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
Bradley was also interested in Denise. When he heard that, he said, "Well, for the sake of Denise, let's just forget about it. There's no need to apologize."However, please be careful next time. Don't offend someone you can't afford to do so just for some useless low-level rubbish.""That's right. Some people just need a lesson.""Speaking of which, this man can really keep his composure. No matter how much we mock him, he remains silent.""What's wrong with being calm? He's just a loser who doesn't dare to speak. He only hides behind women.""What are you doing with this kind of trash? By the way, Bradley, I heard that the Trumans defeated the Morrison family. They are meeting guests from all over the world tomorrow. It seems like they will take action against your family?" Luke said with a smile.When Henry did not say a word despite being suppressed, Luke felt incredibly proud."Hmph, so what if they defeated the Morrison family? Can the Trumans afford to offend the whole wo
Henry frowned and shook his head. He said, "First, Hilda and I are just friends. We're not a couple. Secondly, you don't have the ability to deal with me.""How arrogant! Didn't you hear anything just now? Do you even know what we were talking about just now?" Denise laughed out of anger.'How dare he say I'm incapable of dealing with him! Didn't he hear them discussing the rivalry between the Trumans and the Morrisons? Perhaps he doesn't know how terrifying and powerful they are.'"Of course, I know what you are talking about. Isn't that just nonsense?" Henry shook his head."You!" Denise was furious.Hilda explained, "Denise, you misunderstood. We're just friends. Henry, please stop saying anything further. You're all my friends."Denise was furious, but she said coldly, "Well, for Hilda's sake, I'll let you go this time. If there's a next time, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy."She said, "Hilda, open your eyes and see things clearly. Such a self-righteous person isn't w
Henry smiled and said, "You're quite charming yourself. When are you going back to Hodbridge?""I'll go back tomorrow. I've been here a few days and have seen everything I should see. It's time for me to head back and wait for the Miller Group's return," Hilda said with a smile."Alright then. I wish you a safe journey."Henry picked up the glass and proposed a toast.They did not drink much. Henry then sent Hilda back to the hotel.Hilda's original plan was to leave early the following day. However, she could not resist Denise's persuasion to attend a wealthy family's event.Denise also said the event was extremely rare, and there had not been such an event at Aurelia City for years.Denise mainly wanted to introduce some talented and capable young men to Hilda so that she could broaden her horizons and not be cheated by useless and self-righteous rubbish like Henry.Even though Hilda was reluctant, she could not resist Denise's request and had no choice but to agree.
