His suggestion was reasonable, but the prospect of giving up the reputation of the Layrens to lower themselves to offer an apology to others was an unbearably uncomfortable thought to him.

“Dad, it hurts It’s so painful! Save me! Jessica Layren moaned profusely as she laid in bed.

Looking at his daughter’s pain–stricken face, Robert took a deep breath and finally decided to settle on a compromise.

He dialed Henry’s number once again and spat into the phone. “I’ll adhere to your terms, kid, but you’d better not play tricks with me!”

“The apology has to be sincere. If you insist on acting like this, then we have nothing else to talk about,” Henry said indifferently.

“How dare you-“Robert stopped as the corner of his eye began to twitch.

“Fine, you win! I’ll send someone over today at noon to give an apology in person!” He roared while forcefully holding back his anger.

“I’ll be waiting.” Henry replied.

During noontime, inside a VIP ward in East city Hospital, Emily had woken up

    They thought it was already bad that the whole family got banned, but they never expected the Layrens to be this cruel.They were already knocking at their doors. Were they trying to drive them into a corner? “It’s over, it’s over! We’re dead meat this time!” “How could this happen? Why can’t the Layrens give us a break for once?” The crowd panicked and started jumping to their feet anxiously. “It’s all because of that damn bastard! It’s all his fault!” “That’s right! The Layrens must have come for Henry, so let’s hand him over and we’ll be all right!” Everyone in the crowd immediately turned their gazes to Henry, causing a million laser–like glares to land on him at the same time. In their opinion, if they could sacrifice Henry to save themselves, that would be the best course of action. Just as the crowd was still in an uproar, a group of people from the Layren family started boldly entering the venue. The leader of the procession was Jessica, who was sitting in a wheelchai

    “Our sincere apologies, Ms. Millers!” The representatives from the Layren family shouted. All of them kneeled in unison afterward, without much thought for their reputation. Such a turn of events dumbfounded the Millers yet again. So, it was true! The Layrens were apologizing to them! But the question now was, why? “W–why are you all? What is going on, Mr. Jimmy?” Emily stuttered while lying on her hospital bed. She was so antsy about the situation that she immediately got out of bed. Weren’t they here for revenge? Why were they kneeling toward her? “The Layrens aren’t unreasonable people. We admit our mistakes when we’ve done wrong, so we hope that you can forgive us for our trespasses, Ms. Millers, Jimmy replied with his head lowered. “What are you talking about, Mr. Jimmy? Please get up quickly! I’m afraid there has been a misunderstanding. We’d already be glad if the matter was dropped entirely. What other reason do we have to accuse the Layren family of?” Mrs Millers apolo

    When Jessica and her entourage left the scene, the Millers still felt like they were in a daze. They were still reeling at the fact that the high and mighty young lady of the Layren family had not only pardoned their wrongdoings but was also the first to humble herself and apologize to them in person after getting her ass whooped. It was truly unfathomable! “What’s wrong with the Layrens today? Who knew that they could even be this humble?” “I know, right? If I hadn’t pinched mysell, I would have thought I was dreaming!” “Could it be that Ms. Layren genuinely realized her mistakes, and that’s why she came over to apologize in person?” “Nonsense! You overestimate how righteous the Layren family can be!” The Millers erupted into a flurry of discussion, and it seemed like it wasn’t about to die down soon. “This can’t be Henry’s doing, right?” Lilian asked herself with a suspicious look; she felt uneasy on the inside. Ever since last night’s beating session, Henry had displayed a

    “Is it so hard for you just to thank someone, Henry? If it weren’t for Michael, you might have been killed by now!” Emily suddenly piped up. To her, Henry was still being ignorant until the bitter end. Compared to Michael saving his life, what was a mere thank you? “I would have if he had actually helped me. But he didn’t. In fact, not only did he not help me, he was the one who started this whole fiasco in the first place!” Henry replied flatly. “What do you mean?” Emily frowned. “I ran a background check and found out that Michael and Jessica are lovers. Jessica deliberately targeted you out of jealousy, thinking that you and he had some hanky panky going on behind the scenes. So, that was what led to the assault! In a nutshell, he’s the true culprit all along!” Henry declared firmly. “Bullshit! Henry! Not to insult you or anything, but Michael is an upright guy. He’s not as bad as you say he is!” Mrs Millers cursed and jumped to her feet without waiting for Michael to respond.

