After hearing the familiar name, Caleb’s head snapped up, his eyes locking onto the middle-aged man. A chill ran down his spine, his body going rigid as if struck by lightning. His mouth hung slightly open, and for a long moment, he was frozen, unable to process what he had just heard.“Mr... Mr. Williams?” Caleb stammered, his voice cracking with disbelief. His heart hammered in his chest, the words barely escaping his lips.Williams, the man who had once been the equal of Mr. James, the legendary figure in Springfield, offered a faint, almost imperceptible smile. It wasn’t one of warmth or camaraderie. It was knowing, almost amused, as if he found Caleb’s surprise somewhat childish.“Hehe, looks like Mr. Williams still remembers me!” he said, his tone light yet filled with an underlying layer of menace that made everyone present feel a sudden weight on their shoulders.He turned his gaze across the room, eyeing everyone with a look that could freeze water. “I thought that everyone ha

The whispers were laced with a sense of disbelief, as if they were witnessing something far beyond their comprehension.“Richard, what should we do now?” Angela’s voice, usually so steady and confident, trembled with nerves as she watched Maya and her entourage approach, step by deliberate step.

Maya had an ulterior motive to reveal Richard's identity to everyone that day, and Richard was well aware of her manipulative intentions. As the situation unfolded, it became clear to him that Maya wasn't interested in a simple confrontation. She wanted to force Richard into a corner, expose him to his loved ones, and watch the chaos unfold. But despite her cruel strategy, Richard's focus was unshakable. There was nothing more important to him than the safety of Amelia. He would sacrifice anything, even his own secrecy, if it meant saving her.

The hidden heir of the Morgan Empire, the man who had kept his identity hidden for so long, would be revealed, and it would change everything.

After being slapped by Amelia, Richard was left in a state of utter shock. His body seemed to freeze in place, the sting of the slap still burning on his cheek as he stared at her, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts, none of which could form the right words. He had never expected this, never anticipated that his secret would unravel like this, nor that Amelia would be so devastated by it.“Richard,” Amelia’s voice was raw, filled with the weight of betrayal. “If you hadn’t told me this, how would I have known you were a super-rich heir? I always thought you were a poor orphan, so I, Amelia Hamilton, never cared if you had money!” Her words cut through the air, each one like a shard of glass piercing his heart.Richard felt the sharpness of her anger, the frustration in her eyes, and for the first time, he wondered if he had made the right choice by hiding everything from her.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
