Chapter Four Hundred and Four
The students who had been silently watching the confrontation were now in a daze. The sheer power Richard had wielded—his ability to topple one of the most powerful families in the city with a single call—was nothing short of extraordinary. Whispers spread like wildfire throughout the school, some in awe of Richard, others fearful of the extent of his power. But one thing was clear: Richard was not someone to be underestimated.As Richard walked out of the room with his friends by his side, the tension in the air started to dissipate. Christabel, Evelyn, and the others exchanged looks of disbelief, still processing what they had just witnessed.“Richard, that was…” Christabel began, her voice filled with awe. “You... you really did it.”Evelyn, still reeling from the moment, turned to Richard, her voice trembling. “I—I don’t know how to thank you. What you did… it was incredible.”Richard turned to face her, his gaze softening. “You don’t need to thank me, Evelyn. You deserve better t
Chapter Four Hundred and Three
Adam’s arrogance had been shattered, but his pride still lingered like a stubborn flame. He stood there, seething with rage, glaring at Richard as if the situation were somehow a test. His hands clenched into fists, his jaw tight with frustration. Richard’s calm demeanor, however, only seemed to infuriate him more. He had been humiliated in front of Evelyn, his friends, and every student in the room, and yet he refused to acknowledge the power Richard had over him. He would not kneel before someone he deemed beneath him—someone who wasn’t even part of his world.“I’ve had enough of this,” Adam snapped, his voice dripping with venom. “I don’t have to listen to you. You’re just a kid playing pretend, acting like you can ruin me.”Richard’s gaze never wavered. His hand remained steady, his finger pressing the screen of his phone as he dialed a number.“I’m not playing, Adam. And you will listen,” Richard said coolly, his voice unwavering.Adam stared at him incredulously, almost as thoug

The atmosphere in the room shifted as Adam entered. His presence was immediate—unmistakable. The door swung open with a force that rattled the frame, and Adam strode in with the confidence of someone used to being admired. He was tall, well-dressed, his designer clothes draping over his muscular frame. His face, handsome yet sharp, wore an arrogant smile that seemed to reflect his belief in his own superiority.Richard could feel the energy in the room change the moment Adam walked in. Everyone in the room recognized him instantly—Adam wasn’t just any student. He was the son of one of the wealthiest, most influential families in the city. His father’s name was spoken in hushed tones, a man who had climbed the social ladder by manipulating anyone and everyone in his path. Adam carried that same arrogance with him, as if the world owed him something.Evelyn, standing beside Richard, shrunk back. Her body trembled as she stood in front of Adam, her arms wrapped protectively around hersel
Chapter Four Hundred and One
The school day began like any other, but for Richard, something felt off as soon as he stepped into the cafeteria. The usual buzz of voices, the clatter of trays, and the murmurs of laughter seemed muted, as if the air was heavier than usual. He noticed his friends sitting at the usual table, but his gaze immediately fell on Evelyn. Something was different. The laughter in the group didn’t reach her. She was sitting there, hunched over slightly, her eyes downcast as she poked at her food.As Richard walked over to join them, he couldn’t help but notice the bruise on Evelyn’s arm. It was faint but noticeable—a dark purple mark on her skin that stood out against her otherwise pale complexion. Richard froze for a moment, his heart skipping a beat. He knew something was wrong. Evelyn wasn’t the type to show weakness, to let something affect her to this degree. She was always the strong one, the one who made others laugh, who kept the mood light. But today, there was something off about he
Chapter Four Hundred
Richard followed Reed through the hallways of the training facility, the weight of Reed’s words hanging in the air. They passed by various rooms, filled with other members of the Prescott team working on their own assignments, preparing for the inevitable conflict that loomed on the horizon. But despite the calm surroundings, Richard couldn’t shake the feeling that they were all preparing for a storm—a storm that was already starting to gather on the horizon.When they reached Reed’s office, Reed motioned for Richard to sit across from his desk. Richard obeyed, though he could sense the gravity of the conversation that was about to unfold. Reed settled into his own chair, the flickering light from the overhead lamps casting shadows across his face.“The Knight Consortium is not just a group of mercenaries or rogue leaders,” Reed began, his tone low and measured. “They are an organization built on deception. They hide in plain sight, their influence spreading like a shadow across the w
Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Richard, James had his own plan in motion. The head of security was no fool. He had known Richard’s impulsiveness for years, and while James respected Richard’s strength and leadership, he couldn’t help but worry about his decision to bring Thomas into the fold without first fully vetting him.James didn’t trust Thomas, not yet. There was something about the boy’s behavior that felt off to him. He had seen the way Thomas acted—how quickly he’d latched onto Richard, how easily he’d slipped into the world of the Prescott Empire. It was too smooth. Too perfect.James needed to be sure. And for that, he’d have to keep an eye on Thomas—unseen, unnoticed.That night, James quietly dispatched one of his most trusted operatives to tail Thomas. He wasn’t going to let Richard’s trust in the boy cloud his judgment. He needed to know where Thomas was going, who he was talking to, and if there was any hint of betrayal in his actions.The operative was skilled, trained in
