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
"Really?"Henry could not help but smile. Then, he said calmly, "Howie, I know you've been selling our company's designs to our competitors for two years, making huge profits from that. That's true, right?""That's just rumors!"Those are definitely rumors!"Who's spreading nonsense out there? I'll kill them!"Howie's facial expression changed drastically. He then yelled anxiously.His voice could be heard by everyone there. It clearly displayed how frightened Howie was."Rumors? So, why are there so many details involved?Henry chuckled and said, "June 8th, two years ago... last year... and the most recent one—today."On the 6th of this month, you sold a ring designed by Zoey, as well as designs by several other designers, including Nickie, to your competitors for a profit of 150,000 dollars."All the information was in great detail, including the date and amount involved.When Howie heard that, his face turned pale, and he denied it with fear. "That's false. They spread fa
However, perhaps Henry only knew what was happening in the design department. After all, he went straight to the design department when he arrived. Maybe a member of the design department revealed secrets to him discreetly.'Yes, that must be the case.'When Howie considered that, he felt much more confident.Henry appeared calm as he faced Henry's pitiful begging in front of him. He said calmly, "I wouldn't have pursued the matter if it was a minor issue in the office. The truth is, you did other things that made me sick to my stomach.""What? I didn't know you before this. I don't think I offended you in any way," Howie was nervous."The women," Henry said calmly."You used your position as head of the design department to coerce and entice several women, causing them significant harm. Although several employees have left the company, your errors have already caused harm."When Howie heard that, he became pale and fell to the ground.Henry ignored him and said, "Leonard, do y
Hailey was not willing to take risks. Even the Vice CEO and Howie, who had kept their secrets so deep, were completely exposed.Needless to say, Stuart might already be aware of her situation.It was also possible that Stuart had reported her in order to gain a promotion.Everything that happened stunned everyone.None of them expected Henry to be able to do all of that. However, the truth lay before them—their new CEO was as powerful as God.Nickie appeared stunned. Henry's abilities were utterly beyond her imagination. It was unbelievable.Zoey and the others were also stunned. Something that they thought was impossible was solved so quickly.Leonard, Howie, and Hayley were the company's leading corruption figures.Of course, other people from the purchasing department and other departments were also involved.However, with the three leaders apprehended, the rest of them could not cause significant damage in the future.Henry looked at Hailey calmly and said, "Good, that's
Henry had a photographic and amazing memory. As a result, he could easily recall everyone's names and explain their respective positions.The announcement seemed simple. Henry, the new CEO who had recently joined the company, appeared to know everyone's name and ability.He knew each employee's name and the position they were supposed to be in. He did not even need a script.That was not something ordinary people could accomplish. One could only describe the new CEO as terrifying and powerful; he had worked hard to understand the company.With that, those involved in corruption decided to confess right away."That's all for now. Moving forward, whoever works hard and performs well will undoubtedly have many good opportunities."In my opinion, one's capability has always been the most important factor. Whoever has the ability will undoubtedly have the opportunity to move up."Of course, a person's character is also important; they must not violate public conscience or the law."
At her family's strong request, Lydia arrived at the Four Seasons Restaurant and entered the room. She immediately sent Henry the room number once she knew it.Henry had instructed her to send him the specific location as soon as possible."Lydia, there you are."When John saw his granddaughter, he breathed a sigh of relief.William and Jennifer were also very pleased. Eric was present along with the three of them. His face appeared abnormal as if he had been beaten.As everything was an emergency, Henry was not sure.Eric's eyes brightened when he saw Lydia. However, Henry's appearance prevented him from taking down the York family and Lilian.He was pleasantly surprised to end with a beauty like Lydia, though.After all, Lydia was far superior to Lilian. The only difference was that he did not successfully extort any money.Eric tried to control his excitement by calmly pointing to his right and smiling, "Lydia, come sit here."Lydia looked at him and said, "It's fine. I'll
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
