“Boring!” As soon as Samuel Bennett’s roar faded, Henry Carter suddenly looked up, frowned, and then—‘whoosh’—a sudden, sharp sound of something slicing through the air rang out.

It turned out that the metal fork in Henry Carter’s hand—the one used for eating cake—had been shot out like a projectile.

That fork, only three inches long, traced a perfectly straight line through the air, just like an arrow, gleaming coldly and moving at an astonishing speed...

In the blink of an eye.

“Puff!!!”

The fork viciously embedded itself in Samuel Bennett’s knee.

“Bang...” Samuel Bennett, who had just been helped up by his bodyguards, suddenly collapsed to his knees again.

Clutching his knee, he rolled on the ground, howling in pain.

The dozen or so bodyguards, hearing Samuel Bennett’s agonized screams, didn’t hesitate for a second. Cold light flashed in their eyes as they raised their electric batons and, without a care, swung them at Henry Carter with all their might.

However—

What they couldn’t understand was that Henry Carter seemed to have vanished; they had lost their target.

Just as they were at a loss—

“Bang! Bang! Bang!...”

The harsh sound of bones breaking rang out in quick succession!!!

It was clear to see: Henry Carter moved like lightning, circling around the dozen or so black-clad bodyguards in a flash.

And every time his figure flashed past a bodyguard, that bodyguard’s arm was snapped, just like that.

After just two or three breaths, when Henry Carter stopped, all the bodyguards had broken arms, each one writhing on the ground in pain—some even fainted from the agony.

The whole process took Henry Carter only about three breaths—so fast it was terrifying.

After finishing all this, he walked toward Samuel Bennett.

“Tap, tap, tap...” Henry Carter’s footsteps weren’t heavy, but because the hall was so silent, the sound of his steps echoed clearly in everyone’s ears.

At this moment in the hall, whether it was Emily Bolton, Brian Foster, or anyone else, everyone held their breath!!!

Even a fool could see how powerful and extraordinary Henry Carter was.

When Henry Carter fought Zhu He before, these ordinary people might not have sensed how formidable he was.

But just now, Henry Carter defeated more than a dozen of the Xu family’s bodyguards in just a few breaths—enough to be visually shocking.

Truly, incredibly strong!

“Lanxin, does your boyfriend know martial arts?” Emily Bolton looked at Grace Walker, her expression dark and uncertain. Clearly, Henry Carter’s repeated, unexpected displays had left her uneasy and anxious.

“What’s it to you?” Grace Walker had no interest in answering, and in fact, she really didn’t know.

“So what if he acts tough? Even if he knows martial arts, it’s useless—he’ll still die with no burial place!” Emily Bolton snorted, “Planes, cannons, and guns are all waiting for him! This is the era of hot weapons! Does he think it’s still ancient times?”

At that very moment—

Henry Carter had already walked up to Samuel Bennett.

“You... you... what are you going to do?” Samuel Bennett slumped on the ground, looking up with red eyes, staring at Henry Carter, pushing himself backward with his hands, terrified to the extreme.

“I’m not going to kill you!” Henry Carter squatted down, staring at Samuel Bennett with a deep gaze, and said, “Do you know why?”

As he spoke—

Henry Carter grabbed Samuel Bennett’s arm. Samuel Bennett struggled with all his might, but couldn’t break free.

“Because! If you died, wouldn’t that be too easy for you? How could I bear to let you die?” Henry Carter leaned in closer to Samuel Bennett, his voice growing a bit hoarse.

No one could imagine just how much Henry Carter hated Samuel Bennett!!! It was a pure, unwavering, bone-deep hatred!

The next second—

Henry Carter circulated the mysterious energy within his body and sent it directly into Samuel Bennett.

Having just become a martial cultivator, he didn’t have much mysterious energy to use, but it was enough to plant a seed of it.

In his previous life, Henry Carter not only became a powerful master of mysterious energy, but also the most renowned divine doctor in China’s martial world, and the only alchemist in that world.

Because of this, he easily planted a seed of mysterious energy inside Samuel Bennett.

This seed was a poisonous one—it would poison Samuel Bennett, making him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, unable to use any of his limbs, and suffering constant, excruciating pain in his bones and joints.

Chapter 8 Trouble

As for Samuel Bennett, Henry Carter knew him all too well!!!

In his previous life, for the sake of revenge, he had studied Samuel Bennett in the most detailed way possible.

Henry Carter could even say that he knew Samuel Bennett better than Samuel Bennett knew himself.

Samuel Bennett had two hobbies: first, women; second, martial arts. And this seed of mysterious energy would make him lose both forever. Not only that, he would be confined to a wheelchair for life, constantly tormented by pain in his bones and joints—worse than death, right?

“For the rest of your life, enjoy it!” Taking a deep breath, Henry Carter calmed his emotions, gave Samuel Bennett a long look, and stood up.

“Wh... why? Why do you hate me so much?” As Henry Carter stood up, Samuel Bennett asked.

Samuel Bennett wasn’t stupid—he seemed to sense that Henry Carter had known him for a long time, and that they were mortal enemies.
