Chapter 26 I'm Not the Mastermind.
Henry jumped into the pit and approached Erick. He stepped on Erick's face and said, "Such a beautiful place, no surveillance cameras on the way. If a group of thugs and the people brought by a boss fight here, both sides will be hurt and die. I don't think anyone will suspect, right?"
After saying that, he bent down and picked up a watermelon knife from the ground, stabbing it directly towards Erick's chest.
Erick was shocked! He had been in society for many years and had run a bar for a few years, so he had seen all kinds of people. As the saying goes, the dog that barks doesn't bite, and the one that bites doesn't bark. Some people may look fierce and talk tough, but when it comes to actually killing someone, they would probably hide away.
The ones who truly dare to risk their lives and kill are often the ones who appear silent and strike without warning. Henry was exactly like that. He didn't scream or threaten hysterically. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stabbed the knife towards his own heart. That's what a real ruthless person is like!
"Brother!" Erick shouted in panic, "I didn't come here to cause trouble, someone asked me to do it!"
The tip of the watermelon knife in Henry's hand was already pressing against Erick's heart, making him too scared to move.
"Someone asked you?" Henry said coldly, "You think I'm a fool? You're just trying to get back at me. I've already told you, I gave you one chance, there won't be another one!"
"No, no," Erick explained, "I was actually planning to wait for you at the bar, but your brother's boss called me and told me to find someone to take you out, so that's why I came."
Erick had no choice. He had never seen such a ruthless person like Henry, and he was completely terrified.
In order to save his life, he suddenly thought of Jason. When people feel like they're about to die, they won't let go of any straw, no matter how small.
"My brother's boss?" Henry looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Yes," Erick said, realizing that he had caught Henry's attention, "Your brother's name is Andrew, and your name is Henry, right? You see, if someone didn't ask me to find you, how would I know the names of your brothers? I wouldn't even know where your brother's house is!"
"What's his name, and why did he ask you to find me?" Henry asked.
"His name is Jason, he's the vice principal of your brother's school. I guess he has taken a liking to your sister-in-law," Erick replied.
Henry was taken aback and thought to himself: Why is he bringing Jason into this? Whenever he had something to deal with, he would often seek Jason's help. Damn, a businessman is always a businessman, only seeking personal gain. Once his own interests are harmed, he would betray not only friends but even his own parents!
When he heard that it was Jason, and the vice principal at that, Henry immediately thought of Avery. How could Jason, with such a beautiful wife, still have thoughts about Emily?
Henry said coldly, "Do you think I'm stupid? What does our affair have to do with him?"
Erick quickly explained, "It should be your brother who called him and asked him to intervene on his behalf, but instead of helping, he asked me to harm you. Of course, I couldn't kill you, because if I did, when your brother comes to plead with him again, he would come to me for help."
Henry asked in confusion, "Why would he do that? Just to make your brother grateful?"
"Of course not," Erick said with lingering fear, "He has taken a liking to your sister-in-law. He hopes that I can do him a huge favor. If your brother and sister-in-law want to thank him, then he would have an opportunity to take advantage."
Erick could never have made up such a thing if it wasn't true.
In fact, Henry had no intention of getting rid of Erick. If he really wanted to do that without anyone knowing, he would have to get rid of the whole group of thugs.
Firstly, Henry didn't have that much animosity. Secondly, he also knew that if so many people were eliminated, the police wouldn't just sit idly by. Would they really believe that two groups of people fought and all died here?
He was just trying to scare Erick, but it seemed too real, and Erick was completely terrified!
Erick, who was well-off, felt it was too unfair to be targeted like this.
This is why those who wear shoes always fear those who are barefoot.
Henry used the side of the watermelon knife to pat Erick's face, frightening him to the point of wetting himself.
Henry stared at Erick quietly for a while, as if hesitating whether to make a move. Erick looked at Henry with a tearful face, not daring to make a sound.
At this moment, Henry glanced at Henry and said calmly, "You're ruthless, but you need to understand whose territory this is. Two fists are no match for four hands, and a hero can't stand up against a crowd. If you want to go against us all by yourself, you'll only bring shame upon yourself!"
A faint smile appeared on Henry's lips as he patted Henry's cheek with the watermelon knife and said, "The same goes for you. I'm giving you a chance, a one-time opportunity. If you think your power is great, then when we meet again, you better have the ability to take me out. Otherwise, you'll be in a worse situation than anyone else!"
With a loud clang, Henry threw the watermelon knife to the ground and walked away without saying a word.
For someone like Henry, who completely disregarded him, it could be said that the harm was not great, but the insult was extremely strong.
In Harbor Springs, no one dared to disrespect him like Henry did.
This enmity had been formed!
Erick, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
After seeing Henry leave, he dared to get up from the ground and said to Henry, "Brother, things have gotten really ugly today. Hurry back and call Charles. Otherwise, can we still stand our ground in Harbor Springs?"
"Mr. Tu," Henry asked in pain as he stood up, "Is this guy a jinx? How did you provoke him?"
Erick sighed, "Let's go! Don't wait for him to come to his senses and turn back. We might really end up being exposed here!"
