Derrick’s face went pale. Greg and Tom looked at each other in confusion. Richard took another step forward, forcing Derrick to instinctively take a step back. “So before you start making trouble for people who have done nothing to you, maybe you should worry about your own problems. Because trust me… if I know, others do too.” For the first time, Derrick had no words. His jaw tightened, fists clenched, but he knew he had been caught off guard. “Let’s go,” he muttered to his friends, turning away abruptly. Greg and Tom hesitated before following, clearly rattled by what had just happened. Oliver and Charles stared at Richard in disbelief. “Richard… what was that?” Charles asked. Richard simply smiled, picking up the last piece of chicken. “Just a simple conversation.” Oliver shook his head, still stunned. “How did you know about Derrick’s father?” Richard shrugged. “I have my ways.” The two friends exchanged glances but didn’t press further. They knew something about Richard w

The next day, Richard woke up before dawn, the first rays of sunlight barely beginning to filter through the curtains. His friends were still lost in sleep, unaware that the day ahead was not going to be the same for him. It was a free day for them—an opportunity to rest, but for Richard, it was something different. Today, he had planned to visit his grandfather, a journey he had been putting off for too long.Richard knew he had to leave quietly, so he wouldn't disturb his friends. As he reached for the door, his heart skipped a beat. The old wooden door creaked loudly, breaking the stillness of the early morning. The sound seemed to echo through the house, sharper than any whisper. It was enough to stir his friends from their slumber.Charles, ever the light sleeper, was the first to react. He shifted in bed, his eyes snapping open at the slightest noise. Richard watched, hoping he wouldn’t be noticed, but it was too late. Charles' gaze flicked to the door, his mind instantly piecing
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Twenty Eight
Richard understood what he was supposed to do now. His grandfather had given him a task that, though daunting, was necessary. He had to use his free time to visit some of his grandfather’s companies and observe firsthand how they operated. He wasn’t just the heir to a massive fortune—he was expected to understand the intricate workings of the businesses that made up the Morgan Empire. It was a heavy responsibility, and Richard knew that sooner or later, he would have to take charge.But for now, he could enjoy the moment. The meal his grandfather had prepared for him was exquisite—rich and comforting, like the bond they shared. Richard had savored every bite, his grandfather’s joy in feeding him clear in his eyes. They didn’t get to spend much time together anymore, and this rare meal, this rare moment of peace, made Richard feel truly grateful. It wasn’t often that he felt like he belonged somewhere, but with his grandfather, it was different. There was a warmth, an unspoken understan

When Richard arrived home, a wave of silence greeted him. His eyes quickly scanned the room as he realized that his roommates, Charles and Oliver, were nowhere to be found. A slight frown crossed his face as curiosity took hold. They were usually around, especially in the evening, but for some reason, the place was unusually quiet. He shrugged off the initial worry that gripped his chest. "They’ll be alright," he reassured himself, though a small seed of concern lingered in the back of his mind.The first thing he noticed was the state of the house—untidy, scattered clothes and belongings everywhere. Richard wasn’t one to leave things in disarray, and the sight of their neglected space tugged at his sense of order. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the task ahead. With a quiet determination, he grabbed the broom and started sweeping the floor, the rhythmic movement of the bristles against the wood offering him a strange sort of calm. He mopped the floor thoroughly, ensuring e

Richard stood in the queue at the Sovereign Chicken Republic, his thoughts swirling as his classmates continued to mock him. He could feel their eyes on him, the judgment, the ridicule. Yet, he kept his focus, determined not to let them get under his skin. He had been through too much already to let their words break him.Dominic had just finished ordering his meal, and Richard could feel the weight of their stares growing heavier as they waited for him to fail. They were all expecting him to walk away empty-handed, a victim of his own circumstances. They thought he was here to embarrass himself, to pretend he could afford such luxuries. But Richard had a secret they didn’t know—he wasn’t just any waiter anymore.“I don't think there's any need for you to disgrace yourself,” Natasha said with a cold laugh. “We already know you can’t afford this place. It would be better to just go to the manager, apologize, and ask for the job you came here for.”The mockery rang out, cruel and sharp.

Charles and Oliver quickly rushed forward, concerned and confused about Richard’s decision to place such an expensive order. They couldn’t help but wonder if Richard truly had the means to spend so much on a mere chicken."Do you really have that much to spend on a chicken?" Oliver asked, his voice laced with curiosity and disbelief.Richard, who had earlier assured them that there was no need to worry about him, remained calm. He didn’t feel the need to respond to their questions. Instead, he simply gave them a warm smile, one that showed he wasn’t bothered by their doubts. His composure suggested that he was confident, unaffected by their skepticism.“Don’t listen to him,” Dominic sneered from the back. “We all know he’s just a regular waiter. There’s no way he can afford to spend that kind of money on chicken.”The cashier, still processing the situation, glanced at Richard. She too was unsure. At first glance, he didn’t look like someone who could afford to make such an extravagant

The manager, realizing the severity of the situation, knew he had to act quickly. Richard was no ordinary customer, and the mistake made by the cashier was a serious one. The manager couldn’t afford to lose such an influential client, especially to a rival establishment.Turning towards the cashier, his expression was stern. The anger in his eyes was unmistakable as he addressed her.“So, you decided to turn down this notable customer without even trying his card? You didn't even give it a chance before dismissing him. This is not how we operate here,” the manager said, his voice steady but firm.The cashier, feeling the weight of his words, hesitated before answering. “I thought it wasn’t necessary to try the card, sir. It seemed like it was clearly not in use. He was just trying to waste our time.”The manager shook his head, disappointment evident in his demeanor. He had always prided himself on the reputation of the establishment, and he couldn’t allow such mistakes to tarnish that

The next morning, Richard had already woken up early, far earlier than usual. He was the first to rise, which was a drastic change from his usual routine. It was always Charles or Oliver who had to drag him out of bed, but this time, Richard took the initiative. He even woke Charles and Oliver up.Charles rubbed his eyes groggily as he sat up, clearly surprised to see Richard already dressed and ready for the day."What's gotten into you, Richard? You’re never the first one up," Charles asked, his voice thick with sleep as he tried to shake off the confusion.Richard smiled and shrugged. "I guess I woke up earlier than usual today. Decided to make use of the extra time and get ready for school."Charles blinked at him, still trying to process the shift in his friend's behavior. "Well, look at that. It seems you're learning from us after all. If you keep this up, you might just become one of the top students soon."Oliver, who had been waking up with much less enthusiasm than Charles, o

Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Three
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.

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
