2024-10-29 19:42:56"Well, I don't know how well the mall is doing, but here's a potential buyer." Janet laughed as she pointed at Henry.
"Huh?" 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?" The short chubby man frowned as he looked at Henry.
Even though there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, he didn't dare look down on the latter as the latter had a kind of strange aura that made him stand out.
Even though he was dressed poorly and was looked down upon by all the people present, the calmness in his eyes was Otherworldly. It was as if he wasn't affected by all that was happening.
"Yeah, I'd like to buy out the mall, how much is it worth?" Henry smiled.
"Well..." The man stuttered as he didn't know what to say.
"Sir, I don't think this man would be able to buy the mall, he hasn't even paid for these sets of clothes he bought." The sales girl by the man's side whispered into the man's ears.
The man frowned as he looked at Henry, even though he was quite intimidated by the aura Henry was emitting, he wanted to lash out at Henry but still managed to keep his cool.
"Well, aren't you going to tell me how much this mall is Worth?" Henry frowned as he looked at the man.
"Well, the Mall is worth about a million." The man frowned as he looked at Henry.
"Well then prepare the legal papers, I will buy it out now." Henry smiled.
"Henry, are you fucking stupid, or didn't you hear what the Manager just said?" Janet frowned as she looked at Henry.
"And why's that?" Henry smirked as he looked at Janet.
"You're not able to afford a meal three times a fucking day and yet want to buy out the mall." Janet sneered.
"And how's that your business?" Henry frowned.
"Enough!" Janet yelled.
"You're a fucking fool, do you know what offense you've made?"
"Tell me what they are?" Henry smiled, feeling rather amused.
"Well, you fucking tried to steal clothes worth fifty thousand dollars, and yet you claim that you want to buy out this mall?"
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Janet sneered.
"Well, how's that your problem?" Henry frowned.
"Guard!" The manager yelled, calling on the security guards.
Immediately, three heavily built men came into the scene as they stared at Henry, their eyes full of hostility.
"Well, then I'd suppose you want to do me a favor." Henry chuckled.
"Since I'm a potential buyer, or would say, I now own the mall, throw this lady out." He continued.
"Huh?" Janet froze as she couldn't believe her ears.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Janet frowned.
"A penniless man like you wants to make the guards throw me out, I'd suggest you make them throw you out instead."
"Well then, would you be willing to believe I could buy out the mall if I pay for these clothes." Henry smiled.
"Well then young man, you'll have to pay for the clothes you just bought." The manager smiled as he looked at Henry.
Even though his eyes were full of disgust, he did that dare act rashly, the calm way in which Henry was acting made him rather suspicious and unwilling to take any action.
"Well then take this." Henry smiled as he pulled out a card to the sales huh.
"Huh?" The manager suddenly froze seeing the black card in Henry's hand.
"Sir, can I see your card?" The man frowned as he asked rather politely, his attitude undergoing a 360° change while his voice trembled.
"What's with the card?" Henry frowned as he looked at the card in his hand.
It was then he realized that he was holding the black card that Mia had given him before she left. She said that the card contained the money he was to use in building his empire and that if he wanted more, he could always ask.
"Well then sure." Henry nodded as he gave the card to the man.
The man trembled as he collected the card from Henry and examined it closely. With each second, the shock on his face deepened and he couldn't help but look at Henry in shock.
"Sir, is this your card?" The man frowned as he looked at Henry.
He had subconsciously changed the way he addressed him.
"Well, it's mine. Is anything wrong with it?" Henry frowned.
Immediately, the man felt his legs turn to jelly. Why the hell was he so blind not to recognize a big shot standing right in front of him? That was the legendary Obsidian card.
And yet, it had appeared in the hands of the man in front of him. Banks would only give this card to ones who have a certain amount of money in their account, and the amount was one his poor mind dared not think about.
"Henry, you see that the card in your hands is making the manager so angry that he's trembling," Janet frowned as she pointed at the manager who seemed transfixed on the spot.
"Well then, I'd advise you to fall on your knees and ask for mercy." Janet sneered as she continued.
"Are you sure about that?" Henry chuckled as he looked at the man.
Even though he didn't know what the man had seen in the card, he was quite confident that a card given to him by Mia wouldn't be an ordinary card. Perhaps, the man had recognized it.
