Seiryu said seriously, "My lord, it seems Atticus Lester has connections with some big shots in the Imperial Capital. Should we send them word?"

"Hmm? Seiryu, do you know what you're saying?" Frederick glanced at him.

Seiryu instantly felt a chill down his spine, and dropped to his knees. "I apologize, my lord! I forgot..."

He forgot that Hades the Dark Monarch never needed to inform anyone about his actions. When he wanted to kill, he did. No reason was needed—the desire to kill was reason enough!

"Alright, you may go. Keep investigating," Frederick instructed. "Next time, be careful not to reveal your presence. It attracts too much attention. Luckily I covered for you in time, or there would have been trouble!"

"Yes, my lord!" Seiryu said, and disappeared.

At the entrance of the Lester estate, Jennifer was about to leave when a voice suddenly called out behind her.

"Ms. Jennifer, why are you in such a hurry? Did you have an argument with my cousin?"

    Adler's ears started bleeding, and blood poured out of them like a fountain. His entire body was flung backward and slammed hard against the wall, leaving a trail of blood on the floor.The servants turned pale with fear. "Master Adler!" Frederick withdrew his hands calmly, scooped Jennifer into his arms, and kicked away several more servants."Are you tired of living? Have you gotten so used to messing with others' women that you dared come after mine?" Frederick sneered. He had suspected Adler's sneaky behavior, and had been on alert."You bastard! How dare you defy me! I’m your cousin!" Adler screamed.He was sprawled on the ground, furious and in intense pain. He was unable to get up, and realized his bones were broken. How could this be? He was a Savant Grandmaster! How could Frederick send him flying with just one slap?!Frederick sauntered over, not even sparing him a glance. "Didn't I warn you? That if you bark at me again, I'll crush your skull?"Jennifer was panti

    "Who did this?"Seeing Adler's bloodied lower body, Atticus was furious. He usually tolerated the younger generation's scheming and fighting within the family, believing that moderate competition fostered excellence. However, he would never tolerate deadly violence.Frederick stood tall and unflinching. "I did."Atticus's face darkened to an extreme. "Was it on purpose, or an accident?" "I did it on purpose. He touched my wife! Shouldn't he be punished? I spared his life out of respect for you, Grandpa," Frederick said with a cold, mocking smile.Tyrell's eyes bulged with rage. "Father! Did you hear that? This boy is utterly without morals! He treats lives like they're nothing, and he acts as if he's the real master of the family!"Barrett sneered. "You can't say that, Tyrell. Your precious son brought this on himself by messing with someone’s wife. It's called karma!""Barrett, haven’t you had your share of affairs with married women? Don't act all high and mighty now!" Tyre

    Jennifer was in a state of panic, and clutched Frederick's sleeve tightly. She was utterly terrified, unable to utter a single word. Was she really so insignificant and worthless in the eyes of these powerful figures?Sylvia was equally pale. She stammered, "F-Fred, this... I..."Her mind was in turmoil, and she was unable to think clearly. Atticus's condition was one that anyone would find hard to refuse. The only price to pay was giving up Jennifer.Tyrell and Barrett were seething with jealousy, but dared not voice any objections. Defying Atticus in such a serious matter would only lead to a terrible end, even for his own sons—as had happened with the former Lester family heir, Cyrus.Meanwhile, Adler, despite his pain, staggered to his feet and laughed maniacally."Hahaha! I like this deal! That woman is mine! I'll have her serve me day and night—not just me, but my father, my brothers, and my subordinates... We'll share her around! Frederick, don't worry. I'll make sure to

