"Peter Truman? He's from a very important family. He's the son of the Truman family in Aurelia. Not many young people in Aurelia can compare to him."If Lydia could marry into the Truman family, our family would prosper in the future, and you'd also benefit from it," Jennifer said excitedly."I see. No wonder you don't like your son-in-law." The Miller family thought Peter was more powerful, so they did not like Henry. It seemed they did not know how powerful Henry was.Given the case, it would benefit Maeve if she kept silent.She would have a chance to be with Henry then.Maeve felt that she understood the entire situation.If she could marry a man like Henry, it would be her greatest dream come true. How could she miss such a golden opportunity?Since they had devised such a plan, John said, "I shall speak with Peter. Perhaps we can even discuss a better plan to get Henry to leave on his own initiative. If he doesn't do the smart thing, don't blame me for being ruthless and i
When Jess approached, she immediately told everyone to draw their guns, and they walked in carefully.When she entered, she noticed several bodies on the ground. It was clear they had been through a battle. Her facial expression changed immediately, even though she had no idea what she was worried about.Next, Jess noticed Henry, who was sitting at the side. She saw blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and all over his body.She quickly looked around and said, "Check the surroundings."She walked quickly toward Henry, slightly concerned. She asked, "Henry, are you dead?"Her question was somewhat awkward.Henry smiled sadly and said, "I'm dead. So, will you mourn for me?""No, dream on..."People like you deserve to be hacked into pieces," Jess said.For some unknown reason, the inexplicable panic in her heart vanished suddenly; at least she did not have to worry anymore."So cruel. I was your boyfriend in one way or another." When Henry thought about the last bet, an i
"They wouldn't let us call the police, so I came here with John. We also brought 75 million here."However, before we gave them the money, they began fighting because of disagreements over fund distribution, which some claimed was unfair."They then killed each other, and I was fortunate to be able to save my wife."His statement sounded good, but it was unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, one would divide the ransom only after receiving the money.Why would they fight against themselves even before receiving the money?So, Jess did not believe any of it. When she saw Henry's casual expression, she became even angrier, saying, "You mean they fought before they got the money? Do you think it makes sense?""It doesn't," Henry replied seriously."Then why are you talking nonsense?""They're not nonsense. Although it seemed unreasonable, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It happened.""Alright, even if that was true, why would they fight before getting the money? What was
"That's not the problem. Since they're a killer organization, what if there are others? If an ordinary person like me kills them, they will seek revenge," Henry said helplessly."Follow me to the police station then. Take him away."Jess stood up and stopped talking nonsense with Henry.Then, Jensen finally arrived. He brought Seven Blades with him and Wyatt, the master from Chapman Legacy who was training them.Jensen heard Henry's tone. It seemed that he was in big trouble. As such, he brought Seven Blades and Wyatt with him. In addition, Henry told them to be exceptionally discreet.Apart from the three, there was no one else. After all, with the strength of the three of them, they would not need to be afraid even if they met a few Grandmasters.As for the others, it would not have made a difference if Jensen had brought them along.Since Wyatt met Jensen, he realized that what Henry said earlier was true. After just a few months, they might not be able to beat him, but he mi
"Protect your young master?"With us here, what can happen to him?" Jess snorted coldly. "Besides, he's just a nobody. What kind of young master is he?"She deliberately provoked Jensen since she could not break through Henry to get any information. Jensen might be a loophole for her.As expected, when Jensen saw that the other party mocked Henry, he got angry and said, "My young master—""Jensen! Just forget it."Henry shook his head and said, "Why do you need to be calculative with a woman?"Jensen was very obedient and kept silent instantly.Henry's words were orders to him.That made Jess very angry. What did Henry mean by telling Jensen off for being calculative with a woman? It sounded as if she was overreacting and incompetent.No, she must not be angry. The angrier she got, the prouder he would be. She said coldly, "Forget it; I don't care. Besides, you can't be any good."Jensen remained silent, but a sharp glare flashed in his eyes.Jess was shocked. Jensen looked
James shook his head and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you? I don't know who he is, either. However, he's really powerful.""How powerful?" Jess asked curiously. There must be a reason why he would say that. She wanted to know the reason."How powerful? Do you remember the Seltzer family, one of the four major families in Hodbridge?" James asked in return."Of course, Uncle James. You've been plotting to take down the Seltzer family for a long time.""I've been plotting for a long time, but a family like the Seltzer family is not something I can handle. Even Secretary Meroy couldn't handle them. It was Mr. Truman who helped us.""No way! How did he help?""You don't need to know the details. Just remember, not only me, but even Secretary Meroy has to be polite when he sees him and even be respectful."James knew it was not suitable for him to tell all those details, but to prevent Jess from always targeting Henry, he revealed something about him to her.After all, he had a go
"Okay!"Jess did not ask further questions. She sent him away.She knew that Henry was too sneaky; she could not get anything out of him.Once they got outside, Jensen had already arranged a car to drive them."Young Master, where do you want to go now?" Jensen asked."Let's go to Paradise One."Henry took out his cell phone and called Lydia as he spoke. She should have regained consciousness since Jess delayed him for so long.As expected, she answered the call very quickly."Lydia, how are you? Are you alright?" Henry asked with concern."I'm fine. Don't worry.""Well, I won't go back then." Henry felt that his body was seriously injured, and he had to find a way to recover as soon as possible."Don't you want to come and see me?" Lydia's tone seemed surprised and dissatisfied.When she woke up, she thought it was Henry who saved her.However, she did not expect to learn that Henry had nothing to do with that. Instead, it was Peter, the person she did not wish to be invo
Henry could hear some unhappiness in Lydia's tone. However, he was frustrated, too. The most important thing for him at that moment was to restore his strength; he had no time to care about anything else.Those recent battles had caused great harm to him.If his injuries were minor, he would only need a few days of rest, and everything would naturally return to normal. However, he was unsure if he could even recover to his peak strength.Unless he could absorb Chansey's Nine Forces Vital Energy.However, he would never do that.He would never do such a thing, whether it was to protect Chansey's innocence or to avoid letting Lydia down.As such, Henry must not take everything that comes next lightly.Henry was very relaxed with Jensen's protection. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. For the past few days, he had rarely been able to get a comfortable rest.The car entered the mansion, and the two of them got out.Henry entered the mansion with Jensen following behind him.When
