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.
"Alright, that's it. I've got things to do," Henry said and hung up the phone.Winson put down his phone, staring blankly for a moment before his eyes lit up with excitement. He thought Henry was truly formidable.Not only did he not fear one of the most powerful supreme clans in the country, but he was also not afraid of the Divine General.Just as Henry hung up, his phone rang again. He answered reluctantly.To his surprise, an urgent voice came through."Dr. Truman, where are you? Something big has happened," Richard said."What's going on?" Henry asked, wondering if the Trumans had acted faster than he expected."A direct order came from Aurelia City. They want us to lock down the Miller Mansion. No one is to escape, especially you. They want to take you down," Richard quickly explained.The order had come without any explanation."Wow, that was fast," Henry muttered. He had not expected the Trumans to use local authorities against him."What do you mean? What on earth di
Richard called James, giving him a direct order."Apart from essential personnel, mobilize all the police and head to the Miller Mansion to assist General Truman in controlling the Millers and arresting Henry and Lydia."James was stunned, thinking he must have misheard. His previous superiors had told him to treat Henry well.However, they were then instructed to take Henry down. General Truman, who was stationed near Hodbridge and typically would not be mobilized easily, would also be involved.It had to be serious."Gather all your men and assist General Truman, but don't involve the passersby. Do you understand?""Understood!""And remember, don't harm anyone!" Richard said. Henry had allowed them to proceed but did not want things to get out of hand."Got it!" James hung up, preparing for a meeting. The turn of events truly took him aback. Seeing James's expression, Jess asked, "What's wrong?"James rubbed his temples and said, "Jess, here's your chance."It 's your op
James rolled his eyes reluctantly at Jess and said, "That's what we've been ordered to do. Just follow the instructions.""No, we're the police. We uphold justice. We can't comply with such an unreasonable order.""Fine, but did Henry hurt someone? If he did, shouldn't he be arrested?" James retorted.Since Jess was still dissatisfied, James said, "Besides, I'm asking you to assist. I'm not telling you to take action yourselves."Alright, it's settled. Everyone, get ready. We'll set off shortly."She was always so focused on justice that it was impossible to reason with her.Jess understood James' predicament, but she could not stand it. She knew about Peter because her cousin, Cindy Drayson, had mentioned him. He was a ruthless hypocrite who loved to play with women, and Cindy had always despised him. Yet Peter had pursued her persistently.However, Jess had only visited Aurelia City briefly and had not interacted much with Peter.It was clear that the instructions came from t
