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
Frederick dared to cause trouble at the Lex residence. However, Jacob not only didn't have him thrown to feed the crocodiles, but he even said he admired him.At this moment, Scarlett, who had been holding her breath, finally relaxed. If Jacob had suddenly attacked, she wouldn't have been able to stop him.Frederick paid no attention to the crowd but instead said indifferently to Scarlett, "Lead the way. We've wasted enough time."Scarlett quickly led Frederick toward the second floor.As soon as they stepped onto the second floor, a commotion erupted downstairs, accompanied by a loud voice."Damn it! Where's that brat? And where's that bitch? Get out here!"Frederick followed the voice and saw Fabian with four or five black-clad bodyguards from the Lex family walking up.Upon seeing Frederick, Fabian smugly said to the bodyguards, "That's him. He beat me up."He dares to fight at the Lex residence, clearly thinking that Uncle Tyger is sick and no one in the Lex family can stop
A loud slap echoed through the air.With tremendous force, Fabian was sent flying, and he crashed heavily into a nearby wall.Everyone gasped in shock, as Frederick dared to slap Fabian even with the bodyguards present!Fabian struggled to get up from the ground, spitting out blood and a few teeth.Seeing his teeth on the floor, Fabian went mad and shouted at the bodyguards, "Get him! Kill him now!"The bodyguards, however, didn't move as if they hadn't heard Fabian's words.Everyone was confused by the bodyguards' behavior. Only Jacob narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the silver needles on the bodyguards' bodies.Jacob looked at Frederick's back in amazement!Frederick strode forward, grabbed Fabian by the collar, and punched him squarely in the face.Fabian's nose was bloodied, and he was sent flying once more.Frederick showed no intention of letting Fabian off the hook. He pinned Fabian down and rained blows on Fabian's nauseating face."You're so full of crap that yo
Frederick paid no attention to the bodyguards' thoughts and walked into Tyger's bedroom with Scarlett to treat Tyger.No one dared to hinder Frederick at this moment.As Frederick's figure disappeared into the room, Jacob sighed and muttered to himself, "Silver needles sealing acupoints as well as mastery of both medical and martial arts!"When did such an exceptional talent appear in Jenaire City?"In the room, Frederick saw a nearly 60-year-old man lying unconscious on the bed. Although his hair was white, his body was still strong and muscular. He exuded an intimidating presence. This must be Tyger!Scarlett anxiously said, "Mr. York, could you please check on Mr. Lex's condition?"Frederick merely glanced at Tyger and lightly shook his head. "He's not sick! He's been injured by someone!"Scarlett's eyes sparkled with hope as she listened to Frederick's words. Bringing Frederick over here was indeed the right decision. Tyger had suffered a severe injury, so regular doctors co
However, these matters were Scarlett's private affairs. As a doctor, Frederick knew better than to pry any further.Seeing Scarlett was unharmed and that he was back at home, Tyger was relieved and also felt astonished."I'm alive?"Now that Tyger had awakened, Scarlett's worries disappeared, and she returned to her charming self. "Your injury is nothing with my little brother here."She winked playfully at Frederick. "Little brother, you're wonderful! How should I reward you?"Behind her, Tyger quickly said, "Jacob, prepare a check!"Frederick waved his hand dismissively and said to Tyger and Scarlett, "I don't need any reward. Just stick to the agreement we made."I'll come here tomorrow to continue the treatment."With that, Frederick turned to leave.Watching Frederick leave, Scarlett hurriedly chased after him.Outside the villa, she called out to Frederick's retreating figure, sounding like a resentful woman, "Frederick, you're acting like you don't know me after pullin
However, they had chosen this path, and there was no turning back.Just then, Fabian rushed in, his face covered in blood."Uncle Tyger, you're finally awake!"Tyger was still weak. Seeing Fabian's bloodied face, Tyger flew into a rage, "How did you get all these injuries?"Tyger had always been fiercely protective of his nephew.Fabian sobbed as he complained, "Uncle Tyger, someone attacked us while you were sick!"Tyger's eyes widened with fury. "Who?"Seeing Tyger getting angry, Fabian quickly added, "It was that doctor who just left!"He then pointed at Scarlett and said, "It was this wretched woman who brought that doctor here to cause chaos."Tyger's expression turned grim upon hearing this.Scarlett, standing behind him, helplessly rubbed her forehead. Fabian was really an idiot. Not only would Tyger never blame her, but Frederick had just saved Tyger's life—would Tyger ever hurt him for that?As Fabian was about to say something, Tyger harshly slapped him across the
After the bodyguards disposed of Fabian's corpse, Tyger, still fuming, declared, "Anyone who dares disrespect Ms. Samson deserves far worse than death."Jacob leaned in and quietly informed him, "The people in the household have always insulted and spoken ill of Ms. Samson, but she never let me tell you."Tyger was outraged. "What? Those bastards!""Jacob, drive them all away. From now on, I have no such relatives."At this moment, Scarlett intervened. "Uncle Tyger, back then, you offended a powerful enemy for my father's sake. Everyone in your family, except for your youngest son, was slaughtered. Don't drive your relatives away anymore. Moreover, even though they slander me, they actually have helped conceal my identity."Hearing this, Tyger sighed. "Alright, just do as Ms. Samson says."30 years ago, Tyger's entire family was slaughtered, leaving only his youngest son alive. The latter grew to resent him and left to make a life for himself abroad. He had not returned for over
He didn't know when he had become timid, probably after Drake's death.At this moment, Jacob seemed to regain his youthful determination and nodded firmly. "You're right. We shouldn't plan anymore."Scarlett nodded gently. "Although we won't plan, we also won't act hastily. At the very least, let's wait for Uncle Tyger's health to improve."What do you two think about the doctor who visited today?"Tyger quickly said, "He's so young, yet capable of curing the Black Blood Palm. His medical skills are exceptional!"As Tyger had fainted earlier, he hadn't witnessed Frederick's impressive skills. Jacob said calmly, "He's bold and ruthless with extraordinary medical and martial arts expertise."Tyger was stunned. "He practices both medicine and martial arts? How skilled is he in martial arts?"Jacob squinted and said calmly, "He's a rare talent among the youth. Even if we joined forces in our younger days, we wouldn't have been his match. In another five years, he can surpass us."T
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
