2024-04-18 01:19:24He thanked James for his help so far as they both went their separate ways.He checked his phone and he noticed he still had two hours left before the class got started.His hands got hold of something inside his pocket.He remembers it was the golden customized debit card he was given.He was eager to test it.
On his way,he noticed a nearby bank along the road.He entered the banking hall of the bank.He went straight to the teller counter.
The teller lady,a woman in heavy makeup and a professional suit,saw Richard come in and said lazily, “How can I help you?”
She sounded cold.From her look on Richard,she felt he was somebody that was not worth her attention.
Richard was wearing a faded shirt and a black rough trouser,looking like a pauper.The woman acted uninterested,thinking it was just an insignificant customer.
Nevertheless,Richard did not mind her bad service and attitude. “I would want to perform a withdrawal,” he said sternly.
“Withdrawal?Don't you see the ATM over there?” The teller lady sounded not too pleased.Just meet someone on the queue to assist you if you don't know how to use it.I'm busy.”
She was so free that she could take a nap there if she wanted.Her attitude pissed Richard off,so he called out, “I demand to see the manager.”
Richard raised his voice. “Is this how your bank does things?Don't you know that customer is always right?I can't believe it!”
Hearing the noise in the banking hall,the branch manager hurried out. “What's going on?”
Seeing the branch manager and thinking she had reinforcement,the teller lady pointed at Richard. “Mr Jones,this youngman is here to cause trouble”
Mr Jones was alarmed,looking at Richard disdainfully. “What are you doing here?”
Richard smiled. “I would like to perform a withdrawal.”
Mr Jones frowned. “There are ATMs for withdrawing cash.Why come to the counter?”The manager and the teller lady were just the same,they sounded unappeased.
He did not allow what the manager said to get to him. “What if I would like to withdraw four million dollars?”
Four million dollars? The teller lady stared at Richard and took a closer look at him. From his outfit one could see that he was poor and could not afford an amount. “A classless pauper like you wants to withdraw four million dollars?
“This must be a hilarious joke.Do you mean four hundred dollars?Four million dollars is way above you.”
Mr Jones also did not believe Richard could be able to withdraw $4 million because he looked like a loser.
However he didn't want to completely write him off.He cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Do you really want to withdraw four million dollars?”.The teenager might look like a loser but sometimes it's hard to understand the way the rich live.That was the reason why he asked again.
Richard sneered. “Why else will I be here If not for withdrawing money? Or,do you expect me to play games here?
“I will have to inform my superiors for such a large amount of money"Mr Jones said differently, “Why don't you stay in the lounge and wait for a while?”
Richard noded, “No problem”.
The teller lady sneered. “Mr Jones don't tell me that you really think he has $4 million to withdraw, do you?”
“Shut up and knock off” Mr Jones was not too happy with her.He could tell from his experience that Richard was not joking.Richard was really going to withdraw 4 million dollars.He wouldn't have come all the way here to asked to withdraw 4 million at one go if he doesn't want too.He was eager to get into the good book of a rich kid like Richard.
The teller lady shut up immediately when Mr Jones scolded her.But she still had a disdainful look on her face.She did not believe that Richard had so much money to withdraw.
But 30 minutes later,when she saw Richard carrying a sack of cash out of the VIP Lodge with Mr Jones following behind him respectfully, she was stunned her eyes were wide open.Did this loser really withdraw $4 million?
“Does he really have 4 million dollars,Mr Jones? The teller lady had not given up and asked the branch manager.
Do you want him to show it to you Mr Jones noted looking not too happy.Fortunately he was more observant and did not allow the way Richard looks to write him off.He could have lost such an important customer.
She knew the manager wouldn't be telling a lie so she stood surprised and opened her mouth.
“I apologize to you if my staff has said something that offends you Mr Richard” Mr Jones says it respectfully.
It will be clear to anyone that a person who could withdraw 4 million dollars in cash was a VIP customer.Mr Jones does not want to lose this VIP customer to other banks.
Richard tucked the sack of cash into the bag that Mr Jones had issued him and then left.

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
