Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Nine
Amelia stood by Richard’s side, torn between her desperate desire to save him and the fear of what might happen. She had seen the herb’s power firsthand, how it had healed Richard’s injuries so quickly, but she had also seen its toll on him—how it had made him weaker, more vulnerable. Would he even survive this?Richard’s breathing was shallow, his body tense. His lips parted as though he was trying to speak, but nothing came out. His eyelids fluttered, struggling to stay open.“Richard,” Amelia whispered, squeezing his hand. “Please, stay with me.”Reed had already prepared the extract, but the hesitation in his eyes was clear. It was not just about the herb anymore—it was about what it would cost Richard to drink it. The very thing that had kept him alive could also be the thing that changed him forever.Amelia looked at Reed, her voice filled with both desperation and determination. “Please, Reed... you have to help him. We have no other choice.”Richard’s eyes finally opened, his

Richard’s heart surged with a new sense of hope as the reinforcements pushed into the room. He recognized them—fighters from Reed’s network, the underground allies who had been working behind the scenes for months, preparing for this very moment. They rushed into the fray, weapons raised, their battle cries echoing off the walls.Sebastian’s face twisted with disbelief as he tried to rally his remaining men, but they were already retreating. Richard’s team had the upper hand now, the tide having decisively turned in their favor. As the battle raged on, Richard’s focus remained on Sebastian.“You’re not getting away this time,” Richard growled.Sebastian sneered. “You think you’ve won, don’t you, Richard? You and your little band of misfits. But you’re not even close to understanding what’s truly at stake. The knight consortium will come for him. You will see…”Before Sebastian could finish his threat, Richard closed the distance between them. His fists were like steel, his movements s
Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Seven
Richard’s every muscle burned with exhaustion as he squared off against Sebastian, the man’s cold smile never wavering. Sebastian had always been a thorn in Richard’s side—a dangerous adversary, one who had shown no mercy, even when their paths crossed in the past. But now, with Amelia’s life hanging in the balance, Richard had no room for hesitation. He had to win.Sebastian was a skilled fighter, his movements swift and precise. But Richard had trained for years, honed by the teachings of Reed, his master, and the life-or-death situations he’d survived. Despite the searing pain in his chest and the dizziness still lingering from the sedative, Richard moved with a clarity he hadn’t known in years.Sebastian lunged at him, a cruel grin stretching across his face as he aimed a vicious punch at Richard’s abdomen. Richard twisted just in time, sidestepping the blow and grabbing Sebastian’s arm, using the man’s momentum to throw him into the nearby stone wall. The impact shook the entire

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

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
