Frederick woke up early the following day and went to the villa's garden. He slowly shut his eyes and breathed in the fresh morning air.

As he inhaled and exhaled, the leaves around him seemed to sway in rhythm with his breathing. It was as if they'd become one!

Suddenly, Frederick opened his eyes. Light flashed in them. He let out a roar as loud as a lion's. Then, he tightened his core and swung a punch, emitting a loud crack. With every punch that he swung, he seemed to exude boundless power.

After completing a series of punches, Frederick exhaled deeply. He hadn't practiced his martial arts like this since getting married.

He went back inside and took his shirt off to wipe his sweat. Just then, his stomach rumbled. He went to the kitchen and made himself some instant mac and cheese.

As he took his first bite, someone rang the doorbell. Frederick put his cutlery down to answer the door. It was Vivianne. He asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

Vivianne's face was a littl

    Was the Danbury family going to hold this over Frederick's head and make him keep working for them?At Frederick's frown, Vivianne explained, "Here's the situation—I had all four patients sent home this morning, and I gave them 100 thousand dollars each in exchange for their secrecy. I told them to stay at home for the time being."One of the patient's family members refused to accept the money, though. They insisted on having the doctor who'd checked the patient treat the patient before they would agree to keep their silence. And so, to keep things under wraps and to help catch the people who framed my father, could you please help?"Frederick wasn't too pleased about this. As a doctor, he naturally had the empathy and kindness to want to treat every patient in the world. If any patient came knocking and asked him to treat them, he would gladly do so.Yet, this patient was using the dirt they had on Vivianne to threaten her so she would come to him and ask him for help. Frederick

    Priscilla wanted to ignore David when she saw the lecherous look on his face that even the mask couldn't conceal. But Grace hurried forward and said, "Dr. Jackson, we wanted to ask about the four patients who were staying here earlier."Under normal circumstances, doctors couldn't reveal information about their patients to third parties. But David, who was now thinking with his dick, couldn't care less about the principles of being a doctor. He immediately told them what he knew."Oh, I know all about that. I was their chief physician, after all. They're basically on the brink of death now, and it's all because they consumed Danbury Corporation's herbal pills. Just imagine how heartless Danbury Corp. is." David's love for Vivianne had turned to hatred because he'd failed to win her heart.Priscilla's eyes widened at his words. She thought Vivianne had only been making up stories about the patients. It turned out there really had been four patients who'd fallen ill after consuming

    "We can pay you for your help," Grace said.David was delighted to hear this. It was right up his alley. On one hand, he could get revenge on Vivianne. On the other hand, he could take this opportunity to get close to Priscilla and Grace. What was there to say no to?He suppressed his joy and put on a righteous look. "Exposing these unscrupulous entrepreneurs is what is expected of me, a doctor educated in Motheca. The money doesn't matter, really."Priscilla's and Grace's eyes lit up at his words. They didn't expect David to be such a righteous, upstanding doctor.Then, David switched tactics. His gaze was lecherous as he said, "Instead, I was hoping I could have the chance to treat you two pretty ladies to a meal."Before Priscilla could say anything, Grace rejected him. "No, that won't do. We have other things on today."She still remembered Priscilla's date with Wade at Sky Garden later that day. To Grace, Wade's family and net worth made him the perfect candidate for Prisc

    Vivianne drove to the park, where she'd agreed to meet the patient's family. Frederick went with her. As soon as they got out of the car, he saw a beautiful woman with a sexy figure in the distance. She wore a red dress and was looking around while seated on a bench. She seemed to be searching for something.When she saw them, she slowly stood up and walked toward them sexily. Frederick couldn't help staring at her a little as the sun's rays shone down on her. Every step she took was reminiscent of a flawlessly executed dance move. She was elegant and classy. One couldn't take their eyes off her.Suddenly, Frederick felt a sharp pain come from his waist. He looked down to see Vivianne pinching him there. "What are you doing?"Vivianne puffed out her cheeks, sounding jealous as she said, "So, she's your type, huh?"Frederick couldn't understand her thought process. "Aren't you the one who wanted me to come with you?"Vivianne felt like she'd brought disaster upon herself. She

