I Am The One Chapter 20 - The Dean of the Faculty of Arts
It was 8:00 p.m. at a restaurant in a corner of Waterside City."Even after a year abroad, I can never forget the taste of this dish!"With a spoon in her mouth, Hannah couldn't stop praising the delicious ratatouille in front of her.Unlike her appearance earlier in the day, when she wore a short-sleeved red cocktail dress, she now had a more casual yet captivating look."Of course! This restaurant is the only place that serves ratatouille with this unique combination of vegetables and sauce! You won't find this combination anywhere else."In contrast to Hannah, Henry ate his meal calmly.Although ratatouille could be found in many places, even abroad, this restaurant had its own special recipe that set it apart."By the way, did you hear the news about the art department at Fairfield College?" Hannah asked.Fairfield College was one of the six constituent campuses of Waterside University.Just as there were six boroughs in Waterside, there were six constituent campuses for this univ
I Am The One Chapter 21 - The Reason Behind the Photos
Thirty minutes earlier.In a private room of a luxurious restaurant, three young girls sat at a long table meant for ten people."What did you do? How did these photos get out?"A beautiful girl in an oversized t-shirt placed the last photo in a small oven on the side of the table.There was still a small flame burning from the top of the stove, and it was filled with the remains of the recently burned photo paper.As she said this, she took a sip of the strong drink in her other hand."Didn't I tell you that none of my private photos were ever supposed to get out?" she said as she took another drink.These were photos taken on Hallie's seventeenth birthday, almost a year ago.At that time, after a family gathering, Anayah and Hattie convinced Hallie to have a wild party and encouraged her to drink various types of alcohol until she got drunk.Due to the excessive drinking, Hallie felt too hot and unconsciously began to remove her clothes.At that moment, she was wearing only a thin b
I Am The One Chapter 22 - The Price of Fame
Despite her very weak and immobile body, Hallie could still hear everything they said.At that moment, tears streamed uncontrollably from both corners of her eyes.It was the first time the cold-hearted girl had ever cried.She had trusted these two girls almost like her own sisters, but they were just friends to exploit her.Even worse, they wanted to sell her to a rich man, not just a year ago, but even now."You two, what have I done to you? Why are you so heartless to me?"Hallie asked them, tears streaming weakly from the corners of her eyes."You ask me, what is your fault? Are you blind?"Slap!While pulling Hallie's hair, Anayah slapped her hard on the cheek."Every time we go somewhere, all eyes are on you and all praise is directed at you!Do you think we are lifeless objects without feelings?If you hadn't stolen all the attention, praise, and admiration, we certainly wouldn't have taken revenge on you!""But it's too late now!"Slap!Hattie said as she also slapped Hallie
I Am The One Chapter 23 - Where Shall I Take You?
Henry took off his jacket and wrapped it around Hallie's lower body.Since the girl was very drunk, Henry had no choice but to carry her.As they left the restaurant and walked along the sidewalk, everyone who saw them couldn't help but comment."Wow, that young man is really romantic! He's carrying his drunk girlfriend!""It's very hard to find a responsible young man like him these days! That girl is so lucky! She must have done a million good deeds in her past life!""They look so compatible! One is handsome and the other is very beautiful! May heaven bless them with many offspring!"Not only Henry, but Hallie heard these comments as well.She wrapped her arms around Henry's neck and was in his embrace, feeling unexpectedly comfortable and peaceful, a feeling she had never experienced from anyone before."My dear, listen to what people are saying! They're all praising us! You should feel lucky to have a girl as beautiful as me!"Hallie's face was flushed from the alcohol, so she co
I Am The One Chapter 24 - You Must Know This Is Our Last Meeting!
"Oh, I almost forgot something!" Harriette said.Carrying a bag and placing it on the table next to Hallie, she continued, "I just went shopping. I don't know what kind of clothes you like, but I'm sure this will fit you!""Auntie, why are you doing this? You shouldn't go out of your way for me!" Hallie said with a regretful and grateful expression at the same time.The cold expression that had been on her face for so long vanished without a trace. What was visible was the face of a young girl, full of care and charm."What are you saying?" Harriette said, holding Hallie's cheek lovingly. "You helped us pay for my husband's medical expenses, which I'm sure were very expensive! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to express my gratitude to you!"Harriette thought Hallie was Mr. Richardson's daughter. That's why, without Henry having to ask her, Harriette immediately treated Hallie very nicely.These words made Hallie furrow her brow. "I don't even know this family or have helped
