Peter's life would be ruined if his energy field was crippled, especially if he was from a family like Trumans. He would suffer endless humiliation.John panicked and shouted urgently, "Henry, don't do this! Young Master Truman is not an ordinary person; you can't do this to him!"Henry glanced at him indifferently and said, "I might've shown my respect and listened to your advice in the past. But now, we have no relationship. Why should I listen to you?""Yes. But for Lydia's sake, I'm begging you. Please don't harm Young Master Truman. Otherwise, the Millers will be doomed!""That's not my problem."Don't worry about Lydia. I'll make sure she's safe."Henry did not even look up, completely ignoring John. John might have commanded some respect from him in the past, but not anymore.Peter was terrified and pleaded repeatedly, "No, don't do this!"John is right. You can't do this. The Trumans will come after you if you hurt me.""Do you think I'm afraid of the Trumans?" Henry s
Lydia stared blankly at the powerful Henry in front of her. All her fears and despair seemed to vanish, and even her resentment diminished significantly.What remained was happiness and admiration.She had done enough for the Millers. Besides, she was powerless to help her family anymore. All the troubles were due to their desire anyway.As Henry glanced at Peter, who pleaded so pitifully, he felt a pang of sympathy.After all, they were related.Then, he remembered Peter's jealousy toward him since childhood, his actions that day, and the countless grievances Lydia had suffered because of him. Henry rejected any trace of pity and said coldly, "It would've saved you a lot of trouble if you acted like this earlier. Do you have to be so despicable?""Yes, yes, I won't do it again. I promise," Peter said, sensing a slight chance of mercy."I swear.""Alright, it's good that you have such awareness. I'll only break one of your legs, but your energy field will still be crippled," He
Chuck was momentarily stunned when he saw Henry crippled Peter."Young Master!" he shouted in shock and anger before fainting.Mike and Maeve were left speechless. They believed what they had just witnessed.Lydia watched everything unfold with a bitter smile.'Oh, Henry! Henry, you've stirred up a storm this time. But it's okay. I'll be there for you in the afterlife,' she thought.She was certain that Henry was doomed; it was just a matter of time. Naturally, she would share the same fate.Perhaps that was the best outcome; she would prefer to die over following Peter to Aurelia City.'It's over! We're finished!' Jennifer glared at Henry as if she could kill Henry there and then.She cursed, "Henry, you bastard! You bring misfortune! Why drag us down with you?"We might've wronged you, but you didn't have to be so ruthless!""Henry, I've never misjudged anyone. But I was wrong about you this time!" John was livid, his face flushed with rage.Amidst his pain and despair, Pe
Henry never admired the Trumans, especially after he learned from Damien that Severus might have arranged the arson at the orphanage. His disgust for the Trumans deepened immensely.So, there would be no way for him to treat Peter any better.However, his actions were truly insane in the eyes of others. The Trumans were one of the most prestigious supreme clans in Aurelia City.Moreover, Brice, the Ivory Unicorn, was a Truman. For someone like Henry to look down on such a powerful family seemed absurd.John and Jennifer cursed Henry inwardly for his arrogance, thinking Henry was asking for death. Even Lydia felt that Henry was prepared to die. Saying anything good was useless; it was better to talk tough.Peter, on the other hand, burst out in laughter. He laughed maniacally again, filled with pain and resentment."Henry, you're ignorant! You'll pay for this.""I'm waiting for that!" Henry replied.Henry released a powerful force that pulled Chuck toward him. Although Chuck had
Peter's gaze turned venomous, glaring at Lydia when he heard her consider using himself as a hostage.He felt he had given Lydia so much care and assistance, but she treated him like that for Henry's sake.In the next second, a fierce pain surged through his cheek, and he was sent flying. Chuck, beside him, had been too late to stop Henry."What are you glaring at? My woman isn't someone you can bully," Henry said coldly.He then turned to Lydia with a smile, as if he were a completely different person, and said, "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of them. Let him go back.""But—""Don't worry about it. The Trumans might be formidable for all of you, but they mean nothing to me."Lydia felt helpless.Even though she trusted Henry, it was hard to believe he could completely disregard the Trumans.Despite his venomous gaze, Peter had calmed down after a period of despair. As long as he was alive, there might be a chance for him to recover his shattered energy field, although no one ha
Everyone dispersed after Peter left. They were scared of getting caught up in any trouble if they stayed. After all, the Trumans were terrifyingly powerful.The Millers' relatives glanced at John and hurriedly walked away.They could do nothing; it was all up to John.John and Jennifer looked pale and worried. Not only was their dream of climbing the social ladder gone, but a huge crisis was looming.They had no idea how much time they had left.The Trumans would not even need to act directly. They could instruct their connections in Hodbridge, and someone else would crush the Millers.Lydia was also troubled. The only joy she felt was when she first heard Henry was Little Beggar. Even though she did not want him to appear that day, she was still happy when he did.On the other hand, Henry smiled calmly and asked, "I've already got rid of him. Why the long faces?"Lydia gave Henry a look and was about to speak when Jennifer angrily walked over and scolded, "How dare you! You've
Lydia's face turned even more distressed. She looked helplessly at Henry.Henry nodded and turned to leave. He planned to wait for Lydia outside to tell her he could handle the Trumans.However, just as Lydia was about to follow Henry, John said coldly, "Are you going with him? Don't forget—you two have nothing to do with each other now."Unless you want to abandon your family!"Those words made Lydia stop. After all, she still cared deeply for her family, even though her parents had treated her poorly time and again.Henry noticed Lydia had not followed him. He thought about calling her later.As soon as he got into his car, Maeve sneaked in.Henry asked in surprise, "Did John let you out?""I sneaked out. Can you really handle the Trumans? How will you do it?" Maeve asked eagerly."Of course I can," Henry said."I will tell them that I'm the Master of Golden Liberty. The Golden Liberty can definitely stand up to the Trumans or at least be on equal footing with them.""Real
Initially, Lydia felt a twinge of guilt. However, when she heard Jennifer's words, she said angrily, "What's that, Mom? Do you even care about me?"Jennifer got even angrier and said, "What do you think? I've raised you and educated you well. You wouldn't have achieved what you did without me."Instead of being grateful, you're turning against me and ruining our family."Lydia was so furious. She did not want to argue anymore and got up to leave.She could not care anymore.Maeve followed suit; she thought Jennifer had crossed the line.Then, Jennifer said, "Dad, I know you care about Lydia, and we do too. But look at her now."The only chance we have is for her to apologize to Peter, and we'll have a slim chance. Otherwise, we're doomed."John had a headache. He shook his head and said, "Let me think about it."Meanwhile, Henry left.Given what he did, he expected the Trumans' retaliation soon. When the day arrived, the Millers would realize he was not afraid of the Trumans.
