"Hey! When are you going to pay me back? I don't think it will be that difficult for you to pay me back since you are able to afford the VIP ward!" Jack threatened Mr Martin. "I borrowed 200 thousand dollars from you last time. And I have already paid back 250 thousand!" Mr Martin tried to explain. However, Jack did not care about his explanation. He knew that the VIP ward cost more than ten thousand dollars a day, which meant that Mr Martin must have a lot of money. Moreover, since his wife seemed to be in a coma, he felt like it was the right chance to blackmail him. "You need to pay me back 500 thousand with interest, and you have only paid half of it! If you don't come up with the money, I am going to pull out your wife's oxygen supply and let her die!" Jack roared. Mr Martin's face paled when he heard those words. He had no choice but to ask for Henry's help. Actually, Henry had wanted to help Mr Martin pay off the usury. But after realizing that the man was blackmailing h
Zayn dragged Jack, who was talking nonsense.And every time one of his fingers was cut, Jack would feel a sharp pain as though his spine was being shaken by someone.Being a truly cruel man, Zayn also made Jack swallow all the fingers after he cut them off his hand.Since Jack, an amateur thug, was able to get in and out of the hospital easily, Henry felt like the hospital security was not good enough.He decided to open a security companion to protect his friends.The next morning, at Stanley University"I've completed the enrollment procedure for you. Here is your phone. You can use it to contact me," Henry said with a smile as he handed the phone to Sarah."I will protect you at all costs, even if I have to die for it!" Sarah promised, taking the phone from his hand with a grateful expression."Go ahead. The class is about to start"Henry said, waving to her.Sarah then walked to her class excitedly. She had dropped out of school in the middle of the semester, so she needed to lear
In the woods behind the school toilet, three boys with strange hairstyles blocked Sarah and another girl in a corner.The girl was Adora Evans, Sarah's classmate.Adora's clothes were disheveled, and her skin was exposed.There were palm prints on her swollen cheeks, and the corners of her eyes and mouth were bruised. It was obvious that someone had punched her.Although Sarah didn't dare to fight them, she was still capable enough to protect herself.Her hands were also bruised, though."If you're not going to satisfy us, then... We'll strip you naked, click pictures of you, and post them online! I am sure that will make you famous overnight!"The leader of the boys was a guy who smoked on the school grounds.He was Mike Logan, a boy who liked to bully girls who did not come from powerful families.Fearing him, such girls would always obey him.Adora was almost raped by those men, and she curled up in a corner, shaking in fear.If it hadn't been for Sarah, she would have been ruined
Outside the school, there was a bar called Golden Bar. The owner of Golden Bar was Caleb. He was a short and bearded man with no imposing manners at all. He was not as powerful as those gang leaders, but he also made a name for himself. "Caleb, I want to make a toast to you." Mike's one eye was bandaged. He walked to the table and poured a glass of wine for Caleb. Then, he stood behind Caleb, hunched over, and started massaging Caleb's shoulders. It made Caleb feel comfortable, and he immediately understood that Mike needed something from him. "What's the matter? Tell me." Caleb took a sip of wine, gargled it in his mouth, and spat it out. "As expected of you, Caleb. You are so clever. You immediately understand what I mean," Mike flattered Caleb. "Here is the thing. I had a conflict with a bad boy at school today. Look, he hurt my eye. I need your help to take revenge and vent my anger. Ask our men to beat him up for me." Actually, it was Sarah who hurt Mike. But Mike told Ca
Zayn was in a suit, holding a cigarette in his hand, and looking fierce.He looked like a ruthless thug in a suit."Hey guys, just stay here, for my sake, okay?" Zayn said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth.All the hooligans before him were trembling with fear.After all, the man before them was Zayn, the leader of the Great Clover.And they were just regular street thugs who were not a part of any gang. Blackmailing was their way of life.They were no match for such powerful gangsters.Zayn, on the other hand, was the leader of one of the most infamous gangs of the underworld.Although Zayn was standing still, his aura made those thugs tremble in fear."M.... Mr. Dalton." Caleb gulped to wet his parched throat, which was burning.He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he could not even speak properly. He broke into a cold sweat.Looking back, he saw dozens of black commercial vehicles, led by a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a car that cost millions of dollars.The
"Our enemies are other powerful gangs. Bullying innocent people is both childish and shameless," Henry shouted.Many of the subordinates nodded.They thought that Henry was right. If they joined the other gangs in bullying ordinary people, they were no different from street hooligans.They also had their principles and bottom lines. They should now what they could and couldn't do.They should fight against powerful gangs, not bully innocent people."I don't care whether you want to merge the two gangs or not. The people in the underground are all yours. You can command them by yourselves," Henry said, putting down two bank cards on the table.The two cards were accurately thrown in front of Brad and Zayn respectively."Each card has one hundred million dollars in it. You choose fifty people and buy a building near Stanley University and Honor Infirmary. Then, we will set up a security company to take charge of the surrounding environment and check and balance other gangs."Upon hearin
