Chapter 21

Everyone was caught off guard for a moment. They never expected Henry to step up at a critical moment."Hey, there's someone here not afraid of death.""Take a look at yourself before speaking. How can you be Ms. Miller's husband?" Alex sneered."Slap him," Henry said calmly."You—"Argh!"Alex felt a sharp pain on his cheek when he was about to continue mocking Henry. He spun and hit the wall before landing on the ground.Everyone was dumbfounded.Everything had happened so quickly.However, the person throwing punches previously had become the one getting beaten.A few thugs were stunned; they rushed toward Henry.Bam!The thugs had all been beaten and were lying on the ground.Lydia and Sarah were confused. They could not believe what they had seen.Alex lay on the ground, half his face swollen, staring at Henry in amazement."Who the hell are you?""Lydia's husband!"Henry moved slowly forward, picking up a fork from the table."Wha—What are you going to do?" Alex

Chapter 22

"Uh huh."Sarah frowned as she listened to the conversation between the two. It seemed like their relationship had improved, and that was not acceptable.Lewis was still the perfect match for Lydia.Sarah said, "Knowing martial arts is good but not for a modern lawful society. You will only scare people with it.""Martial arts skills are worthless compared to power and influence!""That's right!"Dylan stood up, too. Due to Lydia's timely intervention, his injuries were not severe.He said, "Your martial arts skills are nothing but nonsense in front of power and influence."Henry chuckled. "Oh really? Then, it seems like you're just a useless nobody without power and influence. Otherwise, how did you get beaten by an asshole just now?""Well, he ambushed me. Otherwise, I—"Dylan was so angry that he could not articulate his words.Henry did not argue with him. He chuckled. He had been mocking Dylan."Alright, thanks for standing up for me just now, Dylan. How are your injur

Chapter 23

Sarah's face darkened as she heard that.They saw the dress first, and she did not even argue much with the woman.It was too much to ask her to kneel for that.Dylan's expression did not look good either. After a short hesitation, he whispered, "Sarah, just do it.""What are you saying? Do you want me to kneel toward her?"Even though Sarah was somewhat disappointed in Dylan, she always thought he was manly.She did not expect him to be such a coward at a critical moment."We can't mess with him."Sarah felt awkward. How could he criticize Henry for being an embarrassment?Lydia could not take it any longer, and she was the one who wanted to buy the dress."Hey gorgeous, sorry about this. We'll buy it for you. Consider it as an apology." Lydia tried to persuade her."Shut up, I have money. But you must kneel and apologize today." The woman sneered.Dylan also tried to persuade her. "It was your fault, Sarah. Just kneel and apologize. Otherwise, you can't bear the consequen

Chapter 24

Everyone was completely dumbfounded!Lydia appreciated Henry for protecting her, but she was also upset by his ignorance.He was definitely seeking trouble.Sebastian erupted in anger."You're looking for death!"He slapped Henry without hesitation.Lydia was frightened. Young Master York was definitely a martial arts expert.She knew Henry had learned martial arts, but she did not know if he could dodge it.Henry remained calm. He did not try to dodge it but counter-attacked when Sebastian got close enough.Smack!Sebastian let out a miserable grunt as he was slapped across the entire cheek.Everyone was stunned.They had not even reacted! They thought Henry would have gotten slapped.Sebastian was outraged.He thought he had been careless and tried to slap Henry again.Sebastian leaped forward to slap him.Everyone was shocked; it was powerful.However, Henry looked at them disdainfully. He stood still and raised his right root.Bang!He kicked Sebastian, and the m

Chapter 25

The staff took the card and swiped it immediately. It was real.When everything was settled, the staff returned the dress and card to Henry. She said, "Here's your dress and card, sir."Henry kept the card and held the dress in his hand.Sebastian's heart trembled as he realized that the card was authentic.He walked away quickly and called his uncle.He had to confirm if he had offended a big shot and resolve it quickly if it was true. Otherwise, it would be miserable for him, even implicating the Yorks.Lydia was stunned, and she looked bitter."You've caused a lot of trouble, Henry," she said."It's fine. I can handle it!" Henry did not think it was an issue."You can handle it? How will bumpkins like you handle this?"Do you think you're invincible just because you know some martial arts?""That's not what I mean." Henry tried to explain."Whatever. This is not something you can handle, and no one can help you this time." Lydia felt somewhat desperate.Even though Henr

