After Henry said that, he gave Lydia one last glance and sighed quietly."Lydia, I'm sorry. I'm leaving now."Then, he walked away, unwilling to stay another second in that unbearable place."Henry!" Lydia shouted, panic rising in her voice.She tried to stop things from going south, but it was futile."You're all crazy! You don't even know what you're doing!"She tried to chase after him, but Jennifer stepped in front of her and grabbed her arm."What are you doing? You'd leave your family for a man? Lydia, if you step out of this house today, I'll end my life right here!""Do what you want!" Lydia was furious and tried to break free to follow Henry.She felt that her family had gone too far, and that was not the first time they had acted that way."Fine! You don't care about me anymore, right? I'll kill myself right now!"Jennifer released Lydia and went straight for the fruit knife on the table.She picked it up and held it against her neck."Jennifer!""Calm down, hon
John and Jennifer were on the same page; they thought Henry was simply too fearless.He had just walked out with a grand show of righteousness, yet he quickly sent someone acting as the head of the Truman family.That man might even have a specific request for Henry!If they wanted to be even more absurd, they might as well claim Henry was the Trumans' heir.Robert forced a smile, frustrated that his identity was being questioned.He tried to explain, "I think there might be some misunderstanding here. I'm indeed—""Enough!" Jennifer cut him off and said, "We've already seen through your little act, so stop pretending!"She continued mocking him. "If you weren't so old, I would've chased you out with a broom."Robert's face darkened, barely restraining himself from losing his temper.He had been a key figure in Aurelia City for years; everyone had always treated him with the utmost respect.Even those of the highest ranks had been courteous to him, and he had never felt so hu
Robert's entourage, especially his loyal man, Nightfall, had finally reached his limit.Nightfall could no longer contain his anger.Ignoring Robert's earlier instructions, he unleashed a powerful and intimidating aura, shouting, "How dare you! Sir Truman holds an esteemed position and won't tolerate such disrespect!"Jennifer and the others shuddered, obviously terrified by Nightfall's demeanor.However, Jennifer thought it was just a desperate move, a tactic she was all too familiar with.She thought they were trying to intimidate and regain control after being exposed!"Stop pretending! You're just a bunch of con artists. Are you threatening us? Do you want me to call the police and have you arrested?" Jennifer yelled back.John nodded. "The Millers aren't to be trifled with. I've been tolerant because of your age, but don't push your luck.""Nightfall!" Robert shouted.He could tell that Nightfall was on the verge of losing control and might actually resort to violence.I
"How? We've tried everything, but his martial arts skills are too good. We can't beat him," John said, shaking his head."That's because we haven't found anyone strong enough. I just heard from a friend about an incredibly powerful assassin organization," Jennifer replied."Assassins?" John's face paled, and he glanced around before whispering, "Are you talking about killing him?""We don't have any other choice! He's brought this upon himself," Jennifer replied heartlessly."Alright, but try not to kill him if possible. What's the name of this organization?""The Ghost Gate. I don't know much, but their leader, Damian Blackwood, is terrifyingly powerful. As long as the money's right, there's no one they can't eliminate.""Fine. Go and handle it," John said."Okay, I'll make the call now. For 1.5 million dollars, he won't survive the night."Jennifer immediately pulled her phone out to make the arrangements.Meanwhile, Richard was in shock."Is it true that Robert Truman is i
"What is it?" Henry asked."The Trumans' General Ivory Unicorn was ambushed and killed."Henry was stunned.General Ivory Unicorn was one of Aurelia's Four Divine Generals, with strength nearing that of a peak-stage Grandmaster."Are you sure?""Absolutely.""Who did it?""We don't know yet. The higher-ups are furious and have ordered General Cobalt Dragon to investigate thoroughly and hold those responsible accountable.""Yes, the death of General Ivory Unicorn is serious. It's not just a loss of a powerful force for Aurelia; it's a blatant act of disrespect toward the nation." Henry sighed.Although he was deeply resentful toward the Trumans, as it was likely they were the ones pursuing him, he needed more proof.Only by finding his mother could he understand the root of everything, especially why they had left the Trumans and what had happened to his father.Was she alive or dead?"I agree, Master!""Who do you think it could be?" Henry asked."I'm not sure, but our pe
"Silly girl, calm down. I wasn't ignoring you; my phone was out of battery. It's not even fully charged now, but I immediately called you back, " Henry said."Are you not upset with me?""No. Why would I be upset with you? It wasn't your fault," Henry replied, shaking his head."Don't worry about it. As long as your feelings for me are sincere, nothing and no one can come between us, not even a minor thing like this.""My feelings for you will never change," Lydia said softly, a bit embarrassed for being so forward.She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where are you right now?""I'm at Paradise One. Are you planning to come and make it up to me?" Henry teased.To Henry's surprise, Lydia replied, "They probably won't let me leave. Otherwise, I would go to you right now. But don't worry, I'll sort it out with them.""There's no need for that. Time will tell," Henry said, shaking his head."No way. I can't let them continue to misunderstand you.""Alright, it's up to you.
There was no denying Jennifer's efficiency.In less than half an hour, she had arranged everything.She had spent a whopping 1.5 million dollars!Jennifer could not help but wince at the amount, but her friend had assured her that even though Henry was skilled, 1.5 million dollars would be more than enough to take him down.After all, he was just an unknown nobody, not a major figure.However, just as they finished their task, someone came running in with urgent news.A convoy of cars had arrived at Miller Mansion's entrance, and a large group of people was waiting to get in.John and the others from the Millers were stunned, wondering what had happened.Why did so many people show up at their doorstep?"What's this about? Is this some scheme from Henry again?" Jennifer could not hold back her frustration."It must be. I have to say—the actors he hired are quite convincing," William commented."Let's check it out. If it's Henry's doing, we'll deal with them once and for all
As William recalled the documentary, he became more confident that Robert was indeed a high-ranking leader.Could that man really be the patriarch of the Trumans?"What? Are you serious?" John's face instantly paled.He began to realize he might have made an unforgivable mistake.If the man was indeed the reputable Robert Truman, they had severely insulted a highly respected individual!However, Jennifer was still puzzled. "What are you all talking about?""The..the man we called a fraud might actually be Sir Truman," William stammered."No way. If he were really Sir Truman, he wouldn't have been so courteous," Jennifer said, unwilling to accept the truth.It just did not seem possible.As he listened to the conversation, Richard pieced together what had happened.It seemed that when Robert visited, the Millers treated him like a con artist and threw him out.Furthermore, they were uncertain of his identity.Richard shook his head and took out his phone.Then, he found a r
