Cecilia and Lora had heard enough about the power of the Hoods Group and the Black Tiger Gang, so they were genuinely scared of the Hoods. Two of them kept talking, barely giving Henry a chance to speak. Finally, he could get a word in."Are you done?"They nodded reluctantly."Alright, listen up. Don't worry. The Hoods are no match for me," Henry said confidently.He wanted to mention that he already owned the Hood Group but decided against it, given they were in public, and the reputations of the Black Tiger Gang and the Hood Group were not exactly great.The way he spoke made it seem like he did not take the Hoods seriously, which was hard for the two women to believe. They exchanged glances, thinking Henry was trying to comfort them."Forget about them. Let's dig in," Henry said. He stood up to handle the thugs to avoid ruining their meal.Just then, a middle-aged woman who owned the place walked forward."Sir, those people just now looked dangerous. I saw them making phone
Henry was dumbfounded by the two women's actions.Sitting across from him, Lora raised her glass and said, "Henry, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time, but I never got the chance.""Maybe you should keep it to yourself then," Henry responded, already guessing what she was about to confess."No, I have to say it today!" Lora insisted, her emotions running high."I'm afraid I might never get another chance."She took a deep breath and said, "Henry, I like you. I've always liked you!"Since the day I accompanied you to collect a debt, you've captivated me. With each subsequent time you've helped me, my feelings for you have only grown stronger."But it seems like you've never noticed my feelings. And I've always chickened out from confessing. I realized I was nothing when I found out you were with Lydia. I wasn't good enough for you."I tried to move on, but I couldn't. I liked you too much. If I couldn't be with you, I'd rather stay single for the rest
Cecilia was just as emotional as she said, "Lora and I like you a lot, even though we know there's no future with you. But we're willing to give ourselves to you!"Don't worry, we won't ask you to take responsibility; Lora feels the same way."So tonight, let the two of us take care of you. Please!"Henry was utterly shocked.The people around them, who had been quietly listening, were just as stunned, in disbelief at what they were hearing.Unable to hide their jealousy, some men in the crowd looked at Henry with murderous envy. A few even thought of trying their luck with the two women but quickly abandoned the idea as they remembered how intimidating Henry had been earlier."Henry—" Cecilia's body swayed slightly, and Henry quickly stood up to help her.She wrapped her arms around him, holding on tightly, and even tried to kiss him.Henry was caught off guard but quickly said, "Alright, let's talk about that when we get back.""Okay." Cecilia nodded."We're staying in Flor
Before Henry could react, Cecilia had pushed him onto the bed. Her soft body pressed against his. Her subtle fragrance and warmth were overwhelming.Her delicate face was enough to intoxicate any man. However, Cecilia kissed him, soft and eager, which really set him on fire.Henry could not help but respond to Cecilia's kiss. His hands moved on their own, exploring Cecilia's body.Cecilia's cheeks flushed even more, and she started moaning. Before he knew it, Henry found himself on top, with Cecilia's clothes already slipping away, revealing her smooth, pale skin.The commotion must have stirred Lora, who moved closer, ending up right beside Cecilia. She tugged at her collar, revealing a more alluring sight.Then, a sharp ringing sound broke through the haze, snapping Henry back to reality. He looked down at Cecilia and Lora. He quickly pulled himself up, his heart racing. As much as those two beautiful women tempted him, he knew he could not do it.He hurriedly stood up and saw
Henry felt awkward after hearing Cecilia's words and apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that just now.""I know. I was the one who approached you first," Cecilia said calmly."Henry, do you find me that unappealing?"Henry avoided her gaze and shook his head. "It's not that. You're beautiful and talented, and your character is exceptional. But you know, I'm already committed to someone.""I understand that, but I told you. I don't expect you to take responsibility," she replied."You might not expect me to, but I can't do that. If I were the kind of person who'd take advantage of a situation like that, you wouldn't even want to be friends with me," Henry responded.Cecilia fell silent for a moment, realizing that Henry was right. After all, his integrity made her like him even more. Since Henry tried to distance himself, she dared not push further."Alright, I'll go back and rest," she said.Cecilia's concern for the Hoods made her anxious, and she urged Henry to leave
"Who are you exactly?" Denny demanded, struggling beneath Henry's foot."You should know—I'm a senior of the Black Tiger Gang," Denny said, boasting."The Black Tiger Gang controls all of Eastonia. We have the Hoods backing us."Despite being stepped on, Denny's pride remained intact. His anger and arrogance were evident as he shouted, "You're making a grave mistake.""Seems like you're still not convinced," Henry said coldly. He pulled out his phone and dialed Caleb's number.Even though it was late, Caleb was busy handling numerous matters, especially since he had to take over everything from Vito. He had kept Barry alive due to his significant role as Vito's son, but dealing with the Black Tiger Gang was pressing.When Caleb received Henry's call, he answered respectfully, "Master!"Henry was momentarily surprised by the address but decided not to comment. Instead, he turned and asked Denny, "What's your name?"Denny proudly said, "I'm Denny Bonner, a senior of the Black Tig
Henry shook his head and kicked Denny again, sending him crashing into the corner of the wall."Why aren't you answering your phone?" Henry frowned. He was not interested in wasting time and needed to ensure that Denny and his men were utterly deterred from causing any further trouble.When Denny heard he could answer the call, he quickly picked it up.On the other end, Felix's angry voice boomed. "Denny, are you trying to get yourself killed? How dare you provoke Master?""Master?" Denny was confused. He wondered if Felix meant Vito, but it seemed unlikely."Yes, the young man before you. You'd better make amends immediately, or even I'd be in serious trouble."Felix's tone was furious. "Even a hundred Hood family leaders could not stand against him."Denny was utterly dumbfounded by Felix's words, as he had described Henry as an influential figure. He wondered if Henry was a young master from a formidable family in Aurelia City.Realizing his mistake, Denny's face turned pale
Henry did not go with them. With Felix arriving soon, he was confident that nothing would go wrong. He preferred to head home and spend time with Lydia.Felix arrived very quickly as he was alarmed by the incident. Upon seeing Henry, he immediately recognized him and bowed respectfully. "Master!"Henry frowned at the repeated title, wondering why everyone was using it.As he saw Henry's expression, Felix's fear intensified. He was terrified at the thought of what had happened to Vito and how he had previously crossed paths with Henry.Felix's face turned even paler as he knelt and pleaded, "My men have offended you. Please forgive us!""Hmph!" Henry snorted."You realize your mistake now. Let me clarify—I didn't bother doing it previously. But from now on, if anyone from the Black Tiger Gang dares to cause trouble, you'll be held responsible.""Yes, there will be no more trouble. Anyone who dares to commit illegal acts will regret it for the rest of their lives," Felix said.He
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
