2023-12-29 07:01:51But as soon as he grasped the old man's soul by the arm, he became aware that the man was being drawn away by an unseen force.
"You can't!"Henry drew the old Papa away. He had a gut feeling that even God would fail to save the man if he failed to retrieve his soul!The ambulance also showed up at the site at this point. The old man received rapid initial diagnosis and treatment from the physician and nurses.The doctor paused his work after a while, placed the hearing aid away, and gave the granddaughter a regretful look."I'm sorry, Miss. He can't survive."The granddaughter fell onto her Papa, sobbing uncontrollably."No! It can't be like this! You must have a way!"The physician was accustomed to this type of conduct. With a sorry shake of his head, he hurried on to the next patient.The granddaughter called out to the throng while raising her head in desperation."Preserve him! Is there anyone who can help my grandfather?""Whoever can save my father, I'll give them half of the Benjamin's Group shares! On behalf of Sophia Benjamin, I swear!""Please, I implore you, save my grandfather!"Emily could not help but drop a secret tear as she heard Sophia Benjamin's cries.While the surrounding individuals were grieving, Sophia's remarks also caught them off guard.She's actually Sophia Benjamin?She was the granddaughter to Benjamin Baret, the man with a hundreds of billions dollar net worth who founded the Benjamin's Group!They would undoubtedly be willing to go across ranks if they could assist her in curing Benjamin and gain her favor.Regretfully, the man had already received the death penalty from the doctor.It was difficult to heal a old fellow who had been given the death penalty by the doctor, no matter how much they wanted to win this over."Hold on!"Sophia Benjamin was about to give up when Emily heard a familiar voice."There's still hope for your grandfather!"Henry crouched down in front of the man and put his hand on his chest after feeling the old man spirit emerge from the throng.[Status: Internal bleeding, few fractured ribs, intense internal liver damage, detached soul...][Reason: Severe physical injury]Benjamin Baret was not healed by him since he lacked sufficient heavenly power!Henry was anxious because he did not think that his heavenly strength would be insufficient at this crucial moment and that he would not be able to save Benjamin Baret.But allowing Benjamin Baret's soul to return to his body was the first step toward saving him."Return now!"With all his strength, Henry slapped Liam's soul into his body.Liam felt a shiver run through his body, as though his soul and body were beginning to reunite."Henry! You're wasting your time?" Emily scoffed.When Emily witnessed Henry thrashing Benjamin Baret's body, she yelled at him with a furious expression."Can't you see that you have caused enough trouble for today?"Emily was overwhelmed with disgust at Henry at that very moment.Had he not toppled the garbage can and subsequently the pole, none of these mishaps would have occurred!Sadly, Benjamin Baret's would never lose his one and only life!Emily attempted to push Henry away with her hand, but he remained stationary."You disgusting man, why are you in this place? the old man vital indicators are zero!""You are a useless piece of garbage! Do you want to make things worse for him now that the doctor has already given him the death penalty?""What a man without morality! He is a monster in human flesh!"With disgusted and contemptuous expressions on their faces, the spectators were all accusing Henry.Sophia Benjamin had gone insane at this point as well, yelling angrily, "Don't touch my grandfather!"Sophia Benjamin slapped Henry with a growl on her lips.A few palm prints covered Henry's face for a minute.But he paid no attention to what the other people thought, nor did he give a damn about the fingerprints left on his face.He kept applying pressure to Liam's head with both hands, preventing Benjamin Baret's spirit from leaving his body."Return now!""Pfft!"Liam felt a sudden movement in his chest and spat out a large amount of blood."Go quickly!"Henry yelled nervously and abruptly raised his head, "He requires immediate treatment!"Everyone was astonished by this scene.The spectators were astounded as the doctor, who was staring at Henry in a stupor.Someone who was obviously dead has indeed returned to life?Benjamin was placed in the ambulance by the doctor and nurses after they had been stunned for some time.Sophia Benjamin sobbed uncontrollably as she grasped Henry's hand after realizing what had happened."Sir, I apologize for misinterpreting you just now! I'm grateful that you saved my grandfather!""Please tell me your name. I, Sophia Benjamin, promise to return the favor when I can!"Sophia praised Henry several more times while wearing an ecstatic look before hastily entering the ambulance after Henry called his name.Was something miraculous happening here?Emily was astonished at this point.She never would have guessed that Henry, who was normally the one to do nothing, would really turn a dead person around!Henry appeared to have vanished from her sight.Just then, Henry was approached by the police who had just wrapped up their investigation at the accident scene.Emily's expression was a touch unpleasant as she assumed the cops were there to investigate Henry's guilt.She promptly admitted to the authorities that she was equally to blame for the tragedy and that she was prepared to take the loss of every victim in an effort to lessen Henry's accountability.But when she was done talking, the police gave her a strange look and explained that the old pole had collapsed, which had nothing to do with Henry at all, but that the trash can Henry had kicked up had delayed the pole's fall, alerted the people underneath it in time, and given them more time to get away.Ultimately, the police played Emily the surveillance tape and complemented Henry on his bravery and foresight in the face of peril.Emily was taken aback when she realized the cause and consequence.She had no idea that she owed Henry a gratitude note in addition to her unfair accusation of him!By now, she would have been a cold corpse if Henry hadn't acted quickly.

“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.

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.

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.

“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.

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

In the past six months, the main reason he hadn’t slept with his wife was because he couldn’t get it up.However, because of his dignity as a man, he’d always kept it a secret. 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!