At five o'clock in the afternoon outside Stanley University, Henry stepped out of Zayn's vehicle and waited for Isabella.Henry granted Zoey and Sarah half a day off because of the appointment with Isabella.Henry had no idea where the two of them had been since this afternoon.Isabella trotted from the library to the school gate and spotted Henry waiting for her.With heavy breaths, she approached Henry."Forgive me for being late!" Isabella's cheeks were flushed, and she was sweating gently.It was apparent that she had rushed there.Henry took a close look at Isabella. She was dressed differently than she had been in the morning.Isabella wore white satin clothing with flowery sleeves. It looked great with her navy blue pants.Her curvy neck was lovely and gleaming. The dim light of the setting sun accentuated her alluring collarbones.She seemed pure and attractive, with an exceptional disposition."It's fine. You look stunning today." Henry was surprised."Eh? Really?" Isabella c
After working in the kitchen for an hour, Isabella finally brought the dishes she had cooked to the table. She made one vegetable dish, one meat dish, a bowl of soup, and rice. Isabella and Henry sat opposite each other. The rosy sunset that could be seen through the window made the surrounding atmosphere a little romantic. At the moment, they were a picture of a happy couple living a simple life. "Try this one" Isabella said confidently, pushing the only meat dish on the table towards Henry. Henry picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth along with the rice. "Delicious!" Henry praised. Thinking about his daily life recently, he sighed. "I have been very busy these days, and I eat out most of the time. I'm so glad to finally have home-cooked food for dinner. It's so delicious." "For real?" "Yes, it's really delicious." Henry nodded vigorously. Then he put on a regretful look. "Alas, you will definitely become a good wife in the future. I wonder who will be the
When Isabella left the office, the strange feeling of people looking at her disappeared at once.To calm herself down, she took a deep breath.Wondering who came to her, she glanced around until she noticed the person she'd been missing so much."Henry!" Isabella exclaimed with glee. Her eyes smiling along with her lipsShe was so excited to see him. Then, she looked around to make sure that there was nobody else around.Fortunately, they were alone here. Otherwise, she would feel embarrassed.Isabella walked up to Henry and asked, "which department are you in? Do you mind if I stop by your office during break times?"She was kind of timid, and Henry was the only one she knew in the company.In her opinion, it was more comfortable and safer to stay with an acquaintance.After pondering for a moment, Henry replied. "I'm the chairman's assistant."Isabella's eyes lit up and widened in adoration. "You really are the top student of our class! You're incredible Henry!""Sheesh! It may soun
Jason wiped the bead of sweat from his forehead and hurried back to the meeting room.He knocked on the door, entered the room, and sat back on his seat.Many of the executives have left by now. It seemed that Henry has assigned them to follow up on some task."I've already told you all the seat. Do you have any other suggestions?" The school's prototype design appeared on the screen behind Henry.Jason was surprised that they managed to agree upon so many things within the ten minutes he was downstairs.Henry was most thoughtful than most people, not to mention he was quite young.By now, the others had left."Mr Anderson, I've arranged a job for Miss Issac. I'm sorry for the mistake I've made sir. It's my fault." Jason remarked sincerely."Actually, it's not your fault. I didn't get the chance to explain the situation to you. Fortunately, your men remind us about it." Henry replied with a smile. He already felt like he lucked out this time. Otherwise, Isabella would have been let do
At the other end of the phone there was a newbie in the personnel department, her voice clear and confident."Hello, Mr Clark. The receptionist just told us that a girl named Isabella Isaac is here for an internship. We don't have any information about her. How should we deal with this?"The report irked Jason. "Why do you have to ask me such a stupid question? I'm in a meeting now. If she's not in the system, then she's not our company intern. Just let her go!" He barked. He hung up the call and went back to the meeting roomWith an apologetic smile, Jason said to Henry, "Mr Anderson, I'm sorry. One of my subordinate called me. I told them I was in a meeting, but they still asked me questions that didn't matter."Henry asked casually, "What happened?'Jason relayed to him what his staff's concern was. "Besides, we are not recruiting interns recently. Maybe someone gave her the false information!" Jason exclaimed.On the other hand, Henry didn't think it was that simple. Ordinary peop
