The unexpected student billionaire Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Eight
The entire class had seen the picture of Richard and Clara, and their gaze was nothing short of judgmental. They stared at him with open disdain, and the weight of their eyes felt suffocating.“I always thought Richard was just an ordinary waiter, barely scraping by compared to the rest of us. But now it’s clear—aside from being poor, he’s a master at deceiving women,” Natasha uttered, her tone sharp and filled with contempt.“He’s nothing but a disgusting young man,” Isabella added with equal venom. “Instead of focusing on making something of himself, he wastes whatever little he has chasing after women. He uses his lies to seduce them and once they fall for it, he manipulates them into sleeping with him.”Richard could hardly believe what he was hearing. He never expected such cruelty, especially from people he thought might understand. He had tried so hard to show them that he was different, that he had grown, but now, all that effort seemed for nothing."Stop that right now!" Richa

At that moment, Richard felt a knot of worry tighten in his chest. He had hoped Amelia wouldn't have heard the rumors, but as he glanced around, he realized the news had likely already reached her. Hesitation gripped him as he debated whether he should meet her now or delay it, but he knew he couldn't avoid her forever.As he approached Amelia, her smile immediately put him at ease. It was genuine, and Richard couldn’t help but feel relieved. He knew if she already knew the truth, that smile wouldn’t be there.“Hi Richard, how have you been?” Amelia greeted warmly. “I tried to reach you last night, but it seemed like you were busy and couldn’t answer. Everything okay?”Richard hesitated. He wanted to tell her everything about the turmoil he had gone through the previous night, but the chaos at school had thrown him off. He wasn’t ready to burden her with all of it just yet.“It’s nothing. I was just really tired,” Richard said, forcing a smile. “I hope you’re alright. Listen, how about

Richard was feeling overwhelmed, and his mind was racing as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. The situation seemed to mock everything he had been trying to keep in order. It wasn’t just about the accusations in school anymore, but now Sandra was putting him in a position where he felt completely helpless.As he stood there, frozen, Sandra’s words echoed in his ears, and he realized that the tension was growing. The crowd had already started to form, their eyes filled with judgment, some murmuring among themselves. This wasn’t just about a simple misunderstanding anymore—it was about his image being dragged through the dirt by everyone around him.Sandra, standing confidently, declared that Richard was her boyfriend in front of the man who had tried so hard to win her over. The way the crowd’s eyes shifted to him—no longer seeing him as the person he once thought he could be, but now a source of ridicule—sent a sinking feeling deep into his chest.Richard couldn't help but no

Sandra didn’t flinch at the whispers around her. Without hesitation, she grabbed Richard’s hand and marched him straight up to Ethan, ignoring the murmurs that rippled through the crowd.Her grip was firm. Possessive.When they stopped in front of Ethan, Sandra’s expression was unreadable, but her voice was clear and sharp.“Ethan,” she said, her tone calm but assertive, “this man is my boyfriend. So please, stop chasing after me. It’s over.”For a moment, Ethan just stared, dumbfounded.His confident smirk faltered.His gaze shifted to Richard, scanning him from head to toe. Disbelief tightened his jaw. It was like watching a man who had just seen a ghost—except this ghost wore budget clothes and didn’t fit into Ethan’s carefully curated world of wealth and prestige.He opened his mouth to speak, then closed it again. Finally, with narrowed eyes, he said flatly, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”The surrounding crowd leaned in closer, their curiosity piqued. Even strangers who had no ide

The moment Richard spoke, the room fell quiet. People exchanged uncertain glances, their faces puzzled, their eyes searching for meaning in his calm voice. No one could quite believe what they’d just heard.“…You want me to be a waiter?” Ethan’s voice cut through the silence, cold and incredulous. He stared at Richard as if trying to gauge whether this was a joke or a personal insult.Richard didn’t even look at him. Without a word, he scrolled through his phone, found Mr. James’s number, and hit call. His face was unreadable, his patience clearly worn thin.Ethan's eyes narrowed. “Is there something wrong with your head?”A few others joined in, their mockery quick and mean.“Yeah, are you insane? You actually think Young Master Lawson would work as a waiter?”“Who the hell do you think you are? You think someone like him has to listen to you? This is comedy gold.”“He probably doesn’t even know what Ethan does for a living. This guy’s asking for lightning to strike him!”The room rip

Richard hadn’t hugged Sandra just for show — he wanted to provoke Ethan. Plain and simple.Sandra had already called him her boyfriend, even if only to use him as a shield. That gave him permission, or at least cover. Whatever happened next, she wasn’t going to slap his hand away in front of everyone. That was all he needed.And if Richard was being honest, there was something deeply satisfying about it. Sandra wasn’t just any woman. She was an internet celebrity with millions of fans, admired not just for her beauty, but for her poise, her presence. Her every step turned heads. Her legs alone — long, toned, impossible to ignore — had entire comment sections thirsting.And now she was in his arms.The scent of her perfume flooded his senses — soft, floral, hauntingly familiar. It was the same scent he noticed the first time they met, but now it was stronger, closer. With her back against him and her sheer tulle dress brushing his hand, he could feel the warmth of her skin — smooth, alm

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

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
