Henry gave Alex a cold stare.
At that moment, a sense of superiority of intelligence emerged spontaneously.
These later-generation descendants were all stupid and did not have brains.
Henry came to realize for a moment that he was similar to them too. He felt somewhat ashamed.
“Howard, put that knife down.”
Henry sighed and he felt it was now more difficult to lead this younger brother.
Howard Branson was the worst person to stir up things with.
Alex was only bad-tempered and at least his family was doing serious legitimate businesses.
Howard, however, came from a family background of gangsters where his father, Morrie Branson, was their original gang leader. He stepped into Harbor City becoming the top ruthless man in the streets.
After the Handover, they were initially the first groups of people who were targeted to be wiped out. Fortunately, Morrie was smart enough to start anew and dived back into legal businesses two years before it happened.
Morrie later made a discreet deal with Zachary behind closed doors which needed a few discussions with the mainland. The deal turned him into a businessman who provided public safety to society.
However, no matter how much they tried to flip things around, their dark roots were still present.
Howard was the best fighter in the whole of Harbor City and was also the worst person to talk things out with. Perhaps it was because of their family matters or fate that made him and Henry have the best connection with each other. He was always the one ready to charge with a knife and shed blood for Henry.
Howard glanced at Henry, nodded, and quietly placed the knife back into the car.
