After listening to Sami and his daughter, Hayden, whether he liked it or not, felt the need to control himself.

The urge to kill, which had reached its limit, suddenly seemed to be restrained by a rational thought.

"Is what they say true?" he thought.

Hayden was also curious if the strange youth before him could live up to his expectations.

He had sought out many archaeologists and experts in ancient artifacts, but none of them had any knowledge of the Puzzling Cube.

Most of them had never even heard of it.

"Where did you learn the name of this box?" one of the experts asked when Hayden mentioned that the mysterious box in front of them was the Puzzling Cube.

The Puzzling Cube was a mysterious box that Hayden had searched for as a gift for his late wife, Zelda Lane.

Ten years ago.

"My dear, I brought diamonds and some rare gems! I brought all this as a birthday present for you," Hayden said one night as he returned with a box in both hands full of various types of jewelry.

    Back to the present.After taking a deep breath, Hayden lowered his gun."Are you sure about this?" he said, his eyes shifting from Libby to Sami."Of course, Dad! Henry can recognize the cube with just one glance!" Libby reassured."So how could he not know about it?" she said again, without even looking at Henry, as if completely convinced of the young man's abilities."All right, if that's what you think! I'll give him a chance!"Hayden then slipped his pistol into the back pocket of his jacket.Looking back into his daughter's eyes, he spoke again."But if he can't do anything, as the experts have shown so far, then my decision is clear: He will only get death in return!"With that last sentence, Hayden turned and walked away.Soon all of his bodyguards followed him.From behind, Libby spoke loudly to her father, "Of course! I'm sure Henry won't let you down!"When everyone had left, Libby was still standing."Miss, let's go! What are you waiting for?" Henry said.Since Libby no l

    After most of the cars had left, Henry started the car and followed them.That way, he wouldn't have to keep asking Libby for directions later.Just then, Libby looked at Henry through the car's front mirror.She wanted to say something.But when she saw the serious look on the young man's face, she refrained from speaking.Suddenly..."Miss, have you ever heard of the ancient kingdom of Fairfield?" Henry asked, his eyes fixed on the car in front of him.Hearing the question, Libby opened her mouth wide without making a sound."I was just about to discuss it with you!" she exclaimed, her eyes twinkling as she looked at him.Turning his head briefly to the side and then back to the road ahead, Henry chuckled softly. "Really?""Yes, I greatly admire this ancient kingdom!" She continued.She then talked about her deep interest in everything related to this ancient kingdom, revealing that she had spent most of her life researching its history and artifacts."If King Barnabus hadn't wanted

    After several cars passed through the gate in front of him, Henry nonchalantly drove his car to follow them.As he was about to pass the gate, a guard who had been very polite to Hayden earlier stared in his direction.Suspicion and a hint of displeasure were clearly visible on his face.Although it was obvious that Henry's black car had a special Lane family license plate, the guard seemed indifferent."Stop!" he said firmly, pointing his right hand at Henry.The guard then nodded to several cars behind Henry, instructing them to go through first.Watching the bodyguards pay their respects to this guard, Henry knew that he must be one of Hayden's trusted men.When all the cars were gone, the guard gestured for Henry to get out of his car.This, of course, disturbed Libby a bit.Her anger began to fill her chest."Why is he being disrespectful?" the girl exclaimed.She tried to get out of the car, but Henry immediately stopped her."Miss, it's okay! He's just doing his job!""No! This

    After Henry released both his hands from Thad's grip, the old man immediately turned his body backward, emitting a powerful killing aura towards Sami."How dare you attack me from behind! I'll kill you!" shouted the old man.This time, Thad directed his fists towards Sami.Bang!With Sami's power level higher than Thad's, the young man should have easily avoided or even blocked this attack.However, somehow, when his palm blocked the punch, it felt like a tremendous force, even greater than his own inner strength.The impact caused Sami to step back two steps."What! Why did Mr. Peaton's strength suddenly become so powerful?" he thought with surprise.When Thad stopped Henry's car earlier, Sami quietly observed them."Miss Lane should show enough respect to Mr. Peaton, shouldn't she?" he muttered."If he hits Henry, what will Miss Lane do to him?" he thought. "It seems like an exciting show is about to begin!"Initially, he was curious about what would happen if the old man was allowe

    Seeing what happened to Sami, Libby quickly got out of the car and walked towards him."How are you?" she asked with a worried expression on her face.She wanted to help the man get up from the ground, but she knew she shouldn't do it."Don't worry, Miss! I'm fine!" he said.Sami exerted his inner strength towards his chest to alleviate the pain.Henry then approached him and helped him stand by supporting his shoulders."Thank you for your help!" said Sami.At this moment, his view of Henry began to change.He knew that the professor seemed to have become much stronger than when he first met him a few days ago.But it wasn't just admiration.Sami couldn't believe that Henry would be willing to help him after what he had done to him."Don't think too much about it!" said Henry. "You better call some people here!"Sami nodded.He took out his phone and called some bodyguards.Soon, thirty sturdy and large individuals in black suits arrived at the gate."All of you, take Mr. Peaton to t

