All these cars belong to Henry Brooks; he usually drives them here himself, but since he’s in the emergency room, there are generally fewer people around when he arrives. Plus, at that time, his outfit was really “cool”—meaning that when he changes into normal clothes and takes off the oversized sunglasses and accessories, most people wouldn’t recognize him as the same person at all.

In the hospital, because the chairman has imposed strict rules, no one dares to wear any accessories or makeup, not even Henry Brooks. He’s been forced to come to the hospital a few times, and each time he had to shower, restore his hair to normal, and change into proper attire—this is something Henry Brooks’s grandfather absolutely does not allow anyone to violate.

Henry Brooks remembers very clearly that the only reason the notorious playboy back then behaved so obediently was because the old man had already discussed the issue of inheritance rights with him.

So, while the people nearby were gossiping about Henry Brooks, they had no idea that Henry Brooks was right there beside them.

At this moment, one of the men in black standing nearby, watching the cars leave, spotted Henry Brooks. He didn’t approach, but instead took out his phone.

Henry Brooks’s phone started vibrating. He turned and walked into the lobby before answering the call.

“Young master, the old master has ordered me to reclaim all your cars, including the more than twenty vehicles in your villa and other parking lots, as well as the one you crashed…” The deep voice was slightly hoarse.

George Cooper, captain of the The Brooks Family security team and also Henry Brooks’s grandfather’s personal bodyguard, had once been assigned to protect Henry Brooks for a period of time. His throat and eyes were both severely injured in the war, and he is fiercely loyal to the The Brooks Family, having saved Henry Brooks several times in the past.

When George Cooper got to this point, his voice hesitated a little, clearly worried that Henry Brooks might react too strongly.

But to his surprise, Henry Brooks just responded with a simple “Mm, I got it. Anything else?”

George Cooper thought for a moment and said, “There’s one more thing. Even if I didn’t tell you, you’d probably find out soon. The old master has frozen all your cards, as well as all the properties under your name. That includes the villa and all the more than ten bank safe deposit boxes with over thirty million in cash—they’ve all been sealed by the old master.”

Driving the cars away and reclaiming other things, Henry Brooks agreed nonchalantly, not taking it to heart at all. But when he heard that not even a penny would be left for him, his first thought was that without money, he wouldn’t be able to quickly recover his health.

“Damn, you’ve got to be kidding me.” Hearing this, Henry Brooks got a bit anxious: “What the hell, how am I supposed to live? No way, I have to talk to Grandpa. At the very least, he should give me a million, even if it’s just a loan!”

Chapter 5: I’m Fainting!

He had just come up with a plan to improve his health, and now this happened—how could that work? Henry Brooks didn’t care about other things; he was confident in himself and believed he could get whatever he wanted through his own abilities.

He liked sports cars, fine wine, and beautiful women, but he preferred to earn them himself. But now, not having that million would be a real hassle.

George Cooper misunderstood Henry Brooks’s meaning and said in a low voice, “Young master, I’m afraid that’s impossible. The old master has already contacted all your friends and everyone who knows your identity—there’s no way you’ll be able to borrow any money. The old master is truly angry this time. He didn’t sleep at all last night. He originally wanted me to personally bring you back to the island and lock you up, saying he’d rather keep you locked up for life than let you keep causing trouble. But this morning, after taking a phone call, he suddenly changed his mind, and it seemed like he calmed down a bit.”

“But he still made these decisions. From now on, you can only live in the hospital’s single dormitory and rely on your hospital salary. Young master, I can’t talk any longer—the old master is calling.”

With that, George Cooper hung up.

“My bad luck isn’t over yet…” Henry Brooks looked at his phone and muttered to himself.

This made Henry Brooks think of the research he was working on, which was supposed to be his greatest breakthrough and discovery. If he could make a breakthrough in this research, he would change the world and turn myth into reality. Unfortunately, because of that guy’s suicide, he got implicated as well.

It’s a pity—even though he founded the nine-level physique and potential studies, he himself hadn’t reached the ninth level physically. If he’d even reached the eighth level, he might have survived an explosion of that magnitude. Sigh, what a miscalculation.

To come back to life only to face this situation… But Henry Brooks had already made up his mind: in this life, he would definitely achieve the ninth-level physique for himself, and if possible, he’d even capture a few powerful cultivators for research.

Brian Foster was watching from the side. Seeing Henry Brooks’s expression, he knew it wasn’t anything good, especially after what had just happened. Although people were gradually dispersing, those people earlier didn’t know Henry Brooks was right there, so they said whatever they wanted.

“Henry Brooks, you really don’t need to take it to heart. Who hasn’t been talked about behind their back? Who hasn’t talked about others? These people are just spouting nonsense.” Brian Foster thought it over several times before finally speaking.

“Heh…” Henry Brooks gave a bitter smile and nodded. “It’s fine, I’ll figure something out.”

“Yes, yes…” Brian Foster thought Henry Brooks was talking about the cars and nodded repeatedly.
