“Okay.” Kelvin replied. Although he doesn’t understand why Henry wanted to gather everyone at their home at such a time, he hurriedly went out and began to knock from door to door. The residents of the neighborhood had a huge respect for Henry. So when Kelvin told that Henry was home and he needed to see them urgently, they all obliged. So far, Henry was the only kid in the neighborhood who had gone to the city for a university education. Most of the kids finish at high school level and start doing menial jobs to survive. They couldn’t afford a university education and none of them secured a scholarship.Meanwhile, the kids were not quite familiar with Henry after seeing them that night. Most of them had a vague memory of him but after seeing the way Hailey melted toward him, they could tell that he was family. While Hailey was putting them back to bed, the children couldn’t stop talking about the snacks Kelvin had put away. Some of the chocolates were also kept for them to finish

“How are we going to do this?” someone finally asked. Henry folded his arms across his chest. “Good question. All you have to do is sell your houses to me for two million each. You can use the money to secure other places and allow me to face the developers since your properties are going to become mine.” He explained. A thousand square kilometers of a three-bedroom flat in Greenville was only worth 500,000 thousand dollars so the money Henry was offering them was enough to buy two or more houses in other locations.“Henry, where did you get this money from?” the old man couldn’t help but ask. Henry smiled. Meanwhile, the money was sent by Uncle Nate when he sent over the plane to pick up Mr. Potter. Henry was the one who requested the cash so Uncle Nate delivered it from the city bank. Henry knew that it was going to be impossible to withdraw such a large amount of cash in a small city like Greenville. “So much money!”“Now, we’ll get to have 2 million dollars each?” another nei

“Come out and talk?” The leader of the gang roared and beat his chest repeatedly in arrogance. Suddenly, a slap was heard, and the arrogant man who had just spoken staggered backward. He received a punch in the face and he immediately fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. The group of people in black vests behind him were dumbfounded. The one who was struck to the ground was the leader of the group. His name was Kyiv. He works with the Holiday Developers company as a top goon to make a living. “Kyiv, are you okay?” One of the men asked. Before Kyiv could sit up, he received another resounding slap on the face. He shook his head vigorously and looked up at the person towering above him. Kyiv’s eyes widened when he saw a very beautiful girl standing above him with a cold smile. June lowered her head and waved her hand at his face. “This is a warning. Next time, don’t speak so arrogantly.”Suddenly, Kyiv’s group rushed toward June with hostile expressions. Hailey and Kelvin r

June nodded and retreated behind Henry, giving Tiny Tim the initiative to take over. With clenched fists, Tiny Tim turned to Henry.“Sir, what do you want me to do to him?”Henry hummed. “Well, it’s up to you to put his arms and legs to good use.”Tiny Tim nodded and took off his shirt, exposing his broad chest and muscles. He groaned and clenched his fists again, looking at Kyiv with eyes filled with contempt.Kyiv was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Not only was he slapped before his men, but another man was looking down at him. He turned around to his men and cocked his head toward them.“What are you guys still waiting for? Go and attack!” Kiev roared.The hoodlums raised their weapons and roared as they charged toward TinyTim. One of them raised his club and hit Tiny Tim on the back but Tiny Tim flashed a smile at him.“You might want to tickle me some more. Come on. Go ahead and hit me.” Said Tiny Tim with a mischievous smile.Kiev was surprised by Tiny Tim’s reac

Kyiv screamed so miserably that his voice changed. Henry walked up to Kyiv and looked into his eyes. “Now listen to me. I want you to send a message to your boss. No one must demolish any building here. Tell Mr. Holiday that I own this place now and if he doesn’t listen to me then I’ll kill him.”Henry then motioned to Tiny Tim to release Kyiv. The door was finally pushed open and Kiev and his men struggled out and helped themselves outside as if they were fighting for their lives. The men were all scared by the way they were just handled. All of them had already wet their pants. Now, Mr. Potter’s home had become the den of dragons and tigers. Kyiv and his men had just concluded that the people inside were no longer humans but cruel creatures.After they finally got out of the house and luckily made it back to their cars, Kyiv looked at the door with fear in his eyes. He kept wondering how such a group of ruthless people ended up at the house at such a time. Both of Kyiv’s arms were

Henry and his two foster siblings spent about an hour wandering around the street market. After eating to their fill, they went back home but the next morning, Henry decided to take the rest of the family for breakfast at the street market. By 7 am, both cars were packed with the children and as they drove down to the street market, other kids around the neighborhood looked at them in awe. Mr. Potter’s kids were so happy that they shouted and danced for joy as they were being conveyed to the street market. Seeing the state of the children, Henry understood their situation. Living on that street, they settled on the little Mr. Potter and a few people of goodwill gave them. Going to the biggest restaurant in the city for breakfast was a luxury the children never thought they could experience.A few miles latter, they arrived the biggest restaurant in Greenville, located around the street market. When they got out of the cars, the children rushed toward the biggest food store which wa

