All Chapters of Hidden Monarch: The Silent Resurgence: Chapter 1201 - Chapter 1210

"Of course, anytime!" Henry responded eagerly."Why don't I come over later?" he said."That would be best. I'll have someone meet you at the entrance," Brad replied quickly."Alright," Henry said, hanging up the phone and preparing to leave. Just then, a charming and captivating voice reached his ears. "Young Master!"It was Emily!Her voice was so enchanting that even passersby turned to look, and one man, clearly mesmerized by her beauty, walked straight into a lamppost!"I was just about to call you when I saw you," Emily said, her face lit up with a radiant smile, making her even more alluring.Even though she had mentioned that she had reserved a room for Henry in the apartment she bought, she had not left a key. She understood that the space was meant for Henry and Lydia."What's up?" Henry asked, trying to suppress the stirrings within him."Nothing much. I missed you and wanted to see you," Emily replied, her eyes brimming with charm that could captivate anyone."Sto

Henry remained courteous and approachable.In stark contrast, Celia had a condescending attitude. She treated everyone as her subordinates, issued orders with a haughty demeanor, and spewed harsh words. She showed no respect for them, even going so far as to threaten to have their superiors removed from their positions.If it were not for Chris' good temperament, Leroy might have lashed back at her, even if it meant risking his job.Celia's overbearing and arrogant manner had made her universally disliked among the officers. Unfortunately, the Hoods' powerful influence meant that many higher-ups had to be excessively polite and respectful to her.Henry shook his head and said calmly, "Officer McPherson, there's no rush. We still have plenty of time.""Yes, yes, I just got a bit ahead of myself," Leroy replied with a wry smile, silently praying that Celia would not come out. If she did, a confrontation seemed inevitable, given her temperament.However, fate had its own plans. Celi

Henry chuckled innocently. "I'm just defending myself?""That's right!" Leroy firmly said; he could not hold back any longer."Mr. Truman's actions were entirely in self-defense."Chris nodded in approval at Leroy. That young man had potential and could be promoted with proper training."Nonsense! I didn't even touch him," Celia fumed. She had been slapped for nothing."But you made a move and were about to harm him. In such a case, self-defense is completely justified. Of course, if Mr. Truman continued hitting you, that would be different," Leroy said.Celia was infuriated. "Bullshit! What's your name? How dare you twist the facts? I can have your uniform stripped right now!"Leroy's face turned cold. He was about to respond when Chris stepped in."No, you don't," Chris said icily."You can't do that!""The Hoods are powerful, but that doesn't give you the right to act lawlessly!" Chris said."How dare you speak to me like this? It seems you no longer wish to be the chief,

"You truly are impressive, Celia," Henry said with a hint of sarcasm."Of course, but it's too late now. You'll see how pathetic and miserable it is to cross me," Celia sneered.Sensing an opportunity, Henry said, "It seems you're very confident. Why don't we make a bet?""A bet?" Celia was intrigued."Yes. If I beat Caleb, you'll give me 1.5 billion dollars.""One point five billion dollars? Do you even know how much that is, kid? What do you have to offer in return?" Celia laughed, convinced he was either crazy or utterly ignorant. Even Vito would not dare to wager such an amount."My life—if I lose, you can do whatever you want with it," Henry stated calmly.Celia burst into laughter. "Do you really think your worthless life is worth 1.5 billion dollars?""Then forget the bet. Let's just fight," Henry replied nonchalantly.However, Celia took the bait."No, let's bet."Caleb was concerned and tried to interject. "Celia—""Don't worry, I trust you," Celia said, cutting hi

Celia was momentarily stunned to see Caleb's resentful look. She did not understand why he was glaring at her. After all, she had not been the one to strike him. She turned to Henry, who remained unscathed and composed.'What happened? Caleb was clearly in the advantage at the start,' Celia thought."Enough talking. When are you going to pay the 1.5 billion dollars?" Henry asked calmly."You're cheating; it's not valid!" Celia retorted."Is that so?" Henry's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint as he approached Celia, his voice cold."It seemed the lesson from this morning wasn't enough.""W...what are you going to do? Don't forget, we're right next to the police station! Help! Help!"Slap!"Argh!"Celia let out a pained cry, blood dripping from her mouth.Henry sneered, "Who said not to call the police? I'll ask you one last time—1.5 billion dollars. Are you paying or not?""Yes, we'll pay!" Celia, frightened by Henry, agreed immediately."Good. You probably can't come up w
