It was not difficult to imagine the pain she had been through before she lost consciousness. “You’re her husband, aren’t you? What have you been up to? How could you let your wife be tortured sol terribly? That’s very irresponsible of you!” The head nurse complained, feeling sorry for Emily. “How is she?” Henry’s brows furrowed. “The patient is not in critical danger currently, but her wounds will take quite a while to heal. Her hands, especially, have multiple comminuted fractures. There is a possibility that they may never fully recover,” The head nurse cautioned him. “Who did this?” Henry’s expression was terrifyingly cold and emotionless. “How would I know? You’re her husband, and you have no idea who did it?” The head nurse scowled.Henry held his silence. Suddenly, his gaze shot over to the door. There was a suspicious person craning by the door in an attempt to peek at them. He dashed over and grabbed the person. “Hey, Henry! What are you doing? Let go of me!” Lilian c
His words and actions were impulsive and reckless. “Boom!” In a split second, the party was in shambles. One could say that the first slap was done out of impulse. A second slap was already humiliating and provoking her. But who in the right mind would want to provoke the Layrens?! “He dared to hit Ms. Layren? He must be asking for death!” “He’s out of his mind! He’s definitely gone insane!” “He struck Ms. Layren in front of such a crowd! Not even the Gods could spare him now!” Because of Henry’s actions, the whole room went into chaos. Some were shocked, not knowing how to react. Others were impressed, while the rest were in disbelief. For all their lives, they’d believed that only a person like Jessica Layren could bully others. They could never even imagine someone who would strike back! “Kill him! Kill him now!” When Jessica stood up again, she was in a frenzy. Her face contorted with terrifying rage. “Kill! Him!” The guards in the area finally returned to their sen
As he spoke, he signaled the two bodyguards behind them. “Colby, Joanna, get rid of that punk! Don’t hold back!” “Yes, Sir!” The two women immediately pulled out their swords. Two days earlier, they weren’t prepared, so they were defeated by Henry. But today, they would not let the same mistake happen again. “Mr. Martin! That bastard’s not an easy target. Aren’t you underestimating him too much by sending the two of them against him?” Jessica was suspicious. “Don’t worry, Ms.Layren. The two of them are very skilled. They were trained by my father. Defeating him is nothing for them!” Paul said confidently. To be honest, both of them were even more skilled than he was. “Alright! Then I’m counting on you to get my revenge!” Jessica said with an evil smirk. “No problem!” As soon as Paul gave a signal, the two women sprung into action, one flanking Henry on the left and the other on the right, both bearing down on him with fierce determination. “Zoom!” As the women closed in on hi
“One punch is definitely enough to kill him!” “This fellow should be proud to die in Lightning Fist’s hands!” The guests shook their heads, convinced that Henry’s fate was sealed. After all he was facing a full–blown punch from the Lightning Fist himsell. In East city, how many people would be able to stop this kind of punch? “You’re just all show!” Henry’s voice was cold and unwavering as he stood his ground. Without hesitation, he retaliated with a punch that caught Dylan off guard. “Boom!” Their fists collided with a loud bang. Henry had not moved an inch, but the ground beneath him had shattered. Dylan, on the other hand, let out a pained cry as his fist erupted into a trace of blood. He was sent flying across the room at lightning speed, landing heavily against the wall as blood spurted from his mouth. Before Dylan could even react, Henry was already in front of him, delivering another punch. His moves weren’t as flashy, but they were deadly. “Please spare me!” All th
“Sir Mike is the trusty right–hand man of the Layren family. He definitely wouldn’t let him off for beating Ms. Layren into a pulp! “Although he’s quite skilled, he only has two fists! He wouldn’t be able to take on hundreds of men no matter how skilled he is!” The crowd went wild once again as help arrived at the scene. *Sir Mike! You’re just in time! Henry not only caused trouble, but he also beat up Ms. Layren!” Lilian quickly reported the incident to him.“What? He dared to hit Ms. Layren? Which bastard did this? If you have the guts, come forward! Let’s see if I can tear you apart myself!” Mike’s gaze narrowed, his blood boiling with anger. “It was me.” Henry approached him slowly. “You–” Before Mason could strike, his expression changed completely when he saw him. “M–Mr. Brown? It’s you?!” Henry simply uttered a single word, “Scram!” “Yes Sir!” Mike nodded and stepped aside. Once again, the entire room was dead silent. ****The rain was falling even harder. Robert was
“What?! Sir Layren’s daughter?!” Everyone was stunned by this piece of information. They exchanged glances, not knowing how to reply. Especially Mrs Millers and Solomon, whose anger immediately disappeared. They would’ve been yelling for revenge if it had been an ordinary person. Yet, when they heard the name Layren, they didn’t even dare to get angry. “We had no grudges against the Layren family. How could Ms. Layren be so cruel to us?” Mrs Millers gulped. “That’s right! My sister was invited to the party. How did she cross Ms. Layren?” Solomon frowned, deep in thought. The others were uneasy as well. The Layren family was someone they would never dare to provoke. Even if they were wrongly accused, they couldn’t do anything about it. “You won’t have to do anything. In three days, I’ll let Jessica Layren apologize to you all in person.” Henry assured easily. “Hey! Do you even know what you’re saying? Do you know who Ms. Layren is? Do you think that’s something you can handle? Y
“I guess you could say that.” Henry nodded. “You bastard!” The leader was furious. He rushed towards Henry with his heavy blade and swung it using his full strength. By the agility and power of his movements, the leader was obviously a martial artist. His skills were far superior to those of a normal person. However, Henry did not dodge. He blocked the attack with his bare hands and landed a kick on his opponent’s abdomen. The leader screamed in agony as he flew out the door. “How dare you hurt our leader? You are dead meat!” The other three assassins threw Lilian aside as they turned to attack Henry simultaneously. However, before they could get close enough, Henry gave all three of them a flying kick and knocked their heads together. Without another word, they fainted on impact. “Fuck, who is this monster?” The last assassin, who was guarding the door, saw what happened to his teammates. Fearful for his life, he ran away as fast as his legs could take him. Four of his fri
“Oh, is he a martial artist with internal energy? How dare you show off your tricks in front of an expert? Get out of the way!” Caleb had a cold smile on his lips. Davis threw fist after fist without stopping, forcing the guild members to fall back. They were no match for him. “Reckless bastard!” Caleb took a deep breath and released a surge of energy in Davis’s direction. The attack sliced through the raindrops and zeroed in on him. Fortunately, Davis had a keen sense of danger. He noticed the attack coming and went into a defensive stance. “Boom!” An explosive sound was heard as Davis’s defense was shattered. He was blown backward about 30 feet away, leaving deep tracks on the ground. Davis was flung onto a wall like a ragdoll as he spat out a mouthful of blood. “Weakling.” Caleb scoffed. Caleb thought that he had finally met a worthy challenger. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t even withstand a single blow. “Y–You, who are you?” Davis furrowed his brows and stared at the tower