The man brushed off his suit with his hands and looked Henry straight in the face. “My name is Ryan Holiday. Ask around.”Henry smiled the moment the man introduced himself. “Really? I was going to look for you and here you are, right before me.”Ryan was a subordinate of the developers disturbing the neighborhood. He was also a cousin of the head of the company.Suddenly, two men who were bodyguards of Ryan barged into the restaurant. They had been waiting for him inside the car outside. The men saw Henry standing before their boss with contempt in his eyes. “Who the hell is this and why was he speaking to you anyhow?” One of the bodyguards asked. Ryan slipped one hand inside his pocket and chuckled. “Just forget it. It’s one of the bunch of beggars over there.” He pointed at the children and then turned to Henry. “Why are you looking for me?”“The houses on the old street were demolished by you guys right?” Henry asked. “Yes. And what are you going to do about that?” Ryan fired

“Calm down everyone and get back to your seats. You’ll soon eat.” Henry said and turned to the manager. “Did you hear them? Hurry up and bring up the best cakes, harm burgers, and all they need. This place is closed down. We’ll pay to have the place to ourselves without any interruptions.” He explained. “Sure.” The manager said and motioned to the staff to swing into action. He then took off a handkerchief and wiped the sweat that had teamed up on his forehead.Henry and his foster siblings moved to one of the vacant booths and sat. The manager’s assistant walked up to him and began to whisper. “Manager? Why will you grant this bunch of beggars access to such luxury?”“What do you know? Hurry up and find ham burgers and cakes.” The manager fired at his assistant. He began to address the staff who were now responding to the children. “Ensure you provide all they need.”The manager’s assistant didn’t expect that he was going to be berated for asking such a simple question. He sighed

Micheal flipped the card and turned to Henry and Kelvin with disbelief in his eyes. He felt as if he was living in a dreamland.How did Henry, a trash collector buy a car worth a million dollars? Wondered Micheal. He looked intensely at Henry again and concluded that he had underestimated the value of Henry’s clothes and cologne. If he had imagined that Henry’s life turned better, it was now evident that it changed for the better.Henry cleared his throat loudly and stretched his hand toward Micheal. “My card, please.”Micheal passed the card to Henry with a trembling hand. He was tempted to ask Henry where he got so much money from. Throughout his years of working at the car shop, Micheal had barely saved 50,000 dollars so he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of job Henry had in Marylyn.Originally, Micheal felt a sense of superiority before Henry but now that the transaction was complete, the sense of superiority instantly became that of inferiority.Micheal’s heart was instantly f

Greenville was a small town and the occupants knew each other so news about the demolition was now an agenda in the town.Henry nodded and said nothing.Micheal concluded that Henry was very worried about the matter that’s why he couldn’t even comment on it.“Don’t be anxious.” Micheal started the comfort Henry. “Didn’t people on the old street go to confront the developers? Be positive. I’m sure that there’ll be changes.”Henry nodded again. “It’s just about time. Everything will be fixed once the ownership of the Holiday real estate company changes hands.”Micheal looked at Henry with a quirked brow. His confusion was growing. Were the developers planning to sell their company? Micheal could not imagine that. Everyone knew Ryan Holiday as a big sky that could cover the entire town with his glory and the company was his fortress.Henry saw Micheal looking at him with a blank expression so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Why don’t we look at the cars first?”“Right!” Michea

Kelvin and Henry finally settled for a business car which was spacious enough to accommodate twenty passengers. “Let’s go and get it,” Henry said and stood up. Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “Wait, you mean right now?”“Don’t worry about the urgency,” Henry replied with a smile. He went to the kitchen and instructed Hailey to look after the children then he went to meet Kelvin by the door. There was only one car shop in the entire city. So instead of going in his car, Henry requested that they walk to the spot. “It’s a way of exercising.” He had said. As they made their way toward the car store, Henry looked at the old street carefully. The more he studied the area, the more he realized that it was tearing into pieces and the environment felt odd for him. He had three years’ worth of memory there and he couldn’t help but imagine how the neighbors who were forced out of the area felt despite being attached to the place all their lives. “You bought all the houses. What are you going to

