"What is it that you need my help with?" Ethan asked, looking at Henry with a smile on his face."What I need is not too hard, I'll just need to use your reputation and resources," Henry replied with a smile."Are you sure you wouldn't be needing anything else?" Ethan asked, still feeling worried."Nope, you shouldn't get all tensed up on my case, old man. I'm perfectly fine," Henry laughed.He knew that Ethan was genuinely worried about him, and he couldn't help but appreciate him. But still, there was no need to be so tense.He was quite sure that it was Victor who had staged the attack. As for the other families, they were just being used.Though he was the first player who had been playing the families all along, he didn't play them in a way that was going to affect them. It was all when the second player, his cousin, came into light that everything took a turn for the worse.That was not nice in any way. He knew the second player was going to dump them once the pawns became usele
"Mia, you should take care of yourself first. I'm fine." Henry sighed as he walked into his office.They had already gotten back to the company, and he had already had his hands treated. At the moment, all he needed was some time alone."You should go home now and get some rest." Henry continued as he turned to look at Mia who had not left despite asking her to leave."But...""You don't have to worry about me, Mia. I'll be fine. Besides, it's me they want, not you so you don't have to be afraid of anything." Henry interrupted Mia as he said."You should just head back home and not come until you're fine." Henry continued.Mia nodded and turned around walking out of the company in a daze. She knew that the Young Master was serious, so she had no other choice but to listen to his command if she wanted peace.The incident had a huge impact on her, she wanted to protect the young master at all costs, yet, she was the first to Chicken out in a real situation.Henry on the other hand sighe
"Mia!"Henry took in a deep breath and called Mia's name."Yes, young master," Mia replied as she turned to look at Henry while shivering slightly."Listen to what I'll say, you must carry them out in order, one mistake, and we'll both die."Henry said."Yes, young master." Mia nodded as she shivered.Though Henry didn't mean to scare her, he had no other choice but to tell her the consequences of making a mistake, it was grave and they would both go to the other world if they weren't careful."Unbuckle your seatbelt and then open the door slightly and hold the door. The moment I voice out my command, you'll open the door and jump out." Henry ordered, looking at the almost empty road, "But....""Just do as I said." Henry interrupted Mia and commanded."Yes, young master." Mia nodded and immediately unbuckled the seat belt with shivering hands, then she proceeded to open the car slightly and then held the door."So...so what next..." Mia asked as she shivered."Wait for my command," He
"Young Master, are we going with the driver?" Mia asked as they came out of the company."Nope, I'll be driving myself," Henry shook his head as he replied."Alright, I'll talk to him." Mia nodded and walked ahead of Henry going to meet the driver."Young master, here's the key to the car." Mia came back after a while giving Henry a key."So where are we headed to?" Mia asked feeling rather curious."Well then you should wait till we get there, you'll see it." Henry smiled as he walked towards the car parked outside the company.Getting in alongside Mia, he stepped on the accelerator and immediately the car shot forward at an incredible speed.At that moment, Henry's mind was occupied with a lot of things as he thought about what to do. The attack had started, there was no need to wait anymore as he was sure that the four families would make their moves anytime soon."Young Master, you looked worried, what's wrong?" Mia frowned as she looked at Henry's worried expression."It's just mi
"Or don't you all want to leave again?" Henry raised his brows as he looked at the old men, a quite unpleasant expression."You know I don't have space for old men like you in my company. You should go to the home of the elderly if you want a place where you'll be welcomed. As for my company, you are not welcome at all, hurry up and leave." Henry urged, pointing at the door."How dare you talk to us that way, you insolent brat!" The old man of the Brooks flew into a rage as he glared at Henry."I didn't talk to you rudely, I was only asking you to leave because I don't want visitors. Don't forget you're all on my turf." Henry shrugged."You...." The old men gritted their teeth as they pointed at Henry."You should hurry up and leave, then you go sort out the mess you created. Also, I'd like to advise you not to let anger blind you and do what you're not supposed to do.""Quick reminder, don't do whatever Victor would ask you to do." Henry smiled as he said."And who the hell do you th
Everyone froze hearing all that Henry said. What the heck was this? How the fuck did the latter develop such a bad mouth?Did he know that they were coming here and had already prepared a speech to annoy them even more so that they wouldn't be able to say what they came to say?Yes, that had to be the case. There was no way that wasn't the case. They were very sure of it. At the moment, they had to calm down so they would be able to get the words out of his mouth.The old man of the Brooks frowned as he looked at Henry. Just like the last time, the latter had a bad mouth, but then he wasn't in the mood for chats, all he wanted was for Henry to say all that he had done."Now that everyone is calm, we can sit down." Henry's calm voice came, breaking the silence."Mia, get them a glass of chilled water, they will need it later on!" Henry continued."Don't worry, we won't need it, besides, we don't intend to stay long!" The head of the Roberts family said even before Mia could move."Are
"Young Master, what are we going to do next?" Mia sighed as she looked at Henry waiting for his command."We are not going to do anything for now, let's watch and see what tricks Victor would pull." Henry shook his head and replied in a rather relaxed manner.Mia nodded as she agreed with the Young Master. Since the other party didn't do anything at the moment, there was no need for them to panic.Besides, they had known the true purpose of the letter's arrival, so there was no need for them to fear anything. They were just going to watch."Do you have any orders for me?" Mia asked, breaking the silence at its peak."No, I just feel quite tired and I want to sleep for quite a while." Henry yawned as he stretched his body."Alright then Young Master, I'll go get some things done. Have a nice rest." Mia nodded and walked out of the office.Henry sighed as his mind began to process a lot of things as he looked around. According to his calculation, with the arrival of Victor, a lot of thin
"Young Master, the master has called back," Mia said hurriedly to Henry who was sitting on the chair inside the office."Alright then." Henry nodded and stood up from the office chair going to sit on the sofa."Connect the call to the TV and make it a video call." Henry continued as he looked at the screen expectantly.Soon, the call was connected and in the next second, a figure appeared in front of the screen. Seeing the figure, Henry froze as he couldn't help but stare at the figure for a very long time.The figure looked just exactly like him, but a little bit older. It was as though he was the younger version of the figure on the screen."Son," Ethan called out slowly, seeing Henry.There were also tears in his eyes seeing Henry, it had been over twenty years since he last saw the latter. His son was now all grown up and even looked just like him."Father." Henry came back to his senses and called.There was a hint of coldness in his voice, he couldn't help it, after all, he wasn
Mia dialed the number with a sense of urgency, hoping to connect with Henry's father directly. After a few rings, a female voice answered, "Humphrey's residence, how may I assist you?""Good evening, ma'am. It's Mia, Henry's assistant. I need to speak with Mr. Humphrey urgently," Mia stated, her voice steady, eyes fixed on Henry. The phone was on a loudspeaker so he could hear every single thing. "I'm sorry, Mia, but Mr. Humphrey is currently in a crucial meeting and as his secretary, I can't afford to disturb him. I can relay a message or schedule a callback once he's available," the secretary responded professionally."This is a matter of utmost importance. Henry needs to speak with him directly. Please, let him know it's urgent," Mia emphasized, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.The secretary sighed on the other end, sensing the urgency in Mia's plea. "I'll try my best to get the message to Mr. Humphrey as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding."Mia hung up, f