"Are you fucking deaf?" Janet growled as she looked at Henry.
"Guards, I think it'll be best if you get rid of his trash, he's already managed to annoy your manager." Janet smiled as she pointed at the man who was still trembling from shock.
Immediately, the man came back to his senses as she raised his head to look at Janet who had just spoken. What the hell was she saying? He was sure that she had no idea of the card Henry was holding.
"Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?" The manager yelled as he lost his cool.
"Well, I suppose this should face him, not me." Janet grinned.
"Idiot!" The man sneered as he looked at Henry.
"Sir, I'm sorry for doubting you earlier, but I'd like to plead that you change your mind and not buy out the mall anymore." The manager sighed as he pleaded.
Even the owner of the mall didn't have the right to hold an obsidian card, and yet the shabbily dressed young man in front of him had one. What the hell was that hinting?
It meant that even if the young man wanted to acquire the mall without paying a dime he would be able to do it and he couldn't help but shiver when he thought of this.
"Sir, I think there's something wrong. Why are you pleading with him?" Janet frowned as she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Something is wrong with your head." The manager yelled as he turned to face Janet.
"But he's just a trash who can't even afford a good piece of clothing." Janet sneered.
"A piece of trash?" The manager snorted coldly,
"I think you're the trash instead." He yelled.
Janet frowned as he couldn't hear her ears, what the hell was the man saying? Had he suddenly gone blind?
"I..."
"Shut the fuck up and open your eyes!" The man yelled angrily, cutting off Janet.
"The card in his hands is the Obsidian card, and yet you're saying that he's just a piece of trash. I'm afraid you'll not be able to spend all the money inside the card even if you squander it for the rest of your lives."
"Well then, she's just a small fry, why bother listening to her." Henry chuckled as he said.
"You..." Janet gritted her teeth as she pointed at Henry..
"Well then, I thought I told you not to be shocked when you see what's more than you can handle later on." Henry shrugged.
"But then, it seems like you didn't listen to me.".
"How dare you talk to me that way!" Janet yelled as she lunged at Henry.
"Impudent!" The manager frowned.
"Guards, throw her out." He ordered.
immediately, Janet felt two strong arms holding her even before she was able to make a move.
"Get your dirty hands off me," Janet yelled.
"you're not supposed to take me, you have to take that piece of trash instead." Janet continued as she struggled but it was all futile.
"Sir, shall we go into the office to discuss this." The manager smiled as he looked at Henry.
"That'll be no need, I'll take my leave instead, help me pack those clothes, and I'll pay." Henry shook his head as he turned to the sales girl.
He wasn't interested in buying the mall in the frost place, it was just Janet who had been stepping on his ego that made him want to buy it.
"No sir, you don't have to pay, it's all yours." The manager said hurriedly as he turned around to glare at the sales girl who was standing behind.
Immediately, the girl rushed to pack up the clothes Henry had bought.

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."

"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."

Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon Chapter 10: Is This What You Call A Blueprint?
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

"Mr. Henry, I'm sorry for doubting you just now." The old man smiled as he apologized to Henry."It's alright," Henry smiled. He would have let Maximus go if the latter was not hell-bent on making a fuse."Sir, I have a request to make." The old man smiled embarrassedly as he looked at Henry."Say it." Henry smiled as he looked at the latter with a smile on his face. He could already tell that the old man wanted to ask him for a favor."I have a friend who has an incomplete design left by his father, and he has been trying to complete it, but he just couldn't. Can you help us take a look?""Well then, you can call him to bring over the design, but I won't be promising you anything at all." Henry smiled as he said, his voice turning serious.He was not a God, so there was no way he could promise that he would be able to complete a design that had been around for many years. Though he was a master in architecture, he was not too proud as some things were above his reach."Yes, I underst

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.

"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."

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."

"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?"

"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.

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
