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
Jeffery listened and could not help but smile wryly. He had thought Henry was genuinely interested in Chansey and wanted to marry her."If you think it's inappropriate, I can come up with another plan," Henry said when he saw Jeffery's expression."No, I have no objections, but it depends on Chansey. I promised her I would never interfere in her personal matters again after the incident with the Chapman Legacy."As long as she's willing and happy, we have no objections," Jeffery said.Despite his words, Jeffery would still investigate any man Chansey was interested in, though he would not interfere as he might have in the past."I have no problem with it," Chansey said immediately."As long as it helps Henry, I'll do whatever it takes."The more willing Chansey was, the more uncomfortable Henry felt. Chansey was incredibly good to him, always giving without expecting anything in return. Ignoring her feelings was difficult for him.However, for the sake of his mother's safety, H
Henry frowned as he listened to their conversation. He understood their intentions well; he did not want to torment them.However, he felt he had no choice at the moment. He would not act that way if it were not to prevent Lydia from getting hurt.Soon, John and Jennifer arrived in the living hall. They were overwhelmed with emotions and wished they could move in immediately to experience the place.However, their priority was to deal with Henry.Meanwhile, Henry sat waiting for their arrival.When Jennifer saw him, she joyfully said, "Henry, you're here! We've put in so much effort to find you.""Oh, really? I've been living here all along!" Henry replied calmly."That's impossible! You criticize me daily, so you should know me well. How could you not know where I live?" Henry asked."Sorry for being ignorant previously. We're fam—""Hold on." Henry frowned and shook his head."Watch your words. We have nothing to do with each other now!""Yes, yes! I misspoke earlier. I wa
John spoke with a bitter tone, "I'm not here because you're the Master of Golden Liberty. I see now that you're the best match for Lydia."If you leave her, she won't be able to go on.""Yes, Henry, you can do anything you want to us. Please, save Lydia," Jennifer said quickly."I'm begging you too, Henry," William said.Henry felt conflicted. He might have felt more inclined to help if they had not said anything, but he grew agitated as he recalled their smug looks from earlier."Where was my chance before?" Henry asked."We were wrong, we—"Jennifer started to repeat her earlier pleas but with even more remorse."Enough!" Henry cut her off sharply.He then turned to John and said, "I accept your apologies. The past is forgiven."The Millers were overjoyed, especially Jennifer, who was visibly excited."But! I will not return to the Millers," Henry said firmly."Why not? Didn't you forgive us?" Jennifer panicked."Please don't take it out on Lydia.""I'm a man of my word
