Richard stood in the corner of the office, his eyes fixed on Amelia as she dialed the number. He could feel the tension in the air—the weight of her frustration pressing down on them both. He had heard her end of the conversation with James earlier, and though it stung her deeply, it was no surprise. James had always been a man of empty promises, offering words but never true support. Richard could see the cracks forming in Amelia’s spirit, the weariness in her eyes as she tried to hold herself together.“You shouldn’t bother yourself about this anymore,” Richard said softly, his voice calm but filled with a quiet strength. “It’s only going to discourage you. You have so much more you can focus on, things that will make a difference.”Amelia didn’t have the energy to argue. There was no fighting it. Richard’s words were her only refuge now, the last lifeline she could cling to while she struggled to meet the demands of the contract with Evercrest Group. She nodded faintly, but it wasn’

Richard was taken aback when Mrs. Georgina called the security guards to throw him out. The audacity of her actions stunned him, but he quickly recovered, feeling a surge of determination flood his chest.“You shouldn’t be doing this,” Richard’s voice rang out, steady and firm, yet carrying an undercurrent of frustration. “Do you have any idea who I am?”A loud, mocking laugh echoed from Mrs. Georgina. It was as if she found the idea of him challenging her amusing, almost as though she had forgotten what it meant to truly fear anyone.“Hahaha,” she laughed, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “And who, exactly, are you that I shouldn’t treat you this way?” Her tone dripped with mockery, the sharpness of her words cutting through the tension in the room.Richard stood tall, his posture resolute. “You’ll see soon enough. Then you’ll understand exactly who you’re dealing with,” he responded, his words measured but laced with a quiet promise of retribution.Mrs. Georgina, for the first time,

Mr. Anderson had just heard Richard’s request, and for a moment, he wasn’t entirely sure what to make of it. Richard’s voice, calm but commanding, was impossible to ignore.“I want a favor from you,” Richard said, his tone unwavering. “I’m sure you know Mrs. Georgina very well. I need you to prepare a document to terminate her contract with the company.”The request hit Mr. Anderson like a cold gust of wind. He had been aware of the long-standing contract between Mrs. Georgina and the Apex Group, and the idea of ending it seemed unthinkable. He couldn’t quite understand why Richard would ask for such a drastic action.Mr. Anderson’s mind raced. Perhaps Mrs. Georgina has crossed Richard in some way, and this is his form of retribution, he thought, though he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that there was more to this than met the eye.Richard’s words broke through his thoughts. “I don’t just want the contract terminated. I want you to ensure that Mrs. Georgina is cut off completely fr

Mrs. Georgina stood frozen in disbelief, her mind racing to process the words Mr. Anderson had just uttered."Who is this chairman of the Apex Group who wants my contract terminated?" Mrs. Georgina demanded, her voice laced with curiosity, but also a growing sense of doubt.Even though every instinct told her that Richard was indeed the chairman of the Apex Group, she still couldn’t bring herself to believe it. The idea that this scruffy man, whom she had scorned, could be the head of such a prestigious company seemed impossible.“The chairman of the Apex Group is standing right here before us,” Mr. Anderson replied, his voice firm and resolute.The weight of Mr. Anderson’s words hit Mrs. Georgina like a thunderclap. It was now glaringly obvious—Richard was indeed the chairman of the Apex Group.Her eyes widened with a mix of shock and disbelief. She knew Mr. Anderson well enough to understand that he wouldn’t lie to her, especially not about something this significant. If he had come

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

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.

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
