“Can a person still be like a child and not know anything? I have to say I know quite a lot now.”
Henry said straightforwardly.
He subtly skipped mentioning the many things that Jasper told him before he came here, including the point made here.
Charlie gave a little smile and said, “Well then, young master, you should settle your business. I will head back first.”
“All right, Uncle Zhao. Do be careful. Walking too much is no good for you at this age. Take it easy on your way back”, Henry said with a smile.
Charlie bowed slightly to Henry, thanked him, and turned to get into the car.
Of course not in the exclusive Rolls Royce, but in one of the other cars that followed behind. No matter how high of a status Charlie possessed in the eyes of the Law clan, it was still impossible for him to ride in it alone.
The moment the motorcade drifted off, Henry had his hands put in his pants pockets and subconsciously put a cigarette in his mouth. With the cigarette dangling out of his mouth and his hands in the pockets, Henry squinted as he sauntered toward the group of young men.
“I have obtained the imperial decree from the old man in my family. Now it’s up to you guys whether you have the guts for it.”
Henry’s words stunned them.
“Brother Henry, what’s all this about? Even your old man was brought out? Are you going to head to the Harbor City government?”
The question made Henry lift his hand and struck the back of the man’s head. He cursed at him and said, “You pinhead! Do you think I’ve gone crazy enough to go to the Harbor City government? If I were to do that, my old man is gonna hang me somewhere and cut me into pieces. Let alone the others.”
These young people were the best of the best of the second-generation in Harbor City.
