Albus could not just stand idly by. He appeared behind Charlie and began to channel his powerful vital energy directly into Charlie's body. Since they practiced the same martial arts technique, their energies did not clash; instead, they combined, making Charlie's strength skyrocket quickly.Charlie could feel the surge of power inside him, and for a moment, he believed he might have a chance to defeat Henry.Henry noticed that but showed little reaction. He frowned slightly. As for the Newmans, they were running away as fast as they could, knowing they were far too weak.Preston hesitated for a moment but caught Charlie's warning glance. His years of fear made him too scared to run, so he joined the attack, not realizing it was the worst choice he could have made.The Trumans noticed the powerhouses had activated their strongest technique and were taking pills to enhance their strength.Meanwhile, Robert and the others watched Henry go up against those four powerhouses, each usin
At the same time, Charlie collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Even in his final moments, he could not believe that was how he would die. He was supposed to obtain the jade pendant's secrets, become invincible, and dominate the world!"Charlie!" Albus, with his severely injured body, rushed over and held Charlie. Sadness filled his eyes. While he did not always agree with Charlie's actions, they had shared a long history.That scene shocked everyone present—including Alisa, Oliver, and Hal.Henry's latest attack had wiped out the Newmans. Only Hal survived, though he was severely injured.Robert and the remaining Trumans could not process what they had just witnessed. No one could have predicted such an outcome—those powerhouses had been defeated by Henry's single sword strike.Two Earthly Immortals died on the spot, and three others were severely injured. Aside from Preston, every one of them was a top-tier Earthly Immortal.Henry's power was unparalleled!Yet, he remained calm a
At that moment, numerous families outside, oblivious to Charlie's presence, eagerly anticipated updates on the clash between the Trumans and Newmans. Particularly individuals like Nesh, who, at the crucial moment, severed their supply chain to the Trumans and boldly allied with the Newmans instead. Their betrayal was plain and bold."What's going on? Why haven't we heard anything yet?" Nesh Walford's face was filled with anxiety. He could not hide his nervousness, even with his massive wealth.He had thought that the Newmans taking down the Trumans was practically a done deal, but an unsettling feeling began to creep in as time dragged on."Don't worry, Mr. Walford. With the Newmans' strength and tacit approval from the higher-ups, even the Draysons are backing them. No matter how capable the Trumans are, they're finished.""True, I'm probably overthinking it. Maybe we should start figuring out how to benefit from this situation," Nesh said.The group around him became visibly exc
"You'll oversee the takeover of the Newmans' assets. Kill those who resist!" Henry ordered sternly."Yes, Chief!" Cedric replied immediately."And remember, if Hal dares to act out in any way, don't hesitate to gut him. Understood?" Henry said casually."Yes!" Cedric nodded firmly.After that, Henry turned his attention to Yuvan and said, "Yuvan!""Yes, Chief!" Yuvan quickly stepped forward."You'll handle all matters related to our business partners. Those who betrayed us are no longer welcome. Also, they must compensate us for the damages caused during that period."As for the compensation amount, I'll leave that to your discretion. Any issues with that?" Henry asked."But…what if they refuse to pay?" Yuvan asked hesitantly."If they refuse, they're not worth keeping around. Rest assured, they will pay up," Henry said.Once everything was resolved, Henry wanted to make sure that everyone involved in betraying the Trumans would personally come forward to offer compensation a
As soon as those words came out, everyone was naturally very excited, especially those loyal to Robert and ready to sacrifice.As for those who had rebelled and followed Severus, they were nervous again.However, Henry said, "As for those who follow Severus, even though there's no reward for you, you won't be held accountable for any of your previous faults. As long as you perform well in the future, the Truman family will never treat you unfairly."Everyone was relieved when they heard that. They began to look forward to working together for the future development of the Truman family.After the Truman family's affairs were dealt with, Henry looked at Oliver.During that period, Oliver had been thinking. Henry had not killed him, which meant he still had a chance.When he saw Henry looking at him, Oliver said, "Master, I'm innocent. I came here simply because I didn't have a choice.""Who could've forced you to do that?" Henry asked coldly.Oliver was silent. He dared not ment
"I choose to protect the Truman family for three years." Oliver looked helpless.He had no choice. He had to bow to the one in charge.Henry moved his right hand. A mysterious and powerful force grabbed Oliver under his hand and pulled him toward Henry.Oliver was horrified. He exclaimed, "I've chosen to protect! I've chosen to protect!""Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you!"Henry was speechless. Oliver, who seemed to be so carefree, was so afraid of death. After Oliver went near Henry, Henry slapped him several times.Oliver felt a stream of pure, amazing energy penetrating his body. All of his physical injuries disappeared.His internal core was damaged as he had exerted all of his power beyond his capability. However, with just a few moves from Henry, he started to feel better.After just a short moment, he felt like he was completely healed.That was exciting. Oliver's greatest pursuit was cultivation. Damage to his internal core would have had a significant impact on
"Listen carefully. Don't breathe a word about Charlie and the others' appearance here to anyone," Henry said.The Truman family had been oppressed for far too long and urgently needed a boost of strength. Considering Charlie's exceptional identity, publicizing the matter could harm the Truman family.Albus was shocked when he heard Henry's order. He secretly praised Henry. Even though his apprentice was powerful, his mind was clear.After all, Charlie represented the Supreme Defenders, the official authority of Aurelia. If that were not brought up, there would always be room for negotiation and resolutions.Otherwise, it would be a challenge for Aurelia.Although everyone was puzzled, they still responded very respectfully. No matter what Henry's order was, they were convinced."Dismiss!" Henry said.Under his command, the internal conflict in the Truman family was finally resolved.Many other problems had also been fixed. The Truman family would march toward speedy improvement
Just as everyone was happy to have the chance to apologize, they learned that the Trumans wanted something terrifying—almost half of their family assets.That angered everyone.Many top families were furious. However, the Newman family was submissive; they would be the Trumans' followers. That made many people feel frustrated.Many top families tried their best to find other protectors who were equally powerful. The Drayson family in Aurelia City was everyone's first choice. They were willing to pay a huge price for the Drayson family to step up.However, they were shocked that despite their willingness to pay a huge price, the Drayson family was unwilling to come forward and announced that they would not interfere.Was the Drayson family afraid?Not only the outsiders but even the Draysons were puzzled. Roshan, the leader of the Drayson family, asked, "Tim, are we really going to ignore this matter?"If we were to do that, everyone would only think that the Drayson family is af
