Just then, Henry shouted toward the tunnel under the overpass. “Sir! Sir, we’re here to apologize to
you!” Knowing that Ares liked to travel incognito, he dared not address him by his name or title. After
thinking it over for a long time, he finally decided that the word ‘sir’ would suit Ares’ status best.
As soon as Henry finished his sentence, the other members of the Wynn Family shouted in chorus,
“Sir, we’re here to apologize to you!”
“Pffft!” At the sight of the scene, the onlookers burst out laughing immediately. “What the hell is going
on? Sir? Do they think they’re filming a period drama or something?”
The Wynns heard the muffled snickers coming from the people around them, but they couldn’t find it in
themselves to laugh at all. Instead, they were so nervous that they nearly threw up. If Ares refused to
forgive them, they would really be done for!
Meanwhile, the dirty and foul-smelling old tramp was sitting under the bridge with his head down in
contemplation. He had gradually regained his sanity since Kingsley treated him the other day by hitting
his acupuncture points. Now, his eyes no longer showed the kind of glazed looks and madness as they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad earlier. Instead, they were fathomless and full of wisdom and shrewdness…
The old tramp’s name was Mason Parker, and he was 61 this year. Before losing his sanity, he had
been the CEO of 24 business groups. However, he went through a series of misfortunes afterward,
which reduced him to the state of destitution he was in today.
Upon hearing the Wynns’ cries outside the tunnel, Mason mumbled to himself with a grin, “These guys
are here to apologize to me, huh? That boy’s really quite something.” He slowly stood up with his
hands behind his back before stepping out of the tunnel with a stoop.
Seeing him come out of the tunnel, Henry burst into tears of excitement. He kowtowed and shouted,
“Sir, are you willing to see us at last?”
The other members of the Wynn Family also touched the concrete ground with their foreheads, not
daring to raise their heads even a centimeter.
At the sight of the scene, the onlookers took out their cell phones. Recording videos of the scene, they
mocked, “Are they nuts or something? Why do they kowtow to an old tramp?”
“Perhaps they’re filming a parody video or something. This is hilarious! Haha…”
On the other hand, Reene was already stupefied. This was her first time seeing Henry kneel to
someone else—and a dirty and foul-smelling old tramp at that! Clamping a hand over her mouth, she
said in surprise, “Kingsley, am I seeing things? Are those kowtowing to the old man really the members
of the Wynn Family?”
“Haha! It’s that bunch of idiots, of course!” Kingsley laughed hysterically. “How is it, Reene? Do you
enjoy it?”
Reene subconsciously nodded. “Little did I think they would do this one day,” she said. Then, she
asked curiously, “What exactly is going on, Kingsley? Is the old vagrant a big shot or something? To
think that he can make Grandpa and others revere him like that!”
“No, he’s not a big shot!” Kingsley replied with a laugh. “He really is just a homeless vagrant. It’s just
that those idiots in the Wynn Family are fooled into thinking that he’s some kind of a big shot.”
Upon hearing this, Reene also couldn’t help laughing aloud. “In that case, won’t they get pissed off if
they learn that they’ve been fooled?”
“Haha… I also wish to see the looks on their faces when they learn of the truth…” Kingsley pointed at

‘Ares’ had yet to speak at this moment, so the Wynns kept on kowtowing to him and dared not get up.
Mason stood there while looking at them for a full minute. Then, he slowly said, “Get up, all of you.” The
way he conducted himself like someone in power with effortless ease caused Henry and others to be
totally convinced of his identity.
“Thank you so much, sir! Thank you!” The Wynns hurriedly got up from the ground while thanking
Mason repeatedly.
During the minute of silence just now, Mason had figured out the story behind this. That young man
must’ve played some kind of trick to make these people think that I’m a big shot, resulting in the scene
at the moment. Having figured this out, he decided to acknowledge his ‘identity’ directly instead of
blowing his cover. Even though he was no longer insane, he was now penniless; all he had was latent
diseases and old wounds. He had to free himself from his current predicament through the Wynn
Family!
Having made up his mind, he asked Henry with a sneer, “Why do you want to see me? Is it because
you want to apologize for how a young man in your family wounded me?”