    "What?"For some reason, getting a question like that, Henry suddenly shifted his gaze to Libby's face.Under the cool white light of the lamp posts, Libby's face looked increasingly charming.This girl had a very gentle temperament with a warm and forgiving personality.At this moment, Henry could do nothing but gaze at that beautiful face with admiration in his heart.Libby was a perfect girl.Her super beautiful face radiated a cheerful and calm aura, making anyone who looked at her not only feel amazed but also empathetic.Moreover, even though Henry was surrounded by beautiful women like Mia, Isabella, and Hannah, Libby's unique beauty still stood out!Therefore, in Henry's eyes, there was not a single Waterside man who would not call her beautiful."Why are you silent?"Libby asked again shyly.Although she had been watching Henry stay silent since earlier, the girl knew that from the way Henry looked at her face, the answer could already be guessed."Do you think I'm not beauti

    "He's an amazing psychic!" Libby continued. "Not only can he sense the presence of spiritual beings in a place, but he can even communicate with them!"Henry listened to Libby's explanation as they both followed the group of people in front of them.The group walked to the corner of Manor Lane before turning onto a path next to the manor house.It was bordered on the right and left by green grass that ran alongside the manor.This path took them behind the mansion, where people could see the beach about two hundred meters away.Meanwhile, the path ended at a large and tall building, every corner of which was closely guarded by bodyguards in black suits with weapons in their hands.There were no less than ten guards at the front alone, two on each side of the door."They say he can communicate with the spirit of a dead person who has been gone for centuries!"That's what Libby said before the group finally arrived in front of the big building.Seeing the arrival of the group, the two g

    Hayden said with a proud look on his face.After decades, he could finally show his collection to others in person.Hayden then walked to the center of the room and approached one of the glass cases.This case was over a square foot, larger than any of the other cases in the room."This is the Exotic Stone, our most valuable collection!" Hayden exclaimed, pointing his hand at the jar containing a beautiful necklace."We spent nearly three years creating this high quality piece, making it the longest necklace we have ever made!" he continued.Although it was made of only one type of gemstone, diamonds, there were nearly 100 shapes of them, including round, princess, and marquise, which were then assembled into a beautiful bib necklace.No one knew exactly how much the jewelry cost.But given the composition of the diamonds and the complexity and beauty of the design, no jewelry expert dared bet that the necklace would cost less than a billion dollars, making it one of the most expensiv

    Boom!A massive explosion occurred again elsewhere.Boom!Boom!These explosions originated from the collision of two super-high energies, energies capable of destroying the earth.Each time an explosion occurred in one place, a hole no less significant than the hole caused by the comet collision would be created.This continued until it was impossible for anyone in the Avaloria to stay alive.Within a radius of a thousand kilometers, everyone and every other living creature would perish.Buildings would crumble too.Boom!Boom!Boom!It only lasted for ten seconds. But the destructive effects it produced were truly terrifying!"Not bad! It seems like your power has indeed increased significantly compared to before!"Although Noagi's words sounded like praise for Henry, the professor understood it was a hidden mockery.It was like the King of Hell was saying that even though Henry had increased in strength, it still wasn't enough to defeat the King of Hell."You talk too much!

    Seeing his elite troops easily defeated by Henry, Neldor's anger became unbearable."You insolent! How dare you disrupt my life! I will not let you go!"After saying that, Neldor exerted all his strength and quickly teleported towards Henry.Puff!A moment later, he arrived in front of the youth in golden armor."You will die, you troublemaker!"Neldor swung his fist towards Henry's face.Punch!However, before his fist could hit the professor's face, Neldor felt something strange in his body.It couldn't move!"Damn! What's happening to my body?"Neldor then exerted his magical power, thinking that it would surely counterbalance his opponent's magical strength.But nothing changed.Not only did his body remain immobile, but more surprisingly, Henry seemed completely unaffected by his magical techniques."Damn! This is really damn! What kind of technique are you using?" Neldor exclaimed.Henry just smiled slightly."How could someone like you ever accept the fact that there's always a

    After gazing satisfied at his troops and people, Neldor lifted the golden crown adorned with diamonds of various sizes and shapes, then directed it towards his head.However, before he could put it on, a giant fireball suddenly appeared in the sky.It was a burning comet heading directly towards them at high speed."Whoa, look up! Look at that!" exclaimed the people in the courtyard. "We need to get out of here right now!"In an instant, the joy they showed turned into panic and fear.The fear of terror was evident in all their eyes.If they didn't flee from the place immediately, the fireball would surely strike them."Danger! This is danger! Quickly leave this place! Go away now!""The people in the courtyard became very scared and panicked, rushing to leave the place right away.However, since Neldor hadn't completed his final procession, which was to wear the crown on his head, he gave Etjun a displeased look."No one is allowed to leave before I finish this procession!

