Lydia hung up the call. She was a little lost and unable to gather her thoughts.She felt that Anna was too nice to her; she was spoiling her.Henry almost scared her to death earlier. Lydia said unhappily, "Don't do that again. You almost scared me to my death.""What's there to be afraid of? You think too much."Henry smiled gently and said, "Don't you think my mother is kind to you? The more relaxed you are, the happier she'll be."Lydia was stunned. She agreed with Henry as she remembered the situation earlier. She asked, "Really?""Of course, because that's how you truly are," Henry said.Lydia finally understood it.A family should be open and honest to each other and speak candidly.It was tiring having to pretend when one was out in the world. It was too much if one needed to worry further at home.After figuring that out, Lydia felt much more relaxed and comfortable. She was often unhappy when she was with the Millers.She was happiest when she was working. She had
That was a rather wishful thought. However, Wilfred said, "If you're busy, Mr. Truman, I can manage it for you.""You?""Yes, yes. I know the company well. I used to help Mr. Hood with handling the company's business," Wilfred said nervously.Wilfred could follow Vito mainly because he had great socializing and interpersonal skills. Vito still decided most of the important things."If that's the case, you can manage the company in the interim. If you do it well, you can officially take over," Henry said.Usually, for large companies, there would be board meetings, elections, and other events. However, for the Hood Group, the shares owned by the Hood family were substantial; it was a family business.To put it bluntly, it was entirely up to the Hood family, who would be the executive chairman, and what the company's directions were.Of course, Henry was the new owner of the Hood Group."Yes, sure. I'll manage the company wholeheartedly," Wilfred said excitedly. He had never thou
After a good night's sleep, Lydia woke up the next morning to find Henry busy preparing breakfast.He looked happy.He had never been so relaxed as the night before over the recent period.He felt that life was beautiful, and he was so happy.At 9:00 A.M., Lydia appeared in the office on time. After thinking about it again the night before, she changed her mind. She decided that she would not leave the Sky Avenue Group so abruptly.She did not want to retreat like a coward. Even if she wanted to leave, she had to show some achievements first. Otherwise, how could she live up to Anna's love?Everyone respected Lydia.Even though it was only after a short time, Lydia's various actions and arrangements convinced them of her competence.The company's efficiency had improved very quickly. Although the statistical results were not apparent, everyone could see there was hope that the company would be able to improve significantly in the future.Lydia's cell phone rang as soon as she
"I don't know. You can only rely on yourself."Albus sounded helplessly. He said, "Henry, you should've heard about the Truman family's affairs, right?""Yes." Henry nodded."What do you think?" Albus asked."I will head to Aurelia City soon." That was what Henry had planned. There was no need to hide from Albus."You're kind-hearted, so I know you'll make such a decision. However, there's one thing I must tell you. A very powerful person is behind suppressing and destroying the Truman family.""Who's that?""I don't know. However, he's a super strong Earthly Immortal.""Is he that strong? If that's the case, the Truman family won't be able to defeat him, right?""That's because he has yet to take action. If you help the Truman family, you may provoke him. So, you must think about it carefully.""I understand. Thank you, Elder Master, for reminding me.""Young man, why are you being polite to me? It's a pity that I can only help you this much. The rest depends on your effort
The room erupted with excitement as soon as Henry finished speaking.One person could not hold back and spoke up loudly, "Mr. Truman, we know there's been some tension between you and Ms. Miller, but she's amazing for the company. Can't you reconsider letting her go?""Yeah, Mr. Truman! Please don't let her leave!""That's right, Mr. Truman. We need Ms. Miller!""Please let Ms. Miller stay!"Everyone voiced their support for Lydia. The sight left not only Allan stunned but also Lydia herself. She had not expected that she had gained so much support from her colleagues in such a short time.Allan was deeply shaken, realizing that Lydia was far more exceptional than he had initially thought. The executive chairman's decision to speak highly of her was not just because she was his daughter-in-law but also because of her own merits.Allan quickly said, "Everyone, please calm down. No final decision has been made about her leaving. I'm here to discuss that matter with Ms. Miller."H
Anna's action was clearly influenced by her affection for Henry. That made Lydia reflect on her own situation—why did she not have a mother like that?Anna had never looked down on Lydia. In fact, she had always been considerate and caring in every way.Thinking about Jennifer, Lydia wondered how she was doing lately. She had thought about calling several times but always stopped herself. Plus, Jennifer never reached out, either.Lydia wondered the point of dwelling on it. At least she had Henry by her side. Just the thought of him brought a smile to her lips.Around noon, Lydia received a call from Henry and quickly made her way downstairs. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Janette hurrying by. Janette was in a fitted dress, and her physique looked amazing. However, she seemed anxious."Janette!""Ms. Miller!"Janette's face lit up as if she had found a lifeline when she saw Lydia."What's going on? Why are you in such a rush?""I'm out of options, Lydia. Can you take m
Janette was momentarily taken aback. However, she did not question further and quickly followed along. Despite the situation's urgency—the deadline was due that day—she hoped to find a solution soon.The restaurant where Henry reserved was a three-minute walk away. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a high-class restaurant. The prices here were notably high, indicating that that was not a place for ordinary people. The interior was elegant and comfortable, enhancing the overall atmosphere.Lydia and Janette headed to the private room. Soon, she saw a young man sitting inside the room. He was strikingly handsome, with a well-built physique that was sure to appeal to many women. His appearance made her wonder if he was Lydia's boyfriend.Henry noticed Janette and paused for a moment. Lydia introduced her. "Henry, this is my classmate, Janette, from Akemi Tech Corporation."Janette, this is my husband, Henry!" Lydia said without hesitation.Janette was surprised by the title, quic
Janette was momentarily stunned by how quickly the conversation turned to collaboration. She wondered if Henry had a solution but was gauging what benefits they could offer in return.She quickly said, "Mr. Truman, what kind of collaboration would be best?""I'd prefer to hear your thoughts first," Henry replied calmly.After a moment of hesitation, Janette remembered her father's bottom line and said, "We hope to secure a 75-million-dollar investment in exchange for 60 percent of the shares. However, we'd retain management and operational control of the company."Given the crisis, she could not afford to ask for too much."That's too little—75 million dollars. It wouldn't even make a splash," Henry said."We'll invest 300 million dollars and take an 80 percent stake. What do you think about that? However, Lydia would need to take charge of managing the company. How does that sound?"Janette's heart skipped a beat. That was an enormous sum, far beyond her expectations. However,
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
