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
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
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 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
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
