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
Jennifer slapped herself hard across the face.It sounded painful. Her cheeks were swollen.She then signaled William to do the same.William was helpless but slapped himself, his face contorting in pain.Henry could not bear to watch any longer. He could not let that continue even though he had stepped aside to avoid them kneeling before him. With a wave of his hand, a gentle force pushed Jennifer and William down, preventing them from kneeling further."What are you two doing?" Henry exclaimed in frustration."I told you; I've already forgiven you two. You don't need to do this.""No, Henry." Jennifer insisted through her tears."You haven't. You'd come back with us if you did."John sighed and said, "Henry, do you want me to kneel before you too? Name whatever you want. Just don't blame Lydia."John began to kneel in front of Henry, given that he realized Henry would not let them kneel for long.Henry moved quickly to stop him, but a clear, urgent voice called out, "Don't
Severus could not provoke Tim, but surely he could deal with the Master of Golden Liberty, right?He finally understood Peter had crossed Henry, the Master of Golden Liberty.Severus had wondered how a young grandmaster would appear out of nowhere. However, knowing it was the Master of Golden Liberty made perfect sense.As far as he knew, a new Master of Golden Liberty's strength should be, at most, a mid-stage grandmaster, which meant he was no match for Brice. The only reason they held back from dealing with Henry was his master, the Elder Master of Golden Liberty, whose strength was unfathomable.Severus thought the Golden Liberty would not go to war over a deceased member like Henry.Peter was miserable; Severus had to do something.Severus, his eyes filled with icy resolve, reached for his phone to contact Brice, who was abroad.Robert Truman entered when his call went unanswered, noticing Severus's fierce expression."Who are you calling?" Robert asked."Uncle!" Severus
As Lydia's voice rang out, she hurried over. She would not allow her grandfather to kneel before Henry.She then noticed her parents sitting on the ground, leaning against each other. Her mother's face was swollen and red from the continuous slaps, and her father's face also bore the red marks of slaps.Lydia's exhausted face turned even paler. It was clear that Henry was likely responsible for that.Despite knowing her parents' past actions were extremely hurtful—actions even she could not tolerate—they were still her parents.She thought the kneeling might have been their choice, but those slaps were most likely Henry's doing.Lydia lifted her tear-filled eyes to look at Henry, struggling with her emotions.She had planned to face Henry alone to understand his sudden change.However, she realized that her family had gone to Henry's place on their own before her.Before leaving, John instructed their maid to inform Lydia about their whereabouts; he knew Lydia had always been H
