"Sure." Lydia quickly agreed."Okay then. By the way, you'll need to gather some funds or assets this time. It will definitely come at a cost," Lewis said.Lydia said, "Yeah, I understand."She became more convinced as she reflected on the situation. After all, everyone pursued their own interests.Jennifer said, "I knew it. We should continue to rely on Lewis for everything. He has saved our family time and again.""Yeah. He had saved us multiple times in such a short period, unlike Henry, who only caused us trouble. You should consider accepting Lewis as your boyfriend," William said.Lydia simply replied, "Oh."Then, she said, "But now, the most important thing is to make preparations."Lydia stood up and left. Since there was a solution, she hoped to resolve the conflict between the Millers and Dominic and the conflict between Henry and the Seltzers, thereby preventing him from being pursued.After leaving the Miller Mansion, Henry called Alex.He was surprised to see Ale
"I'm not sure how to thank you, Mr. Truman. From now on, please let me know if you need anything. I'll do anything for you," Alex said sincerely."Forget about it. You would probably hide somewhere if you encountered a life-threatening situation." Henry shook his head."But, bring along your people and work for me in the future.""That's fantastic! I couldn't have asked for more!" Alex immediately said.Even though it had only been a short time, Alex had seen Mr. Truman's incredible strength. Even his medical skills were unparalleled. He knew he would have a bright future if he followed someone like Henry."Don't get too excited just yet. You're not permitted to engage in any illegal activities while working for me," Henry said."Rest assured. We'll do whatever you say," Alex said."Okay, remember what you said. Otherwise, you've seen what I'm capable of." Henry warned Alex again before asking, "Why did that assassin try to kill you?"Alex gritted his teeth and said, "It must h
"Indeed, only the world's top five assassins could match your power. How could I've harmed you?" Sven said."You're wrong," Henry said, shaking his head."Wrong?" Sven asked.'Does he mean he can't fight the top five?'That made sense. Even though Henry's actions were sensational, they were assassinations rather than direct confrontations."Yes, except for the first one, it may require more effort. Even combined, the rest are no match for me," Henry said casually."This is our third encounter, right?" Sven asked."Thank you for saving my life twice before. I feel so ashamed," Sven responded."It's fate. Here, take this." Henry pulled out a book and tossed it over.He had plenty of resources because he was the Master of Golden Liberty and had previously been given opportunities."What's this?" Sven was perplexed, but he was stunned when he saw the title on the cover."The treasure of the assassin world—the Art of Assassination! Wait! There's also the Ghosty Steps?"These are
"What's wrong, Mr. Truman?" Alex felt the change in Henry."Nothing. Do you know the owner here?" Henry asked."Yes, I'm the owner," Alex responded."Find someone to keep an eye on the private room. If a woman comes in, please notify me immediately," Henry said."Got it!" Alex immediately approached the manager on duty and gave him instructions.Shortly after they sat down, Alex received a message, and Henry stood up and walked out.Lydia followed Lewis into the private room and noticed a young man sitting in the main seat. He must be Carson.Lewis said respectfully, "Young Master Walter!"Carson looked at Lydia indifferently and asked, "Is she the Lydia you mentioned?""Yes," Lewis responded."Have a seat," Carson said."Lydia, let's toast Carson first," Lewis said. There were already plenty of dishes and wine on the table. He poured himself a drink before pouring one for Lydia.Carson was arrogant. He glanced at Lydia and said indifferently, "So, you're Lydia?""Yes!"C
"The decanter is special. It's a dual-chamber decanter with two types of alcohol, and he can choose which one to pour," Henry explained."Stop bullshitting, Henry." Lewis felt guilty."Enough! Do you understand how serious it is to falsely accuse him in front of me?" Carson looked angry."How serious can it be? You're just a fraud." Henry mocked him.Carson's expression changed immediately. He had not expected Henry to notice, which made him uneasy.However, Lydia was even more alarmed. She could not afford to offend Carson.She stood up and angrily confronted Henry. "Henry, what are you doing? Do you want to die? Have you considered the Millers?""I—""Get out of here! You're not welcome here," Lydia said, fearing she would lose hope.Henry frowned. Even though Lydia was being rude, he could not ignore her. Otherwise, Lydia would be doomed."Don't get angry with Lydia, Henry. We're dealing with something very important right now, and we can't afford any disruptions," Lewis e
As Carson walked away decisively, Lydia's face paled, and she sat back dazed."I apologize for saying this, Lydia. But why are you still involved with someone like Henry? He'll harm you eventually. No, he has already harmed you." Lewis sighed."I hadn't expected him to show up today. Can we do something else?" Lydia asked.Lewis said, "Let me try."Lewis realized that Henry's appearance would prevent them from succeeding. They needed to do something else."I will go after him. Wait here for me," Lewis said."Okay." Lydia agreed, concerned that Carson would not want to see her.As Lewis was about to head downstairs, he noticed Henry.He was right; Henry had been keeping an eye on him. That made him angry.Without Lydia present, Lewis revealed his true colors. He said coldly, "You're persistent, aren't you?""You're the persistent one. How can you target my wife?" Henry responded calmly."So what? I did put drugs in her drink. Even if you knew about it, who would believe you?
Lydia sighed. "Henry crossed the line, but he's not a bad person. Maybe he was just jealous and misunderstood us." Lydia attempted to explain Henry's behavior."Are you making excuses for him now? If you don't get rid of this scoundrel, he will harm you eventually. No, he has already harmed you." Lewis pretended to be angry.Lydia smiled bitterly.John called to check in on the situation. Lydia had no choice but to be honest about what had just happened.John was furious, but he eventually sighed and said that perhaps it was fate.He then invited them home for a meal to discuss things together. Even Lewis was invited, and he was eager to participate.They continued to condemn Henry at home, and they also complimented Lewis, who thoroughly enjoyed it.Henry returned to the private room after dealing with Lydia. He intended to deal with Dominic after the meal, so Lydia would not have to worry as much.However, he soon learned that Dominic had led many of his Sandite Security Comp
"You know who I am," Dominic spoke coldly.The Millers were stunned by the words, and their faces turned pale. They had not expected the old man before them to be Dominic, a formidable figure in Hodbridge.Mike had just gotten out of jail and had never heard of Dominic. He was so angry that he wanted to explode after being beaten, but John stopped him.John did not look good at all. Dominic was there and named Lydia specifically. What should they do?Dominic looked at everyone coldly and said, "My name is Dominic. I'm here today for one reason—to find the person who harmed the Seltzers."If you're honest with me, you'll not face any consequences. Otherwise, we'll celebrate your death anniversary this time next year.""Yes, Grandmaster Seltzer, please ask for whatever you want. We'll tell you everything we know," Jennifer quickly said."That's right, we'll cooperate with you." William was also quick to express his willingness to cooperate."Very good!""First of all, step forwa
