An heir like Mathew had enjoyed the most luxurious life ever since he was young. Henry was sure that once his money ran out, Mathew would be lost about any hope of recovering. If Henry makes his family bankrupt by denying them the loan, Mathew could be transferred from the high and mighty man to a beggar. This kind of change in status was like sending him to hell.

Henry folded the paper the way he had pulled it. He placed it back in the envelope and slipped it inside his bag. Then, he stood up. “I need to leave. I’m sure I’ll come back here in the future.”

The woman pouted her lips like a child’s and blinked repeatedly. “You’re leaving now? Don’t you want to sit a little longer? I’ll be quite all lonely by myself if you go.” She said.

Henry sighed and crashed on the stool. She was smiling very brightly now and the more she smiled, the warmer he felt. Since he had nothing to do in school, Henry felt there was no harm if he sat back and chatted with the beautiful woman.

    “Please, chief!” Chelsa said with tears welling up in her eyes. “You better fall on your face and apologize to my guest else I’ll let your entire school know the kind of work you do.” Said the Chief with a determined look. “No! I’m very sorry. You must not do this.” Chelsea cried out. Her makeup was getting smeared by sweat dripping from her forehead. She was so frightened. As President of the Students Union, she was bound to be an example for all the students. If the whole school knew that she was a bar girl, her reputation would be tarnished and she would be expelled from school. “Chief, I’ll go back now,” Chelsea said with tears in her eyes. She was about to take a step toward the bearded man when Henry grabbed her hand and pulled her backward. “Wait a minute!” he then turned to the chief. “I’m also a guest here so now, I want her to be my bar girl.”The chief sneered. “Who are you? You better get lost.”Chief had already heard from their conversation that Henry was Chelsea’s

    “You can’t do this anymore. Are you even listening to me?” Henry said.Chelsea turned to him and instantly broke out crying. “Do you think I’m willing? You think I do this for fun?”Henry sighed. It wasn’t his intention to offend her.She stood up. “You’re a rich person. You know nothing about the despair of poor people. Have you ever been in a position where you needed money urgently but couldn’t get it?” she was crying profusely now and Henry was touched.“If the normal jobs you mentioned paid a good income, did you think I’d still be here doing such a degrading job?” she covered her face and continued crying bitterly.Chelsea’s heart was bearing a burden that no one knew about. She had to throw away her dignity and become a bar girl so that she could earn money. On the other hand, she was a respected president of the Students Union.

    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

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

    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.
