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
After further consideration, Henry decided to head to Hodbridge. Given how convenient the transport system was, it would not take much of his time.He had to find out the truth about the matter.It was important for Lydia to confront the pain so that she could heal and move forward. It might be difficult, but facing it head-on would ultimately benefit her.After all, even if they helped her, Jennifer would still be an evil person in the future.Even though Henry was heading to Hodbridge, he still needed to handle the next day's matters.The next day would be the day of the Truman family's celebration, and he had to attend.Otherwise, it might lead to further issues in the future.Henry disliked trouble; he wanted things resolved as quickly as possible.At the same time, Lydia was constantly trying to find out about the Miller Group's situation. She had finally learned all the crazy things her mother had done. She was furious.Lydia could not understand why her mother would alw
Given Charlie's actions toward his family, his visit to the Truman family, and his repeated threats to Henry and others, it was entirely reasonable for Henry to take the necessary action to protect himself and others.Robert nodded. His phone rang at that moment. After answering the call, he looked a little depressed as he said, "Henry, Frederick, the Master of Supreme Defenders, wants to see you alone."Henry was stunned. He did not expect Frederick to call just as they talked about him. He asked, "Alone?""Yes!"Robert said, "I can decline if you don't want to go. As long as you're still alive in the Truman family, no one will dare do anything to us."He was afraid that it would be a trap.Henry was stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't be so nervous. It's just a meeting. I'll go.""But he wants to see you privately, and he won't allow you to bring anyone.""That's not a problem."Henry shook his head and said, "With my strength, it doesn't matter whether I brin
Henry was stunned. He asked, "Elder Master, what are you doing?""You're holding the Commander token. It represents the Master of Supreme Defenders. All the Supreme Defenders must be respectful to you," Albus explained."I see."Henry smiled bitterly and said, "This thing is so precious. I don't know if that's good or bad for me.""Of course, it's good, but it also means you have to take on more responsibilities. The most important thing is that you'll have more security with that thing."Albus thought of the powerful person who had instructed him; perhaps that person would respect the Master of Supreme Defenders."Security?" Henry was surprised."Well, you'll know later. Tomorrow morning, I'll meet him to inform him of your situation. However, Henry, I must remind you that once he comes to you for the jade pendant, you mustn't resist," Albus said."Is he that powerful?""Well, he must be the ultimate strongest person in this world.""Since he's so powerful, why does he need
"Hilda." They greeted Hilda as they approached.When Hilda heard them, she smiled and said, "Lloyd, Denise, you're here. Sorry, I met a friend today. You guys go ahead and eat. I won't be joining you."When the two heard that, they were stunned, especially the lady. They looked at Henry and smiled. "Which friend of yours is so important that you can't eat with us? Is he your lover?""No, he's just a friend," Hilda blushed and explained quickly."It's fine if he's not. Otherwise, we'll have to run a check on him. After all, that guy doesn't look suitable for you."The man next to her, Lloyd, laughed. Hilda was a prey he had set his eyes on. 'If that young man dares to have any relationship with Hilda, he shouldn't blame me for being harsh.'"Lloyd, you must be joking."Hilda was afraid that Henry would get upset or angry. She said, "Henry, this is Lloyd, and she is Denise. They are from the Sanford family in Aurelia City. Their family's status is extraordinary.""Aurelia City's
Hilda felt helpless with what was happening.However, she did not have a solution to the situation. She could only sit next to Henry and talk to him to show him some care.That made Lloyd very unhappy. After all, even though Hilda was a little older, she was still less than 30 years old; she had a good figure and was sexy and tasteful. He rarely got to meet such a wonderful woman."Hey, you…" Lloyd looked sarcastic and disdainful."Henry," Henry said."Oh, Henry, right? You look like a decent person. You should be doing well. Where do you work?" Lloyd asked sarcastically.Henry frowned and said, "I'm a freelancer.""Freelancer? Isn't that equivalent to a vagrant?" A man next to him laughed immediately."Don't say that. If we think about it, which of us isn't a vagrant?" Another young man laughed and sneered."How can we be the same?""He's obviously a low-class person. How can he be the same as us? Which of us doesn't come from a family with wealth and power? What kind of job
