"You can feel my presence? It seems your fighting skills are quite good. But it doesn't matter how good you are. You'll be dead today because I'm here."Henry chuckled and asked, "You want to kill me?""Yes. Don't blame me for being cruel; blame yourself for provoking someone you shouldn't have offended." Maximus was following Simon's instructions to obtain all information from Henry first. As a result, he did not kill Henry immediately.Henry shook his head, saying, "You won't be able to kill me with just you.""Henry, you're very arrogant. You think you have real fighting abilities? When you face a truly powerful fighter like me, you'll have no choice but to die."However, if you're willing to exchange some valuable information or things, I may be able to spare your life," Maximus said with a sneer.They had investigated Henry. Even though his experience appeared quite ordinary, there was always something strange around him. In particular, he had connections with many influenti
Even though Maximus was puzzled, he had an order and had to act. He continued to move forward without hesitation, but his attack was more ruthless.When he realized he was about to stab Henry in the neck, he felt proud. 'He still didn't move. He must've frozen in shock.' Maximus must have only been scaring himself.However, Maximus' facial expression shifted dramatically the next second.Henry finally responded. When he reacted, he clenched two fingers around Maximus' throat with incredible speed. Argh!No way! How could he act so quickly? That was too fast.Was he really a Grandmaster?Click!Maximus' eyes widened the next second, and he opened them in disbelief, trying to figure out what was happening. However, he gradually became weak and collapsed on the ground.He had no further reaction until his death.He could not believe it—he died just like that?In his final second, he realized Henry might actually be a Grandmaster.Henry shook his head after killing Maximus.He
As a result, he did not see anyone."I see. That's fine. I won't disturb you any longer.""Alright."Henry hung up the phone and did not take the situation seriously.Simon was a minor character, unworthy of Henry's attention.However, Simon was enraged. Damn it! He suspected that Henry was involved in the situation. He simply did not know what Henry did.He had significantly underestimated Henry.Lydia was always busy because there was so much happening in the company. By the afternoon, she had yet to see Henry in the office.'Is this bastard on strike?'Even though some of her words were harsh, it was because he kept making the same mistakes.It seemed like she needed to talk with Henry to find out what he was thinking.If they were truly incompatible, they should separate.For the time being, given Henry's recent outstanding performance, he would be able to survive, even if he did not become wealthy in the future.Lydia noticed a few new developments on the Internet.I
Lydia returned to her room and removed a box from the safe. She opened the box and took out the jade pendant she kept inside. She immediately remembered memories from her childhood.Even though their time together was brief, her memories of them were vivid. She had always remembered him and waited for his appearance.She had never forgotten him, even after all those years.However, why did she not feel surprised or happy when she discovered Simon was the Little Beggar? She even felt a little uneasy.Perhaps it was due to Henry.Lydia realized that her feelings for Henry had grown after so much time together. His place in her heart was no lower than that of the Little Beggar she had met back then.She might not have known what she initially thought, but recent events have made her realize that she already had Henry in her heart.However, she always felt like she had broken her promise to the Little Beggar.Lydia realized she did not want to be with Simon after discovering he was
So Henry dialed Cheryl's phone number immediately.Cheryl finally answered the phone after a long moment. "Hello.""Cheryl, it's me.""Henry.""Where are you? I'll come to you," Henry said."Henry, why do you want to see me so suddenly?""What do you think? You didn't even tell me you lost the jade pendant. Don't you know I'm very capable and have many ways?" Henry said.Cheryl felt relieved just hearing Henry's voice. She said, "Henry, you have a lot of important things to do. I don't want to trouble you.""Trouble me? If I can't even care for you, what else can I do? I'll hang up now. Send your address to my phone right away," Henry said.Cheryl felt overjoyed as she looked at her cell phone after the call ended and remembered what Henry had just said. Regardless, he remembered her.That significantly improved Cheryl's depressed mood. She texted him her location. She was upset, so she went for a walk at the beach."Who was that?" the short-haired girl beside Cheryl asked c
Henry was taken aback and finally had a moment to glance at Hilary beside him. She was a beauty, but he wondered about her relationship with Cheryl.Cheryl hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, Hilary; Henry will solve it."Henry, this is my college classmate and good friend, Hilary."Hilary, this is Henry.""Henry, huh? Quite a name. But it is better to be humble in life and at work than to boast and act like a big shot constantly," Hilary said sarcastically."Hilary!"Cheryl was displeased and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Henry is a good person. Furthermore, he's competent.""Fine, show me how he'll help you find the jade pendant then." Hilary no longer teased Henry, though she did not plan to let Henry off easily.Even though that woman was pretty, Henry could not be bothered to deal with her. He asked, "Tell me again, Cheryl, how did you lose the jade pendant?""Didn't she say she didn't know?" Hilary said.Henry frowned. He would have kicked her out already if it was not
"Alright, I'll help you," Henry said as his hidden killing intent surfaced. He wondered about the shameless person who dared to steal Cheryl's jade pendant; he would not let them off lightly and would make sure they faced severe consequences."Yeah, thank you, Henry. I'm counting on you," Cheryl said, her expression slightly easing upon Henry's promise. However, there was still a lot of sorrow in her eyes. She was worried about not being able to find the jade pendant, especially after it had been missing for so many days.Henry hesitated when he saw Cheryl's expression. He had initially planned to tell her his identity but did not know where to start. He wondered if Cheryl would blame him if he revealed it to her.He left it at the back of his mind and focused on finding the jade pendant.Henry immediately asked Cheryl when she first noticed the pendant was missing. After clarifying the situation, he called Dustin.Cheryl had been going to work with the jade pendant, which was hid
The next morning, Hilary found Cheryl and insisted on staying with her. She felt Henry was a liar; she needed to protect Cheryl.Cheryl had no choice but to tell her that Henry was not a liar. Furthermore, Henry said he would resolve the issue that day.So, Hilary wanted to stay with Cheryl even more. She did not believe that Henry was that competent.As noon approached, Henry arrived at the address provided by Cheryl. She looked at Henry expectantly, but Henry arrived empty-handed, which disappointed her. Nevertheless, she said, "Henry, it's normal not to find it in such a short time.""No, how is this normal? Didn't someone say they'd resolve this matter for you?" Hilary was not about to let Henry off so easily.Hen ignored Hilary. He said to Cheryl, "I have something important to tell you. Tell her to step aside for a moment.""No, why should I step aside? Why can't I hear about it?" Hilary objected immediately.Without hesitation, Cheryl said, "Sorry, Hilary. Can you leave u
