No one saw it coming.The quiet, unassuming Richard—who always looked like he belonged in the background—had just snapped. It was like watching a completely different person emerge from his skin. Calm had turned to chaos, hesitation to rage.This wasn’t the Richard who quietly tolerated people stepping on him.This was someone else. Someone dangerous.And Ethan? He just happened to be the poor bastard who lit the fuse.If it had been any other day, Richard might’ve held back. He might’ve swallowed his pride like he always did, taken the insult, walked it off.But not today.Today, Ethan had gone too far.He had crossed the one line Richard didn’t allow anyone to cross—he brought up Richard’s family.And for a man who’d grown up without parents, whose entire life had been a lonely climb through hardship and humiliation, that wasn’t just a low blow. That was a declaration of war.Originally, Richard had planned to settle things quietly. Call in Mr. James, let power handle power. But Cind

Just as Richard was about to step through the university gates, a familiar voice rang out from behind him—teasing, light, and sharp like a blade wrapped in silk.“Well, well… Didn’t expect your girlfriend to be that pretty, little man.”He froze. That voice could only belong to one person.Turning around, he saw her—Sandra. The same Sandra from last night. The same Sandra who had the internet wrapped around her finger with millions of followers and a face you couldn’t forget.She strolled toward him, casual and poised, eyes sparkling with amusement. Her tone, however, was laced with mockery.“With a girlfriend like that, why were you still fooling around? Seriously… Men really are pathetic. Good thing I don’t like them.”Richard sighed. “You here to make fun of me?”She raised a brow, smirking. “I’m not that bored. I was just passing by. But I have to ask… What the hell were you thinking? Spreading those kinds of photos? Really?”“I didn’t,” Richard snapped, exasperated. “Those photos

Richard clutched the photo in his hand, knuckles white, and made his way toward the first print shop Sandra had indirectly led him to.He wasn’t just chasing the truth—he was chasing redemption.This wasn’t about pride. It wasn’t even about the humiliation. What haunted him most was the thought of losing Amelia’s trust. Their bond—fragile but real—meant more to him than he could admit out loud. And if this false accusation destroyed that… he wasn’t sure how to come back from it.The bell above the door chimed as he stepped into the small shop. Behind the counter sat an older man, hunched over a keyboard, eyes narrowed behind square-framed glasses.“Hello, sir,” Richard said, voice polite but strained.The man looked up from his computer. “Good afternoon, young man. What can I help you with?”“My name’s Richard,” he began, holding up the photo. “I was hoping you might recognize this. Maybe someone printed it here?”Mr. Stephen took the photo, adjusting his glasses. The image was clear—a

As Richard turned toward the voice calling his name, a flicker of tension left his shoulders when he recognized the familiar faces approaching.It was Charles. And right beside him, Oliver.“Richard!” Charles called again, waving as they jogged up. “Man, we’ve been looking everywhere for you. We’ve got news—big news.”Their excitement was obvious. They looked almost relieved to have found him. But Richard just stood there, stunned that they’d even come back for him at all.“You two?” he said, eyes narrowing. “Now you’re looking for me? After everything? After you both believed I actually slept with that girl in the photo?”His voice was sharp—he wasn’t hiding the hurt.Charles looked taken aback. Oliver stepped forward first. “You’re right. We did doubt you at first. But things have changed.”“It was a mess,” Charles added quickly. “We were wrong. We thought the worst, and we’re sorry.”Richard crossed his arms, still guarded. “So what changed your minds?”There was a pause—brief, but

Richard was curious to find out more about what Charles and Oliver I discovered from their findings. “Tell me what you are able to find out about this issue”Richard said curiously. “We overheard Jane and Clara's discussion. It was obvious that this setup was planned by Clara and Jane to reign your reputation in school. We also find out that there were not just the only one involved in this act”Charles uttered. When Richard had this it was more curious to know who was involved in setting him up and trying to reign his reputation aside Jane which was obvious and Clara. “Yes Mr George the owner of the print shop. He assisted them in making the photo look so real so that no one will argue about its authenticity. He made the photo of both you and Clara to be in an obscene situation making it difficult for you to claim innocence to this act”Oliver interrupted. “I knew that someone must have assisted them in doing a thing like that.”Richard exclaimed. He never imagined that Mr Geo

It was at this point that Richard went ahead of his friends. “Where are you heading to?”Charles asks curiously. Charles was willing to provide support to him if he needed support from them. “You don't have to worry about me anymore, I think I can handle the situation myself. I'm going to find out the reason why Clara and Jane did this to me and I will ensure that they receive punishment for the action,”Richard said with a strong voice. Charles and Oliver realize that Richard was resolved to handle the situation by himself so they had to let him go. They are willing to stand as a witness for Richard against Clara and Jane after hearing their conversation. The reason why Richard deemed it fit for Charles and Oliver to wait behind was because he was ready to use his power against Clara and Jane. He hasn't told Charles and Oliver yet about his newfound fame and they might just find out if they followed him. Richard knew where Clara was working. She was working in a business fil

“What's going on here?”Mr George asked curiously. He knew very well who Richard was and he was surprised to see a man like Richard an heir to the Harrington Empire in his company. At this point Clara was already shivering not because she was scared of Richard but because she was scared that she would get into trouble and possibly lose her job. “Not really important sir, I'm only trying to handle this kid that seems as if he lost his way to our company”Clara said with her cracking voice. Mr George walked closer and discovered that it was the known Mr Richard Morgan of the Morgan Empire. He quickly went closer to him and bowed slightly to him. “Mr Morgan, what an honor to have you here. Why are you here and what do you want me to do? Just say it and it will be done?” Mr George said respectfully. He was willing to do anything just to please Richard. When Clara saw this she was immediately surprised.She never expected that a poor kid like Richard would know a man like Richard.

Richard was satisfied with the fact that Clara would be coming with him but you also intend to settle things with Jane. Jane had not stopped to cause trouble for him and now it seems it was the right time for him to settle score with her. With Clara at his service he has more than enough evidence to clear his name and confront Jane. “Just tell what I need to do and I will be willing to do exactly so”Clara said as she saw Richard's troubled face. Richard looked at Clara and suddenly a new idea came to his mind. He had initially thought of going straight to Amelia to clear his name with her but him doing so would not mean solving the entire problem. Jane was the cause of all this and if he did not resolve things with Jane then there's a possibility that she might cause more troubles in future for Richard. “Jane, force you to do this to me right?”Richard gazed at Clara and asked sternly. Clara could see the seriousness from his tone and his facial expression. “Yes, yes she d

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 next day, Richard and his companion went to the auction again, and this time around they noticed that. It was the same people they had met the previous day. And they were ready to auction more items. Which for Richard? He believed that the selling app would be among those items on the auction, but as the action began, 1 by 1, the items were called out and the highest bidder. It's for each of these herbs. You're talking about for him to get the attention of everyone, he also had to make the bid. And there it was, his final opportunity, the final items.

But he was setting that we do attention on him then he could get clue concerning the setting up and that was exactly what happened when he beat the final amount which was 300,000. There was no person in the audience that outbid him, so he wo

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
