Jade should have been able to solve her company's problem with the card Frederick had given her. So, why would she still need to contact him in such an urgent manner?

It was puzzling.

"I'm not sure. But she came looking for us, hoping to get in touch with you. Unfortunately, we didn't have your phone number," Stella said. "I only remembered it because I saw you today."

Frederick said in a low voice, "Here's what I'll do. I'll leave my phone number with you, and you can pass it on to Jade. If there's anything, she can give me a call."

"Okay!" Malcolm and Stella nodded eagerly.

Soon, they were back home.

What puzzled Frederick was that Jennifer remained silent the whole way. She had ignored even his teasing. Her expression was cold, and it remained unchanged all the way.

Was she angry? Was it because he got a little too daring during the wedding photoshoot?

Did she need to react this way? The ice queen's temper seemed to be getting worse!

"Frederick, you're finally back!"

    "Argh! Frederick, stop messing around! I said no!" Jasmine was so scared that her face turned pale. She kept shaking her head, and she trembled violently.Frederick chuckled, and let go of her. "That's more like it. That's the Ms. Smith I know."Jasmine pouted angrily. "You violent maniac! You're always resorting to force at the drop of a hat. I'm worried about you!"Frederick chuckled. "Don't worry—I'm prepared, even if I have to fight your brother.""There you go again. Seriously! I won't care about you anymore," Jasmine said in exasperation, rubbing her temples. Then, she bloomed into an unexpected smile. "By the way, are you free now?""What's up?""There's a big calligraphy exhibition in the southern side of the city today, and I heard many masterpieces by contemporary artists will be displayed. I want to see it, and… I need a bodyguard to protect me."Jasmine winked mischievously.In her spare time, she also liked to practice calligraphy to refine herself. Over time, sh

    Frederick never expected that in just a few years, Lev would rise to become a renowned master. Back then, Frederick even criticized his calligraphy. It was too rigid and lacked depth. It seemed like Lev had overcome that flaw!Frederick's chuckle immediately irked some of the guests around him, who gave him disapproving glares in unison."What's so funny? This is a serious matter, but you dare to laugh out loud! Have you no respect for the masters?" Jasmine anxiously covered Frederick's mouth, bowing apologetically as she stood up to soothe the guests' anger.After calming everyone down, she turned to Frederick with a glare. "Didn't I tell you? This is a serious occasion. Even if you don't care about calligraphy, don't act so recklessly!"Frederick shrugged helplessly. "I'm innocent. I don't look down on calligraphy, I just find this person amusing for some reason.""Lev is a contemporary calligraphy master, and you dare to laugh at him? Clearly, you're clueless!" Jasmine roll

    Jasmine was stunned. "What? Fake? Are you kidding me? How could something auctioned for fifty million be fake?""It's really fake," Frederick said with a slight squint, offering no further explanation.What a joke!How could Frederick not tell if something he wrote was real or fake? Two years ago, he had indeed created a masterpiece like the one on auction now. However, shortly after it was unveiled, it was burned to ashes in a fire. The one before them now should be a copy by some amateur calligrapher, with a hint of their own style. But compared to the authentic piece, it was like comparing clouds to mud!Seeing Frederick's silence, Jasmine frowned in dissatisfaction. "Is that all? So you're just guessing, right? You're saying it's a fake just because you think so? That's absurd!"She glared at Frederick, visibly annoyed. "If you don't understand the elegance of calligraphy, keep quiet and don't ruin my mood."Frederick sensed her anger, and said casually, "Well, you can cons

    The news instantly sent shockwaves through the entire room."The Dark Monarch actually has a fiancée?!""Hades guards the Northern Frontier's borders, while Ms. Yarborough is the daughter of a Northern Frontier aristocratic family. With their talents and backgrounds, it's normal for them to fall in love over time!""No wonder Ms. Yarborough spared no expense to buy Hades's authentic pieces. Who else but a fiancée would go to such lengths?""Wow! Is this what love looks like for the big shots?"Everyone chimed in with their own opinion, each comment dripping with envy.Jasmine was speechless. "I never thought Liana would be the famous Hades's fiancée!"The thought of the man Jennifer had always admired being someone else's fiancé left her with mixed emotions. However, she didn't notice the dark cloud that had settled over Frederick's face beside her.How dare this woman declare herself his fiancee? When had he ever acknowledge this engagement? No, he couldn't let this slide!

