Chester frowned. He thought Henry was really arrogant. If not for the importance of that event, he would not have attended it. After all, the Newmans, a powerful clan, had submitted to the Trumans.At the same time, he could not help but glance at Tim, Bradley, and the others.Henry did not care about their reactions. He smiled and said calmly, "I don't like to waste time. Since most of the guests are here, I'll keep it short."First of all, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for attending the official inauguration of my leadership within the Trumans. I hope you will continue to support the Trumans."Everyone nodded slowly; perhaps Henry was not as arrogant as they thought him to be."Secondly, I have a flight to Hodbridge at 11:30, and it's already 9:15. I don't have much time left."So, those who need to apologize, do it now, and those who need to offer compensation, hand it over."I have other matters to attend to."That's it. Let's get started."Everyone froze at
The Trumans were nervous.After all, Carroll represented a powerful force. From their standpoint, they did not want the Trumans to act aggressively, or it would only make it harder for the Morrisons to hold their heads high in front of them.However, Henry remained calm and asked plainly, "Are you trying to tell me how to do my job, Mr. Morrison?"Carroll was caught off guard momentarily, but then he smirked arrogantly and said, "Whatever you think it is."Henry scoffed and said, "But you're not qualified to do so."His voice turned colder. "You had better stay out of this.""How arrogant!" Carroll was furious.Carroll, being who he was, snapped. "I'm definitely getting involved in this!"If you want an apology and compensation from Nesh and the others, forget it!" Carroll declared.Nesh immediately backed him up and shouted, "Exactly! We were doing fair business. Even though the investment didn't go as planned, we were willing to take the losses. Why should we apologize or co
Oliver had been standing quietly on the side. He dressed slightly oddly, but since no one knew who he was, they did not pay much attention to him. Only Tim had glanced at him and was surprised.He looked like an ordinary person. However, there was no way a regular guy would stand there so calmly.Oliver let out a bitter smile as Henry commanded. He could have spared those who were not a threat to the Trumans. However, Henry's instruction had left him with no choice.Everyone was stunned by Henry's order. They never expected him to order Carroll's death. Furthermore, Nichole was standing beside Carroll.No one could possibly kill Carroll with such a powerful guardian beside him.Carroll was stunned momentarily, then shouted angrily, "How dare you, Henry! You can't kill me!"Carroll was powerful, and with Nichole beside him, he felt safe. Nichole's face also turned cold, and she sneered, "No one can lay a hand on our family leader as long as I'm here!"Henry did not reply but simp
Henry had killed Carroll!They could hardly stand as soon as they recalled how they treated Henry earlier.Hilda was equally shocked. Denise grabbed onto her tightly, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief."Sav—save me, Hilda!"She was genuinely terrified, her face pale as a sheet.Even Tim's expression changed, his eyes full of shock. Oliver's speed when he made his move—it even shook him.Oliver's strength was far beyond his own. At that moment, Tim thought of Charlie, who had disappeared from the Trumans. He initially believed there was no way Henry could have killed Charlie. However, after witnessing Oliver's power, he was somewhat convinced that Charlie might have died at the hands of the Trumans.Where did Henry find such a powerful ally?Chester's face had also changed dramatically. He knew the Trumans were no ordinary family, especially after seeing Dean's terrifying strength. That was why he tried to make peace with them immediately—he knew how powerful Dean was, yet
The entire crowd fell silent.Bradley and Luke were trembling; Henry's ruthlessness terrified them beyond words."No one's angry anymore?" Henry's gaze swept over them. No one had dared to meet his gaze. Even though Tim did not avoid his gaze, he also remained silent."Good! Looks like everyone's anger has vanished. It's my turn now."Henry chuckled, his eyes settling on Nesh. He said, "Mr. Walford of DW Group, with nearly a billion dollars net worth. You're indeed a big shot, aren't you?"Nesh's face paled as he quickly stood up, his expression full of panic."N—no, I'm just a nobody!""Besides Carroll, you shouted the loudest just now." Henry smirked, not even mentioning Nesh's betrayal of the Trumans."No, no, that's not true! I was wrong, Mr. Truman!"Nesh began to tremble uncontrollably and dropped to his knees. "I'm sorry for offending the Trumans and you. Please, please spare me. I'm willing to offer 150 million dollars as compensation.""I was wrong too," Myron quickl
Emily gazed at Henry with complete admiration—he was simply invincible, overwhelmingly handsome. Her only regret was that Henry refused to show her affection.As Henry glanced at the many people kneeling before him, he shook his head lightly and said, "You guys should've done that earlier to save us from so many troubles."And now, Carroll has died because of all of you. If I were to let you off so easily, wouldn't that make his death unjust?"Nichole could not help but shoot a harsh glance at the group. She had not supported confronting Henry head-on, but even though her strength was formidable, she had no control over the internal affairs of the Morrisons and could not make decisions for them.Even Tim frowned slightly. Many of those present were influential figures; if something truly happened to them, it would not bode well for the country.Luke, seeing his father kneeling in terror, grew increasingly fearful as he recalled his own earlier arrogance.Nesh and the others panic
