The Rise of John Raymond
After years of humiliation, torment at school, working odd jobs, skipping meals, and enduring constant mockery, John had given up hope of ever becoming anything more than a loser. One night, following a brutal betrayal by the one person he trusted most, his girlfriend, and a humiliating setup by his classmates who had always despised him, John thought he'd reached his lowest point. He was rescued by his friend Anna, but hope still seemed out of reach.
Then came a phone call from an enemy holding his scholarship, demanding he meet her within 30 minutes. What was meant to be the end of his academic life, or possibly his entire future, turned out to be the very moment that changed everything.
On his way to that meeting, John encountered a life-altering revelation: he had just inherited billions overnight.
The guy they once laughed at now owned everything they could only dream of.
Now, it’s time for John Raymond, the student billionaire, to rise—and make every single one of them regret the day they ever crossed him.

Chapter: Showdown in the Shadows: A King Among PretendersAnna and Collins returned to John’s classroom with big smiles and a food pack in hand. They had stopped by a nearby restaurant to pick something up for him, hoping it would brighten his day after everything he had been through. But as they stepped into the class, the chairs were empty. The place was silent. No sign of John.Just as Anna turned to leave, a student walking by casually said, “You’re looking for John? They just arrested him. School security carried him to the HOD’s office for questioning or something like that.”Before he could even finish, Anna had already pulled out her phone. Her fingers were trembling slightly as she dialled John’s number.“John, where are you?” she asked immediately.“I’m home,” John replied calmly.She frowned. “You’re not serious. We were told you were arrested. Prove it—send me a video now.”John, still in his lounge, quickly switched the camera to selfie mode and recorded a short video, waving at the camera with a smirk. He sent it to her.Anna w

Chapter: Framed and Fallen: The Rise of the Young MasterThe classroom door flung open with a loud creak that silenced the entire room. Rose stormed in, her face boiling with self-righteous fury. Behind her were two stern-faced school security officers. Every eye turned to her, then to John. She didn’t waste time.“Take him to the HOD’s office,” she barked.The officers marched toward John like soldiers on a mission. Collins stood up in shock, but before he could speak, one of them pointed a warning finger at him. John, confused and calm despite the tension, stood without resistance.“What’s going on?” he asked.“You’ll find out soon enough,” Rose said coldly as she turned and led the way.Inside the Head of Department’s office, John stood face to face with Mr. Harrison—the HOD—Rose’s father. A man known for his disdain toward students from lower social ranks. The room reeked of arrogance and corruption. Rose stood smugly at her father’s side like a soldier who’d just dragged in a war criminal.Mr. Harrison didn’t even wait for John to take

Chapter: Retaliation in SilenceThe night air was still thick with echoes of disbelief and unanswered questions when John returned quietly to the hostel. The party in the hall raged on without him, but the energy had clearly shifted. Many students left early—some out of fear, others out of shame, and a few out of curiosity about who John truly was.Anna, Collins, and a few close friends had also left. They said nothing to each other as they walked back to their rooms, lost in thought. What had just happened that evening was more than a revelation—it was a shake-up that had changed the very hierarchy of the campus.John didn’t say a word to anyone as he entered his room. The lights were off. He didn’t turn them on. He just sat at the edge of his bed and stared into nothingness.He could still hear their voices—the whispers, the grumbling, the disbelief.“He’s a Raymond?” “So that’s where the money came from…” “But he used to sweep the lounges.” “I think he’s dangerous.”John didn’t flinch. He had made peace with h

Chapter: The RevelationThe grand hall, once filled with excitement, now fell into a thick, uneasy silence as the back doors swung open.Mr. Jack's voice boomed through the mic: "Everyone, stand in honor of a great personality entering this event."All students rose instantly, hearts pounding, eyes wide, phones slowly raised to capture the moment. Nobody could guess who it was—but everyone knew this wasn’t just another parent or sponsor.As footsteps echoed in the hallway, the shadows at the entrance split, revealing two men, each more intimidating than the last.The first man, dressed in a custom black suit, gold-framed glasses, and a stoic expression, was Mr. Raymond—a name that needed no introduction. He was the richest man in the country, the patriarch of the feared and powerful Raymond Empire, whose influence stretched across industries and governments alike.Beside him was Mr. David, the infamous Mafia leader—the same one who had struck fear into Jerry and the others the night before. He was still wea

Chapter: The Echo of PowerThe hall was hushed with anticipation as Mr. Jack adjusted the mic on the centre stage.“Noel and Jerry’s group, you may proceed,” he announced.With that, the crowd stirred like a tide crashing forward. It was time.Whispers shot across the room like electricity. Bets were made. Predictions were exchanged. Excitement was in the air. Most students were split into two sides—Team Noel and Team Jerry. Others, just curious spectators, leaned in, eager to see who would come out on top.Each group member walked confidently toward the secret donation room, leaving cheers behind them. They entered one by one, the tension building like steam in a kettle. Four went in first. Quietly. Swiftly. Then, Noel stood up, adjusted his cuffs, and moved toward the room.The whole room stood in applause.“Noel! Noel! Noel!”Seconds later, Jerry followed, tossing a smug grin toward John and Anna’s table. His new girlfriend blew him a kiss, and his entourage stood with pride.This was their moment. Their vic

Chapter: The Rise of the Forgotten OneJohn lay still on his bed, eyes wide open, the soft whirr of the ceiling fan above him doing nothing to calm the storm in his mind. The night before felt like a dream—too surreal to be true. The insults, the humiliation, the meal, Mr David’s warning, and the black card. That black card.He reached into his pocket, pulled it out, and stared at it.Solid. Real. Heavy with power.His other hand reached for his phone, the screen lighting up as he opened his banking app. His balance still sat there, unshaken, glaring at him in raw digits.$30,000,000.00He blinked. A tear slipped down his cheek, followed by another. Not tears of pain, not of sadness. These were tears of joy—the kind he hadn’t felt in years, maybe his whole life.He remembered the days he cleaned floors with bleeding fingers. The nights he cried himself to sleep on an empty stomach. The times he was spat on, slapped, mocked… like he was nothing. But now—now everything had changed.The door creaked open. Collins stepped in,
