Lahat ng Kabanata ng Hidden Monarch: The Silent Resurgence: Kabanata 1441 - Kabanata 1450

As long as Mia was alive, it was unlikely the bomb would be triggered."You're stalling for time and hoping one of your men will take care of mine, right?" Mia asked calmly.Her words gave the passengers a small glimmer of hope, but Mia quickly dashed it with her next sentence. "Unfortunately, it's a wasted effort. You won't succeed, and it may even cause something terrible.""Oh, really?" Henry was unimpressed. He was intentionally buying time and did not mind dragging out the conversation.Mia smirked. "Let me break it down for you. First, besides the beautiful woman by your side, you didn't bring anyone else on this flight. Second, even if you have someone, my accomplice is securely in the cockpit, and no one can get inside."Henry chuckled softly. "So, I was right.""Even if you were, it wouldn't change anything. My accomplice is perfectly safe in the cockpit. And just so you know, he's an early-stage Grandmaster. Only Earthly Immortal could take him down."But there aren't

Despite Grace's frantic protests, the crowd paid her no mind. They had tried begging, and it had not worked. As for confronting Mia, they were too scared to even think about it, fearing that the instant they knelt, she might decide to start killing.At the same time, Henry received a message from Herwig via the transmission technique, who informed him that he would soon be able to break into the cockpit. Once that was done, everything would be under his control.Martha was in a dilemma as she considered the situation. Even though she was reluctant, she realized that sacrificing herself might be the only way to obtain the pendant.More importantly, despite Henry's rude request, she did not dislike him. His behavior was understandable, given his feelings for her. That made his request seem reasonable.She finally spoke up, cold but determined, "Are you sure you'll give me the pendant and ensure everyone's safety?"Henry was momentarily taken aback. Would she agree? That would certai

Emily noticed the situation and was immediately infuriated, ready to get up and intervene. However, Henry quickly stopped her. "It's fine. It was my fault anyway!"Everyone was momentarily stunned, but no one mocked Henry. If a single slap were the price to get that close to such a goddess, most would happily volunteer for it multiple times.Even Mia found the situation amusing. She had to admit that Henry was quite the charmer, and it was no surprise that such stunning women surrounded him. What amazed her more was that none of those women seemed jealous. Emily even seemed to blame Martha for not cooperating enough to satisfy Henry.Soon enough, Mia's attention shifted to Henry as she prepared to ask for the jade pendant. However, in that instant, Martha struck a sword toward her face with a fierce killing intent.Everyone was shocked. Especially Mindy, who was frozen in terror—Martha had attacked Mia! That was not just reckless; it could lead to all of their deaths. After all, no

Emily's bold remarks left Martha completely stunned. She had intended to insult her, but Emily seemed to take pride in what she said as if it were something to boast about."Alright, that's enough," Henry said with a helpless smile.He turned to Martha and said, "Ms. Philips, Emily likes to joke around. Don't take her too seriously."As for my age, there's no harm in telling you—I'm in my late 20s. I hope that clears things up."Martha blinked in surprise, unable to believe Henry was only in his late 20s—they were about the same age.How was that even possible?She was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy with access to immense resources, and even with all that, advancing to Earthly Immortal in less than 10 or 20 years of cultivation was a far-off goal. How could Henry have possibly achieved that?"You're not lying to me, are you?" Martha asked skeptically."I'm not. Besides, it's easy enough to verify. You can check for yourself if you want," Henry replied, confused by how fixated s

At that moment, Garrett stepped forward to deflect attention from his father's darker past. "No point to argue that now. We need someone capable and decisive to lead us out of this mess. You should step down.""That's right. The Trumans need a capable leader. Please step down, Robert!""Step down!""Step down!"Everyone present echoed in agreement."Are all of you out of your mind?" Standing beside Robert, Cedric looked in utter disbelief at the sea of supporters. Cedric was from one of the few powerful Truman branches still loyal to Robert."You're old, Father, and you're no longer fit to lead the family. Let Severus take the reins. I believe we will rise again under his leadership," a cold voice said. It was Kylie Truman, standing with an impassive expression."Kylie, you—" Robert was momentarily stunned.Kylie had always been close to Albert and possessed extraordinary talent, though not as impressive as Albert's. Robert thought she would help him fight against Severus' betr
