David’s expression shifted instantly upon seeing Caleb. His heart sank as a chill ran through his spine. Quickly, he plastered a smile on his face, attempting to mask the fear beginning to creep in. “Mr. Stones, you’ve really misunderstood me,” he said, his voice forced and trembling. “It’s not that I want to cause trouble here, but someone hit me and now insists I apologize.”Caleb’s eyes narrowed as he studied the scene, his lips curling into a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Is that so? Then I must see who dares to be so arrogant.”Not realizing that Richard was already in the room, Caleb took a few steps forward, eager to handle the situation. But when he saw Richard’s face clearly, his steps faltered, his body frozen in place. His breath hitched, and the color drained from his face as he stood there, rooted to the spot.The room went still. The rich heirs, who had been watching with varying degrees of amusement, all exchanged glances filled with disbelief. They had assume

David’s face twisted in disbelief as he wiped the blood from his lip. His entire body trembled, not just from pain, but from humiliation. He had never imagined that someone would dare to lay hands on him, let alone someone like Richard. As he struggled to rise, his voice cracked with fury.“You think you can just walk away after doing that to me?” David snarled, his eyes burning with rage. “I won’t let this go so easily!”Richard, his posture still unwavering and calm, locked eyes with David. He could feel the tension in the room thickening. The air felt heavy, suffocating, as if the entire room was holding its breath. David, still kneeling, could not escape the weight of his own pride.“Apologize,” Richard’s voice was low, firm, and unyielding. “Apologize to my fiancée, and this will be over.”David's teeth clenched, and his face reddened in a mixture of anger and shame. His eyes, though filled with hatred, flickered with fear. He knew that if he didn’t apologize, the consequences wou

David’s eyes blazed with fury, his hands shaking as he wiped the blood from his face. The pain was nothing compared to the humiliation gnawing at his pride. “What are you going to do now?” he spat, his voice dripping with venom. “Do you think you can just walk away after beating me like that?”Richard didn’t even flinch. He stood tall, his presence unshaken, as he coolly eyed David. The silence between them was thick, but it didn’t faze Richard. With a calmness that sent a chill through the room, he stepped forward, his gaze unwavering.“Get lost,” Richard said simply, his tone like steel.David’s pulse quickened as fear crept into his veins. He took two hurried steps back, his eyes wide with panic. “What... What do you think you’re doing?” he stammered, trying to regain some semblance of control. But deep down, he knew it was slipping away. Richard wasn’t the man he had assumed him to be.Richard didn’t answer. He just stood there, a quiet storm of intent behind his eyes. But when Dav

“Seeing that you stood up for Amelia today, this young lady will reluctantly agree to you being together with Amelia!” Angela’s voice rang out, sharp and teasing, as she eyed Richard closely, waiting for some kind of reaction. But when he didn’t respond right away, her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of irritation creeping in.Amelia’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson as her gaze turned hard and focused. “Angela, what nonsense are you spouting here?” she retorted, her voice a blend of embarrassment and irritation. Her eyes locked on Angela’s, and there was an unmistakable intensity in her glare. “What does it have to do with you whether I’m with Richard or not?”Angela shrugged nonchalantly, a sly smirk playing at the corners of her lips. “Oh, come on, Amelia,” she teased, leaning in just a little closer. “Don’t pretend to be innocent here. I heard everything you said last night. Aren’t you already prepared to agree…” Her words trailed off as she let the implication hang in the air, a teas

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

“To make Williams follow her so obediently, this woman’s background must be extraordinary!”The murmurs of the rich heirs who had gathered to watch the unfolding spectacle grew louder, filled with awe and fear. They couldn’t help but speculate on the power Maya wielded, an aura of unquestionable authority surrounding her like an impenetrable shield. 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. She felt her heart pounding in her chest, the situation rapidly escalating into something she couldn’t control. The oppressive atmosphere felt heavier with each passing moment, and she instinctively sought Richard’s calmness, hoping he could provide an answer.Richard, ever composed, glanced over at Angela with a reassuring smile that didn’t quite r

“Ah…”Amelia’s scream pierced the air as she instinctively shut her eyes, paralyzed by fear.In that very moment, blood splattered.However, to her shock, the blade didn’t slash across her face as she had feared. Instead, it buried itself deep into Ethan's back.In the blink of an eye, just as Williams lunged to attack again, Richard surged forward, throwing himself between them and using his body as a shield to protect Amelia.“Ugh…”The sharp pain seared through Richard's body, causing him to gasp. He staggered, his breath ragged from the sudden injury.Amelia’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Richard. She had never imagined that he would risk his life to protect her like this.“Ethan… are… are you okay? Are you out of your mind?” Amelia’s eyes filled with tears as she rushed to his side, her voice cracking with concern.Richard lifted his head, forcing a strained smile through the agony. He whispered, his voice almost a whisper, “If that knife had hit your face… how could

Richard took a deep breath and slowly squatted down, the weight of the decision clearly pressing on him.As Maya observed Richard’s movement, a smug smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She knew that her manipulation was working—Richard was cornered, and she had finally achieved what she set out to do.Amelia, Angela, and the others, unaware of the internal conflict Richard was battling, could only watch him. They noticed his reluctance, the clear struggle on his face. The air around them was heavy with tension. Richard seemed deeply conflicted, torn between choices that no one would want to make.Still, despite the conflict raging inside, Richard reached out, picked up the phone, and gritted his teeth as he stood back up, determination flashing in his eyes."Seems like love really does make heroes act," Maya taunted, a mocking smile playing on her lips.Richard’s gaze was cold as he stared back at her. "You think this is some kind of game?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous. "

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
