Lydia hesitated. She was a high achiever with a degree in finance, and she had also been in charge of the Miller Group's finance department for several years, so she was not easily fooled.She had her doubts when things seemed too good to be true."What's the matter, Lydia? Don't you believe me?""Yes, Lydia. What are you thinking? Lewis has done so much for you. We wouldn't have inside information about this deal if it weren't for you.""That's right, Lydia. I did it all for you," Lewis said.Even John was convinced by Lewis. He knew from experience that the Brandon Group was a reputable company and had a bright future.It seemed that Lewis had sacrificed a lot for Lydia. It would be a shame to miss such a rare opportunity."Lydia, what is stopping you? Are you afraid to accept this offer because it comes from Lewis?"Think of how much Lewis has done for you. Yesterday, when he heard that you were being bullied, he went straight to the hospital and avenged you. He destroyed Ha
Everyone understood and respected Lydia's decision. They took comfort in the fact that a month would pass before they knew it, so they did not press the issue."As for the investment, I don't have much money, and I need to discuss this matter with the other shareholders."Lydia made an excuse. The Miller Group's shareholders were mainly her grandfather's friends, and they usually supported her decisions. It was usually easy for her to convince them. She liked to do her research thoroughly before making a decision.Lewis could see through Lydia's excuse, but there was little he could do except cross his fingers. He lamented helplessly. "What a shame. I would have to give the chance away to someone else.""Lydia, what are you thinking? How could you pass this up?""Father, you have the final say in the company's affairs. Is it impossible for us to fork out the money?" Jennifer asked urgently."I've been away from the company for a long time. It's best if we leave the decision to Ly
Everyone mocked Henry, and John did nothing to stop them.Henry shook his head and sighed. "Anyway, I've told you all the facts. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."Henry turned around and left the mansion.John sighed. He had kindly offered to invest ten million for Henry, and he felt hurt that his good intention was not appreciated."Grandpa Miller, are you putting in ten million?" Lewis asked."Well, even though he doesn't appreciate my good intentions, I'm going to put in ten million on Henry's behalf," John sighed. He owed the old divine doctor a favor, and the money to guarantee Henry's comfortable future was a good way of repaying it."Grandpa Miller, you are too generous!" Lewis exclaimed in admiration. "Alright, that's 90 million in total. We have the last ten million. Sarah, do you want to go for it?"Sarah froze. She would love to, and she would have been able to do so in the past. Sarah no longer had any fat savings, but she vowed to accumulate the ten
"I hope you can always be this happy. Don't cry when your money is gone." Henry was annoyed."It has nothing to do with you. I have money and don't mind being cheated. Unlike you, a bum who has nothing and is stalking my daughter."Henry laughed. He did not want to argue with Jennifer. He headed out in giant strides, refusing to stay longer in that place.On his way out, he ran into Sarah.Sarah spotted Henry and quickly adjusted her clothes to put on her best look. She then approached Henry and said softly, "Hi, Henry!"She wanted to call him dear but feared it would be too friendly.Henry was taken aback. 'What has got into this woman? Why the sudden change of attitude? She does look charming like this.'"Yeah?" Henry replied."Nothing. I just want you to know that I believe in you, even when everyone else doesn't," Sarah said."Did you say you believe in me?"Henry thought it was a joke. The woman before him was the one who had never missed an opportunity to put him down i
Henry froze momentarily before asking cautiously, "Grandpa Juan, you're not telling me to go and compete with him, are you?""Not really. It's just that Mandez has always looked down on those from Aurelia, and I have no idea what he will say today. I hope you can step in and teach him a lesson if he puts us down.Jimmy was not interested in world rankings, but he would not take kindly to anyone humiliating his country."I understand. Please give me the time and address. I'll be there tonight." Henry agreed to be at the recital."Okay!"Jimmy gave Henry the information and assured him he would be added to the list of invitees. Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief when he ended the call. He was confident that Henry would be able to handle Mandez easily if he were to cause a scene at the event. Good thing he had spoken to Henry. Otherwise, he would have no idea that Henry was in Hodbridge.Jimmy thought very highly of Henry and considered him a legendary pianist.Time flew, and soon it
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi were very common vehicle brands. It would not be too noticeable, and the driving experience was great.Henry had been in the dealership for a while, but none of the salespeople had greeted him. He noticed four pretty saleswomen in short skirts sitting around the corner, chatting happily. They had seen him, but none thought he was a worthy customer.Henry shook his head in disappointment and turned to leave.Just as he was about to leave, a thin woman with a pretty face and big round eyes approached him and nervously asked, "Hello, sir, are you shopping for a car?""Yes."Henry nodded and took a quick glance at the woman speaking with him. Strangely, he found her familiar. The other ladies sneered at their colleague, assuming she was desperate for a sale."Look at her! She is very hardworking, but what a shame that her efforts will go to waste.""Of course. She hasn't got a clue, has she? She keeps approaching the wrong people, and that's why she hasn
