Before Zane opened the door, he looked at Henry.

"Someone is spying on us! Stay here! I'll take care of these little rats!"

Zane and the bodyguards entered the woods as he had instructed earlier.

As Zane got out of the car, Henry looked around but saw no one outside.

"Zane has sharp eyes! He should be a cultivator!"

A few moments later, shouts and the sound of empty-handed punches echoed from the woods next to them.

But it didn't last long.

In less than five minutes, Zane was back in the car.

"Who are they?" Henry asked.

Zane shook his head slowly.

"I don't know! I can't confirm their identities because they were all wearing masks! But I guess they are from the Williamson family!"

What?

The Williamson family?

Isn't that Hallie's family?

"Why are they attacking you? Do you have a feud with them?"

Zane buckled his seat belt and started the car.

"Don't you know?" He asked as he drove off.

Without waiting for Henry to answer, he continued.

"Benjamin, the head of the Williamson family, des

    Zane ordered his bodyguards to do a sweep of the area.After making sure that all the attackers were taken care of, he ordered two sedans to move forward while one sedan stayed behind.This way he could ensure Henry's safety in case of further attacks."Henry, if I may ask, are you having problems with them as well?""You mean the Williamson family?" Henry's brow furrowed at the question. "Why do you ask that?""Because it seems like they didn't come for me... they came for you!""What?" Henry exclaimed. "That's impossible!""How can you be so sure? You're a Cultivator, right? Maybe you have problems with one of their people!""I can assure you that's not the case, because I once helped a member of their family! So how could they target me?"Henry didn't explicitly mention that Hallie was the one he helped.The reason was simple.If Henry mentioned her name, Zane would realize that Hallie had been involved with someone other than her "official partner," and that would undoubtedly affe

    "You have to see for yourself! That's why Mr. Cloyd called you right away!"Seeing Zane's expression, Henry understood that the daughter of the Richardson family might not be well.After that, neither of them spoke.They were both lost in their own thoughts.Fifteen minutes later, the car had left the woods.It turned onto a smaller paved road with vast expanses of grassland on either side, dotted with an oak or two and a few other types of trees elsewhere.Although Henry had lived in Waterside for six years, he had never been to a place like this.Ten minutes later, a wall of rubble more than ten feet high stretched out in front of him.In the middle was a gate guarded by three or four guards.As soon as the gatekeepers saw the sedan convoy approaching, they immediately opened the automatic iron door.As Henry's car entered the gate tunnel, he could hear a guard on a walkie-talkie."Mr. Zane has arrived! Report to the Master immediately!"Elsewhere.After the mysterious assailants fa

    Upon hearing the sound, Cloyd rushed to the door and opened it himself.As the door swung open, a figure about 170 centimeters tall stood in front of him. Dressed in a black robe that covered him from top to bottom, the man's face was painted white, while the area around his eyelids was painted black, and his eyeballs appeared bloodshot.With such an appearance, anyone who saw him would feel a bit of fear in their hearts."Master Dalbs, it is an honor for me that you are willing to come to me!" Cloyd greeted.Seeing how much he respected the guest, Henry understood that he should step back for a moment and let the strange old man take over."Who is he?" he asked Zane."His name is Orin Dalbs! He is a very famous traditional healer in the capital!When Miss Isabella was in a coma for a week, Mrs. Naomi wanted to take her to him for treatment, but you managed to heal Miss Isabella then!""Has he been here before?" Henry asked again."Of course not! He is a great person, worshipped by ma

    Not only did Isabella seem unafraid of him, as she had shown before.The girl even seems to desire Orin now!Smiling sweetly at the old man, Isabella struck a very sensual pose with her body."Do you miss me as much as I miss you? Come to me now!"Moving her index finger in a very flirtatious gesture, Isabella invited Orin to come closer to her, like a girl who has not seen her lover for a long time."Hahaha!" Orin shouted with joy in his heart. "The Medusa Poison is indeed very effective! This potion has never let me down!" he said, looking at the remaining green liquid in the bottle in his right hand.Someone hearing the name of the potion for the first time might think it's a deadly poison.Unfortunately, that's a misconception.On the contrary, Medusa poison is a very powerful love potion.If you apply even a little to any part of a woman's body, she will become someone who longs for the caresses and loving care of a man.Not only that, but this potion will also reveal the deepest

