After thirty minutes, the bell rang to signal the end of the lecture.

At that moment, all the C class students eagerly left the room.

They almost ran to the door like someone trapped in a desert who sees a distant water source.

Their faces showed signs of exhaustion and fatigue, despite the gleam of happiness in their eyes.

Henry shook his head at their behavior.

He knew they were different from the children born to middle-class or even less fortunate families.

The second category of children were accustomed to thinking about their future because they had no one to rely on but themselves.

Therefore, it was not surprising that these children had usually studied and worked hard since their junior high school days.

Meanwhile, the children in the first group who were born into wealthy families might have been used to a comfortable life without worrying about their future or studying.

Even if they did not work hard, they had someone behind them to rely on.

Therefore, when they were asked t

    While he shouted, he still lay on the sofa, as if he didn't think Henry was important at all.Of course, Henry was a little surprised by the young man's attitude.But what surprised him even more was the room itself.There were no chairs and tables like in normal classrooms.Instead, what he saw was a complete bar with a cabinet full of alcoholic drinks of various types and brands in the corner where there was a counter and some chairs in front of it.Then, in another corner, he saw a refrigerator full of various snacks and soft drinks.In front of the refrigerator was a pool table, dartboard, and other gaming equipment.In the middle of the room were four long couches facing each other, with a table full of food in the middle.Besides this young man, there were three other young people playing pool.Meanwhile, at the bar, four girls were chatting and enjoying drinks on the counter.If the young man on the sofa seemed very angry with Henry, it was different with the other young men an

    As she spoke these words, Hallie's eyes continued to look in Henry's direction.Henry, who hadn't expected to be asked such a question, felt his body freeze for a moment."What does that mean? Why is she asking me that?" he thought."Hallie, what do you mean? I came here to..."Henry started to continue, but the girl cut him off. "Just answer my question! Do you miss me? Even if it's just a little!"Seeing the expression on the girl's face, Henry understood that she really wanted him to answer her question.Although he had only met the girl briefly, Henry could tell that she was a demanding person.If she wanted something, she had to get it.Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Henry said, "Since our last meeting, I didn't know if the hope of meeting you again was possible or not! But honestly, I'm very happy to see you again!"Henry's words were sincere.When he accidentally saw that girl earlier, he hoped that he didn't mistake her for someone else.On the other hand, Hallie's li

    Listening to all of this, Henry now understood that someone was taking advantage of the presence of these wealthy students to profit from them.Moreover, in Henry's mind, even though this building was built by a certain family, it didn't mean that it was justified to treat the students differently.Let's say that the Williamson family did build this building.Still, that doesn't mean that they or anyone associated with them, including Hallie and her friends, are entitled to different facilities that are not available to other students. According to the principles of equality, if one student gets certain facilities, then others should get the same facilities.In reality, however, that's clearly not the case.If your parents' names aren't at the top of the faculty donor list, you certainly won't get those facilities.As a result, Henry has decided to address this issue as soon as possible."If this continues, it's not unlikely that the reputation of the art faculty will be tarnished," h

    Through the glass in the door of the room, Henry saw a man in his fifties, wearing iron-framed glasses, moving his five fingers in front of several men about his age.The man wore a white shirt tucked into formal black pants."Five hundred thousand?"A bald-headed old man lifted himself slightly from the sofa he was sitting on out of curiosity.The bespectacled man shook his head."What? That's impossible! You mean five million?"Another man, wearing a full suit and dark brown tie, showed an equally surprised expression.The bespectacled man shook his head again while continuing to smile.What he did caused everyone's mouths to drop."So you mean fifty million?"The guess came from a middle-aged woman wearing a very tight dress that revealed a bit of her slightly overweight body.Upon hearing the last guess, the bespectacled man nodded."Exactly! ... Fifty million!That is the amount we will receive if the young man named Marco can endure just one semester in this program!"As he said

    He shook his head. "I've never been afraid of a barking dog!"Henry entered the room, leaving Silas with a surprised look on his face."You impudent! Poor boy, you dare to insult us! If it is not to make your life miserable, never call me Silas!" he said angrily as he closed the door and followed Henry from behind."Hello...! Welcome, buddy!"Saying these words, Burl got up from the sofa he was sitting on.Then he patted the sofa, as if cleaning it, and made a gesture with his hands."Come, please sit here! We warmly welcome you!"His words and gestures made the other lecturers laugh again."Yes, come here, Mr. Clown! We are very entertained by your words!" someone said."I hope there's another form of entertainment you can provide us with!" another added, the laughter growing louder.Henry just stood there, staring at them.This encouraged Burl to taunt him even more."Hey, buddy, why are you just standing there? Please don't be shy! Think of this place as your own!"Saying that, he

    "Yes, sir! I asked him to leave, but he insisted on standing his ground as if he were the one who was absolutely right!"This time it was Silas who said those words."If it weren't for Mr. Burl's generosity, I might have had to take stern measures to make him behave more politely towards an elder!"The words of these two people naturally made Elton curse."That little rascal... did you tell me you wanted us to educate him?"Elton asked, tilting his head in Burl's direction."You shouldn't be too soft on little rascals like that, or he'll keep giving you trouble!" Elton slowly walked over to the sofa.At that moment, he saw the head of someone sitting on the sofa, as if he had seen it somewhere before."Why does he look so familiar?" he thought.However, in order to maintain his dignity, he had to continue to stand firm in front of them.But before he reached the sofa, Burl spoke again."Sir, what if we take strict measures against the students in class A from now on?"Burl had had an

    All the lecturers, including Burl, now had their foreheads on the ground as the two bodyguards continued to kick their bodies.Enduring the pain in their bodies, they continued to plead with Elton.But instead of listening or paying attention to them, Elton turned his anxious gaze to Henry, who just seemed to remain silent."Damn! If he doesn't say anything, I'll torture them until he's satisfied!" he thought."Those damn teachers, they've put my career on the line now!"Since Henry was silent, Elton felt he had to be even harder on them.He felt he had to do this to show Henry that he wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of the Dean."Stop!"Elton ordered his two bodyguards to stand back.Then he looked at all the teachers."All of you, raise your heads! Now!" he shouted.Reluctantly, with expressions of fear in their eyes, they did as instructed.But their eyes remained fixed on the floor. None of them dared look at Elton at that moment.At that moment, they hoped that Elton would sho

    He paused for a moment and continued, "As for the money, I can assure you that he intends to give it to the dedicated teachers who tirelessly taught his son!And since I was the interim dean at the time, he planned to give me ninety percent of it!" he continued."But since you're here, I won't regret it if you take half of it for yourself!"Elton said this as a compromise.He hoped that even if Henry took the money, the young man would still consider leaving a substantial amount for him."He shouldn't dare take the whole amount, should he?" Elton thought. "Because if he does, he knows I could report him to Mr. Gallagher!"When Elton thought he had given the most favorable answer he could think of, Henry's reply was completely unexpected."I didn't ask you to give it to me or not! I'm just testing whether or not you can be honest with me!"Really?Elton was startled at that moment.It was really hard for him to believe what Henry was saying."Is he so rich that he doesn't want a share

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

    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
