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
That was definitely a cry for trouble.Garrett had never been so publicly insulted. He angrily said, "How dare you insult me, kid? I don't waste my time on nameless punks. State your name!""I'm Henry Truman, and I don't bother with nameless dogs either," Henry replied coldly.Henry did think people should be revered as sacred, given their role in protecting the country. Yet there they were, mobilizing so many to deal with Henry for the sake of Peter, which he found utterly disrespectful."You're courting death!" Garrett erupted in anger.However, he quickly calmed down and sneered, "So, you're here, Henry. You've saved me the trouble of hunting you down."He was not afraid of Henry's so-called martial arts. He believed Peter lost to Henry because his strength was accumulated based on external resources rather than his own cultivation.Peter likely exaggerated Henry's strength to cover up his embarrassing loss. Such a young man could not be a grandmaster.Garrett had never hear
Upon hearing Henry's question, Garrett's expression changed subtly. He had mobilized out of concern that dealing with Henry under normal circumstances might not suffice.Unfortunately, Brice was abroad on business and could only return after a few days. Otherwise, they would not have acted so hastily, and Garrett would not have led the charge.If Brice had intervened personally, there would be no room for error.However, Garrett reacted swiftly, stating coldly, "Nonsense! We're here today because we received orders from the higher-ups. The Millers harbor a highly dangerous fugitive who threatens our country's security anytime.""You claimed to arrest me for public assault. How did I suddenly turn into a threat to the country?"Will I be accused of threatening the world, endangering the universe in the next second?"Henry's tone dripped with sarcasm."Nonsense!" Garrett's expression remained icy."I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you. You'll spill everything once you'
