In an instant, the entire room froze.

Joshua's smile turned into a grimace of embarrassment.

"Mr. Loder, you must be joking! If it wasn't for my sake, why would you kill members of the Lester family? Is it because of that piece of crap, Frederick?"

Slap!

As soon as Joshua finished speaking, Glen's hand came down hard. The blow sent Joshua spinning on the spot. He saw stars, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

The crisp sound of the slap startled Stella and Malcolm. Their bodies trembled as they stared in disbelief.

What was happening? Glen was hitting Joshua? Didn't he step up to kill the Lesters for Joshua's sake?

"S-sir, why...?" Joshua, bloodied and dazed, struggled to comprehend the situation.

"Calling Mr. Lester crap? You, a mere worm, dare to insult someone as great as him?!" Glen roared, his anger uncontainable. "Even I have to bend over backward for him! You ants really don't know your place!"

His words were like thunder, leaving everyone stunned and speechles

    Upon hearing this, Jennifer's face fell, and she slumped into her seat."Should we try contacting them again?" Jasmine asked with a worried expression."For what? If they're not answering our calls, it can only mean one thing—they've taken Campbell Pharmaceutical's call!" Jennifer sighed in defeat.After all the years of careful planning in the pharmaceutical market at Prospera Corporation, it was now on the brink of collapse. This would severely impact the group's revenue, and could even have chain reactions."Also, Campbell Pharmaceutical's official product launch is scheduled for ten days from now," Jasmine added. "They're not giving us any breathing room!""Our best course of action now is to launch our own new product before theirs hits the market. But developing a new pharmaceutical product requires billions of dollars in investment, and it's unlikely we'll be able to develop something that can compete with Campbell Pharmaceutical in such a short time," Jennifer said."Ms.

    After Jennifer left, Jasmine didn't waste any time. She quickly arranged a product launch event for Frederick. The timing was exactly the same as Campbell Pharmaceutical.This news spread like a timed bomb, and exploded instantly.At Campbell Pharmaceutical headquarters, Mr. Z sat on the sofa. Timothy, the chairman of Campbell Pharmaceutical, could only stand by and serve him tea."Sir, I heard that Prospera Corporation is also planning a product launch event, and it's scheduled at the same time as ours! Could Jennifer have some last-minute trick up her sleeve?" Timothy said.Mr. Z smirked coldly. "Afraid already? With such cowardice, do you think you still stand a chance with Jennifer? My insiders at Prospera Corporation tell me that when news of the new drug broke today, their entire company practically came to a standstill. She’s just bluffing!" he declared confidently."Insiders? Sir, what level of insider are they? They even help us get hold of the formula!" Timothy asked e

    Frederick blinked. Then, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I get it. Everyone has their own struggles in life."Eva let out a sigh of relief, and smiled gently. "Your team might still need an accountant, right?"Frederick replied without hesitation, "Yes.""I used to work in the group's finance department as a senior accountant, so I should be able to handle it.""That's great! Eva, you've really helped me out!"With someone onboard and the financial aspect sorted, everything seemed set and just awaiting the final touch.But then, Samuel stormed over, scowling and muttering under his breath, "Dammit! Bullies acting all high and mighty!"Frederick furrowed his brows. "Who are you cursing?" Startled, Samuel hurriedly explained, "Not you, Mr. Lester. I'm talking about those new colleagues from the medical department who just joined our team. They act like they're better than everyone else!"Samuel's face was flushed with anger. As the deputy team leader of Team Seven, he found h

