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.
“Damn it, guys, don’t interrupt me. My brother-in-law has a few important people under him. Now they’ve been taken by some people of dubious backgrounds.”
“We’ll go get him today. I don’t even care if God came down from heaven to stop us.”
“Not just that. We have to stir things up there to the best that we could. These people are just simply looking for trouble when they forcibly seized those who were helping to search for the items. They surely won’t dare to fight us head-on.”
“But speaking of it, these are Fabian’s people. The real reason we’re heading there today is to have a showdown with Fabian.”
Henry had not even finished his point and these men were already showing a change of mood in their facial expressions.
Despite Howard maintaining a straight face, Alex frowned with a solemn look.
Fabian was always like a huge mountain holding down this younger generation of Harbor City’s sons.
They were more than their usual arrogant selves. The more arrogant a generation was, the more obvious that they were not the people for anyone to mess with.
Comparatively, Fabian was even more capable than them. Someone like him was enough to make everyone scoot and hide their balls away.
This second- generation had always been as one preying on the weak but feared the strong.
Between these men, everyone denied the fact that they were cowardly. Without the four major clans’ background history, it was hard for them to even protect their own lives, not to mention provoking Fabian.
When he noticed their troubled faces, Henry sneered and said, “We’re all friends here and we know each other through and through. Don’t say I forced y’all into this.”
“Think through this before you guys get on with it. After all, we’re fighting Fabian this time. If any of you don’t voice out your concerns or when things get out of hand later, it’s not gonna look pretty if our families get affected.”
“That’s why I’m giving you guys the chance to think about it. Whoever wants to back out, now’s the time. We would still be friends, I won’t bother about it, but once we’re out there and you’re not committed to it, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
