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
Henry had arrived at the basement of Mia's apartment building.After parking the girl's truck, he casually walked towards the apartment.When he reached the front door, Henry was about to reach for the doorknob when he noticed that the door was already open."Weird! Why didn't Mia close her door?"Henry entered the apartment to find that some of the furniture had been rearranged and the TV was on."Hmm, not bad! This place is a lot more comfortable now!"Henry assumed that Mia had gone out for a while.But just as he was about to lie down on the sofa, he saw Mia's cell phone on the table. His instincts immediately told him that something was wrong.Henry rushed to Mia's room but didn't find the girl there.Just then, his phone rang and the caller was not listed in his contacts."Who am I talking to?" Henry asked.The voice of an adult man, slightly resembling a child's, rang in his ear."If you want your girl to be safe, give yourself up now!"That was the only sentence spoken by the
The dwarves were standing in front of him, each holding a hammer or other mining tool.Seeing this, Henry realized that what they had shown earlier was just an act."Damn! Does that mean they're immune to my sleep spell?" he thought."Hey, kid! I admit that you're quite talented in magic!But if you think you can defeat us with cheap tricks like that, you're overestimating yourself!" said a dwarf, who seemed to be their leader, while banging his hammer in his hand."Right, brother! It looks like he's underestimating us! Shall we teach him a lesson right now?" another dwarf chimed in."Come on, brother! Let's attack him now!" added another.But before they could move, Henry said, "Wait! Who are you? And why are you attacking me? As far as I can remember, there has never been any dispute between us, so why are you after me?""You say there's no previous dispute?" asked the dwarf leader, glaring with both eyes."You killed a member of the Witch Order, and you still want to hide your hand
Henry's body took two steps forward.Although he didn't suffer any fatal internal injuries, the attack had startled him.At the same time, Roa, not wanting to waste the opportunity, swung his right hand with an axe towards Henry's chest.While Vo and Fal, both wielding long swords, attacked Henry from both sides.Chop!Slash! Slash!Realizing that they might attack him again, Henry quickly stepped back and jumped into a corner, creating distance.With his left hand, he pulled out the axe that was still lodged in his chest.At the same time, red-colored liquid quickly flowed from his chest and both arms."It's better if you kneel before us and apologize!Maybe I'll give you a relatively painless death!" Ira said with a mocking smile on his lips.In their estimation, Henry wouldn't be able to last much longer after losing so much blood.So there was no need to take it too seriously.Meanwhile, in another corner, Tel and the three dwarves Henry had defeated earlier approached Mia again.
After witnessing Henry's true strength, the three dwarves understood that Henry was no match for them.Even if they used magic, it might not help much because Henry was also a master.Therefore, except for begging for forgiveness, there was nothing else they could do to save their brother's life.On the other hand, Henry could see the sincerity in their actions.For a moment, he was impressed by the attitude of Ira's brothers."So the story in the encyclopedia is true!" he thought, taking a deep breath to calm his anger.In the life of the dwarves, the one chosen as leader was usually the youngest among them.This was done so that the older siblings could express their love for the leader sincerely and unconditionally.Meanwhile, the elders, like Roa, became the second leaders, tasked with providing ideas and advice to the first leader.As a second leader, Roa was expected to remind the first leader, in this case Ira, when he made a mistake."I don't want any of your lives!" Henry sai
Trying to stay calm, Henry initially thought that the truck behind him hadn't noticed the other truck in front of them."He should be slowing down soon!" he thought.But it seemed his assumption was wrong, because both the truck in front of him and the one behind him were speeding toward him.That's when he realized something."Damn! It seems like they're doing this on purpose!"Henry thought hard to get out of the situation.Pressing the clutch pedal, he shifted the gear lever to 1.Just as the truck in front of him was less than five feet away, Henry stepped on the gas and swerved his car to the left, onto the slightly sloping side of the road.As he passed the big truck, his car almost flipped over if he hadn't steered immediately to the right.The car successfully navigated the incline.However, as he was about to re-enter the road, the right wheel crushed a rather large rock, causing the car to lose balance.In a split second, before the car could roll over, Henry unbuckled his s
"What? Is what I heard true?" muttered Henry to himself.With a calm and wise face and an imposing appearance, the old man in front of him turned out to be a madman!"Old man, with your limited time left, why don't you just do more good deeds?Who knows, you might get forgiveness from heaven and live peacefully in paradise!"Upon hearing Henry's words, the old man's face tensed and he suppressed his rising anger.In all his life, no one had ever spoken to him so boldly.Looking at the white robe he was wearing, someone familiar with the matter would immediately associate him with the leader of a highly respected martial arts sect.Yes, the Laomen Sect or the Tiger Sect.Due to his tremendous cultivation energy, this old man had become the leader of the sect at the age of sixteen.Now that he was nearly a century old, no one dared to speculate on the extent of his cultivation energy.Therefore, except for those who were tired of life, no one dared to mess with him or his sect.Especial
