"I walked in, of course." The black-clothed man shrugged nonchalantly, smiling.Donovan's palms were sweaty as he hurriedly introduced the newcomer. "Mr. Campbell, this is Mr. Z! He's quite the capable man!""I don't care if you're Mr. Z or Mr. Y, or whatever. This is my family's territory, and you didn't even bother to give a heads-up. Hah! Looking down on people, aren't you?" Timothy's eyes burned with anger. "And who said you could meet my gaze?"As soon as he spoke, he surged toward Mr. Z like lightning.Just as his fist was about to connect, Mr. Z effortlessly stopped him with a single finger. That small finger acted like a massive iron lock, pressing heavily on Timothy's shoulder."Perfect control of Bathos prowess. That's quite impressive! Truly worthy of being the heir of the Great Four Warrior Clans!" Mr. Z grinned, staring at Timothy with an air of insight.Timothy took several steps back, his eyes wide. This man...was stronger than himself—and not just by a little bi
"At the Northern Frontier? Of course, I was protecting our country," Frederick responded without hesitation. Undoubtedly, those years at the Northern Frontier were the most memorable in his life. He killed many people but also made many friends, earning the title of the guardian deity of Drakonia's northern gate."You must have had a high position in the Northern Frontier army, right? I heard they have ranks like War God, War King, War Marshal in their military system, and so on... What rank were you?" Jasmine asked curiously.Frederick pondered for a moment, and shook his head. "None of those."As Hades, the Dark Monarch, he stood far above the military hierarchy. Even War Gods were mere minions by his side.Jasmine was taken aback, somewhat disappointed. If he wasn't any of those ranks, did that mean he wasn't even a War Marshal? But if that were the case, how could he single-handedly make Glen kneel and even have the Tsarina bow down to him obediently? There must be more t
"If you're going to save someone, do it seriously. Stop messing around!" Willa's voice was sharp. "No matter how good your medical skills are, if you’re this erratic, I can't respect you!"Melanie frowned deeply. "I’ve never heard my master mention any instances of using tobacco as medicine."Typically, tobacco was used as a sedative in medicine. However, Helena's condition definitely wouldn't benefit from a sedative.Charles chuckled. "I get it! Mr. Lester is joking with us. He just wants some cigarettes to smoke. Someone, get him ten packs of Merboro!"To the Harrisons, this small expense was negligible.Derek quickly fetched ten packs of Merboro and handed them to Frederick.But Frederick didn’t take them. Instead, he said seriously, "Hand them out to everyone who smokes, and tell them to smoke as much as they can. And close the windows and doors! Don’t let any smoke escape! If you want to save your daughter, you’ll do as I say!"Everyone was stunned. "He was serious?!""R
“That explains why she was talking nonsense and acting so strangely before,” Frederick continued.He swiftly sealed the jar containing the parasites, and tucked it into his bag. The Skybane Parasite was a powerful weapon, effective even against seasoned warriors.“Cough, cough!” Helena sputtered, then looked around in confusion. “Grandpa! Why am I here? What happened?”Charles immediately rushed to Helena and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down his face. “Lena! You’re really okay? You’re safe now!”His overwhelming joy and relief nearly caused him to faint from the emotional strain on his heart and lungs.Willa stood there, jaw practically on the floor. Could such a bizarre treatment actually work? It defied everything she understood about medicine!Frederick chuckled. “Captain Zephyr, in the future, I hope you refrain from commenting on things you don’t understand. It’s quite embarrassing when you end up proven wrong.”Willa’s face alternated between different shades fro
"I didn't expect someone with such high medical skills like you to fall for it. The wine was already laced with my colorless, odorless Mind Tranquilizer! Once you touch it, you're at my mercy for at least twelve hours!" Melanie smirked triumphantly. "So, in terms of medical skills, I'm the winner!"Melanie didn't care about appearances. She was a devout fanatic when it came to medicine. She would do anything to push her medical skills to the pinnacle, even if it meant sacrificing her own body!"Now, you have to get into bed with me for me to fully control you!" Leading Frederick, Melanie took him to a nearby hotel, where she had already booked a double-bed room. Pink curtains, warm pendant lights—everything was set to create the perfect atmosphere."Now, darling, it's time to undress!" Melanie removed her clothes, leaving only a lacy white corset. Her long, smooth legs crossed at the foot of the bed. With her hair coiled up, her exquisite features, and seductive gaze, she lo
Melanie couldn't believe her eyes. "T-That's…!"In the photo, Frederick was dressed in a purple robe. Beside him was an old man with thinning hair, happily holding a washbasin for him. It was none other than one of the top ten medical sages of Drakonia—the Holistic Healer, and her respected master!"It can't be! This must be photoshopped! I don't believe it!" Melanie protested hysterically.How could the revered Holistic Healer be seen humbly carrying a washbasin for Frederick, a man younger than him? It completely shattered Melanie's image of her master as a solemn and dignified figure!Frederick smirked. "Don't believe it? I still have his phone number on my phone. Do you want to hear what he has to say?"With a flick of his finger, Melanie heard the unmistakably familiar voice on the other end of the line."Oh! If it isn't Lord Hades, the Dark Monarch? I was wondering why today felt so auspicious. Turns out it's because you were going to reach out to me!" Gregory's flattery
The other two men were now pale with fear; they finally understood how terrifying Frederick truly was!Timothy sent them here and told them it was just to deal with a small fry…But this guy? He was a demon! Even Buddha would piss his pants at the sight of him!One of them raised his hand. "I’ll talk, but I have conditions!" Frederick looked up. "Oh, really?"He smashed the man’s head with a single slap; blood and brains splattered everywhere."Trying to bargain with me? Your life isn’t worth a single hair on my leg, and you think you can make demands?" Frederick sneered.The last man standing was drenched in his companions’ blood, shaking in terror. His legs were trembling as he stammered, "I-I’ll talk! No conditions! Just spare my life!""Alright," Frederick replied.The man swallowed hard. "Actually, Master Timothy’s real target isn’t you, it’s Jennifer! He’s interested in your medical skills and wants to capture you for research. This way, he can weaken Prospera Corporati
"Because I've heard Mr. Z's name," Frederick said, sending the man to his death with a single palm strike.So, it really was someone from Organization V. These guys just wouldn’t quit! As soon as he had the chance, Frederick would deal with Mr. Z.Behind him, Melanie was still in shock, her body covered in a sheen of sweat. Her eyes now sparkled with admiration and affection.Frederick was incredibly strong! Was this the true power of the legendary Dark Monarch, Hades?"Lord Hades, you saved me! From now on, my life and my people are yours to command!" Melanie said, swaying her alluring figure and looking at him with adoration.Frederick replied with a small smile, "I do have something for you to do. I need all the information on the Campbell family within three days.""No problem! Leave it to me!" she said, twisting her seductive hips as she eagerly accepted the task.Frederick then found a secluded place to refine the Earthbane Parasite. The Skybane Parasite and the Earthban