    "Neldor, your greatest obstacle has now perished!"The King of the Hell teleported swiftly, even faster than the blink of an eye, then stood before Neldor who was still kneeling on the ground."There is no longer anyone on this earth who possesses Celestial-level power, except for you!"After saying so, the King of Hell looked towards the crack beneath the altar and then made a gesture of lifting his hand upward, as if pulling something.Simultaneously with his hand movement, the crack in the ground widened gradually, causing the earth to shake violently again.Shortly after, one side of the ground collapsed, revealing the belly of the earth filled with lava and sparks of fire, emitting a terrifying orange color.Tramp-tramp-tramp!The earth rumbled again.But this time not because of the tremors, but because of the foot soldiers emerging from the belly of the earth.One by one, they wore tightly enclosed steel armor from head to toe, numbering a thousand.The group of soldiers consis

    After Neldor spoke like that, the earth shook violently, causing the monster and Henry to stop their speech and look around.Henry showed a worried expression on his face.His intuition seemed to tell him that something very... very bad was about to happen."Why is this?" he thought. "Why do I feel like my plan won't succeed?"Henry had hoped that by Neldor offering the King of the Hell a carcass as a sacrifice, the monster would suffer a bad fate.But now, he wasn't sure about it."Foolish, why didn't I consider it before?" Henry thought. "Neldor is the offspring of the King of Hell! Even if he does wrong, the king will surely forgive him!"Henry's expression grew even worse.On the contrary, Neldor showed something different.His face continued to show a happy expression with a wider smile on his lips."Hahaha! Finally! The King of Hell! You've come! You've come!"The shaking became stronger for a moment, causing the altar filled with pools of blood to suddenly crack.The longer the

    Henry is on his way to the Golden Mountain. With his current level of strength, he does not need Avisuchus to escort him. Even though he is only using ten percent of his inner power, Henry can run very fast, even tens of times faster than a tiger, without feeling tired at all. "No doubt about it!" he thought to himself. "Neldor must be heading there!" Henry knew the monster's destination after observing King Barnabus's wrist. There was a black mark on the king's wrist, as if it had been clamped by a hard object for a very long time. However, it was impossible. Why would King Barnabus torture himself by pinching his own wrist until his skin was severely damaged and scarred? In Henry's judgment, there was only one answer to that. "King Barnabus wants to resurrect Neldor and prepare the gold and jewels to welcome him!" muttered Henry, breaking through the trees, leaping from branch to branch. Unfortunately, the king did not have enough power because only a cultivator at level t

    Chapter 230 - Searching for a Clue

    Henry and Dritrix returned to the ruins of the ancient Fairfield Palace to search for clues as to where Neldor had taken Gatrix. After clearing some debris, Henry spotted a door leading to an underground chamber. "This is the door we went through earlier to retrieve the black box!" the girl exclaimed. Before Henry's arrival, the Laomen had taken Libby to show them the way to this place. The two of them then entered the door and walked through an underground corridor with walls made entirely of stone. Oil lamps had been lit on either side after hundreds of years of disuse. They walked for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at a very large room. With a size almost as large as a basketball court, the room didn't seem to be dark because of the abundance of light from the oil lamps. In the middle of the room was a black painted wooden coffin. The surface of this coffin was decorated with carvings of symbols and ancient scriptures. Driven by curiosity, Henry ignored other

    Chapter 229 - An Ancient Artifact

    Although the shape of the building was a bit unique, it was no different from any other ancient building. Apart from a few moss-covered stone walls, there was nothing special about it. However, Henry could sense a very strong magical energy, especially from the inside of the building. "Why did those scoundrels from Laomen imprison the girls here?" he muttered, thinking that with such strong magic, it wasn't safe for the girls to stay inside. "If anything happens to them, I won't forgive that sect! Even if I owe Makana a debt!" After feeling that there was no danger around him, Henry slowly stepped into the front entrance, the only access to the building, which strangely had no door leaves. However, if someone looked inside, they wouldn't be able to see anything because it was very dark. Of course, that wasn't a problem for Henry. His eyes could now see in the darkness almost as well as when he looked into the light. As soon as Henry walked through the door, the scent of fragr
