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: CHAPTER 114: Confronting Your FearsSarah’s breath caught in her throat as the grip around her waist tightened. She struggled, pushing against the arms that pinned her, but the man only pulled her closer until she could feel the hard ridges of his abs pressed against her. Panic raced through her chest, yet the faint, familiar scent that clung to him made her freeze. Her heart sank. She knew that scent.“Daniel…” she gasped, her voice breaking as recognition struck.The man stopped. His grip eased slightly, though his anger radiated in silence. Sarah had not seen him in months, and though she had imagined many things about their next encounter, she had never expected this—him dragging her like a criminal, his breath heavy against her ear.Earlier that day she had caught a glimpse of him lingering near the competition field. She had wanted to confront him then, to demand why he was stalking her, but her professor’s urgent message had forced her into a five-hour lecture that consumed her focus. All she had thought of after

Chapter: CHAPTER 113: The DecisionThe live coverage of the stampede continued for a week. Every news station played and replayed the horrific images, each with its own version of the story, and the city was still gripped by fear and unanswered questions. The school board and the competition committee had no choice but to set up an emergency meeting. They had to decide whether the competition could continue, and even more urgently, they had to uncover what had caused the stampede despite all their careful preparation and safety measures.The conference hall at the school, where the most important meetings were always held, was filled to capacity. The atmosphere was heavy. The agenda was simple: either stop the competition entirely or move forward. But beneath that simplicity lay deeper consequences. The incident had drawn the attention of the FBI and the presidency. What once looked like a tragic accident was now being treated as a possible terrorist attack.At exactly 10 a.m., the meeting began. School board represent

Chapter: CHAPTER 112: TrappedJohn drifted in and out of consciousness, his body sore, his head heavy. Though his eyes remained shut, he knew he was moving. The rhythmic clatter of wheels, the constant sway from side to side, and the muffled rattles of metal around him told him he was on a train.He tried to make sense of his surroundings. Every turn, every shift, he tapped his feet against the floor to map the journey in his mind. But the effort was useless. He wasn’t secured to anything steady; instead, his body rolled like luggage, wedged among containers that knocked into him with every movement.He tested the ropes again, twisting his wrists until they burned. The fibres dug deeper the harder he fought, tightening against his skin. Whoever tied him knew what they were doing.“Who the hell is behind this?” he thought bitterly. He had enemies, yes, but this—this was brazen. Whoever orchestrated it had power, influence, and a dangerous level of confidence.Images flashed in his head—the last time he had seen Ann

Chapter: CHAPTER 111: Reconnecting with My FriendCollins froze. His heart pounded as he felt something tugging at his clothes. For a second, he prayed it was nothing more than fabric snagged on a chair or a loose wire. He didn’t dare look back. Instead, he frantically used his free hand to unhook himself.Then he felt it—warmth. A soft hand gripping his own.He turned sharply, terrified, only to find a patient looking up at him. Her eyes were weak, her lips trembling, and her fingers clung to his sleeve as though holding onto life itself.“Oh—I am so sorry,” the young woman said quickly, noticing the horror etched across his face.“You almost killed me!” Collins snapped, his voice loud enough to make nearby patients stir. His fear had tricked him into imagining something crawling over him, some insect carrying infection or worse.The girl’s eyes widened. “I said sorry. You… you look so much like my friend. I thought he had finally come to say hello.”Collins let out a heavy breath and forced himself to calm down. “It’s fine. Just… t

Chapter: CHAPTER 110: The OfferThe media head sat back in his chair, staring at Jerry with narrowed eyes. He was cautious, unwilling to give in too quickly. He knew the power of the flash drive he held and how much Jerry wanted it. If he gave the video away without leverage, Jerry would vanish with his prize, leaving him empty-handed.Jerry grew impatient. His jaw tightened as he pulled out his phone, quickly typing a message to the volunteer. Send me the video now. Time was slipping away, and every second mattered.The media head leaned forward. “My offer is simple. You give me a blank promise—one I can use whenever I choose.” His tone was steady, almost arrogant. He believed Jerry had no choice.Jerry let out a strained laugh. “That’s a lot to ask for a video, don’t you think?” He tried to chip away at the man’s confidence, downplaying the video’s worth.But the media head didn’t flinch. “I don’t. I know exactly how valuable this video is to you.”Jerry’s eyes darkened. “Oh really? I can just get a copy from the

Chapter: CHAPTER 109: ResurrectedCollins ran as fast as his legs could carry him, his chest heaving and his lungs burning. He didn’t stop until his body forced him to. Bent over, hands on his knees, he gasped for air.“What the heck was that?” he muttered between breaths, his heart still pounding wildly.When he finally straightened, he turned to look behind him and was shocked by the distance he had covered. “I can’t believe I just ran two miles,” he whispered, disbelief written across his face.“Finally, I caught up with you,” a voice said from behind, breathless but sharp. “How can you let an injured person chase you like this? You’re lucky it’s just a scratch on my hand. Otherwise…”Collins spun around. It was the girl obsessed with John, though she looked different—calmer, stripped of her usual manic energy. For a moment, Collins simply stared, his mind struggling to place where he had seen her before.“I’m so sorry,” Collins said when his breathing steadied. “I thought it was…”“You thought I was Anna, right?”
