The crowd was taken aback by Henry's audacity.However, no one blamed Henry for being rude. On the contrary, they exclaimed, "Good!"Even though everyone thought he could not possibly play the piano as well as Mandez, they still applauded his courage. Owing to his youth, he was incapable of defeating the other."How dare you?! For someone from a country claiming to be the land of etiquette, I can't believe you have no manners at all!" Mandez said angrily."Etiquette is for friends, not for trash like you who look down on our country just because you have some talent," Henry said. His expression was calm, but his words were razor-sharp.Henry's response elicited a thunderous response from the audience, who cheered enthusiastically. However, they soon felt helpless. His words were eloquent, but how well could he play the piano?Mandez was furious. He glared at Henry, expecting him to embarrass himself. No matter how eloquent his words were, it would eventually come down to his abil
The entire venue fell silent as everyone remained immersed in the beautiful melody of the piano piece.Finally, one person came to their senses and applauded wildly. That action sparked applause from everyone else."It's amazing!""So incredibly beautiful!""Simply perfect, beyond perfection!""I swear on my life—that was the most enchanting and perfect piano piece I've ever heard, hands down!""Incredible, absolutely incredible!""Take a good look, you shameless Westin pianists. Who are you to say that we don't have top-notch pianists?"The venue was completely ignited. The quiet concert hall had become like a bustling market.Meanwhile, Lewis was dumbfounded. He had thought Henry was extremely foolish, but it looked like he was the clown instead.He could not believe that a bumpkin like Henry not only had profound knowledge but also outperformed the world's best pianist, earning everyone's respect.How was that possible? Should that not be exclusively for the higher class
"Have you heard of this saying? Arts are borderless—Westin or Eastin, it's completely universal,'" Henry said calmly."So, Mr. Mandez, I'm surprised to hear such ignorant words from you. After all, it's an insult to your reputation as the world's greatest pianist.""Humph, nonsense," Mandez retorted, his face flushing red. He resorted to rudeness."Enough! If you insist on making yourself even embarrassed, then so be it," Henry said dismissively.He sat back at the piano and smiled faintly, surrounded by stunned looks."I'll be playing Despair, a dedication to Mr. Mandez."The venue fell silent once again.Despair was Mandez's signature piece, which he considered to be the most perfect and challenging piece to play. He even boasted that no one would be able to beat him in a hundred years.Mandez was stunned, and then he sneered. He assumed Henry was driven insane by his own rage by selecting the most difficult piece to play. It was even Mandez's most beloved piece.Lydia, who
"Yes, I'm convinced, totally convinced!" Mandez muttered, looking utterly lost.He had never imagined someone could play a piece so perfectly and flawlessly, especially someone from Aurelia.It appeared that his old friend had not lied to him. Aurelia was truly a magical, ancient land.Aurelia had created numerous legendary figures and things throughout history.Lydia was ecstatic. She had never had such strong feelings for Henry before. However, she was embarrassed that she used the piano as an example to demonstrate that they were from different worlds. Perhaps he had been mocking her for saying that.On the other hand, Lewis was furious, especially when he saw Lydia looking at Henry with excitement.'No, this can't go on. Something has to be done,' Lewis thought.Then, Henry approached Lydia and whispered, "I'm leaving, Lydia. You coming?"He feared that staying would only cause more problems."What's the rush? Is something wrong?" Lydia asked."Nothing, but I'm leaving,"
"Nope, I bought it myself," Henry said."You bought it? This car must be expensive," Lydia said."It's not cheap. I wanted to buy one for around 45,000 dollars, but I couldn't bear the thought of a young lady being bullied for no reason, so I ended up spending more than 600,000," Henry said."Is the young lady pretty?" Lydia asked."Yes, her eyes are so expressive, truly charming," Henry said."Well, why didn't you just bring her home then?" Lydia teased."Don't I already have a wife at home?" Henry replied."You remember you have a wife?" Lydia retorted."If you want to find another woman, you'd have to wait until after this month when we get our divorce," Lydia said angrily.She did not know what was going through her mind. She had always thought Henry was not good enough for her, but being with him made her feel unexpectedly comfortable and relaxed. She did not like him mixing with other women either."Just one month? That's fast. I will prepare ahead of time to ensure a s
Henry turned away, helpless. He did not want to keep being bothered by Jennifer.Jennifer became even angrier and was about to scold him.Lydia quickly said, "Mom, don't bother. Henry bought this car with his own money. It wasn't from me.""Nonsense! How could a bumpkin like him have a few hundred thousand dollars?""I don't know, but he did buy it himself.""Enough! Do you think I'm a three-year-old who can be easily fooled?"What's going on with you now? You're unwilling to divorce him, and now you're giving him so much money. Do you feel for him?""No, you're overthinking it." Lydia tried to reassure her."Make sure it stays that way. He's shameless. How can he behave so shamelessly as a man?"Lydia, don't blame me for reminding you. This guy is too cunning. He's not as gentlemanly and trustworthy as Lewis. You have to be careful around him," Jennifer said."Yeah, I'll be careful." Lydia nodded."That's good. You should interact more with Lewis. He is trustworthy and an e
