Richard stepped forward, his gaze steady and unwavering as he addressed Steven. He wasn’t going to let Steven’s arrogance slide this time. He knew that reasoning with him was pointless, but he would try anyway. "I’ve had enough of this nonsense," he thought to himself. "Time to show him exactly who he’s dealing with."Richard called Steven over, his voice calm but commanding. "Let’s talk," he said, his eyes locking with Steven’s. "I want to see if we can sort this out like reasonable people."Steven looked at Richard with disdain, clearly uninterested. "What do you think you can do to me if I don’t do as you say?" he scoffed, a smug grin on his face. "You really think you can intimidate me, don’t you?"Richard didn’t flinch. His expression remained calm, almost serene. "I won’t waste my breath explaining it to you," he said, his voice firm. "But let me show you something instead. Your business will crumble right before your eyes, and trust me, you won’t want to witness it."Steven’s fa

Amelia had spent the entire day thinking about the events from the previous day. The way Richard had so calmly handled Mr. Titus—how had he done it? She couldn’t wrap her mind around it. There had to be more to the situation than what Richard had let on. And so, with a sense of growing curiosity and frustration, she decided to call Richard over.As Richard received Amelia’s message, a knot of anxiety twisted in his stomach. He wasn’t sure what to expect, but he knew he had to think of an excuse. What would he say to her? He had to make sure he didn’t give too much away, but also keep things believable. His mind raced as he tried to prepare for their conversation.When they met at her place, Richard greeted her as casually as he could, his nerves only slightly showing.“Hello, Amelia,” Richard said, offering a small smile, but he could tell she wasn’t going to let the matter go so easily.Amelia didn’t waste any time. She studied him for a moment, as if searching for answers in his face

Richard sat quietly in his seat, the sounds of excitement echoing around the classroom. It was the final day of the Deans Cup competition, and the air was thick with anticipation. His classmates were eagerly discussing the match, their voices full of excitement and hope. But Richard wasn’t really feeling the same. For him, today wasn’t about celebrating the game—it was a reminder of everything he didn’t have.Today was special for everyone else, but for Richard, it was just another day. Football wasn’t his thing. He never really felt the need to join in on these kinds of activities, preferring to spend his time running errands for classmates, making a little money where he could. After all, it wasn’t like he was ever part of the class’s team—too poor to afford the fees, too unimportant in their eyes to be included.Richard’s mind drifted back to the previous day, to the conversation with Amelia. How could he ever explain to her that, despite his best efforts, he would always be on the

Richard walked into the sports field, his thoughts distant. Unlike his classmates, he didn’t share their enthusiasm for this match. The final game for the Deans Cup was supposed to be a celebration, but Richard felt more like an outsider than ever. He wasn’t part of the class team, and football had never been his focus. To him, it was just a game. A game in which he wasn’t expected to participate, and frankly, he wasn’t sure he wanted to.However, he’d been pulled in, once again, by the insistence of his friends, Charles and Oliver. The two of them had worked hard for this moment, and despite their earlier reluctance, they had begged him to join in, to support the team. And support them, Richard would.“Are you really not going to join us today?” Charles had asked, his voice tinged with frustration. “This is the finals, Richard! You can’t just skip out.”Richard tried to protest, claiming he had other things to attend to, but he knew deep down he couldn’t walk away. He had to be there

The pressure on Richard was building. The game, once something he had avoided, had now become a test of his willpower. The Deans Cup final had reached its climax, and the weight of the match seemed heavier than ever. His class, trailing 3-1, was running out of time, and every minute brought them closer to defeat.Richard was disappointed that he couldn’t help more. The team was faltering under the pressure of facing their stronger opponents, and Richard was struggling to find a way to break the deadlock. He wasn’t on the team, wasn’t one of the trained players, and yet here he was, trying to push them to victory when it seemed impossible.However, his frustration boiled over into something else—determination. He had to make a difference, no matter how they treated him, no matter how little they believed in him.As the time ticked away, Richard called his teammates together, knowing that their fear of the stronger opponents was holding them back. “We don’t need to be scared of them,” he
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Two Hundred and Two
As Richard walked off the football field, his body still buzzing with the rush of his victory, he couldn't shake the bittersweet feeling that lingered. He had led his team to win the Deans Cup, scoring four incredible goals in one game, but it felt like a hollow victory. Despite all he had done, he was still seen as an outsider—someone they would never truly accept. The recognition from his teammates was fleeting, and deep down, Richard knew that no matter how many goals he scored, there would always be a distance between him and the others.His mind wandered as he made his way to the Velvet Restaurant, where he had agreed to meet Amelia. He had dressed up for the occasion, hoping that tonight might be different. Maybe, just maybe, he could make a better impression. Yet, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the pressures of the game were just the beginning, and now he had a new challenge waiting for him—Amelia.When he finally entered the restaurant, the elegant setting seemed to contras

"What a shame," Amelia murmured, her voice thick with disappointment. She stared at Richard, her eyes hardening as the weight of his words settled between them. He spoke to her with a coldness that she hadn’t expected, as though everything they had shared was nothing more than a fleeting moment, a passing fancy. To say such things to her face without a hint of remorse... it stung in a way that left her breathless. The air in the room felt thicker, heavier, suffocating her with its unspoken tension.Richard, seemingly oblivious to the effect his words had on her, shifted his attention to his phone, his brow furrowing as it buzzed in his hand. When he saw the name on the screen, his expression tightened. It was Mr. James—an important call, one he couldn't afford to ignore.With a forced smile, Richard cleared his throat and excused himself. "Just give me a few seconds. I need to use the restroom," he said, his tone detached, almost rehearsed. His gaze lingered for a moment longer, but th

Nathan’s hand shot out in a sharp, deliberate motion, a signal to the men outside the restaurant. He didn’t need to say another word. His expression was cold, calculating, as if this was just another part of the game—a game he was determined to win at any cost.A few minutes passed, but in those minutes, the air seemed to grow thicker, heavier. The hum of the bustling restaurant faded as Richard’s senses sharpened. He felt the weight of the room shift. A quiet, almost imperceptible tension filled the space around him. And then, he saw them. The men.They entered the hall with a quiet, purposeful stride—giants in every sense of the word. They were tall, broad-shouldered, with eyes that looked as if they had seen and done things most men could never imagine. Their mere presence sent a ripple through the room, silencing the conversations, drawing every eye to them. These were men who made their living on force, intimidation, and unflinching loyalty to whoever paid them. Richard’s heart be

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
