Chapter 39: Accepting the Younger Brother

Jonathan, who had just carried Henry all the way to the hospital, said, "Henry, isn't the toughest one under Charles' command you? If it's a one-on-one, I won't be inferior to him. It's just that their influence is too great, and we lack a leader who dares to go all out. Brandon has told us about your situation countless times. As long as you don't mind, we brothers will never let you lose face."

Henry, with a sturdy figure and not a light weight, was just carried by Jonathan in one go, which proved that his strength was indeed considerable. Henry smiled and said to Jonathan, "Bro, I'll remember what happened today. If there's a chance, I'll definitely save your life."

Jonathan frowned and said, "Bro, you're being too polite. I've never kneeled to anyone in my life. It's just too frustrating to follow Justin today. If you're going to find Charles and Henry, make sure to bring me along. I'm not helping you, I just can't bear this humiliation!"

The other brothers also spoke up, asking who the hell had ever experienced such a frustrating day. When Henry and Charles make their move, count us in.

At this moment, Brandon asked, "You have a close relationship with the big boss of the Federation, Robert. Are you planning to ask him to intervene this time?"

Henry shook his head. Brandon felt embarrassed and quickly explained, "Robert is not like me, all talk. In our Harbor Springs, not to mention the four major gang leaders, even if it's just three of them, they would give him some face. He's very loyal, and as long as anyone from Harbor Springs goes to the Federation, they can ask him to handle anything. If he steps in, Charles will definitely listen."

Henry smiled and shook his head, "Brandon, you don't need to blame yourself. I know Robert's influence, of course. As you just said, he's a loyal person. But even if I tell him about this, what can he really do to Charles? At most, he'll try to get back the money my brother and sister-in-law were extorted and maybe offer me an apology. What I encountered today is not something that can be resolved with just money and apologies. I must demand ten times the amount of money taken from me and ten times the amount of harm caused. Charles and Henry, even if I don't kill them, they will disappear from Harbor Springs forever. This kind of situation would only make it difficult for Robert if he were to intervene. I won't act unless necessary, but once I do, I will make sure that Charles and Henry have no one to turn to for help."

As Henry spoke, he appeared calm, but each word was like a sharp blade, sending shivers down everyone's spine. Brandon and the other brothers exchanged glances and nodded. They confirmed that Brandon was not lying. If they wanted to establish themselves in society, even though Henry was young, he could definitely be their leader. Seeing that it was getting late, Henry told them all to go back. Everyone was engrossed in their conversation and no one wanted to leave. Brandon smiled and said, "Bro, we're leaving. Who's going to take care of your needs tonight?" Henry laughed and replied, "Brandon, that's not fair. You're trying to ruin my chances with the nurses in the hospital. Who knows, there might be one or two angels among them. If you guys stay here, I won't have a chance, right?" Just as they were talking, the sound of high heels echoed in the corridor outside. Without even looking, the crisp sound of the footsteps could make one imagine a graceful and extraordinary beauty. Everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards the door. Sure enough, a slender figure appeared at the entrance, dressed in a white dress. After seeing the beauty's appearance, everyone was stunned. Isn't this Sean's girl? Brandon and the brothers exchanged glances. The newcomer was none other than Isabelle. Because she was often seen with Sean and Sean liked to boast to the brothers, many people thought she was Sean's girl. Sean was under Henry and Charles, and Henry had just been beaten up by them. What was Isabelle doing at the hospital at this time? Did she come to the wrong place? Even more surprised than the others was Henry. He didn't expect Isabelle to come to the hospital and also thought she had made a mistake. Sean had also been beaten by Henry during the day. Could it be that he was also staying at this hospital and Isabelle came to see him? What Henry didn't expect was that Isabelle had indeed come to see him. After sobering up, Isabelle became more and more angry at home. She didn't know what had happened today. She was beaten up by Henry and called Sean, who was also reprimanded and fled. Although they had agreed to let the matter pass, it wasn't easy to let go of the grudge in her heart. She thought of her boyfriend, Bryan. Although they had been at odds with each other recently, she still wanted to confide in him when faced with such grievances. As long as Bryan stood up for her, she would forgive all the past misunderstandings. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Bryan's villa, Bryan had just woken up. And the one waking up with him was Victoria! Without a word, Isabelle directly pounced on Victoria. But the slender Isabelle was no match. With just one move, Victoria pinned her to the ground. Isabelle cursed at Bryan, but he told her that he would marry Victoria in six months. Isabelle was speechless. She went to the bar and drank heavily. On her way home, she encountered several thugs from the underworld... Although Henry had saved her, Isabelle felt insulted by the whole ordeal. Even with Bryan, they had only shared some intimate moments. They were just college classmates. Isabelle knew that Bryan came from a wealthy family and she was always afraid of being abandoned. So, she tried her best to maintain their relationship. She had thought that their recent conflicts were just minor disagreements and that once Bryan was done playing around with those other women, he would come back to her. But she never expected... Bryan could have married a woman from a respectable family, but he chose Victoria, who used to be a prostitute in Violet City. This news was a devastating blow to Isabelle. The more she thought about it, the more extreme her thoughts became. Since she had no more secrets from Henry, she felt an impulse to do something crazy. She put on a dress, did her makeup, and went straight downstairs to knock on the door, only to run into Andrew and Emily returning home from the hospital. Andrew was startled and quickly asked her what was wrong. Isabelle explained that she wasn't here to cause trouble for Henry, but to thank him. She had gotten drunk and almost been taken advantage of by some hooligans, and it was Henry who had escorted her home. Andrew told her that Henry had been beaten up and was now in the hospital. Upon hearing this, Isabelle immediately rushed to the hospital. When she arrived at the ward, Isabelle was taken aback. She looked around carefully, but she didn't recognize anyone. The problem was that she had just asked at the nurse's station, and they had told her that Henry was in this ward. She stepped back and checked the room number again, then stared at Henry lying in bed, her face full of confusion. "Isn't Henry supposed to be here?" she asked. Isabelle couldn't recognize him at all, as Henry's face was disfigured from the beating. Brandon and the others were all stunned, realizing that she had come to find Henry. Henry nodded and said, "It's me." "Huh?" Isabelle walked to the bedside and looked at Henry, who was bruised and swollen. She couldn't believe it and asked, "Is it really you? How did you become so useless? Who beat you up like this?" Such words couldn't be spoken by just anyone, not even by close friends or family. When someone is injured to this extent, there's no time for comforting words, let alone sarcastic remarks. Brandon and Jonathan suddenly felt that Isabelle and Henry's relationship was extraordinary. Henry forced a bitter smile and remained silent. Isabelle glanced at Brandon and the others and said, "You're all Henry's friends, right? It's late now, if you want to fight or kill, do it tomorrow. Go home and rest well. I'll take care of him tonight."
