My Waste Husband

Chapter 1262

Knox's face turned scarlet as he was choked by Henry. The Qi of his entire body had been sealed. When faced with Henry, Knox who was known to be powerful, was no more than an ordinary man.

"Knox, you should know how to answer such a simple question, right?" Henry's eyes were filled with ferocity, the purple aura than enveloped his body expanded.

The corners of Knox's lips curled slowly into a smile. "Dream... on, Henry!"

"You wish to die? Very well! I'll give you a hand!" a purple blade of Qi formed in Henry's hand.

The members of the Colver Family remained silent.

Knox also closed his eyes and displayed an indifferent expression across his face, ready to take the blow of the blade in Henry's hand.

However, after a long pause, Knox did not feel any of the pain that he had imagined. Instead, he felt more relaxed as the fury that had completely suppressed him suddenly vanished.

"I'm very curious." Henry's voice sounded.

Knox opened his eyes and discovered that the blade of Qi in Henry's hand was gone.

Henry looked at Knox. "According to what I already know, the people you have been looking up to are already dead. Furthermore, he no longer belongs to the Recluse Association. Why do you have to be this loyal?"

"Henry, I'm warning you!" Knox yelled loudly. "Even if some sages have already left this world, you shall not... what!¹'

Knox lost himself in the middle of his sentence and suddenly widened his eyes to look at the scene before him in disbelief.

At that exact moment, a purple lotus rotated slowly above Henry's head, giving out a magnificent glow.

Knox's eyes were gradually filled with infatuation as he stared at the purple lotus.

"Henry, what kind of dark magic is this? I...."

A member of the Colver Family shouted, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by another senior member of the Colver Family.

"Shut up!" After the senior member of the Colver Family scolded the man, he looked at Henry with a complicated expression. Disbelief, suspicion, shock, and satisfaction could all be seen his eyes.

Henry smiled and asked softly, "Do you recognise this?"

Knox's body trembled as he said, "Sacred... Sacred... Sacred Lotus."

"Looks like you do recognise it." The lotus flower above Henry's head disappeared suddenly. "Now do you still think that I am working with with demonic beasts?"

Knox, who had just returned to his senses, fell to his knees and knelt before Henry. He then bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Immortal disciple!"

When the upper echelons of the Colver Family saw this, they all came to their senses and knelt down in unison. "Greetings, Immortal disciple!"

"All right, you may rise." Henry waved his hand, and all those who knelt were lifted up by an invisible force. "I still have questions for all of you."

Knox gulped. "My Lord, before that, may I be allowed to ask you a question?"

Henry nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Knox clenched his fists subconsciously and said. "Immortal Lu, he, is he really..."

"Yes." Henry spoke before Knox could finish his question. "I buried him personally."

The rims of Knox's eyes turned red instantly. "We have always believed that only seventy percent of this news was true, but we never expected..."

"Don't be sad about it." Henry shook his head and said, "It's the old man who didn't want to continue living. Otherwise, with his capabilities, how would it possibly be my turn to bury him? It would seem more possible for the old man that he was to see the younger ones off. Now I have a few questions for you. Who was the one who spread the news about me cooperating with the demonic beasts?"

Knox pondered for a moment, then said, "This news came from the outer cities. I don't know exactly which city it originated from."

"Question number two." Henry stretched out a finger. "I heard that back then, the Chu Family joined forces with the demonic beasts and resulted in the death of your son?"

"Yes." A look of hatred flashed in Knox's eyes. "Back then, it was indeed the Chu Family that cooperated with the demonic beasts and killed my son."

"Do you have any evidence on that?"

"I don't!" Knox shook his head. "But I saw it with my own eyes. It was Placido who killed my son back then, and I saw it clear as day! The technique Placido had used was the same as the Demon King!"

Henry frowned and thought for a moment, then he asked, "One last thing, is there anyone in the

Colver Family who joined forces with the demonic beasts? When I first entered the Recluse World, I saw someone from the Colver Family take Eurydice as hostage, that person also used the method of coordinating with the demonic beasts." "Impossible!" Knox spoke with absolute certainty. "The Colver Family would never possibly join forces with demonic beasts, nor would we ever try to harm the girls of the Chu Family. Placido may have cooperated with the demonic beasts, but I believe that most of the members of the Chu Family are innocent."

"Okay!" Henry snapped his fingers and said, "I ask you this, if I take you out of here now and murder Placido, are you confident that you can regain your power in Eastern City?"

"Yes!" Knox nodded.

"Very well, then..." Henry looked at his feet, then he shot out his arm very suddenly and grabbed the neck of a senior member of the Colver Family.

Knox was alarmed. "Immortal disciple, you..."

"Seriously." Henry squeezed the neck of the man in his hand as he looked at Knox, and said with a faint smile, "As the head of the Colver Family, why was nobody speaking up for you when you were in trouble? It's because everyone thinks that you are just puppet, you're not important, is that right?"

Knox was horrified to hearthose words.

Henry continued, "Since the people behind all of this already know that I have arrived at the Recluse World, how would they have not thought that I would reveal my identity to you? Your acting is indeed better than the others. However, humans possess subconscious behaviours of their own, which cannot be concealed through their acting. If you really are the lord, it can't be possible for the upper echelons of the Colver Family to keep turning to look at him every time I make a scene."

Henry grabbed on to the man's neck forcefully, but the man's face showed not even the slightest look of pain. Instead, a sneer appeared on his face.

This was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was looked ordinary, which would not catch any attention.

"Henry, Henry, you really are impressive. It's no wonder you were able to climb up to this position from the bottom." The man spoke with ease. "But, have you really figured it out? Are you going to take action? As of right now, you are being accused of cooperating with demonic beasts. Once you lash out, do you think that you will be spared? The Chu Family that follows you so dearly would also be annihilated by the Recluse Association." "I don't think that sounds right." Henry said confidently, "Aren't the members of the Chu Family also your subordinates? Since I stepped into this Recluse World, you have been acting it all out before me, acting as if somebody was planning to split my Eastern Continent and my master's lineage. So let me guess, what you really desire is not for me to commit mutiny, instead you desire information. However, you could never get me to speak, therefore the only way to obtain the information you need is through questioning the real Knox Colver and Placido Chu, am I right?"
