“Oh? Did I? Why is it that I’m not aware of this?” Mr. Fisher questioned. His heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t let it show. He asked, “Mr. Alex, did something happen?”

“Fisher! Don’t you dare pull tricks on me! Heed my order and release Henry right this instant! Or else, don’t blame me for cutting you off for good!” Alex yelled into the phone.

“Mr. Morris, there must have been a misunderstanding! I don’t know a Henry at all. How about I look into it for you?” The officer desperately put on an act by lying.

There was no way he would spill the beans on the plan.

“Alright then, you fat bastard. You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into! Mark my words–if anything happens to Henry, you and your whole family will go down with him!”

Alex hung up the phone with a threatening growl: “Did that old man get up on the wrong side of the bed today?” grumbled Fisher, his displeasure written all over his face.

“Sir, what’s wrong?” the Baker asked cautiously.

“What’s wrong? Where di

    “Fisher, you have pushed my limits!” Henry kicked the shackles aside and rushed towards him. “Quick, stop this kid!” Mr. Fisher screamed for help. The burly men immediately surrounded Henry, and all of them attacked him at the same time. “Get out of my way!” A surge of energy was released when Henry stomped his heel on the ground. The sheer force threw the men backward and crash into the walls of the interrogation room. All of them were dead in an instant, bleeding from their internal wounds. “Help, anybody! Please help!” Mr. Fisher turned pale and whirled around to escape. Henry kicked the limp body of a man lying beside him. It flew like a bullet and crashed into Mr. Fisher, who was attempting to escape. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, unable to run any longer. “I’ve warned you not to touch her.” Henry strolled up to him and hissed murderously, his eyes boring dangerously into Mr. Fisher. “Kid, don’t forget you’re in the police station! You can’t go too far!” Mr

    “What? This kid knows Mr. Alex Morris and Jonathan Adams?” Baker turned pale with shock. He didn’t believe it when Mr. Fisher told him about this. Now that he had witnessed the situation with his own eyes, only then did he realize the gravity of the situation. “Wow, even Mr. Alex is here. Mia must have asked for his help to save you. Seems like she really can’t live without you, huh?” Sarcasm dripped from Emily’s voice as she spoke. “Mr. Alex, why are you here as well?” Mr. Fisher frowned. Mia alone was tough enough to handle. If Alex and Jonathan joined in the fray, things might get out of hand. “If I didn’t show up, would you listen to reason?” Alex retorted angrily. “Mr. Alex, I informed you in the call last time. Give me some time so I can look into it. If there’s a mistake. I will let him go immediately.” Mr. Fisher tried to wriggle his way out.“I have no time to waste yapping with you. Let Henry go this instant!” Alex ordered impatiently. The corrupted ways of the police

Henry, you’re dead meat! What’s the use of getting Ms. Mia’s and Mr. Alex’s help? As long as Mr. Megan is on our side, no one will be able to save you today!” With the appearance of Mr. Megan, the expression on Baker’s face changed from fear to arrogance. He laughed mockingly, knowing that Mr. Megan was here to back them up. He was their savior! When Mia and Alex came to save Henry, Baker thought that they were doomed. Fortunately, Mr. Megan arrived just in time, which gave him peace of mind. “Mr. Alex! You slapped and shot me in the ear for that punk’s sake! You have gone too far!

    At this moment, in a beautiful villa. Ethan was talking to a young man dressed in luxurious clothes. Behind that man, two female bodyguards stood at attention. They were armed with swords and emitted an unapproachable aura. "Mr Paul, I'll keep giving you these secret antidotes to cure your illness. All I just want is your support and that of your father's guild," Ethan said."Sure, you'll receive my support and that of my father's," Paul stretched forth his hands to receive the antidote. "However, Ethan, don’t get ahead of yourself. If you want my father’s support, first, you would have to supply us with these antidotes continuously. Secondly, loyalty is paramount. Do you understand?” Paul said sternly. “I will remember your advice, Mr. Paul!” Ethan nodded. While talking, they were interrupted by a commotion from the gardens. The noise sounded like a cacophony of curses and cries of pain. “What’s going on?” Ethan frowned. At this moment, a bodyguard rushed into the room, his

    His prowess in sword fighting seemed like child’s play as compared to Henry’s abilities. With just a single move, Ethan was completely defeated! “Wh–Who are you? How could you have such immense powers?” Ethan exclaimed in terror, cold sweat pouring down his back. As a martial artist, Ethan was well–known for his agile and deadly attacks. At his peak performance, the massive energy from his sword could move mountains! How was Henry able to intercept his attack? What kind of monster could shatter swords with his bare hands? Henry could not be human! “Don’t you already know who I am?” Henry closed the distance menacingly and glared at him with icy–cold eyes. “Stay–Stay away!” Ethan backed away in a panic. “I don’t need the antidote’s prescription any longer. Please let me go!” “I have given you a chance to redeem yourself, but you didn’t take it. It’s too late to regret now!” Henry clapped his hands on Ethan’s shoulders and squeezed tightly.