    "Frederick Lester, I'll give you one last chance to change what you said. Apologize to me, right here and now in front of everyone. If you admit your mistake, I can pretend nothing happened!" Liana's expression fluctuated. This was her last shred of reason. As long as Frederick was willing to apologize, she would let him off the hook out of the kindness of her heart.At this moment, Jasmine rushed forward and stood in front of Frederick. Her face was pale as she said, "I apologize on behalf of him, Ms. Yarborough. I'm Jasmine from the Smiths in Centropolis. He was just speaking out of turn! It was utter nonsense!"Liana's gaze turned cold. "The one I want an apology from is Frederick. Are you Frederick? What do I care about the Smiths? Even your brother Christopher has to keep his distance when he sees me!"These rapid-fire remarks left Jasmine speechless.Ignoring Jasmine, Liana fixed her gaze on Frederick. "Say something!""Hey! Ms. Yarborough is telling you to speak!""You'r

    "How dare you! Did Ms. Yarborough allow you to leave?""Do you think you can walk out of here alive after offending the Yarboroughs?""The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable your end will be later!"The crowd was indignant and kept shouting.But suddenly, Liana's cold voice cut through their shouts like a knife. "Shut up! Who allowed you to insult him?"Her words silenced everyone. They were stunned. What was going on?Just a moment ago, Liana seemed ready to tear Frederick apart. But now her tone sounded different, as if she had turned into another person.Liana's eyes sparkled as her gaze fell on the calligraphy Frederick had produced. He had written the same words, "World's Best".In terms of artistic conception and brushwork, it far surpassed the one that had been up for auction. She could see a man standing before millions of enemies in the Northern Frontier. He was alone, and he cut down all who stood in his way with a sword in his hand. On a sea of blood

    The newcomers consisted of two people—one tall and skinny, one short and fat.The tall man grinned. "Nice to meet you. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Rory."The short and chubby man beside him chuckled. "Actually, this will also be the last time we meet. I'm Lycan. Remember this name, so you won't be clueless as to who killed you!""You… My brother sent you two!" Jasmine gasped. She paled in shock. Sweat streamed down her face, and she faltered in her words.The intimidating aura emanating from the two was so overpowering, she felt as if she was being crushed by two mountains!"Knowing that is good enough, Ms. Smith. Mr. Smith has made it clear that as long as you're willing to come with us now, he can overlook the mistakes you've made before. But this man must die!"Rory strolled forward casually, his hands in his pockets. "Don't make things difficult for us, okay? Be good and come with us!"He turned to Frederick, and added, "As for you… You should kill yourself. That's t

    Rory stood frozen for a moment; then, his features contorted in rage. "What did you say? I'm weak?!"Almost simultaneously, his palm erupted with hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity. It melted the surrounding buildings with its scorching heat. This was the consequence of angering Rory! From the start, he had planned to unleash his full power and tear the kid in front of him to pieces."I'll show you! Let's see if you think this is weak!" Lightning crackled from Rory's palm, and he aimed his hand at Frederick's head.Jasmine was standing not too far away from Frederick. But even at that distance, she could feel the terrifying pressure in the air. She was shocked beyond words.It was horrifying! If she were on the receiving end of that strike, she would probably turn into a charred corpse instantly!"Frederick, why would you provoke a freak from the top two hundred on the Savant Arts Ranking?!" Her heart nearly leaped out of her throat as she subconsciously closed he

    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