    Vivianne had no choice but to drag Frederick back. "I hope you'll keep your word."Just then, her phone rang. When she answered it, her expression changed. "What? Priscilla, that shameless hussy, wants to sue us for making false accusations against her? And she has proof against us?"Look, I'll be right back to take those herbal pills for an inspection at a professional body. I'd like to see what else she has to say when the results are out!"After hanging up, she gave Scarlett a wary look before turning to Frederick. She said in a small voice, "That shameless ex-wife of yours is biting us in the ass. I have to head back to deal with this now, so I can't go with you to see the patient."You have to be careful with that vixen. Don't fall into her trap and let her take advantage of you!"It was her first time meeting Scarlett, and they'd only spent a matter of minutes together. Yet Vivianne had already categorized Scarlett as a vixen.Scarlett didn't get mad at her words. Instead,

    Scarlett tittered at the look on Frederick's face. "Look, I've changed, haven't I?"She stretched out a long leg. Her feet, which had earlier been in sky-high heels, were now in sneakers. She said half-seriously, "I'm a driver who abides by traffic rules. I can't drive in heels, can I?"Frederick was speechless. "You told me not to look at you just because you wanted to change your shoes?"She flipped her hair and smiled winningly. "What, are you disappointed? What did you want to see me change into?"Frederick decided not to say anything else. He ignored her teasing.Scarlett drove for a while when her expression suddenly turned grim. She was no longer the flirty, alluring woman from before. "The person I want you to treat has a rather special identity and means a lot to me. I hope you'll give this your best shot."A special identity? Meant a lot to her? Frederick thought Scarlett only wanted him to treat a regular patient. He hadn't expected this patient to be someone important

    Soon, Scarlett pulled up outside a palatial villa. She and Frederick got out of the car and then headed to the entrance. Two burly men stood guard there, looking murderous.Any regular individual would probably have jelly legs from the fright of seeing them there. They were surprisingly respectful toward Scarlett, though. "You're back, Ms. Samson."She nodded. "Yeah. I brought a doctor to check on Mr. Lex."They looked at Frederick, looking doubtful when they saw how young he was. Scarlett snarled, "What, are you doubting me?"The two bodyguards immediately broke out in cold sweat. They stepped aside to make way for Scarlett and Frederick. "No, of course not!"As they entered the villa, Scarlett explained, "I told you the patient's identity is quite special. He's actually Tyger Lex, also known as The Almighty Tyger. Everyone in Jenaire City knows him. I bet you didn't expect to be treating him."Frederick was taken aback. He didn't know who Tyger was at all. There wasn't anyone i

    Upon hearing Frederick's words, Scarlett's mouth opened in surprise.Everyone around them couldn't help but look bewildered. Frederick dared to act wantonly at the Lex residence. Was he looking for death?Fabian laughed loudly. "You want me to kneel? Did I hear that wrong?"Crack!A clear sound of a bone breaking echoed.Fabian's laughter abruptly stopped and was replaced by a shrill and sudden scream of pain.In just an instant, Frederick suddenly made a move, directly breaking Fabian's right hand.At this moment, Fabian was on the ground, holding his right hand and crying out in pain.Everyone around them swallowed hard in shock.Scarlett widened her eyes, shocked that Frederick was so ruthless and violent.Fabian was sweating profusely from the pain. He yelled to those around him. "Hurry! Beat him up!"The Lex family members were about to move, but Frederick's gaze turned sharp and murderous. "Anyone who dares to offend me will meet the same fate as him."Hearing Frederi

