2024-04-18 01:20:05On arriving at his hostel,he discovered that everywhere was quiet and no one was left at home.He was surprised that they left for the class on time but when he tried to check his wrist watch he discovered that he had 10 minutes to make it to the class.
Mrs Harper class is a class no one dares to go late for because once she arrives before you you'll be left to wait outside the hall until she's done with the class.
Richard was very well aware of it and he hurriedly left his hostel for the class to see if you can still meet up with the class.He left with his bag and the bag containing the huge sum of money.
5 minutes later you're right at the classroom but he was still late when recharge got to the classroom entrance he felt the whole class staring at him
Mrs Harper was already in the classroom and as usual,Richard will not be allowed into the hall.
“Excuse me!” Richard called out as you stood by the door.
Mrs Harper have been focused on her teachings that she forget to notice
Mrs Harper stopped her teaching and turned to look at Richard.
“Do you have any idea what time it is now? Are you here to learn or to waste away your time”
“Come here, why are you still wearing your waiter's uniform? Are you here to serve us drinks or to take our orders” Mrs Harper ridiculed Richard.
She was aware that Richard worked as a waiter in a restaurant close to the school.It was a restaurant familiar to the students and the lecturers in the school.So everyone was aware that Richard worked as a waiter in the restaurant.
All the students in the class burst out laughing at Richard.
The two who laughed the loudest were Dominic and Jane.They were currently sitting in the last row of the classroom and flirting with each other.The sight of them made Richard feel bitter.That was because when Richard and Jane were still together,she had never sat with him before.
All of his classmate obviously knew about Jane dumping him
Richard was familiar with the Mrs Harperridicule.She will often ridicule him she usually look down on poor students like Richard but try to please the student from healthy families
“Get your miserable self out of my class this instant” Mrs Harpersaid furiously.
Richard had to stay outside the class while Mrs Harpertaught the whole class.He felt very bittered about this as he had made an effort to meet up with the class.
After Mrs Harperwas done teaching she walked towards the door and turned attention to Richard and gave him a stern warning not to come late for her class again or else he would have to repeat her class the next semester.
Richard entered the class after Mrs Harper left.
“Richard, are you alright?” Richard's roommate,Charles, asked after meeting him.
“I'm fine,” Richard replied.
“Where have you been all this while? I have really been worried about you.I have looked everywhere for you but no trace of you could be found”
“It's a long story, Charles but I'm good now,” Richard replied.
“Why were you late?By the way,I heard that you and Jane are no longer together”.
“Oliver, don't bring up something like that,” Charles said with annoyance.
Charles and Oliver often helped Richard in school and Richard was always indebted to them.
Charles and Oliver assumed Richard was in a bad mood, so they did not disturb him further.
The attention of everyone in the class was drawn to a girl who was probably in her early 20s. She was pretty and had a nice figure. Her legs were fair and long. She had a pink short dress and a pair of office shoes which made her look very attractive and beautiful. She was Christabel Wood, the class representative.
Christabel was very kind and innocent. Unlike other girls in a class that looked down on Richard for being Poor.Christabel had never looked down on Richard instead she had looked for ways to help Richard many times.
She had announced that the lecturer that was supposed to take the next class was not around so the class has been canceled.
“We can now have our get-together as a class.Let's do lunch together? ''Christabel said enthusiastically.
The whole class had been anticipating another class get-together.They had really enjoyed the last one they had.
At that moment, Charles ran to Richard and place his hands over Richard shoulder and said “Richard come join us today it's been a while since you join us for a class get together”.
“Charles why inviting that pauper how could he have the money to attend the get together” a girl on a black skirt yelled out.
Richard could not help but lift his head to look at the girl.She was Natasha Bryan,Jane best friend and roommate.
Natasha looked down Richard and often bullied him.A huge part of the reason behind Jane dumping Richard and choosing to be with Dominic was due to Natasha's instigation.
“Exactly how can a pauper like Richard afford to go to a lunch party?”Jane other friend,Isabella John added with sarcasm.

