As Richard felt the weight of everyone’s gaze upon him, he refused to break his composure. There was no need to explain his decision to anyone. What mattered now was the fact that he was moving on—leaving behind the life he once knew, stepping into a future he had only recently begun to understand.Charles and Oliver helped Richard pack up the few belongings he was taking with him. The room, once full of the clutter that had marked his humble life, now felt strangely empty. Only a few books, a few personal items, and his essentials remained—enough to mark a shift in his reality, but not enough to linger on the past.Outside, a car waited for him. The sleek vehicle was a clear contrast to the life he had lived before. It seemed almost symbolic of everything he had accomplished in such a short time—his past fading in the rearview mirror as he drove forward.Oliver clapped him on the back, his voice warm with affection. “We’ll miss you, Richard.”Richard gave him a reassuring smile, the w

Maxwell Crane stood tall, his face full of arrogance as he finally spoke, feeling secure with his men surrounding him and Richard in front of him. He believed this moment was his to control, with Richard clearly under his influence.“The Morgan Empire was always a thorn in the side of the Crane Empire, outpacing us, outperforming us. I had no choice but to align myself with the Knight Consortium, to take them down. We had to do what was necessary,” Maxwell said, his tone cold and calculated.Richard's rage boiled over at the casual admission of what Maxwell had done to his family. Without thinking, he lunged forward, anger flooding every inch of him. But before he could get close enough to do anything, one of Maxwell’s men shoved him back with force.“Richard, calm down!” Emily's voice was firm as she stepped in, helping him regain his footing. Her presence steadied him, her gentle touch grounding him as she whispered, “You can’t do this. Not here, not now. I know it hurts, but we need

After the party night with his friends to celebrate their victory over Maxwell Crane. Richard decided to head home to get some rest because it has been a long day for him. After 10 minutes of driving he finally gets to his mansion but notices a familiar face. “Amelia how long have you been here?”rRichard uttered, shocked on seeing Amelia at the entrance of his mansion. “I have been waiting all day just for you to arrive so that I will clear my doubt about your identity”Amelia replied. “You should have informed me about your arrival so that I won't keep you this long waiting for me outside the entrance of my mansion”Richard said. “There is no need for that now since you're here let's just go down to business and talk about the reason why I'm here”Amelia uttered, not impressed by the concern Richard was showing. “That's all right so what brings you here?”Richard asked curiously. “Richard, are you asking what brings me here? Don't you know the answer to that question.

Charles and Oliver as well as Christabel and Emily could fully understand what Richard wanted from them. So after the class they headed to a spot Richard had arranged for them to have their meeting. As it stands,they were now a team working together for the interest of the Morgan Empire. Richard was delighted to see his friends around him. “What is so important that you have to call me out here?”christabel asked curiously. “I called you out here because I have news concerning our next target which is Jonathan Palmer. While coming to school this morning I met Miss Lillian talking to Jonathan Palmer, the next rival of my father's company. It's so concerning and I'm really confused on how to go about this.”Richard expressed his concern to his friends. “We can't say for sure if Jonathan Palmer and Miss Lilian are working together so I believe we should just be positive about this and be careful on the step we have to take next”Emily opined. “I totally agree with Emily, we can

“I want you to kidnap someone for me,”Richard said. “Kidnap!’Marcus was stunned hearing what Richard had just said. “I’m actually doing this for an important reason,”Richard said, trying to calm Marcus. He could sense the tension from Marcus' voice knowing that he was trying to make Marcus do something that was not legally right. “Well I still have no choice than to obey your orders since I am working under you and I'm sure that you must definitely have a very important reason for making me do a thing like this”Marcus expresses conviction. “You're right Marcus. I won't tell you to do something like this if I have no important need for it” Richard replied. “So tell me who do you want me to kidnap?”Marcus asked curiously. “I want you to kidnap miss Lillian, a lecturer in my school”Richard replied “Hmph” “I'm only doing this because I found out that she has something to do with Jonathan Palmer who you know is a strong rival to the Morgan Empire. She could lead us to him and
