Chapter 2112


    "Of course! It''s settled!" Leon said.


    "Thank you, Mister Wolf. Thank you for taking us in," Henry snapped out of it and bowed at Leon.


    He tried seeking refuge with a few powerful families in the past, but no one was willing to take him in


    out of fear of the Scarlet Thief.


    Not only was Leon not scared of the Scarlet Thief, but he also offered a ce to stay for Henry despite


    the others'' protest.


    Henry felt both moved and grateful.


    Since Cynthion was a rising enterprise and Leon was a young man who did note from any ancient


    lineage of martial artists, Henry did not think that Leon could get rid of the Scarlet Thief. However,


    Henry learned from the sales drive that Leon was close with the Thompsons and the Hughes; on top of


    that, the Scarlet Thief was still actively being hunted by the Dragon Corps and would not dare to show


    himself without reason.

    Even if Leon could not kill the Scarlet Thief, it would not be overly challenging for him to provide Henry


    a sanctuary and that was all that Henry wanted.


    "You''re wee, Henry! If possible, can you tell me what happened between you and the Scarlet


    Thief?


    "Leon asked, feeling curious as to how Henry managed to cross the Scarlet Thief."


    "Well, it all started with an Ultimate Power method," Henry sighed and began to exin.


    He used to be a free-willed martial artist and a treasure hunter whose name was rather known in the


    community.


    Over a decade ago, the Scarlet Thief was also a treasure hunter and crossed paths with Henry and


    another treasure hunter. The three formed a team to enter a certain historical site in search of treasure.


    After risking their lives, they managed to obtain an Ultimate Power method and since that was


    considered the most powerful ss one could find in the southern region, the existing ones all


    belonged to influential families like the Thompsons and the Hughes.


    Hence, the Scarlet Thief turned against his teammates in the end out of greed as he wished to keep


    the method to himself.


    Thankfully, Henry and the other treasure hunter were both formidable martial artists and did not suffer


    severe wounds from the Scarlet Thief''s sudden attack.


    After a fierce battle, they managed to injure the Scarlet Thief severely and blinded him in one eye, but


    the Scarlet Thief seeded in escaping with the Ultimate Power method in the end.


    A grudge was established that day and the Scarlet Thief hid from everyone to start training with the


    Ultimate Power method.


    Five years ago, the Scarlet Thief reached the Almighty State with the help of the Ultimate Power


    method and returned to seek revenge on Henry and the other treasure hunter for blinding him.


    Henry was taken by surprise and apart from his granddaughter, the other seven members of his family


    all died at the hands of the Scarlet Thief.


    Scarlet Thief did not stop there and continued to hunt Henry as he was looted and murdered along the


    way.


    His power level soon rose to the Intermediate Almighty State and he soon became extremely difficult to


    deal with.


    There were times when Henry wanted to risk it all and avenge his family, but the Scarlet Thief was


    simply too strong.


    Feeling disheartened, Henry desperately wanted to go into hiding so that he could focus on training to


    see if he could reach the Almighty State as well before he sought revenge.


    However, he could not do so because his granddaughter, Sherlyn Yates, was traveling alongside him.


    He might be fine with hiding, but he did not want his granddaughter to waste her youth hiding from


    people.


    Hence, Henry had no choice but to stray from ce to ce to avoid the Scarlet Thief.
