Lydia blushed as she quickly let go of him. She scolded playfully, "Why were you holding on so tightly then?"The next moment, she quickly talked about something else. "Thanks for helping my mom out.""Are you serious about being so formal between us?""Okay, fine. But are you sure everything is sorted?" Lydia asked."It's all taken care of," he replied.Meanwhile, Henry handed her a piece of paper as he talked."Here's a list of questions they might ask at the press conference. Just stick to the plan when you answer."Once the press conference is over, the Everising Chamber of Commerce and others will announce their support for the Miller Group."All in all, the Miller Group will return to normal in three days or less."Lydia was overjoyed. It seemed that Henry had efficiently handled the problems, which had felt overwhelming and nearly impossible to solve."Thank you. I would've been lost without you.""There you go again. If you want to thank me, why don't we get to a pri
Lydia's words were immediately met with a round of applause from the audience. Excitement filled the room, especially among the Miller Group employees and business partners who had close ties with the company.A Q & A session then followed the official announcement. One of the first questions came quickly."Ms. Miller, first of all, we greatly admire your courage and responsibility in taking over the Miller Group. But even if large funds are invested to save the company, how do you plan to handle the victims whose appearances were damaged by the cosmetics?"The crowd went silent, their eyes locked on Lydia. That was a concern on everyone's mind, and they all wanted to hear her response.Lydia remained calm, knowing that the question was anticipated. Henry had even written the answer for her on the paper he had given her. She smiled gently and said, "Rest assured, we've already solved that issue."The audience was taken aback, and the reporter immediately followed up with a questio
"Who knows? Maybe they've found some special way to hide everything. I mean, look at their skin. It wasn't that good before!" someone in the crowd said."No, it's real. I'm one of the victims," one of the women on stage said."More like a paid actor," the skeptic scoffed."I am. We were treated together yesterday.""Are you kidding? You expected us to believe that was done in a day?""He's not lying. I'm one of the victims, too," another person from the group chimed in."Another one?" the crowd murmured in surprise.Many people were still skeptical. Even though they had once despised the Miller Group, with the issue resolved and having received compensation, they could not stand to see Lydia being misunderstood. After all, the previous issues were not her fault, and she had stepped up to fix everything.Despite that, doubts persisted.A reporter asked, "Ms. Miller, their faces are fully healed, but why is their skin so much better than before?"Lydia smiled and replied confid
As soon as Lydia finished speaking, the entire room was once again taken aback. The corporations she had just mentioned were all powerhouses. Since they had publicly announced their support, there were no obstacles for the Miller Group to get back on track.The reporters finally realized their supervisors had given them strict instructions to be considerate and not be harsh on the Miller Group. Clearly, the Miller Group had far more formidable backing than anyone had imagined.At the same time, Jeffery and Dustin released official statements announcing their full support for the Miller Group's rebuilding efforts. In an instant, the Miller Group had gained all the attention, and those major players were eager to curry favor with them.At that point, no one doubted that the Miller Group was about to have a strong comeback—likely even more powerful than before.Lydia observed the astonished expressions of the crowd, knowing that all of that was possible because of Henry. Without him,
"Don't worry about it." Henry shook his head, unsure how much progress Jeffery had made with the investigation. Without knowing the full details, he thought it best to keep Lydia in the dark."I know you're only so tolerant of her because of me. But she told me a lot this time, and I could tell she understood her mistakes. She even promised to treat you better from now on," Lydia said.Henry was taken aback. "She admitted her mistakes?"Lydia nodded. "Yeah, she used to be so domineering and unreasonable. But this time, she seemed genuinely ashamed, even scolding herself."Henry immediately suspected that Jennifer was putting on an act, but he decided to keep quiet about it, waiting for Jeffery's investigation results before saying anything.At that moment, Lydia's phone rang. It was Jennifer."Lydia, I'm getting out! Thank you! And thank Henry for me. If it weren't for him, I'd be done for."Jennifer had been given special permission to watch the press conference, and she was as
As expected, Jeffery quickly replied, "I have something on hand. Serenity Peak Hospital was once a very well-known hospital for the wealthy. "Ms. Miller's mother, Jennifer, gave birth there, just as she said. And on the same day, a baby girl passed away shortly after birth."Henry frowned at that. He asked, "What else did you find?""Well, here's where it gets interesting. The birthdate on Ms. Miller's ID doesn't match her actual birthdate, and there is about a half-month difference. "However, from our understanding, she was indeed born on that day, meaning her recorded date of birth was falsified."So, it seems the Millers are hiding something," Jeffery explained.Henry's expression darkened. Jennifer was definitely up to something. "She must've been trying to conceal Lydia's true identity by changing her birth date.""Who was the mother of the baby girl who died that day? Do you know where she came from?" Henry asked.Jeffery sighed. "I'm still investigating that. The woman
Henry examined the jade bracelet carefully. It was not an ordinary item; its cool, calming sensation refreshed his mind and spirit. The faint presence of a cultivator's aura on it suggested that it was a rare treasure.That confirmed his suspicion that Lydia's biological mother was not just an ordinary person. Even if she was not a cultivator, she had to be from a prestigious family.Henry managed to narrow the investigation significantly. He immediately assigned the task to several major forces, including the Golden Liberty, instructing them to search for Trinity with full effort.Once she was found, the truth would be revealed.Unaware of the bracelet's significance, Chansey asked, "Henry, that bracelet is so beautiful! Does it have any special abilities?"Jeffery had not told Chansey the details—he would not dare divulge anything without Henry's permission.Henry was caught off guard and replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just an heirloom from an elder. Why did your dad have
Albus' face shifted dramatically. Shane Drayson, the strongest and most terrifying person in the world, was running out of time.He knew all too well that Shane was the strongest in the world. No Earthly Immortals, or even himself, could match the elder, not even for a single move.Even though the three were not as strong as Shane, they were still unparalleled mightsters who had mastered the Principles of Heaven and Earth; the difference in strength could not be too significant.Who could possibly stop them if they truly invaded Aurelia?While Henry was incredibly powerful, the gap between him and those three was still vast. Perhaps the only hope lay in unraveling the secrets of the jade pendant."What happened, Elder Drayson? Weren't you all working together to fight the monster?" Albus asked, still struggling to understand."After defeating the monster, they turned on me," Shane replied, his face dark with anger.Albus was shocked. Their strength was not far off from Shane's,
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
