"I believe you." Henry nodded.Kurt breathed a sigh of relief, glad that his honesty was acknowledged."However, if you can do so, please try to uncover information about the arson at the orphanage from Severus," Henry said."Understood!" Kurt agreed."Remember, don't alarm them. I want to see how Severus plans to seize control of the Trumans and uncover any other potential threats within the family," Henry said.Despite his dissatisfaction with the Trumans, he realized that his mother was right—he was one of the Trumans, and Robert had not completely abandoned them."Got it!" Kurt responded promptly.With everything clarified, Henry turned to Jake. "Have you made up your mind to submit to me?""Yes!" Jake answered respectfully."Very well, I will assist you then," Henry said."Lie down. Your condition is quite severe, and I need to spend some time on it."Jake complied and laid down as instructed.Henry then conjured nine silver needles from his Space Ring, each imbued wit
As Henry walked away, it took a full hour before Jake finally opened his eyes. He felt the immense changes within his body and the terrifying surge of power coursing through him."That…that's incredible!" Jake murmured in excitement, unable to suppress the powerful aura radiating from him. Even at his peak, when he had pushed his limits, he had never felt that strong.Kurt and Herwig quickly appeared, with the former explaining what Henry had said earlier.Upon hearing everything that had transpired, Jake felt no resentment toward Henry; he was deeply grateful. After all, Henry had repaid his past hostility with kindness."You two, listen to me," Herwig commanded sternly."From now on, you must serve Master faithfully. If you dare to betray him, don't blame me for not being merciful—I'll personally end you both.""Yes, don't worry. We'd never betray our master!" Kurt and Jake immediately promised with utmost sincerity.With Jake fully recovered, Kurt turned his attention back to
When Tasha heard those words, she immediately recalled the scene in the underground parking lot, causing her face to flush.However, remembering Henry's terrifying strength, she became somewhat reserved and said, "Please don't tease me!"Henry could not help but laugh and said, "Are you not going to take me as your little brother anymore?""You're joking. That was just a playful moment," Tasha quickly responded.Ava was surprised. Tasha was usually bold, but at that moment, she blushed and acted timidly.Henry smiled and decided to drop the subject. He turned to Anna and said, "Mom, I've finished everything here, so I'll leave early tomorrow.""You're leaving tomorrow morning? Won't you attend tomorrow's meeting?" Anna asked."No, Martin will attend the meeting on behalf of the Solomon Palace Group. As for the Holy Clan, my presence is not necessary!""You're such a slacker. You should learn from Master Santosh's disciples. They went straight back to their rooms to cultivate af
The two women were stunning and had striking physiques and fair skin.It was Cecilia and Lora—what were they doing there? They should not be having breakfast together in such an unremarkable place.Henry looked around and noticed that there did not seem to be any high-end hotels nearby.Was that humble store unexpectedly famous?It did not seem likely.Perhaps his focused gaze had caught Cecilia's attention. She looked up in surprise and then joyfully exclaimed, "Mr. Truman!"Lora, slightly puzzled, followed her gaze and was immediately shocked and excited. "Henry!"Despite her excitement, Lora hesitated to approach. She had gone to the provincial capital with Cecilia primarily to see Henry.After the incident online, Lora had seen the news and had silently supported him, though the noise had drowned out her support. She had wanted to call Henry but felt awkward, as he had clarified that they were unlikely to be together.Her longing for him grew as time passed, and she even d
"Exactly! It's complete chaos. The company will collapse if she doesn't stop," Cecilia complained."Yes, Henry, if you can persuade Ms. Miller, it may help. Otherwise, the company is doomed," Lora said urgently."The company should collapse. That old witch needs to realize how wrong she is," Henry replied calmly."But the company is Lydia's hard work," Lora said.Cecilia fell silent. She had hoped to see the company fail and enjoy watching Jennifer regret her actions. However, Henry's abilities could easily save the company.At that moment, Henry smiled and said, "Lydia has already left the company. She no longer holds any shares. She has no authority over it.""Ah—" Cecilia and Lora were taken aback. Even though there had been many rumors, they had not fully believed them."Did Ms. Miller really get pushed out, and did Mrs. Miller frame her?" Lora asked.However, with Henry's presence, it seemed unlikely.Cecilia was also aware of Henry's influence and found it hard to believ
Cecilia glanced at the time and said, "Lora, it's almost time for work. We should hurry. Else, we'll be late.""Oh, right," Lora replied, moving toward the door reluctantly."Henry, can we contact you next time?" she asked."Of course!" Henry said."If you run into any trouble, just call me.""Thank you, Henry!" Lora responded gratefully.Cecilia smiled and, feeling bolder, said, "Thank you too, Henry!" She envied Lora's familiarity with him and wanted to address him similarly.Henry was a little surprised but nodded in acknowledgment.The two women left with smiles. They were clearly in better spirits, though running a little late.As they arrived at the office, they ran into the manager, Keith Dickerson, who frowned and said, "What's going on? You two just joined the company. Yet, you're already late!""Sorry, Keith. We ran into an old acquaintance and got held up," Cecilia quickly explained.Keith was the senior who had introduced Cecilia to the company. He was in charge
"Not interested in men?" Keith was stunned for a moment. Since she always hung around with Lora, he could not help but wonder if she was into women. However, that seemed unlikely—she had to be making excuses."Do you think I'm stupid?" he sneered."No!" Cecilia denied quickly."Let me be straight with you. I'm moving up soon. If you're with me, the manager's position is yours. You'll have money and status.""But I don't like men!" Cecilia insisted."Are you sure? Don't forget—I brought you into this company. I can make you leave just as quickly," Keith threatened, his temper flaring.Cecilia's face paled. She was the breadwinner in her family and could not afford to lose her job. Unlike Lora, she needed that job. However, she could not accept what Keith asked, so she shook her head. "Yes!"Keith was furious but quickly remembered something important. Hector, the sales director, had promised that if he handled the matter well, he would take over the director's position."Fine, I
Cecilia's expression slightly trembled at Keith's final warning. Even though she had only been at the company for a few days, she had already heard rumors about the Hood Group's terrifying background.The Hoods were not only one of the four prominent families in Eastonia but were also once known as the Underground Emperor.After leaving Keith's office, Cecilia immediately pulled Lora aside and told her everything. Lora was furious and refused the idea. Cecilia had expected that reaction, but she still felt it was important to inform Lora.Since Lora shared her resolve, they both decided to leave the company.However, they did not plan on informing anyone about their decision. They feared that the company might use underhanded tactics to keep them. They briefly considered asking Henry for help but ultimately decided against it.After all, that was the provincial capital, and causing a scene could provoke the Hoods. It was safer to leave quietly and keep out of sight. Given the size
