Everyone was furious, and Harvey was no exception.However, he understood the massive influence Aaron wielded in Redhoc. The Pierson would be finished if Aaron decided to move against them with full force.Yet, Harvey could not fathom how they had offended someone as powerful as Henry. The Piersons were not reckless—there was no way they would knowingly provoke such a figure.Just then, Aden's phone rang. It was Brad. He stood up instantly, addressing the caller with great respect. "Governor!""How's the progress with the partnership?" Brad inquired, aware of Aaron's immense wealth and his connections to the Golden Liberty. Aaron's investments in Eastonia would significantly boost the city's development and reflect well on Brad's future promotions.Aden quickly recounted the situation. "There's been an issue. Aaron has been arrogant and completely disregards us due to his connection to the Master of Golden Liberty. I reprimanded him harshly for his audacity."And as for that Mast
"You can't do it, you fucking piece of shit?"Why don't you try me?" Henry frowned, shaking his head at Deric's arrogance."Fine, you're asking for it!" Deric was eager to show off. He had taken a few lessons from some martial arts instructors, though his laziness and lack of discipline meant he had not learned anything significant."Step forward, one-on-one. We're not stopping unless someone begs for mercy," Deric declared arrogantly."Alright," Henry replied and stepped forward.Michael and the others hesitated, and they decided not to interfere. After all, they might anger Deric, which would only harm Austin.Deric's excitement grew as Henry walked forward. However, before he could smile, Henry stepped closer and slapped him hard.A crisp sound echoed, and everyone was stunned."You...you sucker-punched me!" Deric stammered, his cheek throbbing in pain, torn between shock and rage.Another slap landed on Deric's face."What about now?" Henry replied calmly.Deric was left
After all, Deric was already miserable. With a look of fury and arrogance, Deric shouted, "Dream on! I'll never beg you for mercy.""Very well. Then I'll just break another hand," Henry responded calmly, moving his foot over Deric's hand without hesitation.Crack!Deric screamed."Stop!" Michael was frantic, shouting at the top of his lungs. He turned to Cecilia and pleaded, "Cecilia, why are you just standing there? Stop him!"Remembering Deric's arrogance and insults toward Henry, Cecilia coldly replied, "He brought that onto himself. Why should I stop Henry?""How can you be so reckless? We'll be dragged into this. We're done for!"Amy also looked stricken, as she never expected the situation to spiral so far out of control.Meanwhile, Henry was surprised by Austin, who declared loudly, "Let it be! I can't stand Deric, either. I'm sorry you got dragged into this because of me, Cecilia."Don't worry, Dad, Mom. I'll face this alone.""Don't be ridiculous," Michael said."Do
Aaron thought he might have been mistaken, but with his sharp memory, he quickly confirmed it. He could never forget the Master of Golden Liberty.The Master of Golden Liberty was a legendary and powerful figure for everyone in the Golden Liberty.Henry, noticing the server's hesitation, said calmly, "Put them down. Don't call the police. If you need to inform anyone, just let your boss know.""Understood!" she replied, nodded, and carefully left the room.After all, her boss had given her strict orders about that private room, emphasizing the guests' importance. With Henry's words, she was not about to question anything, especially since the restaurant belonged to the Sky Avenue Group, and Henry was the heir to the group.Aaron, who had followed the server into the room, remained silent. He ignored the confused gazes from the others and kept his eyes fixed on Henry.When the server left, he finally bowed and addressed Henry respectfully, "Master of Golden Liberty!"Michael and
Henry was kind to his men. Aaron, initially taken aback, was soon filled with excitement."A bottle from 1945? That's extraordinarily rare! I heard it once sold for over 450,000 dollars at auction!"Deric was utterly stunned. A fan of fine wine, he was well aware of the value they were discussing. He realized that Henry might indeed be incredibly wealthy; maybe only his father, Tommy, could handle Henry.The Leons were similarly dumbfounded. Even if those wines were gifted to him, it indicated that Henry held considerable status—high enough for people to give him such presents.Michael would not have believed any of that initially, but Henry's action had left him no room for doubt.'Does Henry have a prominent background? Can he help us?' Michael thought.Michael glanced at Cecilia, who seemed unsurprised by any of that. He felt he had utterly misjudged Henry's strength. If that was the case, he needed to find a way to make amends.Suddenly, Deric's phone rang. Deric's face pale
"What?" Deric's face paled. He could not believe what his father had just said. Their family had offended an extremely powerful person and was even about to be destroyed.Wait—did his father mention something about the Master of Golden Liberty?Did the man earlier call Henry the Master of Golden Liberty? Was he the Master of Golden Liberty?That was impossible!Deric could not accept that. He asked, "Father, the person you're talking about, Master of Golden Liberty—who is he?""Well, the Master of Golden Liberty is a very mysterious person. I've only heard of his name. However, as the Master of Golden Liberty, his strength and status are extremely powerful. Even Aaron has to obey his orders."Furthermore, the rumor is that the new Master of Golden Liberty took the position recently. He's very young," Tommy said bitterly.Tommy did not understand when he had provoked the Master of Golden Liberty. He had not offended any powerful person recently.However, his son's tone did not s
Tommy was so anxious that reacting took him a while. Was that Aaron's voice? He immediately shouted, "Aaron! Aaron, it's me, Tommy! Please answer the call!"Aaron and everyone else heard that—the call was on the loudspeaker.Deric was stunned. Of course, he knew the person on the line was his father. However, why was his father calling for Aaron?Where was Aaron?Wait. Deric finally remembered something horrible. He had thought that the man in front of him looked familiar—Deric had seen him on the television once.He was the leader of Redhoc, Aaron.The one who hit him was Aaron, someone who could destroy the Pierson family with just a word.There was a rumor that Aaron was also a ruthless person. The Master of Golden Liberty was cruel, too. Deric was terrified; he started to slap himself harder.Both sides of his face were swollen.At the same time, Michael and his family were dumbfounded.The arrogant Deric had ended up in such a miserable state that he even kept begging fo
Cecilia felt relieved. Even though she knew that Henry could resolve the matter, she would only feel relieved when it was certain.Henry was awesome and handsome.It was a pity that he was not her boyfriend. She would laugh in her dreams if he were her boyfriend.Cecilia looked at her father again, secretly feeling proud. 'Now you know how awesome Henry is.'She thought it was necessary to apologize to Henry when she thought about her father's cruel words.Aaron heard Tommy calling for help in the call. He could not help but look at Henry.When Henry nodded, Aaron picked up the phone Deric had dropped and said, "What's the matter? Speak.""Yes, Aaron. I don't know what Deric has done. Please ask the Master of Golden Liberty for mercy, given that we've worked together."Please...please ask the Master of Golden Liberty to give us a chance. As long as he is willing to forgive Deric, I'm willing to pay any price," Tommy said.Aaron shook his head and said, "Tommy, if your son had
