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
Manish nodded. Just then, his phone rang. His expression darkened with shock after he answered the call."What did you say?" he exclaimed.Shane had previously said that Lucifer and Jorge would need much more time to recover—how could they have healed so quickly?After hanging up, he turned to Shane, his face grim."Lucifer and Jorge have snuck into Aurelia. Jorge has even set up a public battle ring near the Forbidden Place, openly challenging the masters in Aurelia. He claimed that Aurelia's battling skills originated from Islehaven, calling us weak and pathetic; he alone could defeat every master we have."Furthermore, the insults on the banners he's posted are unbearable, and nearby fighters who've attempted to challenge him have been defeated badly, most of them seriously injured."Shane's expression grew darker. The very thing he feared had come to pass much sooner than expected."It's only been two weeks," he muttered, incredulous."We might have to resort to military ac
As time progressed, Aurelia had grown stronger in various aspects, including technology and military power, despite being relentlessly blocked by external forces. Even under unreasonable, rule-breaking sanctions to undermine its development, Aurelia's progress remained unstoppable.Lucifer frowned. They were informed that Henry had been staying in Serenity Peak and had not left, so they devised a plan to pressure Aurelia and Henry.After all, Aurelia was undoubtedly aware that Henry was their target. Since Henry had begun to comprehend the Principles of Heaven and Earth, it was crucial to eliminate him before anything unexpected happened.Even though Henry posed no real threat to them then, they could not take any risks. However, they had just received news that Henry had secretly left Serenity Peak.The battle arena they set up was working well, with visible results from the online commentary, thanks partly to the global keyboard warriors they had deployed.Surprisingly, some Aur
Meanwhile, at the Miller Mansion.Jennifer was startled by Lydia's question, asking her if William and her were Lydia's biological parents.She suspected Henry might have told Lydia the truth. However, that should not have been the case. After all, she had informed Lydia that she had been abandoned. Since Henry cared about Lydia, he would not have revealed such things to Lydia. However, Jennifer feared Lydia might blame her for not caring about her over the years.Even though Jennifer felt frustrated, she quickly said, "Lydia, we may not have taken good care of you, but we're still your parents.""You think I don't know anything? Henry has already told me everything!" Lydia replied coldly.Jennifer's face changed drastically. She did not expect Henry to reveal the truth to Lydia.She immediately said, "Uh, well…we were just afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it, which was why we hid it from you."After all, you were abandoned by your mother. That would've been too painful for
