Andrew couldn’t shake the feeling that today’s events were strange, almost surreal. If not for Winston’s words, he never would have believed that the powerful figures present were here because of Richard. It didn’t make sense. Richard, who had once been dismissed as a nobody, was suddenly at the center of all this attention. Andrew felt his mind racing with disbelief.But amidst his confusion, one thing was undeniable: today was a turning point for the Andrews family. While Andrew might have been the one to host the gathering, it wasn’t him who reaped the true rewards. No, the real beneficiaries of the day were Amelia’s mother, Lady Hamilton, and the entire Hamilton family.The business moguls and influential figures in the room were all well aware of the connection between Amelia, Richard, and Lady Hamilton. In this moment, they all saw an opportunity to secure themselves a powerful ally—Richard’s future mother-in-law. The realization hit Andrew like a freight train: this wasn’t just

Richard’s gaze lifted to meet Tristan’s, a flicker of confusion crossing his face. “Do we know each other?” he asked, his voice steady, though a slight frown tugged at his brow.Tristan, unfazed by the question, smiled with quiet confidence. “Mr. Morgan, you may not know me, but I know you. I’m Tristan from Travio Corporation,” he said softly, his tone polite but laced with respect.“Oh,” Richard responded with a subtle nod, his thoughts racing as he tried to place the name. His mind, however, remained blank, and he didn’t press the matter further.Tristan, sensing Richard’s disinterest, continued with a measured voice, “Mr. Morgan, I came here today primarily to celebrate Andrew's retirement. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way now.”“Alright,” Richard replied, a deep sigh of relief escaping him. He had been half-expecting Tristan to say something that might complicate the situation, but thankfully, Tristan remained composed.With a brief smile directed at Amelia, Tristan turne

As Richard made his way back into the restaurant, he was immediately swarmed by a crowd of people. The room seemed to shift as these individuals, who had put in a great deal of effort to be here today, eagerly surrounded him. The gifts they had brought for Andrew were worth millions, a display of wealth and status. They knew that in order to get their money’s worth, they had to make an impression on Richard. The stakes were high—if they didn’t make a connection with him, the lavish gifts might as well have been wasted.Richard, aware of the weight of the situation, didn’t dare lose his composure. With the Andrews Family watching, he couldn’t afford to be anything less than courteous. He took a deep breath, bracing himself for the endless stream of conversations, and began to engage with them as best as he could.Meanwhile, Lilian, unable to suppress her curiosity any longer, approached Amelia with a mixture of confusion and disbelief. Her voice was low but tinged with incredulity. "Ame

“Mr. Morgan, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave now!” Winston said with a polite smile, his tone formal but with an underlying respect.“Alright,” Richard replied with a calm nod, his eyes briefly following Winston as he prepared to leave. Richard felt a wave of relief—he could hardly wait for Winston and Parker Jr to be gone. The tension was beginning to drain from him, and the last thing he wanted was to prolong this uncomfortable encounter.Just as Winston turned to leave, Angela, who had been quietly observing the exchange, spoke up, her voice cutting through the air. “Right, I remember there’s another person who should apologize to Richard.”Her words immediately caught everyone’s attention. The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Angela, confusion painting their faces.“Angela, what do you mean by that?” Connor Andrew, puzzled, asked as he turned toward his daughter.The question lingered in the air, as everyone wondered who could possibly need to apologize to Richa

Rubin took a deep breath, his frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. With a stiff, deliberate motion, he turned around and walked toward Brooklyn, still trying to process the unexpected turn of events.“Andrew, your retirement banquet is winding down, and I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave now,” Brooklyn announced, his tone flat and devoid of warmth.Andrew, sensing Brooklyn’s distant mood, nodded but said nothing. He understood that his old friend wasn’t in the best of spirits. With a final nod, Brooklyn turned and made his way out of the restaurant, leaving Andrew no chance to ask him to stay.Once Brooklyn had left, Gabriel Andrews, feeling the weight of the situation, exchanged a few words with Andrew before quickly departing as well.In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the restaurant shifted, leaving only Amelia, Richard, and a few others behind. The energy had shifted—Andrew felt a new kind of curiosity gnawing at him as he turned toward R

When Andrew spotted Richard, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly made his way toward him, his voice filled with a warmth that hadn't been there before. "Richard, you're back!" he exclaimed, his tone almost jubilant."Yeah," Richard replied, offering a small, helpless nod. Despite the warmer reception, he couldn't shake the weight of everything that had transpired."Are you tired from all the fun?" Andrew asked, showing genuine concern. "Sit down, relax for a bit!"Andrew’s behavior was a sharp contrast to the coldness he had shown earlier at the restaurant, when he had tried to push Richard away. His hand gently pulled Richard toward the sofa, guiding him with a sense of affection that felt almost out of place considering their history.The other members of the Andrews family, too, seemed to have a change of heart. They spoke with a newfound politeness, their tone much softer than before. It was clear they were now treating Richard with a level of respect that had been abse

Richard sat on the edge of his bed, his mind racing. He couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. His heart pounded as he replayed the events of the day in his mind, trying to make sense of who could have leaked his whereabouts.He knew he had to find out who had exposed his identity. If Amelia had learned the truth about him, everything he’d worked for—his carefully cultivated persona, his efforts to keep his background hidden—would be for nothing.At first, when Joshua and Christopher arrived, he thought it was merely a coincidence. After all, he had met them at Immortal Lake Manor, so it made sense they would recognize him. But then, as more company executives showed up—people he didn’t recognize—he realized something was off. It couldn’t just be a coincidence. Someone had to have told them.Richard felt a tightening in his chest as he thought about the few people who knew his secret. There was Fabian, there was Mr. James, and then… well, no one else knew he wa

Richard lay on the floor, staring up at the ceiling, feeling as though the universe had flipped upside down. Just hours ago, he had thought there might be something more between him and Amelia tonight, but now he found himself on the cold, hard floor, his mind swirling with confusion and frustration. He had thought it would be different.“If you don’t want to sleep on the floor, I can put on my clothes and leave for a hotel,” Amelia’s voice broke through his thoughts, laced with concern.Richard’s heart sank at the thought of her leaving, even if it was only for a moment. He quickly intercepted her as she stood up, her intention clear. “Never mind, it’s late. It’s dangerous for you to go out alone, and your parents would bombard me with questions if you left. Let’s just make do with this,” he said, his voice carrying a mixture of helplessness and concern for her safety.Amelia hesitated but slowly sat back down, her expression softening. She didn’t want to force Richard to suffer like

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
