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
Henry did not care about the speculations and changes. After dispersing the Trumans, he looked at his teacher, Albus.He raised his right hand and slowly exerted vital energy into the air, penetrating Albus's body.Albus' expression did not change, and he allowed the vital energy to infiltrate his body without any resistance. He felt warm all over, and many of his hidden injuries disappeared. He thought that his strength was even better than before.Even after everything that had happened, his disciple continued to treat him well. Albus sighed. Henry's safety was definitely worth worrying about."Are you afraid that I'd hurt you?" Henry asked."If you wanted to hurt me, resistance would have been futile. Just as you believe in me, I believe in you, too," Albus said.Henry was silent."Henry, if you have anything to say, just say it.""Nothing. I didn't expect we'd end up on opposite sides.""We don't necessarily have to be on opposite sides." Albus shook his head."Didn't we
Henry was surprised. Jennifer was good for nothing other than ruining the company. She had only been handling the company for a short time. Yet, she had put the company into such a horrible state.She was also about to put herself in jail."Master of Golden Liberty, there's another situation that I need to report to you. Please listen to this recording."The man then played a recording.The contents of the recording were irrelevant. What was crucial was that Jennifer cursed, saying, "Damn it. She's such an ungrateful bitch. I knew raising a child not biologically mine was a waste!"Henry was shocked. His suspicion might be accurate—Lydia might not be Jennifer's biological daughter.Henry always believed that how Jennifer and her husband treated Lydia was unusual. However, with so many strange things in the world, Henry thought William and Jennifer were simply peculiar people.From the recording, it appeared that was not the case.That was also the only way to explain why they c
