"Let me go.." Before Danny could finish his words, Henry sent out his clenched fist and it connected neatly to Danny's face, sending him sliding backwards.
Danny's body slid across the room until his body hit the wall. The whole room fell silent with everyone's mouths widened in shock after witnessing the scene that just played out right in front of them.
"Henry, what have you done!" Elena voiced out as she ran towards where Danny laid. Danny's right cheek was now red and swollen, and blood could be seen trickling down his mouth.
Danny laid on the floor for a few more seconds, and after recovering from the shock and pain he picked himself up and moved his gaze towards where Henry stood with his two fists still clenched tightly.
"You, poor bastard! You dare lay your filthy finger on me? How dare you!" Danny roared as he slowly made his way towards Henry with boiling anger. "I shall make you pay!"
Danny quickened his steps and was now directly in front of Henry, swinging his right fist forward. The first moved through the air with great speed and power as it headed towards Henry who just stood there calmly.
When the fist was only inches away from Henry's face, he moved his head slightly and made the punch miss him by hair length. The immense force behind the punch had caused Henry's blonde hair to move and Danny's arm kept traveling forward after missing his target.
With Danny's arm still outstretched, Henry clenched his fist and punched it towards Danny's face. Even if Danny would have loved to block the strike, he was unable to retrieve his outstretched arm and the punch was just too fast for him to react.
Henry's fist slammed heavily on Danny's left cheek, lifted him off the floor and sent him crashing against a glass table and caused it to shatter instantly.
"Contain your dog, Elena, or he might end up dying." Henry spoke in a cold tone as he walked towards the mini bar located in a corner of the living room.
Henry would have left the house after realizing Elena was only using him, but he had nowhere else to go. He did rent this apartment for both himself and Elena, but now that he found out she never loved him he would have to collect the apartment back.
"What are you all looking at?" Henry questioned with an uncomfortable look as the whole crowd gazed at him with widened mouths and eyes. "Enjoy the party, and when it's over you get the fuck out of my house."
Henry then sat on a chair and picked up a bottle of liquor, taking gulp after gulp until the bottle was now empty.
"Did that guy just hit Danny in the face?" A female amongst the crowd whispered to a guy in disbelief.
"Seems like he did. Just who does he think he is that made him harm a man like Danny?" The guy whispered back with his gaze fixated on Henry who was busy downing several bottles of liquor.
"I just hope Danny doesn't get mad or everyone here will bear the consequences." The lady gulped as she shifted her gaze towards the spot Danny crashed into.
"Henry, have you gone insane or what?" Elena voiced out in anger as she rushed up to where Danny crashed on to check on him.
Danny laid there with different parts of his body bleeding. The shattered parts of the table he crashed against tore his skin in different angles.
"You....worthless...trash.." Danny spoke sluggishly as he staggered back to his feet with his two cheeks red and swollen.
"Do you know who i am!" Danny retorted with his voice filled in anger, but Henry paid no attention to him as he just sat there gulping his liquor.
"I am no ordinary man that a trash like you could mess with! Hey, do not ignore me!" Danny's face turned bright red as Henry never spared him a single glance while he spoke.
"Fine, then, I shall teach you a valuable lesson!"
Saying those words, Danny pulled out his Iphone and began to dial a number.
The phone rang for a few seconds until the other finally picked up.
"Come in now!" Danny declared and disconnected the call.
Hearing the words of Danny, the crowd began to fidget and mumble in fear.
"Shit, he just called in his army!"
"Now we are all dead!"
"Let's get out of here!"
"Are you crazy? There's only one way in and out and that's where the army is coming in from!"
Noise erupted in the living room as everyone began to sweat buckets full after hearing the order of Danny.
"Babe, don't you think you are taking this a little too far?" Elena uttered with a slight look of concern.
"Too far? That bastard hit me..not once, but twice!" Danny responded, rubbing his red cheek while gritting his teeth in pain. "Wait, are you worried about that trash's well being?" He added with a slight look of suspicion.
"No, it's not that. But if your thugs should come in here they won't just hurt Henry but also hurt the people here." Elena answered back with a worrisome look.
"Don't worry, babe. The only person going to hell tonight is that worthless racoon." Danny informed me.
A loud bang reverberated throughout the living room as the entrance door was knocked down. Seconds after the door was knocked down, six bulky men that almost resembled giants walked in.
They all had a fierce look on their faces and a giant baseball bat with hundreds of nails on it was held in their hands.
Catching a glimpse of the men, the whole crowd gave a collective gulp with their hearts racing and cold sweat could be seen trickling down their faces.
"Welcome, boys!" Danny smirked as he watched the giant-like men walk into the living room. "I only want you to kill one person, and that person is the man sitting over there!"