“Natasha,Isabella, what are the two of you talking about?” Charles yelled furiously.“Was I wrong,will this penniless waiter have the money to join the lunch party?”“We have so many parties together as a class but have you ever seen him join one”Natasha responded while rolling her eyes.“I'll pay for Richard if it doesn't have the money.Is it really necessary for all of you to humiliate him like this?” said Oliver who step forward. He could not stand them anymore.“Hey Oliver,since you are so wealthy why don't you pay for me as well?”Dominic shouted with a poker face after he and heard what Oliver said.Oliver turned to glance at Dominic. A hint of uncertainty flashed across its eyes.Even though Oliver's family was doing quite well,his family's wealth was nothing compared to Dominic who was from the Prestigious Prescott family therefore he could only shut up.“I'll pay for Richard. We are all classmate.Was all of these necessary?”Christabel yelled with a frown.She could not stand th

Everyone started eating at once after all food was served.They did not care if Richard and Dominic could pay but they just enjoy themselves as long as you were not the ones who would pay for it.Jane was sitting next to Dominic.Her expression was awful as she knew that Dominic could not afford to pay for today's meal.Even if Richard could pay for it,he will probably have to spend all his savings.Was it worth spending all his savings just to save face?Thinking about it,Jane looked at Richard with even more disdain.She felt that Richard should not have competed with a rich kid like Dominic.Even if he won this time, it would not change the fact that he was a poor guy.One hours into the feast,everyone had their fill.They all looked at Richard and Dominic starting to worry that they would not have the money to settle the bill.

As soon as Richard stepped out of the private dining room, Charles, Oliver, and Christabel exchanged glances before hurrying after him. The restaurant’s dim, luxurious lighting cast soft shadows on their faces as they weaved through the tables, determined to catch up.“Hey, Richard! Wait up!” Charles called, quickening his pace. His voice carried through the upscale restaurant, causing a few patrons to glance their way.Richard slowed down but didn’t stop entirely. When he finally turned around, there was a faint, almost unreadable smile on his face. “What’s going on?” he asked casually.Charles, slightly out of breath from the short jog, didn’t waste any time. “Where did you get that kind of money?” His voice was laced with both curiosity and concern. “Is this because Jane dumped you? Be honest with us.”His brows furrowed as he studied Richard’s expression, trying to read between the lines. He had known Richard for years, and this sudden change didn’t sit right with him.Richard let

Earlier, Christabel had casually suggested that Richard use his newfound wealth to take better care of himself. Her words stuck with him. It wasn’t just about spending money—it was about transformation. For the longest time, Richard had worn the same worn-out clothes, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. His old outfits had become a reflection of his financial struggles, a constant reminder of the life he had endured before everything changed. Now, with money no longer being an issue, there was no reason to continue looking like the same struggling man. The first step had been upgrading his phone. He had just walked out of the Apple Store, holding a brand-new iPhone 14 Pro Max—a purchase that once would have been nothing more than a distant dream. But as he glanced down at himself, he realized that a high-end phone alone wasn’t enough to redefine him. He needed a wardrobe that matched his new reality. As he continued walking, his eyes landed on a towering b

The security guard stood frozen, his expression shifting from defiance to regret. Just moments ago, he had dismissed Richard as a nobody—someone unworthy of entering the prestigious Crystal Spring Mall. But now, he realized his mistake. “Sir… please, you may enter the mall now,” the security guard stammered, his voice laced with nervousness. Richard arched an eyebrow at the sudden change in attitude. What brought this about? He hadn’t even said anything yet. Then, it clicked—James. James must have contacted the mall’s management, and the impact had been immediate. The security guard swallowed hard. “Sir, is there anything I can do for you?” he asked, his voice almost pleading. It was clear he was desperate to get back into Richard’s good graces. He understood now—Richard wasn’t just anyone. For him to have the influence to reach the mall manager directly, he must be someone powerful. The security guard feared the consequences of offending such a person, especially when his job wa
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter fourteen
The manager walked briskly through the lavish interior of Crystal Spring Mall, his expression unreadable as he approached the crowd that had gathered around an ongoing commotion. He had already been briefed about what had happened—how a young man named Richard had been humiliated and denied entry into the mall. But as he finally laid eyes on Richard, he immediately recognized him. The new chairman of the Morgan Empire. A man far more powerful than anyone in this entire mall. Yet, no one else knew it. The manager instinctively knew that he couldn’t reveal Richard’s true identity here, not in front of everyone. Only the top executives in the Morgan Empire’s network of businesses were aware that Richard had recently taken over. Still, the sight before him deeply unsettled him. He had expected Richard to be welcomed with the highest form of respect, yet here he was—mocked, insulted, and even denied service in a mall that belonged to his own empire. This wasn’t just an issue—it was

