The man they were here for was the Dark Monarch of the Northern Frontier, a pillar of the nation, and one of the pinnacle figures of power in Drakonia!By establishing a relationship with the Dark Monarch, they could soar to great heights with limitless prospects!"It seems that you both have also heard the news. The Dark Monarch has been frequenting this restaurant that's popular for matchmaking lately," Matthew said with a smirk. "Looks like I'll have to keep a close watch from now on. Can't let you guys get ahead of me!"All three knew deep down the terrifying power of the Dark Monarch! He was someone even the kings of the West would bow down to!Even if they couldn't flatter him, they had to maintain good relations. Otherwise, if the Dark Monarch became enraged, countless would perish, and rivers of blood would flow!If he wished it, the Dark Monarch could obliterate the three powerhouses in an instant!"I've heard that Lord Hades has now settled in Mirage City. I'll find him
"Um..." Frederick was dumbfounded and somewhat embarrassed."Hurry up! Didn't you hear me? Otherwise, I'll fire you immediately!" Jennifer hissed in a low voice.She deliberately approached Frederick, her curvy figure and fair skin flashing in a tempting manner before him.Frederick gritted his teeth and reached out, boldly squeezing a sensitive part of her body tightly!Jennifer's expression changed instantly. She trembled slightly and gave him a cold glare. Yes, she had commanded him to touch her... But how dare he touch her so audaciously, especially in the most sensitive place! Struggling not to cry out, she maintained a composed facade and said, "See? We genuinely love each other. Dad, Uncle, just give up!""Nonsense! Jennifer! I don't care about your relationship with this lowly man. You must marry the Tiger Faction's heir!" Zeke erupted in anger, striding forward to slap Jennifer across the face.Jennifer staggered back three steps, her cheek reddening instantly."T
As soon as those words left Frederick's lips, the York family members erupted in fury and lashed out."Where did this trash come from? He has no manners at all!""He's cursing our grandfather to die!""We're offering such a worthless thing money?! We should just drown him in a river!""These low-class people are all the same! Even looking at them is a waste of my time!"Xavier's face darkened. "Young man, do you know what you're saying? Apologize, and we can move on."As an elderly person, being openly cursed was the last thing Xavier wanted to endure.Frederick frowned. "I'm speaking the truth. You're already on your way out."A cloud of gloom passed over Xavier's face. Suppressing his anger, he issued a final warning, "Say that again, I dare you.""Grandfather, don't misunderstand. He's just tactless and always speaks out of turn," Jennifer interjected, glaring at Frederick.She didn't understand why Frederick was saying such things."Frederick, stop spouting nonsense. Apo
The members of the York family were momentarily stunned but soon erupted into laughter."Dr. Stewart, are you joking? That kid only pressed a few pressure points on Lord Xavier, and you're saying he's now cured of his incurable disease?!""This sounds more like magic than medicine!""I could do it too!" someone chimed in.Mark frowned and said, "No, even if it looked like a simple massage, this would have required skill in traditional medicine. It's not that simple."Xavier waved him off. "Enough of that. Dr. Stewart, let's have some tea. We have the finest black tea here."Mark relented. After all, discussing medical matters with those outside the field felt like talking to a wall.After a while, the York family bid farewell to Mark. Then, Zacharias said with a hint of annoyance, "This so-called renowned doctor is nothing. He mistook a mere youngster for a legendary physician!"Xavier stroked his beard and said, "Dr. Stewart is getting old. Mistakes happen when you're not di
With lightning speed, Frederick swiftly lunged forward, landing a heavy blow on the mysterious dark figure. However, the opponent merely staggered back a few steps, seemingly unharmed.Frederick was taken aback. Even though he had only used a fraction of his full strength, few in the entire Drakonia could withstand such a strike. The man was definitely an experienced fighter!Who did Jennifer offend to deserve such a formidable opponent?Without engaging Frederick further, the figure swiftly made his way to the second floor. Panic surged within Frederick. Oh no!If that person reached the second floor, Jennifer would be in grave danger! But hadn't Jennifer forbade him from going upstairs?Forget it! It was more important to save her!Who cared if Jennifer scolded him for this?!His heart skipped a beat, and he rushed forward without hesitation. When he reached the second floor, he noted that the figure had entered Jennifer's room."Ms. York! Be careful! Someone's in
Sylvia stood behind with an embarrassed look on her face. It was evident that Marissa and Lucy had forced their way into the house.Frederick's expression darkened. He had encountered shameless people before, but this level of audacity was the first he had seen! If he claimed to be on good terms with Jennifer, this pair would undoubtedly fawn over him, hoping to benefit from their connection.Frederick chose his words carefully and replied, "I hate to disappoint you, but Jennifer is my superior. She visited me yesterday solely for work-related matters and left after discussing them."Marissa and Lucy looked stunned. "What? She's your boss? Figures! How could a woman of her stature fall for a loser like you? We celebrated too early! Ugh! You're just full of bad luck, I swear!" They grumbled as they left, taking their gifts with them.Just then, Frederick's phone buzzed with a message from Seiryu. [Lord Hades, I've transferred five billion to your account. I took the libert
Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Frederick continued, "Yes, it's about the health product produced by Prospera Corporation. It's a tea called 'Harmony', and it meets national quality inspection standards. If you combine it with modern traditional medicine, long-term consumption can effectively prevent many mental illnesses."I'll give you five minutes to secure two million in sales for me."-At the same time, Matthew, the mayor of Mirage City, was in the administrative office.He gripped his phone with excitement, and his voice trembled as he said, "It's Lord Hades! It's actually Lord Hades! He hasn't forgotten me!"Years ago, Matthew was merely a personal cook for Frederick in the military camp. One day, Frederick praised his cooking skills, leading to an immediate promotion for him!Several years later, he was directly appointed as the mayor of Mirage City, rising through the ranks at a staggering speed.Frederick might have forgotten this favor, but Matthew held it close to
Cody's smile froze instantly. He felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and a burning sensation overwhelmed him!The entire office fell into an eerie silence!Mary and John were ecstatic. "Fred, that was amazing!"Frederick shrugged. As always, Matthew was clever. When he ordered two million, he immediately increased the amount tenfold just to please Frederick.Frederick approached Cody, who was pale as a sheet, and said, "Mr. Scott, I've kept my end of the bargain. Shouldn't you do the same?"Cody sneered and retorted, "You said two million over the phone, but the mayor's office ordered twenty million! The numbers don't add up!"John was indignant. "Mr. Scott, what's the meaning of this? Are you trying to back out?"Cody coldly snorted. "I suspect it's all a coincidence. Frederick is just an inexperienced intern in the corporate world. He must have heard rumors about the mayor's office planning to order our group's product, so he deliberately bet against me!"So, beca