    “Bastard! Don’t you know who I am? How dare you point a gun at me?” Paul stood up; his face livid. “I’m Paul, a member of the East city guild. Moreover, my father is the second–in–command! I know you understand what that means?” “East city guild?” When Paul revealed his identity, Alex’s expression grew serious. As the best guild in the East, East city guild has significant influence in the country. Even few of the wealthiest men's in their city, was only a normal member of the East city guild. This showed how strong and powerful the guild was! “What, are you scared?” Paul cackled mockingly as everyone remained silent. “Now that you know who you are up against, kneel down and beg for forgiveness Immediately.

    Over at the Millers‘ that afternoon. “Emily, are you going to Miss Layren’s birthday party this evening? Can you bring me along?” Solomon asked excitedly when he saw the invitation on the table. She was, after all, the daughter of Robert Layren, the richest man in the country. It would be beneficial to make acquaintances with such a person. “I will be attending the birthday party, but the invitation is limited to two persons only. Lilian has already called dibs on it.” Emily cast a damp over Solomon‘ enthusiasm. “Her?” Displeased, Solomon turned to look at Lilian, his cousin, who was on the couch applying makeup to her face. “Emily, I’m your brother! How could you bring her, your cousin and not me?” He grumbled. At that, Lilian shot him a glare and said condescendingly, “And what can you do there? Everyone attending the party tonight will be people of status and elites. Wouldn’t a high school dropout like you just embarrass yourself showing up there?” “Hey, what’s that suppose

    “Emily, you can head up first. I’m waiting for a friend here.” Lilian made up an excuse to send Emily away once they entered the hotel lobby. She was well aware that with Emily around, she would never get the attention she yearned for. How would she make acquaintances with the rich and famous then? How would she get to know rich, eligible men? “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at the banquet hall.” Without giving it much thought, Emily took the elevator up to the banquet hall. With Emily gone, Lilian quickly became the center of attention. She deliberately walked around the lobby and flaunted coquettishly, attracting much attention.Some men approached her in an attempt to strike up a conversation, but she rejected them all, playing hard to get. “Hey, you’ve got such lovely earrings! May I know where you bought them from?” “Yes, that’s true! I’ve never seen such exquisite carrings before!” “These rubies are huge! They must have cost you a lot!” Soon, not only the men came up to h

    “Josh, you’re finally back!” Robert approached him with a bright smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad.” Celestine smiled and gestured to the woman beside him. “Allow me to introduce you to Davina Harris, my fiancée.” — “Davina Harris?” Robert looked taken aback before asking tentatively. “Is she the third daughter of the Harris family?” “Yes, that’s right.” Celestine smiled. “Nice to meet you. Mr. Layren.” Davina nodded. “Yes, yes, nice to meet you, too. As expected of a daughter of the Harris family–you’re the very embodiment of beauty and grace!” Robert looked delighted. He never would’ve expected his son to be able to win the Harris family’s favor. The five wealthiest families in Flaz city were known as the Fabulous Five, but there were three other families seven more powerful than them–the Tremendous Three. The Harris family was one of them. If the Layren family could form an alliance with the Harris family through Celestine’s marriage with Davina, they’d have a bright fu

  • Getting Rid Of Them

    “Brown” was the pinnacle of power. Many people shared the same surname, but there was only one family that held that type of emblem. That family incurred fear from countless others, and no one dared to challenge them. “The Brown Emblem! W–who are you?” Peter gripped the badge with both hands, his body began to shake, and beads of sweat ran down his forehead. “You must be blind! This is Sir Damon Fletcher!” The large man hollered. “Damon Fletcher?” At the sound of the name, Peter immediately paled in fear. Not many knew of that name, but that man had a popular nickname–the Executioner! He had an infamous reputation for being the human butcher who sliced people like butter. There were three great generals in the Brown family–the Executioner, the Sword Whisperer, and the Drunken Maniac. Each one of them was enough to shake the country. The Executioner, Damon Fletcher, was the strongest of them all. He was so terrifying that kids would cry at the mention of his name. Rumor had it

    The crowd began to hurl insults at Henry. “It can’t be. Henry wouldn’t do that Emily shook her head, unable to accept that. “Why are you still defending him, Emily? Why do you still have feelings for that asshole? I’m telling you, Micheal’s the better man for you. He’s leagues above Henry! I’ll show you Henry’s true colors right now!” Mrs Miller yelled and began the playback, showing exactly what happened. By the time they reached the middle of the video, everyone had frozen in dismay. “Micheal Clark?” Mrs Miller was rooted to the spot as she stared in disbelief at the man violently assaulting Emily in the video.Everyone else’s jaws had dropped as well. Never in their dreams would they have imagined that the person who kidnapped Emily and tried to assault her would be Micheal, a respectful man from a noble family. How could this be possible? However, the video was right before their eyes. It turned out that the despicable person had been the “decent” man, Micheal, instead of H