    Mary's case was the most severe, while Ivan's symptoms were the mildest, and Frederick could roughly deduce the sequence of transmissions among them. It was clear that Mary infected Nigel, who then passed it to Kimberly, then finally passed it to Ivan. Frederick also saw that Ivan was actually a decent person who unfortunately ended up being betrayed and infected. However, Nigel was primarily worried that Ivan might start trusting Frederick, as he wanted Ivan to believe in his capabilities to carry out his plan.Originally, he intended for Mary to insult Frederick for being poor and unskilled, but she ended up attacking him for having an unpleasant odor, which backfired when Frederick exposed her for contracting syphilis. Now, Nigel had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, he then said to Frederick, "Hehe, Frederick. We all know Ivy is a director, what exactly do you do to be worthy of her?"Nigel assumed that Frederick was just a low-level salesperson, something

    Hearing Frederick's words, Kimberly jumped with joy and stopped crying. While wiping her tears, she pointed at Mary, laughing and said, "You're covered in syphilis, yet you're making fun of me.""Slut, I wonder how many people you've slept with!" After being pointed and insulted, Mary was furious and she was ready to fight Kimberly. "You bitch! I am going to teach you a lesson!" At this moment, Nigel felt terrible. If Mary was diseased, he'd be the first victim. He grabbed Mary and shouted, "Bitch, let me teach you a lesson first. Now I know why you always wanted the lights off! I thought you were shy, but you just didn't want me to find out."In a fit of anger, Nigel slapped Mary hard across the face. Just as Mary was about to explain, she was interrupted by another slap. Holding her face, she yelled angrily, "Nigel, how dare you hit me?! Do you want me to expose all your little schemes and tricks?"Nigel froze in horror; if Mary exposed him, it would have been disastrous.

    Kimberly heard her laughter, and body odor had always been a sensitive issue for her; a wound she'd tried to cover up over the years. For Frederick to bring it up in front of everyone felt like rubbing salt into an open wound. Yet what hurt even more was Mary's laughter; as a fellow woman, it felt like salt to the wound, then roasting it. Kimberly was furious, pointed at Mary and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you want me to come over there and shut you up?"Mary felt wronged, she had only let out a reflexive laugh, but now Kimberly's anger was directed at her. "Did I laugh at you? What proof do you have that I laughed at you?""You're the one with body odor, yet you're taking it out on others. You're such an unreasonable woman!"Kimberly grew even angrier after hearing Mary's retort. "You're the one with body odor, your whole family has it!" "Look at what you're wearing, it's like you just threw on two pillowcases. You're a shameless woman, just trying to show off t

    When everyone heard Ivy's words, they laughed even more. Her words effectively confirmed that Frederick did indeed have an unpleasant odor. It wasn't entirely her fault as Kimberly's words had been a bit of a trap. "Haha, if you smell, just take a shower and don't embarrass yourself here.""With all that cheap stuff on, no wonder he has a smell."Hearing this, Frederick simply gave a slight smile and then asked Mary and Kimberly, "Are two really that fragrant?"Mary and Kimberly lifted their heads proudly after hearing Frederick's words. "Why don't you ask everyone here, ask them if we smell good or not?""Exactly, go ahead and ask."Both of them considered themselves beautiful, and of course, they would smell pleasant. The men around them quickly chimed in, especially those eager to admire Mary, who was dressed in a way that gave them a bit of eye candy. "Of course, they smell good. How could these two beautiful ladies not smell good?""Hehe, Frederick with his cheap, th

    In a hidden corner, Nigel said to Mary, "Damn it, that bumpkin Frederick keeps stealing my spotlight. I am worried that our plan won't go well later.""You should help me humiliate him properly, and Ivan's girlfriend will back you up."Mary pursed her lips and said to Nigel, "Every time something comes up, you just ask me to handle it. My bag hasn't been bought yet, and you've lost 300 thousand dollars"Although Nigel was annoyed by Mary hitting a sore spot, he kept his tone calm and replied, "Help me humiliate Frederick and talk him down in front of Ivan. After that, leave the rest to me. Once it's done, I'll get you more than one bag, I could get you ten bags and it wouldn't be a problem. I don't care about that small amount of money. You saw that Porsche just now, right? I wouldn't mind burning it if I had to." Hearing this, Mary was delighted and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, babe." She hadn't realized that Nigel was so wealthy and even had a Porsche. Up until th

