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
"Don't worry. He's interested in the cosmetics industry. Furthermore, the research team you hired is extremely capable, and the skincare products they created are excellent," Sarah said."I hope so." Lydia sighed.The Millers had been experiencing a particularly difficult time, with the real estate market becoming increasingly sluggish. Lydia advocated for cosmetics, a new industry. After all, as a woman, she knew that women's money was easy to earn, but the key was to have high-quality products. She had already invested over 15 million in that venture. If there were no positive outcomes, it would most likely all be for naught.Less than 30 minutes after they arrived, First Young Master Jones, Fyman Jones, arrived. Sarah immediately contacted Lydia to welcome Fyman. After all, he was First Young Master Jones! The Joneses' empire spanned multiple industries and was extremely powerful. They were one of the four great families of Hodbridge.When Fyman first saw Lydia, he could not tak
Sarah, who was on the sidelines, said, "Lydia had reached her limit, Young Master Jones. Why don't we finish these three glasses, and we'll talk about cooperation afterward?"Lydia heard that and realized she could not hold out much longer after three glasses. She was unable to refute Sarah's suggestion, though. After some thought, she decided she could get by with just three glasses.Fyman noticed Sarah's signal and said, "Alright, three glasses it is."He did not explicitly agree but instead started a discussion.Lydia nodded, and Fyman agreed. Sarah filled a glass for her, and she picked it up, ready to drink it all in one go. Then, someone pushed the door open, capturing everyone's attention right away."Don't force yourself, Lydia. Three glasses, right? I'll drink for you!"Henry had hurried over. That restaurant belonged to the Seltzers, and he had run into Dustin. It was simple to determine which private room Lydia was in.Sarah's expression soured when she saw Henry. She
