The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Seventy-Four
Richard rushed back to the field, clutching the whistle and card in his hands. The match was already in full swing when he returned, and the atmosphere was tense. The game was more than just a match—it was a battle for the Chancellor's Cup, and the stakes were high for everyone involved. Richard, although not officially part of the class team, was still connected to the effort in his own way. His classmates were already anxious, hoping for a victory, but when they saw Charles's header give their team a lead, the atmosphere shifted from nervousness to excitement. However, the other team quickly equalized, and with that, the pressure began to build. The tension was palpable, and the once-celebratory mood now turned into a collective anxiety. It felt as if the class's hopes of winning were slipping away. The department of Psychology, which was the rival team, had clearly stepped up their game, and Richard's classmates realized that the match was far from over. Dominic, one of the star p

The tension was palpable as Richard returned to the field for the start of extra time. The psychology department had made several substitutions, bringing in new players—stronger, more aggressive individuals from the higher levels. These players were more seasoned and seemed determined to claim victory. The shift in their lineup was deliberate; they had noticed Richard’s remarkable performance and decided to strengthen their side with more formidable opponents.Oliver, still feeling the pressure, turned to Richard with a concerned look. “Can you say that this new person from their side is really bigger and stronger than us? Are you sure you will be able to win this game?”Richard didn’t hesitate. “If we put our all in, then we’ll do well, and we’ll win this game. Football isn’t about size or weight. It’s about skill, knowing how to handle the ball when it’s at your feet, and having the confidence to take on any challenge.”His words were directed at Oliver, who seemed unsure, but his te

The school cafeteria had become a makeshift celebration spot for Richard’s incredible performance on the field. The round table they gathered around was the same one where Charles, Oliver, and Richard were still processing everything that had unfolded. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, they couldn’t stop talking about Richard’s stunning display of football skill.“Richard, you’ve got to tell us how you’ve hidden such incredible talent all this time,” Charles said, still in awe.Richard leaned back in his chair, looking at the two friends with a quiet smile. “It’s something I’ve had since I was a child. I never really put much focus on it because of all the other things I’ve been busy with. It was just for fun. I never thought it would get to this level.”Oliver, trying to bring a little more light to the situation, added, “Well, if you ever do decide to give football a real shot, I’m sure you’d be amazing at it.”Richard shook his head slightly. “I appreciate it, but I don’t see foot

The tension in the classroom was palpable. Richard stood there, his heart pounding in his chest as his classmates glared at him, their eyes filled with contempt. The accusation was heavy, and the evidence seemed irrefutable. The money, which had been entrusted to the class for their project, was found in his desk. It was hard to deny it, especially when everyone around him seemed so convinced. “Richard, this is it. You’ve crossed the line,” Thomas sneered, his voice dripping with satisfaction as he stood with the banknotes in his hands. “How do you explain this?” Richard remained calm, though the weight of the situation pressed down on him like a thousand bricks. He was being accused of something he didn’t do, and it seemed that no one was willing to listen to his side of the story. “I didn’t steal the money,” Richard said, his voice steady, though his insides were churning. “This is all part of a setup.” “Enough!” Mr. Wade barked. “Don’t even try to spin this. We’ve seen the evide

Mr. Spencer watched in disbelief as Richard and Mr. James walked out of his office, the heavy atmosphere of tension lifting with each step they took. It felt as though his world had shifted in an instant. The young man he had planned to expel—someone he had written off as just another rebellious student—was now walking away unscathed, while he, the vice chancellor, was left with nothing but a bruised ego and a shaken confidence. The silence in the office was deafening."Mr. Wade," Spencer said in a voice that was barely above a whisper, his anger simmering beneath the surface. "What just happened?"Mr. Wade, still trying to process the situation, stood frozen for a moment. "I... I don’t know, sir. I never expected Mr. James to be involved. I thought we had this all figured out.""You thought wrong," Spencer snapped. His eyes narrowed. "How could you let this happen? Richard Morgan just outmaneuvered both of us, and now we're left looking like fools!"Mr. Wade shifted uncomfortably unde
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Seventy-Nine
Mr. Spencer, still recovering from the shocking revelation of Richard’s true identity, fixed his gaze on the young man who had just flipped the entire situation on its head. His initial disbelief and surprise were quickly replaced by a rising sense of urgency as he realized just how precarious his position had become. He had always thought of Richard as just another ordinary student, but now, the truth had been laid bare. Richard was not only the rightful owner of 70% of the shares at Willowbrook University, but he also had the ear of someone as powerful as Mr. James. This shift in power left Mr. Spencer reeling, trying to regain control of the conversation.Mr. Spencer’s voice faltered as he tried to maintain his composure. "So... you're telling me that Richard is the true owner of these shares... not James? That changes everything." He turned to Mr. Wade, who was equally stunned, and they shared a silent moment of realization. They had both underestimated Richard."Yes, Mr. Spencer,"