    Atticus was furious. He was practically shaking with rage."Father! Just give the word, and all of our family's Savant Grandmasters will tear this rebellious wretch to pieces!" Tyrell declared in a low voice.In an instant, over a hundred Savant Grandmasters stood at the ready. They formed an overwhelming dark mass that blotted out the sun. Sylvia and Jennifer were paralyzed with fear, completely overwhelmed. This was the true power of an ancient warrior clan—when a strong individual was angered, many lives could be lost. In such a moment, wealth, honor, status, and power meant nothing."Frederick, just give me to them!" Jennifer finally said after a long hesitation, her voice resolute. One life lost was better than everyone dying."Hand you over? Never. If they want to fight, then let's fight!" Frederick replied calmly, cracking his knuckles. "What good are numbers? They're just a bunch of worthless chickens and dogs!"Tyrell laughed, and spat angrily, "One hundred and thirty

    The situation had taken unexpected turns, and even Jennifer's perception of Frederick underwent a visible change."Jen, are you alright? You didn't get hurt, did you?" Sylvia asked with concern. Her words thawed Jennifer's icy demeanor, turning her uneasy. Jennifer had never imagined having the need to navigate around a mother-in-law before."Madam... I mean, Mom. I rushed out today, and didn't bring any gifts. Here's two hundred thousand. Use it for tea or buy something for yourself," Jennifer said, trying to lighten the mood as she handed Sylvia a bank card. "If it's not enough, let me know, and I'll transfer more money to you."Sylvia quickly pushed away Jennifer's hand. "How could I take your money? Jen, don't worry about me. I make enough to support myself. The most important thing is for you two to get along and give me a cute grandchild soon. I dream of holding my grandchild in my arms!" she said with a warm smile.Jennifer trembled slightly, astonished. "A grandchild?"

    "A high school reunion?" Frederick furrowed his brows. He genuinely had no idea. After the college entrance exam, he joined the military in the Northern Frontier and cut off contact with most of his high school classmates.But to Stella and Malcolm, his reaction meant something else entirely.Stella quipped, "Seriously? How come our class's top student didn't get notified about a reunion?"Malcolm put his arm around Stella's waist, giving her a mischievous squeeze. "Top student? That's ancient history! Past glory means nothing now!He smirked. "Frederick, did you vanish after the exam because you failed and were too embarrassed to show your face? Couldn't even get into a community college, huh?" Frederick replied flatly, "I don't owe anyone an explanation for my choices."In truth, his exam scores were exceptional. He even received offers from top universities like Clear North University. They had secretly sent a representative to tell him that he could enroll in the universit

    The crowd paused, their disdain and contempt growing stronger in their eyes. Looking for food as soon as he walked in? He’s hopeless! How could the former top student have fallen so low?Only one woman, with a gentle face and minimal makeup, handed him a plate of snacks. She whispered, "You can eat this to fill your stomach for now."Frederick recognized her as his former desk mate, Jade Hawkins. She had confessed her feelings to him before, but he had politely declined, and she graciously accepted being friends. In their final year of high school, they studied hard together for the college entrance exam, spending some wonderful moments together.After graduation, Frederick realized he had developed some feelings for Jade. But by then, it was too late."Thanks, Jade," Frederick said with a faint smile.Jade smiled, though she looked somewhat regretful. "Are you doing well now?""Fairly well. I think things are okay," Frederick replied. He never expected that among his forme

    "Frederick, how much did you say was in this?" Jade asked. She thought her ears were playing tricks on her."Fifty billion," Frederick said casually.Everyone stood up, as if electrified, and burst into laughter."Damn! Frederick, were you stupid when you were in school? Do you even know what fifty billion means?""The GDP of Mirage City for a whole year doesn't even add up to fifty billion! If you asked Mirage City's richest man, Derek, for that amount, he'd probably go bankrupt overnight!"Joshua took a harsh drag from his cigarette. "Frederick, it's fine if you're broke, but stop talking rubbish. We might still consider you a decent person.""Fifty billion! You're great at making up stories! Hahaha!" Stella couldn't stop laughing. "Oh, Frederick. Who would've thought that after struggling at the bottom of society for years, you've picked up the bad habit of boasting like a bottom-feeder instead of keeping yourself grounded!"Malcolm narrowed his eyes. "Ah, Stella, can you bel

