Henry was stunned by the way Miss Rose reacted over the phone. Not only had she shown feelings of shock, but she was also curious. He looked at Steven who was sitting in front of him, gulping water directly from the bottle. Henry understood that Miss Rose was frightened by Steven. Who would have thought that an underdog from the university would outshine the Queen of Eye of Dark Knight in intelligent service? This was unbearable for Miss Rose while Henry was impressed by Steven. All by himself, Steven was able to defeat the entire Eye of Dark Knight. Now that Steven had proven to be more capable, Henry was bent on recruiting him. Steven tossed the empty bottle of water to the side and threw his back in the chair. “When are you going to bring me the big meal?” he asked Henry. Steven had just consumed a bowl of dessert and a bottle of water. He was savoring his appetite for the five-star meal Henry promised him. “You could eat whenever you want,” Henry replied and stood up. “We c
Back at the Star-Moon Hotel, June poured some wine into a glass and passed it to Henry. Henry was about to take the drink when his phone began to ring. June retreated the drink. Henry responded to the call. “Hello, Miss Rose.”Miss Rose’s voice on the phone sounded a bit hesitant. “Mr. Parker.” She called out. “Did you find Benedict?”Miss Rose was silent and Henry wondered why she seemed to be in a dilemma. On her part, Miss Rose didn’t know how to tell Henry what she had on her mind.”“Are you there?” Henry asked. Miss Rose cleared her throat loudly. “I’m here Mr. Parker. Do you want to catch Benedict?”Henry frowned. “This is not something you should ask.” He almost yelled at her. “Mr. Parker. You misunderstood me. I did not mean that.” Miss Rose said quickly. “Then what do you mean?” Henry retorted. “I’ve already confirmed Benedict’s exact location but I suggest that you let him go.” She replied. Henry flared up and his voice echoed with anger. “You what?”Was Miss Rose ask
Henry darted his gaze from June to Mr. Cross and said. “That’s our way of doing things in the Parker family.”Mr. Cross’s eyes lit up. Henry was on point. When he defeated the McDonald family, he didn’t use the strength of the family but instead, he used all the weaknesses of the McDonald family against them. That was what Henry meant by using the smallest strength to gain the greatest benefit. “Mr. Parker. I think I understand what you mean.” Mr. Cross said. Henry nodded with satisfaction. “Since Troy’s family dared to protect Benedict, then they must be prepared to take my blow.” Stated Henry. “And as for Benedict, I’ll let him live for a few more days.” He added. “Mr. Parker. Is there anything else I can do?” asked Mr. Cross. Henry hummed. “As the saying goes, know your enemy and know about your enemy. If we want to give Troy’s family a fatal blow then we need a lot of information. The eye of Dark Knight is no longer reliable so I’m going to establish my intelligence departmen
At this moment, Henry approached the pool with a smile. He stood before Steven with his hand stroking his jaw. “How is it going? Are you satisfied with our services?”The girls had taken a plate of shrimp from Steven’s tray and were devouring it on the camp bed they were sharing.The waitress who had been on standby made her way to Steven when she saw Henry. “Hello, chairman!” she greeted Henry with a bow.Henry waved his hand and signaled to her that she could go. She left.“We will get back to the water.” One of the girls said while making their way into the pool with one of Steven’s dishes. They also took his dessert. “I’ll join you guys shortly,” Steven said with a sheepish grin.“Seems like you’re having a lot of fun,” Henry said. He sat next to Steven. Steven turned around. “Where is Dala? I think I nee
The next morning when Henry woke up, the first thing he did after taking a shower was to go to Jean’s room. Jean was dressed and was having breakfast when he walked in.Since the school was on break and Benedict was no longer a big threat, Jean decided to leave the hotel. Henry personally drove her down to campus where she’d collect her stuff and go home for the break.After dropping Jean off, Henry decided to use the day to buy a house. Henry could stay in whichever part of the Star Moon hotel he wanted but he still felt that it was suitable if he had his own house.Meanwhile, June was seated in the back seat of the car and was engrossed with her phone.“June, which area do you think is suitable for me to get a house in this city?” Henry asked.As a professional guard, June’s suggestion would be the most appropriate.“Give me a second,” June said and began to punc
William saw Henry walking in with a beautiful woman. He assumed that they were the kind of customers who dropped into the clubhouse once in a while to have fun.He walked up to them and before Henry could open his mouth, William spoke.“If you’re here to play, you can check another clubhouse around the area.”Henry looked around and shook his head. “I’m not here to play.” He replied. He then faced William. “Are you the boss here? I heard that this place is up for sale so I came here to have a look.”William smiled. What he needed was more people who would look at the place and offer him a fair price compared to the 3 million dollars Mario was proposing.However, William never thought that such a young man like Henry would want to buy his clubhouse. One should not judge a book by its cover he thought.William cleared his throat loudly. “Yeah. I want to sell this pla
Mario saw that William was tempted and he immediately became furious. He had his eyes on the clubhouse for so long. This was a golden opportunity he wouldn’t want to let go of. The interior area was very large and all he needed was a little funds to gain profits from the clubhouse. Mario had William under his control. He never imagined that someone would intercept him, a young man for that matter. He had no plans of raising the price above the 3 million he was going to offer William and as far as Mario was concerned, Wiiam had no choice but to take it. “You don’t know the difference between life and death. You think 30 million is worth your life?” Mario yelled. He pointed a finger at William’s face. “Today, I’ll show you that money is not everything and sometimes, all you need are subordinates.”Mario was very angry that Henry had snatched the clubhouse from him. He turned to his brother who had been standing beside him like a rock all this while.“Where are my dogs?”Mario’s brothe
“William, how dare you?” Mario snapped. William turned around and shouted at Mario for the first time in his life. “Why wouldn’t I dare?”“Do you know the consequences of offending me?” Mario fired back even though his men lay helplessly at Henry’s feet. William laughed. He was no longer afraid of Mario. After he pays his debt, he’ll have 10 million dollars left and that will be his ticket to move to another city and start afresh. Mario could only bully him in Marylyn. Once he was out of the city, Mario was nothing. Henry was very annoyed with Mario for causing a scene. He shook his head and said. “Too noisy.”June slipped behind Henry and began to take steps toward Mario.Mario’s brother was just a man in a suit with no combat training. He ran out. Mario raised a shaky index finger in June’s direction. “What are you doing? I’m warning you not to dare come close to me.”June smiled coldly and continued walking toward Mario. He couldn’t help but panic. If June had beaten up his men