Chapter 26

He remembered Sarah called the man Henry.It was him.Sebastian remembered his uncle telling him Henry preferred to keep a low profile, so he should not reveal his identity. As a result, he bowed to Henry from afar and immediately left with the woman.He would find another chance to apologize to Henry later.The woman did not expect Sebastian to leave just like that, and she refused to leave.Sebastian slapped her several times before she became obedient.Lydia was taken aback when she saw what Sebastian had done.He did not appear to be calling for backup, but the crisis has been resolved."I did not expect Lewis to be so powerful that even Sebastian is afraid of him." Sarah was astonished.Lydia nodded and said, "I did not expect it either. It seems like Lewis is much more powerful than we thought. We owe him for this.""That's true, unlike someone who only knows how to create trouble." Sarah looked at Henry.Henry remained calm. The blame was nothing to him as he had expe

Chapter 27

The woman was stunning, and her perfect figure was visible beneath the black dress.The night breeze seemed to sway in awe of her beauty.She immediately drew a lot of attention, completely overshadowing Sarah, who was walking behind her.Let alone Henry, who was dressed casually."Who is that? She's so gorgeous.""How can you not know her? She's Ms. Miller, the CEO of the Miller Group, the beautiful CEO of Hodbridge.""Oh, it's her. No wonder she looked aloof."At the same time, another luxury car pulled over, and a well-dressed gentleman in expensive branded menswear stepped out. He was followed by two siblings, Luiz and Lucy Spencer, whom Henry had met at the fencing club.It was Lewis."Lydia!" He greeted her."You're here." Lydia smiled.Lydia and her friends had avoided a major crisis thanks to Lewis' assistance that day, so Lydia's attitude toward him had significantly improved."You look gorgeous today. All eyes are on you." Lewis praised her."That's true. But you

Chapter 28

Luiz was astonished when he saw who had appeared."Gorgeous! Strikingly gorgeous! What a beautiful lady with such purity!"She wore a white gown, her eyes sparkled like stars, and her ivory skin made her look like an elf from the mountains."Hey, nice to meet you." Luiz stepped forward to greet her excitedly.Unfortunately, she completely ignored him and proceeded toward Henry.She extended her right hand and smiled, saying, "Hi, nice to meet you, Mr. Truman."Henry raised his hand for a light touch and immediately let go. "Hi!"Chansey seemed more vibrant; she looked beyond mortal purity.Chansey was taken aback. That was the first time she had encountered such indifference from a man."Thank you for saving my life last time.""Not at all.""Shall we chat at the seats?" Chansey suggested.Henry nodded; he did not want to continue listening to nonsense from the siblings.Luiz only snapped back to his senses after Henry and Chansey walked away."Damn! How did that bumpkin

Chapter 29

"Oh?"Chansey was surprised.Even though she did not know much about Henry, she had heard from her father that he was a powerful man.At the very least, she had witnessed his miraculous medical abilities.Lewis thought she bought into his words and said, "Yes, not only that, but he is also a bumpkin from the countryside. He has no money, no talent.""He would not even be able to join us if I didn't help with his invitation.""Oh, I should thank you then for allowing me the chance to get close to Henry," Chansey said with a bright smile.Lewis was speechless. It seemed the lady could not understand his words."Please think about it, beauty. There are no wealthy heirs you can't meet. Why bother getting involved with this trash?" Lewis said.Chansey became irritated upon hearing that.She retorted coldly. "I think you're the trash instead.""I—"Lewis felt as if he was about to spit blood. He tried to help her, but she insulted him.He thought Henry's sweet talk must have dec

Chapter 30

After all, there was some good news.Bowen York supported the Millers in joining the chamber after Lewis introduced her to others.Bowen was one of the six directors of the Everising Chamber of Commerce. The Millers had a good chance of being admitted to the chamber.Lewis nodded and walked aside.He scolded the siblings. "What's wrong with you two? I brought you here to embarrass Henry. Why does he look so comfortable?"Luiz looked aggrieved and said, "We did, but he ignored us."And he seemed very relaxed attending occasions like this, not as nervous as we expected."I feel like he's not as simple as he seems.""Bullshit, he just doesn't feel ashamed."Lewis sneered. "Forget about that. This is perfect. It will annoy Lydia even more, making it easier for me to win her over."Even though Lydia was annoyed by what Henry did, the progress regarding joining the chamber was significant.Lydia's mood was relatively fine.Her phone rang. It was Bowen."Mr. York!" Lydia immediat
