“Success and glory are just around the corner. I’m going to make a great achievement, return home in glory, and let my sister-in-law see what I’m made of.”

Based on the group owner’s chat records, this should be the most important battle for the Xiang Army—the Battle of Tianjiazhen.

Once again, a group of people instructed the group owner on how to make a name for himself in this battle, to one day replace Ta Qibu and become the Xiang Army’s top warrior.

But in the days that followed, the group owner disappeared again.

It was several days before he reappeared.

“I—I’m completely finished.”

“We were supposed to win the whole battle, but... but I was too scared. Those Taiping soldiers weren’t afraid of death at all. I lost control and turned to run, and the troops behind me all followed. Then the whole battle... collapsed. Ta Qibu was furious and is looking everywhere for me, wanting to kill me.”

“I ran far away and hid, but they’re searching everywhere for me, trying to catch me.”

“What should I do? What should I do?”

“It’s over, I’m going to get caught.”

“I hid the tablet and the solar battery. This should be the Tiger Cave on Xiangu Mountain in Wuxue City, Hubei. I drew an apple symbol where I hid the tablet.”

“My crime is too great this time, I’m definitely going to be executed.”

“Please save me, try to go to the cave on Xiangu Mountain in Wuxue City and see if you can find my solar battery and tablet. That way I can travel back. It was this tablet that let me travel through time, and I was at this very place when it happened.”

“I’m not lying to you, I really am a time traveler. I’m begging you, save me, save me!”

“They’re coming...”

Henry Clark couldn’t help but be stunned—he was from Wuxue City, and Xiangu Mountain wasn’t far away.

However, he didn’t take it too seriously. Even with just a little thought, he knew this was ridiculous.

In the days that followed, the group owner really never appeared again.

……

Henry Clark was forced to go on another blind date.

The girl was very pretty and liked him a lot. She didn’t care that he was sidelined in the bureaucracy—she just liked that he was super handsome.

“Do you think this necklace looks good?” The girl leaned in close, her fair skin revealing a deep, endless valley.

“I’m so tired.”

“I’m wearing high heels, you know.”

“I’m pretty satisfied with my figure, except my hips are too wide. What do you think?”

Henry Clark really wanted to be moved, but he knew he couldn’t—he was hurt and couldn’t delay someone else’s happiness.

In the end, Henry Clark couldn’t hold out any longer and said to the girl, “I’m sorry, you’re great, but we’re not right for each other.”

The girl looked at him for a long moment, her eyes turning red, then she left.

Henry Clark looked up at the sky, down at the ground, and at his little brother, speechless and choked with emotion.

Then, looking at the mountain ahead, he was suddenly stunned.

Wait, isn’t that Xiangu Mountain?

That’s where the group owner said he was caught, and where he buried the tablet. Should he go take a look?

Although Henry Clark thought it was absurd, he still felt a trace of anticipation.

After all, as an orphan, he didn’t really have any attachments in this world.

So, he headed toward Xiangu Mountain.

……

Over an hour later, inside the Tiger Cave on Xiangu Mountain, Henry Clark stared blankly at the apple symbol before him.

It had been crudely carved into the stone wall with something sharp.

It actually exists?

Beneath the stone wall was a pile of dirt. Henry Clark dug with a shovel, and after only about half a foot, he seemed to hit something hard. Clearing it away, he found a waterproof oilcloth bundle. He dug it out and opened it—inside was actually a tablet and a solar battery.

This...

Still, he wasn’t too surprised. It was probably just a prank by the group owner, who had buried it here in advance.

He took out the tablet and instinctively pressed the power button, wondering what other pranks the group owner had in store.

But...

The instant he pressed the power button, a surge of electricity shot through his entire body, sparks crackling all over him.

The cave was instantly lit up, the space slightly distorted.

Several seconds passed.

The light dimmed, and everything returned to normal.

But Henry Clark had vanished without a trace.

Chapter 2: Ferocity After Time Travel

No one knows how much time passed before Henry Clark woke up again, his head splitting, his vision blurry.

It took quite a while before he could see his surroundings clearly. This... this looked like a prison cell?

He was wearing prison clothes.

His mind froze for several seconds.

What... what happened?

After a long while, he had to confirm one fact.

He really had traveled through time?! Into the body of that group owner—and his name was also Henry Clark?

Xilan Banner’s Xilin Jueluo Henry Clark, a nobody in history. Ever since the decline of the Ortai clan, the Xilin Jueluo family hadn’t produced any notable talents.

And the first thing he did after time traveling was to greet his little brother.

That was the pain of his previous life—wanting to sleep but unable to, the loneliest feeling.

“In the name of all my teachers, awaken, my brother!”

With just a brief recollection, the lewd smiles of all his teachers flashed through his mind, and his brother instantly sprang to life!

His mind rippled with two images—sister-in-law? Concubine Yi?

Instantly, he was filled with wild anger!

Alright, alright, I know you’re impressive, now put away your powers.
