Philip's words caused everyone there to laugh. In their eyes, Frederick was already a prey they had trapped.Still, killing him outright would be a waste. They wanted to torment and toy with this trapped man slowly.That was where the fun was!"Where's Ms. York?" Frederick asked calmly.Dustin sneered. "Bring that woman out!"Several burly men dragged Jennifer out. Her hair was a mess, and there were bruises evident on her face from a beating. Her features were worn, and tears glistened in the corners of her eyes."Frederick! Why did you come?" Jennifer's frightened eyes suddenly lit up with hope at the sight of him, but it quickly faded into anger."You shouldn't have come! It's useless. Whoever comes will die! Why are you so foolish?""You're my woman. If you're in danger, who else would come?" Frederick replied firmly. "Don't be afraid. I'll take you home. I'll deal with these people slowly. Not a single one will escape!"His words sparked even more laughter."Damn! He
Swoosh!The entire scene froze, and it was utterly silent. Everyone was stunned.The audacity Frederick displayed was beyond belief. He had actually splashed Dustin's phlegm on the latter’s face!"Is this... Is this for real?" Jennifer's mouth hung open in shock.Had he gone mad? In front of a hundred thousand people, he splashed a glass of drink with phlegm onto Dustin's face! This meant there was no possibility of reconciliation between them anymore!"I'll kill you!"After a few seconds, Dustin's eyes turned bloodshot with rage. He was furious, about to strike.But Philip intervened, "Dustin, you don't have to dirty your hands dealing with scum like this. I can handle him alone!"The other underground kings couldn't sit still, either. One of them shouted, "Philip! What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to take all the credit?"It was clear to the discerning eye that Dustin wanted to tear Frederick apart. Whoever took the initiative to resolve this would earn a great
"He only has two hands! There’s a hundred of us against just one of him! We have the advantage!" Sean yelled aggressively. "What are you all waiting for? Let's attack together! Get him!"Smack!As soon as he finished speaking, Sean's body exploded in an instant, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. Dozens of his men behind him turned into a mist of blood together.Again, it took only a slap from Frederick.Frederick withdrew his bloody hand indifferently, and said, "Well, you're right, so come on! Come at me all at once!"At this moment, those who saw this scene turned pale with fear. Even those who had been full of fighting spirit just moments ago were now terrified, their legs trembling uncontrollably.Some sat on the ground with tears in their eyes, lamenting, "Mommy! I don't want to die! Dying that way is terrifying!"Jennifer couldn't help but sneer when she saw this. "Didn't I warn you all earlier? Frederick isn't an ordinary man. So far, I've never seen anyone stronger
The speaker was Percy, the underground king of Southridge City. He tried to persuade Dustin calmly. “Dustin, I’ve got a compromise. We have the hostage, so let’s have a fair fight with this guy!”“What fair fight? He’s a Sovereign Grandmaster!” Dustin roared in frustration. “If we can’t beat him, then we die together! I’ve never backed down from anyone!”He would get revenge for the humiliation Frederick wrought on him. It was better to die fighting than be beaten to a pulp by Frederick.“If it’s a fair fight, there must be conditions!” Percy said seriously. “I suggest we limit his abilities, then face him one-on-one. If he can beat all of us underground kings, he can take the woman with him.”Frederick immediately agreed. “Fine! I accept.”No matter what, he needed to ensure Jennifer’s safety.But Jennifer protested, “Frederick, you’re falling into their trap! The conditions will be so harsh they’ll kill you! You can’t agree!”“I’m the head of the family. My word is final!” F
The subordinates of the underground kings present were terrified, and exchanged wide-eyed glances."This is brutal! They’re sending Mr. Harper!""Everyone knows he’s a muscle freak. He had surgery overseas to build his monstrous body. He even took multiple injections to enhance his muscles!""They say his grip strength is a terrifying five hundred kilograms! He can bend steel bars and uproot trees with his bare hands!"Dustin cackled. “Frederick, you probably can’t even dodge Silas’s punches without your hands and feet! I look forward to seeing the horror on your face in a moment!”Frederick's expression remained blank, ignoring Dustin’s taunts.Silas swaggered up to him, towering over him, and sneered. “Remember! I’m the one who’s going to kill you! You should call me Daddy!”Then, he spat in Frederick’s face. "You’ll die a horrible death—"Before he could finish speaking, a fountain of blood shot into the air.Splat!In an instant, Silas’s massive body was severed at the
“You cheated!” everyone screamed in unison, their faces paling.Frederick sneered. “I never said I was someone who follows the rules. You’re all being unreasonable, and you expect me to play fair? That’s child’s logic!”With a cold laugh, Frederick unleashed a torrent of overwhelming energy from his body.“Run! He’s going to wipe us all out!” The crowd was struck with terror, their previous arrogance gone.But it was too late. The terrifying force engulfed them instantly.Boom!Dustin and the ten underground kings were obliterated in a split second, their blood spraying everywhere. It all happened in less than two seconds!The hundred thousand thugs were utterly stunned, their mouths hanging open in shock. The speed and brutality of the turnaround, the sudden betrayal—it all happened too fast!Amidst the blood-soaked scene, Frederick looked up and murmured, “Gavin, I’ve avenged you!” Frederick had promised to eliminate Dustin and his men to honor the sacrifice of Gavin and hi
"Alright then, I'll leave you the remaining hundred thousand men to manage. My only request is for an orderly withdrawal from Mirage City. If there is widespread chaos, you'll answer for it!" Frederick didn't want to resort to more bloodshed. Managing a hundred thousand people was already daunting, let alone a hundred thousand underground thugs. If they lost control, the consequences would be disastrous."Don't worry! I've been the underground king of Northbay City for over a decade, and I've never made a mistake. I guarantee these hundred thousand men will leave peacefully without disturbing civilians or alerting authorities," Percy reassured him.Satisfied with his assurance, Frederick turned away and left Percy to his task. He approached Jennifer and said softly, "Ms. York, it's over now. We can leave."However, Jennifer was as pale as a sheet. She stood frozen, her body stiff.Frederick sensed something was wrong. "Ms. York?" In the next moment, Jennifer collapsed, her eyes
"Did you lead a team into their base alone and engage in combat, resulting in a self-destructive attempt to take you down with them?" Frederick questioned sharply.He had sensed an ominous suspicion from the start. That was why he had given Seiryu a pill in advance, just in case. Instead, Seiryu ignored his warning and acted without informing him first.Seiryu could barely look Frederick in the eye now. He lowered his head in apology. "I'm sorry, Lord Hades. I… I was eager to achieve results. I didn't expect so many big players, which led to heavy casualties among my men. It was an 80% casualty rate—I take full responsibility for it. I failed them!"The strong-willed man choked up and began to weep, covering his face. Even seasoned soldiers couldn't remain indifferent after witnessing many of their comrades fall.Frederick sighed helplessly. "Back in the Northern Frontier, I told you, you were too young and hot-headed. Since you climbed to the top as a war god at a young age, you
