There was nothing he couldnât do!
What an arrogant brat!
Marissa smiled at Henry. âIâve long heard that Henry is an all-around genius, the rare kind who only appears once in a hundred years. No matter the subject or skill, he can learn it in an instant. I also heard that he is well-versed in all kinds of martial arts.â
Henry pretended to be humble and said, âAunty, youâre flattering me. I canât say that I know everything, but I do know how to play the piano, guitar, drum, violin and cello. I also know football, table tennis, swimming, golf, wrestling and boxing.â
Everyone gasped. Henry was only in his early twenties. Was he really as good as he claimed?
âall-round genius?â
Jordan was also curious about this person. To be honest, the term âall-around geniusâ was also frequently used to describe Jordan. He had undergone all kinds of training from a young age. Basically, he knew everything Henry had listed earlier. Could it be that Henry had undergone the same kind of
demonic training?
Henry glanced at the piano in the courtyard and looked at Lauren.
âMs, Lauren, let me play something on the piano for you? You can choose any piece you want. I can play it!â
Lauren was also shocked by this seemingly omnipotent person. She replied politely, âToday is my grandfatherâs birthday. You should let him choose.â
âIdonât know much about music. Henry, just play any song,â said Martin.
Henry nodded and said, âAlright, then Iâl just play âThe Well-Tempered Clavierâ by Bach!â
Heading over to the piano, Henry sat on the black stool. He placed his hands on the keys and his fingers started dancing.
It was the Prelude and Fugue in C minor. It was a piece for a Grade 10 piano exam, and it was quite challenging.
Many people were praising him.
âThis kidâs piano skills are not bad. He is at the Grade 10 level!â
âHe is playing pretty fast, but it just sounds like a buzzing noise. Like a bunch of bees in the yard. Not very soothing to the ears.â
âThatâs right. I think he just knows how to play the piano very fast. He has zero emotion! He canât move me!â
âThatâs enough. Heâs an all-rounder and knows everything. The piano is not his main skill. Heâs already very outstanding to be able to reach Grade 10!â
The song ended a few minutes later. Everyone applauded him.
However, as the saying went, there was a difference between being good and being great. He had chosen a classical tune by Bach and he couldnât move all the guests with such a classical piece.
Although these guests were from the upper class, not everyone knew how to appreciate the arts. Some upper-class folks knew how to listen to classical music, admire artwork and savor red wine. However, not everyone from the upper class had reached those levels of sophistication. Therefore, some only
felt that the piano piece was boring.
âThese fellows are so cold to my piano music. A bunch of tasteless fools! I might as well have played some trashy pop song!â
After performing the piano piece, Henry turned to Martin. âMr. Howard Sr., I like basketball too. Shall I perform a slam dunk for you?â
âSlam dunk? Great! Someone, prepare a basketball hoop for Mr. Zeller,â Martin instructed.
Everyone was also curious. Henry was only about 1.8 meters in height and not considered very tall. Few people could play basketball well at that height. Many of them couldnât even touch the hoop.
âThis fellow has chosen skills that Iâm good at.â
Jordan found it interesting. He did not expect himself to be so similar to Henry Zeller.
Soon enough, the staff had erected a standard basketball frame for Henry in the courtyard.
Holding a Spalding basketball, Henry approached Lauren with a smile.
âMs. Lauren, I need a partner for this slam dunk performance. Can you help me?â
Lauren was taken aback. âHelp you? Do you need me to pass you the ball?â
Henry replied, âMore or less, but you donât have to do much. You just have to raise the basketball high above your head. Iâll sprint over and take it from your hands for the slam dunk!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was not a rude or outrageous request. Besides, this was a performance for her grandfather. As his granddaughter, it was only right for her to participate.
âalright,â Lauren agreed.
âNo!â
Just as Lauren was about to get up, Jordan immediately objected.
Basketball was very sacred to someone like Jordan who loved the sport!
âWhen he was younger, he often fantasized that one day, he would be able to practice basketball with the woman he loved, and perform slam dunks together!
Just like Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko Akagi, and Chi Muging in the Slam Dunk comics⦠Jordan and Lauren had never played basketball together before. They had never performed a slam dunk together.
How could this sacred first time be snatched away by Henry! In Jordanâs opinion, Laurenâs first time on the basketball court was as important as her virginity! Therefore, Jordan objected to Lauren and Henry performing a slam dunk together.
Henry looked at Jordan furiously.
Clarice piped up. âJordan, youâre too petty. They are just acting as partners for the slam dunk performance. Weâre not asking your wife to dance with him hand in hand. Why are you objecting? Arenât you being too petty?â
âHenry, let me help you.â
With that, Clarice stood up to help Henry out of his predicament.
âThank you, Ms. Clarice.â
Henry thanked her. He boldly rolled his eyes at Jordan because he thought Jordan could not see.
With that, Clarice raised the basketball high in the air. Henry leaped up and grabbed the basketball. He then did a windmill action and slammed the ball into the basket!
Bang!
âOh my god! A slam dunk! He can actually do such a thing!â
âHis physique is amazing! Women should marry such a healthy man!â
âThere are only a handful of people who can do a slam dunk at that height. Henryâs physical condition is superb!â
Even Lauren couldnât help covering her mouth in surprise. âImpressive!â
âImpressive my ass! Whatâs so great about that? I can do it too!â
Jordan was extremely jealous when he heard his wife praising another man.
However, Henry was a tenth-grade pianist and could perform a slam dunk. In addition, he had accurately hit Matthewâs hand with a spoon.
This fellow was indeed a formidable all-around genius.
At the very least, Jordan had never met such an outstanding opponent among his peers.
âWhen Jordan saw Laurenâs interested expression, jealousy surged in his heart. âItâs a pity that Lauren wasnât there during the Olympics in Tokyo and didnât see my Carolina-style slam dunk. Otherwise, she wouldnât be amazed by a mere windmill slam dunk!â
Jordan clenched his fists. Henry had played the piano and performed the slam dunk for Laurenâs benefit!
âYou dare to snatch my woman? Youâre courting death!â
