"No rush."Although you're strong now, you're still not powerful enough to break into the Ghost Gate by yourself." Henry shook his head. Jensen was only an early-stage Grandmaster.Even if he exerted his full strength, he could only handle the strength of a peak-level mid-stage Grandmaster. He would get into trouble if he were to meet a late-stage Grandmaster. Furthermore, the Ghost Gate was different from ordinary places; it had many traps set around it."What should we do now?" Jensen asked."We shall wait and observe. However, since the Master of Ghost Gate gave the order to take action against me, it's obvious that he's suspicious about my identity. Once he notices his men's failure to return, the next person he sends will be even stronger," Henry said."What should we do? How's your injury?" As Henry did not deliberately hide his injuries, Jensen noticed them too."It's not a big deal. If I don't wish to die, they can't do anything to me," Henry said.However, when he thoug
The Miller family was well prepared; even the drug was ready.It was a powerful drug that John had obtained through his connections. Even a cow would go crazy after consuming that drug. No matter how powerful Henry's fighting skills or body strength, he would still be drugged.At about 6:00 p.m., Henry returned home. However, he did not see Lydia when he entered. He saw Maeve, whom he had saved earlier.Maeve's dress that day was a little different from before. She wore a white shirt, which fully showed off her chest, which was spectacular and amazing. She wore a black short skirt—it was really short.Her outfit fully revealed her proud figure, especially her slender waist, which was so alluring that no one could bear it. Her long legs were also very slim and fair.Henry felt a little weird. Why would she be wearing that at home? However, she would attract the attention of many men; he could not help but take a closer look at her."Henry, you're here."Maeve greeted him happily,
However, Henry could not activate his vital energy at that moment. Hence, he could not stop himself from getting drunk, so he had to take it easier.After some casual banter, John picked up his wine glass and said, "Henry, we must thank you again! If it weren't for you, Lydia would be over."Come, let's drink.""You are welcome, Grandpa Miller."John was so polite that Henry could not be rude. He reluctantly picked up the wine glass again and had no choice but to gulp down the wine.The problem was that William wanted a drink after Henry had drunk with John. Although Henry did not like him, he was still Lydia's father and his father-in-law.Henry had to drink another glass of wine.Jennifer was next. Henry thought that it was just one round. Given his own alcohol tolerance, what he drank was nothing to him.So, he took another drink.After they were done, Maeve raised her glass and said, "Henry, I would like to toast you too. If it weren't for you, I would still be bullied by
After three mugs of wine, Henry almost vomited. His body was a little shaky. Fortunately, they stopped asking him to continue drinking.When he saw everything was almost ready, John immediately gave a signal with his eyes.Maeve stood up immediately. She stepped forward and held Henry's arm with both hands, saying, "Henry, let me help you go back to the room to rest."Henry had indeed drunk a little too much. Obviously intoxicated, he replied, "No, I can walk by myself.""It's fine. Let me help you back to the room."Under Maeve's initiative, Henry reluctantly allowed her to assist him toward the room. However, as she supported him, she pressed her body against his, especially his arm, letting him touch parts of her body he should not have touched.That roused Henry, his body reacting in ways he tried to suppress, even though his stimulated brain was functioning differently.Maeve also felt Henry's unusual behavior; her face flushed. She had never done that before, but she neede
However, giving Maeve to Henry would be a waste. They were kind enough not to kill him. How could they let him have Maeve? That would be a bargain for him. Therefore, Jennifer replied, "He went to rest in the room.""Rest?"Lydia was stunned; she felt something was not right.John glared at Jennifer. They did not have much time; what if they had not done anything yet?However, a moment passed, and Maeve had not come out after entering the room, so something must have happened.John said, "Henry had a few drinks with me. His alcohol tolerance was rather poor today. He got drunk and went to bed.""Yes, that's right. Don't worry. He even asked Maeve to take him back to the room to sleep. He should be in good hands now," Jennifer said."What do you mean? He asked Maeve to take him back to the room?"Lydia was puzzled. She looked around and asked, "Where is Maeve then?""Oh, right, why hasn't Maeve come out yet? Are they still inside?" William asked in surprise."Ah, I'm a little
"Henry, get the hell out here right now, you fucking idiot!"Jennifer yelled angrily and quickly went after her daughter. Then John saw Lydia return with a face full of sorrow and pain. He pretended not to know and asked, "What happened, Lydia? What's going on?"Jennifer hurried back and shouted angrily, "That damned Henry! How could he do such a thing to Lydia and with Maeve no less?""What?!" William was shocked and furious. "Are you saying Henry is in there with Maeve?"Jennifer nodded."How dare he do this to my daughter?! I'll kill him!" William was enraged."Enough!" John stopped William. "Calm down. Let's get the facts straight first. Jennifer, are you sure?""Yes!" Jennifer replied angrily. "This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't been here. No wonder Henry got drunk so easily; it was all on purpose.""And what about Maeve?" John asked with concern."I don't know. But she was pinned down by Henry. She's weak. How could she have fought back?"Jennifer fumed. "I've al
No one could fight that grandmaster. Henry had just risked his life to save the Millers but was trapped by them. Lydia would also not trust him at all again.Henry felt exhausted.However, he still held onto a sliver of hope. He ignored the Millers and asked, "Lydia, if I told you I was drugged today, would you believe me?""Drugged?""What are you trying to say? Are you accusing us of drugging you?" Jennifer got agitated immediately."Stop making baseless accusations," John said coldly."I've treated you well, yet you dare to slander us!"Do you think I would do such a thing, Lydia?""Yes, Lydia, you know how much I care for Maeve. I would never let her suffer like this. She's always been obedient and close to you. She wouldn't lie about this. Let's ask her.""No need!" Lydia cut in firmly."Henry, stop trying to sow discord between us. My parents might do so, but not Grandpa. And Maeve would never do something like this."And you've been involved with other women more than
In the following time, no one spoke to Henry, except for John, who asked if he had all his documents on him.Henry kept all his important documents with him since he had a unique space that others did not have.Lydia stayed with John and did not say a word to Henry. Jennifer went inside to be with Maeve, who came out shortly after.Maeve glanced at Henry, who happened to look at her. Her expression trembled, but thankfully, Henry did not ask any questions.Even though Jennifer had repeatedly instructed her, Maeve feared she might have revealed the truth if questioned.Maeve walked over to Lydia and called her softly.Lydia glanced at her coldly and did not say a word.Maeve felt guilty and regretful. However, it was too late to back out then. She could not afford to lose all the effort if Lydia refused to marry into the Trumans in Aurelia.About an hour later, several staff members from the Civil Affairs Bureau arrived with the necessary equipment and materials. As they entered
