The unexpected student billionaire Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Four
No one saw it coming.The quiet, unassuming Richard—who always looked like he belonged in the background—had just snapped. It was like watching a completely different person emerge from his skin. Calm had turned to chaos, hesitation to rage.This wasn’t the Richard who quietly tolerated people stepping on him.This was someone else. Someone dangerous.And Ethan? He just happened to be the poor bastard who lit the fuse.If it had been any other day, Richard might’ve held back. He might’ve swallowed his pride like he always did, taken the insult, walked it off.But not today.Today, Ethan had gone too far.He had crossed the one line Richard didn’t allow anyone to cross—he brought up Richard’s family.And for a man who’d grown up without parents, whose entire life had been a lonely climb through hardship and humiliation, that wasn’t just a low blow. That was a declaration of war.Originally, Richard had planned to settle things quietly. Call in Mr. James, let power handle power. But Cind

Just as Richard was about to step through the university gates, a familiar voice rang out from behind him—teasing, light, and sharp like a blade wrapped in silk.“Well, well… Didn’t expect your girlfriend to be that pretty, little man.”He froze. That voice could only belong to one person.Turning around, he saw her—Sandra. The same Sandra from last night. The same Sandra who had the internet wrapped around her finger with millions of followers and a face you couldn’t forget.She strolled toward him, casual and poised, eyes sparkling with amusement. Her tone, however, was laced with mockery.“With a girlfriend like that, why were you still fooling around? Seriously… Men really are pathetic. Good thing I don’t like them.”Richard sighed. “You here to make fun of me?”She raised a brow, smirking. “I’m not that bored. I was just passing by. But I have to ask… What the hell were you thinking? Spreading those kinds of photos? Really?”“I didn’t,” Richard snapped, exasperated. “Those photos
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six
Richard clutched the photo in his hand, knuckles white, and made his way toward the first print shop Sandra had indirectly led him to.He wasn’t just chasing the truth—he was chasing redemption.This wasn’t about pride. It wasn’t even about the humiliation. What haunted him most was the thought of losing Amelia’s trust. Their bond—fragile but real—meant more to him than he could admit out loud. And if this false accusation destroyed that… he wasn’t sure how to come back from it.The bell above the door chimed as he stepped into the small shop. Behind the counter sat an older man, hunched over a keyboard, eyes narrowed behind square-framed glasses.“Hello, sir,” Richard said, voice polite but strained.The man looked up from his computer. “Good afternoon, young man. What can I help you with?”“My name’s Richard,” he began, holding up the photo. “I was hoping you might recognize this. Maybe someone printed it here?”Mr. Stephen took the photo, adjusting his glasses. The image was clear—a

As Richard turned toward the voice calling his name, a flicker of tension left his shoulders when he recognized the familiar faces approaching.It was Charles. And right beside him, Oliver.“Richard!” Charles called again, waving as they jogged up. “Man, we’ve been looking everywhere for you. We’ve got news—big news.”Their excitement was obvious. They looked almost relieved to have found him. But Richard just stood there, stunned that they’d even come back for him at all.“You two?” he said, eyes narrowing. “Now you’re looking for me? After everything? After you both believed I actually slept with that girl in the photo?”His voice was sharp—he wasn’t hiding the hurt.Charles looked taken aback. Oliver stepped forward first. “You’re right. We did doubt you at first. But things have changed.”“It was a mess,” Charles added quickly. “We were wrong. We thought the worst, and we’re sorry.”Richard crossed his arms, still guarded. “So what changed your minds?”There was a pause—brief, but

Richard was curious to find out more about what Charles and Oliver I discovered from their findings. “Tell me what you are able to find out about this issue”Richard said curiously. “We overheard Jane and Clara's discussion. It was obvious that this setup was planned by Clara and Jane to reign your reputation in school. We also find out that there were not just the only one involved in this act”Charles uttered. When Richard had this it was more curious to know who was involved in setting him up and trying to reign his reputation aside Jane which was obvious and Clara. “Yes Mr George the owner of the print shop. He assisted them in making the photo look so real so that no one will argue about its authenticity. He made the photo of both you and Clara to be in an obscene situation making it difficult for you to claim innocence to this act”Oliver interrupted. “I knew that someone must have assisted them in doing a thing like that.”Richard exclaimed. He never imagined that Mr Geo

It was at this point that Richard went ahead of his friends. “Where are you heading to?”Charles asks curiously. Charles was willing to provide support to him if he needed support from them. “You don't have to worry about me anymore, I think I can handle the situation myself. I'm going to find out the reason why Clara and Jane did this to me and I will ensure that they receive punishment for the action,”Richard said with a strong voice. Charles and Oliver realize that Richard was resolved to handle the situation by himself so they had to let him go. They are willing to stand as a witness for Richard against Clara and Jane after hearing their conversation. The reason why Richard deemed it fit for Charles and Oliver to wait behind was because he was ready to use his power against Clara and Jane. He hasn't told Charles and Oliver yet about his newfound fame and they might just find out if they followed him. Richard knew where Clara was working. She was working in a business fil

“What's going on here?”Mr George asked curiously. He knew very well who Richard was and he was surprised to see a man like Richard an heir to the Harrington Empire in his company. At this point Clara was already shivering not because she was scared of Richard but because she was scared that she would get into trouble and possibly lose her job. “Not really important sir, I'm only trying to handle this kid that seems as if he lost his way to our company”Clara said with her cracking voice. Mr George walked closer and discovered that it was the known Mr Richard Morgan of the Morgan Empire. He quickly went closer to him and bowed slightly to him. “Mr Morgan, what an honor to have you here. Why are you here and what do you want me to do? Just say it and it will be done?” Mr George said respectfully. He was willing to do anything just to please Richard. When Clara saw this she was immediately surprised.She never expected that a poor kid like Richard would know a man like Richard.

Richard was satisfied with the fact that Clara would be coming with him but you also intend to settle things with Jane. Jane had not stopped to cause trouble for him and now it seems it was the right time for him to settle score with her. With Clara at his service he has more than enough evidence to clear his name and confront Jane. “Just tell what I need to do and I will be willing to do exactly so”Clara said as she saw Richard's troubled face. Richard looked at Clara and suddenly a new idea came to his mind. He had initially thought of going straight to Amelia to clear his name with her but him doing so would not mean solving the entire problem. Jane was the cause of all this and if he did not resolve things with Jane then there's a possibility that she might cause more troubles in future for Richard. “Jane, force you to do this to me right?”Richard gazed at Clara and asked sternly. Clara could see the seriousness from his tone and his facial expression. “Yes, yes she d

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

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. 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

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. Zara was at his side, carefully tending to his wounds, but Richard could see the fear in her eyes. Kai’s condition was worsening with every passing minute.The Guardians had been relentless. One by one, they had fallen at the hands of Kai, but the last Guardian—the leader—had almost ended his life. Now, with the battle seemingly over, the weight of the situation set in. Victor was gone, but their true enemy was still out there, somewhere in the mountains. The Xan Ling herb—the very thing that had brought them to this point—was still hidden within the cave, guarded by secrets they had yet to understand.