Caroline and the others were shocked to hear Henry's answer. They froze, looking at the card Henry had taken out to make the payment.Caroline sprang into action and poured Henry a glass of water. She wore a big smile on her face when she said, "Hello, Henry. I heard you wanted to buy an S680?""That's right!" Henry said."You have such refined taste. This car is the symbol of wealth and power. People will see you wherever you go as wealthy and influential."My colleague, Cheryl, only joined the company about two weeks ago. She doesn't know much about cars at all. A customer like you deserves the highest quality of service. Please allow me, the sales manager, to help you with your inquiry.""No need. I'm happy with Cheryl's service.""But she doesn't know anything. Besides, as a manager, I can give you the biggest discount percentage!"Caroline handed Henry a glass of water as she spoke, even deliberately rubbing Henry's hand.Henry could read her like a book. He took the water
"Are you sure? I won't come back once I'm out of here, even if you try to make me," Henry said coldly."Did you say I will get you to come back? Who do you think you are?"I'll get the security guards if you don't leave immediately," Caroline said.Mr. Yates was shocked as he looked at Henry in disbelief. His facial expression changed when he realized Henry was holding the Everising Platinum Card, which he had only seen in a photograph but never the actual card."Wait a minute!"As Henry headed for the exit, Mr. Yates asked politely, "Sir, may I see the card you are holding?"The onlookers were stunned when Henry casually tossed the card in Mr. Yates's direction.Mr. Yates was startled but managed to catch the card. After looking closely at it, he realized it looked the same as the one he had seen in the photograph. His face paled as he realized he might be in trouble, and he said to Henry, "Sir, please wait a moment!"Mr. Yates walked away quickly.The rest were stunned, some
At that point, everything there was over.After everyone dispersed, Shane laughed as he stepped forward. "Henry, you gave me a big surprise this time."I thought you'd need at least five years to catch up to them. I didn't expect you to have achieved such strength. This is entirely beyond my imagination."May I ask what level of strength you are at now?"Shane was curious.Henry shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know it. There's no one to compare with."I only know that if I use my full strength, I can destroy a city with one single wave of my sword."Everyone was utterly stunned, and they murmured helplessly, "Pervert!"Shane was speechless. He shook his head. "Young man, you really amazed me. By the way, when are you getting engaged? Don't delay for too long; I don't have much time left."He was delighted with Henry and was hoping to be able to attend their wedding.Henry smiled and said, "Elder Master Drayson, have you forgotten what I said yesterday? I'll help you re
Henry's domineering words made the people of Aurelia excited.They were so enthusiastic that they had to express their excitement.However, they were confused when Henry ordered them to launch the missiles.What did Henry mean? Why did Henry order the launching of the missiles? Everyone was curious.Everyone else was dumbfounded, too. What order was that?Everyone had doubts in their mind.At the same time, the person at the missile base was sweating profusely. He had to execute the order under any circumstances, and he was so nervous that he could not help but reconfirm the order again.Frederick nodded. He had looked into the matter personally to ensure everything was in place without error.If he had not seen Henry's extraordinary strength with his own eyes, he would not have believed that Henry had planned everything. He had even met with Frederick earlier in the morning and made the request.Henry wanted to show how powerful he was in deterring anyone from creating unnece
There were words of praise, excitement, and admiration in Aurelia.In their opinion, Henry was Aurelia's protector.In other places, people were amazed and fearful of Henry's strength.Henry did not care about that. He remembered that there were many troublemakers earlier.In a deep voice, he said, "I heard that over these past few days, many looked down on Aurelia's battling skills because no one was here to deal with them."In that case, I'll let them see how powerful Aurelia's battling skills are. There's no need to trouble those masters who are in seclusion. Those present today can do the same job."Step forward, Jensen."Jensen was stunned. When he heard Henry's order, he quickly gathered his thoughts. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Truman."Jensen was a powerful master trained by Henry. His terrifying aura was clearly displayed at that moment.In an instant, the whole world could feel his strong force. The powerful force gathered in the air made ever
