Three months ago, old street where Mr. Potter’s House was located was chosen by developers in Greenville who was set to buil a company and according to them, Mr. Potter’s street was the ideal location.
Meanwhile, some of the people living on old street were pleased with the demolition going on by the developers on the street because they were offered monetary compensation but the likes of Mr. Potter who preferred their home to any form of compensation were not happy with the initiative.
The developers were taking advantage of the situation. Since the dwellers of old street in Greenville were peasants, they were only offered a hundred thousand dollars each as compensation. Some of the houses were even two storey buildings passed on to the dwellers years ago.
Even though the amount was not enough to pay for the worth of the building, some of the town’s people felt that it was better compared to nothing because as far as they wer

Henry then asked Kelvin to get into the car and sit. Kelvin nodded and went back into the car. He leaned back on his seat and fell asleep in a short while. Kelvin had been so recently exhausted. Taking care of Mr. Potter at the hospital and supporting Hailey to care for the younger kids was a very difficult task. Among the children that Mr. Potter adopted, Henry, Kelvin and Hailey were the oldest. The rest were around eleven to eight years old. Henry went into the car and mounted the driver’s seat while June followed behind with the rest of the team. After driving for about twenty minutes, Henry pulled the car down the street. As he swerved the car toward Mr. Potter’s yard, Henry noticed the changes that had occurred during his absence in the last three years. There were houses that had been demolished and were now in a state of ruin. Looking closely at the ruins, Henry noticed that the neighborhood had lost its charm. Normally, kids used to play around till bedtime while the elder

“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
