Henry looked at the two of them and smiled. "Relax, I have good news to share today."Cecilia gave Henry a playful glance and said, "Stop teasing me. I've been waiting for your good news every day."With her sexy outfit, Henry almost lost his composure."Don't worry, it's definitely good news," he said quickly."Are you serious, Mr. Truman?" Cecilia was only joking, so she was surprised."Of course I am!"I'm here to tell you I'm promoting you," Henry said."Promoting me?" Cecilia was taken aback. She was a team leader, and Herman was above her. She wondered what kind of promotion it could be."That's right!" Henry said.Henry asked, "Herman, how have you felt handling the sales department recently?""It's been tense and exhausting, but I feel very fulfilled. I've learned so much," Herman replied."Are you planning to transfer me somewhere else and promote Cecilia?"Even though Herman outranked Cecilia, he was respectful to Cecilia.Henry did not answer but continued askin
After a long moment, Herman finally spoke excitedly."Thank you, Henry. Without your help, I'd still be an ordinary salesman."No matter what you need from me in the future, I'll be there without hesitation.""Good to hear that," Henry said calmly."To be honest, I promoted Cecilia because I'm worried you lack experience. She'll assist you."So, you'll have to work hard to secure this position. Otherwise, Cecilia might take it from you.""Aren't you afraid this will cause conflict between us, Mr. Truman?" Cecilia asked helplessly."Don't worry about that!" Herman quickly reassured Cecilia."I know you well, and you've always looked out for me. I'm sure we will work well together."Herman turned to Henry and said, "Rest assured, I'll do my best.""Very good!" Henry said.Henry looked at Cecilia and smiled. "You've been with the company longer and have more experience. Please help Herman as much as possible, Ms. Leon.""I will, Mr. Truman.""Good. Even though there's only on
Jess flashed her police badge to the receptionist and said, "We're here for Henry. He's a suspect in a group fight."The receptionist was startled and quickly replied, "Please wait, let me check."Henry was not a nobody, so she could not just let them in.However, Jess ignored her and marched inside. She found someone and coldly asked, "Where's Henry?"The person was frightened and pointed the way. By then, Henry had received a call from the reception and decided to approach them. He soon encountered Jess and her team."Henry!" Jess called out."I told you we'd meet again. I didn't expect it to be this soon." Jess was furious as she remembered Henry's smug look the last time. She could finally arrest him.However, Henry remained unfazed by her irritation and smiled. "What brings you here, Officer Drayson? You want to see me?""Indeed. I'm to arrest you," Jess sneered."That's not right. That would mean you're biased against me," Henry replied with a smile.Realizing her slip,
Jess was furious after being blatantly provoked by Henry and Lydia. Her eyes filled with anger as she coldly glanced at Lydia and said, "He won't be released unless he's truly innocent. No one can make him walk free."Then, she left with her team.Lydia's expression darkened. She quickly asked the people nearby and learned that Henry had been arrested because of Edward.She had not expected Edward to lodge a police report against Henry. She needed to understand what had happened.Just then, Lydia's phone rang. It was John."Grandpa!""Come home immediately," John commanded."What happened? I'm busy right now and can't leave.""No matter how busy you are, you must come home immediately," John said."Alright." Lydia sighed and complied.John looked nervous. He instructed William and Jennifer to prepare everything.It turned out that Alfred Levy, Eric's grandfather, had requested Eric visit the Millers.About half an hour later, Eric arrived.He appeared refined and polite, w
Eric's grandfather even wanted Eric to meet Lydia. Top-notch beauties always surrounded Eric; he had no idea why he had to meet a woman from a trashy family.Alfred treated John pretty well. He hoped Lydia could get together with Eric. Of course, Eric must like her, too.John was curious and asked, "Which family dared to provoke you, Young Master Levy?""Hmph, the Yorks!" Eric sneered. He did not expect the Yorks to be so clueless and dare to go against him for a woman.He was there to offer a last chance to the Yorks, or they would end up miserably."The Yorks? They're quite powerful here." John was surprised."Bullshit!"The Yorks might seem powerful to you guys. But once I make a move, they won't stand a chance," Eric said arrogantly."Yeah, it's a different story if you intervene personally." John shook his head.He could not believe the Yorks dared to challenge the Levies.He sighed—the Yorks must have been clueless when they made that huge mistake. However, some mistake
When John and the others saw Eric's reaction, they were excited. John was confident that everything would work out as expected. He immediately said, "Young Master Levy, please allow me to introduce you to my granddaughter, Lydia.""She's the CEO of Miller Group, in charge of the entire organization."Eric finally regained his composure when he heard that. He was less arrogant than before. He stepped forward with enthusiasm and said, "Hello, Ms. Miller. I didn't expect you to look so stunning. You're more beautiful than a fairy."As he spoke, he extended his right hand, intending to shake Lydia's.Lydia hesitated, and she did not extend her hand in the end.Jennifer quickly introduced them, saying, "Why are you just standing there? This is Mr. Levy from Aurelia. Greet him right away."Eric immediately responded, "It's fine. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Miller. You must be nervous as this is our first meeting. Come, let's sit down and talk."It was clear he was not going to leave.
"Henry, do you think there's someone behind supporting you who can help you get out of here?" Jess's question was obviously a trap."No, I didn't say someone was supporting me.""Why are you so confident then that someone will be able to help you get out of here?""I didn't say anyone would bail me out. I'm confident I can get out because I haven't done anything illegal. Since I haven't done anything illegal, of course, I can get out of here." Henry smiled.When Jess heard that, she cursed discreetly. 'What a cunning person. He didn't say anything at all.' She said coldly, "You managed to escape the last time, but we have concrete evidence this time. Let's see how you'll be able to get out of this."Henry smiled and said, "Officer Drayson, do you want to make a bet? If I can't leave the police station today, I'll listen to your instructions in everything from now on.""Are you sure?" Jess sneered. With her ability and the fact that Henry had indeed committed a crime, keeping him
Sebastian put down the phone helplessly. He looked at his father's eager eyes. It was obvious that he was asking what Henry's reply was.As several previous calls were unanswered, he did not turn on the speaker on his phone for the call. As such, the people near him could not hear the content of their conversation clearly."Mr. Truman said to call him when Eric arrives," Sebastian said helplessly."It's still the same."Bowen smiled bitterly and said with frustration, "That's it. We can only listen to Mr. Truman's instructions. Besides, Eric didn't come here as soon as he came to Hodbridge. He must be waiting for us to compromise.""So, we can still afford to wait for Mr. Truman to get here.""I'm afraid that he'll abandon us. If he doesn't show up, we'll be in trouble," one of the family elders said."He won't do that." Sebastian shook his head and said, "Since Henry had promised us, he'd definitely do it."On the other hand, Jess was worried that Henry was plotting something.
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
