"No, he didn't!" Lydia immediately retorted."Henry made no complaint to me at all. Even when I called and reprimanded him for being absent from work, he said nothing.""How do you know about this then?" John asked."Don't worry about that. It wasn't Henry who told me. Did you guys threaten him to leave me? How did he respond?" Lydia asked."Hmph. What else could he say? He only wants money. We offered him 1.5 million dollars, and it's still insufficient for him," Jennifer said angrily."So, he didn't agree?" Lydia sighed in relief.She feared Henry would agree to their request."No, he didn't. But it isn't because he likes you; it's because you're the Miller Group's CEO and a major shareholder."In comparison, Young Master Walker is far simpler. He's wealthy, and our wealth means nothing to him," Jennifer said.John said, "You must think thoroughly about this.""Grandpa, you insisted I marry Henry in the first place. I didn't want to, but I accepted it. Now that I have feeli
After hearing Sarah's idea, they quickly discussed what to do next.Simon could not stop complimenting Sarah after hearing her idea. It was true that women would understand women better, especially since Sarah was Lydia's close friend.He had the best chance of winning Lydia over.Just as he thought that, Simon's phone rang. It was Lydia. He wondered if Lydia called to demand answers, as Sarah had mentioned. Lydia would only contact him if it were absolutely necessary."Hello!""Hello, Young Master Walker. Did you visit my family yesterday to propose a marriage and set a three-day deadline?" Lydia got straight to the point.Simon was taken aback. Lydia, as Sarah predicted, approached him to ask about the matter. He could not help but give Sarah a thumbs up, inwardly praising her for knowing Lydia so well.Simon remembered the strategy they had just discussed and casually replied, "Yes, that's right.""What do you mean? How could you threaten my family like that? Do you really t
Simon did not wait for an answer. He said, "If yes, he's a typical guy born in poverty, with deep-seated insecurities, sensitivities, arrogance, and self-importance."It's precisely because of these insecurities that he seeks attention and satisfaction through boasting. At the same time, he's extremely arrogant and self-assured when confronted with certain situations."Such a person exhibits obvious personality flaws. Given enough time, he'll undoubtedly make a move on you and the Millers.""Enough! I don't need you interfering in my affairs with Henry. Please cancel your proposal. I will never agree. Not even if you gave me three months," Lydia said coldly.Simon seemed sad and said, "I didn't expect you to forget our initial agreement and be so cruel to me after so many years."But I refuse to give up on you. I'll marry you without hesitation if you divorce Henry within three days."Then, Simon hung up and smashed the phone against the ground, cursing, "Who do you think you are
Lydia decided to handle the situation herself. She would never agree to Simon's proposal. However, John refused to let her leave, even confining her at home.She could not stay confined like that.Lydia called Sarah. Perhaps Sarah could help her escape the mansion. Sarah was the person she trusted the most, aside from Henry.Sarah arrived quickly, pretending to persuade Lydia. Upon hearing that Lydia wanted to escape because of Simon's proposal, she pretended to brainstorm ideas. However, she could not come up with a good plan.That brought them back to chatting.Sarah had become more intelligent and did not criticize Henry. Instead, she praised the Walkers and Simon, drawing some parallels. Lydia became suspicious when she realized Sarah was supporting her marriage to Simon.When Sarah heard Lydia refuse Simon, she said, "Maybe there's another way. I'll find someone capable of rescuing you."Lydia's doubts vanished when she saw Sarah's willingness to help her.Sarah left. Of c
Everyone could not help but wonder if Lora had purposefully made herself appear unattractive before.They seemed to have guessed correctly.Lora was well aware that, as a salesperson, she would meet various people. Her beauty would undoubtedly work to her advantage, but for someone like herself who did not want to play by the hidden rules, it could also lead to severe problems.So, she had never made an effort to dress up, and in some cases, she had purposefully made herself look ugly.However, she wanted to present her most perfect self in front of Henry.After they had been driving for about ten minutes, Lora's phone rang. It was her mother, Doris Stein."Are you off work yet, Lora? We're here waiting for you.""I'm on my way. I'll be there in half an hour," Lora said as she estimated their arrival time."Okay, hurry up."Doris hung up. Then, she said, "Please wait a moment, Young Master York. My daughter will be here in a half hour. And don't worry, she's much more attracti
Doris rushed forward, shouting, "What took you so long to get here?""I rushed here as fast as I could."Mom, this is my boyfriend, Henry," Lora said excitedly.'What? Boyfriend?' Doris was stunned that Lora had brought her boyfriend along.She had asked Lora to go on a blind date, but Lora had said she already had a boyfriend.Doris had told her to bring her boyfriend along, but she did not expect Lora to bring her boyfriend with her that night.Doris regained her composure and refused to turn to look at Henry. Annoyed, she said, "What are you doing? When did you get a boyfriend?""We just confirmed our relationship in the past few days, and I was planning to tell you," Lora explained."No way!" Doris immediately objected."I disagree. You should break up now."She did not even turn to look at Henry during the entire conversation.She had no regard for Henry's personality.No one could ever compete with Phillip, the wealthy Young Master York.Lora was slightly stunned. Sh
Unexpectedly, Phillip said, "Since they're here, let them come in."They were not far away, and Phillip had noticed them early on. He had guessed what had happened, so his face soured.However, he kept it to himself and thought, 'It's fine if that man never touched Lora; otherwise, I'd make him suffer.'Doris could only suppress her thoughts, and she glared at Henry, "You better watch your mouth, kid, or don't blame me for being rude."Henry shrugged helplessly, following along.Doris quickly introduced Lora to Phillip, emphasizing how talented her daughter was.As for Henry, she only stated that he was Lora's colleague and that they met by chance.However, Lora immediately said, "Henry isn't just my colleague, Dad. He's my boyfriend."Doris was infuriated. She had not even had time to stop Lora."Lora, don't talk nonsense. When did you get a boyfriend?" Doris said angrily."I have one now." Lora refused to give up.Doris was furious.Nigel smiled bitterly and nodded to Hen
"Ah, exclusive cigarettes smoked by those big shots in Aurelia?" Doris was stunned. She trembled as she handed Phillip the cigarettes."That's right. Treasurer Luxury cigarettes are exclusive and never sold to the general public. Even if you had money, you might not be able to purchase them. So, these are unquestionably fake."Phillip had not looked closely because he had not smoked them himself."Fake?"When she heard that, Doris became enraged, saying, "How shameless! It's our first meeting, and you're giving us fake cigarettes?"Are you attempting to fool us? If Young Master York hadn't been here today, you might've fooled us."Are you going to claim to be a young master from Aurelia?Your last name is Truman, right? Should you call yourself Young Master Truman, then?" Doris exploded.However, she had no idea her casual remark had hit the mark.Phillip shook his head. If that were true, he should immediately kneel. No, even if the York family leaders were present, they would
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
