Richard hesitated for a moment. He knew he should leave, that walking away was the right thing to do. But as he glanced at Clara, who was clearly still under the influence of alcohol, a sense of responsibility weighed on him. He couldn’t just leave her like this. It was late, and the streets weren’t safe—especially not for someone in her vulnerable state.If he walked away and something happened to her, he would never forgive himself.Sighing, he turned back toward her.“Alright,” Richard muttered. “I’ll at least make sure you get inside safely.”Clara leaned against the doorway, her expression dazed but amused. “You’re too nice for your own good, you know that?”Richard ignored the comment and helped her into her home. He took a brief moment to glance around. The interior of her house was both elegant and cozy, decorated with soft lighting and expensive furniture. It was clear that Clara came from a wealthy background.He assisted her to the couch, making sure she was seated properly.

When Charles and Oliver opened the door, they were met with a shocking sight—Richard, standing unsteadily at the entrance, his eyes slightly unfocused, his body swaying as if he could collapse at any moment.They exchanged glances, confusion evident in their expressions. Richard wasn’t the type to drink or get himself into situations like this. So how had he ended up in this state?Oliver reached forward, steadying Richard before he could fall. “What the hell happened to you?”Richard only groaned in response, his head throbbing too much for him to formulate an answer.Charles sighed. “I don’t think we’ll be getting any answers out of him tonight. Let’s just get him to bed. He’ll talk when he wakes up.”Without another word, the two of them lifted Richard by his arms, dragging him toward his bed. Richard barely registered their actions as they carefully placed him down, covering him with the blanket before stepping back.“I’ve never seen him like this before,” Charles muttered, his bro

Richard moved quickly, his footsteps purposeful as he made his way to Sullivan Restaurant. He had taken longer than expected, and he knew Amelia was probably wondering why he was late. The thought of her waiting alone made him uneasy.He had arranged everything beforehand—booking the entire restaurant to make the night special. When he arrived, the security guards immediately recognized him from earlier and opened the door with a respectful nod. They knew better than to delay a man of his status.As he stepped inside, his gaze instantly landed on Amelia.But she wasn’t alone.Across from her sat a couple—a well-dressed man and a woman who seemed far too comfortable in Amelia’s company. They were chatting and laughing as if they had known each other for years.Richard’s first instinct was relief—Amelia wasn’t sitting alone, worried about his lateness. But as he walked toward them, he noticed the way the couple looked at him, their expressions shifting the moment he spoke.“What have I m

Richard and Amelia left the park, walking side by side in comfortable silence. The tension of the evening still lingered, especially after Richard’s latest encounter with the Hamilton family. He had endured their disdain once again, but he refused to let their words weigh him down. He had more important things to focus on—like Amelia and the worry that clouded her face.They arrived at Amelia’s car, but even as she leaned against the door, she seemed lost in thought. Richard could tell something was bothering her.“What’s on your mind?” he asked gently.Amelia hesitated before shaking her head. “It’s nothing, really. Just tired.”Richard wasn’t buying it. He reached for her hand, squeezing it lightly. “Amelia, talk to me. You know you can tell me anything.”She sighed, knowing she couldn’t keep it from him any longer. “It’s about a business rival—Georgina Mark.”Richard frowned. He had heard that name before.“She just launched a company in the same industry as mine,” Amelia continued.

Amelia’s heart pounded as she ended the call from her office. The receptionist had just informed her that Mrs. Nathaniel Mark was in the building, causing a scene and demanding to see her.She gripped her phone tightly, knowing this could only mean trouble. Mrs. Nathaniel wasn’t the type to make casual visits—especially not when she had spent the last few weeks making threats against Amelia’s business. She was an arrogant and ruthless businesswoman, known for trampling over her competition without remorse. If she was at Amelia’s office now, it meant she had come to make good on her threats.Richard, who had been watching her closely, noticed the sudden shift in her mood.“You’ve been tense ever since that call. What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice filled with concern.Amelia hesitated. She didn’t want to burden Richard with this problem. What could he do against someone like Mrs. Nathaniel? But seeing the determination in his eyes, she decided to tell him. Even if he couldn’t help, maybe