"The person I want you to kill is that trash sitting across the room." Danny instructed, his finger pointing towards the mini bar stationed in a corner of the living room where Henry could be seen having a drink."Teach him a lesson he would never forget." He added with an evil look etched on his face. The thugs gave a collective nod as they began to walk towards Henry who just sat there unbothered and drinking a bottle of liquor."I heard you have been causing a bit of trouble, eh?" One of the thugs spoke in a deep voice as he stood behind Henry.Henry picked up another bottle and began to drink it greedily. Even if he was already drunk, he still couldn't stop himself from having another bottle. Not after all what has happened tonight.He thought it would be best to drown his sorrows and drink till he could no more."Can you believe this guy? He dares ignore us." One of the thugs uttered in anger as he lifted up his dangerous baseball bat and swung it down towards Henry's unprotected
Moments after Henry was dealt with and everyone in the party left, leaving him unconscious, what looked like a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit walked towards where Henry lay motionless.The man had been in the room the whole time the incident was happening and witnessed everything.He bent down in front of Henry to examine him closely."Those guys really did a number on him." The man mused, pulling out his phone and began to dial a number on it.The phone rang for a few seconds until the other finally answered."Bring in the cars and come into the building quickly." The man ordered before disconnecting the call.The sounds of tires screeching could be heard outside as different shiny black Lamborghini began to drive into the compound. The fleet of cars pulled over in front of the buildings and several individuals dressed in black suits alighted the car and rushed into the building."Boss, what's the matter?" One of the men amongst the group inquired as he approached the man wh
"What do you mean, sir?" Henry questioned."I can't tell you my reasons for doing so right now, but I wish to elevate you by giving you a decent job in my company, Henry." Luther informed me with a smile.Henry's eyes lit up in shock and disbelief."Really, sir? But why? You don't even know me." Henry questioned with joy surging through his body."Trust me, I know enough." Luther responded. "So, what do you say? Do you agree?" "Of course? Why won't I agree? I have lived in poverty and suffering my whole life, this is a great opportunity for me." Henry remarked."That's good." Luther spoke, placing his hand on Henry's shoulder. "The nurse said you are okay to leave. I will send a little amount of money to your account right now. Use the money to get things for yourself and also get a decent suit cause you will be resuming work soon." Luther added as he rose up from where he sat and began to exit the room.DingSeconds after Luther left, Henry's phone chimed on the table causing him to
Well, yeah. If you do not believe me, why don't we make a deal? If i am able to pay for the items i pick, you two are to get the fuck out of here immediately, and if i fail, i will be the one leaving." Henry sounded with a smirk.Elena had her eyes fixated on the young man that stood in front of her in bewilderment. The Henry she knew back then wasn't this confident and anytime he was being mocked he would only remain mute and bury his head down in shame.But for some reason their hateful words weren't affecting him in any way which made her shiver a bit. She could tell something was different about him."Haha, quit embarrassing yourself now, Henry. We both know you came out here to stalk me and not to buy anything. Even if you save up your entire salary you get from your crappy delivery job you wouldn't be able to purchase a single outfit here, let alone a bunch of them." Elena finally regained composure and voiced out with a sneer."Yeah, bro, give it a rest and move on with your wo
Henry exited the Mall's location and began to make his way back home with a heavy heart and his mind filled with thoughts. Just when he had the chance to show off in front of Elena and Danny, his card failed him and instead he was the one who got humiliated in front of everyone.Luther did say there was a total of one million dollars in the ATM card, yet the transaction declined. While Henry was walking through the streets, his phone began to chime in his pocket. He chose to ignore it and kept on walking, but the phone rang again.Henry slid his hand into his pocket and took out the phone to glance at the caller. It was an unknown number."Hello?" Henry spoke after answering the phone."Mr. Henry Barlow, your presence is requested by Mr. Luther right now." A deep and rugged male's voice sounded over the phone."I don't even know how to get to his place." Henry responded."A ride will be sent to you immediately after I hang up this call." Saying those last words, the call was disconnec
Hearing the words of Henry, Luther rose up from where he sat and walked towards a table meters away. He picked up a piece of document and walked towards Henry."Here you go. Sign this." Luther informed, handing the documents over to Henry. Henry retrieved the documents and pen and examined it closely."All you have to do is sign. Once you put in your signature you get a signing bonus of ten million dollars." Luther informed with a smirk.Henry gulped at the sound of the amount. He said signing bonus, not salary. If a bonus can be this grand he wondered just how much his salary would be.Henry read through the contract for a few minutes before signing it and handed it back to Luther. Luther glanced at it and nodded his head before making a transfer.DING*CREDIT ALERT: $10,000,000Henry glanced at his phone and saw the alert of the signing bonus instantly."Oh my God, this is..." Henry was truly speechless. He has never had such a huge amount of money in his account before. Before he m
While Henry was being restrained by the security, the remains of the chain fell to the floor and landed in front of Mr. Pedro. Mr. Pedro picked it up and glanced at the symbol on the chain."What have you guys done to my guest!" Mr. Pedro voiced out in anger.All heads in the area turned and they saw Mr. Pedro, the owner of the company walking towards the ongoing scene with his face bright red in anger. Catching a glimpse of his father, Danny stood up from the floor with his nose bleeding and rushed up to him."Father, look at what this lunatic here did to.." Before Danny could finish his complaints, Mr. Pedro slapped him real hard on the face and caused him to stumble backwards."How dare you all harass an important guest like this! Do you have any idea what punishment might befall this company with what you all have just done now?!" Mr. Pedro voiced with boiling rage.He recognized the symbol on the chain as Luther's empire and was fully aware of what would happen if he knew one of
Luther’s men went over to Pedro’s company and began tearing down the place. They scared away the workers and clients. They broke the revolving glass and used spray paints all over the building.“Dad I have called the police” Danny rushed into his father’s office. Pedro turned away from the window and walked to his desk.“It’s useless Danny” he said sitting.“Dad! How? How could you be calm when the company is going through chaos” Danny paced his father’s office. He was boiling in rage. He clenched and unclenched his fist. Henry was now a threat.“ You should have thought it through before you attacked that man” Pedro sighed. The calm he had on was pissing Danny off by the minute. “what?” Danny stared at his father with wide eyes. What the hell does that mean, he thought. He walked to his father’s high rise window and looked down. The police had not yet arrived and damage those men had caused was getting bigger. They had successful taken down the huge signboard of his father’s compan
