"We need to find a new apartment. Our former one is no longer save..." Henry told his mother when they arrived home.

Josephine wanted to turn down the idea but after seeing what happened earlier, it was best they packed out of their current apartment.

"They'll continue to hunt us. It's no use running away." Josephine said.

Holding his mother's hand, Henry careful explained, "I'll find a way to pay them back. but first, I need to ensure you're save. This people are dangerous."

Nodding, the both of them spend their time packing their precious belongings. After they were done, Henry flagged down a taxi and helped put their small luggages into the car.

"Take us to south town,"Henry told the driver their address and the car drove off.

*******

"Henry, you shouldn't have been so impulsive just now..."

As Josephine spoke, she glanced worriedly at Henry in the car.

Henry cut her off before she could say anything more, assuring her, "Mom, don't worry. It'll be fine."

Josephine could not calm her fears because she knew that her son had simply stated this out of fear for her concern.

When they arrived at their new apartment, Josephine was surprised that Henry was able to secure such small, but nice house for themselves.

Henry had been saving for years to buy that apartment in case things went wrong someday,. he'll be able to know where to hide. And gladly he did and it turned out that his decision had saved them.

She also noticed that Henry had changed a little since then. Not only was he not as strong as he was in the past, but he was also not as impetuous. She even had a suspicion that Henry's peculiar behavior was the result of her putting too much strain on him due to her prolonged illness.

Henry took a few items that he felt were essential, brought his mother home, and then departed.

He had, after all, insulted the Wayne family family, and he had no idea when they would reach out to him.

Henry would not take any chances if he could avoid them, even though he was not afraid because he still had his mother and wife.

Naturally, Josephine didn't complain, knowing full well that her son was doing this to avoid the Anderson family. They rented a little house together in the southern part of the city.

Henry took a few days to absorb the exceptional powers he had been given after he settled in.

He'd barely been done honing his powers when his Emily called.

Emily's icy voice answered the phone once she had picked it up. "Where have you been these days? Why haven't you returned home?" she asked.

Henry had spent the last few days fully engaged in his training. Then it dawned on him that his wife and her family were back from their summer vacation. "I'm sorry, Emily, I just..." was his brief explanation.

Emily gave Henry absolutely no chance. She abruptly interrupted him, "If you really don't want to stay in my house, then please tell me. Don't just leave without a word. I will never let you stay. You should be glad that it wasn't my mother who called you. If it was her, I don't think you would be so calm."

"I sincerely apologize, I have changed apartment due to some reason. I'm sorry I never informed you" Henry replied. "My mother has just been discharged from the hospital and is still very weak, so I found a place to take care of her."

Henry wasn't upset, even though Emily's tone wasn't the best.

Because Emily's family was better off, Henry had always been looked down upon by Emily's family during their marriage.

Henry hadn't gone out looking for work because he also needed to take care of his ailing mother. Because he had accomplished nothing, Emily's family began to hold him in even lower regard.

Henry recognized that Emily still had feelings for him and his mother, even though she was a little let down by him. If not, she would not have assisted him in covering his mother's medical costs.

Henry thought that he would be able to accomplish something and not let Emily down now that he had inherited the heavenly doctor's inheritance.

After hearing Henry's statements, Emily seemed to have lost some of her fury. "Tell me where you are, and I'll go find you now." She said directly.

Henry believed she was on her way to get him. Even more moved, he gave her the address right away.

Soon afterward, a white car was found stopping at the front of Henry's apartment.

A stunning woman stepped out of the vehicle.

But there was something icy about her expression, like she was about to freeze someone to death.

She was Emily, Henry's wife.

She scowled as she looked at Henry's modest rental home. "Why didn't you rent a better house? A good environment will be good for your mother's recovery."

Henry stretched his hands and shrugged. "I have no choice, this is all I have."

Emily merely shook her head and remained silent. She opened the car and got out a few bottles. All of them were vitamin-like supplements. She removed a black card as well. "There's 75,000 dollars in this card. Take it. These supplements are for your mother."

"No need, my mother doesn't need to undergo surgery. The money that was transferred last time is still there." Henry graciously declined.

Emily may have appeared aloof, but her behavior showed that she was barely a good woman who still cared for something.

Emily shoved it straight into Henry's hands, showing no concern at all. "Don't think about your dignity as a man here. If you really had other ways, you wouldn't have been a failure all these years and be looked down upon by my family."

There was no hint of irony in Emily's words. That was Henry's painful reality.

  • Hand It Over

    “Josh, you’re finally back!” Robert approached him with a bright smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad.” Celestine smiled and gestured to the woman beside him. “Allow me to introduce you to Davina Harris, my fiancée.” — “Davina Harris?” Robert looked taken aback before asking tentatively. “Is she the third daughter of the Harris family?” “Yes, that’s right.” Celestine smiled. “Nice to meet you. Mr. Layren.” Davina nodded. “Yes, yes, nice to meet you, too. As expected of a daughter of the Harris family–you’re the very embodiment of beauty and grace!” Robert looked delighted.

