As Henry pointed at Carlos, whose head hung in shame, Roberto and Romano could not hide their discomfort. They had just witnessed Henry's brutal nature, and the killing intent that subtly emanated from him was making it hard for them to breathe.Unable to bear the pressure, Romano yelled out in panic, "Yes, yes! We set you up!"Carlos had his eyes on the women beside you. He planned the whole incident to ruin your reputation and impress them by showing off his strength, hoping to win them over," Romano confessed, holding nothing back.Carlos' face turned deathly pale as he glared at Romano with murderous intent; Romano had made him sound so terrible. He hoped the detail would go unnoticed, but his heart sank when Henry's eyes lit up in surprise."Them?""Y—yes, and two of them as well," Romano said, pointing at Martha and Grace."Carlos got upset when that lady came over to talk to you. He had planned to win them all over, but you spoiled his plan by being close to them."The mo
Henry was not surprised by Mia's appearance. He had noticed her presence, mainly because Mia had clearly targeted him.Mia slowly walked up to Roberto with a charming demeanor. She lifted his chin, letting Roberto gaze at her while she smiled seductively. "Am I beautiful?""Yes!" Roberto replied dazedly."Do you want me?" Mia asked."Yes, I do!" Roberto answered eagerly."Kill yourself if you want me." Mia's voice was calm as she produced a short knife from her hand and placed it in Roberto's grasp.The crowd was in shock. The flight attendants and others were stunned, first by the fact that she had managed to bring a knife aboard and second by her demand for Roberto to commit suicide. Roberto was no fool; he would not just comply.Yet, amidst the astonished and disbelieving gazes, Roberto, after a moment of hesitation, plunged the knife into his own chest."No!" Romano screamed in horror upon witnessing that.However, despite his sister's desperate pleas, Roberto continued to
"Yes, I am," Mia replied. It seemed like Martha had recognized her.In the blink of an eye, she killed Romano instantly by slashing her throat. Martha's face paled with anger, but she remained silent, curious about Mia's true intentions. Romano's death was unfortunate, but she was not worth defending, given her previous actions.Carlos was utterly panicked—the other two had offended Henry, just like he did. He saw Mia's gaze on him, and fear overtook him. He immediately fell to his knees and pleaded, "Please don't kill me! I'll do anything you ask!"Then, he turned to Henry and begged miserably, "I'm sorry. I truly am! Please spare me!"Henry frowned and said, "It's up to her if she decides to kill you. I won't interfere, but I won't save you either.""Please, sir, I beg you! If you save me, I'll do anything you want." Carlos was terrified.Henry hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's your father's name?""Ced—Cedric Truman," Carlos replied quickly, not understanding why that
Henry remained unaffected by Mia, as well as Emily and Martha. They practiced extraordinary techniques, which made them impervious to such tricks.While Martha had yet to advance to an Earthly Immortal, she had been cultivating the Soul Cultivation Technique. The Horizon Clan was a super clan with Earthly Immortals, and she naturally knew how to advance further.Henry calmly said, "Tell me why I should comply."He knew Mia was not naive. She must have something up her sleeve.Mia replied with a cold smile, "It's simple. I control the lives of everyone on this plane, including yours and your companions'."Her words sent a chill through the passengers. They might have scoffed at her claims initially, but fear began to take hold after witnessing her earlier actions.Even Henry frowned and scrutinized Mia closely."How are you going to kill us? Tell me," Henry said.Mia smirked. "A madman recently developed a bomb that could be implanted into one's body and linked to one's heartbea
It was nearly impossible to make a late-stage Grandmaster completely lose consciousness; killing or catching them was much easier.At least Martha thought it was impossible, even a peak-stage Grandmaster, especially against someone as swift and elusive as the Foxy Lady.However, Henry remained calm as he said softly, "I can.""You think I'm a child you can fool?" Mia was furious—it was impossible, not even if he had just advanced in an Earthly Immortal.Mia already knew Henry's strength. That was why she never got close to him, even backing off a little after all the talks.Carlos was stunned. As a Truman, even though he was from a smaller family branch, he was still somewhat important and knew how the martial world was structured.Grandmasters were the strongest fighters, and Brice, the Ivory Unicorn, was a peak-stage Grandmaster.Mia did not seem weaker than Brice.It sounded impossible for Carlos to take her down in a millisecond; a terrifying person like her had planted a b
Martha did not actually like Henry. She only felt unsatisfied, wondering what made her less worthy than Emily. However, she realized she had asked for too much after thinking it over.Everyone else went pale at Henry's words. It was clear Mia would do as she threatened, but Henry did not care about their lives.Mia was taken aback for a second, but she quickly smirked. "You may not care about the others, but if the plane blows up, do you think you can survive?"She paused, then said, "And you'll have to bring someone along."Henry frowned.Most people could not survive that, not even Earthly Immortals.However, he was not just an ordinary Earthly Immortal; he was a peak-stage Earthly Immortal with the help of the Sacred Relic. He was confident he could survive, though he might get hurt. However, taking someone else along would be tricky.The others let out a sigh of relief as they saw Henry frown. They figured he had been bluffing. If that were the case, then even if he did not
Everyone was stunned by Mia's words, wondering what else she had up her sleeve.Henry immediately figured it out and calmly asked, "You've got an accomplice with the same bomb as you, don't you?"He had suspected that. She was not alone, and she would not risk giving such an important bomb to many. Most likely, it was just her subordinates who would only act with her orders.The others turned even paler."How smart you are!" Mia smirked."Since you're so clever, I won't hide it from you. I have several of them hidden among the passengers."The more everyone heard, the more terrified they became. No one would have thought Mia had brought so many extremists on board.Henry was unimpressed and retorted, "You're bluffing. You don't have that many accomplices and only one person has a bomb. And he's already in the cockpit now."Henry used his mental strength to observe Mia's reaction.Her response gave it away—he was right.All he had to do was deal with Mia and the bomber in the
"Shut up!"Before Henry could respond to the tearful pleas, Emily snapped. She could not stand the sight of those cowardly people trying to pressure Henry.She yelled furiously, "Stop trying to guilt-trip my young master! Go after that vicious woman!"Her harsh words left everyone embarrassed. Mia was the real threat, someone who would kill without hesitation, while Henry appeared far more merciful. They felt bold enough to plead with him because of that.One person argued, "If he just hands over the pendant, we can all live!"And isn't that also about saving your own life?""Exactly," Mindy, concerned about her own safety, chimed in."Yeah, there are over 200 people on this plane. Is a jade pendant really worth that many lives?""If you're a real man, you'll hand over the pendant, save everyone, and save yourself!" another passenger said."You people!"Emily was enraged as everyone joined the sentiment, except for Fanny, who hesitated but ultimately said nothing. She wanted
