It was a bright morning in a quiet and secluded corner of the somewhat remote area of Fairfield County.More than a thousand people were gathered in the front yard of a very large, four-story mansion.They were all dressed in black clothes or suits. It looked as if they were in mourning.And indeed, in front of them was a coffin with a photo on it, a photo of the handsome young man who had once been the leader of one of Waterside's largest organizations, Jimmy Walters!"I apologize for not being able to protect you, my son!" said an old man whose hair had partially turned white. "I am truly useless! It should have been me who died, not you!"He continued to shed tears as he placed both hands on the coffin and kissed it several times.Behind the old man, another old man looked at him with sympathy."I know what it's like to have only one child!" Hayden said to Henry. "But I can't imagine what it's like to lose the most precious person in our lives!"Hayden continued to talk about his f

The disciple of Laomen said nothing for a moment.Doubt was clearly written on his face.Nevertheless, Henry had suspected as much. "It seems that this person would rather die than say anything! Well, if that's what he wants!"Then he used his magic again and a strong root emerged from the ground and wrapped itself around the legs of the disciple of Laomen."Please, forgive me! I beg you!" he cried as the root pulled him down until his feet sank into the ground."If you have something to say, you'd better say it to the King of Hell!" said Henry.A moment later, the disciple's body sank into the ground up to his chest.It was then that he cried out in fear."The key to the ancient kingdom! The chief disciple ordered me to get the key to the ancient kingdom! That's all he told me! I don't know anything else!"Henry stared at the disciple with a furrowed brow. It seemed that his suspicions were correct.For a moment, the root stopped pulling at the student's body.But it didn't last long

The last two words out of Manley's mouth took Henry by surprise."What?""The next breakthrough?"When Henry had successfully reached level 10, he thought he had reached the peak of cultivation, where there was nothing beyond. However, Manley's words just now opened his mind to the opposite reality."But is there really a second breakthrough?" Henry pondered.He didn't want to believe something before he could prove it himself. On the other hand, as if he knew what was on Henry's mind, Manley spoke again."I can't tell you right now, but I'm sure you'll find out later when you've successfully achieved it! I'll give you my second-tier energy now!"The second-tier energy is the second cultivation energy in a cultivator's body.This energy is much stronger than the cultivation energy of the first layer, which ranges from 1 to 10.The reason Manley can give away his cultivation energy without fear of harm is because he has these two layers of energy.When he gives his second-tier energy t

As before, Henry's indifferent attitude towards the chubby man remained unchanged, even worsening."You better show me those girls before I lose my patience!""Huh, it seems like you never learn manners!" Jamyang said, beginning to look annoyed.His calm and friendly expression slowly faded."Just because you have a power level equal to mine, do you think you can act as you please in this place? Truly naive!" Jamyang shook his head, mocking him.Then he approached Henry."I've tried to be kind to you, but you've thrown it away! So don't regret what you've done if I treat you harshly after this!""You talk too much! Just show me the girls!" Henry said just as bluntly.Jamyang then gestured with his head to one of the students who was present."All right, Master!" the student said and stepped away.Shortly thereafter, four people dressed in black entered, carrying a stretcher on their shoulders.There was something on the stretcher that was not very clear because it was covered with a b

The black box rumbled as if something inside was trying to get out.The longer the rumbling continued, the stronger it became, causing everyone to fix their eyes on it, anxiously waiting to see what would come out of the box.After a while, the box emitted a very bright light that blinded everyone's eyes, forcing them to cover their faces with their hands.Of course, this did not apply to Henry, whose eyes had a higher immunity to light.He could see the black box opening slowly.Inside, he could see a wide and thick golden bracelet with very beautiful carvings on its surface."Neldor bracelet!" Henry muttered.He knew that behind its physical beauty, this bracelet held evil and dangerous potential.Therefore, he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.Henry reached out to take it.But before he could do so, a voice rang in his ears."Do not even think of touching it!"At that moment, the Supreme Master stood before him, also reaching for the bracelet."No! He must not have it!" tho
