"Can not know. Who knows what rotten thoughts go through that Louis Miller's head."
Henry lazily shook his head. The smile on his lips had some irony and disdain.
“I have to go find that damn Miller and ask. The more we try to endure, the more he presses us."
Roy clenched his fists fiercely. The veins were evident on the back of his hand. Muscles have also gradually been exposed behind the T-shirt. Alice raised her eyebrows fearfully to stop:
“Are you crazy? How strong is the Phantom gang, don't you know? Not to mention, if you go alone, you want to give your life to them…”
"Roy won't go alone."
While Alice was rambling nonsense in Roy's ear, suddenly Henry spoke up. He stood up, smoothed the folds of his shirt, and raised his head. His handsome face hides determination. Henry's usual sweet smile had now turned into strong determination.
“I mean… Henry, are you planning on going with Roy to find the Phantom gang? Oh my God! Can the two of you calmly sit down and talk slowly?"
Alice widened her ash-gray eyes in surprise. She couldn't believe a normally mature man like Henry Lopez would now join with this crazy Roy. And Roy found an ally as strong as Henry was quite happy:
“Very well, Henry. We can't just watch Eric suffer such severe injuries. Let's go."
Roy nodded with a satisfied expression. He ignored Alice's dissuades. She was helpless, so she turned her gaze to Henry for help. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the power of the werewolves to fight against the witches. But with just the two of them, she was sure they would have bad luck.
“Rest assured, we know our limits. You stay with Clara."
Henry raised his eyebrows and smiled at Alice, then he followed in Roy's footsteps. Looking at the tall backs of the two men made Alice so angry that she couldn't stand it. But she still couldn't let go of the feeling of anxiety and panic in her heart.
Roy and Henry went to the hospital parking lot. The two got into the car and drove off. The night wind blew into the car with each cool and refreshing gust. But it couldn't quell Roy's anger. He put his hand on the car door and rested his chin. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
“Why are you so determined today? I thought you just wanted to live in peace.”
Roy thought that Henry just wanted to keep the image of a successful and elegant CEO, not wanting to get involved in scandals like fighting or something. But the facts prove Roy wrong.
Henry is truly one of the most unpredictable names on earth. He will think carefully about some things. And some things are very arbitrary. For example, driving to meet the Phantom gang. When he saw Eric lying motionless on the hospital bed, the blood in Henry's body began to move. Plus Roy's arguments stimulated his every limit. Perhaps Henry wouldn't care too much about the honor of the werewolf community, but if the safety of his friends was at stake, he wouldn't continue to remain silent.
"Sometimes I also want to taste some fighting games.”
Henry was too lazy to explain his feelings, so he answered Roy casually. And Roy laughed again at that statement. In the Moonlight package, no one is unaware of Henry's reputation. Ten years ago he was cursed and joined with real werewolves like Roy. At first, Henry was known only as a weak werewolf. Some even discriminated against him and looked down on him. Because the other werewolves think that Henry is due to the curse to have a werewolf form. As for the true strength of the wolf, he did not have. But after the incident of beating the son of old manager Raymond to death, the whole community was wary of Henry. It's just that Raymond's kid is teasing him too much. Since that incident, Henry has gotten to know Roy and Eric. The three quickly became close friends. Henry also focused on self-development and turned into a famous rich man in New York City. In later years, he did not seem to care too much about the werewolf community. Perhaps part of it is also related to James, whom Henry considers a relative.
Henry's car was parked quietly in a small alley opposite the area of the Phantom gang. There was no light here except for the faint moonlight that was shining. Henry tilted his head against the window frame to observe the situation around him. A few people are walking up and down the road. They are the guards. Their faces are extremely grumpy and fierce. The architecture here is true to the monstrous character of the witches. Houses are built in dark colors, with oddly curved arches. Plants don't seem to be able to grow here. If you are not a knowledgeable person, you will certainly only see this neighborhood as a scary shabby area.
"Let's go in now, shall we?"
Roy reached for the handrail on the doorknob. He turned his head to wait for Henry's response. But maybe not as expected. Henry this time shook his head and said to him:
“There must be a lot of witches inside. We can't go straight in there for no reason."
“So what to do now?” Roy asked impatiently again.
“Over there.”
Henry jerked his head in the direction of a small, unnoticed path. The place was dark and deserted with no one in sight. Roy looked at him and understood his friend's intentions. Henry and he will sneak into that Miller's main building this way.
The two got out of the car quickly hid in the darkness and headed for the path. But to get there, they had to cross the road. That means the two of them will clash with the witch guards. Henry and Roy stood in the corner behind an observation wall. In the end, they decided to have someone stay as a distraction. And that person was Roy.
