When Chester saw that, he became even angrier and continued to attack frantically.That made Henry look slightly embarrassed.Lydia was even more worried.Chester grew more and more arrogant, and his attacks became more and more vicious.Lewis was also very excited because he would be able to get his vengeance soon.However, Henry stopped avoiding Chester's palm just then and faced the attack directly. At the same time, he released his right fist and extended his palm to strike his opponent in the vital position directly.Chester was overjoyed when he saw that he had hit Henry. He had no time to react. He was struck hard. He groaned and felt his entire body tremble.His body was in excruciating pain, and he nearly fell on the spot. He quickly retreated and escaped.However, how could Henry pass up the great opportunity he had worked so hard for? He took advantage of Chester's injury to attempt to kill him. He continued to attack Chester.Even though Henry could not use his vit
Lydia walked out, but she was still so concerned about the situation inside that she could not help but want to stop and return to take a look. However, she reflected on how she had been willful and refused to listen to Henry in the past and how she had always been wrong.Finally, she controlled herself and went downstairs. Henry was down within a minute.So fast?Lydia hurried forward and asked, "You're done negotiating?""Yes, we did negotiate. In the future, they will never bother us again."Henry smiled, knowing they would never bother them again since they were dead.On the surface, he appeared relaxed, but the recent attack had aggravated his injuries.Even though he did not use his vital energy, activating the power in his body resulted in significant damage.It was best for him to lie down and rest or sit cross-legged, allowing his vital energy to circulate gradually and heal his body.Lydia had never cultivated and had no idea about it. Naturally, she was unaware of t
Jennifer could tolerate anything to please the best son-in-law in the world, Henry.Following that, they had a great time entertaining each other. Henry was treated better than any other distinguished visitor.Jennifer was unconcerned about her humiliation at the dinner table. She deliberately pulled her daughter aside and reminded her several times.She reminded her daughter to take advantage of the opportunity to have more frequent sex with Henry so that she could become pregnant as soon as possible and fully secure her position as the Master of Golden Liberty's wife.Lydia appeared helpless.'Again about the Master of Golden Liberty's wife. What would happen if my mother awakened from her wonderful dream?'Who'd know how much trouble she'd cause if she learned Henry wasn't the new Master of Golden Liberty?'Why would he stay by my side and be humiliated by my family if he were truly the Master of Golden Liberty? Why didn't she ask herself that question?'Is it me? Do I quali
Henry felt even more excited when he heard Lydia's moan. Then, Lydia suddenly exclaimed, "Wait!""What's wrong?" Henry asked, his excitement dampened as he stopped."I need to take a shower first," Lydia replied."Now? Really?" Henry was baffled, trying to continue."No, I think I might be on my period," Lydia explained hesitantly."What?" Henry was stunned."Seriously?""Yes," Lydia confirmed.Henry's excitement was replaced by disappointment. It would mean at least a week or two of waiting, and his hard-earned moment was slipping away.Lydia quickly got up and headed to the bathroom, leaving Henry confused and frustrated.Lydia was right; her period had started. It was not something she could control. Neither of them slept well that night.The next morning, Lydia got up early and went straight to work; she was too embarrassed to wake Henry.Typically, she would have insisted Henry get up and head to work. Despite the Neptune Group's arrangements and delegated responsibili
After the call, John understood everything. Henry had nothing to do with resolving their issue with the Levies. It was Lydia who had secretly called and sought help from Peter. Furthermore, Lydia had intentionally attributed all the credit to Henry.Lydia provided them with all the information they knew, including the claim that Henry was the Master of Golden Liberty. It suggested that Lydia and Henry had deceived them.John's face paled with anger as he realized it and nearly triggered a heart attack. He felt utterly manipulated.Jennifer was equally shocked, slapping herself in regret. She had sensed that something was off in Lydia's attitude. Despite what should have been a joyous event, Lydia had seemed burdened. They finally realized it was all a ruse, making them feel deeply humiliated, especially since they had gone out of their way to please Henry, who turned out to be a worthless imposter.John's face grew darker. He had been played in his old age and by his most beloved g
Henry needed to rest. He headed to Paradise One after leaving the Miller Mansion instead of heading to work. It was a perfect place for him to recuperate. He would have gone there earlier but did not want to seem rude by leaving the Millers so soon, and he wanted to spend time with Lydia.The previous night's fight had worsened his injuries, so he needed even more time to recover.Just as he settled down and prepared to rest, Lydia called."Do you have a moment? Can you help me with something?" Lydia asked. She was swamped, and her parents were unavailable. She could not leave her cousin, who was arriving from far away, without someone to pick her up. Plus, she had thought Henry always seemed to have free time, even when he went to the office."What do you need?" Henry asked."My cousin, Maeve Patterson, is coming from our hometown. Can you pick her up from the airport?" Lydia explained. Maeve's flight would arrive at 12:30 p.m.—they only had an hour plus before she arrived."Alr
As Maeve spoke, she deliberately got closer to Henry, even wrapping her arms around his. Henry was stunned by her actions and thought she was too enthusiastic, leaving him confused.The young man following them did not like that and glared at Henry with a hostile look. He smirked and said, "Looking good isn't enough for a man; what's important is having the real deal.""Exactly," Henry quickly replied, trying to change the topic."Maeve, aren't you going to introduce us?""This is Jacob McBride. He's been pursuing me and insisted on coming to Hodbridge with me," Maeve explained."By the way, I hear you're really good at martial arts, and no one can beat you."Before Henry could deny it, Jacob scoffed. "With that weak-looking body? The people he fought must be trash. I can take him down in no time.""Don't brag. Henry is really strong. Don't cry if you get beaten," Maeve retorted."Impossible!" Jacob said arrogantly."Henry, do you dare to spar with me? Let's see who's better."
On their way outside, Maeve said, "You can fight, but make sure it's safe. Don't hurt each other, especially you, Jacob. Don't hurt Henry."Her words made Jacob even angrier. Henry noticed that while she seemed to defend him, Maeve was actually stirring things up.They quickly reached an open and empty place.Jacob said arrogantly, "Here we are. Since you're older, you can make the first move.""Are you sure?" Henry asked calmly."Of course!" Jacob replied confidently."Alright!" Henry stepped forward immediately and threw a punch. It looked weak and unimpressive.Maeve was also taken aback. She wondered if Henry was really good at martial arts."Hah! What a joke!" Jacob laughed."With this move, you couldn't hurt me even if I stood still."Just as Jacob was about to counterattack, Henry's fist suddenly accelerated and gained tremendous force, striking Jacob's chest.Jacob let out a cry and fell heavily to the ground before he could react. Henry did not stop there. He quickl