The classroom fell into a stunned silence. The revelation hung in the air like a thick fog, leaving everyone trying to process what they had just heard. Richard, who had long been the target of their scorn, stood there quietly, watching as Thomas, once so full of pride and confidence, now stood before them, confessing his guilt.The classmates were in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. Thomas had always been a model student—outspoken, popular, and admired by many. But now, all of that was tainted. His confession shattered the trust they had placed in him.Richard remained calm, not a hint of smugness or satisfaction on his face. He had seen this coming, but still, it was hard to watch the truth unfold in front of his peers. His gaze shifted to Stella, who had been one of the loudest voices in demanding his expulsion. Her face was pale, her lips trembling as she processed the situation. It was clear she hadn’t expected things to unfold this way. The same went for the rest of the cla
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Eighty-One
The class fell into an unsettling silence, the weight of Thomas’s confession hanging heavily in the air. No one could quite comprehend the magnitude of what had just been revealed—Thomas, the boy from a wealthy family, the one who was always seen as above reproach, had been the thief all along.Richard, who had always been on the receiving end of mockery and suspicion, now stood there, vindicated. The realization hit hard for everyone. Thomas, the one who had been pointing fingers at Richard, had played everyone for fools.As the silence stretched, Richard spoke, his voice steady but laced with a quiet anger. “So, it’s clear to all of you now. I was falsely accused. Thomas, here, was the one who tried to implicate me while all of you stood by and believed it without question.” He let the words sink in. “You all supported him, and when he accused me of stealing, you didn’t hesitate to believe him. But now that the truth has come out, you are left with nothing but shame.”Richard’s words

She was w

The room was dimly lit, filled with the faint scent of aged parchment and the musty air of old wood. Reed stood at the grand oak table in the center of the room, looking down at the Xan Ling herb that Richard had handed to him. The herb sat nestled within the cloth, its green hue still vibrant, but Reed’s experienced eyes quickly detected something off.He turned his gaze to Richard, his face uncharacteristically tense. “This herb is not complete.” His voice carried the weight of someone who had seen much more than most would care to imagine. “Where is the rest of it?”Richard hesitated, the weight of the question pressing on him more than he had anticipated. He had hoped the Xan Ling herb—the very thing that had come to define so much of his journey—would be met with praise, or at least relief. But Reed’s gaze pierced through him, searching for answers. The reality of the herb’s power, and the responsibility that came with it, had never seemed clearer.“It’s missing a part.” Richard

The journey to the Reed House was short but filled with anticipation. Reed, the enigmatic mentor and the person who had set Richard on this path, had long been a figure in the shadows of Richard’s life.

It was a rite of passage.When Richard arrived at the grand Reed House, he approached with a quiet resolve.

His eyes widened in shock as he recognized the figure standing before him—the young man who had disappeared for weeks, the one who was sent to retrieve the herb.“Richard?” the assistant asked, disbelief in his voice. “You’re aliv

