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
Tsiory said with determination."But...!"Mahery wanted to remind his brother of his physical condition, but it seemed his words would be in vain as his younger sibling had used all of his inner strength."In that case, let's attack him together!" 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
Henry lunged desperately at the girl.However, the sword was no more than 10 centimeters away from Mia's chest.Even if Henry used all his strength, it might not be enough to prevent the masked woman's sword from hitting its target.At that moment, an unexpected event happened in front of him.When the tip of the sword touched Mia's shirt, two delicate fingers pinched it.Seeing this, the masked woman's body fell silent for a moment.Surprise filled her heart."Damn it! What's going on? Could it be that this girl is also a cultivator?"She had put all of her power into that attack.It should have been more than enough to pierce her heart.However, not only did the sword not move an inch, even when the woman pushed it with all her remaining strength, it didn't move at all.A moment later, while slowly opening her eyes, Mia twisted the tip of the sword with her two fingers.Snap!The tip of the sword broke.Immediately, Mia caught the broken tip and quickly shot it at the masked woman.
After almost an hour of driving, Henry began to approach the residential area located south of the city of Fairfield.Up ahead, next to the entrance gate of the housing complex, was a sign that read "Serene Gardens.""Looks like this is the place," he muttered after checking his phone screen where Hannah had sent Oliver's address earlier.Entering the area, Henry drove slowly, glancing left and right.After passing several houses, his gaze focused on a three-story bungalow with the number 16 on the front door.After parking his car, Henry walked through a four-foot-high white wooden gate and pressed the doorbell on the wall next to the front door.Ding dong! Ding dong!Moments later, hurried footsteps were heard from inside.When the door opened, a beautiful girl wearing a short tank top jumpsuit with floral patterns stood before him."Is this the residence of Mr. Oliver Dunn?""Yes, that's right!" The girl nodded softly, with a hint of sadness on her face."May I meet him?"Hearing H
Gabby spoke with a panicked look on her face.As the days went by, her father was showing more and more strange symptoms.Not only did she not understand what was happening to the old man, but even the doctor was puzzled.How could the girl not be worried?On the other hand, Henry was surprised by another part of the girl's explanation.A black box?Gaby's words only made Henry more convinced that the old man was involved in the Barnabus treasure project.But for now, the most important thing was to heal the old man."Gabby, calm down!I will do my best to help him!"Saying this, Henry pressed a nerve on Oliver's body, causing the old man to relax his grip and return to a normal sleep.After that, Henry placed his hands in front of Oliver's forehead, about 10 centimeters away.He then moved his hands to the old man's face, then to his neck, chest, and entire body, as if conducting a scan."Nothing strange is happening to him! This is not the effect of magic!" he muttered.Although Gab
Two hours later.Henry had returned to Oliver's residence with a bottle of potion in his hand.After Gabby helped him rest the old man's head on the headboard of his bed, Henry poured the medicine into Oliver's mouth.After a while, the old man's face, once pale and weak, now appeared red, a sign that his condition was rapidly improving.Moments later, the old man's eyes began to open."Father, you're awake!" Gabby cried, hugging her father as if afraid of losing him.Gently stroking his daughter's back for a moment, Oliver's gaze suddenly turned to Henry."You...?""Mr. Oliver, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Henry... Henry Matthews! Miss Chapman asked me to come."Henry didn't mention that he was the new dean replacing Oliver because he didn't think it was the right time."Father, Henry is the one who healed you! Without the potion he made, you might still be unconscious!" Gabby added."Besides..." Staring at Henry with admiration in her eyes, she continued, "He is also the
No matter how many offers came his way, Oliver continued to deny the existence of the map at that moment.However, this only made those who were following him more suspicious that the former Dean actually possessed the map they wanted."As more and more people became aware of this map, I finally decided to keep it a secret from my daughter, as well as from Miss Hannah," Oliver said.The reason was simple.If both girls knew about this map, greedy people might approach them to persuade Oliver to give it to them.So until he found someone he could really trust, he wouldn't reveal it to anyone.But these people didn't give up.Unable to persuade him peacefully, they resorted to threats."One of them gave me a threatening letter, basically saying that my safety would be compromised if I refused to cooperate with them!I don't want to involve people who shouldn't be involved, including my family, those close to me, especially the students!That's why I've decided to resign my position."He
