"Brother!" Tiger called hurriedly as he ran after Max who was standing in front of the mall with a frown on his face.

"What is it that you want?" Henry turned around slowly and asked.

"Well..." Tiger shuttered not knowing what to say.

Faced with Henry's calm expression, he didn't know how to act. The latter was just like the calm sea right before the storm and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see through him.

As a result, he had a kind of fear towards him and didn't want to offend the latter.

"Tell me, what is it that you need?" Henry's voice came, bringing Tiger out of his thoughts.

"I..." Tiger shuttered not knowing what to say.

He couldn't possibly tell the latter that he wanted to follow him around and be his henchman. Even if he did say so, there was no possibility that he was going to be accepted.

"Tiger, don't worry, just tell me what you need." Henry lour slightly as he said slowly.

"Brother, I'm impressed with your skills, I want to follow you from now on." Tiger dire

    "And who are you?" Henry turned around slowly to look at the man who had just interrupted him."Humph!" The other party, an old man, with white hair all over his head snorted coldly and turned to look at Ethan."Mr. Brown, I'm afraid the person you brought this time is rather incompetent. How dare he say he would be able to design a building that'll not collapse on this land when he hasn't even studied the land for ten minutes.""And how's that your business?" Henry squinted his brows staring at the old man."How is it none of my business? How dare you say that you're going to design a building on this swampy and sloppy land when you haven't even studied the land." The old man sneered."You just took a look at the land, and yet you decided that you'll be able to draw it. Who the hell do you think you are?"Ethan's face changed greatly upon hearing what the man said. If it was not because he was convinced of Henry's skills, he wouldn't have invited the latter over.Besides, he had comp

    Henry smiled as he picked up the pencil and started the whistle. Instead of him starting to draw, he stretched lazily on the chair and looked at the old man in the distance when was drawing.He wasn't in a rush to begin, this kind of thing was a piece of cake to him and he would be done in no time once started, besides, the man Didn't pose any kind of challenge to him so he didn't bother looking at the latter.Everyone was surprised to see Henry's nonchalant attitude. Wasn't he supposed to start sketching? Besides it requires a lot of process and when did he think he was going to be done if he didn't start quickly?"Mr. Henry, are you sure about this?" Ethan walked up to Henry and whispered to him when he couldn't take it anymore."Don't worry Mr. Brown, all would be fine." Henry shook his head and said lightly.Ethan nodded and didn't say anything, though he didn't know what Henry was planning, he had complete trust in the latter even though he was quite worried at the moment.Henry

    "Huh?"Everyone froze hearing what Ray said, what the hell was happening?Was he and the arrogant young man in cahoots before? That seemed to be the case, there was no way the young man was the winner, he had only sketched for only about ten minutes."How is that possible?" James frowned as he walked over to Henry's table."Are you doubting my ability?" Ray frowned as he spoke unpleasantly."It's just that...um..um..." James stuttered not knowing what to say."It's just that what?" Ray sneered."This young man obviously has more skills than you. Take a look at his sketch, it's more complete than yours and even more detailed.""It's a lie, there's no way he could possibly do that in a short ten minutes," James yelled as he grabbed the paper on the table.But soon, he realized immediately that his eyes came in contact with the design on the paper. This was just too otherworldly.It was as though he was looking at the finished building, besides, it was even more precise and beautiful than

    "Huh?" Roberts froze hearing what Henry said as he couldn't believe his ears.He was about to build a company here, and with his connection and everything, the company was going to rise rather easily. But then the problem was that he wasn't the only one who had shares in the company.Though he was the major shareholder with 30% of the shares, he still just couldn't give Henry a share just like that which was why he wanted to buy it from him."But sir, I can't possibly just remove 30% percent of the shares." Roberts sighed as he felt he was in a dilemma."None of my business, I want 30% of the shares or nothing." Henry shook his head as he said rather firmly."But...""30% of the shares, or I go with my sketch, you can easily contact other architects to draw it for you." Henry shrugged as he took the A4 paper on the table and folded it into his pocket.Robert facepalmed himself as he turned to Ethan for help, but the latter was not willing to help him. If only he had known, he would ha

    Henry sighed as he walked along the empty street. It was already nighttime and he was heading back home. After leaving Ethan and Tiger, he went back to the company where he looked through the other company problems and gave solutions to Mia.The two had been so engrossed in what they were doing that they didn't know it was already nighttime. Henry refused Mia's request of taking him home and thus was walking down the street.He was already used to this, in the past years, he would walk from the company to home. Walking now, it didn't feel strange and felt rather good. It was a good thing to exercise one's body."Help! Help!"A yell suddenly came just as Henry was walking, making him frown and turn to the source of the voice. Not far from him, three blurry men were dragging a woman who tried to resist their grips.But they were far stronger than her, so there was nothing she could do about it, as a result, she could only shout.But the actions of the men were rather swift and they imme

    Bang! Bang!A series of muffled sounds came and the three men flew out like broken strings crashing into the table in front of the young Matt.The young Matt froze in shock seeing this as he couldn't believe his eyes. How the hell was Henry able to beat his men? They were rather well trained and had good skills, yet they were not able to last a minute in front of this young Matt who looked so thin and malnourished."So, where were we?" Henry grinned as he moved towards Matt slowly with a smile on his face."Don't move any closer," Matt yelled as he looked at Henry, his eyes filled with fear.The two ladies by his side had already scrambled away in fear since they saw Henry effortlessly beat those three huge men. They knew there was going to be a huge conflict later on and they couldn't be caught in it.They would only be implicating themselves if they got caught up in the fight, as a result, they disappeared even before anyone noticed."And why shouldn't I come any closer? I thought y

  • Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon   Who Said I Didn't Meet Up?

    "Young Master, here you are." Mia smiled as she hurriedly greeted Henry who walked into the office holding two designs with a smile on his face.It had already been two weeks since the bet Henry made with the executive and today was the day he was going to have to fulfill it. As a result, Mia was rather nervous.Though over the past two weeks that she had been with the Young master, she had been convinced by his ability and was sure that he would be able to do it as he had corrected many of the unfinished designs in the company and they had sold it out earning the company a large amount of money which had nearly solved the crisis they were in.But then at the same time, he was merely completing a design, it was not as hard as starting a new one from scratch, besides she didn't hear him talk about it even for once, and as a result, she was quite nervous.Those executives were too arrogant and if Henry was not able to meet up, she was afraid that they were going to try something unruly.

    "Huh?"The executives and even Mia froze hearing what Henry said as they couldn't believe their ears."Hey, don't try to play tricks on us." Mr. Shah said angrily as he banged the table while standing up and pointing at Henry."Old man, I'd advise you to try to reduce your hot-bloodedness, it could lead to your death one day you know." Henry's lips curled up into a smile as he said slowly."You...." Mr. Shah gritted his teeth as he pointed at Henry, the veins on his head were protruding.Mia on the other hand was shocked at Henry's statement. She couldn't believe that the Young Master had done the designs. When did he have time to do it? Over the past two weeks, they had both worked overtime and she was sure that by the time he would get home, he would have been exhausted.It was one of the reasons she was willing to defend him as she felt rather guilty since he had helped her all week instead of him to focus on the design.Could it be that the Young Master wouldn't sleep when he got

    "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.

    My Help

    "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

    Are You Sure?

    "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

    Planned Accident

    "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

    Two Face

    "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

    What Do You Think

    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

    The Visit

    "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

    The Call

    "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

    Punishments.

    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
