"How? We've tried everything, but his martial arts skills are too good. We can't beat him," John said, shaking his head."That's because we haven't found anyone strong enough. I just heard from a friend about an incredibly powerful assassin organization," Jennifer replied."Assassins?" John's face paled, and he glanced around before whispering, "Are you talking about killing him?""We don't have any other choice! He's brought this upon himself," Jennifer replied heartlessly."Alright, but try not to kill him if possible. What's the name of this organization?""The Ghost Gate. I don't know much, but their leader, Damian Blackwood, is terrifyingly powerful. As long as the money's right, there's no one they can't eliminate.""Fine. Go and handle it," John said."Okay, I'll make the call now. For 1.5 million dollars, he won't survive the night."Jennifer immediately pulled her phone out to make the arrangements.Meanwhile, Richard was in shock."Is it true that Robert Truman is i
"What is it?" Henry asked."The Trumans' General Ivory Unicorn was ambushed and killed."Henry was stunned.General Ivory Unicorn was one of Aurelia's Four Divine Generals, with strength nearing that of a peak-stage Grandmaster."Are you sure?""Absolutely.""Who did it?""We don't know yet. The higher-ups are furious and have ordered General Cobalt Dragon to investigate thoroughly and hold those responsible accountable.""Yes, the death of General Ivory Unicorn is serious. It's not just a loss of a powerful force for Aurelia; it's a blatant act of disrespect toward the nation." Henry sighed.Although he was deeply resentful toward the Trumans, as it was likely they were the ones pursuing him, he needed more proof.Only by finding his mother could he understand the root of everything, especially why they had left the Trumans and what had happened to his father.Was she alive or dead?"I agree, Master!""Who do you think it could be?" Henry asked."I'm not sure, but our pe
"Silly girl, calm down. I wasn't ignoring you; my phone was out of battery. It's not even fully charged now, but I immediately called you back, " Henry said."Are you not upset with me?""No. Why would I be upset with you? It wasn't your fault," Henry replied, shaking his head."Don't worry about it. As long as your feelings for me are sincere, nothing and no one can come between us, not even a minor thing like this.""My feelings for you will never change," Lydia said softly, a bit embarrassed for being so forward.She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where are you right now?""I'm at Paradise One. Are you planning to come and make it up to me?" Henry teased.To Henry's surprise, Lydia replied, "They probably won't let me leave. Otherwise, I would go to you right now. But don't worry, I'll sort it out with them.""There's no need for that. Time will tell," Henry said, shaking his head."No way. I can't let them continue to misunderstand you.""Alright, it's up to you.
There was no denying Jennifer's efficiency.In less than half an hour, she had arranged everything.She had spent a whopping 1.5 million dollars!Jennifer could not help but wince at the amount, but her friend had assured her that even though Henry was skilled, 1.5 million dollars would be more than enough to take him down.After all, he was just an unknown nobody, not a major figure.However, just as they finished their task, someone came running in with urgent news.A convoy of cars had arrived at Miller Mansion's entrance, and a large group of people was waiting to get in.John and the others from the Millers were stunned, wondering what had happened.Why did so many people show up at their doorstep?"What's this about? Is this some scheme from Henry again?" Jennifer could not hold back her frustration."It must be. I have to say—the actors he hired are quite convincing," William commented."Let's check it out. If it's Henry's doing, we'll deal with them once and for all
As William recalled the documentary, he became more confident that Robert was indeed a high-ranking leader.Could that man really be the patriarch of the Trumans?"What? Are you serious?" John's face instantly paled.He began to realize he might have made an unforgivable mistake.If the man was indeed the reputable Robert Truman, they had severely insulted a highly respected individual!However, Jennifer was still puzzled. "What are you all talking about?""The..the man we called a fraud might actually be Sir Truman," William stammered."No way. If he were really Sir Truman, he wouldn't have been so courteous," Jennifer said, unwilling to accept the truth.It just did not seem possible.As he listened to the conversation, Richard pieced together what had happened.It seemed that when Robert visited, the Millers treated him like a con artist and threw him out.Furthermore, they were uncertain of his identity.Richard shook his head and took out his phone.Then, he found a r
Richard noticed how terrified the Millers were, and he shook his head silently.They would not have acted that way if they had known earlier.Yet, that was not the first time they had behaved so foolishly.Richard thought the Millers were mind-boggling.Everything had gone well the last time, with many important figures visiting, but they had kicked Henry out of the house.They even forced Lydia to divorce him!When the influential Robert personally came to visit, they also drove him away.Richard had a sinking feeling that Henry might have deep connections with the Trumans of Aurelia City.Why else would someone of Robert's stature personally visit Miller Mansion?Despite being mistreated, Robert had not retaliated, likely out of respect for Henry."Mr. Miles, was the person who came to Miller Mansion, the patriarch of the Trumans?" John asked, still in disbelief."Of course. If the person you saw matches the one I just showed you. There's no mistake. I came here immediatel
John spoke sternly, "Think! Why was Sir Truman so courteous? What does he want? He has no ties with us. He must be here for Henry.""Yes, that's right. He said he was looking for Henry, and... and..." Jennifer suddenly widened her eyes, completely dumbfounded."And what?" John asked.Still in shock, Jennifer replied, "And he said Henry is a descendant of the Trumans. He came to bring Henry back to the family. If that were true, Henry could be Sir Truman's grandson, a Truman heir.""What?""No way! That can't be true!""How is this even possible?"Jennifer was utterly stunned.When he thought it over, John became more convinced. "Yes, that must be it. Did you notice the valuable gift Sir Truman brought? That was a medicine capable of extending one's life."And despite our rudeness, he kept his composure. There has to be a significant reason for that. The only explanation is that Henry is his grandson, and Sir Truman wants to bring him back to the family.""But even so, why was
"Where are Sir Truman and his men now?" Henry asked.Even though Robert was his grandfather, he felt no familial affection, only coldness, especially considering how his father had disappeared and they had been expelled from the Trumans.If it had not been for that, they would not have been hunted down, narrowly escaping death multiple times."They're currently at the Hilton Hotel on Seaside Avenue.""They're here to find me, aren't they?" Henry asked."Yes, Mr. Truman!"A cold glint flashed in Henry's eyes.It seemed Robert had figured out his identity and had come specifically to find him.Furthermore, he had brought such a lavish gift and showed such patience, suggesting he wanted Henry to return and help the Trumans.With Peter ousted and General Ivory Unicorn dead, the Trumans were indeed in a dangerous situation.Robert had already retired and could not uphold the reputation of one of the four great families alone.Without external support, their decline was inevitable
