2024-04-18 01:17:30Richard struggled to make sense out of what his grandfather had said.He was still yet to overcome the shock of finding the identity of his parents,yet his grandfather had dropped another shocking news.for him.He wondered how many times he would be surprised before he would be able to take a break.
“The Morgan Empire heir?” Richard asked.
“Yes, you are the Morgan Empire heir” Richard grandfather answered.
Richard was shocked once again.As a student in school he knows what a business empire was.He was aware that anyone who claims to have an empire was very wealthy.
A business empire is a collection of businesses with the shared highlighted management especially one ultimately under the control of one individual.
Richard looked at his grandfather differently.This revelation explained why everything here was so luxurious and why his grandfather butler was able to drive a car as expensive as a Rolls-Royce.
Richard was confused as he wasn't familiar with the Morgan Empire.The fact he was poor didn't mean that he was ignorant.He also knew about some top companies like the one headed by George Prescott,the famous Prescott winery company of which Dominic was the heir.
“Grandfather,you said I'm the heir to the Morgan Empire? Richard asked.
“Yes you are,” His grandfather replied.
“But how come I haven't heard of any top companies bearing the Morgan name?
His grandfather however sighed when he heard his grandson's question.However he didn't blame him.It was expected as only the Morgan heir knows how much of wealth is in his control.
His grandfather just went to his desk where he has documents on.He picked one of the documents and handed the documents to Richard before speaking.
“The companies listed there are under the Morgan Empire.I have all these companies under my control and management.”
Richard looked at his grandfather before going through the documents in his hands.What Richard found out made his jaw drop.
He was overwhelmed by what he just found out.
He had thought that nothing would be able to shock him again,but what he saw had completely blown his mind away.
In the documents were not just top companies in Vatican town but top companies in the world with the least company having a yearly revenue of $10B.
There were several widely acclaimed businesses on the list.
The list also includes luxury stores,top rated hotels and several mineral and oil wells that were part of the Morgan Empire.
Richard felt his head spinning when he looked at the yearly revenue of each of the businesses listed in the documents.Some investments like the oil wells even made close to 100 billion dollars yearly.
Richard's grandfather noticed that Richard had finished going through the documents he handed over to him.He cleared his throat loudly,drawing the attention of Richard.When he saw that Richard's attention was focused on him,he spoke up.
“Richard all these companies are no longer on my name”
Richard's eyes widened.
“What do you mean by that Grandfather?”Richard asked curiously.
“Calm down Richard.The companies and businesses were under my name,because your father who was supposed to inherit them passed away too soon.Now I'm just an old man,who wants to relax and look after his health.
“But you are a healthy grandfather, what do you mean by looking after your health?"Richard asked surprisingly.
“ I'm tired Richard.I have been the head of the Morgan Empire for 35 years and it's time for you to take your rightful position.There is no reason to try and change my mind.I have already transferred and registered all these companies under your name.”
“I know it's sudden for you to take up this great responsibility but you have to accept your new role now.Don't worry I've notified every manager of those businesses that you are the new head of the Morgan Empire.Once you tell them who you are then you will be treated with utmost respect.
Richard's grandfather insisted that he had to take up his responsibility as the new heir of the Morgan Empire.

Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Six
Richard stepped into the bustling restaurant with a sense of anticipation that had been building ever since he had learned that Amelia had returned to town. It had been a while since they had last seen each other, and despite the chaos of his recent journey, he found himself looking forward to their meeting. He had arranged for them to meet at one of the newest restaurants in town—a place with sleek, modern décor and an atmosphere that promised a peaceful evening amidst the storm that had been his life recently.As Richard walked toward the entrance, his eyes immediately found her.Amelia was seated at a table near the window, her elegance apparent even from across the room. She looked stunning as always, her features framed by the soft, golden light of the restaurant. She wore a deep blue dress that complemented her figure perfectly, her long hair cascading down in waves, and her eyes—those eyes that always seemed to carry an aura of mystery—were focused on something ahead. She was w
Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Five
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
Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Four
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. His training had been harsh, filled with tests of strength, wit, and endurance. But this final mission—the retrieval of the Xan Ling herb—was more than just another task. It was a rite of passage.When Richard arrived at the grand Reed House, he approached with a quiet resolve. The house was a large, ancient structure, perched atop a hill and overlooking the town of Willowbrook. It had always been a place of mystery, a home where secrets were kept and great plans were made.At the door, Richard was greeted by Reed’s assistant, who looked at him with surprise. 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
Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Two
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
Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-One
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
