“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
In addition, he fortified his body to be as impenetrable as steel. Even among the high–level martial artists, he was considered one of the best. Defeating a lower–level martial artist like Henry would be a walk in the park! “Mr. Davis, don’t worry. I can deal with this,” Henry reassured him. “Mr. Brown, you are biting off more than you can chew! You are still young and trainable. If you survive, there is still hope for you to defeat him one day! However, the most important thing right now is to stay alive!” Davis was getting anxious.Henry couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Were his words that unbelievable? He didn’t even care if he went up against a godlike opponent. Defeating a high–level martial artist was nothing.“Shut your yapping! Today, both of you will die here!” Caleb snapped his fingers. At his signal, his disciples swarmed all at once toward Henry. “Mr. Brown, run! I’ll hold them back!” Davis gritted his teeth and rushed into the middle of the crowd. He had to buy mor
“I received news that the Layrens were going to boycott us, the Millers family! Half of the businesses in East city have us blacklisted and are unwilling to engage with our company!” “What? Boycott us? Solomon, are you joking? How could this be?” Millers was taken aback at the shocking news. She could not believe that was happening. “Why would I joke about this?” Solomon pulled a long face. “Millers Group’s stock prices have been plummeting since this morning. If this continues, we will be bankrupt in three days!” When Solomon announced this, the room erupted into chaos. “How could this happen? Why would Mr. Layren boycott us?” “That’s right, we have nothing against the Layrens. There’s no reason for him to do this!” Everyone was at a loss about this situation. Robert Layren was one of the Mighty Three! With his connections and influence, it would be as easy as pie to destroy the Millers family! “My son, tell me exactly what happened! Did we do anything to offend Mr. Layren?”
“Sir Layren, how is it? What did Mia say?” Jimmy asked out of curiosity. “She told me to get lost!” Robert answered. “What?” Jimmy was speechless at her reply. “This woman must be blindly in love with that punk! What foolishness to forsake such a lucrative deal for a man!” Robert gritted his teeth in anger. “Women tend to be emotional. She will regret it once our pill takes the world by storm!” Jimmy chimed in. Robert didn’t reply, as he had too many things on his mind. These few days, nothing seemed to be going right for him. “Sir Layren, terrible news!” At this moment, a doctor ran into the room hurriedly. “Ms. Layren’s condition has suddenly taken a turn for the worse!” “What do you mean? She’s in danger? How could this have happened? Wasn’t she fine yesterday?” Robert Jumped up from his chair. He grabbed the doctor by the collar and roared. “Ms. Layren is suffering from a strange condition that can’t be cured medically. Y–You would understand once you see it for yoursel
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