Richard was escorted out of the mall by James and the heavily built men who had arrived with him. Their movements were smooth, calculated, and protective, making it clear they were trained professionals. As Richard walked beside them, his mind was still processing everything that had happened inside the Crystal Spring Mall. “I didn’t expect to see you here, James,” Richard said, genuinely surprised. He had assumed James would handle the situation over the phone, not that he would personally show up in full force. “I had to come the moment you told me you weren’t allowed into the mall,” James replied, his tone firm. Richard gave a small chuckle. “It wasn’t really a big deal. You shouldn’t have troubled yourself to come all the way here. But…” He smiled warmly. “I still appreciate it.” James glanced at Richard with a knowing look. “You may think it wasn’t a big deal, but disrespect toward you is not something we take lightly.” Richard nodded in understanding. James adjusted his s

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.
Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Seven
Victor, kneeling before Tian Jun, had just been killed, his life snuffed out by the unforgiving hand of the Guardians, their sense of justice brutal and absolute. Victor had made his choice, and now the consequences were laid bare.But as the blood soaked into the ground and the last echoes of battle filled the forest, Richard couldn’t help but notice something—a presence behind him. Kai was standing there, his eyes hard with resolve. The brutal force of the Guardians had pushed Richard’s mind toward a singular desire: to protect his friends and stop this madness. But Kai had other plans.The tension in Richard’s chest deepened as he heard Kai’s voice low and controlled, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. “I won’t let you go,” he said, his voice barely audible against the rustling of the leaves.“What?” Richard spun around to face him. “Kai, what are you talking about?”Kai stepped forward, blocking Richard’s path with a calm but determined expression. “This is my moment. I’v

The tension in the air was suffocating, thick with the weight of inevitable violence. As the Dawn Brotherhood and the Guardians stood locked in a fierce standoff, it became clear that this was more than just a fight for control over the Xan Ling herb—it was a fight for survival.Victor, his jaw clenched in frustration and rage, gave a subtle nod to his men. The time for words was over. His eyes gleamed with a mix of desperation and defiance. The Guardians—with their implacable, unwavering presence—had made it clear that they wouldn’t let anyone take the herb. But Victor wasn’t about to give up so easily.He signaled to his group of thugs, all armed and eager to prove themselves. The group, eager for action, began to advance toward the Guardians, weapons raised, eyes burning with intensity. Victor’s men were skilled in their own right, but they were not prepared for the sheer power of the Guardians.“Go after them!” Victor shouted, his voice filled with urgency. “Take down the Guardian

As the standoff between Richard, Zara, Kai, and Victor reached a tense standstill, the fog around them seemed to grow heavier, cloaking them in an eerie silence. The mountain air hung still, thick with the weight of the confrontation. Richard’s hand was still on his blade, his mind racing, trying to figure out how this all fit together. Victor, the Dawn Brotherhood, even the mysterious figure of Raiden—they were all competing for the Xan Ling herb, but they were still not the true players in this dangerous game.The words from Tian Jun echoed in Richard’s mind, "The herb chooses its heir". But Richard hadn’t expected to learn the truth in such an unsettling manner.Raiden, the imposing figure, had just stepped in to stop Victor, but now his large frame seemed out of place in the growing tension. There was something unsettling about his presence—a quiet, predatory kind of calm that made Richard uneasy. The look in Tian Jun’s eyes had shifted from one of wise contemplation to something

