"What?!" John was shocked.He shouted angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you going to leave us behind?""I won't, but it doesn't necessarily mean I have to marry Simon," Lydia replied."Do you have another way then?""Yes.""What's that?""You'll find out later." Lydia suddenly thought of a way to increase Henry's prestige."What do you mean? We're running out of time," John said angrily."Yeah, Lydia, do you even know what you're saying, or has Henry manipulated you again?" Jennifer chimed in."He wouldn't."Fine, I'll tell you. Henry said he would deal with the Walkers. But it will take a few days, and we just have to be patient," Lydia exclaimed loudly, planning to credit Henry with the Walkers' downfall. With that, the Millers would regard him highly.However, she was unaware that Henry would be instrumental in bringing down the Walkers, exerting significant effort. The Walkers would not have collapsed so easily without him."What?""Do you even know what you're s
Meanwhile, someone was fighting outside.Lydia, who had planned to return to her room, heard the noise and immediately remembered Henry, who had just left the hall. She could not help but wonder if her grandfather had sent people to bring him down.Even though Henry was skilled in martial arts, he could not take on so many opponents alone. So she hurriedly went to see what was happening.As Henry stepped out of the hall, he was met by a group of six men who prevented him from leaving the mansion."You've been hiding so well, making it hard for me to find you," the group's leader, a young man, cursed menacingly.Henry furrowed his brows and asked, "Are you looking for me?""Who else would I be looking for? It's been so effortless stumbling upon you here," the young man replied arrogantly."And it's your own fault. How dare you to provoke the Millers? I must teach you a harsh lesson today," the young man declared proudly.Henry was speechless. He turned to look at the Miller Mans
When Jennifer heard that, she glared at Henry and said, "Henry, what are you doing? Who gave you permission to fight here?"Henry chuckled and pointed at Mark. "Him, of course. He tried to kill me. Should I just stand here and let him do it?""Nonsense!" Jennifer immediately retorted. "Mark has no grudge against you. Why would he attack you?""You should ask him that," Henry said coldly.He looked at Mark and said, "Tell them—why did you attack me? You better tell the truth!"Mark feared Henry's words, a strange dread lingering in his heart. Henry had embedded demonic martial arts in his words, which deeply impacted Mark's soul.Jennifer quickly said, "Don't be afraid of him, Mark. Tell the truth. Nobody will dare bully you with me here."Unfortunately, Mark was too frightened by Henry. He said, "Auntie told me to deal with you. She said you must divorce Lydia and leave the Millers immediately. Otherwise, I'm supposed to cripple you or even kill you.""You! You useless shit!"
"Don't mention it. My family owes you an apology. Unlike Sarah, they did that for me. So, I can't do anything to them," Lydia explained."I understand. Don't worry. The Walkers won't cause any trouble." Henry assured her."Okay. I'll wait for your good news then.""Okay."Henry got into the car and drove away.Lydia returned to the mansion as Henry left. She did not say a word to her family and returned to her room. She took out the knife-shaped jade pendant again.Lydia suddenly thought of an important question as she looked at the pendant. She wondered how Simon could have a similar pendant if he were not Little Beggar. Did Sarah tell Simon about it, and he made a fake one?It did not make sense! She had touched the pendant—it was made of the same material as the one she had. Even though she did not know much about jade, she had held onto her pendant for many years.Also, even though she told Sarah about her childhood, Sarah had never seen the pendant up close, let alone touc
Lydia knew what Simon was thinking. Her face filled with disgust. His words made her feel sickened even more."Why aren't you saying anything? If you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up now," Simon said arrogantly, thinking that Lydia was only trying to act innocent."Hang up then," Lydia replied curtly, and she immediately ended the call. She thought it was utterly useless talking to someone like Simon.Simon was dumbfounded. He thought she was supposed to beg him, even come to him of her own accord, and let him have his way with her.In a mix of shock and anger, he realized that Lydia had yet to learn the terrifying extent of his power.'I'll make you regret it,' Simon thought.While Simon was angry, he received a call that surprised him; it was from Matthew."You're coming at six tonight, Grandpa Matthew?""Yeah, I'm on my way out now," Matthew said in an unsympathetic tone. He had just concluded a dispute with the Brooks and was about to get a good rest. However, the fam
John felt that he needed to resolve their conflict as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Millers would suffer a disastrous fate if the Walkers ever took action against them.When John arrived at the hotel, he saw Simon at the entrance and was taken aback. He hurriedly approached the young man and said, "Young Master Walker!""What are you doing here?" Simon asked impatiently. Matthew was about to arrive. Sure enough, Matthew's car had already arrived."I want to talk to you about my granddaughter," John said hastily."I don't have time right now." Simon dismissed him and continued walking forward.John was bewildered. He wondered if Lydia and Simon's marriage was no longer important. However, he quickly understood when Simon respectfully greeted an elder who stepped out of the car. "Grandpa Matthew!"John realized the elder had to be Matthew, one of the Walkers' five most powerful figures.'We're done. Simon had invited a top figure from the Walkers to deal with us.' John sighed i
"No! Wait!"Lydia was startled. She could not allow her grandfather to kneel before her. She quickly said, "Don't worry; I won't leave the Millers behind. But can we buy some more time and wait a little longer?""No, didn't you hear what your grandfather said? Simon has already given us a deadline. If you don't show up tonight, we'll be finished tomorrow morning," Jennifer quickly said."No, there's another way."Lydia, you can go to Simon tonight and negotiate an extension of a few days. You can agree on everything first, then postpone the wedding for a few days. You'll be fine if Henry can deal with the Walkers within these few days."If not, it will only show that Henry is a big liar, deceiving you all along and even causing harm to our family."Then, marrying Simon would be the right choice."Jennifer immediately agreed, saying, "That's a good idea. It's like killing two birds with one stone. You can see Henry's true colors and prevent yourself from being fooled by him."Ly
Furthermore, the Walkers wield considerable power and influence.Meanwhile, Simon was entertaining Matthew.He did not dare to display any arrogance in front of Matthew. After all, the older man was a late-stage Transformative Force master, a terrifying presence wherever he went.Matthew's mood had improved due to Simon's hospitality. He grumbled, "Who's this young man who's so powerful that the family leader sent for my help, Simon?"Simon quickly explained everything to Matthew, mainly how Maximus was defeated by Henry.He also mentioned that he sent Hadleigh to deal with Henry, but Hadleigh had also vanished. Most importantly, Henry called to taunt him afterward."Hadleigh Vale? He was useless, so Henry was justified in killing him," Matthew said."Henry doesn't have much strength, yet he's quite arrogant," Simon said.Simon sneered. "I'll deal with him after dinner. He's a brat; no matter how strong he is, I only need minutes to deal with him.""Yes, with your personal tou
