Martha was genuinely shaken by Henry's overwhelming power. After all, even if he were an Earthly Immortal, he still would not be a match for Alisa, her master. If Alisa had been there, she could have easily knocked Mia unconscious with a single move.In other words, Henry could not compare to Alisa.However, it was still difficult for Martha to believe Henry had advanced to an Earthly Immortal at such a young age.'Wait, what if he only looked young? What if he were an old man who had reversed his aging process?'If that were true, did that mean I had kissed an old man?' she thought.The thought made Martha feel queasy, and she almost gagged."Young Master!" Emily rushed over."Is everything alright?" she asked, concerned."Yeah, she's down." Henry nodded. When Mia was knocked out, he used his formidable abilities to examine her body thoroughly.He confirmed that Mia had implanted the bomb in her body. At the same time, Henry had sensed something earlier. He was also confident
Emily's bold remarks left Martha completely stunned. She had intended to insult her, but Emily seemed to take pride in what she said as if it were something to boast about."Alright, that's enough," Henry said with a helpless smile.He turned to Martha and said, "Ms. Philips, Emily likes to joke around. Don't take her too seriously."As for my age, there's no harm in telling you—I'm in my late 20s. I hope that clears things up."Martha blinked in surprise, unable to believe Henry was only in his late 20s—they were about the same age.How was that even possible?She was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy with access to immense resources, and even with all that, advancing to Earthly Immortal in less than 10 or 20 years of cultivation was a far-off goal. How could Henry have possibly achieved that?"You're not lying to me, are you?" Martha asked skeptically."I'm not. Besides, it's easy enough to verify. You can check for yourself if you want," Henry replied, confused by how fixated s
Henry turned on his mobile data and immediately received a message—Severus had already taken action some time ago.Without waiting to contact Martha, Henry swiftly went to the Truman Mansion with Herwig and Emily.Martha hoped Henry would approach her after getting off the plane. After all, even though they had agreed to work together, they had not exchanged contact information. He should have reached out to Martha to get her contact. There was no way for Martha to track him down herself!What infuriated her was how Henry walked past her without so much a glance.'Henry! You're such a jerk! You took advantage of me and then just ran off!' she fumed silently.Meanwhile, at the Truman Mansion, Robert was grim-faced. Despite being somewhat prepared, he had not expected Severus to be so bold and desperate in his quest as the family leader.He also had not anticipated that so many people would support Severus, including Troy and Benji, the family's long-standing worshipers, Garrett, a
At that moment, Garrett stepped forward to deflect attention from his father's darker past. "No point to argue that now. We need someone capable and decisive to lead us out of this mess. You should step down.""That's right. The Trumans need a capable leader. Please step down, Robert!""Step down!""Step down!"Everyone present echoed in agreement."Are all of you out of your mind?" Standing beside Robert, Cedric looked in utter disbelief at the sea of supporters. Cedric was from one of the few powerful Truman branches still loyal to Robert."You're old, Father, and you're no longer fit to lead the family. Let Severus take the reins. I believe we will rise again under his leadership," a cold voice said. It was Kylie Truman, standing with an impassive expression."Kylie, you—" Robert was momentarily stunned.Kylie had always been close to Albert and possessed extraordinary talent, though not as impressive as Albert's. Robert thought she would help him fight against Severus' betr
Just then, a commanding voice interrupted the tense atmosphere."It's been many years of fighting by your side, and the Trumans' businesses have been steady and progressing under my care."It was Yuvan Truman, an elder with considerable authority. He managed a significant portion of the family's properties. Many of the key figures in the management were people he had personally mentored. He was one of the most influential members of the Trumans, a prominent leader in their business affairs. His stance held substantial weight."You too?" Robert sighed heavily."Not really," Yuvan responded thoughtfully."I'm always with the Trumans, but the truth is, the family is in disarray. Our martial masters have left, our partners have severed ties, and our competitors are joining forces to take us down. We can't withstand much more of that."However, Severus can fix all of that. He's even secured promises from the Newmans to cease their attacks on us. If he takes over, those problems will r
Kylie's face changed, and she was about to speak up, but Severus immediately cut her off. "Kylie, we have no choice but to subdue Father for now. Don't worry; I won't harm him!""But—""Stop! Don't sweat the small stuff," Severus snapped.Troy leaped into action and charged at Robert. He was a peak-stage Transformative Force master, just one step away from Grandmaster.Kylie was too powerless to intervene.Suddenly, a figure flashed forward. The figure swung a massive blade and roared, "Get back!"Troy felt an overwhelming killing intent. His face paled, and he quickly raised his defense. Even then, the attack left him severely injured, and he crashed heavily to the ground.Blood trickled from his mouth—he was severely injured.Everyone was stunned, pondering the identity of the mysterious figure with such immense power that not even Troy could withstand a single strike.Whoever it was, they had to be at least a Grandmaster.However, the Trumans had no Grandmasters left.Sev
"Are you a peak-stage Grandmaster that can rival Tim, the Cobalt Dragan?" Dexter asked in shock. He could not believe it.Dexter's immense power had already left the crowd astonished. They never expected him to be easily defeated by Jake. Their shock only intensified when Dexter compared Jake's strength to Tim's."Tim is nothing to me now," Jake said arrogantly.Even though Jake had not advanced to an Earthly Immortal, his strength had increased dramatically in recent times, and he longed for a rematch with Tim.Robert's face darkened further; he had not expected Severus to bring such a terrifying powerhouse. While Robert did not know how Severus had managed to recruit such a powerful ally, he was sure the price must have been steep."Exactly!" Severus could not contain his laughter as he saw his father's grim expression."Please meet Jake Stokes, the Deputy Master of Heartless Clan. He's a peak-stage Grandmaster, just one step away from an Earthly Immortal."He's even comparabl
"Hold on!"He's not worthy of the position!"A calm voice came from the door. It was soft but clear enough for everyone to hear.A young man stepped in confidently, followed closely by a stunning woman—Emily. An older man trailed behind them, his powerful presence completely hidden, looking just like an ordinary old man. It was Herwig.The most striking figure was the young man at the front, dressed casually but elegantly.It was Henry!After disembarking from the plane, Henry dealt with Mia before heading straight to the Truman Mansion. He arrived just in time to hear Severus' words. He had been briefed on the situation, so he was well aware of what was going on.Meanwhile, Charlie was waiting for updates from his subordinates. Finally, the news arrived.Albus, who had been staying in Aurelia City to focus on his cultivation, stood beside Charlie. He was working hard to boost his own strength, hoping to get closer to Charlie's.Perhaps he could help when Charlie took action a
