"It's nothing important. I just wanted to invite you for lunch this afternoon. I would like to thank you for your help and apologize for what my son did.""That's not necessary. I have forgotten about it anyway.""You are such a generous person for forgiving him. However, I will feel bad if I don't invite you for a meal."When Henry heard that, he gave it a thought. Since he did not want to stay at the Millers, he said, "Alright, I'll be there.""Great, shall I pick you up in the afternoon?""No, just send me the address."Richard agreed and then sent him the address of Four Seasons Restaurant immediately.Even though his wife admitted she was wrong to Richard, she disagreed with her husband's high regard for Henry. She said, "Even though he helped us greatly, you are the second most important person in Hodbridge. Do you have to do this?"Their son Derek was also present, and he could not agree more with his mother. However, following the incident the previous night, he was hes
Lewis and the others were startled. Lewis was so surprised that he nearly died.Damn it! What kind of luck did the poor bumpkin have?Such a beautiful woman was in a relationship with him.His fiancée, Lydia, was also a stunning lady. Even though Lydia would leave him, they were still husband and wife.Lydia was not sure how she felt about that. She was unhappy and annoyed as if others had taken away her belongings.She stepped forward and scolded angrily, "Henry, do you know what you are doing?"Henry looked calm as he replied, "Of course I do. I'm here for lunch. What's wrong? You can come out for lunch, and I can't?""Henry, what are you talking about? Are you here for lunch? You are cheating on Lydia," Sarah scolded him."This is none of your business." Despite Sarah's voluptuous figure and beautiful appearance, Henry no longer had a favorable impression of her."You!""Henry!"Lydia was angry. "I did not expect you to be such a person. Let's go!"She walked in quickly
"Thank you so much for your help yesterday. My mother wanted to thank you personally, but it is still rather inconvenient for her to come here due to her condition."Anyway, we are grateful for your help. This toast is for you."Richard downed his drink in one gulp after he said that."You are welcome, Mayor Miles."Henry finished his glass of wine and smiled. "It's not difficult for Grandma Miles's body to recover quickly. Let me prescribe a few medicines for her; her health will return to normal after consuming the medicine for a week.""Really? That's great. Thank you so much, Doctor Truman. This is another toast for you."Richard's expression was filled with joy. His effort in planning the luncheon had not been in vain.He immediately looked at his wife and son.Sandy saw him looking at her. Even though she felt embarrassed, she still raised her glass and said, "Doctor Truman, I apologize for offending you yesterday. That was childish of me. Please forgive me. Please take t
Sarah also noticed that. She saw the group of people barged into the room. She immediately understood what that was about. The bastard that Lewis had dealt with must have returned to seek vengeance.However, she believed that there would be no problem with Lewis present, no matter how strong they were.She said, "Lydia is in trouble, and I must leave now. Henry, don't run away if you are a capable person. Come in and see if you can help."She quickly walked inside after saying that.Henry had no option; he could not leave. He was unaffected by what Sarah had said earlier. He was concerned, however, that they would be unable to handle the large crowd, potentially injuring his wife.He was angry at Lydia because he was annoyed by her complete trust in Lewis. It was not a major issue.At that moment, everyone in the room applauded Lewis' bravery.That made Lewis very proud.Luiz Spencer was one of the people there with Lydia. He was the same person who had been kicked out of the b
As everyone praised Lewis, he became even more arrogant. He snorted coldly, "All of you better kneel and apologize now, then leave immediately. Otherwise, I will make sure you can't walk out of here.""Great, that's great. After all these years, you are the first young man to dare speak to me in such a manner."The young man was furious. He stepped forward immediately and punched hard.Lewis' heart trembled just looking at the speed and force of the punch. The young man was incredibly powerful. He had no chance to react; all he felt was a sharp pain in his chest.He was hit and flew backward.Lewis felt severe pain in his chest.The young man did not care at all. He took another step forward and stepped on Lewis."Argh!" Lewis screamed.Everyone was completely silent. All of them were stunned and speechless.Everyone thought Lewis was extremely powerful. They did not expect him to be defeated by that young man's single punch and kick.Lewis was in agony as he angrily exclaime
Hans regained his thoughts and arrogantly said, "I am very fair. Since you hit my brother, monetary compensation is definitely unavoidable."I won't ask for much—just three million dollars. That's not too much, right?""No, not much at all."When Lewis heard that, he quietly sighed with relief. He was afraid earlier that Hans would demand an exorbitant amount. Three million to solve all the problems was a great deal."Alright, the second demand.""There is a second demand?""What's wrong? Your friend touched my brother's woman, doesn't it matter?" Hans' expression turned cold and murderous instantly."No, no," Lewis said cautiously."Alright then. Let's do this. Your friend touched my brother's woman. Using the same logic, she shall come to accompany me. We can call it even then."Hans pointed at Lydia as he spoke.Lydia's face darkened when she heard those words.Lewis was unwilling to do that. He immediately said, "This has nothing to do with her. How about we try another
"What's wrong? You want to save her?"You can do that. You just need to accompany me, and I'll let her go."Hans became increasingly arrogant and evil, even pinching Lydia's face with his right hand."Go away!"Lydia slapped his hand away before falling back a few steps. She felt distraught and helpless.Lewis felt offended. He had always been worshiped by everyone, but he felt utterly useless then. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Hans, please don't do this..."Hans slapped him and cursed, "Shut up, get the hell out of here. If you continue to speak nonsense, I will kill you."Lewis covered his painful cheek and dared not say a single word."Well, I thought you were tough? You are just a loser, a coward," Hans said with arrogance.Lewis looked embarrassed. He felt so horrible when everyone looked at him.Lydia's face was full of despair. She was thinking about Henry for some reason at the time.Even if Henry were here, he might not care much about her. He would save
Damn it!How dare he say such bold words?Lydia burst into tears; the rest were nearly the same.As expected, those words infuriated Hans, who had been teasing everyone. He said with a sinister expression, "Young man, you are asking for death.""Don't blame me for being cruel when you are in hell."He stepped forward as soon as he finished speaking.At the time, his speed was much faster, and his attacks were more brutal. He was prepared to kill and was aiming for the most critical spots.However, he quickly realized that his opponent was even faster.Lewis and the others shook their heads discreetly when they saw that.He was about to die. He deserved it because he was ignorant and fearless.Lydia's eyes were filled with anticipation. She looked at both of them intently.That was because she knew Henry was a skilled fighter. She was not sure how his skills compared to Hans'.Bang!Hans rushed over quickly but was knocked down even faster.Everyone almost failed to grasp
