Richard couldn’t believe what was happening. The audacity of Clara, setting him up and tarnishing his reputation with his family, only to now call him to meet her? He shook his head in disbelief.“She must really have some guts,” Richard thought to himself, his frustration rising. “She set me up, damaged my image, and now she wants to meet me. She must be a crazy lady.”But, there was no other choice. If Richard wanted to clear his name, he had to meet Clara. He couldn’t let the situation escalate any further, especially with Amelia starting to question him.He made his way to the Belaradal restaurant, a place a little farther from the house, but none of it was on his mind. All he could think about was finding Clara and discovering who had orchestrated this entire setup.It didn’t take long for him to arrive. He bypassed the security guard in a hurry, barely even acknowledging him as he rushed toward the entrance. Richard's mind was focused solely on confronting Clara and unraveling th

Richard’s gaze never left Clara as she sat across from him, her expression both calculating and confident. She had set him up, tarnished his reputation, and now, with a cool detachment, she was asking for money to expose those who were behind it. But Richard had no choice—he needed answers, and if it meant paying Clara to get them, so be it.“How much will be enough for you to tell me who’s behind this?” Richard asked, his voice stern but controlled.Clara stared at him, disbelief flashing across her face. She hadn’t expected him to be so bold, especially considering how desperate he seemed earlier. In her mind, she was calculating the situation, wondering just how much Richard would be willing to pay.“Will he really be able to give me any amount I want?” she wondered silently, her mind shifting through possibilities. After a brief pause, she spoke, her tone more transactional than emotional. “Before meeting you, I was offered a million dollars to go against you. If you can top that,

Everyone knew Mr. Gerald as the manager of Kingston Bank, one of the most reputable financial institutions in the country. When he walked into the restaurant with a briefcase, everyone in the vicinity could guess that it contained a large sum of money. But what shocked them the most was that he was approaching Richard.“Mr. Richard, I came with the $2 million you requested,” Mr. Gerald said, his voice steady as he handed over the briefcase.Richard’s eyes lit up with satisfaction. This was exactly the moment he’d been waiting for. His strategy was falling into place.“You can drop the briefcase with Clara,” Richard said, motioning toward her. His voice was calm, but there was an undeniable authority in it now.Clara, who had been watching from her seat, was visibly excited. $2 million—this was more than she could have ever dreamed of. For a moment, she even wondered if she had made the right choice by siding with Richard. This kind of payout would certainly change her life.“Are you su

Richard had no time to waste on Mr. Lugard and his wife. Every second felt precious, every moment slipping away from him as he thought about Amelia, the woman he was desperate to be with. He had to prove his innocence—her belief in him depended on it.“We’re done here,” Richard muttered, his voice sharp, filled with a mixture of frustration and determination. “Let’s go. There’s no point wasting any more time.”With a curt nod, he parted ways with Mr. Gerald, the conversation fading into the background as Richard made his way home, eager to see Amelia. His thoughts raced, wondering how she would react to the evidence he’d gathered. Would it be enough to convince her? Would she believe him?Meanwhile, Amelia sat at home, her attention split between the documents in front of her and the unsettling thoughts that had been swirling in her mind all morning. The sound of footsteps interrupted her concentration, and she looked up to see Richard entering the study.“Have you found anything that

As Richard made his way back to the dorm, his steps were quick, but his mind was focused. He was aware of the subtle shift in the air—the tension that came with the presence of danger. He could tell they were thugs just from their appearance. Their heavy footsteps grew louder, and soon, he realized they were closing in on him. The path ahead was empty, the lonely stretch of road offering no escape, and no one nearby to hear his calls for help.Richard's heart raced, but he tried to remain calm. He couldn’t afford to panic. He considered diverting to another path, but as he glanced over his shoulder, he saw they were following him, surrounding him with no clear way out."Who are you guys, and why have you kept following me?" Richard asked, trying to keep his voice steady. Despite his calm tone, a flicker of panic bubbled within him. He was outnumbered, and they were closing in fast.One of the men, who appeared to be their leader, took a step forward, eyeing Richard with a fierce expres

After a while of being unconscious, Richard slowly regained his senses. He felt disoriented, his head heavy, and when he looked around, he realized he was tied to a chair. Panic bubbled up inside him, but he quickly suppressed it, forcing himself to stay calm.He looked around, trying to figure out where he was, and his mind immediately jumped to conclusions. Could this be the work of my father’s enemies? Richard thought to himself. He had been warned by James about his new rivals and the lengths they were capable of going to, but he hadn’t taken the warnings seriously. Now, however, it seemed like one of those threats was coming to life.As he sat there, trying to make sense of his situation, the sound of footsteps grew closer. The door creaked open, and Richard’s heart skipped a beat as he recognized the figures walking toward him.“You’re finally awake,” Dominic said, his voice dripping with disdain.Richard’s eyes widened in shock as he saw Dominic, Jane, and Brian. He had never ex

Richard remained tied to the chair, trying to maintain his composure despite the mounting tension. As he looked at the three figures in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief. Could they really be this foolish? he thought. Dominic, Jane, and Brian had taken things too far, and now they were determined to make him pay.“Really? Or maybe he might actually break your leg instead,” Richard responded confidently, his voice unwavering.The statement threw Dominic and the others off balance, but they quickly recovered, trying to maintain their superiority. They exchanged uncertain glances, but Richard didn’t flinch.“You really want to die, don’t you?” Jane said, her voice laced with venom. “Just wait a little while for Natt Wade. Then I’ll see if you have the guts to talk back to him.”Richard couldn’t help but chuckle. His calm demeanor only seemed to irritate them further.They stared at him, baffled. “Do you think we’re joking here?” Dominic asked, fury building in h

As Richard sat there, contemplating the situation, he could feel the shift in the atmosphere around him. The fear in Dominic, Jane, and Brian's eyes was unmistakable. They were terrified of what Natt Wade could do to them. The realization that Natt was the one they had feared all along gave Richard a strange sense of empowerment.Natt Wade, with his deep loyalty to Richard, was a powerful ally. Richard had hoped his actions would send a message, and now he was getting the confirmation he needed. He looked at Natt Wade, then back at the trembling trio.“Natt Wade, I think you should let them go for now,” Richard said calmly. “But on the condition that they never disturb me again. If I’m ever faced with trouble from them, then you can do whatever you want with them— even beat them with ten thousand strokes of a cane, which I doubt they would survive.”The cold, composed words sent a chill through the room. Natt Wade, ever the obedient servant, nodded without hesitation. He refrained from

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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
