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,
Albus's expression darkened as he prepared to stand."You won't catch up to him, and even if you do, you're no match for him." Shane shook his head."But he overheard our conversation. Henry may be in danger.""We need to get back as soon as possible, but my body isn't ready for action yet. I need to rest for three more days. In the meantime, you must find a way to warn him to be cautious of the Islehaven's experts," Shane said."However, do it quietly, or it will only expose his identity. Fortunately, we didn't mention his name."Albus nodded. Even if he wanted to locate Henry, he doubted he would succeed in time. "Given his recent activities, if Islehaven is determined, it won't take long for them to learn his identity.""It doesn't matter. By the time they piece things together, we'll be back," Shane replied confidently."No one can harm the future of our country as long as I'm still alive."If necessary, even in his weakened state, he was willing to hold their enemies bac
"Go ahead," Henry said after ensuring his surroundings were secure using his mental strength."I've told you that I'll explain everything after meeting a certain individual. It's time."Albus began to dive into the story. He spoke about Shane and the other three powerhouses, detailing how they had been critically injured and, even after recovery, would not live much longer.Henry was stunned. He never imagined that four individuals of such unparalleled strength existed. Most of all, he deeply admired Shane, who had sacrificed so much for Aurelia. Henry could hear Albus's sincerity, and it was clear the story was real."Is Elder Drayson there? May I speak with him?" Henry asked.Albus glanced at Shane, who nodded and took the phone."Young man, you're quite impressive. The future of our country rests on your shoulders."Henry paused momentarily, surprised, then responded quickly, "You're being too modest, Elder Drayson. You're the true pillar of our nation.""Now we're just bein
"Perhaps it's exactly because of those unique circumstances that they've been willing to stay here with me for 60 years," Shane explained.Clearly, he had advanced 55 years ago, far ahead of the others. That power disparity was likely one reason they feared him and felt the need to join forces.Henry's mind raced. "Is there a way to advance there? If I—""Don't even think about it. That place has been completely destroyed." Shane shook his head, a trace of regret in his voice.Henry sighed. He was not worried about his own safety, but the idea that he might not be able to protect his loved ones or safeguard the country weighed heavily on him."Don't stress about it too much," Shane said."Just focus on your cultivation. I believe in you!"Henry ended the call with a mix of anxiety and uncertainty. Furthermore, the Islehaven could come after him soon. His sleep was disrupted, so he examined the two jade pendants, turning them repeatedly, but found nothing unusual about them.He
Henry and Lydia found a small street vendor and casually enjoyed a simple breakfast.Lydia, who had once been unaccustomed to such places, had found herself not only used to but even fond of those scenes since she started dating Henry. There was something about the laid-back, comfortable atmosphere that she enjoyed."How's your mom doing?" Henry asked with a smile."She's doing well. She's changed a lot." Lydia's face lit up with a joyful smile."Everything that has happened may have been a blessing in disguise. But I feel bad you've had to spend so much money and call in so many favors.""It's not a big deal," Henry replied, meaning it. Lydia felt he was trying to ease her burden, making her adore him even more.She did not know when it happened, but she was entirely occupied by Henry."But—" Henry hesitated, wondering if he should reveal some information to her."But what?" Lydia asked."Nothing. Are you busy today?" Henry switched the topic with a smile."So much to do. It
Time passed quietly, yet Henry was still at a loss despite Shane's guidance. He wondered if it was because of his lack of talent or because he did not have the right environment to advance.Why was it that only Shane and his group of four had been able to comprehend the Principles of Heaven and Earth and reach such terrifying levels? The biggest issue was that Henry needed to know what level they had reached or how powerful they were.He thought he might visit Shane and experience their power firsthand.Henry stood up and checked the time, remembering that he had promised Lydia he would go to the Millers' for dinner to give her parents a chance to apologize. Even though he was not eager to see them, he did not want Lydia to feel uncomfortable.He got into his car and headed off to pick Lydia up from work so they could go together.When Lydia received Henry's call, she was overjoyed and even left work early to wait for him. They headed back to the Miller mansion together.Although
Jennifer's face was filled with fear, but she mustered up some courage and said cautiously, "Don't do anything rash! Lydia's husband is the young master of the Trumans in Aurelia, powerful and feared by all!""What a joke!"Don't even mention the Trumans' young master. Even if the leader of the Trumans were here, I'd crush him with a flick of my hand," Angus said.Angus was familiar with the Trumans in Aurelia. He held them in no regard. As a peak-stage Grandmaster, he had the strength to back up his arrogance.Years ago, he studied martial arts in Aurelia and spoke its language fluently. Despite his confidence, he greatly respected the country's hidden powerhouses, especially the Three Worship Masters, each said to be more terrifying than the last. He knew he was no match for them.Angus waved his hand, and the nearby furniture turned to dust instantly.'What kind of power is that?'Jennifer and the others were utterly shocked, their faces paled with disbelief. They knew Henry
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
