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
Despite Grace's frantic protests, the crowd paid her no mind. They had tried begging, and it had not worked. As for confronting Mia, they were too scared to even think about it, fearing that the instant they knelt, she might decide to start killing.At the same time, Henry received a message from Herwig via the transmission technique, who informed him that he would soon be able to break into the cockpit. Once that was done, everything would be under his control.Martha was in a dilemma as she considered the situation. Even though she was reluctant, she realized that sacrificing herself might be the only way to obtain the pendant.More importantly, despite Henry's rude request, she did not dislike him. His behavior was understandable, given his feelings for her. That made his request seem reasonable.She finally spoke up, cold but determined, "Are you sure you'll give me the pendant and ensure everyone's safety?"Henry was momentarily taken aback. Would she agree? That would certai
