After the class ended, Charles and Oliver made their way toward Richard, eager to hear what he had promised to share with them. Richard had previously mentioned that there was something important he wanted to discuss, and the weight of that statement had left them both curious and concerned.Richard was already packing up his bag when Charles and Oliver approached him.“Hope you enjoyed the class, Richard,” Charles asked, his tone casual, but there was a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.“Yes, I did,” Richard replied, his voice steady. “I really enjoyed how the lecturer explained body metabolism, especially using those structures and pathways. If I hadn’t attended the class today, it would have been a problem for me, but now I feel like I completely understand what was explained.”Charles smiled, nodding in approval. “It’s always good to attend class and learn, huh? But about what you said earlier… Can you tell us now? What’s this important thing you wanted to discuss with us?”Richard

“Alright, spill it,” Charles said, leaning forward with genuine curiosity, his gaze fixed on Richard. “What’s eating you up?”For a moment, Richard hesitated. His heart was racing, a storm of thoughts swirling in his chest. He had always been skilled at hiding things, keeping secrets, and weaving lies when necessary. It was easier that way, safer. But now, in front of his closest friends, he couldn’t keep the truth hidden any longer.“There’s something I need to tell all of you,” Richard began, his voice steady despite the chaos inside him. He could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on him as he prepared to break free from the life he had built on deception.Oliver set his coffee down, raising an eyebrow. “Sounds serious.”“It is,” Richard replied, taking a deep breath, pushing himself away from the desk where he’d been sitting. He stood up, needing the physical space to contain the emotions threatening to spill out.“I’m not who you think I am,” Richard continued, the words

Richard had made up his mind. It was time to show his friends the new life he had stepped into. They had stood by him during the toughest moments of his life, and now it was time to share with them the truth about who he had become.“Will you guys come with me to see the mansion I got for myself?” Richard asked, his voice carrying an air of finality.His friends were still grappling with the truth he had revealed earlier, processing the fact that he was no longer the Richard they had known—the struggling orphan working as a waiter—but instead the heir to the Morgan Empire. The reality of it was sinking in, and the idea of visiting his new mansion seemed almost too surreal to believe.“We would definitely love to,” Christabel replied, her voice filled with excitement.Her words were filled with the kind of enthusiasm that reflected how everyone felt. They were eager to see what kind of life Richard had now entered, especially considering his new status as the heir of one of the most pow

“Crane, huh? Bold move for your first play,” Mr. James said, his voice laced with both admiration and caution. “Alright, give me some time. I’ll dig up what I can.”“Thanks, Mr. James. I owe you,” Richard replied, his words heavy with gratitude. A small smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. He could already feel the storm brewing, and Maxwell Crane wouldn't see this coming. Richard knew this was just the beginning, and he wasn’t going to let anyone—especially Crane—stand in his way.Maxwell Crane had been on Richard's radar for some time now. Richard had spent hours reading about the ruthless businessman, one whose actions had caused irreparable damage to the Morgan Empire. He was a cunning, dangerous opponent, and Richard had made him his first target. His goal was simple—make Crane pay for every underhanded move he had made against his family’s legacy. This time, nothing would stop him.Richard allowed himself a moment to reflect, gathering his thoughts on how to approach the situa

Richard had meticulously planned his next steps to deal with Maxwell Crane, but he wasn’t ready to share every detail with his friends just yet. The final arrangements still needed to be made, and he wanted everything to fall into place before bringing them fully into the fold. For now, he kept the plan to himself.It was already late morning, and the clock was ticking. Mr. Ethan's class would start at 10:00 a.m., so Richard and his friends had to head back to their dorms to prepare.“Thank you so much, Richard, for this luxury treatment you’ve given us,” Christabel said, her voice full of genuine appreciation. “We might never experience this kind of treatment again.”Richard chuckled softly, a hint of pride in his smile. “You don’t have to say it like that. You’re always welcome here. We’re friends, after all. This is what friends do for each other. Whenever you feel like visiting, just let me know, and I’ll make sure everything’s ready for you.”His words rang with sincerity, and his

“Hello, Mr. James. What’s so urgent that you couldn’t wait until I was out of school to tell me about it?” Richard asked, his voice tinged with curiosity, though there was an undercurrent of concern in his tone. He had learned by now that Mr. James rarely called unless something significant was at stake.“I called to remind you about the charity gala tomorrow,” Mr. James said, his voice steady and serious. “The Crane company is hosting it, and if you’ve got a plan in mind or need my help with anything, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m more than happy to assist.”Richard’s pulse quickened. This was it—the opportunity to confront Maxwell Crane, and Mr. James was offering his support once again. “Thank you so much, Mr. James, for everything. I truly appreciate all the help you've given me. You’ve been there every step of the way, and I don’t take that for granted. If I need anything for this mission, you can be sure I’ll reach out.”“This is your first big move, Richard, and I’m wishing you the

Christabel and Emily sat there, waiting for Richard to reveal the roles they would be playing in the mission. The excitement in the air was palpable, but so was the anticipation. Each of them had agreed to support Richard, but now that the plan was taking shape, they wanted to know exactly what part they’d be playing.“Christabel, you’ll be working as a waitress,” Richard began, his voice steady and confident. “You’ll assist Charles in gathering information for me, keeping an eye on any potential danger, and ensuring everything stays on track.”Christabel nodded immediately, the role aligning with her strengths. She was used to thinking on her feet and managing multiple tasks at once. She could do this without hesitation.But Emily’s face darkened as Richard moved on to the next part of the plan. She had been listening carefully, but when her name wasn’t mentioned right away, confusion turned to frustration. She opened her mouth, her voice tinged with hurt.“Richard, how could you comp

The school bell rang sharply, signaling that break time was over and it was time to return to class. Richard and his friends stood up from their seats, ready to head out, but as they began to make their way toward the door, they were confronted by Dominic and his group. The air between them instantly thickened with tension.“Richard, I see what you’ve become recently,” Dominic sneered, crossing his arms over his chest. “You must be really proud, knowing some of the top individuals in the country. But let’s get this straight—I still don’t believe you’re someone worthy of respect. You’re still the same Richard I’ve always known.”Richard didn't even bother to respond, nor did his friends. They simply turned on their heels, walking past Dominic without a word. The silence was deafening, and it left Dominic standing there, his words hanging in the air like an empty threat.“Richard’s been acting up lately,” Thomas muttered under his breath, turning toward Dominic. “He might actually have s

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