    Heston was still scoffing when he received a call from Giovanni.He was taken aback, and he nervously glanced at Frederick. 'No way…'The moment he picked up the phone, he got a torrent of scolding.Meanwhile, a bloody power struggle was underway in the Imperial Capital.After the Conservatives took down Woody, their ambition surged. They now aimed to dismantle the entire Radicals faction. Though the Radicals had already compromised in the Woody affair, they were taken aback by the Conservatives' greed and refused to back down any further.A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, quickly escalating into open warfare. The entire Imperial Capital was placed under lockdown, with martial law in effect. Gunfire and smoke filled the air as both sides clashed, and the violence soon spread across Drakonia. Armies from all regions were mobilized, and a war was about to erupt. At this critical moment, the First Elder woke up.Years ago, after deposing the Dark Monarch of

    Senspiras, located in the southeast of Drakonia, was also a neighboring country of Drakonia. It also has the largest population of overseas Drakonians. Many of the wealthy families in Senspiras migrated from Drakonia within the past century or two. The current richest man in Senspiras was one such example."Is Mr. Stone your father?" Frederick raised an eyebrow and asked."Looks like you've got some sense! Name your price!" Heston smirked, and pulled out a checkbook.Frederick's expression darkened."Your dad's assets are not even enough to wipe my shoes. Who do you think you are, pretending to be a big shot? Get lost!"Frederick quickly realized that Heston was just a spoiled brat who would throw money around bullying people. Since he wasn't much of a real threat, Frederick wasn't bothered by dealing with him. Upon hearing Frederick's words, Heston was stunned. "Are you out of your mind? My dad is the richest man in Senspiras! How dare you belittle him?" “So what? Your enti

    Sylvia had so many questions. She wanted to know what Frederick had been doing to provoke such dangerous enemies. She wanted to know if Frederick had really killed a hundred people. She wanted to understand how her son had gained such abilities. And most of all, she wondered if Frederick had been living this kind of disturbing life all these years."Mom, we'll talk about it when we get home," Frederick said, gently lifting Sylvia and leaving the company.On the way, Frederick lightly tapped on Sylvia's head, and she quickly fell unconscious. He had used a special method to erase part of her memory.When they arrived home, Sylvia slowly woke up."Fred! Why are you suddenly home?" Sylvia exclaimed in surprise when she saw Frederick."I'm about to go on a long trip, so I came to visit. Why are you sleeping on the couch instead of in your room?" Frederick smiled.Sylvia sat up from the couch, feeling a bit stiff and sore."I was talking to your sister on the phone. How did I

    "Yes, it was me. If no one managed to escape, the entire Steinfields family—except for children under sixteen and elders over seventy—should be dead by now," Frederick said with a smirk.If he didn't deter the Steinfields with a show of force, others might try the same methods against him in the future.Hearing this, Kaizer's face went blank and terror filled his eyes. At that moment, Frederick's phone rang. It was Melanie calling. Frederick answered, and put the call on speaker. "How did it go? Tell me, so Kaizer here can hear," Frederick said."There were a hundred and seventy-three Steinfields. Fifty-two were children and elders. The remaining hundred have all been executed!" Melanie reported. Kaizer spat out a mouthful of blood in shock. "No way! We're the Steinfields! The Steinfields of Imperial Capital! How could this happen?"In a panic, Kaizer fumbled with his phone, trying to call his family. However, every call he made went unanswered."You'll find out for sure onc

    "Let her go!"A sharp voice rang out.Kaizer instinctively turned around, and he was stunned by Nella's beauty. He couldn't believe someone like her existed."Nella, why did you come down?" Jasmine called out, her eyes widened in panic. She had specifically told them not to come down.Nella trembled in fear. "Ms. Smith, we were worried about you!"Though she was terrified, she still stepped forward. She couldn't just stand by and watch Jasmine get assaulted."Well, well, Frederick sure is lucky with women. But now, they're all mine. Who would've thought that I'd be blessed with a feast before leaving Drakonia!" Kaizer was practically drooling.He let go of Jasmine, and rushed toward Nella eagerly. Nella backed away step by step, but soon found herself cornered."Haha, come to me!" Kaizer spread his arms wide, lunging toward Nella.Just as he was about to grab her, a thunderous crash shook the room. The outer wall of the building crumbled down.Frederick had burst through it a

