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
Lydia was furious and considered not going. However, when she thought about her family's situation, she reluctantly replied, "Fine, I'll go to the hotel right away!"After hanging up the phone, Simon was ecstatic and almost wanted to return to the hotel immediately. After all, Lydia was the woman he had hoped to win over.However, having promised Matthew that he would wait for him and having already waited for quite some time, Simon became increasingly anxious.He finally decided he did not want to wait any longer and told the driver to wait for Matthew before taking a taxi back.After all, Matthew appeared to have enjoyed his meal and had mentioned that Simon could leave first.Even if Matthew did not, Simon no longer cared. In a worst-case scenario, he would only be scolded, and nothing would happen to him.He did not realize he would never see Matthew again.Matthew entered Henry's villa stealthily, relying on his strength.He was about to demonstrate his remarkable ability
Matthew laughed. "Stop pretending!"You brought up Hadleigh to show me your terrifying strength. Well, of course, you could kill him."He was already affected by the Dispersing Powder, so his strength had regressed. He couldn't even fully utilize the early-stage Transformative Force, let alone the mid-stage."You were lucky to have stumbled upon him!" Matthew sneered."Is that true?" I recall him being in the Transformative Force's mid-stage, possibly even nearing the end. "You shouldn't be that different from him," Henry puzzled."Do you think I'll believe that?" Matthew sneered."Stop talking and take this, Antswarm Strike!"Matthew moved quickly and appeared in front of Henry, striking."Is that all?" Henry was disdainful."This is all you got?" Henry sneered."You'll experience pain like never before," Matthew said coldly.Just as he was about to hit Henry's chest, Henry raised his right hand and waved it lightly.Matthew felt as if a powerful and terrifying force had h
Henry chuckled. "Of course, I'm aware of the Supreme Defenders' capabilities. But they won't come for me, only the Walkers."Don't worry, the Walkers won't last for long. There will be someone to keep you company so you won't be too lonely.""What—what did you say?"Matthew's expression changed drastically; it was too much for him. However, he did not have time to think about it; he felt a light force approaching him and fell to the ground with a bang.He had died.He had no idea who he had offended until his last breath; all he knew was that Simon had offended a formidable figure and even contributed to the Walkers' downfall.Henry looked around and noticed Matthew lying on the ground. Although he was cautious, he still caused minor damage.Henry shook his head. He thought Simon was annoying for sending people and causing a scene at his place.After cleaning up, Henry was about to sit when his phone rang.It was Lydia.'She can't hold it any longer? Or is she in a hurry?' He
Lydia looked at Simon with fear and quickly stated her intention, "I'll marry you, but only in three days. I need three days as a buffer.""Marry you?"You must've made a mistake, Lydia. I don't want to marry you now; all I want is your body. Otherwise, the Millers are finished," Simon sneered.Lydia was furious, but she controlled it. She did not care about his intentions because she did not want to be with him. She replied, "No matter what you want, I'll agree to do it, but only in three days.""Hmph, do you think I'm willing to wait for three days?" Simon sneered."There's no room for discussion about this," Simon said, moving aggressively toward her.Lydia panicked and exclaimed, "Wait!""Can't you wait for just three days?" she pleaded."No! I want you now!" Simon appeared evil as he pounced on Lydia."Don't move!" Lydia was nervous as she pulled out her small dagger."What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?""No! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll kill myself
