On 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.

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-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
