"You probably don't know this, Lydia, but I've been head over heels for you since I first saw you. At one point, I was furious with myself because I had been determined to track Little Sweetie down and make her my wife, but I fell for you instead!" Simon said earnestly.The Millers were all astounded by his sudden admission of love. As pleased as they were that Simon loved Lydia so much that he was willing to go against his promise to his childhood love, they could not help but wonder who Little Sweetie was.Lydia, on the other hand, was wondering about something else entirely. She stared at Simon, trying to reminisce her memories, but for some reason, she could not match her memories of the little boy she had fallen in love with to the man standing before her.Simon was entirely different from the boy she remembered. Nothing about him reminded her of that boy, whether it was looks or personality, but for some reason, she found a sense of familiarity with Henry."Grandpa Miller, yo
"What are you doing here, Henry? It's a joyous occasion for the Millers, and you're not invited! Get out of here right this instant! If you foil our plans, I'll make you pay for this!" Jennifer shrieked. What had happened? She had sent people on Henry's trail with the instruction to cripple him, so what was he still doing here, utterly unscathed?Unbeknownst to her, the assassins had not managed to find Henry because he had not even gone home the night before."Joyous occasion? If I recall correctly, Lydia is legally still my wife, so why can't I show up here when my wife is being wedded off to another man?" Henry snapped."Nonsense! Your marriage with Lydia ended a long time ago! You would've divorced by now if it weren't for the fact that we took pity on you!" Jennifer retorted. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Lydia yourself. She's been wanting to divorce you for a long time."Henry did not reply and instead gazed at Lydia. Although he was curious to know what Lydia's tho
The color drained from Sarah's face. Why would Henry even say something like that? How could he possibly have known?The Millers did not seem to register what Henry had said, but Lydia paused. Little Beggar? How did Henry know about Little Beggar?Could it be a coincidence? Could he be referring to another Little Beggar?That was impossible; he had spoken directly to Simon when he said that, which meant he was calling Simon out for pretending to be Little Beggar.Despite his initial shock, Simon soon regained his composure and said, "What on earth are you talking about, Henry? None of this has anything to do with you, so please leave.""Get out of here right this instant, Henry! You're not welcome here!" Jennifer shouted."Wait!" Lydia stepped forward. "Henry, what did you mean by that?""What else could he possibly have meant? He's just trying to mess with you, Lydia. Don't give him the satisfaction. He doesn't deserve you," Sarah said."Why are you all so desperate to get me
"No, that's not true, Lydia. Don't believe him. None of this is true. He made all this up because he can't bear to see you marry another man. Please don't believe him, Lydia," Sarah cried out desperately."Is that so?" Lydia scoffed, then turned to Simon and coldly asked, "Mr. Walker, can you tell me if this is true?"Simon knew lying was no longer an option because it was very easy to tell if a recording was real, and he did not want to get to that point. He had no choice but to reveal the truth. "Yes, this is all true.""What? Mr. Walker, you—" Sarah was horrified."There's no point hiding the truth anymore. Sarah has indeed helped me. She came up with this plan, and I participated in it. But that's because she cares about you. She did all this because she didn't want you to spend the rest of your life with a lying cheat."Sarah was relieved to hear that and could not help but commend Simon's quick wit. For a split second, she thought Simon would throw her under the bus, and if
Sarah and Simon's voices rang out from the speaker, accompanied by video footage."Sarah, how's it going with Lydia?""I'm not in the mood to talk. I still need to think of what to say to Lydia so she'll buy my story."That was followed by Sarah's mumbles to herself, "Lydia, who would've thought you'd one day fall victim to my games? Little Beggar, huh? I can't believe how stupid you are. How can you possibly think Simon could be Little Beggar? I've never seen something more idiotic in my life."The color drained from Lydia's face, and she snatched the phone out of Henry's hand to take a closer look. It was a video, so she could see that the person speaking was Sarah and not someone else. It was unmistakable.Sarah fell to her knees. She had been caught and could not lie out of that.Unacceptable!Lydia's entire body shook from sheer rage. She never imagined that her best friend would use her deepest, darkest secret against her. Sarah was the only person she had ever told about
Indeed, Lydia was furious beyond words, especially because Sarah had used her secret, her most treasured childhood memory, against her. At the same time, she was convinced that Sarah had done so for her own benefit.She could not allow Sarah to remain by her side, so she said coldly, "Sarah, I won't seek revenge for what you did to me, but from today onward, you and I are no longer friends. Please get out of here."The color drained from Sarah's face. Initially, all she wanted was to get away without being harmed, but to her pleasant surprise, Lydia had bought into everybody's word.She was convinced that Sarah had been looking out for her all along but had used the wrong way to demonstrate her love. "Lydia, I know you're mad at me, and you hate me now. "I'll leave as you ask, but you'll always hold a special place in my heart. Even after I leave, I hope you can see some people for their true colors."Sarah stood up to leave, confident that she had ended on the right note. With t
Sarah's knees gave out beneath her, and she collapsed to the ground in a crumpled heap. She never imagined Henry would have recorded that conversation as well.Unbeknownst to her, Henry had not recorded that conversation on purpose. It had been a simple accident, but he never bothered to delete the recording.When Henry discovered Sarah's true colors the day before, he was reminded of that and decided to keep it on hold in case he needed it. Even then, he had no intention of playing it because he wanted to preserve Sarah's dignity, but she left him no choice.Sarah was so ashamed that she longed for the ground to open up and swallow her whole.With everyone's eyes on her, she could not handle the scrutiny any longer and immediately turned and scampered out of the room.It took Lydia a few moments to snap out of her stupor. Everything made sense then!Even though she did not know why Sarah had fallen for Henry, the fact that her initial hatred toward Henry had morphed into love me
The color drained from John's face. "Mr. Walker, let's not be hasty. Lydia's just angry. We can discuss this marriage further once she's cooled down.""Very well, then. I'll give you one day to think this over, and if I'm not satisfied with your answer, I'll bring the entire Miller family down!" Simon declared menacingly.Everyone was horrified to hear that, Lydia included. As furious as she was, she was well aware of Simon's background and knew that he was more than capable of wiping out the entire Miller family if he wanted to.John was the most frightened of them all. He had single-handedly built that empire from scratch and could not bear the idea of seeing decades of his labor go to dust. Besides, what would happen to the Millers once Simon let harm befall them?Henry was the only one unbothered by that. He sneered and said, "Who do you think you are, Simon? You think you can bring an entire family down with one snap of your fingers? In your dreams!"Simon's expression darken
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
