At 2:00 in the morning.

When Henry arrived at his apartment, he packed some clothes.

He didn't bring all his things because he wanted to go to Fairfield right away.

"No one will notice me if I leave now!"

Henry locked the apartment door and put the key in an envelope, leaving it outside Margret's apartment door.

With his suitcase in hand, he boarded the bus that would take him to Fairfield.

After more than an hour, the bus began to enter the Fairfield area.

"No wonder Fairfield is the richest in Waterside! Even early in the morning like this, this city is still very lively!"

In addition to the cars still moving on the streets, several nightclubs in some corners of the city were crowded with visitors.

Their voices, combined with the thumping music played by the disc jockey, could be heard for hundreds of feet.

Seeing this, Henry, who had initially thought of renting a hotel room, changed his mind.

"Didn't Margret give me a business card? Maybe I should go there right away!"

    For the next two hours, Henry cleaned the entire apartment: the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen, and the backyard.He also cleaned out the refrigerator and took out some food like vegetables, chicken, and eggs that were still usable.After cleaning all these ingredients, Henry turned on the stove and started cooking.In fact, Henry had a talent for cooking, a skill he inherited from his mother, as Harriett told him.As a result, the delicious aroma of stir-fry filled the kitchen in an instant.At that moment, Mia, still asleep in bed, suddenly felt disturbed by the tantalizing smell wafting into her nostrils.Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Mia woke up and stared into the kitchen."This food smells amazing! Who's cooking in the kitchen?"But before she could get off the couch, she was surprised again.Looking down at her body, she was still covered by a thick blanket, something she had never received in her life, except from her mother or her late father."Really?

    In the next fifteen minutes, they found themselves in a supermarket not far from Mia's apartment.Mia grabbed a shopping cart and pulled Henry toward the grocery section.The girl's first destination was the cereal aisle.As she picked out different kinds of cereal from the shelves, Mia glanced to her right and left from time to time, as if to make sure no one was watching."Are you okay?" Henry asked."Yes, I'm fine, of course!"She then walked over to the refrigerator, which contained several kinds of meat.She chose several kinds and took some pieces of beef and chicken out of the glass case and placed them in the cart.Once again, she went through the same routine of looking around to make sure the surroundings were safe.Since leaving the house, the girl had suddenly become quiet, and Henry, curious about her constant scanning, teased her."Don't tell me you don't have any money on you! Honestly, if someone sees what you're doing, they'll think you're about to commit theft."Henr

    Two months ago.In one of the luxury hotels on the edge of Fairfield City.That night, Mia sat at one of the dining tables in the hotel restaurant.She happened to be waiting for a client who had called her earlier that morning.As a banking advisor, it was her job to explain and recommend the best loan system a prospective customer could get from a bank.The man was interested in getting a loan from the bank where she worked.Wanting more explanation, he invited Mia to the hotel to discuss it.While waiting, Mia checked her work on her phone.Just then, she heard a man's baritone voice from next to her."Hello, sorry to be late! I don't know if I should blame the traffic or if I should have left earlier!"A tall man in a Hawaiian shirt and long pants appeared in front of her."You must be Mr. Kobi Graham, right? No need to feel uncomfortable! I just arrived too!" Mia replied, trying to be as friendly as possible to her potential client."Thank goodness if that's the case!" Kobi said

    Kobi approached Mia slowly, as if he did not want to enjoy the gift he had received too quickly.At the same time, as the man approached, Mia felt a growing fear in her heart.At this moment, there was no one she could ask for help.But for some reason, her mind suddenly recalled the figure of a young man she had just met."Henry, please come! If you save me, I promise to let you stay in my house!" she whispered in her mind.At the same time, Kobi moved half a meter closer.Seeing this, Mia spoke again in her thoughts. "You don't have to pay me rent either, and you don't have to cook for me!"Kobi approached again, reducing the distance between them to just one meter.Mia closed her eyes and murmured to herself, "I also promise that I won't get angry with you again!"But all she felt was a rough touch on her shoulder."My love, just by holding you from the outside, I can feel the softness of your body!" Kobi said.Feeling such a touch, Mia's body trembled with fear."Alright! I will l

    Back to the present."Oh, so you already found out what I did to them?" Kobi asked Henry, turning his head to Mia. "Did that girl tell you?""Say, is she your girlfriend?" Kobi grinned again. "She's really beautiful and very hot, and I can't wait to make love to her in front of you!"With a calm and seemingly unaffected face, Henry responded with a contemptuous grin."Don't change the subject!I ask you, do you feel remorse in your heart?Have you ever thought about the women you've taken advantage of?How they have to live their lives after what you've done to them?"Hearing such questions, Kobi burst out laughing."Hahaha! You're really stupid! What kind of question is that? What's the point of thinking about people like them?"At that moment, Henry's expression changed.His face, which had been calm all along, began to radiate a very strong aura of killing intent."Looks like you have a new lesson to learn!"Standing upright, Henry lifted his right leg and thrust it downward.Crack

    Sitting on the floor, folding both of his legs, Henry endured the burning sensation in his back and closed his eyes.After a few seconds, he managed to focus his mind and reopened the ancient notes stored in his mind."When a cultivator feels such intense heat in the tailbone area, it is a great and rare opportunity for a breakthrough.At that moment, there are only two choices: eliminate the heat or endure it to the limit."After reading the explanation, Henry made a decision."I will try the second way!"Slowly, Henry directed his inner energy to the back of his body.When it almost touched his spine, the heat he felt increased exponentially."Damn! This feels too hot!"Henry thought it might be too much for him at the moment.But just as he was about to give up, he remembered the potential danger that awaited him."The group of mages might attack me soon! If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I'll get it again! And by then, it might be too late!"Strengthening his resolve,

    From Mia's room, Henry saw one of the masked individuals holding the still unconscious beautiful girl with his left hand.Meanwhile, he held a sharp knife in his right hand and placed it right in front of Mia's neck.From the voice and posture, the masked person was indeed a woman."I'm sure you can decide what to do now," the masked woman said again."Fine! I'll listen to you!" Henry raised both hands, signaling for the masked woman to calm down.Ever since he first saw this woman, Henry knew that she was a cultivator.However, when he saw her cultivation energy level, he felt somewhat relieved because her power was far below his own.Therefore, he shouldn't have any trouble defeating her.After formulating a plan in his mind, Henry made a decision."Alright, I'll give it a try!"The next moment, his body moved very quickly and was next to the masked woman."Sister, on your right!" shouted one of the masked men on the ground as soon as he saw Henry's body move.Before the woman could

Mahery suggested again."Brother, don't you believe in my abilities? Then, just this once, let me demonstrate them to this inexperienced young man!"A hint of annoyance flashed in Tsiory's eyes as he refused his brother's help.He knew that they had killed and defeated many warriors together, and this mission was no different.The day before, someone had offered them a large reward if they could capture a young man.Without much thought, Tsiory agreed to the offer, initially thinking the young man was just an ordinary person.However, when he realized that their target was a cultivator, he became extremely excited.For reasons he couldn't reveal to his brother, he even considered killing Henry!Mahery was surprised by this statement, but he

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
