When Shane heard Henry's scream, he was regretful. He could not believe what was happening, and he blamed himself. Just as he was lost in those thoughts, he noticed something changing in Henry.A look of shock crossed his face."Is that..."The Dragon Bloodline?"Henry could feel it, too—an overwhelming surge of terrifying energy coursed through his body. Even his tough body could not withstand the pain. He feared that his newfound power might harm Lydia, so he carefully set her down and stepped back, focusing on guiding the energy within him.Despite Lydia's life gradually fading, Henry refused to give up. He was determined to save her, even as he absorbed the power of his bloodline while keeping his spiritual senses locked on her condition. However, her condition seemed to get more and more chaotic.Shane, still in shock, watched the scene unfold. The Dragon Bloodline he had casually mentioned was real and was fully awakened within Henry.Shane could not believe it. Yet, he wa
Henry's newfound power was overwhelming. He felt as though he could command the Energy of Heaven and Earth at will. Thunder and lightning crackled within his palm, radiating terror without a single ounce of energy leaking out."He—he must be at the intermediate stage of Principles comprehension!" Shane was deeply shocked. Henry had just begun to comprehend the Principle of Heaven and Earth, yet his strength was already advancing at a terrifying pace, approaching Shane's.Albus and the others felt a powerful pressure, almost as if they were about to kneel before Henry.Henry quickly regained control, suppressing his power, and hurried over to Lydia. He scanned her body by using his mental strength, feeling a mix of heartache and relief.He then turned to Albus and bowed with gratitude. "Thank you, Master. I owe this to you.""Don't mention it. If anyone deserves gratitude, it's Master Aurey," Albus replied with a wry smile. He then explained the situation with the missile and how F
Then, Henry asked, "How big is the gap between us?"He would never back down if there were a threat to Aurelia, no matter the danger.Shane responded thoughtfully, "You've reached the mid-stage of Principles comprehension while he's entered the advanced stage. He's still far stronger."As he held Lydia, Henry asked, "How many stages are there?""I'm not entirely sure," Shane said."But according to the legends, there's also the higher-advanced stage. Finally, there's the peak stage. That's the ultimate power in our world."Henry nodded, realizing that the gap was smaller than he had thought. He could feel that he was close to advancing to the next stage.His mind then turned to the man who had stopped him earlier. He asked, "Who was the man who blocked us and ruined our plan?"Shane's face twisted bitterly. "He's my cousin, but don't worry, he won't live for long."Henry nodded, no longer interested. All that mattered to him was Lucifer, the only real threat. Even Jorge no lo
Henry was unaware of the passing time as he was completely immersed in his cultivation. He continuously comprehended the Principles of Heaven and Earth. Three days and nights slipped by.Lydia opened her eyes, bewildered by her recovery. She could not believe she was fully healed. She thought she had died.She turned to see Henry sitting nearby, his body bathed in a radiant light, resembling a heavenly figure.Lydia stood up, astonished to realize she was completely healed. She was alive, and Henry had saved her. She gazed at Henry soft, full of affection.Another twelve days had passed after Lydia woke up. She had nothing to do during that time. She did not need food in her cultivation state, so she spent the time refining her own abilities. Even though she was concerned about Henry's prolonged cultivation, sensing his ever-increasing power reassured her.Finally, Henry opened his eyes. His gaze was profound, as if it contained the unparalleled principles itself. His mere glance
"Really? That's amazing! We won't have to worry about those bad people anymore." Lydia's face lit up with joy.To her, Henry's safety was the most important thing; everything else was secondary."Yes, we won't need to," Henry said with a smile, though a flash of coldness passed through his eyes. He hoped Lucifer would come after him soon enough.Just then, Henry's phone rang. It was Jeffery."Hello.""Master, we've found something important," Jeffery said. He had been trying to reach Henry for several days, and the man had finally answered his phone.Henry moved to the side to avoid being overheard by Lydia. He replied in a low voice, "Go on."Lydia was surprised. Henry clearly did not want her to hear that conversation, but she trusted him and knew he must have his reasons. So, she waited patiently."Ms. Miller isn't Jennifer's daughter indeed, but it's not as Jennifer claimed—that her real mother abandoned her," Jeffery said."Jennifer was desperate to secure her position in
Henry was invincible. She could not think of any troubles that might bother him.Henry sighed softly and said, "Lydia, there's something I've been investigating for a while, and now we've finally found some answers.""What is it? Does it involve me?" Lydia was curious."Yes, and you should be mentally prepared for this.""What's going on?" Lydia's expression tensed."It's about your origins," Henry said carefully, worried she could not handle the truth.Lydia's face paled, and asked in a trembling voice, "Am I not—?"Henry nodded. "Not only are you not Jennifer's daughter, but she also stole you from your birth mother."Lydia was in shock as she knelt. It was bad enough to find out she was not Jennifer's biological child, but learning that she had been stolen was far worse. Lydia had always been strong and resilient, a trait that helped her run her company efficiently.Henry gently consoled her and explained everything he had uncovered.After hearing the whole story, Lydia wa
On the other hand, Jennifer was irritated. She muttered, "That ungrateful brat, Lydia! She's ignoring us now!"She's even ignoring my calls after everything I've done for her. What a waste of my care and concern!"William, sitting nearby, could only manage a helpless smile. Deep down, he knew Lydia would not return willingly after all they had done.As for Jennifer's threat to reveal everything, it was all an act. She knew very well that if the truth came out, they would face dire consequences, especially if they were held accountable by Islehaven. Worst of all, Henry would likely walk away unscathed, and they would alienate Lydia for good.Jennifer still held on to the hope that Lydia might forgive them. After all, she had forgiven them for even worse things with just a few of their sweet words in the past. There was still a chance as long as they did not push things too far.When Jennifer saw William's expression, her anger flared up again. "What's wrong with you? Do you think s
Lydia's expression was even worse.As expected, Henry shot a cold glance at William and Jennifer before suddenly slapping Jennifer hard across the face."You don't deserve to be Lydia's Mom." His voice was icy.Jennifer was stunned, her cheek burning from the impact.Shocked at first, William quickly turned furious and shouted, "What are you doing, Henry?!"Smack!Henry delivered another slap to William."You're no better," he said, his tone just as cold.William was dumbfounded, while Jennifer, hurt and enraged, hesitated, fearful of Henry's intimidating presence. She tried to calm things down and said cautiously, "Henry, what's this all about? You're still mad about last time, aren't you? It was my fault. I know I was wrong."You've slapped me now. Can we just let it go?" she pleaded.William turned to Lydia and asked in frustration, "Lydia, are you really going to stand by and watch as your parents are treated like this?""Are you?" Lydia's voice was cold and distant."H
