Chelsea's face paled. She was so scared that she just closed her eyes.Fortunately, Henry was there. With a cold snort, he stepped forward and casually broke the hands of several security guards.They screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, looking agonized. Even though their legs were not broken, they were unable to crawl.Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Henry, who appeared delicate, to be so skilled.Chelsea opened her eyes in surprise. She was confused about what had happened.Howie's expression changed. He said angrily, "No wonder you're so cocky. So you know martial arts, huh? But do you think you can do whatever you want here? I'm calling the police now."Meanwhile, Hazel said, "Mr. Bass, the new CEO is arriving soon—""So what?" Howie ignored Hazel's reminder and made the call.Hazel was helpless. After all, Howie had a close relationship with Leonard. Otherwise, he would not be in charge of such an important department.She could not afford to offend hi
Everyone was shocked by Hazel's words; no one could ever believe what they just witnessed. No one could imagine that the young man, who looked very delicate, was the company's new CEO.Howie's heart sank as he saw Hazel's expression. His legs went weak, and he almost knelt.He was over!"Mr. Truman, I—" Howie stuttered."Do you still want me to leave?" Henry said coldly."No, no, Mr. Truman! It was a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were the CEO. Please spare me a chance," Howie pleaded."Do you mean you can act recklessly if you didn't know I was the CEO?" Henry retorted."No, I—""Enough, I don't have time for your nonsense. Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to kick you out?" Henry could not be bothered to deal with him.Howie's face changed drastically, a flash of cruelty in his eyes. He shouted, "It was indeed my fault just now, Mr. Truman. But I've made significant contributions to the company. Isn't that too heartless to kick me out because I offende
"Understood!" Hazel responded promptly with respect; she also needed to report the situation to Leonard."Go now. Remember, everyone in the company must be present in ten minutes or miss it at their own risk," Henry said coldly."Understood!" Hazel and Howie responded.Once they left, Nickie finally snapped back to her senses. She looked at Henry with shock and embarrassment. She had always looked down on him and never believed his words. It turned out he was the new CEO.She felt awkward and said cautiously, "Mr. Truman, what I said earlier was—""Forget about it. Just do your job well in the future," Henry said.Even though Nickie had been rude and disrespectful to him multiple times, she was competent. Henry decided to tolerate her attitude for the time being, but she was off the table for any promotions; he planned to replace Howie with Zoey."Yes, sir," Nickie responded meekly, losing her previous arrogance. She glanced at Chelsea and smiled bitterly.'Chelsea had a good e
Even Chelsea had been scolded by Nickie many times. However, since she was the only one who received guidance and protection from Nickie, she felt grateful to her.The company had multiple design director positions. As long as someone had enough management ability and design skills, the company would give them a chance. However, Zoey had been held back because she offended Howie.Zoey was stunned but excited. She said, "Of course, I'm willing to do so, Mr. Truman. I'm confident I can do well as a design director."Then, she hesitated. "But...""But what?" Henry asked.Zoey hesitated because she was unsure of how to express her concern, but she finally said, "I'm afraid it might affect your management later."Henry understood immediately and smiled. He said, "I get what you mean. Don't worry. No one will be able to stop me from doing anything after today."Everyone was shocked, including Nickie. They wondered what Henry meant. How could he deal with all the threats at once?Befo
Everyone's expression had changed as they heard the conversation between Henry and Leonard, who was known to be very prideful and domineering, far more so than Howie. Henry was bold to confront him directly.Leonard's face slightly darkened as expected, and his expression turned a little sinister.'You've overestimated yourself. I'm going to crush you easily if you can't even handle Howie,' Leonard thought.Leonard suppressed his dissatisfaction, smiled, and explained, "I was late because I got a call from a friend from the provincial office, a high-ranking officer."I would've hung up if that's anyone else, but I couldn't offend this person; he could've wiped out our group easily."His words were a veiled threat. Henry chuckled and said, "I see, that does sound important.""Exactly," Leonard replied, feeling triumphant. He thought he had scared Henry, who he believed was clueless and overconfident."Mr. Truman, this way," Leonard said as he led Henry to the hall."Are you hold
Henry was surprised and asked, "That idiot's still around?""What did you say?" Lydia was taken aback."Nothing. What time is the lunch appointment?" Henry asked."It's at 11:30 a.m., at the Four Seasons Restaurant.""That's so early. Anyway, thanks for letting me know. You can go ahead; I've got some things to handle here. I'll see you later." Then, Henry hung up.Lydia was stunned, wondering what Henry meant by that. He must be crazy to show up, which would definitely anger Eric, and he had no way to handle it without showing up.John and Jennifer had made it clear that her failure to comply would cause a significant fallout and might even harm the Millers.However, she could not be bothered about it. She could only hope Henry had a plan.He always seemed reckless, but he always came out unscathed.It was already 10:00 a.m. Henry had to hurry up if he wanted to arrive at the Four Seasons Restaurant on time. After all, it was quite some distance away.He quickly grabbed a fe
That announcement left everyone in the hall completely stunned. Even though Henry's voice was not particularly loud, everyone heard him clearly.Stuart was number two in the sales department and was suddenly promoted to Vice President. Henry said he would manage the entire group's operations on his behalf, which was practically the role of the CEO.It felt incredibly surreal.Nickie was also taken aback. She had expected Henry might make some bold moves after the earlier incident, but she had not anticipated anything that drastic. It was a direct challenge to the core senior management of the entire group.Zoey smiled bitterly in secret. She recalled what Henry had said earlier. She thought he might only be making grand statements, as implementing such changes seemed too unrealistic. However, after listening to his announcement, she realized Henry was serious about his plans.Everyone else, including Stuart, was equally stunned.Stuart had even planned to leave the company to joi
"Good, that's all I need to hear," Henry said firmly."Your position is set with immediate effect. You are the new Vice CEO.""Wait a minute!" Leonard could not hold back any longer."Mr. Truman, you just joined the company. You don't understand the situation here. Isn't it too rash to appoint a new Vice CEO so quickly? Shouldn't we all sit down and vote on it?""No need," Henry replied."My boss fully owns this group and has granted me complete authorization to manage the company."Leonard's face turned ashen with anger, and said, "How can you act so autocratically? Aren't you afraid of ruining the company? Who would want to work under you?""If anyone here is unwilling to work under my leadership, please step forward."They saw Henry's cold and authoritative demeanor; it was clear that he meant business."Me!" Howie stepped up, thinking it was his turn to show off. He had managed to dominate Henry earlier and felt it was time to regain his influence. He remembered how Henry
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
