Chapter 178 Fishing
During the day, in the suburbs of a city somewhere in Farajo, there stood an exquisite and unique manor. The midday sun shone on the gray tiles of the manor house. Various servants were working back and forth inside and outside the manor. Although the weather on that day seemed sunny, the expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn, which made the surrounding atmosphere seem extremely depressing.
In the tall manor building, in a spacious reception room, a handsome young man with shiny brown hair and a well-fitting suit was sitting on a bench, crossing his legs and smoking a cigarette with a smug smile on his face. In front of the young man was a coffee table, and opposite the coffee table was a middle-aged man who was neatly dressed, bent over, and looked a little anxious.
"Mr. Henry, please, please, let me go, I can't hold on any longer, if you don't stop, I'm going to die!"
With a servile tone, the middle-aged man pleaded with the young man named Henry who was sitting on the bench, while Henry kept his legs crossed and took a deep puff of cigarette. After puffing for a while, he spoke leisurely with a look of contempt.
"Mr. Moro... I don't quite understand what you are saying. You said... let me let you go, otherwise you will go bankrupt? That's ridiculous. According to what you said, do you think that all the troubles in your company are manipulated by me in secret? Don't frame me... Otherwise, I will sue you for defamation."
Henry spoke like this. After hearing his speech, the middle-aged man named Moro was startled for a moment, and then he seemed to be unable to hold back and spoke again immediately.
"If it's not you, then don't..." Moro said this, but before he finished speaking, Henry's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of danger appeared in his expression. After feeling this murderous light, Moro seemed to remember some unusual memories, and immediately stopped speaking. He knelt on the ground with a plop and lowered his whole body.
"No...it's not you! It has nothing to do with you! Whether it's the stock price of my company...the fire in the warehouse...the accident on the cargo ship...all, all have nothing to do with you! It's all me...it's all my own poor management that caused it! It's me...it's me who ruined the family business. Everything is my own fault!"
With an obvious crying voice, Moro shouted to Henry. Facing such a Moro, Henry looked at him silently with a cold look in his eyes.
"It's all my fault. It's my own fault that I've come to this point today... So, I'm here to ask you, Mr. Henry, to lend me a helping hand, not to ask you to stop... Mr. Henry, I'm willing to hand over all the shares of 'Swordfish Shipping', and ask you to take over the entire company, as long as you can save it..."
Moro continued to kneel on the ground and speak earnestly. After listening to his words, Henry exhaled a puff of smoke as if sighing. Then he slowly stood up, walked to Moro's side and spoke softly.
"Mr. Moro... don't say that. It's fate that we met. I don't want to rob the family business of someone who is destined to be with me for no reason, but I don't want to stand by and watch someone die... How about this, I am willing to invest in your company to help you alleviate your current urgent needs. Although we will make some small interventions, this company is still yours, and you will still be the chairman."
Henry said this to Moro. Hearing his words, Moro looked up at him in disbelief and murmured.
“Really…really?”
"Of course it's true, as long as you agree to the cooperation I proposed before." Henry continued to speak. After hearing his words, Moro's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter.

"Oh, Mr. Moro, how could I possibly take your things like this? Am I that kind of person? You are the only one who can take on the responsibility of carrying the swordfish... You can think about it here for a while, but remember that you don't have much time. If you don't want your family to be driven to the brink of ruin by your black debts, you'd better think about it as soon as possible..."
After Henry finished saying this, he ignored Moro who was kneeling on the ground with a look of despair, and walked forward and walked out of the reception room. Not long after he left, Moro shouted loudly in a somewhat collapsed manner.
"I agree! I agree with everything! Please let go...please help me! Mr. Henry!"
"Oh……"
Listening to Moro crying behind him, Henry smiled lightly, and then left the living room without paying too much attention. When he just stepped out of the door of the living room, a man dressed as a butler, who seemed to have been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately came up to him and handed something to Henry.
"First, please take a look at this." The butler said to Henry. Hearing his words, Henry turned his head to look at the thing in the butler's hand, which was a newspaper, and he immediately spoke.
"Newspaper? Is there any big news?"
"Yes, it's about the thief who has been making a lot of noise recently. He committed a crime again yesterday, and he stole from the National Museum in Florence." The butler said respectfully to Henry, and Henry answered with interest after listening.
"The Phantom Thief... that Thief K? He has stolen Flotsam right away. He's pretty fast, but what does this have to do with us?"
"Please look here first, this is a list of stolen objects from the National Museum..." As he spoke, the butler pointed to a page in the newspaper. Henry looked in the direction the butler pointed, and after observing it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Hmm? This is..."
Henry's expression became solemn, and then he grabbed the newspaper in his hand. After reading it carefully twice, he took a deep breath and said to the housekeeper beside him.
"You go down first."
"Yes." Following Henry's order, the butler immediately stepped back after paying his respects. Then, after Henry took another look at the newspaper, he rolled it up, held it in his hand, and walked away quickly.
Not long after, Henry reached the first floor of his villa. At the end of an empty corridor, he stepped forward vigorously, and then his entire body completely disappeared behind the wall.
Henry walked through the thick and solid rock layers and fell all the way down, and finally came to a hidden secret room deep underground. In this sealed secret room, there were strange gems decorated on all four sides of the room, emitting a dim light.
Ignoring the various strange ornaments and cabinets in the secret room, Henry went straight to the center of the secret room. There was a large sand pit on the ground here, filled with fine quicksand.