  • Getting Rid Of Them

    “Brown” was the pinnacle of power. Many people shared the same surname, but there was only one family that held that type of emblem. That family incurred fear from countless others, and no one dared to challenge them. “The Brown Emblem! W–who are you?” Peter gripped the badge with both hands, his body began to shake, and beads of sweat ran down his forehead. “You must be blind! This is Sir Damon Fletcher!” The large man hollered. “Damon Fletcher?” At the sound of the name, Peter immediately paled in fear. Not many knew of that name, but that man had a popular nickname–the Executioner! He had an infamous reputation for being the human butcher who sliced people like butter. There were three great generals in the Brown family–the Executioner, the Sword Whisperer, and the Drunken Maniac. Each one of them was enough to shake the country. The Executioner, Damon Fletcher, was the strongest of them all. He was so terrifying that kids would cry at the mention of his name. Rumor had it

  • Falling In A Trap

    The crowd began to hurl insults at Henry. “It can’t be. Henry wouldn’t do that Emily shook her head, unable to accept that. “Why are you still defending him, Emily? Why do you still have feelings for that asshole? I’m telling you, Micheal’s the better man for you. He’s leagues above Henry! I’ll show you Henry’s true colors right now!” Mrs Miller yelled and began the playback, showing exactly what happened. By the time they reached the middle of the video, everyone had frozen in dismay. “Micheal Clark?” Mrs Miller was rooted to the spot as she stared in disbelief at the man violently assaulting Emily in the video.Everyone else’s jaws had dropped as well. Never in their dreams would they have imagined that the person who kidnapped Emily and tried to assault her would be Micheal, a respectful man from a noble family. How could this be possible? However, the video was right before their eyes. It turned out that the despicable person had been the “decent” man, Micheal, instead of H

  • Put Him In Jail

    “I planned to finish you off in one go, but I changed my mind.” Henry approached calmly, his overwhelming presence making it hard for Michael to breathe, and Michael’s hand began to tremble uncontrollably. “Stop right there! You better stop, or I’ll fucking shoot your Michael yelled.However, Henry continued his way forward as if he hadn’t heard the other man. “You’re dead meat!” Michael gritted his teeth and aimed the gun at Henry’s head before pulling the trigger. Ear–splitting bangs rang out as the chamber was emptied of bullets. However, Henry had disappeared. Abruptly, he appeared less than two feet away in front of Michael. “You-” Startled, Michael tried to jerk backward, but Henry grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the wall with bang. Michael immediately passed out, his head bleeding. “H–Henry Now that the danger had passed, Emily’s body finally relaxed, and she fell into slumber. Henry glanced at the fallen man and pulled out his phone to call someone. 15 minut

  • I'll Have My Fill

    Henry hummed. He was about to say something else when his phone started ringing. Emily was calling him. Muffled noises could be heard as soon as he picked up. “Let me go. I want to go home.” Emily demanded weakly. “What do you mean ‘go home“? Look at how pretty Estelle Hotel is. Let’s keep drinking there.” Micheal cackled. “You can go alone. Piss off.” “Fucking slut! You better appreciate the chance I’m giving you. You don’t have a say in this. You’re drinking tonight. Get in!” As the phone fell to the floor, the cursing became softer until it completely faded away. Henry’s face darkened immediately, and the air around him became unbelievably cold. “What’s wrong, Mr. Brown?” Peter shivered. A loud slap rang out as Henry struck Peter across the face, causing the latter to fall to the floor. “You motherfucker! You better hope your son didn’t make a mistake, or I’ll destroy your entire family!” Henry opened the door and dashed out. “Huh?” Peter covered his cheek with a hand, d

  • Don't Be Rash

    “Don’t be rash, Micheal!” Peter warned gravely. “He has the Philip family to support him, and now, he has Eric Morgan‘s support as well. We’ll sink further if you do anything to him!” Alas, those words failed to reach Micheal, who has lost repeatedly to Henry recently. Today’s incident only fueled his anger, and his hatred toward Henry peaked. “Micheal, leave this matter to me. You should take a break for the next two days. Just don’t get into any trouble.” Peter instructed his son seriously, who didn’t reply as he began to plot his revenge. Soon, night fell. Inside Midnight Rose, Emily downed shot after shot in a corner. Julia sat beside her, her face full of worry. This was the first time she saw Emily like this. Emily refused to return to the company or care about what was going on, completely abandoning her strong woman character and letting herself go. Julia heard that it was because of Henry, but was it worth it? “Please stop drinking, Ms. Miller. Let’s go back. Your
