Cecilia and Lora were filled with worry and helplessness. They had considered trying to stop Henry from crippling Keith, fearing the wrath of the Hoods.However, given Keith's treacherous nature, intervening would have been pointless. At that point, there was no turning back.As expected, Keith screamed in pain and glared at Henry with intense hatred. He knew better than to retaliate, but he would report that to Denny as soon as he left. He vowed to make Henry suffer unimaginable torment.The surrounding onlookers kept silent. No one expected that the gentle young man who accompanied the two beautiful women could be so ruthless.On the other hand, it was clear that Keith was obviously up to no good and had encountered someone genuinely formidable."Get up and fuck off now!" Henry commanded coldly.Dealing with someone like Keith was nothing to him and was not worth mentioning. The real challenge was ensuring the safety of the two women by dealing with the people backing Keith.T
Cecilia and Lora had heard enough about the power of the Hoods Group and the Black Tiger Gang, so they were genuinely scared of the Hoods. Two of them kept talking, barely giving Henry a chance to speak. Finally, he could get a word in."Are you done?"They nodded reluctantly."Alright, listen up. Don't worry. The Hoods are no match for me," Henry said confidently.He wanted to mention that he already owned the Hood Group but decided against it, given they were in public, and the reputations of the Black Tiger Gang and the Hood Group were not exactly great.The way he spoke made it seem like he did not take the Hoods seriously, which was hard for the two women to believe. They exchanged glances, thinking Henry was trying to comfort them."Forget about them. Let's dig in," Henry said. He stood up to handle the thugs to avoid ruining their meal.Just then, a middle-aged woman who owned the place walked forward."Sir, those people just now looked dangerous. I saw them making phone
Henry was dumbfounded by the two women's actions.Sitting across from him, Lora raised her glass and said, "Henry, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time, but I never got the chance.""Maybe you should keep it to yourself then," Henry responded, already guessing what she was about to confess."No, I have to say it today!" Lora insisted, her emotions running high."I'm afraid I might never get another chance."She took a deep breath and said, "Henry, I like you. I've always liked you!"Since the day I accompanied you to collect a debt, you've captivated me. With each subsequent time you've helped me, my feelings for you have only grown stronger."But it seems like you've never noticed my feelings. And I've always chickened out from confessing. I realized I was nothing when I found out you were with Lydia. I wasn't good enough for you."I tried to move on, but I couldn't. I liked you too much. If I couldn't be with you, I'd rather stay single for the rest
Cecilia was just as emotional as she said, "Lora and I like you a lot, even though we know there's no future with you. But we're willing to give ourselves to you!"Don't worry, we won't ask you to take responsibility; Lora feels the same way."So tonight, let the two of us take care of you. Please!"Henry was utterly shocked.The people around them, who had been quietly listening, were just as stunned, in disbelief at what they were hearing.Unable to hide their jealousy, some men in the crowd looked at Henry with murderous envy. A few even thought of trying their luck with the two women but quickly abandoned the idea as they remembered how intimidating Henry had been earlier."Henry—" Cecilia's body swayed slightly, and Henry quickly stood up to help her.She wrapped her arms around him, holding on tightly, and even tried to kiss him.Henry was caught off guard but quickly said, "Alright, let's talk about that when we get back.""Okay." Cecilia nodded."We're staying in Flor
Before Henry could react, Cecilia had pushed him onto the bed. Her soft body pressed against his. Her subtle fragrance and warmth were overwhelming.Her delicate face was enough to intoxicate any man. However, Cecilia kissed him, soft and eager, which really set him on fire.Henry could not help but respond to Cecilia's kiss. His hands moved on their own, exploring Cecilia's body.Cecilia's cheeks flushed even more, and she started moaning. Before he knew it, Henry found himself on top, with Cecilia's clothes already slipping away, revealing her smooth, pale skin.The commotion must have stirred Lora, who moved closer, ending up right beside Cecilia. She tugged at her collar, revealing a more alluring sight.Then, a sharp ringing sound broke through the haze, snapping Henry back to reality. He looked down at Cecilia and Lora. He quickly pulled himself up, his heart racing. As much as those two beautiful women tempted him, he knew he could not do it.He hurriedly stood up and saw
Henry felt awkward after hearing Cecilia's words and apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that just now.""I know. I was the one who approached you first," Cecilia said calmly."Henry, do you find me that unappealing?"Henry avoided her gaze and shook his head. "It's not that. You're beautiful and talented, and your character is exceptional. But you know, I'm already committed to someone.""I understand that, but I told you. I don't expect you to take responsibility," she replied."You might not expect me to, but I can't do that. If I were the kind of person who'd take advantage of a situation like that, you wouldn't even want to be friends with me," Henry responded.Cecilia fell silent for a moment, realizing that Henry was right. After all, his integrity made her like him even more. Since Henry tried to distance himself, she dared not push further."Alright, I'll go back and rest," she said.Cecilia's concern for the Hoods made her anxious, and she urged Henry to leave
"Who are you exactly?" Denny demanded, struggling beneath Henry's foot."You should know—I'm a senior of the Black Tiger Gang," Denny said, boasting."The Black Tiger Gang controls all of Eastonia. We have the Hoods backing us."Despite being stepped on, Denny's pride remained intact. His anger and arrogance were evident as he shouted, "You're making a grave mistake.""Seems like you're still not convinced," Henry said coldly. He pulled out his phone and dialed Caleb's number.Even though it was late, Caleb was busy handling numerous matters, especially since he had to take over everything from Vito. He had kept Barry alive due to his significant role as Vito's son, but dealing with the Black Tiger Gang was pressing.When Caleb received Henry's call, he answered respectfully, "Master!"Henry was momentarily surprised by the address but decided not to comment. Instead, he turned and asked Denny, "What's your name?"Denny proudly said, "I'm Denny Bonner, a senior of the Black Tig
Henry shook his head and kicked Denny again, sending him crashing into the corner of the wall."Why aren't you answering your phone?" Henry frowned. He was not interested in wasting time and needed to ensure that Denny and his men were utterly deterred from causing any further trouble.When Denny heard he could answer the call, he quickly picked it up.On the other end, Felix's angry voice boomed. "Denny, are you trying to get yourself killed? How dare you provoke Master?""Master?" Denny was confused. He wondered if Felix meant Vito, but it seemed unlikely."Yes, the young man before you. You'd better make amends immediately, or even I'd be in serious trouble."Felix's tone was furious. "Even a hundred Hood family leaders could not stand against him."Denny was utterly dumbfounded by Felix's words, as he had described Henry as an influential figure. He wondered if Henry was a young master from a formidable family in Aurelia City.Realizing his mistake, Denny's face turned pale
