It was extremely frightening, especially given the numerous cases of entire families being destroyed due to a son-in-law's anger.Lydia's expression changed abruptly, and she asked anxiously, "Officer, there must be a mistake. Henry wouldn't do such a thing.""We'll find out after the investigation," the female officer said coldly."Cuff him!" The police officer ordered her subordinates.Henry did not resist but frowned."Officer, I don't know where you got your information from, but you've definitely got the wrong person," said Henry.The female officer's expression was indifferent. She was aware that every suspect would deny their guilt when arrested. She replied, "I'll find out later. But you must come with me now.""I need to understand why I've become a suspect. Who did I kill?""You'll find out at the police station. Take him away!" The policewoman directed her team without further ado.It was everyone's responsibility in Cathysia to cooperate with the police during inve
While in the police car, Lora became extremely nervous. She whispered to Henry, "Did I say the wrong thing and make things worse?""What do you think?" Henry rolled his eyes."I'm sorry. I only wanted to help you.""It's okay. It's not a big deal.""Really? Do you know any high-level authorities?"Henry remained speechless."What you said is not a big deal for a murder suspect," the policewoman sitting next to them said coldly."What?" Lora was startled."Don't believe her nonsense; I didn't do anything," Henry said."I hope so, but now that it's in my hands, you shouldn't count on luck. If you commit a crime, knowing any authorities will not help you," the policewoman said sternly."I didn't commit any crime," Henry said calmly."Then how did Josh Todd die?""Josh Todd? I don't even know him!"The officer shook her head and declined to ask any further questions.People surrounded the police car as they arrived at the police station. Those people shouted, "Team Drayson!"
"He's dead? He deserved it," Henry said."What did you say?" Jess was infuriated."Nothing. What I'm trying to say is that there's no evidence that I killed him. Just because I had a disagreement with him doesn't make me a murderer, right?" Henry replied."Do you think you are flawless? There was evidence left behind before Josh died." Jess snorted."But I'm giving you a chance to confess," she said."No need; just show me the evidence," Henry said."Fine, take a look at this," Jess said, showing a video clip that Josh had recorded last night.He claimed he was intimidated by the person who beat him up and threatened to kill him, and he was extremely nervous. Then, a photo with the word H written next to him before he died.Henry shook his head, speechless, and asked, "Do you really believe these? Don't you think it's all fabricated?""Are you saying that someone tried to frame you and even killed someone because of that?" Jess said."It's possible." Henry considered several
Jess did not want to let Henry go, but she could not ignore Sergeant James' orders.Even though her father was Sergeant James' superior, she avoided using her family connections. Her colleagues were unaware that she was the daughter of Paul Drayson, the provincial department's Secretary of Discipline.After hanging up the phone, Jess told someone to unlock Henry's handcuffs and said coldly, "Henry, you're quite capable. Are you pleased now?""Not really; I didn't do anything. I hope your team conducts a thorough investigation to find the real culprit.""Don't worry, I will. But I'm worried it will implicate you again. By then, no one will be able to help you.""That won't happen!" Henry smiled slightly.He stood up and said, "I'm leaving now, Ms. Drayson. See you when I see you.""We'll definitely meet again," Jess said coldly.She reasoned that Henry should avoid crossing her path, or he would regret it.She would not back down if there were evidence, even with Sergeant James
"Suit yourself." Lydia hung up the phone cheerfully.She finally understood the meaning of love, and she realized how much she liked Henry.Even though he was worthless and possessed no power or influence, marrying him would undoubtedly result in gossip. However, she felt like none of that mattered as long as she liked him.However, dealing with William, Jennifer, and John—who was currently away from home—would be difficult.'Oh! Why is everything so difficult?' Lydia sighed inwardly.She made a decision right then. She would nurture Henry to become a pillar of the company. By then, she would face less resistance.Lydia suddenly remembered a movie called The Mighty Husband. She felt she was just like that character in the film, who hoped for her husband to rise to greatness.She hoped Henry would assert himself more and stop being so carefree and arrogant.Lora returned to the company and sat at her desk with a worried expression on her face. Many people approached Lora to inqu
Lora was stunned when she heard Henry's voice; her entire body trembled slightly.'What's going on? Is that Mr. Truman? Am I having hallucinations because I'm worried?' Lora thought.She turned around and saw Henry. Then, she smiled. She wondered if Henry was okay since he had returned so quickly.Henry walked forward, looked at Carol, and calmly asked, "Why the silence?"Carol's face paled. She eventually came to her senses and quickly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Truman. I was just talking nonsense."Henry smiled with a hint of coldness in his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'll believe that?""I— I—""Look at you, so cowardly!" Henry shook his head with disdain in his eyes before turning and walking away."Remember, don't act like it if you're not tough. Otherwise, you'll be miserable one day."Carol's face darkened, and she grew resentful as she watched Henry leave.She immediately went to Marco to air her grievances.After listening, Marco smiled and said, "D
"Also, focus more on the company's business and don't delegate everything to Herman. You've made contributions and achievements now. I'll promote you to a higher position if the opportunity arises." Lydia made it clear to Henry that she was also motivating him to work toward his future goals.When Henry heard that, he quickly shook his head and said, "There's no need for all that trouble. This is enough.""What do you mean? Don't you have any ambition?" Lydia retorted."It's really not necessary.""Is it not necessary? Do you think you're impressive simply because you've recovered so much outstanding debt? Do you think you can marry anyone like this?" Lydia almost questioned Henry's worthiness to marry her.When Henry finally understood, he asked, "Are you saying that you'd only consider becoming my wife if I worked hard to get promoted?""Hmph, I didn't say that.""Forget it then. I don't want to waste my efforts.""You—"Lydia was furious, but to help Henry, she said, "You'r
"Cheryl…"Henry paid Cheryl a visit after leaving the office.Even though they had not seen each other in a while, Cheryl was still wearing her usual simple long skirt, which perfectly highlighted her slim figure.Her delicate face was stunning, and her skin was incredibly fair.Any man who saw her would fall for her."Henry, you're here."Cheryl was overjoyed to see Henry, too. In fact, she wanted to take the initiative to look for him several times, but she was afraid of upsetting Henry's family."Well, I don't miss you though.""I don't believe you." Cheryl's face flushed, and she felt pleased.After both sat down, Henry asked about Cheryl's situation.He learned that Cheryl had resigned from her previous position and was looking for a new one. She was no longer worried about money, so all she wanted to do was find a job that was a good fit for her.She even visited the Miller Group for an interview."You went to the Miller Group for an interview?""Yes, but it was a pi
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