I Am The One Chapter 25 - You Haven't Paid Yet!
Immediately after the group left, a message arrived on Henry's phone.Ding![All administrative matters have been taken care of; you will start working at Fairfield College next week!I can't help you anymore because I have to go back abroad.For the time being, if there's anything you need, please see Oliver! He will help you while I'm gone!]After reading the message, Henry went to Rainford College and packed all his belongings, mostly books and some antique items.Then he went to his apartment.Henry's apartment, which was actually Darcie's apartment, but Henry paid half of the monthly expenses, was on the third floor of a reasonably decent building.Henry climbed the stairs with a hint of uneasiness in his heart.They hadn't had a heart-to-heart since two days ago, when he'd caught the girl with another guy.Although Henry still harbored considerable anger and disappointment toward her, he wanted to end their relationship on good terms.After all, Darcie had been kind to him for t
I Am The One Chapter 26 - Magic Shadow
As soon as Henry entered the door of the apartment, he felt a negative aura pressing down on him, as if he were in a closed room filled with smoke.Not only did it feel unhealthy, but it also made it difficult for anyone inside to breathe.The next moment, Henry's ears caught the panicked voice of a young woman coming from one of the bedrooms."Mother, please wait a moment! I'll go buy the medicine," the young woman said as she placed a warm compress on Margret's forehead."Mia, hurry! I can't stand it anymore!""Wait, Mother! I'm leaving right now!"Before she left the room, Henry had entered.In front of him lay a woman who looked very old.With dark circles around her eyes, she looked ten or twenty years older than her actual age.When Henry had met her a month ago, she had a healthy and slightly plump body. But now, aside from the skin clinging to her body, there wasn't much fat left on her face and body."You...! Why are you here?" The young woman became very angry when she saw H
I Am The One Chapter 27 - The Drugstore
With a bottle in his hand, Henry hurried to a traditional medicine shop that the girl had pointed out."Follow the road next to this building for about 300 meters, then turn right to the end of the road! On the left side of the street you will see a shop with a strange appearance, that's the place!" Mia said earlier.Henry had turned to the right from the alley.As he was about to reach his destination, he half ran.About half a kilometer later, he saw an old shop on the left side of the street.At the top of the store was a sign that read "Traditional Medicine".As Henry opened the door, the sound of a bell rang above his head.The first thing he saw was a cash register filled with tightly sealed half-liter clay jars.There were 20 such jars in total.When he turned his head to the side, his eyes fell on wooden shelves filled with large glass jars.Inside these jars were plants, leaves, and roots of various kinds, soaked in liquid, each jar containing a different colored liquid than

Chapter 237 - The Ultimate Infinity
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! You'd b

Chapter 236 - The King of the Hell Returns
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!

Chapter 234 - Grand Emperor: The World Ruler
Henry did exactly what God Er asked of him."Aaa!"Quickly, God Athar then threw the black stone into Henry's mouth, causing his tongue to feel like it was burning as soon as the stone touched it.However, before he could think about what to do next, God Athar had already closed his mouth."Swallow!" the God said firmly.Not only did Henry feel the heat in his mouth, but his throat and stomach also felt the same unbearable heat.Although Henry was at the Celestial level, he couldn't withstand this excruciating sensation."Aaarggh!"The intense heat quickly spread throughout his body, making him feel like he was burning from the inside out.As a cultivator, he had never experienced cultivation as strong and terrible as this: it was the most torturous experience!After the heat reached every point in Henry's body, God Er looked towards God Athar."Now is the time!""Hmm!" Athar replied.They each held one of Henry's shoulders, channeling their energy.Athar channeled hot energy while Er

Chapter 233 - Born of People with a Very Super Rare Talent
"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

Chapter 232 - The King of Hell
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

Chapter 231 - The Golden Mountain
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
