2024-10-29 19:42:56Henry 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 as he looked at the two guards, he hadn't expected them to stop him from entering which felt rather ridiculous to him.
According to Mia, the whole company was now his and he had the right to do anything he wanted to do with it.
He just couldn't understand why the two imbeciles would try to on the orders of one who had been expelled from the company.
"Well then, I'd suggest you let me in." Henry frowned as he looked at the men.
"Well, it seems like we'll have to break your legs since you don't want to listen." One of the guards sneered as he moved closer to Henry.
"I bet you wouldn't know how you died if even a strand of hair was missing on his body." A cold voice came just as the guard was about to get to Henry.
"Here you are, Mia." Henry smiled as he looked at Mia, who was approaching him quickly.
"Well then young master, I didn't expect you to come so quickly." Mia smiled as she looked at Henry.
If not for the fact that she had luckily seen Henry when he was coming down from the taxi, she didn't know what would have happened if she hadn't come out. Well then if anything should have happened to the young master, she was sure to take the blame and the punishment wouldn't be a light one.
"Well, I got pretty bored quickly, so I decided to come over." Henry shrugged as he looked at Mia.
"That's great then, you've picked a really good time as I'll be having a meeting with the executives of the company." Mia smiled as she led Henry inside the company.
"Would you be willing to come?" Mia continued with a smile on her face.
"Sure." Henry nodded as he looked around. At first, he wanted to refuse, but then thinking about it, he changed his mind.
He was going to have to familiarize himself with the executives if he wanted to build a perfect business empire.
Besides, the company was about something he was very good at so, there was no need for him to back down, it wasn't as if he wouldn't be able to understand the discussion.
"Young Master, here we are." Mia's voice brought Henry out of his thoughts.
"Let's go in." Henry smiled as he pushed open the door and walked into the conference hall with Mia.
"And who do we have here?" A mocking voice sounded just as the two walked into the hall.
"A beggar I'd guess." Another voice sounded.
"Well then, I'd guess you'll all be asking for his forgiveness if you know of his identity." Mia sneered as she looked at the bunch of old men ridiculing Henry.
"Oh wow, if he's not another spoiled brat of the Humphrey family, then who the hell is he?" One of the old men sneered as he looked at Henry.
Henry smiled as he raised his head to look at the old man. Well then, he wanted to know what was going on in the company before he was going to say anything.
"Mia, it's alright, I think you should begin the meeting quickly so you'll be able to save time." Henry smiled as he looked at Mia who looked like she was about to explode.
"Huh?" All the executives froze upon hearing Henry's statement, at first, they had thought that Henry was going to say something rather degrading, but then the latter had asked Mia not to defend him.
Besides, his voice was calm which made them feel a sense of fear toward Henry who was sitting right beside Mia.
Mia on the other hand was quite shocked when she heard Henry, but being the young master, she didn't think too much about it and just sat down.
Since the young master wasn't interested in her defending him, she wasn't going to do it either.
In no time, the meeting started as Henry listened rather intently. The meeting revolved around how they were going to make the company better as it had been in a stagnant stage for about a while.
Many of the old men suggested they hire skillful architects and they were sure to be able to make a great leap.
"Young Master, what's your thoughts on the matter?" Mia smiled as she turned around to face Henry who had been listening.
"Well, I don't think he'll be any better, even if we were not able to come up with a solution. What makes you think that a brat would be able to do that?" One of the executives sneered as he looked at Henry.
"Are you sure about that?" Henry smiled as he looked at the man.
"Well I'm very confident, there's nothing that a spoiled brat like you would know." The executives sneered while the others nodded.
"Well, then do you dare to make a bet?" Henry smirked as he looked at the man.
"Hmph! Why won't I dare to make a bet with a brat like you."
"Okay then since that's it, you'll kneel and bow to me thrice if I can provide a solution." Henry smiled.
"Well then, what if you can't?" The man sneered.
"You're free to do as you wish." Henry smiled as he stood up slowly.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" The executives frowned.
"Just watch." Henry smiled as he picked up the remote used to control the large screen that they were using to do analysis.

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
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
Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon I Am Your Father
"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

"Brother, I have been bullied, you must help me take revenge." The young man ran forward to meet the man who was making his way towards Henry and Mia."Don't worry, I'll surely help you with your revenge." The man beat his chest as he declared proudly."Hey kid," The man strode forward as he said arrogantly to Henry."Break your limbs and apologize to my brother, then leave that beauty behind, probably I might be willing to spare your life." He said, condensing as he looked at Henry.Henry raised his head and looked at the man as though he was looking at a fool. Soon, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth and he replied coldly."Well, I'd be considering sparing you if you break your limbs instead."Everyone in the restaurant was shocked as they couldn't believe their ears. They couldn't help but shake their heads as they looked at Henry in pity. This Young man didn't know the seriousness of the matter."Hey kid, you'd better break your limbs and apologize to my brother, or else

"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

"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?"

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."

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
