Richard stood frozen at the doorway, his heart sinking as he took in the sight before him. The Hamilton family was gathered around the dining table, their laughter echoing through the house, all of them clearly enjoying the presence of James Williams. The very man who, by his own false claims, had convinced them he was the one responsible for securing the Ever-crest group contract. He was the man they all hoped Amelia would be with.Amelia, the woman he cared for, was seated at the table, a forced smile on her face as she joined in the conversation. Her family, including her mother, Lady Hamilton, and her sister, Lilian, were all lavishing attention on James. Richard had no idea how to process what he was seeing.“Hey, you loser! You’re finally back,” Lady Hamilton’s voice cut through the room, filled with mockery. Her tone was deliberately harsh, a reminder of the disdain she had always had for him. “Where have you been all this while?”Lilian, ever the echo of her mother, added with

Richard felt a surge of disbelief as he listened to James’ claim about being the one responsible for securing the Ever-crest group contract for Amelia. What was even more painful was that the entire Hamilton family had bought into James’ story, believing every word he said. Richard could see the direction they were headed—Amelia’s success had to be attached to someone, and James was the one they had chosen.It was a strategic move on their part, hoping that associating Amelia’s achievements with James would make her develop feelings for him. The truth was, they saw James as the ideal match for Amelia—a man of wealth and influence, someone they believed could take her further than Richard ever could.“Are you really responsible for Amelia’s contract with the Ever-crest company?” Richard asked, his voice tight with curiosity, trying to get James to admit the truth.James didn’t hesitate, answering with a sense of entitlement. “Who else could it be? I used my influence and connections to

“And how can you be so sure that I wasn’t the one who made the contract for Amelia with the Ever-crest company possible?” James asked, his voice dripping with feigned innocence.Richard stood firm, his gaze steady as he replied, “It’s obvious. It should be clear to everyone, except for the fact that they refuse to see the truth and remain blind to it. You yourself admitted earlier that you had nothing to do with the contract Amelia secured with Ever-crest, but now, when you see that the Hamilton family wants to attach her success to someone, you quickly change your story. Now, you claim to be the one responsible for that contract. That’s why I’m skeptical.”James' smug smile faded slightly, but he quickly recovered. He wasn’t going to let Richard challenge him without defending his claim.“You’re clever and smart, I’ll give you that,” James said with a slight sneer. “But it doesn’t matter now. The Hamiltons are convinced that I helped Amelia with the Ever-crest contract, so there’s not

James was on his knees, pleading for forgiveness from Richard.Richard was doing his best to avoid causing a scene, especially considering that they were still inside the Hamilton house. He had to keep his composure, knowing how delicate the situation was, particularly with Amelia’s family in the mix.Richard didn’t notice when Amelia had stepped outside, but the moment his eyes met hers, his heart began to race. He hadn’t expected her to walk up on this interaction, especially with James on his knees in front of him.“Hurry up and get up now, or you’ll regret what comes next,” Richard commanded, his voice sharp as he tried to regain control of the situation.Richard’s mind was racing. His first instinct was to keep this from escalating further, but the situation had already spiraled. Amelia had seen too much. There was no denying it. James Williams was still on his knees, and now Amelia was walking toward them, clearly curious about the strange scene unfolding before her. The weight o

As Richard watched James disappear into the distance, a strange mix of satisfaction and unease settled over him. The encounter had left him feeling more drained than he cared to admit. He had managed to assert control, but the reality was clear: he couldn’t keep up the charade with Amelia for much longer. The truth about his power and status was a delicate thread he was desperately trying to hold together.He turned to head back toward the house, hoping for a moment of peace, but Amelia's lingering questions stayed in the back of his mind. What if she started to piece things together? What if today was the day she finally pushed for the answers he wasn’t ready to give?As if on cue, his phone buzzed. It was Helen—one of Amelia’s closest friends and business associates. She had insisted on joining them for the day to discuss some of the logistics behind the companies Amelia was managing. Richard hadn’t expected to meet her under these tense circumstances, but there was no turning back n

Richard had just mentioned he would give $500,000 to Jonathan’s bodyguards, and Jonathan’s response was a loud, mocking laugh.“Hahaha,” Jonathan chuckled, his voice dripping with disdain. “How can a loser like you afford that kind of money? Do you think $500,000 is like $500 or $50? I doubt you even have $100 to your name. Stop trying to impress anyone and accept my offer,” he sneered, his words laced with arrogance.Richard’s gaze remained unwavering, his voice rising as he repeated his earlier offer. “I really will give the sum of $500,000 to your bodyguards if they can deal with you for me,” he said, the determination in his tone now unmistakable.Richard raised his voice louder this time, making sure the bodyguards standing nearby could hear him clearly. “I’m aware your master gives you each $100,000, but I’m offering you five times that. $500,000—if you can deal with him for me,” Richard called out, his words slicing through the tension.The five bodyguards exchanged glances, the

Richard quickly reached for his phone and dialed Mr. James' number.Everyone knew of Mr. James, a man who was both feared and respected. He had a reputation for being both a shrewd businessman and a ruthless individual when crossed. No one would dare be on his bad side, as he would deal with anyone who offended him mercilessly.As Richard’s call went through, he explained the situation to Mr. James and asked him to speak to the bodyguards. The moment the bodyguards realized it was actually Mr. James on the other end of the line, their faces drained of color. The fear was immediate, and they froze in place, too terrified to respond.Richard had no choice but to put the call on loudspeaker so they could hear Mr. James’ voice clearly. He knew they were too frightened to even speak.“Just one more step closer to Richard, and you will all regret it,” Mr. James’ voice boomed through the speaker. “I will make sure I come for each one of you—your families and friends will suffer for your dislo

The shock of the confrontation still lingered in the air as Richard stood in the Hamilton household, trying to make sense of the mess he had just walked into. The accusations of infidelity weighed heavily on him, especially with Amelia looking at him with doubt in her eyes. Every word from her family felt like a strike to his integrity. But Richard knew he couldn’t just walk away from this—he had to prove his innocence, not just for his sake, but for Amelia’s trust. The 24-hour deadline had been set, and with it, an uncomfortable silence enveloped the room. Richard’s mind raced as he thought about the picture. How could someone do this to him? The thought of being caught in a trap was almost unbearable, but he couldn’t figure out who was behind it—until the phone call came. The sudden ring of his phone broke him from his thoughts. Hesitating at first, he picked up the unknown number, his heart still pounding from the recent chaos. It was Clara—the woman from last night. But why would

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.

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