Henry opened the car door and stepped out. He couldn't help feeling nervous since it was his first time meeting an official. The solemnity of the place failed to put him at ease.A woman came by the door, wearing a black uniform, accentuating her captivating beauty.She exuded elegance. He'd hair pulled up high, away from her face, looked exquisite.Her loose clothes couldn't hide her curvy figure."Mr Anderson, the mayor is waiting for you in his office. This way, please." Olivia escorted him.Immediately, Henry recognized her voice and knew that it was Olivia. Henry nodded and signaled to Archer to stay on the lookout.Then, he followed Olivia to that mayor's office.He looked around and noticed there were traces of peeling on the damp walls.The pipe was leaking. A faint rotten smell filled the air.The building was losing its race with time and badly needed repairs.Olivia noticed Henry frowning, which was worried her, for she didn't want him to have any poor impressions. Trying
A faint smile appeared on Henry's face as he watched them leave.It was not uncommon for people to not care about something that did not affect their interest.Had it been the opposite, they would bare their fangs and do whatever it would take them to protect their stake.Henry and the leader arrived at the meeting room on the top floor, preparing for the meeting about their community project.Brent said in admiration, "Mr Anderson, you are indeed a resourceful man. It's a brilliant idea to raise the housing price on the market using the school for enrichment. No one would return the houses because of their increased value."The executives nodded in agreement."It's human nature to want the better end of the deal. Mr Anderson has taken advantage of it, but it was rather unexpected!" Jason explained.Ryan added, "Mr Anderson is naturally good at it."He was very excited.Given time, Henry might be able to accomplish great things as Christopher had said.However, Brent, who was in charg
Toby swallowed his saliva and said, "Jim claimed that he poisoned a building site for an Dale Building community. At least ten employees perished. On the one hand, we are able to express our rage. On the other hand, If the people who want to buy the house know that someone died there, they weren't going to buy them. They will very certainly seek a return of the deposit, and the community's house prices will certainly fall. It will be a major setback for Dale Building's capital chain. Henry is going to be in a lot of trouble once the Dale Building is in disarray.Jim nodded. Douglas was a bit disgusted because of the two lumps of fat on Jim's cheeks were wobbling. However, this strategy was excellent. As a result, Douglas said enthusiastically, "you did an excellent job. You have finally come up with a plan that will irritated Henry. Fantastic! I will give you a couple of vacation days to relax!"Jim was overjoyed. He was giddy with delight as he danced. However, Jim's conduct irritate
Archer took immediate action.An automobile pulled up in front of Henry in less than two minutes."Get baçk to dale Building as quickly as possible," Henry remarked as he climbed into the vehicle.Archer casual demeanor was quickly replaced with a stern one.He adjusted his seat, gripping the steering wheel tightly, and pushed the accelerator pedal all the way down.Archer's old automobile had been left behind after the gas can explosion the last time.In every way, the new automobile worked well.Even though there was a lot of traffic on the road, Archer maintained driving smoothly and passing.They arrived at the Dale Building's gate ten minutes later. Henry stormed into the chairman's office on the top floor.All the department heads were waiting for him in the office.Ryan, who didn't attend such things, was also present. Henry slammed his fist on the desk and yelled, "Tell me! What the hell has happened? Was is by accident or n deliberate act by someone?" Ryan offered Henry
Isabella held Henry's hand tightly. She was so nervous that her body couldn't stop trembling.What happened just now really freaked her out. Moreover, Henry's friend actually assumed that she was his girlfriend.For a moment, Isabella was flustered and pleased at the same time. Her face was red, and her arms leaned against Henry's arm. Feeling the softness and warmth on his arm, Henry looked at Isabella who looked like she was still in shock.Then, he asked in a teasing tone, "what are you thinking about? Do you realise you're holding me a little too tightly?" Hearing this, Isabella came to her senses. She quickly loosen her grip and muttered embarrassed, "what? I'm not... What nonsense are you talking about?""Haha!" Henry burst out laughing upon seeing her cute reaction.On the other hand, Isabella was so embarrassed that she really wanted to let go of Henry's arm. However, Henry grabbed her hand.Feeling the warmth on her hand, Isabella's face blushed all the more. It was as if t
"This is Giovanni from Bloody Monster. If you go to Starry City, you'll definitely hear about him. Ask around, but make sure you don't wet yourself!" Adrian became arrogant with Giovanni beside him.If people were only to speculate, they could most likely recognise him as the leader of the group."Fuck off!" Giovanni then went to the front and kicked Adrian aside.Naturally, Adrian bowed and smile at him apologetically. He was eager to keep on his good side.Despite Henry's presence, Giovanni stepped closer to Isabella and looked her up and down. It seemed that he completely and deliberately ignored Henry."Ha! She's certainly pretty. Well done, Adrian. You will have your chance after we've finished with her."Isabella felt a shiver down her smile. All the colour on her face quickly got washed off. She grabbed Henry's shirt and hid herself behind him.Right then, Henry clearly felt that she was trembling in fear. He didn't like that this insolent man put Isabella in cold sweat. The n
