Back in the room, Carrie hesitated momentarily before saying, "Mr. Truman, I know you're powerful. But to avoid unnecessary trouble, should we go to the hospital?""Why?" Henry asked."So we can document our injuries and prove they caused significant harm, so your retaliation is justified. Otherwise, the police might not side with us," Carrie explained.Henry shook his head. "Even if we have injuries, taking it to the police won't help us. They'll only be held responsible.""Then—""Don't worry. Since I took action, I don't care about this.""In that case, I doubt Mrs. Hood will let this go. Even though they're not as strong as you, they're still one of the four prominent families in Eastonia. We should be cautious," Carrie said.She knew how powerful the Hoods were, especially Vito Hoods, the underground emperor rumored to control both the legal and illegal sides of Eastonia.She felt it was important to be cautious without saying it outright."You're right. I'll make a call,
"No matter what, this can't happen again. I'll arrange for someone to protect all of you," Henry said, deciding to find someone to protect Sheena until they became stronger.For close associates like Cheryl, he had arranged for someone to protect her secretly. As for Chansey and Emily, they were already Grandmasters themselves and did not need additional protection.As for Lydia, she had more than one top female master around her. However, Lydia was unaware of that—protecting his wife was crucial.After making all the arrangements, Henry left.It was almost noon, so he called Becky to check if Lydia had ordered lunch. When he found out she had, he told Becky to cancel it and had the hotel prepare several great dishes instead.The hotel quickly prepared various dishes, such as lobster and Wagyu beef. They instructed all the chefs to focus solely on preparing food for Henry. After all, Henry had taken Mrs. Hood down so thoroughly and ordered lunch calmly afterward.Henry chose thre
"Why are you still standing around? Do you want me to find someone else?" Jennifer said angrily."No!" Hilda struggled to control her emotions and replied, "This material can't be bought.""Where did it come from before?" Jennifer asked."Mr. Truman provided it.""Mr. Truman?" Jennifer needed clarification. Their company did not have a Mr. Truman in charge."Henry Truman!"Jennifer's eyebrows furrowed in anger."Why does it have to be him? Can't we get it ourselves?""We can't. It was something he had prepared. Only he knows how to make it to prevent imitation and theft," Hilda explained."Is there such a thing? Damn it! It seems like he's afraid of theft and is deliberately making things difficult for us," Jennifer said, fuming.Jennifer quickly said, "Don't you have an alternative method? Or have the R&D department work on it. No matter how much it costs, we must find a solution."Hilda shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I asked. The R&D director said it's impossib
"Hey!" Lydia murmured, even though she felt happy.When she looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her, all still beautifully presented on plates, not in takeout containers, she was even happier. They were all her favorite dishes.Becky, who was nearby, could not help but comment, "Ms. Miller, Mr. Truman is really good to you.""Of course, I should take care of my wife," Henry said with a smile.Lydia's face flushed red. She said, "Becky, why don't you sit and eat with us?""No, this is specially bought for you by Mr. Truman." Becky quickly refused."It's fine. There's plenty here, and we won't be able to finish it all." Lydia insisted."It still seems too expensive," Becky said."It's meant to be eaten. Sit down and enjoy," Henry said.Becky finally took a seat. She could tell they were from a high-end restaurant and had never tasted such giant lobsters. Still, she was too shy to start eating until Lydia served her.Henry joined in the meal, discussing some company matte
Becky was taken aback by Lydia's reaction. She thought the revelation of the truth should be a good thing, but Lydia did not seem pleased at all.However, Becky realized the reason in no time—the mastermind behind it was Lydia's mom."Please leave for now," Henry said, signaling Becky to exit.Becky nodded, regretting her impulsive decision to share the news with Lydia.Once Becky left, Henry walked forward and gently hugged Lydia, speaking softly, "Lydia."Lydia's eyes welled with tears. She was deeply hurt and unable to accept it. She murmured, "Henry, you knew about this, didn't you?"She recalled that when Becky first mentioned the issue, Henry did not show any surprise or speak much. He remained silent. Even during their last phone call, his responses were vague."I had some suspicions before, but I wasn't certain. I only found out a little earlier than you did," Henry explained."But you should've been somewhat prepared for this.""I knew. However, I don't understand why
Jennifer felt a sense of hidden satisfaction; she could try to manipulate Lydia if she could control Henry."Recently, Morning Dew Cosmetics has been selling very well, but one of the ingredient formulas is in Henry's hands. This method is effective in preventing imitation. It wasn't an issue when you were at the company. Now that you're gone, it's very troublesome."Can you ask Henry to give the formula to the company?"She claimed it was for the benefit of the company and the Millers.Lydia sensed something was off. Her mother had called to apologize, and then she made that request. "Mom, isn't there something else you want to discuss with me?"Lydia's mother's mood darkened. She thought Lydia was changing the subject and snapped, "What do you mean? Are you unwilling to give up the formula?"Henry, who was listening nearby, noticed Lydia's pained expression. His face darkened, and he said, "I can give you the formula, but can you first explain what you did online against Lydia?
Jennifer was determined to deny everything. She was sure that it would not be her fault if she insisted she had not done it. No matter what they found, it was bound to be a mistake.Hearing Jennifer's desperate and reasonable defense, Lydia began to doubt. She had initially found it hard to believe that Jennifer was behind that since it seemed entirely out of character.It left her dumbfounded.On the other hand, Henry did not believe Jennifer's words. He said, "I'm giving you one last chance. If you can explain why you harmed Lydia, I'll give you the formula immediately!""It wasn't me!"Henry, you misunderstood me!"Jennifer sounded hurt and frustrated. "I know you might have doubts because of my previous position. I only wanted the best for Lydia. I wanted her to marry well."Now, I see you're a great person, and Lydia will be happy with you. Why would I do anything to hurt you or her?"I can swear it right now. If I ever did this, may I be killed—""Enough!"Henry glanced
Lydia could not understand why her mom was acting that way. Despite being selfish and self-centered, it did not make sense for her mom to do that.Lydia wanted to believe in Henry, but it was just too hard to accept.Henry reassured her, saying, "You'll find out soon. The public announcement was just the first step. Your mom will face an investigation and might even go to jail.""What?" Lydia was shocked and worried."Why would she end up in jail?""Don't panic," Henry said quickly."Normally, this would lead to jail time. But if your mom gets forgiveness from the victims and makes proper compensation, she might avoid it.""So if I forgive her, it'll be okay?" Lydia asked."Yes. I've checked. Since this is her first offense, they're being lenient. She needs to be forgiven."But she must admit everything and follow the required procedures, including getting your signature as a proof of forgiveness," Henry explained."Everything will be revealed soon. She wouldn't be able to ex
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
