In Henry’s eyes, the Eye of Dark Knight was just a small powerhouse that he could use as a tool occasionally. If Eye of Dark Knight wouldn't let go of the people Henry wanted, then destruction awaited them.“Don’t worry Chelsea. I say that you can leave. No one would dare to stop you.” he said. He then smiled confidently.To Chelsea, the Eye of the Dark Knight was a huge net that made her fall deeper into it. Henry thought he could take her out with just a single word. She sighed and concluded that he didn’t know about the place that’s why he didn’t take it seriously.Henry was certain that Chelsea was free from tonight. There was no need to explain to her because she couldn’t imagine the kind of huge power that the Parker family could yield.Chelsea stood up and Henry sighed in relief. He grabbed his phone and headed to the door. When Henry opened the door, he saw the Chief standing by the door.When the chief saw Henry, he lowered his head respectfully. “Respected guest, are you sat
At this point, Henry was displaying all the attributes of a proud heir. His smile was confident and his eyes were filled with determination. Chelsea was intoxicated by his display of dominance and she began to feel some inexplicable sense of security.Less than ten minutes later, the door was pushed inside and Miss Rose walked in. Chelsea went back to her seat.Chelsea suddenly noticed that Miss Rose had loosened up and there was a mixed look of frustration and hopelessness in her eyes.Miss Rose walked up to Henry.“Mr. Parker!” She began. Her hands were placed behind her and she was standing while addressing Henry, an act of respect.“Yes,” Henry replied and sat up. “Did you figure out anything?”He looked at Miss Rose and studied her countenance. She was displaying fear and shock.She took a deep breath. “To be honest, I didn’t expect you to be the direct heir of the Parker family. My attitude towards you just now was too rude. Please forgive me, I’m sorry.”Chelsea’s eyeballs almo
Mathew wanted to use the international fashion competition as the stepping stone of his family’s growth into the clothing industry. Henry’s first step of counterattack was to make him unable to win the championship.Henry recalled Jean saying that she was going to participate in the competition. The corners of his mouth twitched with excitement when he thought about Jean. As the car sped down to East Street, Henry hugged himself and went back to thinking about Mathew. He was going to allow Mathew to relax for a few days then he won’t give him any chance to be proud in the future.The car stopped moving. The driver turned to Henry. “We have arrived at East Street.”Henry sat up and looked at both sides of the street. It was surrounded by lights and filled with people. East Street was a relatively crowded place in Marylyn City. It was a high-class market without boundaries. It operated 24 hours a day. The reason Henry went there was to buy a car. After Henry sorted the driver, he step
Cindy turned to her colleague and then pointed at Henry. “Look at this scavenger. He wants to buy a car from BTR.”They broke out laughing including the customers. Even though Henry was trying to keep his anger in check, he felt a surge of heat rising inside him. “Are you hard of hearing or is there something wrong with your brain? I said that I’m here to buy a car so introduce me to the collections.” Henry said with his brows furrowing with rage. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Cindy fired back. She palmed her forehead and then shook her head. “You know what? You don’t have to waste my time so just go away.”Henry frowned. “You think that I want to stay here and waste my time with you too?”Cindy gasped. “Excuse me?”Henry sighed. “You’re just a scavenger. What right do you have to be so arrogant?” Cindy went on ranting. Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in a well-tailored suit walked in. One gaze at him and Cindy could tell that he was a rich man. In that instant, Henr
The rich customer who was worthy of Cindy’s attention said nothing. He kept staring at the car keenly. “Would you like to look at other models?” Cindy implied with a determined smile that was willing to please her client at all costs. Cindy’s client plunged his hands inside his pocket and went on staring at the car intensely. She noticed that it was the first time he was taking his time to look at a vehicle. Cindy turned around and saw Regina and Henry beside her. She cleared her throat loudly and faced them. “As you can see, my client seemed to have developed a fondness for this car so I’d appreciate it if you guys excuse me,” Cindy said and shooed them with her hands. Henry frowned. Before he could open his mouth, Regina spoke first. “Mr. Parker, let me show you another car over here.”As a new employee, Regina would not dare to provoke Cindy so her way of salvaging the situation was taking Henry away. She turned around and expected Henry to follow her but he remained transfix
“And why are you still sitting in that car?” Cindy yelled at Henry. Henry quickly got out of the car the moment the manager fired Regina. He hurried toward her and held her before she could collapse on the floor and break into a torrential overflow of tears. The manager turned to Henry. “Do you know how much it costs to get a car like that thoroughly cleaned up? I’m sure you must have smeared the car with your filth. You must pay 200$ to compensate for the cleaning.”The manager was a small man but his voice rang of authority. “It’s either you pay and we get this car cleaned up or I’ll call the security and ensure that you are handed over to the police.” He told Henry. Cindy’s client moved closer to the manager. “Cleaning the car won’t be enough. No matter how you clean this car, I’ll still be disgusted by it. We need to change the exterior.”“I’m not even sure if he can afford that.” The manager said while looking at Henry. “To get this car cleaned up and thoroughly disinfected, i
While the manager resolved to work on Henry’s transaction papers, Regina was at a corner, too shocked to speak. A few moments later, Cindy came hurrying toward Henry with a rag. She had tied an apron that Henry had seen with one of the janitors. Cindy stood before Henry with a nervous smile. “I’ve cleaned up all the stains and I can guarantee that there are no more stains.”Henry nodded and threw something at her. Cindy caught it. It was a hundred dollars. “Just a tip.” He said. “Thank you for your hard work.”Cindy couldn’t utter a word. She was completely embarrassed by Henry’s tip and when she lifted her head, she saw the way her coworkers were gawking at her. She presented the money back to Henry. “I don’t want this.”“Everyone, get back to work,” Cindy instructed the senior staff. The staff went about their duties while Regina lingered around the staircase, waiting for the manager. Henry didn’t take the money. He leaned on the counter and asked. “Then what do you want?”To
Henry mounted the driver’s seat of his new car and threw his bag pack in the back seat. He started the car and drove straight to school then he swerved down to the dormitory. When Henry drove to the front of his dormitory, the area was almost empty. Only a few people were walking around. It was past 10 pm. Henry grabbed his back, locked the car, and went to his dorm room after parking it. When Henry stepped into the room, all his roommates were asleep, he dumped his bag on the bed, took a hot bath, and retired for the night. ****Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. His eyes caught the ray of sunlight penetrating the room through the open window but it was not what awakened him. He was woken up by a loud noise. Berry was beside Henry’s bed. He began to use all his strength to force Henry to wake up. “Get up. You have to see something.”“Don’t push me too hard, Berry. You’re making me dizzy.” Henry cried out. He sat up and rubbed his eyes with the back
