Henry's fierce and domineering expression caused an immediate hush among the crowd. However, his words only made the fans more frenzied, and many were ready to attack him.The chaos escalated, making even Skyler a little anxious. The crowd jostled him, and while he was indifferent to the harm done to the fans, he did not want to be injured."Everyone, calm down!" Skyler called out loudly."Let's listen to Skyler! He'll deal with this!""Everyone! Stop and listen to Skyler. He won't let the attacker go unpunished."The crowd quieted down gradually, showing the significant influence of Skyler's words. He was pleased with himself and looked at Lydia as if to show off his power compared to Henry's apparent roughness.He approached Henry and Lydia and said coldly, "How dare you hurt my fans? You should be punished!""She deserved it!" Henry sneered. He could not believe Skyler dared to question him.The woman who had been offended was enraged; she would have taken matters into her o
Henry's disdainful expression remained unchanged as he dealt with the bodyguards. He defeated the bodyguards effortlessly with a few swift punches and kicks, leaving everyone in shock."Come on!" Henry sneered at Skyler."You're just an unreasonable, violent brute!" Skyler shouted angrily."Am I?" Henry laughed."Isn't that what you are? We came here to perform and share our excellent music and performances with the people of Aurelia, yet you treated us with such violence. I will sue you!" Skyler yelled.Meanwhile, many fans echoed his sentiments."He's such a disgrace to Aurelia.""Exactly, people like him should be executed to protect our nation's reputation.""Yes, it's violent people like him that make others think our country is barbaric.""We can't tolerate this. We should expose him online to set an example.""Let's all strive to be civilized and contribute to our country's future under the leadership of Skyler.""Skyler is truly a hero."Skyler felt a little embarra
Once inside the elevator, Henry noticed Lydia's troubled expression and tried to comfort her. "Ignore those idiots; they're just brainless fans.""It's not that. Their words did make me angry. But what's done is done. They won't let this go easily, and it may cause you a lot of trouble." Lydia was worried.Becky heard Lydia's concern, immediately came to her senses, and said, "Yes, those people are crazy. They definitely won't stop here."Henry sneered, "Let them come. Don't worry. I have plenty of ways to deal with idiots like them."Lydia nodded, not saying anything further. They could only face everything together.Becky glanced at Henry in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "I noticed someone was filming. They might edit the footage to incriminate you, like only showing the part where you hit them."Henry was taken aback. Then, he smiled and said, "You know quite a bit, Ms. Watson.""Well, I've never encountered something like this, but I've heard something si
"Exactly! He was unreasonable. Look at how many of us are injured because of him," the crowd shouted."Who did this? Step forward," Harold demanded sternly."The guy has already left, but he's staying at this hotel. We have footage of him," Skyler quickly responded and handed over the video he had obtained.The footage showed Henry hitting those fans and then the bodyguards, making him appear like a violent troublemaker. The video conveniently left out Skyler's provocation and focused only on his seemingly righteous actions of protecting his fans.Harold watched the video and requested a copy as evidence. Then he asked, "Why did the fight start?""It was because of me." Skyler stepped forward."The woman with him is my fan. She wanted to sleep with me, but I refused. That man got furious and started attacking everyone.""Alright, I'll find this man and get to the bottom of this," Harold said."Why bother? The evidence is clear. Just arrest him and throw him in jail," Skyler sai
Harold arrived at Henry's room. Henry opened the door and saw police officers standing there. He wondered if the governor had already been informed.The governor was the highest authority in the South Valley Province, so it should be fine for him to delay things for a day or two."Hi—" Harold began to speak, but his phone rang. Since it was a call from his superior, he quickly answered.He was about to speak when his superior interrupted, "Officer Kennedy, you don't need to handle the hotel situation. Return immediately.""But many people are causing a scene here, and it involves Skyler, a top celebrity from Kaspiera. He's huge here in Aurelia," Harold explained."Just tell them you're investigating and gathering evidence. Assure them that they'll get an explanation," his superior instructed."Well, alright then," Harold replied. He had no choice but to comply. That young man had significant backing, explaining his boldness in publicly fighting.Despite his personal dislike for
Skyler noticed Henry had yet to be taken to the police station, indicating that he had little influence.A woman beside Skyler said, "Aren't you afraid he might've recorded your threats?""Why should I be afraid? Even if he recorded it, who can prove I sent the staff? I can claim it's all his doing," Skyler sneered."You're so smart, Skyler. That's why we adore you," the woman praised him."Of course, or you wouldn't serve me here so willingly," Skyler said smugly. The women beside him included the one Henry had slapped earlier."Yes, Skyler, you're so handsome, elegant, and powerful. We're in love with you. I'm even applying for citizenship in Kaspiera.""But Aurelia citizenship is the hardest citizenship to get. Once you give up, there's no going back.""I don't care about that. I want to be with you and become a distinguished Kaspieraian.""Very good!" Skyler laughed heartily.Then, with a sinister grin, he said, "I'll make that man regret refusing me.""Exactly! That woma
Henry went furious and made several phone calls to dig deeper into Skyler's past. He intended to make Skyler pay a hefty price.Skyler was unaware of Henry's action and remained smug.By dinnertime, he asked about Henry and Lydia and was informed they had not left their room. He sneered, "It's been so long, and no one has arrested him yet. He must have some powerful backing."At that moment, Skyler received a message revealing that Lydia was the new general manager of a subsidiary of Sky Avenue Group. He had finally realized why the authorities had not taken action; she had such a significant background.However, Skyler was not highly educated and did not understand anything about the Sky Avenue Group. Even if he had a higher degree, it would not necessarily mean he knew about Sky Avenue Group. To him, it was just another corporation, and he had ways to deal with corporate leaders."Let's make it more interesting," Skyler said.His associates quickly complied and spread the news
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lydia opened it to find a man in his 40s or 50s standing there."Hello, are you Ms. Miller?" he asked."Yes, I am. And you are?" Lydia replied."I'm Timothy Hyde, the Deputy General Manager of Sky Avenue Group's South Valley Branch.""Oh, here you are. Please come on in. What brings you here?" Lydia invited him in."Well—" Timothy looked troubled."Ms. Miller, you're aware of the situation online, right?""Yes, I'm aware." Lydia nodded as her expression darkened.She was worried about the impact this would have on Henry. No matter his skill, he could not go against public opinion. If the authorities got involved, even Henry's abilities would not be enough to protect him. After all, no individual could stand against the country."Okay then, I'll get straight to the point. I believe in you, but this situation is severely affecting Sky Avenue Group's reputation." Timothy sighed."Really?" Lydia was shocked. She had not realized that and
