The Art Of Taking A Step Back
A beautiful hospital could be seen in an isolated place a few kilometers away from Valdan City.
The hospital was very nature friendly and was surrounded by lush gardens and springs.
Looking at it from outside, one could see it completely painted in white and also very simple looking.
But the inside of the hospital would leave anyone in amazement.
It looked luxurious and futuristic, almost like a hospital for the rich.
This hospital belonged to Archman Group and was one of its many branches around the world.
It was one of the best hospitals in the world, they could literally cure all diseases in the world because of their advanced technologies and highly professional doctors.
This discovery had left the world in shock as Archman Group hospitals had found ways to treat diseases which have persisted through centuries.
And no it wasn't a hospital for only the rich but for the poor too, they had flexible policies here and would always treat their patients first before anything else.
This was also one of the reasons why the people loved Archman Group.
It wasn't been run for profit.
Inside one of the luxurious wards, Harry laid on a king size bed resting with his hands on his forehead.
He had initially thought that he would be fine after resting at the hotel, but after getting to his suite he passed out and woke up at the hospital.
It turns out he had passed out due to exhaustion.
One won't blame him though, it was already impressive that he was able to withstand a wisp of aura emitted by a higher life form whilst being one of the lowest of the lower life forms.
He had just woken up and was still having a splitting headache, his butler who was sitting on the sofa besides the king side bed rushed to him after seeing he was awake.
"Master Harry are you alright? should I call the doctor?" the old butler asked with concern.
Harry shook his head and just asked for water.
After he had his mouthful of water he sighed with relief and looks at the butler,
"Call my father, it's an emergency".
The butler expression turned serious as he took out Harry's phone and dialled a number.
In the capital city of Krustalia, Henry Alan was sitting in a lush garden in the Alan estate whiles enjoying the churpping of birds and nature like environment.
He had his eyes closed as he enjoyed the feeling.
The man looked lean and had the an air of rigthousness around him,
when one hears about the tale of how Mega Corporation started from the grass, became a cash cow of the Royal family and then became strong enough to stand by itself without fearing royal authority,
one would expect a sharp bold and savage man with a hideous expression but the man seated in the garden was a complete opposite of what people thought of him.
The silence in the garden was interrupted by the loud ringing of Henry's phone.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the caller,
Upon seeing the caller, he mumbled to himself, " What can possibly cause him to call me at this time when he's in such a tiny country like Gold Country".
Harry had left Krustalia barely seventy- two hours ago.
Harry was not someone who would call to ask he's father's well being when he had seen him three days ago.
Moreover, he only called his old man when he can't handle a problem, this barely happens.
He was also in Gold Country, this country would have been like any developing country if not for Archman Group investment, and it was unlikely that his son would offend Archman Group.
He answered the call with curiosity.
"Father we have to stop our plans on Beauty Foundation."
Harry said hurriedly the moment he got through with his father.
Henry was shocked, he had never seen his son this agitated.
And what did he mean by stop their plans, they had come out with a perfect plan to swallow Beauty Foundation and Harry was the one who was eager to complete it, so why stop?
"Son calm down and talk slowly, what happened." Henry tried to calm his son down.
"Dad am serious, I met someone even you could not afford to offend".
Henry was surprised, who did he not dare to offend in this World, he wasn't afraid of any government or powerhouse.
"Who in this world think I can't offend them?, is it Beatrice? tell me?" Henry said arrogantly.
Harry calmed his father down and then explained everything that happened to his father.
"Are you sure, Selena went there after you left", Henry asked after hearing his son's encounter.
"I'm hundred percent sure Master, I have checked it myself", replied the butler.
Even though his son narrated a lot of things to him including the powerful aura he had never felt before and also the reason he was in the hospital, the only hooking point to him was Selena's Visit.
"Hmmm interesting, the only man in this world who can cause that arrogant woman to make such a move is that old foggy at the helm of Archman Group.
He's the reason why Gold Country has become so arrogant to the extent that they don't even put the Super Countries in their eyes, he's the only reason why Selena has become so powerful that she's now becoming a thorn in the flesh of the Super Countries.
She obeys no one, but the chairman of Archman Group. For her to involve herself into the grivances of a petty cafe boss is suspicious."
He paused for a while and continued with a frown,
" If my guess is right, that pretty boy definitely has something to do with Archman Group.
Even the marriage of that Beatrice is suspicious, such a high class girl would never marry a lower class man no matter his looks, that boy definitely has something to do with Archman Group.
Well done son, I've taught you well." Henry said with a proud smile.
"I don't fear any person or organization on this planet, but Archman Group is an exception.
Even if I was thinking with my toes, the last thing I would ever want to do it's to cross them.
That company is very scary, though my suspicions may be wrong, it's better to let go of money am yet to touch than lose all my money.
"You can stop all the operations and plans against them and come home immediately".
At this moment Harry respect for his father grew.
His father might be extremely arrogant but was no idiot, he always taught him to offend only those he was capable of, and that appearance could be deceiving.
He's father had taught him to be an expert of taking a steps back when necessary.
This was why he would make sure that before he offend anybody he would probe them before taking any action.
The goal was to see whether they could be offended.
People may call this cowardly, a classy example of fearing the strong and bullying the weak, but this was what got them to were they are now.
You can look down on them all you want but can't say it in front of them.
"Father, we have to warn the second Prince since he also bears a lot of evil intentions against this mysterious man.
Henry was silent for a while before chuckling, his son was still a bit too naive despite been so smart.
"Hihihi son, if that brat wants to cause trouble for himself, what does it have to do with us, there's no need to warn him,
leave him be, if he's stupid enough and don't know how to back down, then we would gladly and thankfully use him to gauge how powerful that young man is", said Henry with a shrew smile.