He took a quick glance at the other person's business card and immediately memorized the number."Hello?""Henry? Please! Can you help me out?" The other end of the line responded with a pleading voice and tears.He could hear other voices faintly."You've had so many days to prepare, and you can't even come up with 15,000 dollars. Are you really asking me to help your mother?"If the surgery doesn't start within half an hour, your mom will die for sure."If you can't come up with the money, get your mom out of the hospital. Let her die outside so people don't think we're incompetent."Henry sensed the urgency of the situation and immediately asked, "What's going on?""My mother is critically ill and needs surgery right away. But I don't have enough money. Can you please help me? I'll do anything for you in the future."Cheryl had run out of ideas. She had borrowed everything she could. She knew no wealthy people, let alone those who could help her, except for Henry, whom she
"See, just as I expected," Dr. Morgan said affirmatively."No, no, that can't be."Cheryl's face turned pale. She turned to kneel in front of Dr. Morgan and pleaded with him. "Dr. Morgan, please! Please perform the surgery on my mom."Don't worry. Even if Henry doesn't come, I'll find a way to pay you."Then she turned to the other nurses and begged. "Please! Please!"One of the nurses was moved; she said, "Why don't we pool some money together? Then, Dr. Morgan, you can do the surgery first.""You want to be a good person, Joyce? Fine, you can come up with 7500 dollars then. I'll perform the surgery, and we will collect the rest later," Dr. Morgan said angrily.Joyce seemed embarrassed. She had just started her internship as a nurse and did not have much money. She perhaps had only 750 dollars.However, she could not bear to see that, so she said, "But the hospital is here to save lives. We can't just stand here and watch someone die, can we?""Fine, you can take charge of th
At that point, everything there was over.After everyone dispersed, Shane laughed as he stepped forward. "Henry, you gave me a big surprise this time."I thought you'd need at least five years to catch up to them. I didn't expect you to have achieved such strength. This is entirely beyond my imagination."May I ask what level of strength you are at now?"Shane was curious.Henry shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know it. There's no one to compare with."I only know that if I use my full strength, I can destroy a city with one single wave of my sword."Everyone was utterly stunned, and they murmured helplessly, "Pervert!"Shane was speechless. He shook his head. "Young man, you really amazed me. By the way, when are you getting engaged? Don't delay for too long; I don't have much time left."He was delighted with Henry and was hoping to be able to attend their wedding.Henry smiled and said, "Elder Master Drayson, have you forgotten what I said yesterday? I'll help you re
Henry's domineering words made the people of Aurelia excited.They were so enthusiastic that they had to express their excitement.However, they were confused when Henry ordered them to launch the missiles.What did Henry mean? Why did Henry order the launching of the missiles? Everyone was curious.Everyone else was dumbfounded, too. What order was that?Everyone had doubts in their mind.At the same time, the person at the missile base was sweating profusely. He had to execute the order under any circumstances, and he was so nervous that he could not help but reconfirm the order again.Frederick nodded. He had looked into the matter personally to ensure everything was in place without error.If he had not seen Henry's extraordinary strength with his own eyes, he would not have believed that Henry had planned everything. He had even met with Frederick earlier in the morning and made the request.Henry wanted to show how powerful he was in deterring anyone from creating unnece
There were words of praise, excitement, and admiration in Aurelia.In their opinion, Henry was Aurelia's protector.In other places, people were amazed and fearful of Henry's strength.Henry did not care about that. He remembered that there were many troublemakers earlier.In a deep voice, he said, "I heard that over these past few days, many looked down on Aurelia's battling skills because no one was here to deal with them."In that case, I'll let them see how powerful Aurelia's battling skills are. There's no need to trouble those masters who are in seclusion. Those present today can do the same job."Step forward, Jensen."Jensen was stunned. When he heard Henry's order, he quickly gathered his thoughts. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Truman."Jensen was a powerful master trained by Henry. His terrifying aura was clearly displayed at that moment.In an instant, the whole world could feel his strong force. The powerful force gathered in the air made ever
