"Show it to him, Vito," Celia said quickly, fearing that Vito might expose the truth.Vito hesitated momentarily, realizing that Celia planned to claim it was a mistake. While the idea was absurd, it was their only chance. He had no choice, so he nervously handed the phone to Henry.Henry noticed the couple's strange expressions and was intrigued by their audacity to pass him the phone. When he looked at the screen and saw the name on the transfer, he could not help but laugh.He had a file on the Hoods that had been prepared by his subordinates, which he had skimmed through. He knew Celia had a brother named Jayson.Did she transfer the money to her brother and call it a payment to him?"Mrs. Hood, I'm going to ask you again—are you sure you transferred the money to me?" Henry asked calmly."Yes, I'm sure!" Celia had already thought of a response."And do you know to whom you sent it?""Is it not the same account as last time?" Celia asked."No, the recipient's name on that t
Celia was shocked by Jayson's response despite her hints. She was not even concerned about retrieving the money then; the real issue was that her deception had been exposed.Vito, on the other hand, closed his eyes in despair.It was over.Jayson continued to gloat over the phone. "You've always looked down on me. But now that I have 1.35 billion dollars, why should I care about any of you? "Oh, and by the way, I'm off to enjoy my life abroad. Don't bother trying to reach me. Goodbye, dear sister."Jayson hung up, unaware of his sister's dire situation—or perhaps he did not care.After all, he would sacrifice anything for the money."No! No way!" Celia screamed, her face turning deathly pale as the call ended."Vito, save me! I don't want to die!" She was terrified.Vito, who had opened his eyes, only stared at her coldly. He never felt such loathing and hatred for her as he did at that moment."Vito, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you love me anymore? Didn't you
Celia almost fainted on the spot. It was a heavy slap, showing how terrified Vito was.Not only Henry but even Jake and Jay were dumbfounded by her actions. They had never encountered such a foolish woman."Please ignore her ramblings," Vito hurriedly pleaded."If you grant me a chance, I'll be forever grateful and swear my undying loyalty to you!"Henry nodded and responded calmly, "I do want to give you a chance. But with a wife like her by your side, do you think you'll escape next time?"Vito immediately declared, "Rest assured, I'll divorce her after today!""No!" Celia screamed."You can't! I won't allow it! If you dare divorce me, I'll end my life right now!"She was furious with Vito and had planned to ignore him after being slapped, and she could not accept Vito wanting to divorce her."Do as you please," Vito retorted.Celia was stunned. She was filled with deep regret.She would not be in that predicament if she had not been so obsessed with defeating Henry. Howev
Henry noticed Vito's thoughts, but he remained indifferent and said calmly, "Prepare the papers; we'll transfer the shares this afternoon."Vito hesitated."Are you unwilling to do so?""No, it's just that it requires a lot of preparation. But since you've given the order, I'll ensure it's done. We can sign the agreement by 4:00 P.M.," Vito quickly responded, his mind racing.He knew he had no choice but to comply. The best course of action was to hand everything over."Good. Remember—I don't like making a fuss. So this must be done discreetly. No one in the group should know about this, and business should continue as usual.""Understood!" Vito said.With everything settled, Henry left with his people. When they were out of sight, Vito collapsed to the ground, his back drenched in sweat. The entire ordeal had been too harrowing, too terrifying.After a moment, he glanced at Celia. Although he was reluctant, there was even more cold malice.Vito looked at the other members of
As long as a formidable person strong enough to match Henry emerged, Vito believed it would be his opportunity for revenge.However, his immediate priority was to handle the situation at hand. He swiftly arranged for everything to be taken care of.He had an even more important task to attend to—the transfer of the shares. Even though Vito had powerful connections, completing that discreetly was far from easy.The Hood Group was his family business, but he still had to inform the shareholders, even those with minimal shares.Vito did not know that Henry had not left; he was sitting in the car, waiting for Jake to arrive. Moments ago, Jake had returned to the Hood Mansion.Before long, Jake appeared."Master!" Jake said."So, what did Vito do?" Henry asked calmly."Master, you got him!" Jake exclaimed."Vito's ruthlessness is truly terrifying. And his earlier concession wasn't sincere."Jake was shocked by Vito's actions. He had believed Vito was genuinely frightened and compl
Henry gave the order casually; the money was not significant to him. However, even the smallest gain was still something; donating it to impoverished children in remote areas was a worthy cause."Understood!" his subordinate replied respectfully.Jayson had fled abroad and beyond Vito's reach. However, Henry's formidable influence extended far beyond the country.By 3:00 P.M., Vito had meticulously arranged everything. The transfer process went smoothly.Unlike the other prominent families with diverse industries, the Hood Group represented the bulk of the Hood's assets. The group was no ordinary one; it was among the top companies in South Valley, valued at over a billion dollars. Henry had all the Hoods' shares; the company was in his control.Everything proceeded as planned, though Vito occasionally showed signs of reluctance.Despite his attempts to appear indifferent and even eager, his subtle flashes of resentment did not escape Henry's notice. That was due to Henry's maste
"To chat about the future with someone," Henry replied calmly.He was different from someone like Herwig, who, as a cultivator, was accustomed to killing. Henry still viewed himself as an ordinary person despite the chaos around him.Herwig was taken aback but quickly forgot about it.His loyalty to Henry grew with each passing day due to the soul control technique.Henry had noticed that. Unfortunately, the technique's limitations meant he had to use it sparingly for maximum benefit.Meanwhile, Caleb sat in the hospital, looking utterly dejected. His only hope was to witness the downfall of the Hoods.For years, he believed Vito treated him like a real brother and nurtured his talents. However, as a crippled man, he realized he had only ever been a tool.He learned that he had been left with almost nothing—no shares, no assets.Everything he thought was his was just an illusion, but the realization had arrived too late.Earlier that morning, he had learned from Felix that Vit
"I'm not joking," Henry said calmly.Caleb was stunned. Henry did not look like he was joking; he did not need to do that.However, Caleb did not understand it. He said, "Why don't you deal with the Heartless Clan's masters first?""There's no worry about them.""No need?" Caleb was stunned."Yes.""Why?""I've already taken care of them.""You've taken care of them? How is that possible?"Caleb shook his head when he said that. He said, "Forget it. That has nothing to do with me anyway! After all, I'm already a useless person.""Yes, you're a useless person now. But don't forget—I was the one who disabled you. Since I can do that, I can help you recover and improve your strength.""What? How is that possible?"Caleb stared at Henry closely. There was hope in his eyes when he saw how serious Henry looked. "Are you telling the truth?""Of course. I can help you now if you want to recover," Henry said calmly."That...that..." One would only know how precious everything was
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
