Richard exhaled slowly, his chest tightening with the weight of his grandfather's words. His mind was a storm of conflicting emotions, each one crashing into the next. "You keep saying I need to accept being a Morgan, but what does that even mean?" His voice cracked slightly, a mix of frustration and desperation flooding through him. "Am I supposed to just forget everything I’ve been through with the Hamiltons? Forget about Amelia?"George’s eyes narrowed, his gaze hardening just slightly as he studied Richard. "The Hamiltons are insignificant compared to what you are now. They are part of a past that no longer matters." He paused, choosing his next words carefully. "Amelia..." He seemed to weigh his words, a rare moment of uncertainty crossing his face. "She is your wife, yes. But she will never understand what it means to be part of this world, and you know that."Richard’s jaw tightened, a flare of protective anger rising within him. "Amelia’s not like the rest of her family."Georg

Richard’s phone had been ringing incessantly, the shrill sound pulling him out of his thoughts. His hand shot out instinctively, his fingers trembling slightly as he checked the screen. He had several missed calls—one from James and the other from Marcus. The urgency in the number of calls was clear. Something was happening, something that required his immediate attention. His heart began to race as he opened his messages, finding one from Marcus that read: “Please sir, your urgent attention is needed in the office now.”Richard’s mind was already shifting gears, the weight of his responsibilities tugging at him. He had barely started to process everything that had happened with Amelia, but now the empire he was expected to lead was calling for him.Amelia, noticing the shift in Richard’s demeanor, couldn't help but feel the unease settle over her like a dark cloud. She watched him, her voice tentative as she asked, “What is it, Richard? Are you thinking of abandoning me for someone el

Richard stood in the office, his mind swirling as the weight of the situation sank deeper into his chest. The meeting was quickly taking shape, but he wasn’t about to jump to conclusions just yet. There was something in the air—something that made him wary of rushing into anything.“Marcus, get me the outfit,” James instructed, his voice firm and decisive.Richard watched as Marcus rose from his seat and walked toward the wardrobe with swift movements. It was clear that James was in command, and Richard, despite his new position, still had to follow orders to some extent. The world he had stepped into required more than just leadership—it demanded precision, control, and a level of composure he wasn’t entirely used to yet.Marcus returned shortly with a suit—no ordinary suit. This was a luxurious garment, the kind that could change the way the world saw him. As he held the suit out to Richard, the fabric shimmered with wealth. This was a million-dollar suit, and everything about it scr

Richard stood there, his mind a whirlwind as he tried to process the latest development. Harvey York’s words hung in the air, thick with implications. The tension in the room was palpable. Richard’s instincts screamed that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.“I know you’re confused about what I’m trying to say, but I will explain what I mean,” Harvey said, his tone direct and almost clinical. “Your relationship with Amelia is no longer guaranteed, so you should be looking for an alternative. I’m also sure Amelia doesn’t want you.”Richard’s heart skipped a beat. The room felt suddenly smaller, and the air grew thick. The last thing he had expected was this—the suggestion that Amelia, the woman he had fought so hard for, might not want him anymore. His chest tightened, and he glanced at James, who was now silent, his eyes watching the exchange with a passive intensity. Even James, who had always been the one to remain composed, didn’t seem to know how to react.Ri

When Scarlett saw Richard’s tense expression, she wasted no time in advancing. With a flirtatious glance, she stepped closer to him, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Mr. Morgan, are you free tonight? My friend just bought me a bottle of red wine from France. Do you want to come to my house and try it?” she purred, her voice smooth and inviting.Richard’s breath hitched for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. There was no mistaking what Scarlett was after, and he knew better than to entertain this distraction. “There’s no need. I have something on tonight…” he replied firmly, his words crisp, though his mind was still frazzled by the lingering effects of their earlier interaction.But Scarlett wasn’t done. With a swift, almost predatory movement, she reached into Richard’s jacket pocket, pulling out his phone. Richard’s eyes widened in surprise as she casually dialed her number and handed the phone back to him with a sly smile. “Mr. Morgan, this is my number. Remember to c

“Cut the crap. What did you do to Amelia?” Richard’s voice was a low, seething growl, the intensity of his anger vibrating through his clenched fists.Harvey York, still reeling from the force of Richard’s previous actions, shot back, a vein pulsing in his forehead. “Richard, you’d better move your feet off of me. Otherwise, I’ll make you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair…” he spat venomously. The humiliation he was experiencing was something he’d never felt before, and it ignited a fire in him that made his words even sharper.Richard, not backing down, leaned closer. His eyes were burning with fury. “Answer me! What did you do to Amelia?” His words were raw, desperate for answers. The possibility that Harvey had done something to Amelia, that he was actively keeping her from coming, was too much for Richard to bear.“Mr. Morgan…” James intervened, stepping forward cautiously. He knew that things were spiraling, that Richard’s anger could cloud his judgment. “You need to cal

Instead, the person who stepped out was the lobby manager of the Morgan Empire—Freya Davidson.Richard’s gaze landed on Freya, and for a brief moment, a flicker of disappointment crossed his face. He then shook his head, helplessly, and forced a bitter smile.“Miss Davidson, what are you doing here?”A trace of disappointment was evident on James’ face as he confronted Freya, his voice laced with anger.“Mr. James… I…”Freya’s voice trembled as she stammered, clearly unsettled by James’ sharp tone, and struggled to explain.“What is it?”James snapped, glaring at her, before continuing, “Didn’t I specifically tell you this morning that I have an important meeting? No one is allowed to interrupt us.”“Mr. James, I... I know it’s important, that’s why I came up…” Freya responded, her voice barely above a whisper.“What exactly are you doing here?”Harvey York, sensing Freya might be buying time for Richard, interrupted impatiently.Freya hesitated, stunned for a moment by Harvey’s outbur

The meeting room buzzed with the murmur of voices as more than a dozen men in suits filed in. The air was thick with anticipation, and Richard could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on him. He had thought he was prepared for this day, but the reality was starting to sink in.As his eyes scanned the room, Richard’s gaze landed on a familiar face—Maya.Maya. The same woman who had pressured him into revealing his true identity to the world. Her presence here now only reminded him of the uncomfortable truth that he had never asked for this power, nor had he wanted it. But now, it seemed, there was no turning back.Maya had come with a group of lawyers, men who, despite their sharp suits and stern faces, showed Richard nothing but respect. These were professionals, just like Richard, tied to the old Chairman’s legacy. They were there to ensure that the inheritance was handled according to the rules.Jasper stood beside Richard, silent but ever watchful, as if sensing the turmoil

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.

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