"Very good." Henry nodded.Then, he sighed and shook his head. "If you had apologized immediately, things would've been much better."Many of you wouldn't have had to pay any compensation, and for those who did, it would've been much less."The crowd was speechless."Of course. You realized your mistakes early enough. At least, now you get to keep your lives. Unlike some people..." As Henry's voice trailed off, he turned his gaze to Nesh.Nesh's face went pale. He begged, "Please, Mr. Truman, spare me. I'm willing to serve the Trumans for life, to do anything you ask."Those who had just agreed to give up half their assets—they felt secretly relieved.Nesh was as good as dead. If he died, the Walfords would be finished."The Trumans don't need someone like you," Henry said dismissively."But I won't kill you either. Hand over your shares in your company to the Trumans, and we'll consider the matter settled. How about that?"The crowd was stunned, and even Tim was surprised. N
"You hesitated. That means you're not entirely confident. But that's alright, I'm still willing to give you this chance," Henry said calmly."As long as the Morrisons live in harmony with the Trumans from now on, we can wipe the slate clean. How does that sound?"Nichole was taken aback. She had not expected Henry to show her such respect, and the condition was not unreasonable at all. She quickly replied, "No problem. Thank you, Mr. Truman.""No need to thank me. The four supreme clans of Aurelia City are the pillars of the country. We can compete, but we mustn't destroy each other. We must work together for the nation's strength," Henry said casually.That was his real aim. His initial display of strength and dominance, even the killing intent, had all been to set the stage for that moment. Without showing force, no one would take his words seriously.After that statement, the crowd's perception of Henry shifted once again.Nichole was momentarily stunned, deeply agreeing with
At that point, everything there was over.After everyone dispersed, Shane laughed as he stepped forward. "Henry, you gave me a big surprise this time."I thought you'd need at least five years to catch up to them. I didn't expect you to have achieved such strength. This is entirely beyond my imagination."May I ask what level of strength you are at now?"Shane was curious.Henry shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know it. There's no one to compare with."I only know that if I use my full strength, I can destroy a city with one single wave of my sword."Everyone was utterly stunned, and they murmured helplessly, "Pervert!"Shane was speechless. He shook his head. "Young man, you really amazed me. By the way, when are you getting engaged? Don't delay for too long; I don't have much time left."He was delighted with Henry and was hoping to be able to attend their wedding.Henry smiled and said, "Elder Master Drayson, have you forgotten what I said yesterday? I'll help you re
Henry's domineering words made the people of Aurelia excited.They were so enthusiastic that they had to express their excitement.However, they were confused when Henry ordered them to launch the missiles.What did Henry mean? Why did Henry order the launching of the missiles? Everyone was curious.Everyone else was dumbfounded, too. What order was that?Everyone had doubts in their mind.At the same time, the person at the missile base was sweating profusely. He had to execute the order under any circumstances, and he was so nervous that he could not help but reconfirm the order again.Frederick nodded. He had looked into the matter personally to ensure everything was in place without error.If he had not seen Henry's extraordinary strength with his own eyes, he would not have believed that Henry had planned everything. He had even met with Frederick earlier in the morning and made the request.Henry wanted to show how powerful he was in deterring anyone from creating unnece
There were words of praise, excitement, and admiration in Aurelia.In their opinion, Henry was Aurelia's protector.In other places, people were amazed and fearful of Henry's strength.Henry did not care about that. He remembered that there were many troublemakers earlier.In a deep voice, he said, "I heard that over these past few days, many looked down on Aurelia's battling skills because no one was here to deal with them."In that case, I'll let them see how powerful Aurelia's battling skills are. There's no need to trouble those masters who are in seclusion. Those present today can do the same job."Step forward, Jensen."Jensen was stunned. When he heard Henry's order, he quickly gathered his thoughts. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Truman."Jensen was a powerful master trained by Henry. His terrifying aura was clearly displayed at that moment.In an instant, the whole world could feel his strong force. The powerful force gathered in the air made ever
