Sarah, who was on the sidelines, said, "Lydia had reached her limit, Young Master Jones. Why don't we finish these three glasses, and we'll talk about cooperation afterward?"Lydia heard that and realized she could not hold out much longer after three glasses. She was unable to refute Sarah's suggestion, though. After some thought, she decided she could get by with just three glasses.Fyman noticed Sarah's signal and said, "Alright, three glasses it is."He did not explicitly agree but instead started a discussion.Lydia nodded, and Fyman agreed. Sarah filled a glass for her, and she picked it up, ready to drink it all in one go. Then, someone pushed the door open, capturing everyone's attention right away."Don't force yourself, Lydia. Three glasses, right? I'll drink for you!"Henry had hurried over. That restaurant belonged to the Seltzers, and he had run into Dustin. It was simple to determine which private room Lydia was in.Sarah's expression soured when she saw Henry. She
"You!"Fyman was furious at Henry's unexpected provocation. Lydia was concerned about the cooperation and about triggering the Joneses.She immediately said, "Don't speak recklessly, Henry! Why would Young Master Jones deceive us?"She then apologized to Fyman, saying, "It was a misunderstanding, Young Master Jones. Please don't be angry. I believe you're genuinely interested in working with us."Henry secretly praised Lydia; her words appeared to please Fyman.She was not as clueless as she appeared; at the very least, she knew how to flatter someone.Fyman, on the other hand, took pride in the compliment and huffed. "Of course, I'm sincere, and it was a misunderstanding on your part."Let's do it this way. If he can drink three bottles of liquor without incident, I'll invest 15 million dollars in your company."Three bottles? That was unreasonable, and Lydia was about to object. However, before she could say anything, Henry asked, "Is that a promise, Young Master Jones? Can I
Sarah was depressed, but she had to maintain a positive attitude.Henry smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Jones. I got food, drinks, and a beautiful wife. I'm not going to regret this."Fyman's face dropped dramatically. However, when he left, he did not rush to do anything, instead sending his lackeys to spy on Henry. That was his way; he had to know everything about someone before making a move. Once he did that, there was no going back.Lydia was not pleased, even though they had signed a contract and would receive 15 million the next day."Henry, thank you for today, but are you okay after drinking so much?""No problem, a few bottles are nothing." Henry had used his internal abilities to deal with it; otherwise, he would not be as strong."It's good that you're fine, but now that you've ticked off Young Master Jones, who knows when he'll come after you?" Lydia was worried."Don't worry! He's just one of my many enemies." Henry chuckled."Be serious. Young Master
Lydia immediately became enraged and asked, "What do they want?" We didn't force them to invest. Why should we pay them?""That's what I said, too. But Wayne had brought a large group of people and insisted on taking back their money, even dividing the family," Jennifer said."What did Grandpa say?" Lydia asked."Your grandfather's got an old friend in the Azurecrest who's really sick, and he flew there this afternoon.""They're doing this on purpose because Grandpa is not present. Okay, I'm heading back."These folks have no shame." Lydia abruptly hung up.She rarely cursed her family members, even when she was angry with them."You okay?" Henry asked."I'm fine, just gotta go back to the Miller Mansion now," Lydia said."I will come with you.""Yeah." Lydia was not in a good mood, so she did not refuse Henry's company.They arranged for a driver because they had both consumed alcohol. While they were in the car, Henry tried to reassure Lydia. "You don't have to be too conc
"Exactly, Henry! Get out of here. You're not welcome here.""The Millers wouldn't be in such a mess if it wasn't because of you." William lost his cool.Henry frowned and said, "The Millers are in this mess because you ignored my advice and insisted on giving money to Lewis. How is that my fault?""It's because of you; don't try to argue!" Jennifer snapped."Why was it? Tell me," Henry asked calmly."Because—because you're annoying, made us trust Lewis even more." Jennifer struggled to come up with an explanation."That's your reason?" Henry sneered.While others disliked Henry, they could not ignore how lame the reason was.Jennifer exploded. "Whatever the reason, we don't welcome you!""Am I not welcome? It appears that you're unwilling to address the issue of everyone being scammed," Henry spoke casually."Bullshit! Do you really think you can solve this?" Jennifer replied angrily.Wayne and others were also drawn in. They gathered there, hoping to recover their hard-earn
"Stop lying, Jennifer. Do you accept responsibility for this?" Wayne asked her directly.Regardless of the circumstances, Wayne and the others had to fight for a result. Otherwise, they would be in trouble if John returned. He had decided not to care about John's words over the phone just now.John had just called, but they did not answer.Jennifer was startled by Wayne and took a few steps backward.Lydia immediately intervened, saying, "We should follow the rules in our actions, Wayne. Perhaps we share some responsibility for this situation, but not entirely.""You should understand, Lydia, that saving money is not easy for us. How can we bear it now that everything has been swindled away all at once?"We don't own most of the company's shares like you or have plenty of money." Wayne tried to be nice to Lydia."I understand, but the company is currently in dire straits. Please go home, and I'll compensate all of you partially when the company's situation improves in the future
It would have been much easier if Jennifer had remained silent.Henry frowned. He could not reveal that he had arranged for Dustin to buy the Brandon Group. They would be even less likely to believe him."You have nothing to say now, huh?""The lies are exposed, huh?""If you don't give us the money, I'll kill you today, Jennifer!" Someone even called out her name, demonstrating how desperate they were.Jennifer was furious. She had suffered enormous losses, and her personal savings had been wiped out.She was about to respond when she was taken aback by how agitated everyone was. Previously, everyone was polite because her daughter was the company's CEO. However, it looked like they had all gone crazy that day.Wayne raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, before turning to Lydia and saying, "Give me an explanation, Lydia."Lydia hesitated.Then, Henry said, "If they insist on a refund, maybe you can cover it for everyone, Lydia.""Henry, what are you talking about?
Henry recognized Lydia's rage and smiled. "Don't worry. I will not put you in a difficult position."In fact, I'm telling you the truth about the acquisition!"Mr. Carter disclosed this information to me. If you don't believe me, then at least believe Mr. Carter." Henry did not want to hide anything from Lydia."When did Mr. Carter say that?"Lydia was shocked. It might be true if it came from Bowen.Why, though?"I went to give Ethan an examination today, and he informed me. The reason is quite simple—the Brandon Group will avoid bankruptcy and soar.""What? How is that possible?" The news shook her even more."I was surprised, too, but Mr. Carter said so. But I'm not sure about the details." Henry wanted to tell Lydia about the city's new development plan. However, that was considered the most confidential information within the province. If leaked, it could have far-reaching negative consequences."It might be true if it's from Mr. Carter."After all, Bowen had previously
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