    "Henry, since the first time I met you, I have trusted you! So I hope you won't ruin it!""Of course, Mr. Cloyd! I always stand by what I say! I am even willing to guarantee it with my own life if I lie or endanger Miss Isabella's safety!"After hearing Henry's sincerity, Cloyd finally made a decision."All right, everyone, follow me!"Hesitantly, the head of the Richardson family approached the door.Knock! Knock!"Master, are you all right?"But there was no answer from inside.Cloyd was a little worried. "Should I abandon my plan?" he wondered.Aware that the man was hesitating, Henry looked at him seriously and nodded to assure him that everything was all right.Cloyd put his hand on the door and knocked harder."Master, forgive me! Is everything okay?"As before, after a few seconds of waiting, there was still no response from inside.This time, Cloyd was worried.Not only was he worried that something might have gone wrong with Orin's treatment, but he was even more worried abou

    With these words, Henry stared straight into Cloyd's face.Although Cloyd didn't want Henry to go too far with his guest, he reluctantly accepted the young man's challenge.For the sake of his daughter, he would do anything."Master, as Henry said, I will give you anything you want!" Cloyd bowed again, sincerely pleading for his daughter's recovery.Seeing this, a cunning light shone from Orin's face."I did not expect that my visit this time would bring such great benefits! This family is truly foolish, allowing me to manipulate them so easily!"He then looked at Henry and continued to speak in his heart. "But I can't let this rat live much longer, or he might cause me trouble later!"Orin closed his eyes and raised his face, pretending to be deep in thought."Cloyd, you made a big mistake by disobeying my orders! However, since you show a strong intention to rectify it, I will give you one more chance!"He opened his eyes and stared sharply at Cloyd, "Give me 1 billion dollars and l

    Despite trying to choose his words carefully, Cloyd couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.He had hoped that this young man could help him persuade Master Dalbs to cure his daughter.Instead, he made the only person who could help his daughter leave.Before this, Cloyd had great faith in Henry.However, Orin, a renowned master healer, had gained recognition throughout the country over the years. How could Henry, a mere college professor, compare?Not only did Cloyd's faith in Henry begin to wane, but he felt a giant hammer strike his heart as he thought about his daughter's condition."Forgive me, my love! This is all my fault! I should have been able to protect you better!" he cried in his heart.While everyone else was drowning in sadness, Henry felt both joy and guilt.Joy, because he could finally get the old fraud out of the house.Guilt, however, for letting everyone sink into sadness and despair."Even Zane, who seemed so strong and resilient, looks like he has no hope!

  • I Am The One   Chapter 39 - Because I Am A Sorcerer As Well!

    Orin couldn't finish his words.What was happening in front of him was truly beyond his expectations.The Four Corners Illusion Spell is a protective spell placed at the four corners of a person or object.With this spell, anyone with malicious intentions towards the person or object will believe that they control or possess it.When in fact they only control it in their minds.When Orin ordered everyone to leave earlier, suspicion arose in Henry's heart."This is really strange! Why did he ask everyone to leave? If he really wants to heal Miss Isabella, couldn't he do it without all this drama?"So to protect Isabella, Henry pretended to tidy up the girl's bedsheets when he was actually casting his spell."Why? Are you surprised?" Henry grinned slyly."I can do it because I am a sorcerer too!"Just as Henry finished his words, Orin pulled a flat object out of his pocket and pointed it at Henry.Snap!The sound of a camera shutter from his phone was heard at the same time as the light

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!

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

    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
