"Alright, get up, all of you." Henry waved them off.He shook his head and said calmly, "Their actions were out of line. However, they're just ignorant kids with foolish and brainless behavior. I didn't take it personally."If it were someone else, they'd probably be done by now."Make sure they're appropriately educated moving forward. Remind the rest of your families not to abuse their influence to do whatever they want."Otherwise, someone else will deal with them even if they don't run into me. After all, what goes around comes around.""Understood!" they replied in unison."What are all of you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Truman!" someone urged.With that, the group expressed their gratitude. Henry's casual handling of the situation earned him respect. They did not only deeply fear his immense power but also admired his character.As the matter was mostly resolved, Henry announced, "Alright, since everything here is pretty much settled, I won't stay any longer. I ha
"Do you know what happened to Charlie?" Albus asked after a brief hesitation."Are you referring to his secret establishment of the Draconic Gravekeepers and his collusion with Westin Curia?" Henry responded."It seems the Master of Supreme Defenders has told you everything. The country is unstable these days, and I hope you will protect Aurelia well.""I will."They will be punished!" Henry said. Even though he did not like being constrained, anyone who dared to threaten Aurelia would pay dearly."Good. However, I must remind you—if he truly comes for it, don't resist. Whether you've deciphered the jade pendant, tell him the truth and hand it over."Trust me; we're doing all this for the good of the world," Albus said, unable to resist one last caution.Henry paused briefly and said, "We'll see."Albus sighed. Clearly, Henry still did not fully trust him, but he could not blame him."I'm curious, though. Won't Aurelia be safe under his protection if he's so powerful?" Henry a
Celeste was displeased by Henry's indifference but thought it was a blessing in disguise. She could enjoy some peace without being bothered.However, it seemed her charm was undeniable, as before long, a middle-aged man approached her with a smile."Hi. I'm Rex Hewitt, the director of Sync Sensation Group. May I have the honor of adding you as a friend?" he asked.Celeste paused for a moment.Sync Sensation Group was one of the top companies in the entertainment industry. What a coincidence!She had heard of Rex—an influential figure and one of the shareholders of Sync Sensation Group. However, she had also heard rumors that he had a reputation for exploiting many women with his position."Sorry, I'm not comfortable with that." Celeste was nervous; she rejected his request."Well, we're strangers. Besides, your outstanding temperament might be perfect for stardom. Sync Sensation Group produces many top-tier artists every year," Rex said, clearly captivated by her.He was confid
Rex's expression darkened as he glared at them, suspicious of their claim to be a couple."Really?""Yes. How can I add random strangers in front of my boyfriend?" Celeste said, trying not to offend Rex. She even held Henry's arm and leaned on his shoulder to make her point."Hmph!" Rex snorted and stormed off as they had caught too much attention, though he was still interested in her.Once he was gone, Celeste quickly let go of Henry's arm and hesitated before saying, "Thanks for helping me out just now.""Don't worry about it," Henry replied casually as if the incident had not affected him. He did not even bother to glance her way again.Celeste was speechless by Henry's reaction. She had thought Henry was trying to play hard to get. An ordinary person like him would not reject the money offered by Rex.Celeste decided to wait to make the first move to talk to Henry.To her surprise, time passed, and the plane began its descent toward the airport. Yet, Henry had not said a w
Henry realized it was on the way and nodded. "Alright, I'll take you there.""Great! Thank you so much!" Celeste replied excitedly. It made things easier and, more importantly, safer for her.When they left the airport, she asked, "By the way, what's your name?""Henry Truman. And you?""Me? You'll know me once I remove my sunglasses," Celeste said confidently. Even though she had only been in the entertainment industry for three years, she was already a hugely popular celebrity.'Let's see how long you can keep up that indifferent act once you see my face,' she thought.'Rex would've realized who I was if I'd talked to him before.'Henry did not respond. Once they were out of the airport, he quickly found the person who had been arranged to pick him up.The man, noticing someone with Henry, remembered his instructions and greeted him discreetly, "Mr. Truman, over here."They knew Henry preferred to keep things low-key, so the car was modest. To Celeste's surprise, Henry climb
She had been rejected!Celeste was utterly stunned as Henry had no interest in her. She finally realized that Henry might not be interested in her at all. However, the more distant he seemed, the more intrigued she became.'Is he gay?' she thought.'Anyway, he's pretty interesting. I wonder if I'll get the chance to meet him again.'A radiant smile appeared on Celeste's face, which would have captivated anyone if they had seen it. Unfortunately, there was no one around to witness it.Shortly after, the car arrived at the Hodbridge Police Station.For Henry, Hodbridge was his stronghold, so everything there was convenient for him. All it took was one phone call, and James was already waiting for him at the entrance.Jennifer's situation was something Richard had explicitly instructed to be handled carefully. It was not only because the Miller Group had a significant influence but also because of Henry's connection to the family.As soon as they exchanged a few casual words and r
"I knew it! You're the best son-in-law. You'd never leave me behind."From the first time you came to our family, I knew you were extraordinary—so kind, outstanding, and the best son-in-law anyone could ask for."But I didn't handle things well later on. I didn't make you understand my good intentions, and you misunderstood, thinking I hated you."Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for coming to save me! I swear, from now on, you'll always be my son-in-law."When you and Lydia wed again, William and I will officiate it!"Jennifer was overjoyed. She had already imagined how everyone would admire her once Henry returned, just like the last time so many people had brought gifts. She envisioned Lydia's grand wedding, with her seated in the main seat.Since Henry had come in person, with his vast influence, she was sure he could easily handle it. During her time locked up, she had had plenty of regrets.'How could I have messed up so badly with such a good son-in-law?' she thought
"So, you've been doing all that for my own good, huh?" Henry said, completely at a loss."Yes, yes! Now you finally understand!" Jennifer replied cheerfully.Henry was genuinely speechless. He then coldly asked, "Do you really believe what you're saying?""I do, of course! That's the truth. You've misunderstood me, Henry! I love Lydia so much. How could I bear to break you two apart?" Jennifer replied earnestly.She had to say anything to win Henry back.Unfortunately, Henry was too tired to waste time on her. He said coldly, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush. I can help you, but I have one condition.""Whatever it is! I'll agree to everything you want without conditions!" Jennifer said excitedly, finally thinking she could get out."Don't agree so quickly. Let me ask you—Lydia isn't your biological daughter, right?" Henry asked, his gaze locking onto Jennifer, keenly sensing any fluctuation in her emotion.When Jennifer heard that, she was visibly panicked and grew nervou
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
