Ray knew his dad would not call unless it were serious.He had not done anything wrong recently, so he wondered what was up.He stepped aside and quickly answered the call, "What's going on, Dad?"Before he could say more, Clark's angry voice said, "Do you have any idea what you're doing?""What do you mean, Dad?" Ray was stunned."Do you know who you've pissed off? That's the guy I warned you to never mess with. You'll be disowned if you don't fix this.""Dad, are you sure?" Ray could not believe that Henry was the Master of Golden Liberty."Absolutely! You think I'd joke about this? I had someone follow you, and I saw everything. You almost ruined us all!""How's that possible?" Ray exclaimed."If he hadn't held back, you and your stupid fellow friends would be dead. Henry is the Master of Golden Liberty. This is top secret; you can't let anyone know."If he gets mad, our whole family is over, and your friends might get dragged into it too."Get back there, beg for forgive
Ray was calling for backup. Those people would surely be terrifying and powerful.They were over.It might be useless to call Lydia, then. However, Maeve had to try, so she hurriedly called her cousin. Unfortunately, Lydia did not pick up.When Bell saw Maeve trying to make calls frantically, she sneered, "It's useless. No one you call can stand up to Ray. He's the second son of the Colemans. I warned you, but you didn't listen."Henry shook his head with a hint of mockery on his face. Maeve noticed his smile and yelled panically, "Henry, we're about to get in serious trouble. Why are you standing there smiling like an idiot instead of getting help?"Henry did not look worried. He even smiled mysteriously, saying, "Why panic? We'll soon find out who's the one going to die.""What do you mean?" Maeve asked desperately. She did not want her life to end there."Just wait until he comes back," Henry replied."He'll beat us up!" Maeve cried out."Or maybe he'll come back to apologi
Everyone noticed Ray, who was hurrying back. The rich kids smirked, clearly waiting to see Henry make a fool of himself.They had seen boastful people before, but none as ridiculous as Henry."Great, Ray is back. Let's see who's in trouble now," Bell sneered.Maeve's eyes were filled with fear. She looked at Henry and whispered, "What should we do, Henry?""Relax," Henry said calmly."He doesn't look like he's here to make us suffer. More like he's here to apologize."Maeve forced a bitter smile. She had no idea where Henry got his confidence from.The others laughed mockingly, especially Bell. As Ray approached, she immediately complained, "You're finally back, Ray. If you were any later, this guy would've gone wild. He said you were coming to apologize to him! He has no respect for you at all. Making him crawl under your legs would be a mercy."Ray had been thinking about what to say. He did not expect Maeve to start ranting as soon as he arrived, especially against Henry. In
"Please ignore my nonsense earlier. It's all my fault. I deserve whatever punishment you decide," Ray apologized repeatedly."I just hope you can forgive my recklessness and spare me a chance to make it up to you," Ray said.Their conversation left everyone else stunned. They wondered who Henry was and how he could make Ray so terrified.Wade was dumbfounded. He knew he had angered Henry.'Damn it! It was all because of that woman,' he thought.Bell was shocked and could not believe what was happening. She scrambled and blurted out, "You must be mistaken, Ray. This guy looks like a poor loser in cheap clothes. How could he be—""Shut the fuck up!" Ray shouted angrily."Do you ever know when to be quiet?" He slapped her again, then kicked her to the ground.Usually, Henry would have disapproved of such treatment of a woman, but he remained indifferent. It was because Bell was detestable. He would have done it himself if it were not due to his principles.Meanwhile, Maeve was sh
"Yes, yes, you can do whatever you want. Even if you beat her to death, I'll take full responsibility," Ray quickly said."Please, I beg you. Please give me a chance for the sake of us being classmates before. I'll be grateful forever," Bell pleaded."Didn't you say having me as a classmate was your biggest shame? You're begging that shame to save you?" Maeve felt a surge of anger as she recalled the humiliation earlier."I was wrong. I was stupid. I'm sorry. You can beat or scold me. Just please, spare me." Bell's tears streamed down her face as she begged.Maeve was full of resentment. She wanted to humiliate Bell in return. However, she could not bring herself to be harsh. She shook her head and said, "Fine. I won't hold what you did against me, and I won't do anything to you. But I can't help beyond that."It meant she would forgive Bell but would not plead on her behalf.Bell understood and quickly turned to Henry. "Mr. Truman, I was wrong, you—""Enough!" Henry interrupted
As soon as Henry called out the person's name, the faces of those around him changed drastically. They were not ordinary people and could quickly identify who was on the call—a powerful officer with significant authority. The ease with which Henry made the call stunned everyone.Even Ray, who had only heard about Henry's influence from his dad, was shocked. The direct connection to such a high-ranking officer proved Henry's incredible power.Upon understanding what had happened, Richard immediately said, "Dr. Truman, rest assured, I'll personally oversee this matter and conduct a thorough investigation into the traffic police department. As for Leroy, he will be duly rewarded for his actions.""Good!" Henry responded."Can you hand the phone to Leroy?" Richard asked."Of course," Henry replied, then handed the phone to Leroy."Mr. Miles wants to speak with you.""Mr. Miles?" Leroy asked.Henry smiled. "Mr. Richard Miles.""Ah!" Leroy was stunned. His hands trembled as he took
After some polite greetings and apologies, Chris said, "Mr. Truman, we've sorted out the responsibilities for the accident. Bell is primarily at fault and will cover all the compensation. If you have any requests, just let us know."It was clear that Chen was trying to smooth things over and reduce the consequences for Ray.Henry, not particularly interested in the compensation, said calmly, "The compensation can be handled as it should. But they kept insulting me, which needs to be addressed."Ray's face turned pale, but he did not dare to argue.He asked cautiously, "How can we make that up for you, Mr. Truman?""It's simple. You wanted us to crawl between your legs earlier. Now, I want you two to do the same. I've always been a man of my word, and you can't expect me to go back on it now," Henry replied.Ray's face turned ashen. Crawling between someone's legs in public would be utterly humiliating. He glared at Bell, thinking it was all her fault for suggesting it in the firs
Maeve grew anxious, thinking Henry was too showy.However, to everyone's surprise, although Chris' expression changed slightly, he quickly hid any displeasure and said, "Yes, yes, you're right, Mr. Truman. I'm not anyone worthy. Please handle Ray however you see fit."That shocked everyone present.Maeve was even more starstruck, thinking about Henry's extraordinary nature. Losing someone like him would be a huge mistake.Despite his bitterness, Ray saw the helpless look in Chris's eyes and realized he had no choice. He had heard enough from his grandfather about the terrifying power of the Master of Golden Liberty. He knew if he did not comply, not only would he suffer, but his entire family might be doomed."I'll do as you say, Mr. Truman," Ray said reluctantly."What are you waiting for then? Get on with it. I'm homesick and hungry."With no other option, Ray glared at Bell and said, "You go first!"Bell looked around helplessly and asked softly, "From whom should I start?"
