"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
"Indeed, my strength has increased several times. As for exactly how much, I can't say," Henry replied, shaking his head.Wyatt felt a jolt of surprise and asked, "Have you broken through the peak-stage Grandmaster level and reached the legendary Earthly Immortal stage?"Henry shook his head slightly. "Not yet. Despite perfecting my techniques, I still can't cross that threshold."Henry suspected it had something to do with his soul or mental strength."That's understandable. No one has successfully broken through in nearly a thousand years. But if anyone could, it would be you," Wyatt said."Don't be so sure. Remember—there's an ancient and unparalleled Divine General in Aurelia City," Henry reminded him."Right, how can I forget? Seventeen years ago, I had the honor of witnessing General Cobalt Dragon. He defeated two Grandmasters instantly with just a strike of his sword. It was truly extraordinary!" Wyatt recalled, still in awe.Wyatt was an early-stage Grandmaster at the ti
After thinking it through, Jennifer and the others immediately went to the door of Lydia's room and knocked. Lydia finally opened the door after a long while.Lydia also wanted to speak to them to clarify that Henry was the Master of Golden Liberty, that he was powerful, and that they must have misunderstood.They looked for her first, out of her expectations.'I'm afraid they're here to force me to leave Henry again.'Lydia said, "You don't need to say anything anymore. I will never separate from Henry. I'll be with him my whole life, whether alive or dead."She had made up her mind that she would never compromise, even if she needed to die.Even if her mother threatened her with her own life, she would not compromise.The elders were stunned for a moment.Then, Jennifer smiled and said quickly, "Don't worry. We're not here to separate you from Henry. On the contrary, we're here to apologize.""Apologize?"Lydia looked puzzled.John coughed slightly and explained, "Let me s
