Chapter 1798



Sylvia stood there staring at the figure in front of her.

Henry continued, "Two years ago, little Henry found himself in my cave of residence. He trained with me for a year. During that period of time, he told me some stories about himself and showed me your portrait. When he left, I promised him that I'd protect you."

Henry said in a plain tone, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Senior, you said that he had left. Where did he go?"

Sylvia's shoulders were trembling slightly.

Henry shook his head and said, "No one knows where he went and no one has been able to find him, nor does anyone know when he will come back. Even I am unable to trace him. You are his ex-wife, the target he entrusted under my protection, it is only natural that I keep you safe according to the agreement. Well, that's all I have to say. From today onwards, you must have my permission if you want to leave this city."

After saying that, Henry got up and left. When he walked to the door, Sylvia's voice sounded again.

"Senior, he... will he be able to come back?"

Henry took a deep breath and replied slowly, "That'd be difficult."

After saying that, Henry quickly made his exit. He had taken the initiative to admit that Sylvia and he were divorced. When he had said that, Sylvia felt a pain in her heart as if it had been pricked by a knife, Henry too, felt the same way. Back in the past, no matter what happened, Henry would never think about giving up on Sylvia. However, at that moment, he had to make such a choice.

Henry currently had too many enemies. Even if he did not show himself, those people would still come up with ways to find his tracks. No one would suspect that Henry had anything to do with the peerless Immortal King, but there were also people who speculated that Henry was only hiding in the dark, and believed that they could trace Henry by first starting with Sylvia. As long as Sylvia could be baited to matters regarding him, they would soon have countless ways to finding Henry. However, if Sylvia could let go of Henry completely, they would no longer be able to do anything to Sylvia. That was the choice Henry had made. He ordered Sylvia to report to him every time she wanted to leave Yinzhou City, because he wanted to force Sylvia to forget him. After all, Henry had no idea when the matters of the Divine Race and Severity Tribe would come to an end.

After Henry left, Sylvia sat in the office and stared blankly into space. Her eyes were glassy, no one could tell what was on her mind.

Henry left the Lin Mansion. His face under the mask was also filled with bewilderment. That was the first time he had decided on making such a decision. In the past, no matter how strong his enemies were, he had certain measures against them. However now, he could no longer see the enemy clearly, just like what had happened in Mount Kunlun, he did not even know who it was attacking them from the shadows.

Henry returned to the hotel and shut the doors and windows. When everything was set, he took the mask off his face. His face was filled with stubble, and he looked old and time-beaten.

Henry looked at himself in the mirror before him. His eyes were filled with fatigue.

He sighed and said, "If I had a choice, I'd be willing to be an ordinary man for some time."

Henry sat still for a long quiet while, then put on his mask again. He would have to live a life hidden under the mask for a long while from that moment onwards. It was a fact that was difficult to change.

As the night grew darker, Henry lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of the night, and felt a strong, bizarre sensation well up in his heart.

The city of Yinzhou had become

more and more prosperous over the recent years. It even attained the title "Night City of the Northwest". Even at five o'clock in the morning, there were still plenty of cars and people moving back and forth in the streets. The neon lights of bars and nightclubs still flashed brightly. The entire city was so lively.

Henry's hotel was located on the busiest business street in Yinzhou City. However, he did not see any lights outside his window. An unexpected breeze brushed across Henry's face.

The door and windows of the room had already been locked. Where did the breeze come from? Henry walked over to the window and looked down below. The street, which should have been crowded, was empty. There were no vendors or vehicles to be seen.

Upon seeing this strange scene, Henry immediately realised that something was off. He rushed out of his room and got into the stairwell. With his speed, he was much faster than the elevator. A few seconds later, Henry appeared at the entrance of the hotel. There was still no one on

the street in front of him. The street was eerily clean and empty, and the shops on it were all closed, even the busiest nightclubs were locked. It was not possible for a curfew or anything that sort be implemented on that street. That was the busiest business street in Yinzhou City and also the biggest feature of Yinzhou City. The government wished that it bustled with cars and people every day.

Standing on the street, Henry would feel gusts of cold wind blowing from time to time. However, the branches of the trees around him did not shake at all. Even the leaves just hung rigidly, not responding to the wind at all.

Henry was worried that something might happen in Sylvia's place. Someone was obviously playing some sort of trick. He did not linger for much longer on the street and headed straight for the Luxury Village. On the way there, everything was dead quiet, the only thing that could be heard was his own footsteps.

When Henry stepped out of the street he was on, countless figures suddenly appeared in front of him. This scene that happened suddenly stunned Henry. He turned around to look subconsciously, and a hubbub of voices sounded behind him. The street was still as prosperous as before, youngsters of all shapes and sizes were standing around in front of the bars, everything had returned to normal.

The cold breeze that constantly brushed across Henry's had disappeared completely.

Henry disappeared into the night, then appeared at the Luxury Village and checked it again. He returned to the hotel after he discovered nothing unusual there, but the strange phenomenon never happened again.

Henry lay on the bed of the hotel and rested, waking only when dawn had arrived. Everything seemed normal.

This incident made Henry wary. For the next few days, he stayed awake every night. He wanted to find the source of the strange phenomenon. After a week, the strange phenomenon still did not happen. This made Henry very suspicious, but he had nowhere to start his investigations from.

Henry arrived at the Lins Group. He planned to ask Sylvia if anything strange had happened. As soon as he arrived at the Lins Group, Henry noticed that the employees were quietly discussing about something. With Henry's hearing abilities, if he concentrated, he could hear everything clearly, even if they whispered.

The word "haunted" sounded constantly in Henry's ears.

Haunted?

What happened that night could be regarded as a some sort of paranormal activity.

When Henry went to the top floor of the company, he noticed that many people dressed in peculiar clothes were gathered there, just like shamans. One of them wore a ghost mask and was muttering something.

The door to Sylvia's office was locked. Henry passed through the crowd and opened it very naturally. He was very familiar with that action.

"Senior Immortal King?"

Sylvia was greatly surprised to see Henry.

Henry realised that he had made another mistake. He had acted far too naturally and had forgotten how to act according to his identity.
