Celia almost fainted on the spot. It was a heavy slap, showing how terrified Vito was.Not only Henry but even Jake and Jay were dumbfounded by her actions. They had never encountered such a foolish woman."Please ignore her ramblings," Vito hurriedly pleaded."If you grant me a chance, I'll be forever grateful and swear my undying loyalty to you!"Henry nodded and responded calmly, "I do want to give you a chance. But with a wife like her by your side, do you think you'll escape next time?"Vito immediately declared, "Rest assured, I'll divorce her after today!""No!" Celia screamed."You can't! I won't allow it! If you dare divorce me, I'll end my life right now!"She was furious with Vito and had planned to ignore him after being slapped, and she could not accept Vito wanting to divorce her."Do as you please," Vito retorted.Celia was stunned. She was filled with deep regret.She would not be in that predicament if she had not been so obsessed with defeating Henry. Howev
Henry noticed Vito's thoughts, but he remained indifferent and said calmly, "Prepare the papers; we'll transfer the shares this afternoon."Vito hesitated."Are you unwilling to do so?""No, it's just that it requires a lot of preparation. But since you've given the order, I'll ensure it's done. We can sign the agreement by 4:00 P.M.," Vito quickly responded, his mind racing.He knew he had no choice but to comply. The best course of action was to hand everything over."Good. Remember—I don't like making a fuss. So this must be done discreetly. No one in the group should know about this, and business should continue as usual.""Understood!" Vito said.With everything settled, Henry left with his people. When they were out of sight, Vito collapsed to the ground, his back drenched in sweat. The entire ordeal had been too harrowing, too terrifying.After a moment, he glanced at Celia. Although he was reluctant, there was even more cold malice.Vito looked at the other members of
As long as a formidable person strong enough to match Henry emerged, Vito believed it would be his opportunity for revenge.However, his immediate priority was to handle the situation at hand. He swiftly arranged for everything to be taken care of.He had an even more important task to attend to—the transfer of the shares. Even though Vito had powerful connections, completing that discreetly was far from easy.The Hood Group was his family business, but he still had to inform the shareholders, even those with minimal shares.Vito did not know that Henry had not left; he was sitting in the car, waiting for Jake to arrive. Moments ago, Jake had returned to the Hood Mansion.Before long, Jake appeared."Master!" Jake said."So, what did Vito do?" Henry asked calmly."Master, you got him!" Jake exclaimed."Vito's ruthlessness is truly terrifying. And his earlier concession wasn't sincere."Jake was shocked by Vito's actions. He had believed Vito was genuinely frightened and compl
Henry gave the order casually; the money was not significant to him. However, even the smallest gain was still something; donating it to impoverished children in remote areas was a worthy cause."Understood!" his subordinate replied respectfully.Jayson had fled abroad and beyond Vito's reach. However, Henry's formidable influence extended far beyond the country.By 3:00 P.M., Vito had meticulously arranged everything. The transfer process went smoothly.Unlike the other prominent families with diverse industries, the Hood Group represented the bulk of the Hood's assets. The group was no ordinary one; it was among the top companies in South Valley, valued at over a billion dollars. Henry had all the Hoods' shares; the company was in his control.Everything proceeded as planned, though Vito occasionally showed signs of reluctance.Despite his attempts to appear indifferent and even eager, his subtle flashes of resentment did not escape Henry's notice. That was due to Henry's maste
"To chat about the future with someone," Henry replied calmly.He was different from someone like Herwig, who, as a cultivator, was accustomed to killing. Henry still viewed himself as an ordinary person despite the chaos around him.Herwig was taken aback but quickly forgot about it.His loyalty to Henry grew with each passing day due to the soul control technique.Henry had noticed that. Unfortunately, the technique's limitations meant he had to use it sparingly for maximum benefit.Meanwhile, Caleb sat in the hospital, looking utterly dejected. His only hope was to witness the downfall of the Hoods.For years, he believed Vito treated him like a real brother and nurtured his talents. However, as a crippled man, he realized he had only ever been a tool.He learned that he had been left with almost nothing—no shares, no assets.Everything he thought was his was just an illusion, but the realization had arrived too late.Earlier that morning, he had learned from Felix that Vit
"I'm not joking," Henry said calmly.Caleb was stunned. Henry did not look like he was joking; he did not need to do that.However, Caleb did not understand it. He said, "Why don't you deal with the Heartless Clan's masters first?""There's no worry about them.""No need?" Caleb was stunned."Yes.""Why?""I've already taken care of them.""You've taken care of them? How is that possible?"Caleb shook his head when he said that. He said, "Forget it. That has nothing to do with me anyway! After all, I'm already a useless person.""Yes, you're a useless person now. But don't forget—I was the one who disabled you. Since I can do that, I can help you recover and improve your strength.""What? How is that possible?"Caleb stared at Henry closely. There was hope in his eyes when he saw how serious Henry looked. "Are you telling the truth?""Of course. I can help you now if you want to recover," Henry said calmly."That...that..." One would only know how precious everything was
Even though Caleb was injured by Henry, and he resented Henry, the situation was due to his own fault. He could not blame others.Caleb was extremely grateful; Henry had helped him out of kindness."Do you believe me now?" Henry said lightly."I believe you."I was ignorant and didn't know much about the Master of Golden Liberty's power."From now onward, I won't hesitate to fulfill your orders."Caleb was not stupid. Henry was not related to him, and they were not friends. Henry even had a grudge against him. However, the man had decided to help him. It was apparent that Henry needed him for something."Very good. However, I don't need you to do anything. I'll give you a great fortune instead.""What? A great fortune?" Caleb was stunned. He then remembered that Henry said he would give him a great fortune. Caleb's expression trembled."You'll replace Vito and take control of the Hoods' resources."Not only did Vito try to kill me multiple times, he had also done many evil th
"Alright, it's settled then. I hope you won't let me down." Henry's eyes were sharp."I won't," Caleb said.Given the plan was already in place, he would not survive if he could not execute it properly."Alright."Henry stood up and left.Caleb stood up, knelt on one knee, and said, "Farewell, Master of Golden Liberty."Henry left the ward without looking back.Two people were standing at the door. Felix was one of them, and he looked shocked and frightened.The other person was Herwig.When Felix saw Henry, his face changed drastically. What was Henry doing there? Was he there to kill Caleb?If that were the case, Felix would probably be killed, too.Felix panicked when he thought of that.Fortunately, Henry only glanced at him, then turned around and left without saying anything.Herwig withdrew his aura and trailed behind Henry.Henry had not bothered to say a word to Felix. Such a rubbish person was not worthy of his time and words.Not long after Henry left the ward
