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
Lydia's face darkened, and she looked conflicted. Ultimately, she nodded and said, "You can handle it as you see fit."Jennifer panicked. Not only would they lose their wealth and status, but they would also face the possibility of imprisonment.'No! I still look forward to becoming a wealthy matron among the elites!' Jennifer thought.She knelt before Lydia and Henry and cried, "I'm sorry, Lydia! I'm in the wrong, and everything is my fault!""What are you doing? Get up!" Lydia was startled and stepped back immediately. After all, they had been her parents for so many years.Jennifer felt a glimmer of hope and sobbed even more, saying, "No, I won't get up until you forgive me!"I'm truly aware of my mistakes. For the 20 years we've raised you, please give me a chance and spare me!"William knelt and pleaded, "Lydia, you grew up in our family, and your grandpa treated you with so much love. Are you going to ruin our family?"Even if you hate us, don't you care about your grandp
Watching the two leave, Jennifer got up, filled with pain and anger, cursing Lydia and Henry. Her words were particularly harsh, and soon, she turned her ire toward William, blaming him for being useless and allowing her to live in hardship. She lamented that she had never had the chance to become a person of stature or even acquire the Miller Group."What am I supposed to do now? You need to bring in a few million for me to spend! How can I survive if I can't regain my former status in Hodbridge?" she shouted."I've lost everything! You must find a way to reclaim the Miller Group; it's worth tens or even hundreds of millions now! If you can't, I swear I'll divorce you, you worthless man!"The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, and eventually, her overwhelming emotions caused her to faint. William was startled at first, thinking she was overwhelmed with grief. However, realizing something was wrong, he quickly rushed her to the hospital.After tests, he received the medi
Upon learning about the live stream, Henry immediately realized it was the perfect opportunity to find Lydia's biological mother."Lydia, I'm lucky to have you by my side," Henry said, and Lydia nodded in agreement. She understood how terrifyingly powerful Henry was. If he could not find her mother, there would be no other way.Meanwhile, Jeffery dropped the two off at a private dining room and quickly left. He had no intention of interrupting their moment.Henry was focused entirely on Lydia's situation, worried about how much that might affect her. With everything happening so quickly, he had no time for anything else.At that moment, in front of the Forbidden Place in Aurelia City, Tim could no longer hold back and finally stepped into the ring to challenge Jorge. His only reason was to defend Aurelia's honor.Tim's strength after his advancement was terrifying. With one sword slash, he demonstrated overwhelming power. Every move they exchanged unleashed shockwaves of destructi
Just as Jeffery was about to leave the dining room, Henry suddenly said, "Hold on!""Is there anything else you need, Master?" Jeffery immediately stopped and asked."I promised you a great opportunity if you completed that task successfully, right? You did an excellent job this time," Henry said."Master, you're too kind. It's what I should do." Jeffery's heart raced excitedly—his opportunity had finally come.Henry said calmly, "Find a private room, and make sure no one disturbs us.""Yes, sir!" Jeffery, full of excitement, quickly went to make arrangements. Since that property belonged to his family, he could set everything up easily, ensuring absolute privacy.Henry turned to Lydia and said, "I'll be back in five minutes.""Go ahead." Lydia nodded.Henry and Jeffery then headed to a nearby room. Even though Henry had initially planned to use medicine made from a Millennium Snow Lotus, he realized his current power made it unnecessary."Sit down!" he said.Jeffery compiled
"Unless someone muted them," Henry mused to himself.Had Lucifer and his group returned? Were Shane and Albus afraid of Henry losing to the duo, so they deliberately kept him out of the loop?Henry had guessed right.Henry returned to the dining room and was about to call when Lydia immediately said, "Henry, something big has happened online!"Jorge is in Cathysia! I wonder if Lucifer's here too."While waiting for Henry, Lydia had noticed the news.Henry quickly pulled out his phone and scanned the headlines. A cold glint flashed in his eyes—he had not expected them to show up right after he had left Aurelia City. He needed to inform Shane in case unnecessary sacrifices were made.Henry did not have Shane's contact, so he called Albus instead.Meanwhile, Shane had just witnessed Tim getting heavily injured and defeated. His face was dark with anger.Despite his efforts in recent days, he had only managed to restore a fraction of his strength. It was enough, but he was weaker
"Henry, I understand your intentions, but—" Albus tried to persuade him.However, Henry said, "You don't understand, Master. I'm heading to the airport right now. Make sure no one gets killed before I get there."Henry hung up. He immediately arranged for the earliest flight to Aurelia City. Even if the flight left in half an hour, he would buy out someone else's seat at a premium if needed. He had to leave immediately.It was already nighttime, and there was no telling whether Jorge would stop during the night. If he did not, no one knew how many of Aurelia's masters would suffer.As Henry prepared to leave, he glanced at the live stream and saw Jorge's arrogant remarks. His eyes flashed with cold fury.After defeating Tim, Jorge mocked everyone. He laughed wildly, taunting, "I always thought Aurelia's masters were inferior to ours in Islehaven, but I didn't expect them to be such trash."The so-called Cobalt Dragon, the Supreme Mightster of Aurelia, is nothing but a joke!"Com