“You mean to say I should forfeit the contract I have with the Ever-Crest Group just because you said so?” Amelia asked, her tone laced with curiosity and defiance.“Yes, that's exactly my point. You should terminate your contract with them because I want it for myself,” Mrs. Georgina declared vehemently, her eyes dark with determination.Richard studied Mrs. Georgina intently, his curiosity piqued. What authority did she have to make such demands of Amelia? Who did she think she was to try and dictate Amelia's decisions?Amelia lifted her chin, her expression unwavering. “I won’t do any such thing, and I’m not scared of you or your threats.” Her voice was steady, slicing through the tense air like a blade.Around them, the staff members stiffened, their faces pale with panic. Everyone in the industry knew that Mrs. Georgina was a force to be reckoned with. She was ruthless, a woman who always got what she wanted, no matter the cost. Now that she had set her sights on Amelia’s contract

As the men approached Richard, something unexpected happened. The leader of the group locked eyes with him, his expression initially unreadable. But as the seconds stretched, his face paled. His breathing turned erratic, and suddenly, he took a shaky step back. Without a word, he turned on his heel and rushed out of the room. The other men, confused but instinctively following their leader, hurried after him.The room fell into stunned silence. No one could understand what had just happened. Why would a group of trained, intimidating men flee from a single, unarmed man?Mrs. Georgina’s face twisted in confusion and anger. She had hired these men to instill fear, to force Amelia into submission. Yet, they had been the ones to crumble."What could have possibly scared them?" The question echoed in everyone's mind, but no one had an answer.What they didn’t know was that the leader of the group had seen Richard before. He had witnessed Richard in the presence of James, a man whose name al

As Richard stood there, watching Amelia’s growing frustration, the weight of their situation pressed down on him. Despite his belief that he could handle things without external help, he couldn’t ignore the fear that gnawed at him. Amelia had been through so much, and her fears were valid. The fear that Mrs. Georgina might succeed in her pursuit, the realization that even James Williams, someone Amelia had trusted, could offer no salvation—it all left a bitter taste in the air.Amelia, now more determined than ever, knew she had to take matters into her own hands. She had come to a decision. Her voice, shaky but resolute, broke the tension that lingered in the room."I won’t just wait and let her crush everything I've built," Amelia said, her eyes locking with Richard’s. “I’ll find a way, even if it means going against the odds.”Richard’s lips pressed into a thin line. He didn’t want to see her carry this burden alone, but Amelia’s strength shone through, and in that moment, he knew t

With the Dawn Brotherhood retreating into the mist, Richard, Zara, and Kai caught their breath, their bodies bruised but alive. The giant man stood silently, his massive form looming over them. He was older than Richard had first assumed, his face weathered and his body covered in scars that told stories of countless battles.“Thank you,” Richard said, his voice hoarse from the fight. “You came just in time.”The giant grunted, his gaze scanning the forest, still on alert. “You’re lucky I was nearby. The Dawn Brotherhood is a dangerous group. I wouldn’t trust them if I were you.”“Who are you?” Zara asked, her tone cautious but curious.The giant’s lips curled into a grim smile. “I’m Tian Jun.”Richard’s heart skipped a beat. This was the man they had been searching for—the man who knew the way to the Xan Ling herb.“You’re Tian Jun,” Richard said, his voice filled with awe and respect. “We’ve been looking for you.”Tian Jun nodded slowly. “I know. You’re not the first to come seeking

Zara, ever alert, noticed the subtle change first. “We’re not alone,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I’m picking up movement in the trees.”Kai, who had been scanning the surroundings since the beginning of the trek, immediately tensed, his posture shifting. “There’s more than one. They’re trying to get ahead of us.”Richard’s eyes narrowed. More than one? This wasn’t supposed to be an ordinary mission. Other people were seeking the Xan Ling herb, too.It wasn’t long before the sound of footsteps echoed through the mist. The group instinctively moved closer together, Zara and Kai ready to spring into action, while Richard’s hand instinctively rested on the hilt of his blade. They weren’t sure who was out there, but one thing was certain: they had competition.Suddenly, from the thick shadows of the forest, a group of masked figures emerged. They were dressed in dark robes, their faces obscured by hoods, making them appear like phantoms in the mist. They moved with the silen

