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
Lydia was stunned when she heard Jennifer's words."Yes, Henry said he had forgiven us but refused to come home. Your parents took it upon themselves to kneel and slap their own faces. Henry has been avoiding and trying to stop them. It's the same for me," John quickly explained further.They were afraid of displeasing Henry.Lydia's heart lightened as her grandfather vouched for Henry.After all, it made total sense—Henry was always kind, and he had sacrificed so much for her."Lydia, it's good you're here. Please talk to Henry. He clearly loves you, but he wants to marry Chansey," Jennifer pleaded.Lydia was taken aback. She felt sad. "Henry, is that true?"Henry was helpless. After a long pause, he nodded. "Yes, in three days, I'm marrying Chansey.""What—what did you say?" Lydia's face turned pale; she almost collapsed.Henry resisted the urge to reach out and support her."Say it again." Lydia's delicate, pale face looked heartbreakingly pitiable.Even Henry, with his s
Henry vanished from where he stood as soon as the others left.Seeing Lydia in so much pain had torn at his heart, making it hard to breathe. Yet, he could not say a word, or he would violate the agreement with the mysterious person. It would be too easy for the person to notice his transgression.Lydia cried as she returned to her car. She could not hold back her sobs. Her cries were heart-wrenching.Perhaps Lydia had cried for too long, and Henry moved too fast. He was already nearby when she got to her car and saw her state. He was even faster than John and the others, who had only appeared on the scene.Lydia tried to control her emotions when she saw her parents before she drove off. It was clear she did not want to speak with them.John and the others wanted to persuade Lydia to make peace with Henry. They hurriedly called her, but she did not answer and soon turned off her phone.Jennifer was frantic as she said, "What if Lydia does something drastic? Then we'll lose our c
Lydia sat in her car for a long while, lost in thought, before finally stepping out and walking into the hotel. Memories of that fateful day filled her mind, but she could not recall the room number since she had not booked it herself. However, the date was etched in her memory.She had no idea what she intended to do; perhaps she was just avoiding going home. Lydia approached the reception and asked about the room Henry had booked under his name on that particular day.The receptionist hesitated, as customer information was confidential, but Lydia pulled out 1,500 dollars in cash.Fortunately, Henry had used his real name for the reservation. Otherwise, she might not have found it."Room 1006," the receptionist finally said."Is the room still available?" Lydia inquired."It is," the receptionist replied, puzzled about what that stunningly beautiful woman was up to. It did not seem like a typical cheating spouse scenario."I'm taking the room tonight.""Of course!"The recept
Henry was slightly taken aback by Lydia's reaction; she thought she was dreaming.As Lydia started to cry again, Henry tried to comfort her. "Don't cry. I'm here with you regardless.""You're lying. You'll be gone when the dream ends," Lydia said."I'm not. I worried about you and followed you to the hotel," Henry explained.Lydia opened her eyes and looked at Henry, feeling real. She pinched his face.Henry could not help but laugh and asked, "Did it feel good to pinch my face?""You're real!" Lydia finally realized it."How am I not?" Henry said."I told you, I got worried and followed you here. I arrived in the hotel room before you and waited."Henry knew she would come up when she asked for the room number, so he quickly reached the room before her.With his abilities, entering a hotel room without a key was no problem.However, Lydia's expression quickly turned cold as she asked, "You're about to marry Chansey. Why are you here then?"Henry was confused by Lydia's sud
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