Henry waved his right hand. Jorge flew out of the platform and landed near the few Islehaveners beside their ambassador.Henry had sent Jorge back to them.Next, it would be Lucifer's turn.The audience looked at Henry with admiration and were shocked.Shane and the others who supported Henry were really excited. Earlier, they had thought Aurelia would face a big crisis. They did not expect Henry to solve the matter so easily.Although Lucifer had yet to make a move, it was impossible for Lucifer to defeat Henry so easily."Lucifer, you're up," Henry said.Everyone's heart trembled.The crowd was familiar with Lucifer. He became famous after the battle the day before.It was obvious that Lucifer was much stronger than Jorge. Most importantly, he represented the powerful Westin.Lucifer snorted coldly. He stepped forward and spread his fourteen wings. He looked overpowering and extremely terrifying.The huge pressure created by the wings made everyone feel breathless.Howeve
Jorge's expression looked horrible. He had already taken the first step. Everything would go in vain if he were to give up.So, he got up, knelt in front of Henry again, and shouted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"Slap, slap!Another few heavy slaps on him.Jorge was utterly stunned; he was also shocked and angry."Your voice is too loud. It's disturbing," Henry said.At that moment, any fool would know Henry did it intentionally. He deliberately played tricks on Jorge.That made the Islehaveners feel even more ashamed.An ambassador of Islehaven who was watching the battle stepped forward and said, "Stop! Stop! You're destroying—""Get lost," Henry snorted coldly and waved his right hand.Even though the ambassador was a few hundred meters away, he immediately felt a massive pain in his chest. He flew backward about ten meters away and fainted as he landed on the ground.He was then dragged away.Everyone was shocked.Jorge's expression looked extremely ugly. The pain on his c
Henry's voice contained powerful mental pressure. He controlled it so well that it only targeted Jorge."No!" Jorge gritted his teeth and roared. The power around him gathered crazily, forming a huge and terrifying force he was trying to resist.Everyone was shocked when they saw that.A huge tornado formed above Jorge's head, and a powerful force burst out crazily. Once again, he displayed his amazing and terrifying strength.The overwhelming pressure shocked everyone.Everyone in the country saw that. They were extremely excited. "I knew it. Jorge was only fooling with him. He's showing his real strength now.""That's right. He's finally fighting back. He must teach that guy a cruel lesson."They were all excited. However, their excitement disappeared the next moment, and their expression looked horrible.At that moment, Henry, with a disdainful look, raised his right hand and pressed on the tornado lightly.The terrifying force on Jorge dissipated completely in an instant.
"He's my idol, too!""Mine, too.""Stop pretending. Weren't you arrogant and proud earlier? Keep it going."At that moment, the people of Aurelia cheered, both online and those who were there. Everyone who knew Henry and was close to him was also extremely excited.In contrast, the faces of the people of Islehaven looked ugly; they could not believe what they had seen.They saw Jorge as powerful as God. How could he be crushed? He was even slapped in public, equivalent to a slap on everyone's face. They were furious."Cheater! He must be cheating!""That is a conspiracy. It must be a conspiracy!""Jorge, did you hold back? You wanted them to be happy first and then would beat them out of their asses later?""Get up! Show them how powerful the people of Islehaven are."Similarly, the reaction of the people from the Westin countries was not good either. Everyone was shocked.Some were amazed at Henry's power.Of course, many other countries expressed their support for Aurelia
Jorge frowned when Henry walked up to the platform. He realized he did not manage to sense Henry's strength and power at all.There were only two possibilities. The first was that Henry was so much stronger than himself that Jorge could not sense his strength. Jorge had already managed to sense Shane and Lucifer's strength.Henry could not be much stronger than the two of them.The other possibility was that Henry had learned a secret technique to conceal his strength.If Jorge did not guess wrongly, it should be the latter.'Trying to scare me with that hideous trick?'Jorge sneered and said disdainfully, "Henry, you coward. Are you finally willing to come forward now? I thought you were going to stay hidden forever."Henry smiled, but his smile was a little cold. He said, "Hide? Since when do I need to hide? About half a month ago, you and your master, Lucifer, had to flee from Aurelia. Have you forgotten about that?""Nonsense!"Jorge was furious when he heard that. First,
"I do hope there are stronger masters today; at least let me warm up a little. Otherwise, it'll be really boring for me."Also, I won't be holding back today. Life and death are not considerations once we're on the platform. I'd like to see if anyone in Aurelia isn't afraid of death."As soon as he said that, many people commented again. Many people were thinking about Henry, whom Jorge had mentioned, but Henry had yet to appear.Many Aurelian masters were furious when they heard Jorge's words and were about to rush to the platform.Flynn stepped forward and was about to go up onto the platform.However, Henry took the lead and went to the platform.Manish, standing next to him, was stunned for a moment. He was the strongest master among the several Worship Masters. Manish was stronger than Albus, but he did not stop Henry.Albus specifically instructed him to arrange for Flynn to join the fight first. Even though he would not be able to defeat Jorge, at least he could exhaust t
