2023-11-14 18:14:51"Young Master, I'm sorry, but I think I'll have to leave." Mia frowned as she looked at her watch.
"Alright," Henry nodded.
"I'll give you a call once I'm done with my work," Mia continued.
"There'll be no need, I'll give you a call once I need your help." Henry smiled as he shook his head.
"Farewell Young Master." Mia smiled as she entered the car which was waiting for her.
Henry nodded with a sigh as he looked at the car drive into the distance. Everything looked like a dream to him, in just a day, he went from a useless loser to the son of the richest man in the country.
Well, he wasn't going to think about it too much and just let nature take its cause. Besides, it was time to shake the business industry. He has a great talent, but then he had always been suppressed by Patrick.
Now that he was given another chance, he was going to make sure to cause a huge ripple in the business industry.
A smile appeared on Henry's lips as he thought about it. Well then that was it, he had other things to do.
Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind, Henry flaged down a taxi and headed to the nearest mall. He had to change the clothes he was wearing as they were all worn out.
---
Thirty minutes later, Henry alighted from the taxi and paid the driver before heading into the mall. Looking at the rows of the luxurious clothes in his front Henry shook his head.
Even though he now had enough money, he wasn't interested in buying such expensive clothes, he still preferred to dress normally.
Sighing, he turned around and prepared to go choose some other cheap clothes.
"And who do we have here?" A mocking voice came just as Henry was about to leave.
Henry frowned as he turned around to look at the owner of the voice who had just spoken.
"What do you want, Janet?" Henry frowned as he looked at the figure in front of him.
"Well, nothing, I'm just shocked to see you here." Janet laughed as she looked at Henry, not hiding the disgust in her eyes.
"Are you also here to buy some clothes?" Janet laughed as she looked at Henry.
"Well, what I came to do at the mall is none of your business." Henry sneered as he couldn't be bothered with her.
"Well, don't get annoyed so quickly, I just saw you staring at those clothes." Janet laughed.
"And how's that your business?" Henry frowned.
"Well, it's not my business, I'm just curious as to how you would afford those clothes l." Janet laughed.
"Well, it's none of your business," Henry sneered as he was feeling too lazy to argue with her.
"Well then, don't get angry so easily, I'm just wondering how you'll afford them." Janet smiled.
Henry frowned as he decided to ignore Janet, knowing quite well she would continue to get on his nerves if he continued to listen to her.
Janet was one of his college mates who looked down on him since College and had been looking for ways to make sure she embarrassed him. He knew she was going to stop at nothing to embarrass him.
"Well, then, how about you get that cloth, I'm sure it'll look good on you." Janet smiled, ignoring the fact that Henry had refused to answer her.
Henry frowned as looked at the clothes Janet was pointing at. Even though it was just a pair of trousers, the price tag on it was 1000$ dollars which made him frown.
Even his salary was just $2000. Besides, he knew quite well that Janet knew he wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Hey come over here." Janet suddenly called out to one of the sales girls nearby even before Henry could say anything.
"Pack up that trouser," She continued.
"Ma'am, is it from you, I'm afraid...."
"Don't worry, it's not for me, but this gentleman beside me." Janet smiled as she pointed at Henry.
"Huh?" Henry froze hearing what Janet said, when the hell did he say he was going to buy the trousers?
The sales girls frowned as she looked at Henry with disgust.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Janet frowned seeing the look on the sales girl's face.
"But...."
"How dare you look down on him, do you think he won't be able to afford those clothes just because of the way he's dressed." Janet fumed, interrupting the sales girl.
"I'm sorry ma'am." The sales girl apologized as she hurriedly went ahead to pick the cloth that Janet pointed at.
"Pick that, too," Janet commanded, pointing at another cloth.
"And that!"
"And that!" Janet commanded, pointing at some other clothes.
Soon, she took over the role of shopping for Henry as she kept pointing at all the clothes she saw. Besides, all the clothes she pointed at were very expensive.
Henry frowned as he watched the scene quietly. What the hell did Janet think she was doing? She didn't even ask for his opinion before helping him to shop.
"Henry, how do you like the clothes I picked for you?" Janet smiled as she looked at Henry.
"Did I ask you to pick them from me?" Henry asked with a frown.
"Well, then, I took it over myself to shop for you. You're such a rich dude, yet you keep dressing this way, isn't it pitiful?" Janet sighed and Henry frowned as he stared at Janet, he could feel the hint of sarcasm in her voice and was kind of annoyed.
"Ma'am here's the bill, everything you bought is $50,000." The sales girl smiled as she approached Janet.
"Give it to him, he'll pay." Janet smiled.
"But...."
"Didn't I just ask you not to look down on him? Do you know how rich he is?" Janet fumed as she interrupted the sales girl.
"His net worth is not something ordinary people like you can think about." She continued as she glared at the sales girl.
"I'm sorry ma'am." The sales girl apologized seeing that Janet was angry.
"It's not your fault, you wouldn't be like this if you knew that he could buy out this mall." Janet sneered.
"Sir, this is the bill, are you going to pay with cash or with a card?" The salesgirl smiled as she looked at Henry, the disdain in her eyes was evident.
She knew what Janet was trying to do, she was sure that Henry didn't have the money to pay for all that Janet had chosen for him, and yet he couldn't say anything.
Well, it was either he was a fool or his brain was malfunctioning, or else, he would have done something.
"I'm not interested in buying?" Henry smiled as he shook his head.
"Huh?" The sales girl froze upon hearing Henry's words.
"Instead, I'd like to buy out this mall instead." Henry's words floated in the sales girl's ears and she couldn't help but think that she heard wrongly.
Even Janet at the side was taken aback, but then a sinister smile appeared on her lips as she stared at Henry. It seemed like he didn't know his limits. She was going to make sure he suffered for bragging.
"Sir, I'm afraid that is more than my power." The sales girl muttered slowly as she looked at Henry, the disdain in her had increased.
"Well then, if that's above your power, then you get the manager here." Janet frowned as she stared at the sales girl.
"But...."
"Shut the hell up and go ahead to call the manager," Janet yelled.
"Don't you think it's inappropriate to yell at the poor girl?" Henry smiled as he looked at Janet. Even though he knew what Janet was trying to do, he decided to play along with her.
"No, she's not supposed to be let off easily, how dare she disrespect you?" Janet frowned.
"Well then, thanks for the concern, but then it won't be necessary," Henry chuckled.
"I'll be delighted to see you buy out this mall." Janet laughed as she looked at Henry.
"Well then, I'd suggest you shouldn't faint or be too shocked when I buy it out later." Henry smiled as looked at Janet
"Well, I'd suggest you buy it first," Janet sneered.
"And you why the hell are you standing here, go and fucking get the manager over, someone wants to buy out the mall." Janet sneered as she looked at the mall.
"Did I hear someone call my name?"

