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
After getting everything ready, the two women went to the door and carefully opened a small gap. Suddenly, Cecilia's face turned pale, and she quickly shut the door.She was stunned."What's wrong?" Lora asked."There are a lot of people outside.""What? They're already here? What do we do?" Lora's face paled.After a moment, she said, "Why aren't they knocking?""Yeah, and why is it so quiet? It looks like they're kneeling out there.""Seriously? Let me take a look.""Be careful. What if they try to force their way in?""They would've done it already if they wanted to. That door wouldn't have stopped them.""You're right."The two women carefully opened the door again. There was indeed a large group of people outside, all kneeling.When they saw the door open, they did not move. Denny said, "Ms. Leon, Ms. Stein, we're sorry. We're here to ask for your forgiveness."The women were about to close the door again but stopped when they heard that.Felix quickly said, "Yes, th
As they thought about the danger from the Hoods, Cecilia and Lora hoped they would not find fault with Henry.For themselves, they had to get rid of those people and escape quickly.The women did not say anything and looked terrified; Denny was worried that he would be doomed if they did not forgive him.He looked at Felix for help.Felix also wanted to resolve that quickly, as he had to explain it to Henry. So he said, "They know they're in the wrong. I also know they've caused both of you a lot of distress."To make it right, they're offering 300,000 dollars in compensation for your suffering. Please forgive their mistakes!"Cecilia was shocked. Her family always asked her for money, so she needed it. However, they could not take it, especially if the Hoods were to go after them.She quickly said, "We don't want anything. Just go away.""Yes, let's forget about this. You can leave now. We have other matters to attend to!" Lora said.The two women looked nervous, which made F
Cecilia and Lora were utterly stunned by Felix's words.They knew Henry was powerful in Hodbridge but never imagined him so formidable, even in the provincial capital.At that moment, they remembered what Henry had said—that the Hoods did not matter to him.Seeing their reaction, Felix knew he had guessed right. He quickly said, "Don't worry. Please provide us with an account number. We'll send you the money before noon to compensate for our mistakes.""No, you don't need to," Cecilia and Lora said quickly.Denny was thrilled. Even though it was Felix's idea to offer it, they would have to pay it back later.However, Felix said, "No, you must take the money. Otherwise, they won't survive the night.""Okay, we'll accept it," the women said reluctantly, knowing it was the only way to save those people's lives.Afterward, Denny apologized again and even knelt at Felix's request before leaving.That made the women uncomfortable, and they kept trying to avoid it.Once they were go
"What did you say? You agreed?" Robert asked, momentarily stunned."Yes. I agreed," Henry said."That's great! Thank you so much!" Robert was overjoyed. He had not hoped for much when he made the call.He had not expected Henry to agree.Henry was the Master of Golden Liberty and was rumored to be a Grandmaster. His strength was comparable to that of the top families in Aurelia City, like the Newmans.If he stepped in, he should be able to resolve the Trumans' crisis."Don't get too excited yet. I have one more condition," Henry said calmly."Go ahead, whatever it is!" Robert quickly replied without hesitation."Everyone in the Trumans must follow my orders and arrangements.""No problem. I'll make you the family leader once you get back.""I'm not interested in that," Henry said, shaking his head."Alright, we'll talk about that later. When will you come?" Robert asked urgently, hoping to find a way to make Henry take the position."I have a few things to handle. It'll be
When Lydia realized Heney was back, she smiled in relief."Weren't you supposed to be out all night?""Yeah, I was, but then I thought about you being home alone. So, I handed off my work and returned to keep you company," Henry replied with a gentle smile as he pulled Lydia into his arms. It had been too long since he had held her.Lydia blushed, protesting softly as she melted into his embrace."You always bully me," she murmured and scolded Henry playfully.However, Lydia's expression changed as soon as she spoke. She caught a scent—several, in fact. Lydia had always been sensitive to fragrances, especially after building her cosmetics line at the Miller Group and later overseeing the perfume division of Sky Avenue Group. The subtle mix of perfumes clinging to Henry's clothes made her tense.She wondered how many women he had been with that night.Henry immediately noticed the shift in Lydia's demeanor."What's wrong?" he asked.Lydia's expression grew cold as she pulled aw
Henry smiled bitterly. Even though he did not fully understand what Lydia meant, it seemed she was still willing to talk, so he decided to let it go and continue the next day.The following morning, Henry prepared a lavish breakfast ahead of time. When Lydia got up, she was as beautiful as ever, but her face showed weariness. Clearly, she had not slept well and was not happy.Henry felt sorry for it. He decided to tell her everything. After all, he did not care about someone like Jennifer. He said, "Lydia, about last night—""Don't worry about it. I've already figured it out," Lydia said, interrupting him.'Figured out what?' Henry was puzzled.Lydia glanced at him and said, "I understand that with your abilities and talents, countless amazing women will always throw themselves at you."If I were you, I probably couldn't resist either.""Lydia—" Henry could tell she had misunderstood."Don't speak; just listen to me.""Okay, you go ahead.""I've been thinking a lot about that
Lydia began to doubt herself. However, she could not explain the scent of perfume. Also, she had seen women like Chansey getting close to him a few times. Those women were all so exceptional that it made her wonder if her constant opposition might have the opposite effect.That line of thinking led her to consider compromising to protect her position as the legitimate wife. Somewhere along the way, her feelings had changed—from wanting to push Henry away to fearing he might leave her, and she found herself willing to do whatever it took to keep him."Yes!" Henry said with a smile."You can rest assured.""Hmm, but my words still stand," Lydia replied, placing her hand over Henry's to stop him from speaking further."Don't deny it so quickly. No one knows about the future."Besides, someone told me that you were destined to have more than one woman in your life," she said"Who said that? Tell me, and I'll rip his mouth off!" Henry was irritated."It doesn't matter anymore. I don
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
