The main reason why Richard was at the Golden Star resort was to have a meeting with the managers of his company. They had anticipated his arrival. Many of them assume that a man who controls several businesses worth billions of dollars would look extremely wealthy and would be in the company of many bodyguards who would be trying to protect him from enemies. They thought highly of Richard and they also dressed up officially so as not to disappoint him. They believe that it would be shameful on their part if they could not meet up with the standard of the heir of the Morgan Empire. Everyone of them were seated in the conference hall when Richard walked in. Richard walked in together with the manager, one of the manager’s employees. They looked confused because they believed that the manager was doing something wrong by coming along with one of his employees when they were supposed to have a meeting for only managers of the companies under the Prescott Empire. Mr James who was a

As Richard decided to take his leave, he was surprised that he saw a familiar face present at the result as well. It was no other Amelia. Richard decided to hide from her so that there wouldn't be any reason why he had to explain himself to her. He was peacefully trying to make his way back home when a staff member called out . “Mr Prescott”, one of the staff members in the company, screamed out loud in Richard's direction. It was at this moment that Amelia's attention was drawn to the direction in which Richard was heading. Amelia could recognize her fiance from a distance so she decided to also call out to him so that they could meet up. “Hello Richard”Amelia screamed at the top of her voice. Richard could not play deaf because her voice was very audible, so he had to turn to her direction because he would have many more questions to answer if he didn't. Richard turned, acting as if he did not know who was calling him or where the direction of the call was coming from

The entire family had to take their seats round the table. Lady Hamilton and Mrs Curry were not the only ones who were happy to see each other. The kids were also happy to see each other. Mr Curry was also present. He is a very good friend of Lord Hamilton; both families have been really close for long and this hangout was meant to strengthen the bond between them. “How have you been Andrew, Helen and Amelia?” Mr Curry asked curiously.

A few minutes later, Jackson Creed arrived to join the family at the table. He was wearing an expensive suit, an expensive wristwatch and an expensive shoe. Anyone could tell from his appearance that he was from a wealthy family. “Good evening, Mr and Mrs Curry. It's really a pleasure that I finally had to meet you both,” Jackson said. The good scent from his clothes filled the atmosphere. His perfume was no doubt an expensive one. “We are also really happy to meet you, here is our family friend , The Hamilton family”, Mrs Curry said, introducing Lord Hamilton,his wife and the children. Jackson also said a greeting. “Your future son-in-law is very handsome and looks wealthy too” Lady Hamilton whispered silently to Mrs Curry.

“If there’s no space for both of us, then it’s best that we both leave. Perhaps our presence is not needed,” Amelia said, her voice colder than she intended, though her eyes betrayed the uncertainty she felt.She had already started to turn away with Richard when Lady Hamilton’s voice cut through the air.“You can’t possibly leave now, Amelia,” Lady Hamilton said, a hint of concern rising in her tone. “You know this gathering is meant to be a reunion between the two families. It’s an opportunity for you to reconnect with Emily, and leaving would be seen as disrespect to the family that invited us.”Amelia froze at her words. She had not anticipated this pushback, but she had never liked the feeling of being tethered to these social obligations. She just wanted Richard by her side, away from the tension and the games they were all playing.Richard, who had overheard the exchange, felt a twinge of discomfort. The last thing he wanted was to cause a rift between Amelia and her mother, esp

Richard instinctively hid behind Amelia, hoping that Mr. Titus would fail to spot him. His heart raced as he tried to blend into the background, but he wasn’t quick enough. Mr. Titus, ever observant, had already seen him.The receptionist’s eyes widened in surprise as she processed Mr. Titus’s statement.“Mr. Jackson here only asked for the Platinum Exclusive section, not the Golden,” the receptionist said, her voice betraying a hint of confusion.“I’m aware of that,” Mr. Titus responded smoothly, his tone calm yet firm. “But as you’ve already mentioned, the Platinum sections are fully booked. If that’s the case, we’ll move Mr. Jackson and his family to the Golden Exclusive section. Our goal here is to ensure customer satisfaction, and that means offering them the best experience we can.”The receptionist hesitated for a moment, clearly unsure of why Mr. Titus was giving the Golden section to Jackson and his family. But she was in no position to argue. She nodded and quickly moved to c

Jackson felt a sinking feeling in his stomach as Mr. Curry made his request. The older man’s eyes gleamed with expectation, as if the most expensive wine in the restaurant was a mere trinket he could demand, as if it were something Jackson owed him. The weight of the moment pressed heavily on Jackson's chest. He didn’t have that kind of money to throw around, especially after covering the bills for the entire family. The most expensive bottle of wine in the restaurant would cost nearly $500,000—far beyond what he could afford.The silence stretched, as Jackson mulled over the predicament. He didn’t want to appear weak, but how could he possibly honor this request? He knew what it would mean if he didn’t.Emily, who had been watching him closely, didn’t take kindly to the hesitation. To her, Jackson was supposed to be a man of wealth and power, a man who could satisfy any request, no matter how extravagant. This moment, this opportunity, was just another chance to prove her point—to eve

Mr. Curry staggered unsteadily, his hands gripping the walls for support, and Richard watched helplessly from behind. There was nothing more he could do. He had offered help, but Mr. Curry had refused, and now, here he was, teetering dangerously as he attempted to make his way out of the restaurant.“Crash!”The loud, sudden noise rang through the air, sharp and jarring, causing everyone in the vicinity to turn toward the source. Richard’s heart sank as he looked up in time to see Mr. Curry lose his balance completely, his legs giving out beneath him.Mr. Curry’s fall wasn’t severe, but the damage that followed was immediate and undeniable. He collided with a beautiful vase displayed in the dining hall corridor—a vase that, despite its grandeur, couldn’t withstand the force of Mr. Curry’s weight.The vase toppled, crashing to the ground in a shower of delicate shards, scattering across the smooth tiles like a thousand sparkling diamonds. The pieces glittered as they hit the floor, and

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

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.

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
