After confirming that it was indeed the jade pendant she had lost, Cheryl grasped it tightly, afraid it might disappear again, while tears of excitement streamed down her face.Fortunately, they were able to find the pendant.While Hilary was happy, she could not help but mock Henry. "Someone said he'd find it, but he didn't do anything in the end and had to rely on others to find and return it.""It's okay. We found it anyway. Maybe that person wouldn't have returned it on their own if Henry hadn't been looking for it," Cheryl said happily."Don't butter him up," Hilary said."He's married, Cheryl. Don't fall for him," Hilary said helplessly."I know," Cheryl replied dismissively.Cheryl then said to Henry, "We haven't eaten yet. Are you hungry? Let's eat; my treat."Henry nodded. He smiled when he saw her relaxed and happy. He wished he had told her his identity.Henry was worried about the enemies who set the orphanage on fire years ago. They might still come after him. How
Cheryl accepted Henry's offer immediately. She had begun to develop feelings for Henry, especially after those events. Even though they could not be a couple, she enjoyed spending time with him.Hilary immediately said, "Of course not! This is a class reunion, and you're not one of our classmates. Why would you go?""Why can't he? We can bring our boyfriends and husbands, right?" Cheryl replied."Is he your boyfriend or husband?" Hilary asked sarcastically.Cheryl blushed and could not speak. Henry said, "I can pretend to be her boyfriend.""Hmm, pretend?" I believe you're up to no good with Cheryl," Hilary said."Hilary!" Cheryl said."He's not like that. If he wanted to hurt me, he would've done it a long time ago."Cheryl realized her words sounded weird, and her face turned redder.Hilary looked stunned as if Cheryl had gone insane because she had fallen so hard for a married man. However, she believed that Cheryl was pure, so she vented her rage on Henry, glaring at him f
"No, she doesn't need it." Henry shook his head.Hilary immediately said, "Hey, what are you planning? Are you trying to divorce and then pursue Cheryl?""Stop it, Hilary!" Cheryl shouted in anger."Fine, I won't say anything." Hilary was also frightened by Cheryl's reaction and felt even more resentful toward Henry. She planned to make Henry look bad that night. She wanted him to know that he was not worthy of Cheryl.However, Henry seemed unfazed and said, "It's okay, Cheryl! Where's your party? It's almost 6:00 p.m. now. Do we still have time?""It's at 7:30 p.m at the Sea Gazing Restaurant." Cheryl glanced at Hilary, who confirmed with a nod."Alright, let's go then," Henry said.Henry seemed unaffected, but Lydia was furious. She would have slapped him twice if Henry was in front of her.'Since when has Henry been so arrogant and dismissive toward me?'Who do you think you are?'You're just a bumpkin from the mountains who knows some martial arts.'Why do you get to tre
The Sea Gazing Restaurant was brightly lit. Many luxury cars were parked at the entrance, indicating that this restaurant was special; only the wealthy or influential could host events there.At that moment, there was a group of about 20 men and women, many of whom looked around curiously, clearly astounded by everything.The group was led by a handsome and charming man dressed in luxurious attire. His name was Graham Padilla, the party's sponsor. A stunning woman stood beside him.The woman wore a long black dress and had a graceful figure that exuded a distinct charm even with her light makeup.Behind them, Javier, their class monitor, exclaimed loudly, "This is one of the four famous restaurants in Hodbridge, Sea Gazing Restaurant.""This isn't an ordinary location. A casual meal here costs more than a few thousand dollars, which I doubt any of you have ever encountered. Today, we're fortunate to have Graham's hospitality. Otherwise, we may never have had the opportunity.""Ye
Just then, the manager noticed Henry, whom everyone behind him was afraid of.The manager shivered slightly, especially as Henry blended in with the crowd.Henry and the two ladies arrived late, and Hilary noticed everyone gathered as if no more private rooms were available.She could not help but lean forward to investigate. Cheryl followed suit, and then Henry showed up.Hilary asked, "What's going on?""Someone took our private room, and there's none left now. They told us we had to sit in the main dining hall," a classmate said.Graham found himself in a difficult situation. He could not afford to be embarrassed, especially given his desire to demonstrate his power and influence that day. Otherwise, he would not have publicly forced Christina to be his girlfriend.He wanted to exact revenge and flaunt his power, enjoying everyone's compliments. He never imagined he would be embarrassed before even starting."Please get us a private room. The Padillas are involved in several
"Who is this, Cheryl?"Graham had always wanted to stay in touch with Cheryl but could not find her. She unexpectedly showed up that day, but Graham quickly noticed Henry.Cheryl was taken aback and considered how to introduce Henry."I'm Henry, Cheryl's boyfriend," Henry said calmly.Graham's expression changed immediately upon hearing Henry's words. Even though they had not seen each other in a long time, he still had feelings for Cheryl. That party was supposed to be about showcasing his accomplishments, but he unexpectedly ran into Cheryl.However, he did not immediately become hostile, instead chuckling and saying, "That's not true, right? Why would you fall for someone like him?"Henry shook his head in response to Graham's juvenile remarks.Cheryl was initially pleased and shy when she heard Henry's introduction. However, when she heard Graham's words, she immediately said, "Graham, remember your words. Henry isn't an ordinary man. I'm not even worthy of him.""Cheryl, y
Graham seemed unconcerned about how much he was debasing himself or even scaring others away. He said, "Christina, tell everyone—are you my slave?"Christina appeared embarrassed, tears of humiliation shimmering in her eyes, but she replied, "Yes, I'm Graham's slave!""Ms. Ross! You don't have to do this!"Cheryl became anxious and asked, "Are you in trouble? Tell me. We can help you."She might not have a solution, but Henry, who was capable of anything, would be able to help Christina. After all, she realized Henry was extremely powerful after all the incidents they had experienced.Christina hesitated; she did not say anything. She was over 100,000 dollars in debt. Cheryl was a poor student, and her boyfriend did not look impressive. They would not be able to help her."Hey, you want to help her? Has your family suddenly struck gold?" Graham asked indifferently."None of your business!" Cheryl responded."It's about money, right? How much?" she asked."Forget it, Cheryl. Wh
No one believed in Henry except for Cheryl. She knew that Henry must have a reason for what he was doing.As they all looked at him mockingly, Henry remained calm and said, "Very well, your boyfriend must be proud to have a girlfriend like you.""Of course, unlike Cheryl, who found someone like you, who's nothing but a fake and trashy jerk."Everyone only knew Graham was rich, and he sponsored the party. He had always been the center of attention. Laurie finally managed to draw everyone's attention to herself; she felt extremely smug.She did not believe Henry could do anything. Pretending to call the CEO was an absurd joke.Henry's call was promptly answered."Mr. Truman!"Dustin was attending a meeting. When he saw the number, he immediately stopped the meeting and took the call. Everyone was surprised. Even though it had only been a short time, Dustin's efficiency had already earned everyone's respect. They had never seen the CEO show such respect for anyone, let alone over t
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
