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."

    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!"

    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

    Henry released Mia's body and launched a continuous attack towards Hamada from his left side.With these attacks, Henry wanted to push the old man closer to the edge of the cliff. However, due to Hamada's much greater inner strength, each time the old man retaliated, it not only hit Henry, but also caused him to slowly suffer internal injuries. Despite the pain in his entire body, Henry continued to attack Hamada.Eventually, his plan succeeded, as Hamada was now in a position where the edge of the cliff was right behind him.Since the old man was carrying Mia, Henry saw an opportunity he had to take advantage of.Using the Magic Circle again, Henry shot at Hamada with both feet in front of him.Strike!When his kick landed on the old man's chest, who couldn't move anymore, he quickly hugged Mia.With this attack, Henry wanted to pull Mia away from Hamada and at the same time push his body to make him fall into the abyss.However, this strategy seemed predictable to the leader of the

    Later that night,In a restaurant in a luxurious hotel in a corner of Rainford City,A girl was playing with her cell phone in her fingers.Her face looked worried.Various dishes were laid out in front of her.Since it was a five-star hotel, the dishes served were made of the finest ingredients.However, none of these dishes seemed to appeal to her.The screen of her phone showed a picture of a smiling couple.The man was tall and handsome, while the woman looked very beautiful in a formal shirt typical of bankers."My love, where are you? Why did you disappear without telling me?" she whispered softly to herself.Not long after, a tall, stocky man, dressed in black and wearing black glasses, approached her table."Excuse me, are you Miss Baker?"Hearing the voice, the girl immediately turned her head to the side."Yes, it's me! Can I help you with anything?""Mr. Zachary is expecting you! Please follow me!" the man said firmly, holding out his hand to lead Darcie.Getting up from 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
