As Henry took the car out of the place, he checked the time and it was 2:47pm. He looked down at his dress and discovered he looked homeless.

His dress was stained with dust from the pursuit, and his hair and face looked disheveled. Then, he realized he needed a clean haircut.

So, he headed back to the hotel to change out of his dress before he would go to the barber's shop. He came down from the car and got into the hotel. He noticed a lot of cars parked in the garage like there was an event.

He got into the hotel and asked the receptionist what was going on, and she said a group of elite members of the society were gathered, having a private lunch in their restaurant.

He nodded and took the elevator to his room. On his way into his room, a loud voice made him stop.

"Young master!" The owner of the hotel, Aaron Crimson, called after him. He was a man in his late forties and he had a reputation for looking over the top at all times. Five bodyguards followed him.

As soon as he reached

    "Sh*t! How dare you? I can buy your entire family with just my neck chain!" Sage bragged in anger, veins popping on his reddened face.Even Irene didn't see this insult coming. She gazed at Henry with proud eyes, silently rooting for him."You could buy my family? Wow, I never knew you know a lot about my family! Look, I give you two options: apologize to this girl, or else I'll make sure you regret seeing me today!" Henry said."Oh my God, I'm so scared!" Sage faked fear and began to snicker crazily. "Hehe, Look at this rascal dressed like a clown. What can you do?" He sized him up, "Apart from being poor, you also lack the strong body to defeat me in a fight. Tell me, what will I regret?"Henry scoffed inwardly. He had a fairly built body, soft facial features, making him appear vulnerable at first. But his strength was surely on par with any WWE wrestler.However the man in front of him was strongly built but he didn't need anyone to tell him he was a weakling in terms of strength.

    The bodyguards resumed beating him, ensuring all parts of his body were bruised and wounded. "Any man who beats up his girlfriend does not deserve to live! When you are done, throw him into the garbage dump outside the hotel!" "No, wait! Please…. Please, I beg you! Let me go, please!" Sage hollered in between kicks and punches, as he was being tossed about like a piece of paper. Henry acted like nothing was happening and looked over at Irene. "Follow me, miss. You're not supposed to see such an eyesore." "Huh?" Irene jolted. She fearfully left his side and followed Henry. "Thanks a lot for your help, sir." "It's okay, is he your boyfriend?" He asked. "Isn't it obvious?" She scoffed in a sad tone. Henry could feel the pain in her voice. It was clear that the relationship was toxic and this wasn't the first time he was harassing her. She gave him a slight bow and headed for her room. She was a pretty lady in her early twenties, with a v-shaped face and a slim figure. Her dark loc

    "Huh?" "What's this guy saying?" "Is he okay?" "For free? In which barber's shop?" The barbers' shocked gasps and reactions rang in the air. Everyone thought he was joking or bluffing."Ah! I know your problem, you probably think this is the 20-dollar barber shop you used to go for a haircut? Look well, young man, you're in ABS! Aficionado Barbing Studio!" Gideon burst into laughter trying to hurt Henry's feelings.However, Henry kept a grim look. "I mean it, I have connections and I'll get a haircut for free. Watch and learn."Gideon erupted, his fury at peak. Why was he so hard to hurt? And before, he acted more vulnerable, allowing him to bully him as he wished. Why did he change? "Dammit, if you can get a haircut for free, I'll kneel before you and call you dad!"Henry was quite taken aback by his statement. "Are you sure about this? Because I don't easily forget bets." He said with a cold aura.Gideon felt a bit intimidated and reasoned he might be serious, but later brushed it o

    Henry and Gilbert faced each other with smiles. "Long time no see, Henry. Allow me to give you a special private treatment in my inner chamber.""Sure, no problem," Henry replied, following him into the spacious office that looked like a separate room on its own. He headed to the high-end luxury room made to resemble a barbershop but with more facilities.Henry sat down and told him the hairstyle he wanted, and he skillfully began his work on the hair. He trimmed the edges and began the burst fade, and at the end the haircut came out perfect. "Young master looks 10 years younger!" Gilbert couldn't help but flatter."Don't flatter me, Gilbert," Henry criticized. He knew he looked younger, but 10 years younger was too exaggerated. He was only in his twenties, of he aged ten years back, would he suddenly become a child?! Gilbert realized he was unhappy and hurriedly corrected himself. "Ah, my apologies."Henry shot him a look, before saying, "enough with the formalities. Aren't we cl

    The next day, Henry woke up early and began to prepare for work. He wore a not-too-expensive suit that did not attract too much attention, and white sneakers. When he was done, he got into his car and headed to the White Group. He alighted and took his steps into the large company, his expression strict and calculative. His first destination was Clifford's office so that he could register his name in the list of workers. He took the lift to the two-hundred-and-fiftieth floor, stopping at the vice president's office. He barged the door open. Clifford was busy with work, but the second he saw that it was Henry that barged into his office, he stood up immediately. "Young master, it's a pleasure to see you this morning!" He greeted with a polite smile. "You too, Cliff," Henry said, taking his seat. "I came for the registration." Clifford smiled at his cold attitude. He could remember how even more cold Reuben's attitude was to him, but deep down, they were the kindest people. He t

    Henry ignored her gibberish and began sorting himself out. He discovered he had to collect the company's assets before fully beginning his work as an analyst.He grabbed his phone and walked out of the office heading to the HOD's office which was on the two hundred and twenty ninth floor. On his way, he mistakenly stumbled into a man as the man groaned and fell to his knees. "I'm really sorry," he said as he knelt down and picked up his files from the floor. He was about to hand them over when he saw drops of blood on the floor.But he didn't think he hit the man that hard to draw blood? The man got up slowly as he collected the files from Henry's hand. "Thank you..." the man began to say, when their eyes met. He quickly looked down and his expression changed mildly."It's alright," Henry didn't think much into it and waved it off. But he immediately turned back when saw the man walking with his hands on his left waist.His mind suddenly clicked and he remembered stabbing the maske

    The place was dark and dusty, the windows broken and only a small opening allowed light inside. The furniture looked like it had been there since the 90s. The tracker had led them to this area in the shabby city district, which consequently meant the masked had taken off the trouser and kept it here."Okay, we're going in, now!" The head guardian of the White family, Johannes Tan, laid down his strict command after checking inside to be sure it was clear.Immediately, Henry, Clifford, together with the full army of the White security force, stormed into the small house, searching everywhere.They checked the laundry basket and saw the trouser with the tracker in it, confirming their assumption.While others dispersed into various rooms, Henry checked out the living room. It was filled with papers, worn out items, and the lights were flickering.He saw some items on the shaky table and moved over. A paper contained the employment letter he was given in the White Group with his name, S

    He knew he took that video in case he was being arrested, he could use that to protect himself in case he was being arrested and asked to say the name of the murderer.“West Lou,” he muttered in thought. He knew that place well because it was an abandoned storey building where lawbreakers carried out their dealings.That person must truly be hideous. He pocketed the flash, the pictures and every other thing he could gather before the rest of the group arrived. He called the attention of Johannes Tan and told him what he saw. Then he said, “send the men to West Lou, I'll be heading back to the White mansion with Clifford.”"Sure!" The middle-aged burly guardian saluted. "Boys, we are heading to West Lou after now!""Yes sir!" They all agreed and headed for the location in their vehicles. Three men were left to guard to the entrance to the building while others left.Henry went back home with Clifford as he did not feel the need to go to work that day again.

    Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some

    "Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h

    "I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

    Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed.

    "who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of? "She hissed bec

    He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat

    Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew

    Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve

    "I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?"
