Henry's confidence was rooted in the fact that he had a group of friends he could entrust his back to.
"Alright, boss, that's enough of our chit- chat." Wade looked at his communicator and said, "You're late. You should be on a date with Sylvia. Hahaha, you can't be just all talk and no action when it comes to sister- in- law, if you keep her waiting alone through the night I guess you'll be kneeling on your fingers in front of the floor-to-ceiling window every day."
Wade's words caused a burst of laughter.
Henry rolled his eyes and walked out of the villa.
The sky had gone completely dark, and the lights of the villa next to theirs were already turned off.
Henry nimbly climbed over the fence and climbed up to Sylvia's window. It was pitch black inside, he already knew which room Sylvia slept in.
Just as Henry pushed the window open and was about to enter, a sharp blade appeared right at Henry's neck.
Sylvia's voice rang out in the dark room, "You seem to be very familiar with climbing through windows, from the looks of it, you've done this a
lot in the past."
Henry said with an ingratiating smile, "Honey, that's not true."
"I'm sure it is." Sylvia put away her dagger.
Even in the dark, Henry could still notice the lady's slightly upset expression. He quickly explained, "Honey, I really don't have the habit of climbing through windows. Can't you see I'm doing all of this just so I can see you?"
"See me? So, to come and see me, you'd choose to climb through my window sneakily? Well then, who is the woman you'd go and see in broad daylight?" Sylvia crossed her arms and pouted unhappily.
"Heh heh." Henry hugged Sylvia shamelessly, "Honey, if you want me to come to see you in broad daylight, I could do that too."
"Forget it." Sylvia glared at Henry. "You are the great Lord Zhang after all, I wouldn't dare to contact you so casually, I..."
Before Sylvia could finish, she was interrupted by a passionate kiss from Henry, his lips completely sealing hers. When Sylvia's trembled slightly seconds later, Henry loosened his embrace on Sylvia.
"Honey, you're right!" Henry said with a serious expression. "You're my wife, how could I come looking for you so sneakily? I have to be open about it. Wait for me, I'll go and get ready!"
After Henry said that, he readied himself to jump out of the window.
"Come back." Sylvia grabbed Henry by the collar. "Let's talk about the serious issue. How much do you know about the meeting?"
Henry sat on Sylvia's king-sized bed and said, "I know a little about it. I heard that the rules have been changed."
"Yes." Sylvia poured a glass of water for Henry and sat down beside him. "This time, the big three of the main city are working to fight against you. They deliberately ignored the age restriction for the participants of the meeting in order to force the elders backing you to show themselves. The rumours out there say that Wade and the others are backed by the Noble Berserkers, but what about you? Who is the one backing you? That is what they want to know most as of now."
"Honey." Henry grabbed Sylvia's soft hands and said, "Speaking of this, I need to ask you. Who is the person backing me? Back then, you left me a ring, which would give me access to the Core, then you deliberately spoke of 'Radiant Island', causing Radiant Island and I to be well-knownin the core. It seems that someone has been doing this years ago. Who is it? Who was it that brought you to the Core?"
Sylvia opened her mouth, but said nothing and shook her head. "Darling, I can't tell you about these. You just have to trust me. I won't bring you harm."
"Of course I trust you." Henry replied without hesitation. "Okay then, Honey, you can't tell me, but I can ask questions, is the person backing you a follower of Master Lu, or maybe has the surname Lu?"
