Henry put down his phone and said, "I have other matters to attend to. Since everything is settled here, we'll head back now.""Okay, Henry. Please go ahead. Next time, I'll treat you to dinner," Winson responded immediately. While he wished to engage in a more in-depth conversation, he could not rush into things.Derek was annoyed. Winson had spoken the words he wanted to say."Let's go, Cheryl," Henry said nothing else before leading Cheryl out.After they got into the car, he said, "Pack up your mother's and your belongings after you return and move into the bungalow.""Huh? No, Henry. The bungalow is yours. We—""It'll just be empty anyway. You might as well make use of it," Henry said.Cheryl realized what was happening and asked, "Henry, are you trying to trick me right now? Did you want to buy me a bungalow?"Henry sighed, unsure how to respond."Of course you are, Henry. Why are you being so nice to me?" Cheryl fixed her gaze on Henry, convinced he liked her. Some weal
Jeffery was about to nod in agreement when the butler stepped forward and said, "Mr. Truman will arrive soon, Mr. Ford.""What? He's already here? Let's go. We'll wait for him at the entrance," Jeffrey exclaimed.Jeffery got up quickly and led his entourage to the villa entrance, where they stood and waited.Bowen and Sebastian were stunned, but after a brief hesitation, they followed suit. They stood behind the entrance, waiting to see who the important person was.Jeffery had not shooed them away, so Bowen and Sebastian saw the opportunity to speak with the important guest as an excellent opportunity for advancement.Jeffery was someone everyone looked up to. Even the city's bigwigs were not treated like that. They wondered who could be important enough to warrant such a lavish reception.However, after a short wait, the person still had not arrived. Jeffery furrowed his brow and asked the butler.It turned out that Henry remembered something and stopped for a short while, hen
Sebastian could not help but feel nervous as Henry's gaze swept over him. Henry had already begun walking inside when Sebastian came to his senses.Bowen exchanged a glance with Sebastian before following suit.The others also followed them inside.Jeffery frowned as he looked at those who had followed him inside. "Wait for us in the living room. I have a matter to discuss with Mr. Truman."Everyone agreed, even Bowen and Sebastian. Despite their curiosity about what Jeffery and Henry would talk about, they did not dare defy Jeffery's instructions.Henry walked straight inside and soon arrived at the detention area led by Jeffery. The guard was someone Henry had expected—the master of Transformative Force he had defeated previously. It seemed Jeffery wanted to be perfectly safe.Meanwhile, Ryan and Lewis wore forlorn expressions in the detention area. They had assumed they could flee Hodbridge safely and leave Aurelia behind. They did not expect Jeffery to pursue them; he even us
"Let me know the amount," Ryan said. However, Lewis was shocked and fearful. Ryan did not recognize Henry, but Lewis did. Jeffery's attitude toward Henry made it clear that Henry's identity was extraordinary.If that were the case, everything would make sense.It was all because of Henry!"Do you still have the money you swindled?" Henry asked lightly. He thought the money had already been transferred overseas and could not be recovered."Who are you?" Ryan asked. Even though he had seen Jeffery with Henry, he felt something was off.After all, Henry was very young."How dare you arrange assassins to kill me repeatedly? And you don't even know me?" Henry shook his head."Kill you?" Ryan was stunned."Dad, he's Henry!" Lewis immediately said."What!" Ryan was dumbfounded. That young man was the Henry they had been trying to kill.Everything seemed clear. However, he had no idea why Jeffery would treat the young man like that.Ryan could not help but ask, "What has he given yo
Lewis appeared pitiful, but Henry clearly had no sympathy for him, saying, "Weren't you acting all high and mighty before, always boasting about being superior?"Why are you kneeling and apologizing to me, a lowly person, now?" Lewis had put aside his humiliation and begged for mercy. "I've been ignorant and was unaware of your extraordinary abilities. But now I'm kneeling before you in repentance.""Don't worry! I'll never bother Lydia again—"Before Lewis could finish his sentence, Henry kicked him hard and sent him flying to the side. Lewis collapsed to the ground, sweating from the pain. However, he did not mind the pain; he got up quickly, even though his bound hands were inconvenient."You're not worthy of mentioning Lydia's name," Henry spoke coldly after the kick."Yes, I understand. I'll explain everything to Ms. Miller and ensure she understands your intentions," Lewis said. He recognized that he had caused numerous misunderstandings between Henry and Lydia."Forget i
However, he never got the command from Henry.Ryan was nearly scared to death. In a trembling voice, he said, "No! I'll tell you everything!"Jeffery had to stop. He asked coldly, "Where's the money, and how do we get it back?""The funds have already been transferred to my offshore account. I need to go there in person to transfer it out," Ryan replied quickly."So troublesome?""It's the only way. It's my life-saving measure," Ryan explained. Given Ryan's circumstances, it seemed entirely reasonable, and Jeffery believed him. However, Henry frowned and said, "I can't wait for such trouble. Forget the money; kill him!"'Damn it! Kill me?' Ryan was about to go insane.He said, "Wait! All you have to do is send someone with me. Once we arrive, we can transfer the funds.""How much?" Henry asked."About 75 million dollars!""Only 75 million dollars?""That's all I have—everything I scammed and my own money. There were plenty of greased palms in between.""The amount is not wo
Ryan and Lewis were shocked. The Brandon Group was disorganized and in debt. Whoever took over would be in trouble, but they might be able to get out of debt. It was a massive opportunity, and Henry was willing to trade it for their lives."It's not a problem at all; I can afford it," Henry replied casually, while Jeffery smiled bitterly and felt helpless.Maybe Henry had his own reasons.Ryan could not believe his luck. He said, "Do you really want the Brandon Group, Mr. Truman?""Yes!" Henry said. There was no lingering resentment between them, and he had no time to argue with them.The reason for acquiring Brandon Group was that it would be revitalized once the provincial government's decision became public. The authorities would almost certainly seize control even if Brandon Group went bankrupt. However, the news had yet to be made public. So he wanted to take over Brandon Group before word spread."However, the Brandon Group is currently facing bankruptcy. If you take over,
The Brandon Group's missing 300 million dollars would mostly be recovered. The people from Golden Liberty had already apprehended someone and confirmed that most of the money was still intact.Furthermore, the vast wasteland near East City would contribute to the Brandon Group's revival.No one would have expected such a remote and polluted area, with a nearby garbage dump, to be chosen as the development site for a new district, let alone the core area of a new city. That abandoned land, which the Brandon Group was about to discard, would quickly become a moneymaker.Bowen and Sebastian had not departed. They could not pass up such a rare opportunity. They had waited quite some time. Fortunately, Henry and Jeffery eventually made it out.Jeffery said, "You haven't left yet, Bowen?""Hey, Jeffery, I would also like to meet your important guest."Hello, Mr. Truman. It's nice to meet you. I'm Bowen York. I'm in the jewelry business." Bowen shamelessly went up to meet them.After a
