At that point, everyone went to Jeffery, congratulating him.Jeffery replied modestly, saying that everything was just a rumor and that he still did not know the actual situation.The expressions on the faces of the Miller family looked horrible.John's face paled. Apart from feeling ashamed, he understood that the Miller family might have missed a great development opportunity.He regretted everything.Jennifer was even more distraught. She said angrily, "You, you..."She could not catch her breath and almost fainted on the spot.After recovering, she said, "No, it's not like that. The Master of Golden Liberty and my daughter just quarreled. His words at that time shouldn't be taken seriously. You must believe me."Why don't you give me the gifts first? If I can't get the Master of Golden Liberty here in one day, I'll return all of them to you."This is a great opportunity. Once you leave, you'll never have another chance to present the gifts. You'll miss a great opportunity.
John glared fiercely at Jennifer when he heard what she said. Even though his thoughts had changed significantly since he returned from Aurelia, which partly led to their situation, his daughter-in-law had offended Henry from the beginning.She wanted to get Henry back? Why did she not think about what she had done?Jennifer flinched under John's glare. She said, "Father, why are you glaring at me?""What? Don't you know why? If you had not targeted Henry, how would the situation have turned out like this?" John said coldly.Jennifer disagreed with that. She shouted, "What do you mean by saying I targeted Henry? Didn't you do it yourself? Lydia wouldn't have divorced Henry if you didn't set them up.""I set them up? Wasn't that your idea? What's wrong with you? Do you know who you are talking to?" John was angry. He was used to being the most prestigious one in the Miller family; he always had the final say.What happened that day? Everyone had gone against him."I—"Jennifer w
Jess immediately understood when she heard that Peter was done for.No matter how powerful Peter was or whether he was the heir of the Truman family, no one could save him after doing such a thing to Cindy.Cindy's grandfather was the current top-ranking person in Aurelia—General Cobalt Dragon, Tim Drayson.Peter had been pursuing Cindy and wanted to marry her to elevate his status further. However, Cindy always looked down on him.One time, after getting drunk, he raped Cindy.He had not been caught due to some stroke of luck or good cover-up.However, the truth eventually came out, exposing his terrible act.Tim, who had been living in seclusion for many years, returned, and when he learned about it, he was furious. He went to the Truman family and destroyed half of their property. No one could stop him.He also beat up Peter, who had already lost his vital energy, nearly to death.If it had not been for the sake of the Truman family and General Ivory Unicorn, Peter would ha
When the Millers learned the news, they were shocked again.There was no doubt that Peter must have done something terribly wrong to anger General Cobalt Dragon, the top-ranking person in Aurelia. Even Henry, the Master of Golden Liberty, was probably nothing to him.Many of Peter's subordinates were implicated, and the entire Truman family was partially ruined.If Lydia had gone to Aurelia with Peter, she might have been kicked out of the Truman family. She would no longer have power and could have been implicated and killed.In that case, the Miller family would have been completely destroyed.John and the rest were terrified when they thought of that.It was fortunate that God was looking after them.If it were not for God's care, they would have let Lydia follow Peter to Aurelia, and they would have been killed.Thank God.They had another critical matter at hand—they must find Henry.The best option was for Lydia to go in person. Henry would undoubtedly return if Lydia w
Even if Chansey had agreed, Henry would still have had to discuss it with Jeffery. After all, he was Chansey's father.Jeffery was stunned. Henry had told him to call him by his first name, indicating a desire to tighten their relationship.He was excited and about to speak when Henry frowned, sensing an extremely obscure presence approaching quickly.As expected, after just a short moment, an elderly man with a mask appeared. His figure was thin, and his movements light and agile, like those of a ghost.Jeffery's expression changed slightly. He had good fighting skills and could naturally feel the horror of the other party's strength. Even the invisible pressure made him feel breathless."It's you again!" Henry said coldly.The intruder was Damien Blackwood, the Master of Ghost Gate, who had been injured the previous time. Many people had died in that encounter, and Damien had been severely injured. It seemed that he had returned alone.He still had yet to settle the matter of
Jeffery started to feel nervous when he heard that. Who was that man? His title sounded impressive, and he spoke so arrogantly. Any of his subordinates could crush the Master of Golden Liberty?Even though Henry had told him to call him by his name, Jeffery still addressed him as Master of Golden Liberty out of habit, especially upon hearing that the other man was a peak-stage Grandmaster with terrifying strength.His daughter finally had the opportunity to be with Henry. Would the young man die so easily?Fortunately, he noticed that Henry was not nervous. Perhaps he already had some secret arrangements. Otherwise, how could he stay so calm?Henry looked calm as he said, "Sure, your strength is indeed very terrifying, but can you answer a question for me?""What question?" Damien sneered."You said that Severus ordered the arson in the orphanage. Did he give the instructions over the phone or in person? Are you sure it was him?" Henry asked.That was very important because it w
Why did Damien feel like a helpless child in front of Henry? He was being abused.Damien quickly took the opportunity to crawl up once Henry let go of his hand. He could not believe that he, a peak-stage Grandmaster, was so weak. It must have been an accident. He tried his best to attack again.However, in the next second, Damien was thrown to the ground again.After being hit a few times, Damien's internal organs were wholly displaced. Blood oozed from his mouth, and his body was completely bruised and broken.In the end, Henry kicked him hard in the chest.Argh!Damien shouted in extreme pain again and fell heavily onto the ground. He was unable to move at all.He was the Master of Ghost Gate, a peak-stage Grandmaster, but he was beaten badly with the simplest moves. He was utterly crushed.His body was severely injured, and he could not move at all.Even though his opponent's attacks were straightforward, the injuries Damien sustained were severe.It was terrifying that He
Damien could tell that Henry was serious about killing him, so he answered truthfully, "He—he instructed me personally.""Personally?""Yes, even though he wore a mask, his voice and build were unmistakable.""So, you've never seen his face?" Henry frowned."Yes, but I know him well. It was him. I'm sure of it.""How did he find you?""We knew each other from before. He came to me and asked me to get rid of you when you were in the orphanage. It had to be done discreetly, without leaving any traces," Damien explained."So you had the orphanage burned down?" Henry's expression turned icy."I—"Damien could not find any excuse."Just as I thought. You can die now," Henry said coldly, kicking Damien with deadly force."No, please!"It was too late for Damien to beg for mercy.Henry did not give Damien any room for explanation. Damien's actions against the orphanage were unforgivable, no matter what.Jeffery stood nearby, both shocked and nervous.From the powerful Seltzers
