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
Meanwhile, back at the Truman Mansion…As Henry's voice rang out, dripping with apparent disdain, everyone turned to check out the owner of that voice.The moment they saw Henry, many were momentarily stunned; he looked somewhat similar to Albert, which caught their attention. The older members of the Trumans, especially those like Kylie, were visibly shaken as they fixed their eyes on Henry. While many similar-looking people could be found worldwide, Kylie could not help but feel a surge of excitement.Yuvan and other elder members were surprised as well.Severus, however, was fuming. He had not expected Henry to arrive earlier than he had anticipated. However, it did not matter; he had absolute control over everything. Even if Albus showed up, it probably would not make a difference.He had prepared for a head-on confrontation if necessary.Robert should have been happy about it, but he was not.The two powerhouses standing beside Severus were terrifyingly powerful. Robert was
Kylie's face flushed with embarrassment, amazed by Henry's memory. It also proved that he was indeed Harry, as no one else knew that detail, and she had never shared it with anyone."You're Harry! You really are!" Kylie could not hold back her tears of joy and stepped forward to hug him tightly.Henry embraced her gently. He would have found Kylie much earlier if he had not wanted to keep his presence from the Trumans.After a long while, Kylie said excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming home? And where have you been all these years? Why didn't you find me?""I wanted to, but there were those in the Trumans who wanted me dead. I couldn't risk exposing myself," Henry said calmly."What?"Kylie was furious, her anger palpable as she stepped back, her aura cold.Severus' face darkened with rage. "What do you mean? Don't make baseless accusations.""Did I say it was you?" Henry said with a mocking tone.Severus' face darkened as he snapped back, "Didn't you say someone
"Hmph! Eldest grandson? Who can prove your identity? Who knows if you're some imposter's bastard?" Severus sneered, his words sparking whispers among the crowd. Severus was right—no matter how much he resembled a Truman, no one could verify his identity."I can!"Suddenly, a cold female voice broke through. Two figures stepped forward—it was Anna, followed by Crowley, whose strength was just a step away from being an Earthly Immortal, the same as Anna herself.Her arrival caused a stir. Many recognized her, and even Robert sighed as he greeted her. Anna nodded but remained silent, holding a lingering grudge toward the Trumans despite knowing it was not entirely Robert's fault."I can vouch for him. Is that enough?" Anna asked coldly."Hah! You were separated from him years ago. How are you able to vouch for him?" Severus shot back."Yes, we were separated, thanks to you, Severus," Anna responded, her voice laced with killing intent as she glared at him. She realized Severus was t
