Chapter 5 Sorry for Making You Wait!

  • When Henrik arrived at Eclait Bank, he didn't see the president of the bank at the entrance.
  • Perhaps the bank president was busy with something.
  • Henrik didn't pay much attention and went straight to the counter.
  • "Sir, what business do you want to conduct?"
  • "I'm here to see the president of the bank. Please go in and inform him that Henrik Jansson is here," Henrik said politely.
  • The teller paused for a moment, sized Henrik up, and burst into laughter. "Are you joking? If you don't have any business to conduct, please don't delay the people waiting in line behind you."
  • Henrik frowned. "Is this the level of service you provide? You'll find out whether it's true or not if you go and inform him."
  • The teller looked disdainful. "Sorry, but you don't have the qualifications to be personally received by the president of our bank!"
  • Henrik sneered. "Go and ask your bank president and see if he dares to speak to me like this."
  • The teller exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! You're such a big shot! You scared me!" Then, he said with great disdain, "I really don't know who gave you the courage to act so arrogantly! Leah, please handle this. We have a lunatic here who insists on being received by our bank president!"
  • The people in the bank lobby erupted in laughter, and the customers watched Henrik as if they were watching a joke.
  • Did this guy really think he was noble? Or was he intentionally playing a prank?
  • Leah Fowler, the branch manager, came over and said in displeasure, "Sir, if you're not conducting any business, please don't disrupt our bank's order."
  • Henrik sneered. "Are the people from Eclait Bank so condescending?"
  • They could have just gone in and informed the bank president, and they would know the truth. It was such a simple matter, but it had been turned into this!
  • "Make way!" Suddenly, someone arrogantly pushed Henrik aside and walked forward.
  • "Oh! Mr. Campbell, you're here. What business do you want to conduct?" Leah completely ignored Henrik and eagerly went up to brown-nose Corey.
  • The Campbells' monthly transactions at Eclait Bank were always substantial, so Leah knew this important client well.
  • "I'm here for a loan. Where is Mr. Brady? Take me to his office," Corey said with a dark expression.
  • "What's wrong, Mr. Campbell? Who's so blind and dared to upset you? Don't they want to live?" Leah tried to cozy up as she walked alongside.
  • As soon as this matter was mentioned, Corey became furious. "Don't even mention it! My son found a girlfriend, but she ended up playing him and chose to be with an ex-convict. That ex-convict even beat my son severely!"
  • The thought of his son's injury made Corey feel like he was at the end of his rope, and he was filled with hatred as he ground his teeth.
  • "Is that so?" Leah looked shocked and then immediately sympathized with Corey.
  • "Which woman has such a lack of insight? Mr. Campbell is handsome and charming. He's a rare catch for any woman. She doesn't know how fortunate she is?"
  • How could Henrik not know that this person was actually Corey?
  • He couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard Leah's words.
  • Donald looked so ugly, and Leah dared to call him handsome and charming!
  • If she didn't need her eyes, she could donate them to someone in need!
  • Corey snorted heavily. "That b*tch truly doesn't know her place. I'm planning to put a lot of pressure on her family with a large sum of money. If she dares to toy with someone from the Campbells, she will undoubtedly pay a painful price. And I will make sure to tear that ex-convict into a thousand pieces!"
  • How dare he call Ingrid a b*tch!?
  • Henrik's eyes flashed with cold light. "Stop right there!"
  • Corey turned around and glared at Henrik. "You're telling me to stop!?"
  • He was still angry and didn't expect to encounter another foolish person.
  • Why were the Campbells in such bad luck lately? How dare anyone come and step on them like this!
  • Leah quickly said, "Mr. Campbell, don't mind him. He's just a lunatic. He's a poor and vulgar person who even threatened to have the bank president receive him!"
  • Corey sneered. "Kid, I admire your courage. I'm not even worthy of having the bank president personally receive me, so what are you?"
  • Henrik said coldly, "I am the ex-convict you mentioned."
  • Corey immediately jumped up. "What the heck! You're the one who beat my son up? How dare you appear in front of me! You have some nerve!"
  • He said, "You just insulted my wife. Should I slap you myself, or do you want to do it yourself?"
  • Corey was angered. "You dare to threaten me? You d*mn ex-convict! Do you know I have a hundred ways to torture you? Do you want to slap me? Let me lend you some courage. Try hitting me!"
  • Slap!
  • Before he even finished his sentence, Henrik slapped him hard. "Now that you've made a request, I have to fulfill it."
  • Leah was shocked.
  • This was Corey Campbell! Henrik actually dared to slap Corey directly in the face!
  • The bank employees who knew Corey's identity were all stunned.
  • They knew that Henrik was doomed!
  • Once Corey retaliated, Henrik would regret his actions deeply.
  • "Are you crazy? How dare you lay a hand on Mr. Campbell! Do you know who he is?" Leah hurriedly helped Corey up from the ground.
  • "Very good, kid. You're quite something!" A bone-deep hatred filled Corey's eyes.
  • "Don't worry. I won't let you die too easily! And as for your b*tch wife, once I get the money and put pressure on the Svenson Family, I will make her kneel and beg me not to kill you!"
  • "B*tch, huh?" Henrik stepped forward and delivered a fierce slap.
  • The sound was so loud that it made everyone in the bank lobby tremble.
  • Leah was about to explode, and she quickly rushed to push Henrik away. "You've really gone mad! You—"
  • Henrik kicked her away while looking down on Corey from a higher position. "I don't even need to wait to kill you. I can do it now! And by the way, do you think you can borrow money? Even if you manage to borrow money, so what? Don't even mention the Campbells; even if it's Eclait Bank, I can make it collapse with just a word!"
  • This statement left the crowd speechless.
  • Henrik was too arrogant. He was so arrogant that he didn't even know who he was!
  • Leah realized that she couldn't restrain the unruly individual, so she urgently called out, "Security! Where are the security personnel? Please come quickly, apprehend him, and hand him over to the police!"
  • The few middle-aged and elderly security guards in the bank hesitated momentarily but eventually made their way over.
  • "Young man, you... you're putting us in a difficult position."
  • They desired to apprehend Henrik but were apprehensive about being assaulted, resulting in a stalemate.
  • Just as everyone's attention was fixated on Henrik, the bank's president, Diego Stone, hurriedly emerged from his office.
  • His eyes brightened when he spotted Henrik, and he swiftly approached him before bowing deeply.
  • "I apologize, Mr. Jansson, for making you wait for so long!"
  • The once bustling Eclait Bank descended into complete silence.
