My Waste Husband

Chapter 1258

Looking at the purple-clad black silhouette in the darkness, Knox's expression turned solemn.

Anteo shouted loudly, "How dare you, monster! To try corrupt the hearts of the people of Eastern City!"

"The hearts of the people? You have the audacity to speak to me about the hearts of the people? Hahaha! Hahahahaha!" Henry erupted with a sudden laughter. His laughter boomed through the night, and his echoed throughout the entire Eastern City. "Look at what has become of the city, yet you still have the face to speak to me about the hearts of the people? Those words are meant for true rulers of the city! The purpose of your Colver Family is to protect the city and the people living in it, not to control it! The hearts of the people, you say? I don't know if you are still capable of winning over the hearts of the people, but I'm certain you have lost the initial trust of the people. Go."

Henry gently pointed at them with an outstretched hand.

Behind Henry, thousands upon thousands of divine swords appeared, blotting out the sky above them, then it all shot towards Knox and

Anteo, who were standing mid-air.

Knox and Anteo could feel the oppressive force from the countless purple swords that shot at them. After exchanging a glance, they simultaneously activated their Qi to shield against the rain of swords.

A curved energy shield was formed in front of Knox and Anteo. When the purple divine swords came in contact with it, bursts of muffled sounds could be heard.

Henry stood in the air with his hands clasped behind his back. Countless swords formed behind him, then they were shot repeatedly.

"Is this what it looks like when you say that you have exhausted yourselves?" Henry questioned again. "I don't know how exhausted you all have gotten. All I only know is that with the defence of Eastern City just now, even a four-year-old child would have been able to get by it and totter about in the city. While you, Knox Colver, the lord of Eastern City, were nowhere to be seen!"

"And Chu Family! Seeing that Colver Family did not take action, were you planning on keeping quiet too?"

Placido kept quiet.

In the sky, the curved energy shield that was formed in front of the two men broke apart suddenly, countless purple divine swords flew towards them. The expressions on the faces of Knox and Anteo were filled with fear. Just as the purple swords were about to hit the two men, the swords suddenly dissipated into thin air.

Knox's back was already drenched in cold sweat.

As the purple lights across the sky disappeared, Henry spoke again, "From today onwards, you, Knox, will no longer be the lord of Eastern City, and the area of the Chu Family's manor will be reduced by half. From now on, the Colver Family and the Chu Family will no longer be able to develop their own forces!"

Upon hearing Henry's words, the expressions of the members of the Colver and Chu Family changed altogether.

"Strong One, this is an internal affair of the Eastern City, it would seem that this is beyond your control," Placido said.

"What's that?" Henry looked in Placido's direction. "You are unwilling to let go of the power?"

"This has nothing to do with power or authority." Placido shook his head. "Since you have such power, you should be very clear about the roles of the Chu and Colver Family in Eastern City. You said that these two families of ours are not allowed to continue developing. I, Placido, wish to know, what gives you the authority to do so?"

Henry fell silent.

Seeing that Henry remained silent, Placido continued, "Both the Chu Family and Colver Family were tasked with a mission, Strong One..."

"How pathetic." Henry, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted Placido. "Sanford Chu was known as 'The Invincible Six Paths'. He was known for his righteousness and now lays buried in Kunlun. Your Chu Family are descendants of Sanford, am I right?"

Placido's was shocked. "Who on earth are you?"

Henry ignored him and looked to Knox. "The Colver Family, followers of Immortal Lu. That's how you were able to gain control of Eastern City? Just with a slogan like that?"

"You..." Knox stared at Henry. "Who the hell are you?"

Henry waved his arm and purple light flashed. Then, two figures were elevated into the air by the purple light. They were the two maids of Henry, Lisamari and Cherlyn.

Henry smiled and projected his voice, "Lisamari, Cherlyn, please tell them who I am."

"This... this..." Cherlyn's voice trembled. "This is the master of my family, Syl... Zhang..."

Syl Zhang!

Placido, who stood in the sky, as well as the members of the Chu Family who gathered in the courtyard, were all shocked.

Jacindo, who hid in the dark with Eurydice, also witnessed the scene and heard Cherlyn's words.

Syl Zhang!

Knox nodded. "So you're the famous appraiser. I've heard a lot about you."

Henry ignored Knox. He looked at Cherlyn curiously and said, "I'm curious. You knew what I meant when I asked you that, yet you insist on giving me such an answer. Do you really take me for a fool?"

Cherlyn trembled with fear and crumbled to her knees weakly. Lisamari's face was ashen, not even daring to utter a single word.

Henry waved his hand once more, and another figure was lifted to the sky by the purple light.

This time, it was Trahern.

Trahern also trembled at that moment. He looked at Henry who stood in the air, then smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, what... what is the meaning of this?"

Henry smiled and said. "Brother Cui, seeing that the two people you had assigned to spy on me were not willing to tell them, why don't you tell them who I really am?"

Trahern smiled apologetically. "Brother Zhang, you must be mistaken, to say something like that is a little too much, don't you think?"

A smiley expression was still displayed over Henry's face. "If you don't tell them, I'll kill you."

Trahern trembled uncontrollably and subconsciously turned his gaze to look at a different direction. He immediately realised something and quickly recollected his gaze. However, such a small movement of his was still caught by Henry.

"Trahern Cui." Henry called him directly by the name this time. "I'll give you three seconds, three..."

Cold sweat trickled down Trahern's forehead uncontrollably.

"Two." Henry's voice sounded again.

Trahern's legs trembled fiercely, and his lips began to pale.

"One."

Henry's voice was like a countdown timer for his life.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Trahern roared. "He's Henry! He's

Henry Zhang!"

Shouting the name "Henry" seemed to have used up every ounce of strength in Trahern's body.

With a wave of Henry's arm, the two sisters and Trahern, could once again feel the ground.

Henry Zhang!

This name sounded unfamiliar to the natives of Eastern City. It did not ring any bells, but to the upper echelons of Eastern City and the Chu Family, it could not be clearer what Henry's name meant to them.

The new Archbishop of the Eastern Continent!

The eyes of Knox and Placido were filled with disbelief.

"Now, tell me, you two." Henry spread his hands wide. "Do I have the right to restrict the development of the two families of yours?"

Knox and Placido were both stunned. They never imagined that this newly appointed archbishop had already entered stepped into the Recluse World and had been wandering around right under their noses?

Placido was the first to react. He knelt in mid-air and shouted, "Placido of the Chu Family pays his respects to My lord!"

The Chu Family were close followers of the Archbishop of the Eastern Continent!