The journey had been long and arduous, but Richard, Zara, and Kai were close. They had crossed rough terrain, climbed steep hills, and navigated through dense forests. The further they ventured, the more isolated the world became. It was as if the earth itself was conspiring to keep the Xan Ling herb hidden from all but the most determined seekers.After several days of travel, they finally reached the base of the mountains, where Tian Jun’s village was rumored to lie hidden. The village was shrouded in mist, the tall peaks above creating a natural barrier between the outside world and this secretive place. It was as if the mountains themselves were guarding the secret of the Xan Ling herb.But as Richard and his companions approached the foot of the mountains, they began to sense a shift in the air. Something felt off. It wasn’t just the looming presence of the mountains or the thickening fog; it was the feeling of being watched.Zara, ever alert, noticed the subtle change first. “We

As the night wore on, Richard, Zara, and Kai had successfully followed Dorian Vargas without him suspecting. The man’s movements were sharp and deliberate, his confidence betraying a keen awareness of his surroundings, but despite his careful nature, Richard knew he had to stay on his tail. The only way to get the information they needed about the elusive Xan Ling herb was to follow the trail—no matter how winding it might be.For the better part of an hour, the trio shadowed Vargas through the crowded city streets, ducking into alleys and weaving through the maze of people without attracting attention. Zara, who was no stranger to covert operations, kept her distance, keeping a watchful eye on the path ahead while Kai moved with effortless stealth, ensuring that no one was too close. Richard was focused on Vargas, his gaze locked on the back of the man who had been the key to unraveling the mystery of the Xan Ling herb.Vargas eventually made his way out of the busy district, enterin

The evening air was thick with the promise of danger as Richard, Zara, and Kai arrived at the venue—a large, opulent building located on the outskirts of the city. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings, and the scent of expensive perfumes mingled with the rich aroma of fine foods. Inside, the atmosphere was one of hushed excitement and quiet tension.Men and women dressed in the finest silks and tailored suits, their expressions guarded, moved through the halls in small groups. The room was alive with the clinking of glasses, the murmurs of whispered conversations, and the occasional loud burst of laughter. But beneath the surface, there was something much darker—something Richard could feel deep in his gut.As they entered the main hall, Zara immediately took charge. Her sharp eyes scanned the room, picking out key players and potential sources of information. Richard could tell she was calculating every move, every gesture, as if she was already five steps ahead of everyone

One day, after weeks of rigorous training, Richard found himself back in the sparring room with Kaal’s assistant. This time, something was different. As he squared off with his opponent, he took a deep breath and focused. For the first time, he wasn’t relying solely on his speed or strength. He had learned to read his opponent’s body language, to anticipate movements before they happened. He wasn’t fighting against the assistant—he was fighting with him, learning his rhythm, his strategy.The fight was brutal. Richard’s muscles screamed for rest, his body aching from the endless sparring sessions. But this time, things were different. As Richard ducked beneath a punch and countered with a precise strike to the assistant’s ribs, he felt something shift inside of him. For the first time, he was truly in control of the fight. He wasn’t acting out of anger or frustration—he was calm, focused, and in sync with the flow of the battle.When the assistant finally went down, it was with a surp

The following day, after another grueling set of classes, Richard received a call from Mr. James. The voice on the other end was calm, yet filled with a certain urgency. “Richard, I need you to meet me after school. There’s something important we need to discuss.”Richard, still processing the chaotic events of the past few days, agreed. He didn’t know what to expect, but something told him that whatever Mr. James had planned, it was going to be another step deeper into the world he was trying to navigate—a world that had been anything but ordinary.After school, Richard met Mr. James at the designated spot, a small café tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. Mr. James looked as composed as always, his usual calm demeanor unwavering. After a brief greeting, they walked together, moving through the busy streets until they reached an unassuming house. It didn’t look like much from the outside—an old, two-story house with peeling paint and a small yard. But Richard had learned long a

The situation had escalated beyond anything Richard could have predicted. Margaret had been taken away by the guards, Thomas, too, was nowhere to be found, and it seemed as though the Hamilton Enterprises building was becoming more of a fortress with every passing minute. Desperation settled in Richard's chest. He had to do something—he couldn’t just stand by and watch them take everyone he cared about. The guards were getting more aggressive, and the protestors outside were beginning to panic, unsure of what was going on inside the building.Richard’s mind raced. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the time for patience was over. There were people inside—his friends, the ones who had been wronged—and he couldn’t let them suffer anymore. The building that once felt like a symbol of the Hamiltons’ strength now felt like a cage, and Richard had no choice but to act.Richard moved toward the entrance, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for any sign of weaknes