The shirt chubby man who had just walked into the scene froze upon hearing Janet's statement."Well, I'd like to see the one who wants to buy out the mall." The man chuckled."Here he is by my side," Janet smiled as she pointed at Henry who had his hands in his pockets."Well..." The man muttered as he stared at Henry."Meet our rich young master, Henry..""Henry, meet the Manager of the Crystal Mall," Janet smiled as she Introduced Henry to the manager."Well, young man, are you intent on buying out the mall?"

It was as if he wa

Henry sighed as he walked out of the mall. It had been quite a while since he had entered. Since there was nothing else to do, he could as well go check the company out. It was finally time to start.Thinking like this, Henry walked down the road, flagged down a taxi, and hopped in.---An hour later, the taxi pulled up in front of Nexus Architects. Even though Mia didn't say what company was given to him, Judging from what she said, he could tell that she was here at the company."Where do you think you are going?" A hoarse voice came just as Henry was about to enter the company.Henry frowned as he looked at the guards who had just stopped him. He could remember that they were the same ones who had thrown him out of the hall today."Do you want us to break your legs?" One of the guards sneered as he looked at Henry with hostility."Didn't you hear what the boss said earlier, that you shouldn't come near the company?" Another of the guards frowned as he looked at Henry.Henry frowned

The executive watched Henry with repulsion as he tried to do what he knew best how to do. "Is this going to take forever? If you don't know what to do, just drop the damn remote and let the specialists do their work." One of the executives said loudly with a bored glance and the rest just laughed. "I think he is lost, by merely looking at him, you'll know that he's not good at anything, he just wants to do guessing work with us, I think it's a pure time waste to have him in front of us, he's not fit to be among us, just look at him." Another said and they all cracked up.Henry didn't budge because he wasn't bothered by their silly rants, he was more focused on what he was doing, scrolling and reading some content on the huge screen. He needed to place those low-minded thinking executives in their lane and he shall certainly do that.The executives' rants began to bother Mia, she couldn't just sit there and watch those fools disobey her young master.