At first, there was nothing. Kai’s breathing remained shallow, his body still trembling. But then, something began to happen. Slowly, the color returned to his cheeks, the paleness that had gripped his face receding. Richard watched, astonished, as the Xan Ling herb’s power began to work.Kai’s breathing deepened, becoming more steady. His chest rose and fell in a calmer rhythm than it had before. Richard and Zara exchanged a look of disbelief.“Is it working?” Zara whispered, her eyes wide as she watched Kai’s condition improve.Richard didn’t answer immediately. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from Kai’s transformation. The herb was healing him—it was undeniable.“I think it is.” Richard’s voice was full of awe. “It’s... it's healing him, Zara. The herb—it’s doing something to him.”Slowly, Kai’s eyes fluttered open, his gaze becoming more focused. He looked up at Richard and Zara, a soft, weak smile appearing on his lips. “What... what happened?”Richard leaned over him, relief floo

The morning light filtered through the small, cracked window of the room they had taken in a modest hotel. The air felt different now—colder, sharper—as if the world had changed after their journey up the mountain. The three of them had made their way out of the remote area, leaving behind the remnants of the Xan Ling herb and the dangers they had faced. They had reached the safety of the hotel, their minds still reeling from the events of the previous day, and they had hoped to rest, gather their thoughts, and prepare for the next step in their journey.For Richard, the night had been a much-needed respite. The pain and exhaustion that had weighed him down during his escape had faded as he slept, and by morning, his wounds were completely healed. It was as if the ordeal of the previous day had never happened. The bruises, cuts, and bruising were gone, and his body felt rejuvenated—a feeling of vitality that he had not known in months. The power of the herb, he realized, must have pla

The mountain loomed large, its shadow stretching over the landscape like a dark omen. Zara and Kai stood at the base of the mountain, staring at the devastation. The cave had collapsed, the rocks and debris blocking any chance of entry, and the hours had passed in an agonizing silence. Richard had gone in after the Xan Ling herb, and they had waited, hoping against hope that he would emerge from the rubble. But as time wore on, their hope began to fade.Zara could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on her chest. She had stayed strong for Kai, but the uncertainty of Richard’s fate gnawed at her. She had never felt so helpless. Richard had insisted on going alone, to claim the herb, to end the quest that had consumed them all. And now, it seemed like his determination had led him into the very heart of the mountain’s wrath.Kai, leaning heavily on his uninjured leg, finally broke the silence. His voice was quiet, almost resigned. “Zara, we’ve waited long enough. We can’t jus

Richard reached the pedestal. The Xan Ling herb sat atop it, glowing with an otherworldly green light. It was more magnificent than he could have ever imagined—its energy hummed in the air, vibrant and powerful. This was the source of everything. It had the power to change the world, to give him the strength to exact his revenge, to shape his future.But before Richard could reach out and touch it, a loud, rumbling crash reverberated through the cave. The ground beneath him shuddered, and dust and rock fell from the ceiling. The mountain was collapsing.Richard’s heart skipped a beat. The mountain was angry—the land itself rejected the intrusion. The Xan Ling herb had always been hidden for a reason. No one could control it.Tian Jun slowly got to his feet, a faint, sad smile on his lips. “It’s over. You’ve triggered the collapse. The mountain will not let you take it.”The walls began to crack, and the ceiling above them started to crumble. Richard’s eyes widened as the rocks fell fr

“It’s over, Richard.” Tian Jun’s voice was cold, filled with the weight of finality. He stepped into the cave, his gaze locking with Richard’s. “I can’t let you take it.”Richard turned to face him, his eyes burning with fury. “You don’t get to decide this! We’ve fought for this. I will take it.”The air grew thick with tension, the mountain rumbling as if in response to the two men’s struggle. Tian Jun’s expression hardened, his eyes flashing with cold anger. “If you want it, Richard, you’ll have to take it from me.”Richard’s hand tightened around his blade. This was it. The moment he had been waiting for, the final test. If he wanted the herb, he would have to fight for it—against the very man who had brought them here.As Richard stepped forward, Tian Jun raised his hand, and the ground beneath them shifted once more. The earth trembled, and the cave walls began to crack and crumble, as if the mountain itself had had enough of this conflict.Tian Jun’s expression softened for a mo

The forest was eerily quiet after the battle, the only sound being the distant echo of the wind whispering through the trees. Kai, bloodied and bruised, lay on the ground, his body battered from the savage fight with the Guardian leader. Richard’s heart pounded in his chest as he looked at his friend, who had pushed himself to the limit, fighting with everything he had to protect them.