    Knowing Martin as someone who knew a lot about wood, everyone immediately looked as though they were ready for a good show. They were convinced that the Saint George statue couldn’t possibly be made of anything valuable.Martin let out a strange exclamation. "What the hell!"Kimberly, thinking that Martin was angry, quickly said, "Mr. Lawson, tell us what’s so disastrous about this wood. Are you saying it’s just a piece of junk?"Contrary to expectations, Martin replied angrily, "I’m saying that whoever preserved this Saint George statue was a jerk. This is genuine sandalwood, and yet it’s completely neglected, covered in dust."Most of the group had no idea what sandalwood was worth, but judging by the name alone, it sounded impressive.Kimberly asked curiously, "Mr. Lawson, are you saying this is really antique wood?"Martin examined the statue carefully, scrutinizing every detail. "Judging by the texture, this carving must have been made at least 150 years ago."Everyone was

    "The Saint George statue was indeed a fitting choice for a karaoke." Nigel chuckled, turning to Ivy.“Why didn’t you just go on Amazon and buy a new one for a few dozen bucks? This one is obviously second-hand. Or was it picked up from some junk stall?”Frederick heard Nigel’s mockery and nodded in agreement, a faint smile on his lips. “You’re not wrong. This statue actually was picked up from a street stall.”“At the Treasure Hall in the antique trade market, no less. And yes, it’s an antique.”The truth was, the statue was from the Victorian era. Even the owner of Treasure Hall, Dominic, had recognized its age but dismissed it as worthless, tossing it onto a stall outside.Frederick had picked it up casually, thinking it would come in handy one day, and now it was the perfect gift for Ivan.Hearing this, Nigel burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. “An antique? Treasure Hall? You’re really trying to fool us.”Kimberly chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she glance

    The group’s attention was fully captured by Frederick’s words, their eyes all on him. Nigel, knowing that Kimberly had informed Ivy at the last minute and that she likely didn’t have a gift, sneered at Frederick."Well, if you’ve got a gift, go ahead and show it.""Considering Ivy and Kimberly’s relationship, the gift should be pretty decent, right?"Everyone was now staring at Frederick with anticipation, curious to see what kind of gift he could produce.Ivy, on the other hand, was completely flustered. She hadn’t handed any gift to Frederick, though she understood he was trying to help her out of a tough spot. But wasn’t this making things even more awkward?Nigel continued to press him, "Where’s the gift? Come on, take it out already.""After all this time, you still can’t take it out. Don’t tell me you don’t even have one."Frederick glanced at Nigel with a calm smile. "Oh? Are you planning to bet 300 grand with me again?"Nigel froze. There was no way he had another 300 t

    Ivan was deeply moved, feeling as though all the unpleasantness from their school days had been swept away. A sense of childhood nostalgia, unique to old classmates, welled up within him.The crowd continued to shower Nigel with praise, giving him thumbs up one after another."A gift worth 10 grand is no small amount. Nigel is truly generous.""That’s right. These days, even classmates hesitate to prepare gifts, but Nigel has shown such generosity.."Most of the attendees had come because of their connection with Kimberly. Each had prepared gifts with costs ranging from a few hundred dollars. Compared to Nigel’s grandiose gift worth 10 thousand, their contributions paled in comparison.Hearing the compliments, Nigel waved his hand dismissively, feigning modesty. "It’s nothing, really. After all, Ivan and I are good friends from way back."Then, Nigel’s expression shifted slightly as he added, "Speaking of good friends, I’m sure it’s not just me and Ivan here who share a special b
