Henry waved his hand indifferently. “This is a small matter. As long as you’re willing to work for me then consider yourself as family. Your troubles are now my troubles.”Tiny Time was elated. He had been invincible in the underground world after his mishap with his boss. Since then, he had always wanted to stand up again but the Patel family who had been chasing him were not people he could afford to offend so he had continued to sink in despair.Fortunately, Henry had given him a chance which meant that he could make a comeback.Tiny Tim cleared his throat loudly and turned to Henry. “Mr. Parker, I have another request.” He exaled sharply. “It might be a little too much.”“Speak.” Henry urged.“When I was hiding in this construction site, I could barely boast of a penny. It was the friends I made here that supported me to get through the difficult times and now that the construction boss hadn’t paid us, my friends are having a hard time. Mr. Parker. Can you……Tiny Tim stopped after
After the workers shrouded Henry, he waved his hand and called Tiny Tim over. Tiny Tim made his way through the small crowd and was soon standing in front of Henry.“Troy is gone and so are his subordinates.” Henry began. “Tiny, Tim I need you to take some of the workers and move around the area. You guys should take pictures of the poor-quality materials that are used here for construction.”Tiny Tim raised an eyebrow in confusion.“You guys can use your phones to take the shots. Ensure that you capture everything” Henry pointed out.“Sir. Are you going to…” Tiny Tim slurred and cocked his head.“I’m going to help the workers get their money but I need to make some preparations first,” Henry replied.“Okay.” Tiny Tim replied happily. He called the workers to the side and selected the ones who would assist him in taking the pictures. To the rest of the workers, Tiny Tim said. “Mr. Parker is going to get our salaries so you guys should stay here and don’t panic.”The workers heaved sig
Alexander opened his palms before his managers. “I have not offended anyone recently so why would anybody want to sabotage my company?”One of the managers walked up to Alexander and lowered the pitch of her voice. “Chairman, I think Benedict offended someone recently. You know that he’s currently with the Smith family so I believe he’s seeking refuge there. What if this was all his fault?”Alexander pondered for a moment. It made sense to him. Benedict had been out of town for days and it was unlike his son to get away from home. He wrapped his hand around his neck and groaned and then he began to mumble curses.The woman who linked Benedict’s interference with the situation was a subordinate of the Red family aside from being a manager of one of the company’s departments.“Get out. All of you!” Alexander dismissed the managers. He yanked off his tie and quickly reached for his phone on the table.His secretary quietly leaped out of the office.Alexander dialed Benedict’s phone numbe
“Troy!” Benedict called out the moment his call was responded to. “Are you alright over there.”“Not at all. If you have something to say, better say it quickly.” Troy flared up. Benedict swallowed the lump that had suddenly developed in his throat after Troy’s outburst. Troy was not polite to Benedict because the production lines of the land armor industry were all turned into scrap metals. What troubled him the most was how to complete the customer’s orders. As for the small orders, it wasn’t a problem for Troy because he relied on his family’s influence to complete the orders. However, the large orders he had received were the deadliest. The client Troy was bothered about was the Warren family. This was not just about compensation. He was so worried that he felt as if his head was about to fall off. Benedict heaved a sigh and began. “Troy, I understand what you’re going through and at this point, there’s nothing you can do but if you can’t salvage the situation then you should
Wayne went on eating as he pondered on the situation before him. He gritted his teeth several times, sighed, and ate more pancakes. In the end, the temptation of a hundred thousand dollars won over reasoning. Meanwhile, Henry had asked June to drive back to the hotel. June drove the car to the VIP parking lot and pulled it to a halt.Star Moon was back in business. “Sir, do you think Wayne would come?” June demanded the moment they stepped out of the car. Henry glanced at his wristwatch and made his way into the hotel while June followed. It had been twenty-five minutes since June contacted Wayne. Henry was counting on Wayne to show up in 30 minutes.The duo made their way to one of the VIP lounges on the top floor while Mr. Cross went to welcome Betty and Tiny Tim. A waitress quickly appeared with a bottle of wine. Henry uncovered his glass and the waitress poured some wine into his glass. He turned to June who was picking grapes from a plate. “I wouldn’t want to force anyone. I
“You’re from the Parker family.” Wayne spat.In this world, only the Parker family was cruel to their children to make them stronger. Wayne knew that those who were of age were chased out of the house to live outside on their abilities.Wayne looked up at Henry and let out a gasp. This meant that he was standing before the direct descendant of the Parker family. Wayne was speechless and he began to tremble. He was looking forward to meeting a rich man when the guards picked him up but he didn’t expect it to be the direct heir of the Parker family. No wonder his pancakes were paid for with a gift of 100,000 dollars.Cold sweat began to flow down from Wayne’s head. This meant that the young man sitting in front of him could be in charge of the Parker family in the future. He knew that the power and influence of Henry gave him access to the toughest and best guards so what does he want from him?Wayne saw that June had bee
Troy quickly pulled out his phone and placed a call to Miss Rose from the Eye of Dark Knight.“Hello, Miss Rose.”“Troy, What can I do for you?” she asked frantically.After seeing the phone call from Troy, Miss Rose was alarmed. She had been paying attention to the conflict between Henry and Troy. She knew that Troy had used his power to shut down the starmoon hotel for a while but Henry’s shocking revenge on the production line was a big one. Miss Rose didn’t want to offend Troy but she won’t dare to offend Henry either. The battle between the two of them was the battle between two beasts. The Eye of Dark Knight was just like the grass beneath them. If the grass is caught up in a battle between two beasts, it will only be crushed.Now that Troy had contacted her, Miss Rose was at a loss for what to say.“What do you know about Henry?” Troy went straight to the point.
In his room at the Villa of Springwood Garden, Troy had created a mess. He went on a rampage after his call with Miss Rose. Troy was destroying all the appliances, paintings, and artifacts in his room. As the heir to the Smith family, Troy felt like he had been reduced to nothing. Now that he was in this situation, he felt hopeless. Troy was respected wherever he went and now, even the Eye of Dark Knight which he considers mere did not seem to respect him.The only way Troy could vent his anger was by ruining the things in his room. He grabbed a stool and smashed it against his dressing mirror. Benedict walked into the villa and was on his way to Troy’s room when he heard the shattering of glasses. Benedict fastened his steps toward Troy’s room. The door to Troy’s room was wide open so Benedict caught a glimpse at the mess from a distance. “What is wrong with you Troy? Why are you ruining things?” Benedict cried out. Troy was standing by the window with clenched fists. His lips
