"The person I want you to kill is that trash sitting across the room." Danny instructed, his finger pointing towards the mini bar stationed in a corner of the living room where Henry could be seen having a drink.

"Teach him a lesson he would never forget." He added with an evil look etched on his face. The thugs gave a collective nod as they began to walk towards Henry who just sat there unbothered and drinking a bottle of liquor.

"I heard you have been causing a bit of trouble, eh?" One of the thugs spoke in a deep voice as he stood behind Henry.

Henry picked up another bottle and began to drink it greedily. Even if he was already drunk, he still couldn't stop himself from having another bottle. Not after all what has happened tonight.

He thought it would be best to drown his sorrows and drink till he could no more.

"Can you believe this guy? He dares ignore us." One of the thugs uttered in anger as he lifted up his dangerous baseball bat and swung it down towards Henry's unprotected head.

The bat moved through the air at incredible speed and headed towards Henry's head from behind. When the bat was only a few inches away from his head, Henry turned his body sideways, dodging the bat completely.

Dodging the bat, the bat slammed heavily on the wooden table infront of Henry and the nails of the bat got stuck there.

"Fuck." The thug lamented as he attempted to pull the bat out of the table but Henry's right fist was already heading towards his bot belly.

The punch made impact with his belly and the thug coughed liters of saliva before he got pushed several feets backwards.

'Just how hard does this guy hit?' The thug pondered internally as he felt Henry's punch do a number to his stomach.

The whole crowd including Elena and Danny all had their mouths widened as Henry managed to push one of the thugs backwards with a single punch.

"Why are you all going easy on him? Attack him with everything you got!" Danny voiced from where he stood, clearly not pleased by his boy's performance.

Henry stood there feeling dizzy. His eyes dimmed and he could barely maintain balance. He already had too much to drink and was now extremely drunk.

"Get him!" The commander of the thugs ordered and all of the thugs closed in on Henry and swung out their bats from different angles.

Reacting swiftly, Henry managed to duck low, and the bats missed him.and went over him. With Henry being low, he attempted to send out a punch to one of the thug's right ribs, but his plans were cut short when he felt a heavy object being slammed on his head from behind and sent him flying across the room.

Henry's body crashed against the wall and he fell down on the floor.

'One of them managed to regain composure quickly and struck my head from behind.' Henry pondered internally, placing his hand on his head and could feel warm liquid on it. 

It was blood.

'If i wasn't so drunk right now...i might have been able to take them all down.' Henry mused, rising back up as he watched two of the thugs charge towards him, but one was faster than the other.

With the thug now in striking distance, he swung his bat forward with every single strength he had in him. Henry stood there as he watched the bat head towards him, and in the last second, he swirled his body sideways and dodged it completely.

Henry didn't stop there, he raised his right leg and delivered a roundhouse kick that connected neatly to the bastard's head and knocked him down to the floor instantly.

Before Henry could turn around to face the second one, he felt a severe pain at the back of his head as the thug struck his head from behind and brought Henry down to his knees.

"Yes!" Danny celebrated right where he spectated the fight as he watched Henry being brought down to his knees.

The thug connected his giant knee to Henry's face and sent him down to the cold floor. Blood trickled down his nose and head as he got knocked down to the floor.

"That's it! Now you are making me proud, boys!" Danny praised gleefully while clapping his hands. 

"Get up!" The thug ordered, grabbing Henry's blonde hair and pulling him back to his knees before sending out his bat towards his face once more. The bat connected neatly to Henry's face causing him to spit out blood as he got knocked back down to the floor.

The thugs then gathered Henry and began to kick him from different angles with their solid boots. Henry had no choice than to lay there and cover his head while he endured the pain.

"Bring him to me!" Danny declared, his right hand stretched forward as he gestured the thugs to bring him forward.

The commander picked Henry by the hair and began to drag him on the floor as he made his way towards Danny.

Arriving in front of Danny, the commander forced Henry to kneel before Danny.

"How tables turned in less than a second." Danny bellowed, bending down in front of Henry and his gaze fixated on Henry's bloody face.

"I hope you have learnt your lesson and you would never stand up against me!" Danny roared, slapping Henry across the face and knocking him down to the floor unconscious.

"I think that would be all for now. You all can leave. Party is over!" Danny declared in a high pitched tone.

The crowd stood still in contemplation for a few seconds before running towards the exit door and began to make their way out of the place.

"Since the bet is over and you are no longer together with Henry, i should get you out of this shit hole." Danny grabbed Elena's arm and they both exited the apartment, leaving Henry unconscious on the floor.

Moments after they left the place, a man who had been sitting across the room the whole time walked towards the spot where Henry laid to examine him.

"Those guys sure did a number to him." The man who seemed to be dressed in black suit uttered as different individuals who were also dressed in black suit began to approach their location.

"Take him to the car. He needs immediate medical attention!" The man ordered.
