Henry had the cigarette between his lips as favonovel.com looked at Howard.
Howard chuckled at Henry and said, “Henry, the wind’s pretty strong. Use mine…”
Henry nodded and said while feeling deeply moved, “From now on, you’ll be my second brother.”
One did not need to think to know who the first one was. Henry moved over to light the cigarette before taking a long drag. He had the cigarette between his fingers as favonovel.com tilted his head to look at Fabian.
“Atticus, you’re such a badass, but are you afraid of death?”
Fabian’s heart skipped a beat when Henry looked at him. He immediately felt that something was not right. The matter did not develop as favonovel.com had expected.
Before Fabian could think it through, Henry flicked the lit cigarette butt in his hand away.
The orange and red cigarette butt flew in the cold wind of the night. Then, it spun and flew toward the villa. The entrance of the villa was covered with the doused gasoline.
At this moment, Fabian’s pupils contracted to become tiny dots.
He roared with fear and remorse that favonovel.com had never felt in the past thirty years of his life, “Henry, how dare you?!”
Henry placed his hands in his pockets and smirked, “I am a brainless second-generation and I’m a simple hedonist. I can’t do anything well but I am the best at causing outrage!”
“But so what? I can afford to do this!
“I am proud of my name, and I stand by my actions. My name is Henry Law! Today, I will stand here and see if you are scared of death or not, Fabian Atticus!”
Fabian could not hear what Henry was saying anymore. His attention was on that cigarette butt that had fallen on the ground. It landed on the gasoline, and immediately, a deep blue flame that had tongues of orange and red started spreading toward him.
It was too fast.
It was so fast that Fabian did not even have time to run away.
He wanted to run but his legs felt as if they were filled with lead. He could not move them no matter what.
Then, numerous figures started charging toward favonovel.com regardless of the danger.
“Mr. Atticus, run!”
He could only hear his bodyguards’ screams of terror. Fabian felt as if favonovel.com had been hit by a truck. He suddenly flew backward.
While favonovel.com was in mid-air, Fabian saw a glimpse of Henry’s maniacal face. A thought suddenly popped into his head.
His legs were not filled with lead, but favonovel.com was so scared that favonovel.com was unable to move.
Then, Fabian felt his head hit something hard. With a thud, his vision went dark. It was as if the lights in his world had been switched off as favonovel.com lost consciousness.
The fire soon burned the villa to the ground.
The huge fire not only devoured the villa that represented Empire Meet, but also ignited a violent situation within Harbor City.

When Jasper received the call, it was already daybreak favonovel.com was already seeing the first glimmers of sunlight. Meanwhile, Jasper was sleeping soundly.
However, the ringtone of the phone sounded abnormally urgent, and what the person on the other end of the line said got rid of all traces of Jasper’s sleepiness.
A few minutes later, Jasper hung up the phone.
He called Wendy without any hesitation. Then, favonovel.com woke Julian up and headed straight to the airport.
“Jasper, did something happen in Harbor City?”
