Henry noticed a young man sitting inside when he walked up to the car. The man looked arrogant, with his shirt collar open."Do you know what mistake you made, dude?" The young man, Barry, glanced at Henry and asked menacingly while holding a baseball bat."No idea," Henry replied, shaking his head. He genuinely had no clue, and no one had told him anything."You don't know?"No idea what you did?" the man who brought Henry angrily shouted. He held back because Barry had not instructed anything yet.Henry frowned and replied coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have time for this!""Oh, look at this tough guy," the man sneered and was about to hit him, but Barry waved him off."Look at him. Maybe he really doesn't know what he did or who he offended," Barry said."If he knew who you were, he'd be shaking in his boots, Young Master Hood." The man laughed, and the others joined in.'Is this man from the Hood family, one of the four prominent families in Ea
'Wait a minute, is this about the Sky Avenue Group?' Henry thought."Still guessing?" Barry sneered. "Fine, since we've come this far, let me clarify it for you. Think about what you've done recently.""Sheena?" Henry realized it might be because of her."Ah, finally, you're using your brain. But it's too late. Young Master Newman has ordered us to cripple you. There's no turning back now," Barry said coldly."Do it!""Hold on!" Henry stopped them again.Given the information Barry provided, he decided to give him a chance. "Are you going to cripple me for the Newmans?""Of course. What else do you think we're here for?" Barry retorted."I think you should reconsider. Otherwise, I'm afraid you can't handle the consequences," Henry said."What a joke! You think you can threaten us?" Barry scoffed."I was considering sparing your life. That's off the table now. Kill him and make him disappear!"The situation was getting out of hand, and Henry's eyes reflected his anger. He sai
Thud!A loud impact blasted out as the men surrounded Henry, and Henry knocked all the attackers down. They lay on the ground, clutching their faces and screaming in agony.Henry had used the bat to knock them all to the ground in a short time. Their cries of pain filled the air. Some had their legs broken, while others were more fortunate, with only one leg injured.The attackers looked at Henry in terror, unable to believe how easily he had taken them down; they had not even managed to get close to him.Barry's eyes widened in surprise, but his expression quickly turned to anger and hatred, and he said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. No wonder you're so arrogant!""Am I? It seems like you guys are the arrogant ones," Henry replied."You think your skills can solve everything? Even if you're ten times stronger, I have a hundred ways to make you suffer," Barry sneered."Show me then." Henry chuckled."No need for that!" Barry shook his head disdainfully."You think you'
Henry looked down with disdain and shook his head. He said, "A bunch of trash! How dare you try to be arrogant in front of me!"His words enraged the group, but no one dared to speak up. After all, no one would be foolish enough to draw attention to themselves at that point.Yet, Barry, who had been hurt from the impact, crawled out from the car and shouted furiously, "Don't get too cocky, dude!"Do you even know who I am? How dare you hurt me?""Didn't you just say so, Young Master Hood?" Henry said indifferently.Barry was speechless as his anger grew."You know I'm from the Hood family then?"Henry was speechless. He wondered if Barry's brain was damaged from the impact.Barry, realizing his explanation might not be clear enough, said, "I'm saying the Hoods aren't just anyone. We're one of the four prominent families in Eastonia, and I'm Young Master Hood."As soon as Barry finished speaking, one of the men who had his leg broken by Henry saw an opportunity to curry favor w
"What do you want to do?" Barry's face paled with fear, his voice trembling with a mix of anger and terror."Didn't I tell you already? You want my life, so I want your legs. Fair enough, right?" Henry said calmly."No, no!" Barry panicked."If you let me go, I'll pretend none of this happened, and I won't hold any grudges."But if you harm me, the Hoods won't let you off. No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to run from the Hoods.""Are you still threatening me?" Henry said indifferently."No, not a threat; it's a plea. A plea!" Barry was genuinely terrified. He wanted to survive that ordeal, knowing he had countless ways to make Henry suffer later."Your attitude is better now, but it's too late." Henry shook his head and walked toward him."How dare you!" Barry yelled frantically."The Hoods will never forgive you!"Henry did not want to waste more time and hit Barry with the bat.The speed was too fast for Barry to react.Thud!"Argh!"Barry felt an excruci
"Young Master Newman has been pursuing Sheena for a while and has been repeatedly rejected. He's furious with her now and may have gone to the hotel where she's staying.""What did you say?" Henry's face paled.Barry jumped in fear, worried that Henry might hit him again. He quickly said, "I've told you everything! Don't hit me again. And it's all true, I swear. I even told him the hotel's location."He's probably already at the hotel by now."Barry was clearly terrified. He tried to direct Henry toward Mateo, unaware of how furious his words made Henry.Henry's expression grew colder. He immediately asked, "Which hotel and which room?"Barry provided the information hurriedly.The hotel was nearby."You better pray Sheena is safe, or you'll regret it deeply," Henry said coldly, delivering a hard kick to Barry.It was clear he had done many despicable things.Barry let out a pained groan as he was sent flying and landed unconscious afterward.After knocking Barry out, Henry
Mateo's face turned cold, and he asked icily, "Ms. Mose, what do you mean by this? I won't bite."Carrie's face changed drastically, and she quickly replied, "No, of course you won't. Young Master Newman, you must be joking; it's just that Sheena and the others are not properly dressed for a gentleman to enter.""Oh, really? Let me take a look at how improper it is." Mateo ignored Carrie's words and walked into the room.Nicolas said hurriedly, "Young Master Newman, I have other matters to attend to. Please allow me to excuse myself.""Go ahead!" Mateo did not even look back as he walked inside.Carrie's face darkened, but she quickly followed him in. The bodyguard followed suit and locked the door behind them.Sheena and Penny's faces paled when they heard the commotion at the door. They knew Mateo had arrived."Sheena, what should we do?" Penny was anxious."Don't panic. Let's see what he has to say. He won't dare do anything drastic." Sheena tried to appear calm.Penny nodd
"Are you serious, Young Master Newman?" Carrie knew that it was highly unlikely for super-elite families like the Newmans to marry a celebrity.However, there were always exceptions."Of course!" Mateo said, though he knew it was impossible. He only wanted to deceive her for the time being."If that's the case, I think Sheena may consider it. But will the Newmans truly accept her?" Carrie asked."You have my word. Sheena, what do you think?" Mateo asked.Sheena was stunned, not knowing how to respond.Carrie was about to speak on her behalf, but Mateo stopped her. "Shut up!"He was not stupid. He had been watching Sheena's expression while talking to Carrie; it did not match her words.In addition, the information he got from Nicolas and the situation on stage with the man who sang with Sheena indicated something was off.Sheena hesitated. "I...""Did Ms. Mose say that just to deceive me?" Mateo coldly questioned.Sheena's face paled. She knew lying would only delay the inev