    Meanwhile, Frederick had just gotten off the plane. As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw a long list of missed calls from Selene.He immediately felt uneasy. Selene would never call him so many times unless something urgent had happened.He was about to call her back when his phone rang again.Frederick answered Selene's call quickly, but before he could ask anything, Selene's tearful voice came through."Fred, Mom's been kidnapped!"Frederick's face darkened instantly, and his killing aura surged."Alright. Don't worry, Mom will be fine."With that, Frederick hung up the phone; he then immediately called Melanie, who was still in the Imperial Capital, lazily lounging in bed."Do you have any intelligence on the Steinfields in the Imperial Capital?" Frederick asked through gritted teeth.He didn't need much thought to figure out who was behind this. There was hardly anyone left in Mirage City bold enough to cross him, except for Kaizer. And now, Sylvia had been kidnapped

    When the elevator doors opened, Jasmine stepped out into the lobby.Kaizer's eyes lit up as he eyed her from head to toe. Though he had seen pictures of her before, she was more of an eye candy in person. Kaizer, holding his rifle, approached her. "Ms. Smith, you certainly kept me waiting!""What do you want with me?" Jasmine asked coldly. She knew that showing fear or vulnerability would only embolden these lawless men."Ms. Smith, why don't you take a guess?" Kaizer reached for Jasmine and lifted her chin with the barrel of his gun, forcing her to look at him.Jasmine met his gaze without a hint of fear."Is it money you want? The company has ten million in cash reserves. You can take it, and I guarantee I won't call the police. We can pretend nothing ever happened as long as no one is hurt. As for the funds in the company’s accounts, you wouldn’t be able to take it even if I transfer the money to you with today’s financial systems," Jasmine spoke calmly."Ms. Smith, you're q

    Bang!With a loud crash, the door was violently kicked open. Kaizer and his men stormed into Frederick’s place.Sylvia was startled, and she shouted, "What do you guys want?" "We're here to kidnap you!" Kaizer strode toward Sylvia. Then, he snatched away her phone and crushed it."Tie her up and take her away!" Kaizer and his men acted quickly. Selene, on the other end of the video call, was shocked by the strangers. Fortunately, she was still on alert. She quickly tried to call Frederick while shaking with fear. However, Frederick’s phone was off since he was on a flight."How’s everything going on your end?" Kaizer asked his men over the phone."We’ve rigged all four walls of Aerowind Enterprise with high-powered explosives. Once we detonate them, the whole building will turn to ashes," his subordinate reported.A smile finally appeared on Kaizer’s face. "Good, I’m heading over now." Soon, Kaizer arrived at Aerowind Enterprise with a backpack."I want to see Ms. Sm

    Upon hearing Frederick’s words, Woody stumbled. "Take him away!" one of the senior officials from the Supervision Department ordered.The respected elder of the Drakonia Royal Court, Woody, was escorted away along with the evidence and witnesses."After today, the Lamberts will cease to exist, and you're finally free." Frederick sighed in relief, and smiled at Easton.Easton looked slightly lost. He wasn’t sure what to do next with his sudden freedom. "What's wrong? Struggling to find a new purpose in life?" Frederick teased.Easton nodded, and replied, "Yeah, my ambitions have been completely worn down these three years. I feel a bit aimless.""Should I find you a job?" Frederick suggested casually."It’s best if I could work for you, Mr. Lester!" Easton’s eyes lit up with excitement."I have a pharmaceutical company under me. If you're interested, you could take the position of Chief of Biomedical Engineering," Frederick said jokingly. To his surprise, Easton was genuinely
