“It stopped…?”The entire place fell silent, as if someone had hit the pause button.The seemingly ominous ground was now rapidly returning to normal. Even the charred, foul-smelling surface was becoming clean again.It was a miracle!Delighted, Jasmine said, "It's over! Everything is fine now. Who would dare to say this land is cursed?"As long as they could keep this land, Dustin's plans would fall apart.Connor was sweating profusely. He pointed a finger at Frederick, filled with disbelief. "H-How did you do that?! Very few have returned safely from the Nine Evil's Mansion. Unless...unless they were a Divine-tier shaman!"Frederick shrugged, grinning. "Can't you tell that I am one?""You're a Divine Shaman? Bullshit! Even legendary figures couldn’t achieve that in their twenties!" Connor's face turned red with anger, and he started spewing curses.Frederick shrugged again. "Looks like your narrow-mindedness is limiting your imagination.""I don't believe it! It must be a c
Common people were always like this. They changed their tune at every turn, and were easily swayed by others. After Frederick's well-founded explanation, those condemning Aerowind Enterprise criticized Connor instead.The security guards and workers couldn't contain their anger any longer. They surged forward, ready to confront him face-to-face."You damn fraud! You've caused us so much trouble!"Jasmine walked up to Frederick, and grabbed his arm with some irritation."So, you had a way to deal with Connor all along! Why didn't you say so earlier? I was on the verge of collapsing just now."She added somewhat sheepishly, "Sorry about losing my temper earlier."Frederick smiled gently. "No worries. Do you think I don't know my woman? Feel free to hit or scold me if you're in a bad mood. Whatever makes you comfortable."Jasmine cooed shyly, "How could I?"Then, she leaned into his embrace.A few young assistants behind them looked on with mixed feelings. As single men and ladie
“What does it say, Mr. Ziegler? Was Frederick scared witless by you? Did he grovel and beg for mercy?” Connor was oblivious to the situation, and continued playfully, "I knew it! How could a small company like Aerowind Enterprise dare to oppose our boss? It's like hitting a rock with an egg! They're completely out of their league!"But before he finished speaking, Dustin abruptly opened his hand and placed it on Connor's head."You still have the nerve to spout bullshit?!"Boom!In an instant, Connor's head exploded. His body collapsed into a pool of blood, his limbs twitching. When all the subordinates witnessed this, they were terrified. Their hearts were practically in their throats.From afar, it looked like a dog! Up close, it was Dustin! Those words were a blatant provocation and humiliation! Dustin had lived for over fifty years. This was the first time someone had so shamelessly trampled on him—how utterly brazen!"He must die!" The anger in Dustin's voice was explosi
Upon hearing this, all the underground kings were taken aback. The usually bold and ruthless Dustin had actually spoken such words! It seemed Frederick had truly provoked him. Dustin was now consumed by revenge, and nothing else mattered to him."Since Dustin has said that, as sworn brothers, we can't just stand by!" exclaimed one."Let's charge into Mirage City! We'll divide the territory, the money, and the women!""Let's vent this anger for sworn brother, Dustin!"One by one, the kings stood up and declared their support. Dustin would lead the charge, and they would follow to reap the benefits. Such a good opportunity was not to be missed!"But Dustin, if you really want to kill Frederick, I suggest not attacking Aerowind Enterprise. You should go after Prospera Corporation and capture his woman, Jennifer York," Philip suggested with a smirk."Before coming here, my informant in Mirage City told me that Aerowind Enterprise is a subsidiary of Prospera Corporation," he conti
"Who is it? Who could make Dustin mobilize thirteen underground kings and a hundred thousand troops?!" Gavin's eyes widened in shock as he took a deep breath.To stir up such chaos over one person… No matter how he looked at it, it wasn't worth it."It was Aerowind Enterprise's general manager, Frederick Lester," the tattooed bald man said. "Not only did he ruin our boss's business, but he openly provoked us too. Our boss has spoken—if any force in Mirage City dares to intervene, they will be our enemy!"The declaration was earth-shattering, and it stunned everyone present. Dustin was after Frederick?Gavin revealed a surprised expression, then asked, "What's your next move?""We're going to siege Prospera Corporation and capture the CEO, Jennifer York. Rumor has it she's involved with Frederick. With her as our hostage, he'll have no choice but to surrender!"The tattooed bald man chuckled arrogantly, oblivious to the storm brewing in Gavin's eyes."Gavin, you're a smart ma
"What?" Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. She rushed to the window, and looked down.A sea of people stretched out beneath her, blocking everything in her sight. They had nearly surrounded the entire corporation."What's going on?!" Jennifer's eyes widened in shock.Even more surprising, she spotted Gavin leading his troops as they arrived in a hurry. However, his forces were far inferior to the opposing side in terms of both presence and numbers."Gavin, why are you here? Have you changed your mind and decided to get involved as well?" Dustin saw Gavin rushing over with thousands of people, and thought Gavin was coming to join him. Dustin couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. "You've always been a thorn in my side! I never expected to see you surrender! Where's my cousin? Did he come with you? Why don't I see him?""Cousin? Are you talking about the person you sent as a messenger?" Gavin grinned brightly. "I threw him into a pot of boiling oil and fried him up nicely. He tas
As Frederick stepped out of the company doors, Jasmine hurriedly caught up and asked, "Frederick, what happened?"She had just heard Frederick's roar from the neighboring office, and was startled. It was the first time she had heard him so furious. She knew something serious must have happened."Ms. York is in trouble..." Frederick said. Then, he gave her a brief explanation. Jasmine's jaw dropped. "Thirteen underground kings?! A hundred thousand people?! My goodness, has Dustin gone mad?"She knew he was vengeful, but she hadn't expected his thirst for revenge to reach such extremes."Frederick, you can't go alone! There's a hundred thousand people, thirteen underground kings, and that ruthless man, Dustin! It's clearly a trap to lure you in! If you go now, you'll fail to save Jennifer and put yourself in danger!"Jasmine bit her lip."Give me some time! I can bring five thousand people as reinforcements from Centropolis with just one call. My family's guards are theoretically
"It's right here in my pocket."Frederick reached into Gavin's pocket and pulled out a fine cigar, placing it in Gavin's mouth and lighting it up. Unfortunately, Gavin's body was stiff, and he had long since lost the ability to smoke.Yet, his face still brimmed with boundless happiness."To have a smoke before I die... What a bliss! My life's worth it! Hahaha!"A few seconds later, the cigar dropped to the ground.Gavin was dead.Frederick stood silently beside him, staring at the frozen smile on Gavin's face.His face was as dark as a storm.Boom!Almost instantly, the sky darkened with thick clouds. They blocked out the sun, plunging everything into darkness.It was the first time Frederick had felt such anger. Fury seeped into his bones, roaring and boiling in every cell and drop of blood in his body."I won't let your deaths be in vain!"Frederick stepped alone into Prospera Corporation.Due to Dustin and his men's destruction, the entire company was in ruins. It was
