"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
As long as Mia was alive, it was unlikely the bomb would be triggered."You're stalling for time and hoping one of your men will take care of mine, right?" Mia asked calmly.Her words gave the passengers a small glimmer of hope, but Mia quickly dashed it with her next sentence. "Unfortunately, it's a wasted effort. You won't succeed, and it may even cause something terrible.""Oh, really?" Henry was unimpressed. He was intentionally buying time and did not mind dragging out the conversation.Mia smirked. "Let me break it down for you. First, besides the beautiful woman by your side, you didn't bring anyone else on this flight. Second, even if you have someone, my accomplice is securely in the cockpit, and no one can get inside."Henry chuckled softly. "So, I was right.""Even if you were, it wouldn't change anything. My accomplice is perfectly safe in the cockpit. And just so you know, he's an early-stage Grandmaster. Only Earthly Immortal could take him down."But there aren't
Everyone froze in disbelief at the outrageous words.Martha was utterly stunned, her face instantly turning red. She glared at Henry with burning anger.Grace shouted, "You shameless scoundrel!"Emily was about to argue, but Henry held her down. He ignored Grace's outburst and instead turned to Mia, smiling. "I'm sure you can manage such a small request, right?"Mia let out a dry laugh and said, "Not a problem at all."She turned to Martha and asked, "What do you think, Saintess Martha?""I'd rather die!" Martha's face burned with anger. She could not believe Henry would make such an inappropriate request in front of everyone.Mia said coldly, "Martha, you're the saintess from the esteemed Horizon Clan. Are you going to let all these innocent people die because of your stubbornness?"Martha was livid and retorted, "How dare you! You're the one being cruel, threatening to kill them!""I am! But all it takes is one small sacrifice from you to save everyone. Yet you refuse. So wh
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
