"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,
"What?!"Henry's words stunned John and the others. They took a moment to react."Henry, are you insane?""Do you know what you're doing? You're provoking the Walkers and bringing them here? Are you trying to kill us?"Henry chuckled and said, "Since you believe I'm here to harm you, I'll just fulfill your expectations.""You—""Henry, don't you think you've gone too far? I've always treated you well; is this how you repay us?" John screamed in rage."You sent people to kill me. Is that what you are trying to say?"I doubt I'm the one in debt now," Henry said without hesitation, even though Lydia was present.His words rendered the Millers speechless. In fact, they had not given Henry much, but he had helped them several times, most notably by helping them join the Everising Chamber of Commerce, which almost saved the Millers. John had no idea Henry did all that."Whatever happens, this is Lydia's family. You shouldn't harm her," John stated coldly."You claim to be her fami
"Oh, yeah! I forgot about that. But will they act today?" Lydia quickly asked."They will. They're already on their way." Henry confirmed it as he had received reliable information."That's great. I had no idea you had such powerful connections to bring people who could deal with the Walkers." Lydia purposefully praised Henry to give him credit.The Millers were unaware that Henry did not summon those people; instead, they were there for the Walkers for themselves. That was an excellent opportunity to deceive the Millers.Even Henry was surprised; he had not told Lydia that he had arranged for someone to deal with the Walkers, but she seemed to know about it.The Millers were even more perplexed and asked, "What are you talking about, Lydia? Who did he bring? Who's powerful enough to confront the Walkers?""Henry brought some incredibly powerful people," Lydia exclaimed joyfully."That's impossible; he's simply bluffing. How could he find someone to deal with the Walkers? They'r
