Slap!A crisp slap was heard.Eric had stood up and slapped Bowen.Bowen experienced a burning pain in his cheek. Eric's strength surpassed that of ordinary people. The pain was so intense that he nearly screamed.He did his best to keep himself upright and avoid falling to the ground."Bowen, do you know what you're talking about?"What do you mean by letting Lilian go? Am I giving her a hard time?"I'm giving her a chance. I like her. It's God's gift to her. She should be grateful," Eric said angrily with a proud and domineering look.His attitude, behavior, and arrogant words enraged the entire York family. Even though the York family had many members, they stood in the hall together.Even though they were furious, none of them dared to speak up. Nobody said anything at all.Sebastian, on the other hand, felt compelled to fight. However, Bowen stopped him. It was not the time to be impulsive.The person next to Eric was incredibly powerful. When he first broke into the ho
Regardless of whether Henry could beat Eric, they could not care about that anymore at the moment.When Eric heard Henry's words, he looked at him mockingly and said, "Do you know what you're saying? Who do you think you are?"How dare you stand up for her? Do you even know who I am?""Yes, I do," Henry replied calmly."Yet you're so arrogant. Are you looking for death?" Eric was furious. He thought it was a clear sign of disrespect."It's you who's looking for death!"You just gave Bowen a chance. Now I'm giving you one too!"If you leave the Yorks alone right now and never bother them again, I'll let you go this time," Henry said coldly.'What? Giving me a chance? Letting me go?' Eric could not believe his ears.'How can a nobody in such a small city dare to talk to me like this?' Eric wondered.Bowen and Sebastian were stunned. They thought Henry was pretending to be tough in front of them, but he seemed even tougher in front of Eric.Was he really risking everything for
Greg appeared to be struck by a terrifying force, releasing a muffled grunt before staggering back and falling to the ground, coughing up blood.He took a few moments to recover before looking at Henry with surprise. "What are you?""It doesn't matter; handling you is more than enough, don't you agree?" Henry responded calmly."Of course. If you hadn't held back, I'd be completely crippled. I'm grateful for your mercy," Greg said while bowing slightly.Then he turned to Eric and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Levy. His strength is beyond my capabilities. I'm like a child in front of him."Greg walked to the side and sat down to heal his injuries. He was a highly-paid master employed by the Levies, so he had some autonomy.That scene left everyone stunned.The Yorks, who had seen Greg's terrifying power before, could not believe how easily Henry handled him. They might have thought that was a rehearsed scene, but they knew it was impossible.Lilian's eyes sparkled with admiratio
Bowen and the others could not help but smile bitterly. They knew there was no way Henry would accept Eric's offer. They wondered how much trouble Henry would stir up and how that day's events would ultimately end.It would spell disaster for everyone involved if Henry killed Eric with his martial arts skills.As expected, Henry laughed when he heard Eric's words. He shook his head and said, "How can someone from a small family like you get the confidence to act so arrogant and reckless?"Eric was speechless, then yelled angrily, "Do you even know who I am? I'm Eric, the Levy family's eldest son from Aurelia. We're not some random unknown family."The crowd smiled bitterly, but Henry remained unfazed. "The Levies from Aurelia? That's a small family to me."Do you have the same strength as the Trumans, the Morrisons, or the Lancasters?" he asked.The crowd was speechless. Even though they were not from Aurelia, they had heard of the top four supreme clans, and those Henry mentione
"Trash!" Henry shouted, his tone filled with disdain."I'll give you one last chance. Call your grandfather for help. Bring in whatever backing you have."The Yorks were stunned again. They had no idea what Henry meant by that. After humiliating Eric so thoroughly, he let him call for help. If Eric called in his powerful family, they would undoubtedly seek revenge.Bowen was worried. He quickly said, "Mr. Truman, Eric is the rightful heir of Levies. If they found out about his humiliation, they would come after you at all costs.""It doesn't matter," Henry replied dismissively.Everyone was stunned by his arrogance. Only someone from the supreme clans could afford to dismiss the Levies so casually.Bowen could only smile bitterly, and Sebastian was shocked. On the other hand, Lilian was full of admiration, recalling Henry's earlier words that Eric was like an ant to him."Are you going to take that chance or not?" Henry looked at Eric with a calm expression.Eric could not beli
Eric was very excited. He assumed Henry would soon become terrified, let him go, and perhaps even beg for mercy. However, as he listened to the conversation, he sensed something was wrong.The Yorks were extremely anxious. They could not understand why Henry was giving Eric that opportunity. Maybe Henry understood that the outcome would be the same eventually.Yet, seeing Eric in such a miserable state, they feared that Alfred would react furiously and things would get even worse. What puzzled them the most was Henry's calm demeanor in the face of Alfred.Unfortunately, they could not hear what Alfred said on the other end of the phone, so they had to wait and see how things would unfold.In comparison to them, Alfred was genuinely terrified. His face became pale. As one of the Eighteen Generals of Golden Liberty, he knew the organization's terrifying power well.The Levies had grown rapidly over the years, partly thanks to Golden Liberty's support. Even if they never became one o
Eric took the phone, clearly flustered. He stammered, "Grandpa!""You idiot! I don't have a grandson like you!"I told you to behave, but you never listen. Do you think the Levies are invincible and that we can fix every mess you make?"I'd come over and beat you to death myself if I weren't in the Aurelia now!""Grandpa, what are you talking about? Who is he that you're so scared of?""He's capable of crushing us with the snap of his fingers. No, just a word from him would wipe us out completely."Eric was dumbfounded. He knew his grandfather well—the man was proud and unyielding. Henry must be unimaginably powerful for his grandpa to say something so outrageous.How could that be? Not even someone from the supreme clans would be that audacious."You don't believe me, do you?" Alfred continued."You should know that the Levies' success today is all because of our connection to the Golden Liberty."Alfred knew he had to make Eric understand the gravity of the situation. Other
The Yorks started to feel hopeful, especially after seeing Eric's reaction on the phone. They watched him closely, and their hope grew stronger.They wondered how Henry could make Alfred bow, and Eric, who had been so arrogant, seemed completely different then.Eric hung up the phone, trembling as he faced Henry. Then, he knelt and surrendered!The Yorks could not believe it. That confirmed that Alfred was truly afraid of Henry. The young man had completely overpowered Eric without any effort, just as he had said he would.The once high and mighty Levies' heir was indeed just an ant before Henry.Everyone was even more shocked when Eric started to kneel and knocked his head on the floor. He cried out as his forehead was bleeding, "I'm sorry, Master of Golden Liberty! I was wrong. I was ignorant and offended you. Please spare me."The whole room was stunned.Did he say Master of Golden Liberty?Henry was the Master of Golden Liberty, the legendary figure with immense power and r
