Lydia could not even steady hold the dagger because she mentally collapsed.As Lydia panicked, Simon grabbed the dagger from her hand and slapped her.Even though he liked Lydia a lot, he was enraged and jealous of her concern for Henry.Lydia groaned and collapsed to the side. Simon approached her, and she retorted in shock and anger. "You—you lied to me just to take my dagger.""Why would I lie to you?"Grandpa Matthew set out to kill Henry. Even if he hasn't killed him yet, he's likely torturing him. He enjoys torturing people until they wish they were dead," Simon sneered."You—you son of a bitch!" Lydia was anxious and angry, and her face was filled with despair."Did you just find out?" Simon sneered, his eyes gleaming as he moved toward Lydia."No! You are the Walkers' young master. You've helped me several times before. Can't you just wait a few days for me?""What a joke! When have I ever helped you?""Did you really think I helped the Miller Group recover those outs
"It was planned for me to be the hero who saves you. But Henry was a step ahead of me, or you would've already been my woman." Simon laughed. "Henry has been secretly protecting you all along, and you were unaware of it."Do you understand why I am telling you all this? I want you to know everything he has done so you can feel hopeless and in pain.""How—how can you do that, you shameless shit!" Lydia was speechless. She was filled with pain and anger that she could not express, and she felt only deep despair, especially since Henry was already dead.She had never felt so terrible before."I'm more than that; I'm a pervert," Simon retorted."I'll take pictures and videos to humiliate you and your family."Henry can protect you no more."Lydia's face paled, and she nearly fainted. At that point, a cold voice asked, "Who says so?"Lydia looked at the door excitedly as she heard that voice.It was Henry, whom she assumed had died.In contrast, Simon's expression changed. He knew
"Did I say you could leave?" Henry turned to face the doorway and spoke calmly.Simon's expression changed when he heard Henry's words. For unknown reasons, his feet appeared to be frozen, preventing him from moving despite being only a few steps away from the exit.As Henry approached him, Simon forgot he was skilled in martial arts, became terrified, and exclaimed, "No—no!"I'm the Walker family's heir. The Walkers won't let you off if you even touch me.""So what?" Henry mocked.Simon's face became even paler. Henry had already eliminated several of the Walkers' masters, including Matthew, a late-stage Transformative Force master. Matthew was an excellent master, but Henry had managed to kill him, possibly through poison or a trick. Whatever the method, something must have happened to Matthew since Henry was there."My grandfather is a Pinnacle Master of Transformative Force who's about to advance to Grandmaster, becoming a Supreme Mightster. He will never let you go," Simon s
'Henry, no matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than a Grand Master. You can't hide from my grandfather and our masters,' Simon reasoned. To him, Henry was simply a skilled martial artist with no real backing.Lydia was concerned that Simon might only make empty promises, so she looked at Henry and asked, "How can we ensure he keeps his word?""Don't worry. If he dares to break his promise, he will pay for it," Henry said calmly."All right," Lydia said, nodding."Did you hear that?""Yes, yes. I swear, I'll keep my promise. I'll call John right now and cancel the engagement." He took out his phone and called John.When John learned the news, he was perplexed. He quickly asked, "What do you mean by this, Young Master Walker? Why are you canceling the engagement? Did Lydia say or do anything wrong?""No, it's my decision. Also, I promise we won't bother the Millers in the future," Simon said before hanging up.John was perplexed and attempted to call Lydia immediatel
Lydia smiled bitterly as she watched Simon exit in an embarrassed manner. She felt that Henry did not need to provoke Simon further; they could not defend themselves if the Walkers came after them later.However, she said nothing. Instead, she asked, "Henry, do you think he'll keep his promise?""No," Henry replied; he could tell by Simon's eyes, which concealed his hatred and anger."Ah—" Lydia was taken aback. She asked, "Why did you let him go so easily then?""What else could I do? I can't kill him, and I can't keep him in prison." Henry shrugged helplessly.Lydia smiled bitterly. It was definitely a difficult situation. Letting him go meant that he might return for vengeance.She then asked helplessly, "So, what should we do now?""There's nothing to worry about. He won't cause any trouble," Henry said, smiling."Really?""Trust me. Please notify me immediately if anything happens, and don't do anything foolish," Henry said."Okay. I was just worried about causing you tr
"I'm being serious.""Okay, let's stop talking about it," Lydia said."Our main concern now is figuring out how to deal with the Walkers' retaliation tomorrow.""Don't worry; I have a plan. You have nothing to worry about. Just go home and get some rest," Henry assured her.If the Walkers approached them, Henry would be willing to assist the Supreme Defenders in dealing with them. He expected Denton, the Walkers' top master, to arrive personally, accompanied by other masters. If that were the case, it would undoubtedly help the Supreme Defenders, who were planning a raid on the Walkers the following day. That was why Henry advised Lydia not to worry.He did not expect Simon to be so despicable and shameless as to invite Lydia to his hotel. Fortunately, Henry acted quickly to avoid the disastrous consequences, which would not be undone even by Simon's execution.Lydia returned home after Henry had reassured her. She had no choice but to trust him completely. On her way back, she c
John's words left both William and Jennifer slightly stunned.Lydia's expression changed slightly. She assumed her grandfather would not find out, but it appeared he had already guessed."Simon placed that call under threat. However, you're all so naive that you have no idea what will happen next."John complained bitterly, "You let him go solely because of his promise. He must have left with revenge in mind rather than keeping his word."I'm afraid the Walkers have already been informed and will take big action tomorrow.""It can't be that fast, can it?" Lydia was frightened.Jennifer became even more terrified and, in panic, asked, "Dad, do you mean Simon will retaliate against us?""Of course!" John replied coldly."Lydia, you're smart enough not to make such a simple mistake. Have you been completely bewitched by Henry?""I—" Lydia wanted to argue."Enough! It's pointless to say anything now." John interrupted Lydia.He then asked, "Where is Henry now?""Why do you want
"Okay," Henry replied calmly."How can you remain so calm? Don't take this lightly. We Millers may not have anyone stronger than you, but my grandfather is good at finding people," Lydia remarked."Don't worry. I haven't gotten close enough to you yet; nothing will happen to me easily," Henry said jokingly."What are you saying!" Lydia's face turned slightly red, and she could not help but recall that night at the hotel. Even though she had few memories of it, a strange sensation crept into her mind.Lydia felt uneasy even after she hung up the phone.John's men spent significant time investigating before discovering Henry's location. However, they were no match for him and were quickly defeated.John stayed up all night waiting for good news. However, he was furious when he discovered his men could not defeat Henry. John assumed Henry must have trained hard on the mountain since childhood, making him difficult to beat for ordinary people. However, no matter how strong Henry was,