"Young Master, please forgive their rudeness," Mia hurriedly stood up as she bowed to Henry immediately all the executives walked out.."You know you shouldn't be apologizing on their behalf right?" Henry's mouth curled up into a smile as he looked at Mia."Yes, I know the young master, but I still feel the need to ask for your apology," Mia said hurriedly."Alright, you should know that I'm not annoyed. They are all nothing but clowns, so why would I get annoyed with the performance of a clown." Henry's mouth curled up into a smirk as he said slowly.Mia's mouth twitched violently hearing what Henry said. Seems like the executives had crossed the line."Alright, you know you shouldn't be bowing to me, right?" Henry raised his brows as he looked at Mia."If I'm not wrong, you should be older than me by some years, and if you are not older then we should be around the same age right?""Young Master, the master directed me to serve you probably, I cannot possibly disrespect you." Mia sh

Henry's face went dark as he turned around slowly to look at the figure who had just talked. The voice sounded rather familiar, yet it sounded distant which made him rather confused."Ohh, it's you." Henry's mouth curled up into a smile seeing the figure."If this isn't, Henry Humphrey, the very best architect back then at college." The figure said in a sarcastic tone as he looked at Henry not hiding the disgust in his eyes."Well, Maximus, I'm quite honored with the title you just bestowed upon me. I, Henry Humphrey, will make sure to uphold it and never let you down." Henry chuckled as he walked towards Maximus with a hand in his pocket.Maximus was Henry's college course mate back at college and the latter had always been competing with Henry to beat him in all aspects. But he was always held back by Henry who seemed to know everything.The only edge he had was that he was from a rich family, even at that, he never seemed to be able to beat Henry who came from a poor background, w
Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon What The Hell?!
Maximus' face darkened seeing Henry's action, but still, he maintained his confidence as he looked at Henry."What's there? It's the best you've seen in your entire life." Maximus sneered."The best I've seen in my entire life?" Henry mused as he looked at Maximus with a cheeky grin."I'd guess you are speaking for yourself as that's the best you can ever do.""Mia, get me a pencil," Henry ordered.Mia nodded and immediately rushed back to the first floor to get a pencil. "What the hell do you think you are trying to do?" Maximus frowned as he looked at Henry, a bad premonition arose in his heart."You'll see that soon." Henry smiled as he looked at the design in front of him.The design had many flaws and it would cause a disaster if one was to buy it and work according to the way it was laid out.Back then Maximus had always been like this but he had always been unwilling to accept it which has led to him competing with Henry who would always beat him."Young Master, here's the pen
Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon Are You Sure?
The old man frowned seeing the changes on Henry's face as he wondered what was wrong. The latter looked angry as though something valuable was stolen from him."Would you mind letting me see all the other designs?" Henry suppressed his anger and asked politely."Sure," The old man nodded with a smile and immediately waved his hands.The sales girls in the room immediately went ahead to pick all the designs and brought them to Henry.All the ten designs in the room were placed in front of Henry, even the ones that some customers were about to buy.Henry frowned as he slowly calmed himself and opened one of the designs. Soon, his experience changed. Yeah, this was his design, there were no doubts.Frowning, he dropped it and picked up another one, at the same time it was still his designs. What the hell was happening?He just couldn't understand what his designs were doing here. These were the designs Patrick, his boss, had forcefully taken away from him after he had shown the latter.B

"Huh?"Maximus froze hearing what Henry said as he didn't expect the latter to attack him from that angle."Yes..yes.. it's my design..." Maximus stuttered rather flustered."Why the hell are you asking me if these designs are mine?" Maximus suddenly flew into a rage after answering Henry's questions."Are you trying to say I'm not the one who designed it?""Exactly." Henry nodded with a shrew smile.The old man's expression and Mia's faces changed upon hearing what Henry said. What the hell was happening?"What the hell do you think you're saying?" Maximus flew into a rage once again hearing Henry's words."If I wasn't the one who designed it, then who did it? You?""Exactly, I was the one who designed it." Henry nodded with a smile on his face."Henry, you'd better watch what you're saying," Maximus said angrily."Watch what I'm saying?" Henry's mouth curled up into a snicker as he looked at Maximus in amusement."We both know that you can't design something like this. It's out of y

"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
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