    “You want me to apologize to you? What makes you think that you’re worthy of it?” Henry sneered. “You’re not allowed to leave if you don’t apologize to me today!” Micheal growled as he used his body to block the doorway, his gaze menacing. He had practiced martial arts for a few years, so he thought it would be a breeze to put an average man like him in his place. “Is that so? Then, I’d like to see if you can actually block my path. Henry snorted coldly before pushing past Micheal and walking out of the door. “Thinking of leaving? I’d like to see you try!” Micheal shouted in rage as he grabbed Henry’s shoulder with one hand and shoved him hard. He thought that he could teach him a lesson by doing that. “You dare lay a finger on me?” Henry said coldly as he turned around. He then proceeded to give Mall a heavy slap on his face, the sheer force of which sent Mali llying into the air. Two teeth could even be seen flying out of his mouth. “Y–you actually dare to hit someone at t

    The person who had saved the Millers and coerced the Layrens to give a public apology was Henry? The trash that they’d scoffed at and despised? H–how was this possible! “Y–you’ve got to be joking, right, Mr. Jimmy? Are you telling us that Henry was the one who saved us?” Mrs Millers asked with widened eyes, she found this fact difficult to accept. “Who else do you think it was?” Mr. Jimmy asked seriously. “No, that’s impossible! Wasn’t Micheal the one who helped us? How was it that trash Henry instead?” Solomon shouted in alarm and shook his head so vigorously it looked like a rattling drum. “Micheal Clark? He’s nothing more than a washed–up member of some family, so how capable can the man be? Obviously, not enough for the Layrens to lower their heads.” Mr. Jimmy scoffed before shooting Micheal with a look of disdain. Hearing that, every head in the crowd turned to look at Micheal simultaneously. For a moment, Micheal’s cheeks turned bright red, and the atmosphere became extrem

    “Honey, even if we’ve misunderstood Henry, so what? The Matter still stands that he’s the one who’s at fault here. He was just making up for his mistakes. We don’t owe him anything!” Mrs Millers continued. “I’m tired, Mom. I just want to rest now. Please go outside,” Emily requested again. “But honey…” Mrs Millers whined. “Just leave me alone!” Emily yelled sternly. Seeing the scowl on her face, Mrs Millers said nothing more and proceeded to usher everyone out of the room. “Who would’ve thought that the biggest contributor to the Matter would be Henry, while the person who surprised us the most was Mr. Clark.” "Fucking bigshots! To think we let him scare us like that. It’s already a good thing that we didn’t disturb him for anything!”“And as for Micheal. I suspect that he’s so blinded by love for Emily that, to win her over, he resorted to trickery and lies,” Mrs Millers explained. “If you ask me, a man like this who risked his life for love and even put his reputation on the

    Back at the small Medical Center where Henry normally practices his skills, he downed glass after glass of wine without stopping trying to numb himself with alcohol. Although he was expressionless inwardly he couldn’t help feeling frustrated. Maybe he should finally let go of his past relationship and move on. “Doctor! Doctor!” Just as Henry felt a little tipsy a hurried knock was heard at the door. When he opened the doors two beautiful young women were standing outside. One of them was dressed completely in white and looked like an angel from heaven. The aura she gave off was pure and innocent.The other woman was fully dressed in a black bodysuit that showed off her curves. She had prominent features that made her appear tough and masculine. However she was bleeding profusely from the injury on her abdomen. Her face was drawn and pale from excessive blood loss. “Excuse me is the doctor in? My friend is severely injured and needs immediate treatment!” The woman in white said

    “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

    “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

    “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

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!
