"Let's get to the point." Frederick sighed, rolling his eyes. Every time he came here, she never failed to flirt with him. This Chiusil woman really had an insatiable heart.He couldn't deny that her figure and looks were excellent. However, given Aleena's status, he feared sparking an international diplomatic incident, so he always kept his distance."Tsarina, did some street ruffian manage to sneak and harass you? Is he trying to take advantage of you? That's not something we'll allow!" Several foreign men approached them.Seeing how warmly Aleena was treating Frederick, they were jealous, and their eyes burned with envy. Thus, they sought an excuse to confront Frederick before Aleena."Get lost!"But Frederick didn't even look up. He grabbed a bottle and smashed it into one man's skull, instantly shattering it and spraying blood everywhere.Screams tore through the air. The men were scared stiff, collapsing to their knees.Aleena laughed heartily, her smile filled with de
"As long as you can find someone to save my daughter, I'll fulfill any request! I don't care what it is!" Upon hearing Aleena's words, Desmond instantly perked up, like he had been injected with adrenaline. He agreed eagerly.Aleena smiled faintly. "Good. Now, please have Ms. White go to Atlantis Club. Have her put on a bunny girl costume, and dance provocatively in front of all the bar patrons!"Instantly, a storm erupted among the crowd."What? Has there ever been such a treatment method in history?""Nonsense! Is this person here to save or humiliate our family?""I knew it, Aleena! You're up to no good! Just say it straight if you're looking for trouble!"Desmond intervened sternly, silencing the room. "Everyone, quiet!""Tsarina," he said, “I believe your intentions are good for our family. But have you really vetted this man properly? These special demands don't seem like medical treatment for my daughter. It feels more like someone's after her body!"With Aleena's powe
"Are you taking me for a fool?" Katherine already had an unfavorable impression of the unfamiliar man in front of her. When she heard his words, she was instantly furious. She raised her fist, as if to smash Frederick's head in."Kathy! Stop!" At a critical moment, Desmond and the rest of the White family arrived just in time. Desmond shouted loudly to halt the impending violence.Aleena didn't follow them inside. Still, Desmond wanted to give Aleena some respect. He glanced at Frederick, and said, "Young man, you keep saying you can cure my daughter's illness. Let me warn you, the Whites hold considerable influence in Aston. If you're toying with us, there will be serious consequence. Even with Aleena backing you, you'll have to pay a hefty price."Frederick remained nonchalant. "So, do you want me to treat her or not? Keep pushing me, and I won't bother."This enraged Katherine even further. "You lying scoundrel! How dare you turn around and threaten my family! Are you tire
"Just a little longer," Frederick said calmly.Behind him, the White family members were at their breaking point. "He's just stalling for time!""He's toying with us and humiliating our entire family!""He's treating our lady like a pet, parading her on stage for those commoners to mock! This is intolerable!"The White family members were about to explode in their fury. This time, even Desmond didn’t defend Frederick. "Mr. Lester, you need to give me an explanation. Or else..." he said icily. The threat was clear.Frederick’s lips curled into a smile. "What's wrong? Can't hold it in any longer?"Desmond's face darkened with anger. "Frederick! Don't fucking push your luck! Do you think you can walk out of here alive?"Just then, Katherine stormed down from the stage, seething with rage. "I’ve danced through dozens of songs! My headache hasn't lessened at all—in fact, it's gotten worse! You're a fraud! Who treats an illness like this? I’ll kill you right now!"As she finish
Desmond turned around, and saw something that left him utterly stunned—it was Katherine! She was alive and well, standing right before him.He was at a complete loss for words. "Kathy, how... You were..."Frederick cut in, "Didn't I tell you I could cure her? Why do you all keep causing trouble?"No one responded. No one dared to!Katherine clutched her head in astonishment, and exclaimed, "Dad, I can feel it! The parasite in my head—it's completely gone! Not a trace left!"Everyone from the White family was in shock, and their mouth hung open. They couldn’t comprehend the situation. Just moments ago, Katherine had been lying in a pool of her own blood. Now, she had been miraculously revived.Suddenly, a cold voice broke the stunned silence. "You idiots! I couldn't watch your bumbling any longer!"Aleena stepped out from the shadows. She had been there the whole time."Frederick's method was so simple. I'm an amateur at medical practices, but even I could see what he was doin
As Frederick was about to cross the street, a shadowy figure hurried up behind him. It was Katherine. She was still in that eye-catching bunny outfit, and her curves made quite the impression."Dr. Lester, I’m really sorry for what happened earlier. Please accept my apology!" Katherine said playfully, sticking out her tongue.Frederick looked at her, and said calmly, "Ms. White, no need to apologize. Anyone would have reacted angrily to my unreasonable demands. It’s perfectly natural."Katherine blushed, and insisted, "But I feel terrible. You saved my life, and I treated you so badly. If it’s okay, I’d like to take you out for a meal to show my appreciation. You can pick the place!"She added confidently, "No matter how expensive or hard to book the restaurant is, my family can sort it out with a word."Frederick gave her a slight, knowing smile. "Ms. White, we’re both adults. If you want something from me, just ask directly. There’s no need for pretenses."Even a fool could s
Katherine shivered as she glanced around, and quickly realized many eyes were glued on her."This is so embarrassing!" As the daughter of a prestigious family, she had never felt such public humiliation. Covering her face, she wished she could disappear into the ground.On the other hand, Frederick laughed heartily as he walked away. This girl wouldn’t be bothering him again anytime soon. If she wanted to be his apprentice, she needed a few more years of practice!Just as Frederick was about to head home, his phone rang. A teasingly seductive voice greeted him. "Frederick, don’t forget that tomorrow is the Aston Savant Arts Tournament. Don’t be late!"Liana! She was relentless!Frederick groaned as he remembered the promise he had made to Liana. His forehead creased in exasperation. “Can’t I skip it?”“You could. But if you want any information about your father, you’ll have to come to me,” Liana said cunningly before hanging up."Damn it! This woman’s got me cornered!" Fred
"Grandpa, I…" Jasmine began to protest.But Douglas cut her off, "Don’t be hasty. He’s about to take the stage. Watch his performance first, then decide."With a sigh, Jasmine settled back to watch. A few minutes later, the tournament began. The arenas were alive with fierce battles.Steven stepped onto his platform, facing his opponent. The man opposite him was Bruce Larkin from the Tranquil Academy, known for his exceptional sword-drawing skill."Steven, you don’t even have a weapon. How do you plan to go against my sword, the Eclipse Azure Blade?" Bruce sneered at him, his face full of contempt. "If you surrender now, you might escape with your life."Bruce didn't want to get into trouble with the Diamond Guild by killing Steven.To his surprise, Steven just smiled. "The same goes for you. You’re not worth my time. You should step down and surrender."Bruce’s face turned red with fury. "Are you that eager to die? Fine! I’ll grant your wish!"He launched his sword-drawing s
