“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
“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
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
Henry Brown sat on the hospital's bed, anxiously going through the phone numbers.He kept thinking back to what the doctor had said."Mr. Brown, I'm sorry to tell you that your mother is in the final stage of cancer. The cost of chemotherapy is about 50,000 dollars. You can go and pay the fee, and we can arrange the treatment here."Eighty thousand dollars? How did he figure out such a large charge?His father had vanished when he was five years old, leaving behind a massive debt. Nobody was aware of his whereabouts.The mother and kid had been living on the streets for years after their creditors had stolen their residence. His mother had never married again because she feared he would be mistreated.He had intended to rely solely on himself to work hard and provide his mother with a secure and contented life after graduating.But years of overwork led to cancer, which sent his mother into the hospital.He had gone to every lending company in order to address his mother's ailment. Bu
His forehead was marked by a mark that looked like a serpent coiling around a scepter as a strong force accumulated there.For a brief moment, something changed inside him. He was still breathing. He was granted a second chance. Henry later found himself resting on the beach when he opened his eyes once more."Oh my God, what actually happened? I'm supposed to be dead. Is this actually real?" he felt the mark on his head.He then turned his gaze to his chest.Even though his body had healed and there was no visible scar, his clothing was still torn.And he could definitely feel the residual holy energy in his body. The overwhelming sensation was beyond words.It was too late to worry too much. He raced to the hospital because his mother was still there.He appeared to be a ghost to onlookers at this point. He ran like he was about to loose something precious. "Oh my God, what kind of terrifying thing is this? He looks like a mad man?" Some of the onlookers saidHenry was blind to th
"Mom!" Henry said, shoving the strong man aside and grabbing his mom."Today, I'm going to disgraced you and make you kneel in front of the hospital!" The shark loan members angrily exclaimed."Then let's see whose fist is harder."Henry would never have lowered his head or compromised his dignity for the benefit of a nasty person if he hadn't been endowed with heavenly power."Who dares to put up a fight with the Shark loan members? Do you want to die?"At this point, the head of the shark loan owner, Lucas, stepped out of a car wearing sunglasses. Rebecca was there, too.Has she found another rich man quickly and dumped Jacob? such a shameful whore.It appears that the Wayne family were the owners of the shark loan business where Henry came to borrow money from. Henry never knew that the Lucas family owned the business neither was he aware that the head of the shark loan was Jacob.Lucas had begged his father for the opportunity to run the business so he'll be able to use it and sho
"We need to find a new apartment. Our former one is no longer save..." Henry told his mother when they arrived home.Josephine wanted to turn down the idea but after seeing what happened earlier, it was best they packed out of their current apartment."They'll continue to hunt us. It's no use running away." Josephine said.Holding his mother's hand, Henry careful explained, "I'll find a way to pay them back. but first, I need to ensure you're save. This people are dangerous."Nodding, the both of them spend their time packing their precious belongings. After they were done, Henry flagged down a taxi and helped put their small luggages into the car."Take us to south town,"Henry told the driver their address and the car drove off.*******"Henry, you shouldn't have been so impulsive just now..."As Josephine spoke, she glanced worriedly at Henry in the car.Henry cut her off before she could say anything more, assuring her, "Mom, don't worry. It'll be fine."Josephine could not calm he
After she was done talking, she turned towards Henry "Come with me after you've cleaned things up. I have something to tell you." She then went back to the car.Henry said goodbye to his mother and got into the car after packing the belongings.Emily buckled up her seat belt and turned on the car while they speedily drove off.Finally, the both of them arrived at a mall entryway. Henry walked behind Emily as she led the way.Gazing sideways, Emily's hips wavered with each step. It was quite alluring. After seeing it, Henry's mouth felt parched. Suddenly he was bumped from behind by someone, and he threw himself over Emily, giving her an unconscious hug. He put his hands on her chest.Simultaneously, some information concerning Emily emerged in Henry's consciousness.[Status: She has an upcoming sickness...][Cause: She was cursed]While Henry was trying unconsciously to take the curse off of Emily's body, she violently shoved him away, "You pervert, what are you doing?" She warned him
