Henry shook his head and sighed. "Do you hear that, Sarah? See how Lydia treats you. Is it worth betraying her like this?"Sarah's belief that Henry lacked evidence grew stronger as she listened to him. If Henry had it, she believed he would have revealed it by then.No one would be so kind as to let her off the hook. Henry must have run out of ideas and was playing with her emotions.Sarah looked pitiful and said, "I know I've done many wrong things in the past and offended you. But you can't accuse me like this."She feared Henry's power, but after spending time with him, she realized he was not cruel. Henry would not harm her, especially since Lydia was protecting her.Lydia felt uncomfortable, as if she was causing her best friend to suffer.However, Henry remained calm and said, "Alright, it appears you will not admit it until you're in deep water. Play the recording, Joe."Since Henry did not arrange for Joe to be there, it was highly possible that Joe did have a recording
Sarah's voice rose. "Don't you realize what kind of person Henry is? Do you see a future with him?""I didn't say I want to be with him," Lydia retorted."But you've already begun to like him. I will never let my best friend, the person I care about the most, fall for someone like him—a powerless nobody. Even if it means I have to make a huge mistake."I understand this might not be right. But if the opportunity presents itself again, I'll do the same because he's unworthy of you! You two don't belong to the same world. Being with him will only cause you pain and despair in your parents and lead the Millers to a hopeless future."Sarah's voice grew louder and more passionate with each word, and she began to believe that she was doing it for Lydia's benefit.Lydia's face paled. She could not deny that Sarah's words resonated with her. She noticed Henry had left a mark on her heart at some point. Lydia's every mention of them not being from the same world was an attempt to convince
Henry felt helpless; he assumed dealing with a young girl would be simple.It began smoothly and revealed the truth quickly. However, he never expected Sarah to turn the tide. Despite her disagreement with Lydia, she walked away unscathed.Lydia slumped onto the sofa, lost in thought, as Sarah left.Henry dismissed Alex and the others once everything was in order. He could not be bothered to pursue the issue with Joe further.Alex left, and he followed Sarah for a while. When she called a cab at the door, he dashed over. Sarah was nervous when she saw him. She asked, "What do you want?""Mr. Truman promised not to touch you, but I didn't." Alex gave a menacing look and sneered."How dare you! I will call Lydia now," Sarah said, pulling out her phone.However, before she could do anything, Alex grabbed her phone and slapped her, angrily cursing, "You little scum! How dare you trick me? I'm going to kill you!"Sarah whimpered in pain, her face filled with fear. She stepped back,
"Alright." Henry nodded."I've misunderstood you again. Do you think I'm foolish and easily deceived?" Lydia asked."No, of course not. You're just overly concerned and have complete trust in Sarah."You'd surely spot the flaw immediately if it were anyone else." Henry found it difficult to believe himself."Really? You don't think I am stupid? Sometimes, I feel like I'm stupid!" Lydia said, frustrated."Why would you? You're the most intelligent woman in the world. Otherwise, how would you secure the position of CEO?" Henry showered her with compliments, almost forcing himself to shake his head."Secure the CEO position? I wish I could do that!"If it weren't for joining the Everising Chamber of Commerce and securing the cooperation with Fyman, someone would've removed me long ago." Lydia smiled bitterly."Oh?" Henry frowned."Isn't your family the largest shareholder in the Miller Group? Who dares to oppose you?""Yes, our family holds 70 percent of the shares, but 30 perce
"You?" Lydia shook her head."Forget about it. Even though our company is not one of those mega-corporations, we still need relevant certifications and experience.""Didn't you say you want me to join the company?""I was thinking about hiring you as a security guard at the company, which doesn't require much of a certification. But you can't handle anything in that position, right?"Henry sighed helplessly. "Am I only fit to be a security guard?""It's not just that!""What else then?""A janitor.""I would rather be a security guard." Henry was speechless. Although he had not attended college, he had numerous certificates."Do you really want to work at my company?" Lydia asked."Yeah!""As a security guard?""I will do whatever you ask. Anyway, these things don't really matter. My main goal is to help you stabilize, no, control the company."Henry shrugged."You're good at making empty promises. Okay, let me think about it and see what I can arrange for you."Lydia wa
When Lydia hung up the phone, Henry sighed helplessly."Cousin?""How else to explain it? We're getting a divorce soon. It's not good for either of us to have our relationship exposed right now," Lydia responded.Henry said, "I don't mind.""I do. Go back and rest well. Prepare for work tomorrow," Lydia said."Alright!"Henry stood up helplessly and left. As he approached the door, he ran into Jennifer and William, who had just returned. They looked at each other in shock.Jennifer was furious when she snapped back to her senses. "Henry, you bastard jinx! What did you do to my son, and how dare you come to our house?"Henry shrugged helplessly and slipped away from the side, finding it nearly impossible to communicate with someone like Jennifer.Jennifer was furious. She wanted to step forward and grab Henry, but she failed to do that.Jennifer lashed out at Lydia for failing to hold Henry.Lydia was incredibly frustrated, but she had no choice. In the end, all she could do
Even though the Miller Group was not particularly large, it was still in the top tier, with assets exceeding 150 million. It made investments in various industries, particularly real estate-related sectors such as steel sales.However, Lydia was now on the path of transformation. After all, the real estate industry was in decline, so she had been steering the company in new directions. Lydia personally promoted the collaboration with the Joneses in the cosmetics industry as one of the most important aspects.The next morning, Henry kept his promise and arrived at work early. He even wore a proper shirt and trousers for Lydia's sake, making him appear quite attractive. Due to the previous phone call, Henry arrived at the director's office door and knocked."Come in!"A pleasant female voice emanated from the room. Henry pushed the door open and was greeted by a stunning woman. Although not as beautiful as Lydia, she came close. Furthermore, she exuded a sensual charm that could easi
The sales department had two teams, and they were the second one. They had been trailing the first team for several months. The most important point was that they were already inferior to the first team. The top salesperson had recently left Cecilia's team, while a newcomer with no track record joined through his connections. She was helpless in the situation.The semi-annual review was only ten days away, and they were expected to receive harsh criticism."You seem unwelcoming to me, Ms. Leon," Henry said, attempting to calm the tense atmosphere as Cecilia expressed displeasure."How should I welcome you?" Cecilia responded coldly."Roll out the red carpet or kneel to greet you?" she asked sarcastically."You're good at joking, aren't you?" Henry responded with a bitter smile. He thought the girl was attractive, but she spoke harshly."You're Henry, right? Don't think about slacking off while on my team, regardless of your background. If you don't perform well, I will still ask
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
