"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
"I can't believe you'll say such heartless words."As Henry's voice came through, he appeared as well. He was furious, glaring coldly at the Millers. He had already had enough of them. They had not realized their mistakes and were even doubling down.Henry's appearance took Lydia aback. She was overwhelmed with emotion as Henry stood up for her. She almost wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry.John immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Henry, didn't I tell you to get lost? Why are you back?""I have to. Or else Lydia would've been sold off," Henry retorted coldly."Nonsense, I'm doing this for Lydia's good. You're the one dragging her down," John angrily countered."Stop being ignorant!" Henry snorted."Do you think sending Lydia to the Trumans will make Peter spare you?""What else can we do?" John shot back."There's another way! As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to Lydia," Henry declared coldly."I came back to save all of you.""Henry, stop p
"Well, I'm right here. Come and get me."Or perhaps you all want to come at once?" Henry's challenge caused Wayne's face to pale, and the others quickly shuffled back."Just kidding," they hastily explained.Henry snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with them.Meanwhile, Lydia asked, "Henry, is it true that the Trumans have already mobilized the military to come after us?"Everyone was shocked.Henry calmly answered, "Yes, and it's not only them. Mr. Miles has received orders, too. The police will probably be here soon."Everyone's faces paled. They had no idea how it could be happening so quickly.John could not believe it, but there was no point for Henry to lie to them.Wayne and the others said, "Um, take your time, John. Let us know if there's any plan. We'll go back and wait."They wanted to slip away quickly. They thought nothing would happen that day and wanted to discuss a plan with John. They would have to leave that night if things did not work out. Otherwise, P
Lydia quickly stepped forward and said, "Henry, if you leave now, they won't be able to catch you. Please, go."That startled the others, especially Jennifer, who immediately grew anxious and exclaimed, "No! If he leaves, who will take responsibility for this? He can't leave!""Yes, he's the main troublemaker in this whole affair. He mustn't leave.""No, he can't leave. We must stop him!""You hear that, Henry? You can't leave!" John said sternly.Henry chuckled lightly and said, "I heard you, but I'm still leaving. Who among you can stop me?"His words left everyone speechless, and John looked highly embarrassed, realizing they could do nothing."Hmph, a bunch of idiots!" Henry retorted."Why would I even show up here if I wanted to leave?"Henry's cold reprimand silenced everyone, leaving them awkward and embarrassed. Despite their embarrassed expressions, they felt relieved knowing Henry was there to stand up against that.However, Lydia grew anxious. She did not want to d
Upon hearing that, everyone from the Millers felt even more terrified. They would undoubtedly meet a grim fate if no one intervened and saved them.However, Henry smiled and replied, "So what?""What do you mean? Do you even realize the trouble you've caused?" Jess rolled her eyes helplessly."I do. The Trumans and the Ivory Unicorn—indeed, it's quite a mess," Henry acknowledged calmly."Then why are you so relaxed?" Jess shook her head."Although I dislike you, I support you in this matter."Would you like me to try to help you?" Her statement left everyone momentarily stunned.Everyone was initially puzzled by Jess seeking out Henry. They quickly deduced that the two must know each other.Also, they finally understood how Henry had gotten wind of the situation ahead of time.They had initially assumed Henry had some powerful connections to know in advance. That connection seemed to be an ordinary police officer.Yet, that seemingly ordinary officer claimed she could help.
As Jess left, the Millers fell into fear and despair once again, especially as heavily armed forces surrounded them within moments.The mansion was completely locked down, with no way out."Dad, what do we do now?" Jennifer was terrified as her face paled."We'll face the music. Luckily, Mike isn't here. Hopefully, he's safe," John said."Are we really going to die?" Jennifer was genuinely scared.She looked at Henry, who seemed calm and collected. Despite her doubts about him, she could not help but plead, "Henry, you've got to find a way to save us."People often underestimated Henry, but sometimes he could surprise them.Henry shook his head. Jennifer had always looked down on him, yet she had asked for his help."Are you kidding?""No, I'm serious.""Maybe I've wronged you in the past. But don't worry. If we can get through this, I'll support you and Lydia in getting back together," Jennifer said."Yeah, Henry, as long as we're safe, the Millers will support you two reun
