“Your point exactly?” Henry shot back. “I suspect that you colluded with the Four Scoundrels to come up with a plan to get close to Shella!” Owen accused.“I can assure you it’s not like that- Sophia spoke up before being interrupted by Owen again.“Don’t be fooled Sophia! We don’t know where this guy is from or what his intentions are. Thus he must be interrogated thoroughly for your safety. Apprehend this man for me at once” At his command the group of elite guards proceeded to cock their guns. “Stop! I was the one who brought Henry here so I can guarantee that he isn’t a bad guy!” Mirable stepped forward attempting to mediate the situation. “Whether he’s a bad guy or not we’ll know once we catch him!” Owen retorted. “Hey do you still have any sense left in that brain of yours? Can’t you see that you’re being cruel by apprehending an innocent person?” Mirable was getting annoyed with Owen’s stubbornness. “Who are you to talk sense to me? Get lost!” Owen screamed before lifting
“You want us to state our case right? Fine I’ll grant you your wish” Henry said and suddenly turned to face Sophia before continuing. “May I know if the sachet in front of your chest is a gift from Owen, Miss Patel?” “I–I’m not sure. All I know is that Ava gave it to me.” Sophia said with her head lowered. “What if I told you it was from Owen?” Henry continued to probe. Ava felt that she had nothing to hide so she immediately shot back “Owen had to beg an expert to procure this sachet and he had me deliver it to Sophia afterward. It was said to aid in one’s sleep and nourish the soul so why are you finding fault in this?” “It was said to aid in one’s sleep and nourish the soul? What a load of crap!” Henry snickered before Snatching the sachet off her chest and throwing it into a glass of wine. “Gurgle gurgle.” The sound of bubbles could be heard as the sachet suddenly started expanding in size as if hinting that there was something inside. Immediately after a thin red–colored
“What do you know? What I have is true love for Sophia, a love that can’t be compared with anyone else!” Owen retorted angrily. “True love? If it really was true love as you proclaimed, why'd you have to kidnap Miss Patel in the first place?” Henry snorted. “What the fuck are you talking about kid?” Owen scowled. “Miss Patel had been attacked twice and your timing was right on the dot which meant that someone secretly tipped you off. And as for the Serpent Love Charm and the Spider Venom you put inside the Four Scoundrel’s bodies they both came from the same person. So I’ve concluded that you have close ties to the Four Scoundrels” Henry explained as a matter of factly. “What a load of bullshit!” Owen yelled in response. “If you really did nothing wrong as you claimed then would there still be any need to kill the man off just now? Henry threw the question back. “I was just worried about Sophia’s safety which is why I struck him with my full power!” Owen explained stubbornly. “
“What makes you so sure that I don’t dare to kill you?” Henry asked amused. “Do you think so? If you do so much as touch a single hair on my head I’ll have your whole bloodline wiped out! Come on then kill me! Aren’t you the one who kept saying they were so powerful? Then kill me if you have the balls! I want to see if you have the balls to-!” Owen shouted profusely, taking it to the extreme until he was rudely interrupted by a violent smack by Henry which decimated his neck. He died instantly! “Why don’t you get a better brain in your next life?” Henry spat as he looked at Owen’s corpse. And with one swift motion he threw his dead body to the side with one hand as if it were trash. Owen’s body landed with a “thump” near Ava and the other’s feet. Owen’s face was riddled with fear and disbelief. Even up to his death he didn’t understand why Henry dared to make a move on him. Everyone gasped and petrified as they stared at the corpse beneath their feet. Every single one of them w
“Spit it out! What the hell is going on?” Albert snapped confused."Sir! Something terrible has happened! M–Mister Owen has been killed!” The guard wailed as he fell to his knees.“What?! What the hell are you talking about? My son seemed fine not long ago so how is he dead now?” Albert shrieked and shot out of his chair his face full of horror. “But it’s true Mister Owen had his neck broken and his corpse is outside as we speak!” The guard cried. “That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Albert spat and frantically shook his head in utter disbelief. However when they carried Owen’s corpse into the room Albert felt as if he’d been struck by lightning and his face turned pale as a sheet. “Who?! Who the hell did this?!” Albert yelled frantically after reeling from his shock. His eyes turned bloodshot and he started acting like a rabid beast. Such senseless violence! Such madness! “I–it was done by a guy called Henry Brown.” The guard managed to sputter out.“Henry Brown you fu
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!”
