According to what Henry knew, the Solomon Palace Group only had Martin, who was a mid-stage Grandmaster, beside Henry himself.The Demonblood Clan was even worse off, with only Damien as a Grandmaster, and even though he was on the brink of reaching peak stage, Henry had already disabled him.In comparison, the Phantom Society had his mother, Anna, a late-stage Grandmaster and three Grandmasters. Crowley had also just advanced into peak-stage Grandmaster, and her strength far exceeded that of late-stage Grandmasters.Although Henry did not know the Heartless Clan's strength, their audacity and arrogance suggested significant power.Furthermore, while the number of Grandmasters was significant, the number of masters and subordinates' resources was also crucial.Each clan had vast assets and resources. For example, the Solomon Palace Group controlled wealthy families who provided numerous funds and invested in assets totaling more than a few hundred million. The Sky Avenue Group und
"Yes!" Crowley responded with excitement."You may excuse yourself, Crowley. Henry and I have much to catch up on," Anna said."Understood, sorry to interrupt." Crowley left happily.However, as soon as Crowley left, another call came in from an unknown number.Henry answered it."Henry, it's me. I'm—" Henry ended the call without hesitation before Robert could finish his sentence.He stood still and smiled bitterly.Robert seemed to have to find another way to meet Henry in person.Henry was focused on uncovering past events and had no time for Robert. He needed to find out exactly what Robert had done back then and whether it had targeted him and his mother.As Henry hung up, Anna said, "Henry, perhaps I've been hasty. After all, no one knows the exact strength of the Stokes brothers—""Mom, don't worry. I'll take the position of Holy Master," Henry said."Alright then." Anna regretted her earlier confidence, realizing she might have been too impulsive.Besides the unknow
Anna sighed as she recounted what happened back then.The more Henry listened, the darker his expression became, and he could not suppress the murderous aura emanated from him.He roared in anger, "A bunch of self-righteous hypocrites! I will make them pay in blood!""Henry!" Anna quickly said."Don't get too worked up."Anna was afraid of Henry's impulsiveness, which was why she was reluctant to tell him the whole truth. Despite her intense hatred and desire for revenge for Albert, her beloved husband, she knew she could not act recklessly.Revenge was necessary, but she had to ensure Henry's safety as he was Albert's only son.Henry finally understood why Albus had insisted that he advance into a peak-stage Grandmaster before learning the truth, or it would only make him an easy target despite his ability to fight."Don't worry, Mom. I won't be impulsive." Henry calmed down.Anna felt relieved when she saw Henry regain his composure.She said, "It's good that you understand
"Could it be someone else?" Henry furrowed his brows.Anna shook her head. "We can only take one step at a time. However, it's entirely possible for someone else to impersonate Severus. "The Flower Clan's members are very skilled in disguise. It's almost impossible to notice unless someone is familiar with the person.""I'm aware now. We need to be more cautious." Henry nodded in agreement."Yes, but if we were to investigate, we should start with those who forced your dad to his death. However, we must also consider those who worked behind the scenes," Anna explained."I understand," Henry said.During his recent battle, he had heard Tim mention the Earthly Immortal. Even though he had never heard of anyone advancing to it, it seemed possible. Otherwise, Tim would not have mentioned it.However, why had no one achieved it over the years?"Mom, do you know anything about the Earthly Immortals?" Henry asked.Anna frowned and said, "I don't know much either. Even my dad, with a
At that moment, Lydia called Henry and said urgently, "Henry, Grandpa has had a sudden brain hemorrhage. The bleeding is severe, and he needs immediate surgery. Otherwise, he'll die."The doctors say there's a risk with the surgery. If it's not successful, he may fall into a coma and become completely paralyzed."Henry was stunned. He had not expected John to suffer such a severe brain hemorrhage. Just as he was about to speak, Lydia said, "Do you know any doctors who can save Grandpa?"Despite the recent troubles and pain John had caused Lydia, he had always been kind and loving to her since childhood.Henry had initially thought Lydia was looking for him but quickly realized it was about John."Of course, I'm that doctor. Tell them to stabilize him now. As long as he's still breathing, I can save him."I'll be there soon," Henry said before he hung up."Mom, there's an emergency I need to handle. I'll be back soon."Lydia was stunned as Henry claimed he could save her grandfa
"Why not? Both you and Henry have suffered so much because of Dad. At this moment, he probably wishes Dad to die so that he won't stand in the way of your relationship," William said."That's nonsense! You already know Henry's abilities, and he has no reason to stop us. There's no way he'll do anything to harm Grandpa," Lydia retorted."People change. We supported your relationship before, but recently, haven't we tried to sabotage it?" William asked."You still remember the harm you caused us?" Lydia shot back furiously."This isn't the time to discuss that; we need to save Dad," Jennifer said."Setting aside past issues, do you really think Henry will harm Dad?""It's possible," William replied."Enough!" Lydia shouted, losing her temper."No matter what you think, I refuse to allow the surgery right now. We wait for Henry."Edmund frowned as he listened to the argument. "Young lady, what are you trying to do? Don't you want your grandfather to live?""That's ridiculous!" L
It was too late for Lydia to stop them. She could only sit on the floor helplessly and wait for the outcome.After about half an hour, Jennifer noticed Henry had yet to arrive.Jennifer tried not to upset Lydia since she knew they would need her to stay close to Henry in the future.Jennifer said, "See? It's been so long, and Henry still isn't here. If we hadn't listened to the doctor, your grandfather might be gone by now.""The doctor said Grandpa would still be fine for at least two more hours without surgery," Lydia responded coldly.Jennifer could not help but argue, "That doesn't mean it's true. What if he's wrong?""Why did you agree to the surgery so quickly if you didn't trust the doctor then?" Lydia shot back.Jennifer replied frustratedly, "What's the point of saying all these now? Do you really believe Henry can save your grandfather?"I think he's just trying to fool you, hoping your grandfather will die."Jennifer had not noticed Henry rushing down the hallway. H
Lydia was sad; tears welled in her eyes as she replied, "Yes, he's already in surgery.""Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Couldn't they have waited for just half an hour?""I—"Lydia remembered her mother's accusation. She could not hold back her tears and started sobbing.Jennifer got angrier when she saw that.'How can you still pretend to be pitiful and make things worse? Do you want me dead?' Jennifer thought.Henry's eyes were filled with concern as he asked, "What's going on? Did the hospital insist on this?""No!" Lydia shook her head."The doctor said Dad needed immediate surgery, or he would die. Lydia was scared and suggested the surgery. We thought she made sense, so we went along with it," Jennifer quickly explained.Jennifer had already angered Henry, so she hoped Lydia would not contradict her. Jennifer knew she was doomed if that happened because Henry could get rid of her without any trouble.Lydia hesitated. She wanted to explain but saw the pleading look in