Henry waved his right hand. Jorge flew out of the platform and landed near the few Islehaveners beside their ambassador.Henry had sent Jorge back to them.Next, it would be Lucifer's turn.The audience looked at Henry with admiration and were shocked.Shane and the others who supported Henry were really excited. Earlier, they had thought Aurelia would face a big crisis. They did not expect Henry to solve the matter so easily.Although Lucifer had yet to make a move, it was impossible for Lucifer to defeat Henry so easily."Lucifer, you're up," Henry said.Everyone's heart trembled.The crowd was familiar with Lucifer. He became famous after the battle the day before.It was obvious that Lucifer was much stronger than Jorge. Most importantly, he represented the powerful Westin.Lucifer snorted coldly. He stepped forward and spread his fourteen wings. He looked overpowering and extremely terrifying.The huge pressure created by the wings made everyone feel breathless.Howeve
Jorge's expression looked horrible. He had already taken the first step. Everything would go in vain if he were to give up.So, he got up, knelt in front of Henry again, and shouted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"Slap, slap!Another few heavy slaps on him.Jorge was utterly stunned; he was also shocked and angry."Your voice is too loud. It's disturbing," Henry said.At that moment, any fool would know Henry did it intentionally. He deliberately played tricks on Jorge.That made the Islehaveners feel even more ashamed.An ambassador of Islehaven who was watching the battle stepped forward and said, "Stop! Stop! You're destroying—""Get lost," Henry snorted coldly and waved his right hand.Even though the ambassador was a few hundred meters away, he immediately felt a massive pain in his chest. He flew backward about ten meters away and fainted as he landed on the ground.He was then dragged away.Everyone was shocked.Jorge's expression looked extremely ugly. The pain on his c
Henry's voice contained powerful mental pressure. He controlled it so well that it only targeted Jorge."No!" Jorge gritted his teeth and roared. The power around him gathered crazily, forming a huge and terrifying force he was trying to resist.Everyone was shocked when they saw that.A huge tornado formed above Jorge's head, and a powerful force burst out crazily. Once again, he displayed his amazing and terrifying strength.The overwhelming pressure shocked everyone.Everyone in the country saw that. They were extremely excited. "I knew it. Jorge was only fooling with him. He's showing his real strength now.""That's right. He's finally fighting back. He must teach that guy a cruel lesson."They were all excited. However, their excitement disappeared the next moment, and their expression looked horrible.At that moment, Henry, with a disdainful look, raised his right hand and pressed on the tornado lightly.The terrifying force on Jorge dissipated completely in an instant.
"He's my idol, too!""Mine, too.""Stop pretending. Weren't you arrogant and proud earlier? Keep it going."At that moment, the people of Aurelia cheered, both online and those who were there. Everyone who knew Henry and was close to him was also extremely excited.In contrast, the faces of the people of Islehaven looked ugly; they could not believe what they had seen.They saw Jorge as powerful as God. How could he be crushed? He was even slapped in public, equivalent to a slap on everyone's face. They were furious."Cheater! He must be cheating!""That is a conspiracy. It must be a conspiracy!""Jorge, did you hold back? You wanted them to be happy first and then would beat them out of their asses later?""Get up! Show them how powerful the people of Islehaven are."Similarly, the reaction of the people from the Westin countries was not good either. Everyone was shocked.Some were amazed at Henry's power.Of course, many other countries expressed their support for Aurelia
Jorge frowned when Henry walked up to the platform. He realized he did not manage to sense Henry's strength and power at all.There were only two possibilities. The first was that Henry was so much stronger than himself that Jorge could not sense his strength. Jorge had already managed to sense Shane and Lucifer's strength.Henry could not be much stronger than the two of them.The other possibility was that Henry had learned a secret technique to conceal his strength.If Jorge did not guess wrongly, it should be the latter.'Trying to scare me with that hideous trick?'Jorge sneered and said disdainfully, "Henry, you coward. Are you finally willing to come forward now? I thought you were going to stay hidden forever."Henry smiled, but his smile was a little cold. He said, "Hide? Since when do I need to hide? About half a month ago, you and your master, Lucifer, had to flee from Aurelia. Have you forgotten about that?""Nonsense!"Jorge was furious when he heard that. First,
"I do hope there are stronger masters today; at least let me warm up a little. Otherwise, it'll be really boring for me."Also, I won't be holding back today. Life and death are not considerations once we're on the platform. I'd like to see if anyone in Aurelia isn't afraid of death."As soon as he said that, many people commented again. Many people were thinking about Henry, whom Jorge had mentioned, but Henry had yet to appear.Many Aurelian masters were furious when they heard Jorge's words and were about to rush to the platform.Flynn stepped forward and was about to go up onto the platform.However, Henry took the lead and went to the platform.Manish, standing next to him, was stunned for a moment. He was the strongest master among the several Worship Masters. Manish was stronger than Albus, but he did not stop Henry.Albus specifically instructed him to arrange for Flynn to join the fight first. Even though he would not be able to defeat Jorge, at least he could exhaust t