Chapter 192The other men opened their eyes and when they saw Betty and Tiny Tim in the room, they began to tremble with fear. They were so scared that they wet themselves on the bed. Henry had already explained to Betty and Tiny Tim their role at the hospital. Kyiv was so scared that his whole body was trembling. The sight of Betty and Tiny Tim in the room instantly gave him post-traumatic stress disorder. It was barely two days after their last encounter. Betty giggled and moved closer to Kyiv. “I’m not here to teach you a lesson. Our employer ordered us to come here because he had something to tell you.”After hearing that they weren’t there to finish him off as he expected, Kyiv heaved several sighs of relief. “Go ahead!” He said. Betty folded her arms across her chest and began. “My employer sends his sympathy. We heard that Ryan Holiday abandoned you guys. Although you guys offended my employer’s family in the past, he had always been clear about his intentions. Your boss ha

In the future, Henry was going to return to his biological family and by that time, he’d be further away from his Greenville family so he needed to empower them as soon as he could. As long as he could support Kelvin to take charge of the family, Henry knew that he could be anywhere and his mind would be at ease. The Holiday Real Estate Company was considered a top company in Greenville. If Kelvin controls such a company, ordinary people would not be able to offend him hence the Potter family would remain safe so that’s why Henry wanted to secure the spot. After Kelvin agreed, Henry turned to Betty. “You know what to do.”Betty stood up and cleaned her hands with a napkin. “Yes sir.” She nodded and left. ***The entire Holiday real estate company was in a mess. Even though the people at the old street were gone, Ryan had stationed guards around the company because the people might return at any time. All the employees were forced to sleep over at work that night. Even though it wa

When Henry woke up the next day, he was greeted by the events that took place at the Holiday real estate site. According to Kelvin, the neighbors on the old street who protested had an intense conflict with the employers of the company. Although Ryan had threatened the photographers and reporters from taking multimedia clips of the situation, the people did their job and as it stands, everything that was captured had been uploaded on the internet. “Look!” Kelvin said and passed his phone to Henry.When Henry watched the video, he broke into an intense laughter. There was no denying that the conflict was a heated one. These were the same people who had hidden in the past but now, every one of them was as powerful as a mad tiger; all thanks to the 2 million dollars Henry had promised each of them. In the video, Henry saw how the people roared and shook the gates violently. The employees of the company could not stop them at all. Amidst the confusion and chaos, the protesters pushed t

After the people were gone, Kelvin turned to Henry. “I agree with what you’ve done. It will be difficult for them to reverse the agreement but they can go ahead and try. These people are very hateful. Where were they when we were fighting the developers? Now they finally dare to fight back because of the 2 million they could get?” Kelvin spat and shook his head with contempt. Henry smiled and turned to the children. “Come, let’s get inside.”Kelvin and Hailey led everyone into the house. Although Mr. Potter’s house was in a bad state, the area of the house was not small. There were cracks on the wall and the paintings had faded but there was enough space for the children to sleep and play around. Kelvin took the children to their rooms to make their beds and do their morning chores which they couldn’t do earlier due to the excitement of having breakfast at a fancy restaurant.Hailey noticed the way Henry was surveying the living room. She walked up to him. “The place is old and sma

Kyiv was the most disappointed among the group. He had served Ryan Holiday for so many years and he had been working extra hard to prove himself. It was the demolition; a project handed over to him by Ryan himself that made him crippled but Ryan didn’t just refuse to pay for his treatment. He also dumped him. Kyiv shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “Ryan, I curse you and all your generations to come.” He screamed out of despair.***Henry and the children were done having breakfast. They were now on their way back to their home on the old street. When the cars pulled toward the house, Henry and the others saw a large group of people blocking the entrance. As they drove closer to the house, June turned to Henry. “I don’t know what these people are looking for so we should avoid them.”Henry pulled down the reflectors and looked closely at the group. He turned to June with a calm expression. “Don’t worry. They are all neighbors of the old street.”The cars finally came to a halt an

After getting his teeth extracted, Ryan had an artificial one placed back there and immediately after he walked out of the clinic, he reached out for his phone and placed a call to his favorite subordinate.“Kyiv, where are you now!” Ryan yelled over the phone after his call was responded to. Kyiv was Ryan’s most loyal and capable subordinate. With the help of Kyiv, Ryan was able to achieve a lot of operations not worthy of mentioning. Kyiv sighed over the phone. “I need you to get your ass over here!” Ryan went on yelling. “I have a job for you.” As far as Ryan was concerned, only a man like Kyiv could handle Henry. Meanwhile, Kyiv’s voice was calm. “I’m in an emergency room at the hospital right now.” He replied and groaned afterward. Ryan was surprised when he heard Kyiv moaning over the phone in pain. “Which hospital is that and why are you in an emergency room in the first place ?” Ryan asked. “The community dispensary on Barett Street,” Kyiv responded. Ryan immediately h
