All Chapters of Hidden Monarch: The Silent Resurgence: Chapter 1401 - Chapter 1410

"And you, Cecilia!"Do you really think you're a goddess? I gave you a chance, but you refused it. Well, don't blame me for what comes next," Deric sneered coldly."Austin, blame your sister for this. Prepare 3 million dollars or get ready to go to jail."In his anger, he failed to think through what was really happening.Everyone's faces turned grim.Michael quickly pleaded, "Young Master Pierson, let's talk this through. That has nothing to do with us. We've always supported you.""Prove it then. Tell this guy to get lost right now," Deric said, pointing coldly at Henry.Michael looked at Henry, but before he could say anything, Cecilia exclaimed anxiously, "Dad, what's going on?"Michael did not answer but said, "Henry, you should leave. There's no way I'm letting you marry Cecilia. Young Master Pierson is the best match for her."Deric's face filled with smug satisfaction as he taunted, "See that? Did you really think bringing a couple of fake bottles of wine would make yo

Deric was smug as he watched everyone crumble under his control, especially Cecilia."Why did the amount go up again? I only borrowed 1.8 million dollars!" Austin could not help but fume.Austin realized he had been trapped, but he could do nothing about it.Deric sneered, "Don't you know that borrowing money comes with interest? I covered 3 million dollars for you for days—and 750,000 dollars in interest isn't that much. If it were someone else, I might've doubled it."Henry said, "Indeed. Doubling your money wouldn't be out of the question if you ran a casino like that. In fact, your family owns that casino, don't they?"Deric's face twitched, but he smiled coldly. "So what if we do? My family has the power to make money in no time.""Is it legal?" Henry asked.Deric's expression darkened momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure and retorted, "What can you do about it? Let me tell you, the Piersons make the law over here."Enough with the nonsense. Didn't you say yo

Everyone was furious, and Harvey was no exception.However, he understood the massive influence Aaron wielded in Redhoc. The Pierson would be finished if Aaron decided to move against them with full force.Yet, Harvey could not fathom how they had offended someone as powerful as Henry. The Piersons were not reckless—there was no way they would knowingly provoke such a figure.Just then, Aden's phone rang. It was Brad. He stood up instantly, addressing the caller with great respect. "Governor!""How's the progress with the partnership?" Brad inquired, aware of Aaron's immense wealth and his connections to the Golden Liberty. Aaron's investments in Eastonia would significantly boost the city's development and reflect well on Brad's future promotions.Aden quickly recounted the situation. "There's been an issue. Aaron has been arrogant and completely disregards us due to his connection to the Master of Golden Liberty. I reprimanded him harshly for his audacity."And as for that Mast

After all, Deric was already miserable. With a look of fury and arrogance, Deric shouted, "Dream on! I'll never beg you for mercy.""Very well. Then I'll just break another hand," Henry responded calmly, moving his foot over Deric's hand without hesitation.Crack!Deric screamed."Stop!" Michael was frantic, shouting at the top of his lungs. He turned to Cecilia and pleaded, "Cecilia, why are you just standing there? Stop him!"Remembering Deric's arrogance and insults toward Henry, Cecilia coldly replied, "He brought that onto himself. Why should I stop Henry?""How can you be so reckless? We'll be dragged into this. We're done for!"Amy also looked stricken, as she never expected the situation to spiral so far out of control.Meanwhile, Henry was surprised by Austin, who declared loudly, "Let it be! I can't stand Deric, either. I'm sorry you got dragged into this because of me, Cecilia."Don't worry, Dad, Mom. I'll face this alone.""Don't be ridiculous," Michael said."Do

Henry was kind to his men. Aaron, initially taken aback, was soon filled with excitement."A bottle from 1945? That's extraordinarily rare! I heard it once sold for over 450,000 dollars at auction!"Deric was utterly stunned. A fan of fine wine, he was well aware of the value they were discussing. He realized that Henry might indeed be incredibly wealthy; maybe only his father, Tommy, could handle Henry.The Leons were similarly dumbfounded. Even if those wines were gifted to him, it indicated that Henry held considerable status—high enough for people to give him such presents.Michael would not have believed any of that initially, but Henry's action had left him no room for doubt.'Does Henry have a prominent background? Can he help us?' Michael thought.Michael glanced at Cecilia, who seemed unsurprised by any of that. He felt he had utterly misjudged Henry's strength. If that was the case, he needed to find a way to make amends.Suddenly, Deric's phone rang. Deric's face pale
