At Halig Haven. “Father! Please help Henry; otherwise he’ll die!” Sophia begged on her knees. “Hmph! You have the audacity to request assistance for him?! He is responsible for Owen’s death! That is the gravest of offenses! The Reed army has already assembled all of East city’s finest warriors! No one can save him now!” Martin spoke with a frigid tone. “Father! Henry has rescued me on numerous occasions. Please help him for my sake!” Sophia pleaded tears streaming down her face. Ever since she returned to Halig Haven she hadn’t stopped begging his father for his help. That was because only her father could go against the Reed army. “It is exactly because he’s saved you that I refrained from taking his life!” Martin retorted coldly. “Father! I will do as long as you save Henry!” Sophia begged on all fours. After a while, her knees started to bruise. “You fool! You have no idea what you’re doing!” Martin slammed the table as he stood up. “Do you want me to cross the Reed family
One, two, three- Ten, twenty, thirty… In just two minutes, more than half of the guards from the Reed family had fallen. Till that moment, no one could match Henry’s level of combat. The whole scene was a massacre! Henry alone was slaughtering the bunch of them. “H–he’s on another level!” Ten minutes later. The entire Reed members was filled with pained groans. Henry stood amidst the crowd, emanating a presence akin to that of a god or demon.His presence was awe- inspiring, commanding, and intimidating. A few people in the audience were stunned. They stared with widened eyes as if they saw a ghost. Everyone was taken aback by Henry’s strength. Single–handedly, he had managed to sweep through the entire Reed members! It should be noted that these warriors were the elite of the martial arts, capable of facing ten opponents alone. Yet, in the span of a few minutes, all of them were taken down. This was too absurd! “Fuck! He’s that strong? He’s on an entirely different level!
“The disciples of the Reed family are well into the thousands, spread throughout the seventeen provinces of East city! Will you be able to defeat ten, a hundred, or even thousands of them? If you dare to kill me today, you will become the public enemy of the entire Reed family. By then, you will face countless warriors‘ relentless pursuit, day and night! You should weigh the consequences yoursell!” After hearing these words, Sebastian and the others, who were initially shocked and confused, immediately came back to their senses. “That’s right, so what if Henry is so powerful? He was still only a human being who had weaknesses and flaws. The Reed family was a wealthy and powerful family in the capital with tons of skilled warriors, some even stronger than Albert himself. Once these strong warriors learn of the news and gather up, it would be easy to crush him.” The crowd thought. “A person who acts recklessly will always remain so, and can never attain the heights of true strength!”
When Henry returned to the Medical Center, everything that had been smashed and damaged had been cleaned up. The whole clinic was like new again. Emily was sleeping on the table, leaning on it with a slightly haggard look on her beautiful face and eyebrows slightly furrowed. Looking at her. Henry felt a complicated mix of emotions and couldn’t help but feel grateful. After all, she had saved Jonathan’s life. He took off his coat and draped it over Emily. “Mmm?” Emily trembled all over and instantly woke up. “You’re back? Are you hurt?” “I’m fine, thank you for today,” Henry said politely. “Don’t mention it; it’s only right for me to take care of Mr. Jones when he’s injured,” Emily said, pursing her lips. “Have you eaten? Are you hungry?” “A little.” “You want your usual, spaghetti bolognese?” “Mmm, thank you.” “Wait a moment.” Without much ado, Henry walked into the kitchen and began to skillfully cook the dish. In the three years of their marriage, whenever Emily came b
Micheal followed her gaze and saw Henry’s face, feeling a sense of irritation as he remembered their encounter a few days ago. Since they had bumped into Henry today, they needed to humiliate him somehow. “Let’s have some fun with him.” Micheal said coldly to Lilian, then walked towards Henry. “Well, well, well, if it isn’t Henry! Are you also trying to be a distributor for Philip?” “Henry? He’s nothing but a piece of trash! Why would the Philip family work with someone like him without any qualifications?” Lilian added sarcastically. “I don’t have the qualifications? Do you have the qualifications to work with the Philip family then?” Henry sneered. “Why wouldn’t we? The manager here, Dylan, is like a brother to me. As long as I say the word, it will be easy to get the distributorship!” Lilian replied arrogantly. Henry shook his head and replied, “Really? I don’t think that would be the case. I believe the Philip family won’t give you the distributorship.” “What? You say they
“It’s a great deal, no doubt! I’ll take however much of the stock you have, Mr. Dylan!” Micheal beamed. It was great to be able to purchase the drug at a fifth of the original price. Micheal was not one to let such a good offer pass him by. As for the quality of the products, he couldn’t care less about that. All he cared about was that he’d make money from them. Henry, who was hearing all they were discussing, walked up to Dylan and slapped him.“You! How dare you hit me?” Mr. Dylan held his face, which still burned from the smack. A mix of anger and shock was evident on his face. With the Philips behind him, people fought to curry favor with him everywhere he went. When has anyone ever had the ball to hit him? “So what if I smacked you? As an employee, you’re supposed to uphold the standards of the company. but look at what you’re doing! You steal from the company and mix substandard products with quality products. I think you deserve every bit of that smack!” As Henry spoke, he
The crowd turned to the source of the voice to see an elegant woman dressed in red entering and approaching them. It was Mia Philip! “Ms. Philip?” Donald felt a premonition of oncoming trouble. He immediately forced a smile and went up to her. “Why have you come?” “I’m here to join in the fun! Am I not welcome here, respected Mr. Cole?” Mia put extra emphasis on how she addressed Mr. Cole. “Ms. Philip, that was just a joke. Don’t take it to heart,” Donald explained awkwardly. How did he know that she would appear at such terrible timing? “A joke? It didn’t sound like one to me. You sounded so sure of yourself back there,” Mia said, unperturbed. “Well— Donald could not find the words to excuse himself for what he said. “Forget it; I’ll let that go. Now tell me, what’s going on here?” Mia asked calmly. “Ms. Philip, here’s what happened.” Mr. Dylan was just about to explain when he was cut off by a glare from Mia. “Are you in a position to speak now?” “Know your place!” Donald tu
“Mr. Brown, I’m terribly sorry! I was rude and ignorant, please, have mercy on us and let us go!” Donald saw how Mia was ignoring them, so he quickly changed his target and turned to beg Henry. “What?” Lilian and Micheal watched the proceedings with their mouths agape. The vice president of Philip Pharmaceuticals was on his knees, begging for forgiveness from a worthless piece of trash? How humiliating! “It’s too late to repent now! Take them away!” Mia signaled to her guards. They were both quickly dragged away. Their cries and shouts for forgiveness fell on deaf ears. Mia’s swift and decisive course of action caused the crowd to look at her in awe. She was impressive and domineering, truly deserving of her title of the Steel Lady. “Henry, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m taking this opportunity to rid the company of anyone else bearing ill intentions. I don’t want an insignificant employee of the company to ruin our reputation.” Mia gave Henry a heads–up and proceeded to leave wi
