a seat.”Richard nodded, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. He sat down across from her, feeling the weight of her gaze o
Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Three
The bell rang, signaling the end of the day’s lessons, but Richard couldn’t shake the feeling that his return to school would be anything but normal. As students filed out of the classroom, chattering and laughing, the murmur of gossip began to rise. Richard could hear snippets of whispered conversation behind him as he gathered his things and prepared to leave.“Did you see that? Miss Lilian called Richard to stay behind,” one voice whispered.“Do you think they’re... you know... together?” another voice speculated, low but not low enough to avoid Richard’s ears.Richard sighed inwardly, his shoulders tensing. The last thing he needed right now was to be the subject of more gossip. His life was already complicated enough, what with his powers, his training with Reed, the looming exams, and the looming threat of the Knight Consortium. And now, of course, his sudden return to school had become the latest topic of speculation.Miss Lilian, of all people, had always been a figure of auth
Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Two
The crisp morning air felt oddly refreshing as Richard walked toward the school gates. The weight of the previous weeks hung heavy on his shoulders, but there was a strange sense of normalcy to the school grounds that made him feel momentarily grounded. He hadn't been back here in a while. The exams loomed large, but for now, everything felt suspended in time. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was walking into a new phase of his life—one that was far more complicated than anything he'd experienced before.He hadn’t been to school in weeks, but now he had no choice. The school was more than just a place for education; it was where his life had begun to intertwine with others, including his friends. They had all witnessed the strange, turbulent journey he'd gone through, but as the world around him started to feel more controlled, he knew he had to return. For his own sake. For their sake.As Richard entered the school courtyard, the usual buzz of chatter filled the air. Students hu
Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-One
Just as Richard began to settle into the reality of his new circumstances, the sharp sound of a letter being slid under the door interrupted the moment. Reed turned, moving with his usual calm composure, and picked up the folded parchment from the floor. As he unfolded it, his brow furrowed slightly.“Hmm,” he muttered, reading the contents aloud. “It seems we have other matters to attend to, Richard. You’ve received word from the school.”Amelia glanced at Richard, a flash of concern crossing her features. “The school? What about it?”Reed looked up, his expression becoming slightly more serious. “It seems that the exam timetable has been released. Your academic obligations are still in play. According to the letter, the exams are scheduled to begin in a matter of days. You’ll need to return to class tomorrow.”Richard blinked, his mind struggling to shift gears. “Exams? But... I’m not ready. I can barely focus on anything right now. How can I possibly go back to class after everythi
Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty
The air in Reed’s house was heavy with tension as Richard slowly regained consciousness. His body felt as though it had been hit by a storm—aching, drained, yet filled with a strange, almost electric energy. The world around him seemed blurry at first, but gradually, shapes and colors began to come into focus. He blinked against the sudden onslaught of light, and his senses started to return to him. The scent of herbal concoctions and faint incense wafted in the air, grounding him back in the familiar surroundings of Reed’s study.He tried to lift his hand but found it stiff, his limbs slow to respond. It was as though he was awakening from a long, disorienting sleep. The events of the previous days came crashing back into his mind—the battle, the fight with Sebastian, and, of course, the painful decision to take the Xan Ling herb.As his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw Amelia sitting beside him, her face pale with exhaustion but filled with a glowing sense of relief. She was holdi
Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Nine
Amelia stood by Richard’s side, torn between her desperate desire to save him and the fear of what might happen. She had seen the herb’s power firsthand, how it had healed Richard’s injuries so quickly, but she had also seen its toll on him—how it had made him weaker, more vulnerable. Would he even survive this?Richard’s breathing was shallow, his body tense. His lips parted as though he was trying to speak, but nothing came out. His eyelids fluttered, struggling to stay open.“Richard,” Amelia whispered, squeezing his hand. “Please, stay with me.”Reed had already prepared the extract, but the hesitation in his eyes was clear. It was not just about the herb anymore—it was about what it would cost Richard to drink it. The very thing that had kept him alive could also be the thing that changed him forever.Amelia looked at Reed, her voice filled with both desperation and determination. “Please, Reed... you have to help him. We have no other choice.”Richard’s eyes finally opened, his