    “I planned to finish you off in one go, but I changed my mind.” Henry approached calmly, his overwhelming presence making it hard for Michael to breathe, and Michael’s hand began to tremble uncontrollably. “Stop right there! You better stop, or I’ll fucking shoot your Michael yelled.However, Henry continued his way forward as if he hadn’t heard the other man. “You’re dead meat!” Michael gritted his teeth and aimed the gun at Henry’s head before pulling the trigger. Ear–splitting bangs rang out as the chamber was emptied of bullets. However, Henry had disappeared. Abruptly, he appeared less than two feet away in front of Michael. “You-” Startled, Michael tried to jerk backward, but Henry grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the wall with bang. Michael immediately passed out, his head bleeding. “H–Henry Now that the danger had passed, Emily’s body finally relaxed, and she fell into slumber. Henry glanced at the fallen man and pulled out his phone to call someone. 15 minut

  • I'll Have My Fill

    Henry hummed. He was about to say something else when his phone started ringing. Emily was calling him. Muffled noises could be heard as soon as he picked up. “Let me go. I want to go home.” Emily demanded weakly. “What do you mean ‘go home“? Look at how pretty Estelle Hotel is. Let’s keep drinking there.” Micheal cackled. “You can go alone. Piss off.” “Fucking slut! You better appreciate the chance I’m giving you. You don’t have a say in this. You’re drinking tonight. Get in!” As the phone fell to the floor, the cursing became softer until it completely faded away. Henry’s face darkened immediately, and the air around him became unbelievably cold. “What’s wrong, Mr. Brown?” Peter shivered. A loud slap rang out as Henry struck Peter across the face, causing the latter to fall to the floor. “You motherfucker! You better hope your son didn’t make a mistake, or I’ll destroy your entire family!” Henry opened the door and dashed out. “Huh?” Peter covered his cheek with a hand, d

  • Don't Be Rash

    “Don’t be rash, Micheal!” Peter warned gravely. “He has the Philip family to support him, and now, he has Eric Morgan‘s support as well. We’ll sink further if you do anything to him!” Alas, those words failed to reach Micheal, who has lost repeatedly to Henry recently. Today’s incident only fueled his anger, and his hatred toward Henry peaked. “Micheal, leave this matter to me. You should take a break for the next two days. Just don’t get into any trouble.” Peter instructed his son seriously, who didn’t reply as he began to plot his revenge. Soon, night fell. Inside Midnight Rose, Emily downed shot after shot in a corner. Julia sat beside her, her face full of worry. This was the first time she saw Emily like this. Emily refused to return to the company or care about what was going on, completely abandoning her strong woman character and letting herself go. Julia heard that it was because of Henry, but was it worth it? “Please stop drinking, Ms. Miller. Let’s go back. Your

  • I Won't Beg

    “The Philip family sure is bothersome. I have a feeling that our financial issues have something to do with them.” Peter pondered. “What do we do now, Dad? Should we fight to the death?” “No. We aren’t at the end of our rope yet. Let me make some calls. Peter pulled out his phone and began asking for help. The Clark family still had some friends and partners, so they’d definitely pull through as long as he managed to raise the funds. “Hey. Mr. Paul, it’s me. I’m kind of short on cash, so do you think you could help me out? I’ll pay you back with interest after the turnover.” “Hi, Mr. Andrew. This is Peter Clark. I’m calling to ask for a lavor.” “Hey, Mr. John. I need your help.” Peter made call after call to any of his friends who were well off. However, his face darkened with each call he made. As soon as they heard that he was trying to borrow money, these people who claimed to be his friends immediately changed their attitudes and came up with all sorts of excuses to refuse

  • He Got Lucky

    “That much?” Micheal’s expression drooped. “Would Morgan agree to loan us three billion in one go?” “Morgan controls one–third of all the cash flow in flaz city. What’re three billion dollars to him?” Peter took a sip of tea and said casually, “Not to mention, I even came here personally. Would he dare to say no? He should be happy that our family is cozying up to him on our own accord instead.” “That’s true.” Hearing those words, Micheal let out a sigh of relief. The Clark family did have prestige out there; Morgan had to give them some respect. As the two were speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a few people entered. The one in the lead was none other than Eric. The moment they met. Peter stood up and extended a hand, his face full of smiles. “Hey, Mr. Morgan! Long time no see. You’ve gotten much more handsome!” However, when he saw Henry behind Eric, his smile froze on his face. “Punk, what are you doing here?!”“You’re here, so why can’t I be here too?” Henry retorte

So, to hear that he’d be able to rise up again, naturally, he was elated.“Mr. Morgan, if I dare to say it, it means I can do it.” As Henry spoke, he took out a tablet and said, “This is a pill, which I created. It helps clear up circulatory pathways and heal internal injuries. Give it a try.”“Okay!” Without another word, Eric took the pill and swallowed it.As soon as the tablet entered his system, it turned into a rush of warmth that spread through his body..Instantly, he felt his mood lift, and his body felt better in a way he couldn’t explain.The pain in his lower back had also improved significantly.“Amazing This is amazing!