Henry waved his right hand. Jorge flew out of the platform and landed near the few Islehaveners beside their ambassador.Henry had sent Jorge back to them.Next, it would be Lucifer's turn.The audience looked at Henry with admiration and were shocked.Shane and the others who supported Henry were really excited. Earlier, they had thought Aurelia would face a big crisis. They did not expect Henry to solve the matter so easily.Although Lucifer had yet to make a move, it was impossible for Lucifer to defeat Henry so easily."Lucifer, you're up," Henry said.Everyone's heart trembled.The crowd was familiar with Lucifer. He became famous after the battle the day before.It was obvious that Lucifer was much stronger than Jorge. Most importantly, he represented the powerful Westin.Lucifer snorted coldly. He stepped forward and spread his fourteen wings. He looked overpowering and extremely terrifying.The huge pressure created by the wings made everyone feel breathless.Howeve
Jorge's expression looked horrible. He had already taken the first step. Everything would go in vain if he were to give up.So, he got up, knelt in front of Henry again, and shouted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"Slap, slap!Another few heavy slaps on him.Jorge was utterly stunned; he was also shocked and angry."Your voice is too loud. It's disturbing," Henry said.At that moment, any fool would know Henry did it intentionally. He deliberately played tricks on Jorge.That made the Islehaveners feel even more ashamed.An ambassador of Islehaven who was watching the battle stepped forward and said, "Stop! Stop! You're destroying—""Get lost," Henry snorted coldly and waved his right hand.Even though the ambassador was a few hundred meters away, he immediately felt a massive pain in his chest. He flew backward about ten meters away and fainted as he landed on the ground.He was then dragged away.Everyone was shocked.Jorge's expression looked extremely ugly. The pain on his c
Henry's voice contained powerful mental pressure. He controlled it so well that it only targeted Jorge."No!" Jorge gritted his teeth and roared. The power around him gathered crazily, forming a huge and terrifying force he was trying to resist.Everyone was shocked when they saw that.A huge tornado formed above Jorge's head, and a powerful force burst out crazily. Once again, he displayed his amazing and terrifying strength.The overwhelming pressure shocked everyone.Everyone in the country saw that. They were extremely excited. "I knew it. Jorge was only fooling with him. He's showing his real strength now.""That's right. He's finally fighting back. He must teach that guy a cruel lesson."They were all excited. However, their excitement disappeared the next moment, and their expression looked horrible.At that moment, Henry, with a disdainful look, raised his right hand and pressed on the tornado lightly.The terrifying force on Jorge dissipated completely in an instant.
"He's my idol, too!""Mine, too.""Stop pretending. Weren't you arrogant and proud earlier? Keep it going."At that moment, the people of Aurelia cheered, both online and those who were there. Everyone who knew Henry and was close to him was also extremely excited.In contrast, the faces of the people of Islehaven looked ugly; they could not believe what they had seen.They saw Jorge as powerful as God. How could he be crushed? He was even slapped in public, equivalent to a slap on everyone's face. They were furious."Cheater! He must be cheating!""That is a conspiracy. It must be a conspiracy!""Jorge, did you hold back? You wanted them to be happy first and then would beat them out of their asses later?""Get up! Show them how powerful the people of Islehaven are."Similarly, the reaction of the people from the Westin countries was not good either. Everyone was shocked.Some were amazed at Henry's power.Of course, many other countries expressed their support for Aurelia
Jorge frowned when Henry walked up to the platform. He realized he did not manage to sense Henry's strength and power at all.There were only two possibilities. The first was that Henry was so much stronger than himself that Jorge could not sense his strength. Jorge had already managed to sense Shane and Lucifer's strength.Henry could not be much stronger than the two of them.The other possibility was that Henry had learned a secret technique to conceal his strength.If Jorge did not guess wrongly, it should be the latter.'Trying to scare me with that hideous trick?'Jorge sneered and said disdainfully, "Henry, you coward. Are you finally willing to come forward now? I thought you were going to stay hidden forever."Henry smiled, but his smile was a little cold. He said, "Hide? Since when do I need to hide? About half a month ago, you and your master, Lucifer, had to flee from Aurelia. Have you forgotten about that?""Nonsense!"Jorge was furious when he heard that. First,
"I do hope there are stronger masters today; at least let me warm up a little. Otherwise, it'll be really boring for me."Also, I won't be holding back today. Life and death are not considerations once we're on the platform. I'd like to see if anyone in Aurelia isn't afraid of death."As soon as he said that, many people commented again. Many people were thinking about Henry, whom Jorge had mentioned, but Henry had yet to appear.Many Aurelian masters were furious when they heard Jorge's words and were about to rush to the platform.Flynn stepped forward and was about to go up onto the platform.However, Henry took the lead and went to the platform.Manish, standing next to him, was stunned for a moment. He was the strongest master among the several Worship Masters. Manish was stronger than Albus, but he did not stop Henry.Albus specifically instructed him to arrange for Flynn to join the fight first. Even though he would not be able to defeat Jorge, at least he could exhaust t
