"Young Master, what are we doing here?" Mia furrowed her brows looking at the restaurant in their front.

"I came to meet someone," Henry smiled as he said.

Looking at his watch, Henry frowned slightly, there was still some time before Ethan and the others would arrive.

"Young Master, ain't we going in?" Mia asked.

"No, they are not here yet, they'll be here in a minute, so let's wait for them." Henry smiled, turning around wanting to walk back to the car.

"Ouch!"

A painful yell came as Henry was forced backward.

"Hey, aren't you going to apologize for knocking on me?" Henry frowned as he stretched his hands, pulling the figure backward.

"Idiot, don't you have eyes, you were the one who bumped into me and yet you want me to apologize." The figure snorted coldly as he yanked Henry's hands away from his collar.

Due to the fridge he used, Henry's watch was forcefully pulled off from his hands and it was sent flying, falling to the floor and crashing into pieces.

Henry's face scrunched up

    "Young Master, aren't you being too excessive?" Mia frowned, walking towards Henry."Nope, it's not too excessive," Henry shook his head as he squatted picking up his watch. Even though it was broken it was still worth two Million dollars, so he was not going to leave it here."But do you think Gerald would believe what you said?" Mia continued to ask as she felt rather unconvinced. Though she didn't know what the Young Master was planning, she could tell that whatever he was planning wasn't good."Even if they wouldn't believe it, I would just make them believe. It's very simple and workable." Henry laughed."How?""Just sit back and watch a very good show, Mia. Would it be interesting if I told you everything?" Henry chuckled, patting Mia's shoulder."But..." "Don't worry, I can handle everything, your worries are unnecessary. When the time comes, we'll be able to reap the fruits." Henry interrupted Mia.Mia couldn't help but nod in agreement, though she was determined to tell the

    "You don't know who Mr. Martins is?" Ethan asked with a bitter smile as looked at Henry."No, I don't," Henry replied as he looked at Ethan."Mr. Martins is the owner of LunaWave Robotics," Ethan said as he looked at Henry."I see," Henry muttered.Though he was shocked, it didn't show on his face. LunaWave Robotics was the top technological company in the country. Even though it couldn't be said to be on the same level as the ones the Humphrey family owned.The company was still a force to be reckoned with and it was far more powerful than the Brooks and the other four families combined. Besides, he had investments in other sectors and they could be said to be doing well even though the scale was not up to the technological company he owned.It was also then he realized why Gerald had come. Seemed like he was trying to meet with Mr. Martins, but then what a pity he chased the other party away. But then still, the remaining three families were going to come and want to try meeting him

    Martins smiled bitterly hearing what Henry said. What cost was he willing to pay? Well, then it depended on what Henry asked.He needed Henry's help as he felt that the latter would be able to make the corrections needed. Because of the mistake, they had been unable to proceed with most of the project.The architect who also designed it was unable to correct the mistake, no matter how much he tried he was unable to do so even though it was his creation.He had then invited James to help, but then he was also helpless. Just as he was about to give up, James told him about Henry.Though he was skeptical, he still agreed to meet with him, but then, who would have thought that Henry would exceed his expectations and also pass the test he had set more than his expectations?"Mr. James, it's nice meeting you, but I think I'll be going now. Thanks for the meal." Henry's voice sounded snapping Martins out of his thoughts."Mr. Henry, can you not leave yet?" Martins sighed as he looked at Henr

    "Young Master, these are what you asked me to prepare for you," Mia said as she passed some documents to Henry who had just sat."What about the executives?" Henry inquired as he opened the files in his front with a satisfied expression."Well, they are all quite apprehensive as they didn't know what you have in store for them," Mia replied with a beam.She liked the way the Young Master had handled the executives. Even though he had said that he was going to punish them, he had not acted, making them fearful as they didn't know what Henry wanted to do.Henry on the other hand shook his head hearing what Mia said. Well then, he could care less about the executives at the moment, the problem he had at hand was greater.After he solved everything, he was going to come back and deal with them. But as of now, they should wait and think all they want to think.Henry was soon absolved from reading the documents Mia gave him. She had done a good job as she had made sure to mention all the im

    "If this isn't the young master of the Brooks." Henry laughed, turning around and seeing who it was."I didn't know you had this much time on your hands. How about I invite you for a drink?" John smiled as he said."A drink? I'm not interested. I just came to get a watch." Henry Shrugged."A watch for what?" John asked."To look at the countdown you have before your company is fully destroyed." John continued as he laughed loudly."Nope, that's not the case." Henry shook his head smiling lightly."The watch is not to watch my tickling time, rather it's to look at the time left for your family to be wiped away from the face of the earth?""Huh?"John froze, not understanding what Henry meant. For a moment he was scared, but then after carefully analyzing the situation, he realized that Henry was just bluffing to scare him."Mr. Henry, I'm afraid that kind of bluff wouldn't do anything to me. We both know you're nowhere powerful enough to do anything to our family.""I'm afraid even if w

    Henry took in a deep breath as he walked out of the mall. It felt good having someone pay for his things. This was the second time it had happened. Well then he couldn't blame them, they looked down on him, so they had to pay the price for looking down on him.Now, what was the next thing to do? He still had a mountain of problems, so there was no way he was going to slack off.Now, it was time to launch the attack he had planned. The Roberts and the other families were going to bear the brunt of everything.Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind, Henry flagged down a taxi and headed to Nebular Technology Enterprise. Mia would be there, so it was time to start his plan.In no time the taxi arrived at the gate of Nebular Technology Enterprise. Alighting from the taxi after paying the driver, Henry walked in."Young Master!" Mia's shocked voice came just as Henry was about to walk in."Mia, you're leaving already?" Henry asked, feeling rather surprised."Yeah, I have told the exe

    (Two Days Later)"Mia, any information about the four families?" Henry asked as he sat on the chair."For the past two days, the Roberts and the remaining two families have their guards up as they are watching the Brooks strictly," Mia replied as she thought for a while."I see." Henry nodded with a smile on his face.Just as he had expected, Robert's family didn't do any sort of investigation and just went ahead to accuse Brooks which in turn they denied. This had caused a lot of tension between the families.But then, it was not enough to cause a fight, Henry was still looking for another thing to make them start fighting.He couldn't use the method he used the last time as it would be obvious. He could easily come up with another plan."Young Master, what are we going to do?" Mia asked, looking rather worried."It's time to put the next plan into play." Henry grinned, raising his head to look at Mia."What's the plan, Young Master," Mia asked, feeling rather excited."We'll be usin

    "Young Master, it has started," Mia said as she hurried into the office where Henry was."What has started?" Henry asked rather calmly as he raised his head from the design he was drawing."The Roberts and the remaining two families have started attacking the Brooks," Mia replied, sounding happy.She had made sure to watch the four families, and finally, after three days, the families made their moves.She was relieved and very happy that the Young Master's plan had worked as she was quite appreciative thinking it might not work.For the next stage of the plan, the Young Master had spent a lot and it would be a pity if the plan didn't work out. As such, she made sure to watch every action of the family."I see." Henry laughed as he dropped the pencil in his hands.He had been expecting this to happen and was quite surprised that it happened faster than he had expected. He had thought that the three families would try to investigate.As a result, he had set up countermeasures and made s

    "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.

    "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?" 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