    "You idiot!" The group pointed at Frederick, and cursed loudly."Didn't your parents teach you not to point fingers at others for no reason?" Frederick looked up lazily and grabbed the finger of one of them, breaking it instantly."Argh!" His victim screamed in agony, bending over in spasms.Seeing this scene, the mocking voices came to an immediate stop. Everyone in the group was wide-eyed with shock.Frederick said casually, "Did I invite you here? Don't take yourselves too seriously. I came to find helpers, not people who expect to be idolized or pampered. If you don't want to stay, then leave!""What's going on?" Jasmine rushed in upon hearing the commotion."Ms. Smith! We're quitting this team! No matter who comes here, it’s useless!"The group was about to explode with anger, and quickly filed their complaints to Jasmine."This team is a mess! They're doomed to fail sooner or later!""Don't get your hopes up. With these losers, none of whom have a medical background, w

    "What? You haven't made it yet?" His statement was a bucket of cold water over everyone's heads. Everyone was stunned."Frederick! What have you been doing for these seven days?!" Jasmine's chest heaved with anger."I've been meditating and sleeping." Frederick stretched lazily. "I slept pretty well!"Everyone's jaws almost dropped to the floor. So this guy spent the past seven days just sleeping?!"This is outrageous!" Jasmine was furious, her eyes wide with disbelief. "How could you do this to us? You deceived the whole team!"What’s more, she had already announced the press conference seven days ago. If word got out now, it would cause a huge stir in the entire corporation! Jennifer might even get implicated. Perhaps Jasmine shouldn't have trusted Frederick from the start. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"I'm done with you! Sink or swim on your own!" Jasmine said sternly, her face showing her frustration as she turned to leave.But then, Frederick su

    "More importantly, the Frosted Silk Powder can automatically adjust body proportions according to an individual's body structure. After using it for a treatment, there's a 90% chance of achieving the golden body ratio!" Frederick went on, smiling."Plus, this new product also has the function of relieving body heat and replenishing blood, just like traditional medicine. It's almost harmless to the body, and has no side effects," he added.His words sparked heated discussions among the crowd."A new product with no side effects? Wow! I don't think we've ever seen that in the medical history of Mirage City!""Exactly! Even the most powerful pharmaceutical companies here only dare to claim their signature products have less than 8% trace side effects!""Not even Campbell Pharmaceutical! Their new products have at least over 20% side effects!"Even Eva, who was now in charge of their finances, was excited as she reported, "And that's not all! I just calculated the cost of the medicin

    "Hey! Frederick, I can walk on my own!" Jasmine screamed in fright, but Frederick paid no attention. With one hand holding her waist and the other supporting her hip, he marched straight to the company's parking lot. He opened the car door, and tossed Jasmine inside. "Ms. Smith, you sit in the passenger seat. I'll drive!"Frederick slid into the driver's seat, placing his hands on the steering wheel. "You're so rough!" Jasmine's eyes were wide, and her mouth was pressed into a thin line in annoyance. Secretly, she felt a tinge of excitement. Frederick had carried her! It was her first time being this close to him! It felt like she had given away her first kiss. Unfortunately, Frederick's mind was solely focused on Jennifer's safety, and he didn't notice Jasmine's reaction. He simply said, "Buckle up!"In an instant, Jasmine's BMW Mini shot out at a terrifying speed. The air was filled with her piercing screams. "Ahhh!"-In Northern Aston, the Zephyr family's territor

    Jennifer couldn't contain her anger anymore. "Even an idiot has limits. Timothy, don't push it too far. Even if we can't beat you, we'll make you pay dearly!"Prospera Corporation was a big player in the pharmaceutical world. Even if they couldn't defeat their rivals, they could at least make them suffer a great loss!Caleb chuckled. "Mr. Campbell, did you hear that? Ms. York isn't someone to be trifled with. If your families go head-to-head, you'll both lose out and others will benefit. It's better to shake hands and split Mirage City's market. That's the best option!"Ms. York already told me that, as a gesture of goodwill, she's willing to hand over 70% of the market and profits."Upon hearing this, Timothy sneered. "70%? Seems like you're really scared. I'm fine with negotiating, but you have to finish this bottle of wine in front of me!"He pushed a 500ml bottle of white wine towards Jennifer. "Drink it all in one go! If there's even a drop left, we won't talk! Otherwise,

    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