The path had become steeper, the forest thicker, as Richard, Zara, and Kai followed Tian Jun deeper into the mountains. The fog, which had clung to the trees and rocks earlier, now enveloped them completely. Their steps grew slower as the terrain became more treacherous, with uneven rocks and slippery moss underfoot. Richard, despite the fatigue from the journey, remained focused. He was certain they were getting closer. The Xan Ling herb was within their grasp, but something about Tian Jun's manner had changed.For the past several hours, Tian Jun had been moving with purpose, barely speaking except for the occasional piece of advice or cryptic comment. Richard had learned to take his words with caution, understanding that Tian Jun had a wisdom that was both deep and unsettling.But now, they had come to a stop. Tian Jun’s figure stood motionless at the edge of a narrow, rocky pass, his face calm, almost contemplative, as he stared into the dense fog ahead.Richard looked around, con

With the Dawn Brotherhood retreating into the mist, Richard, Zara, and Kai caught their breath, their bodies bruised but alive. The giant man stood silently, his massive form looming over them. He was older than Richard had first assumed, his face weathered and his body covered in scars that told stories of countless battles.“Thank you,” Richard said, his voice hoarse from the fight. “You came just in time.”The giant grunted, his gaze scanning the forest, still on alert. “You’re lucky I was nearby. The Dawn Brotherhood is a dangerous group. I wouldn’t trust them if I were you.”“Who are you?” Zara asked, her tone cautious but curious.The giant’s lips curled into a grim smile. “I’m Tian Jun.”Richard’s heart skipped a beat. This was the man they had been searching for—the man who knew the way to the Xan Ling herb.“You’re Tian Jun,” Richard said, his voice filled with awe and respect. “We’ve been looking for you.”Tian Jun nodded slowly. “I know. You’re not the first to come seeking

Zara, ever alert, noticed the subtle change first. “We’re not alone,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I’m picking up movement in the trees.”Kai, who had been scanning the surroundings since the beginning of the trek, immediately tensed, his posture shifting. “There’s more than one. They’re trying to get ahead of us.”Richard’s eyes narrowed. More than one? This wasn’t supposed to be an ordinary mission. Other people were seeking the Xan Ling herb, too.It wasn’t long before the sound of footsteps echoed through the mist. The group instinctively moved closer together, Zara and Kai ready to spring into action, while Richard’s hand instinctively rested on the hilt of his blade. They weren’t sure who was out there, but one thing was certain: they had competition.Suddenly, from the thick shadows of the forest, a group of masked figures emerged. They were dressed in dark robes, their faces obscured by hoods, making them appear like phantoms in the mist. They moved with the silen
Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty One
The journey had been long and arduous, but Richard, Zara, and Kai were close. They had crossed rough terrain, climbed steep hills, and navigated through dense forests. The further they ventured, the more isolated the world became. It was as if the earth itself was conspiring to keep the Xan Ling herb hidden from all but the most determined seekers.After several days of travel, they finally reached the base of the mountains, where Tian Jun’s village was rumored to lie hidden. The village was shrouded in mist, the tall peaks above creating a natural barrier between the outside world and this secretive place. It was as if the mountains themselves were guarding the secret of the Xan Ling herb.But as Richard and his companions approached the foot of the mountains, they began to sense a shift in the air. Something felt off. It wasn’t just the looming presence of the mountains or the thickening fog; it was the feeling of being watched.Zara, ever alert, noticed the subtle change first. “We

As the night wore on, Richard, Zara, and Kai had successfully followed Dorian Vargas without him suspecting. The man’s movements were sharp and deliberate, his confidence betraying a keen awareness of his surroundings, but despite his careful nature, Richard knew he had to stay on his tail. The only way to get the information they needed about the elusive Xan Ling herb was to follow the trail—no matter how winding it might be.For the better part of an hour, the trio shadowed Vargas through the crowded city streets, ducking into alleys and weaving through the maze of people without attracting attention. Zara, who was no stranger to covert operations, kept her distance, keeping a watchful eye on the path ahead while Kai moved with effortless stealth, ensuring that no one was too close. Richard was focused on Vargas, his gaze locked on the back of the man who had been the key to unraveling the mystery of the Xan Ling herb.Vargas eventually made his way out of the busy district, enterin
