"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.novelbin
He tried seeking refuge with a few powerful families in the past, but no one was willing to take him inout of fear of the Scarlet Thief.
Not only was Leon not scared of the Scarlet Thief, but he also offered a place to stay for Henry despitethe others' protest.
Henry felt both moved and grateful.
Since Cynthion was a rising enterprise and Leon was a young man who did not come from any ancientlineage 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 ofthat, the Scarlet Thief was still actively being hunted by the Dragon Corps and would not dare to showhimself without reason.
Even if Leon could not kill the Scarlet Thief, it would not be overly challenging for him to provide Henrya sanctuary and that was all that Henry wanted.
"You're welcome, Henry! If possible, can you tell me what happened between you and the ScarletThief?
"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 explain.
He used to be a free-willed martial artist and a treasure hunter whose name was rather known in thecommunity.
Over a decade ago, the Scarlet Thief was also a treasure hunter and crossed paths with Henry andanother 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 wasconsidered the most powerful class one could find in the southern region, the existing ones allbelonged 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 keepthe method to himself.
Thankfully, Henry and the other treasure hunter were both formidable martial artists and did not suffersevere 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, butthe Scarlet Thief succeeded 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 theUltimate Power method.
Five years ago, the Scarlet Thief reached the Almighty State with the help of the Ultimate Powermethod 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 familyall 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 theway.
His power level soon rose to the Intermediate Almighty State and he soon became extremely difficult todeal with.
There were times when Henry wanted to risk it all and avenge his family, but the Scarlet Thief wassimply too strong.
Feeling disheartened, Henry desperately wanted to go into hiding so that he could focus on training tosee 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 frompeople.
Hence, Henry had no choice but to stray from place to place to avoid the Scarlet Thief.
