"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

    "Lord Hades, canceling the Divine Healer Championship is probably wishful thinking," Seiryu said with a wry smile. "This tournament has been a tradition in Drakonia for centuries. It involves people from all walks of life, and is backed by strong support from the Senate. Even with my reputation, I'm afraid...""Then we'll use my reputation, the Dark Monarch's!" Frederick declared firmly.Seiryu still looked hesitant. "The Dark Monarch's reputation was unparalleled. However, the medical community in Drakonia is quite independent and doesn't heed anyone's commands. Just presenting a document may not convince them. Moreover, the information about Organization V involves national security secrets that can't be disclosed."A shadow fell over Frederick's face. "So we can't stop the Divine Healer Championship from proceeding as scheduled?""That's right," Seiryu confirmed. Knowing what would happen but unable to avoid it was frustrating. "Lord Hades, once I've recovered, I'll head to

    Because of Xavier's natural degeneration, Frederick had forced the entire York family to yield. He even made Xavier kneel to him.The York family's dignity was shattered. From that moment on, Xavier spared no expense, spending all his wealth to find doctors who could cure this condition.Finally, he found two renowned doctors from the Northern Frontier. They were apprentices of the famous Hex Healer, Ellis Thorn, and top-tier practitioners in hex healing. They claimed they could completely cure his natural degeneration using their unique hex therapy.Upon hearing the news, Zeke and Zacharias cheered enthusiastically. "Congratulations, Dad! We're so happy for you!" Xavier had previously stated that if he died from his illness, he wouldn't leave a penny to his sons. With his recovery, there was a chance to sweet-talk the old man into revising his will.Zeke clenched his teeth. "Dad, shouldn't we punish Frederick and Jennifer now that he has no leverage against us?"The younger mem

    "Ms. York, let me explain. As you know, Aerowind Enterprise has been actively recruiting lately. With all the new assistants coming in, there's bound to be more physical contact..." Frederick explained sheepishly.Jennifer cut him off. "But why do you smell like Jasmine's favorite perfume, the exclusive luxury brand Ethereal Essence? Don't tell me someone else uses that scent too?"This brand was only available to select customers, with each person having a personalized fragrance. That meant only Jasmine had this particular perfume.Frederick was at a loss for words. His emotional intelligence was clearly lacking, and Jennifer had him cornered."No comeback?" Jennifer smirked. "Then you're on toilet duty for ten days!"Frederick was surprised. "Only ten days?" Normally, Jennifer would explode if she knew he was involved with another woman. Why was she so generous this time?"Don't get me wrong! I've given Jasmine permission to get close to you. Knowing your nature, I don't beli

    "I have my strategies, just as you have your sly tricks!" Zoey sneered coldly. "Men are nothing but lowly, easily manipulated creatures!"She immediately called Jennifer, crying as if in distress. "Jen, I finally get to see you, but..."Five minutes later, Jennifer opened the door and let Zoey in. Zoey’s eyes were already red from crying. "Jen, I'm at my wit's end! The York family treats me like a bastard child! They wouldn't even let me through the villa's gates! That deadbeat of a father of mine has never once fulfilled his fatherly duties towards me since I was born! I've spent these years wandering the streets, living a life worse than death!"Jennifer sat cross-legged, and pulled out a stack of tissues. Zoey's tears and her story visibly moved her. "Stop crying first. Here, wipe your tears."Seeing this woman with similar blood ties sharing such a fate, she felt a pang of sympathy. Both were neglected by the York family, and spent years wandering. Jennifer was fortunate th

    "Zoey, whatever your intentions are for getting close to Jennifer, I won't let you succeed." Frederick narrowed his eyes. Zoey was Jennifer's cousin, so he couldn't just kill her outright. But as long as she was here, he would immediately eliminate her if she did anything suspicious. It didn't matter if she was sleeping in the same bed as Jennifer!Late at night, Frederick was sitting cross-legged in his room. Suddenly, he heard a flirtatious voice beside him."My dear cousin-in-law, are you asleep?"Frederick looked up, and was surprised to see Zoey.She was dressed in a sheer pink nightgown that revealed glimpses of her undergarments, showcasing her alluring figure.Despite that, Frederick remained unmoved. "What did you call me?""Cousin-in-law? Isn't that right? You're Jen's husband, so I should call you that," Zoey said, swaying her hips seductively as she approached him, her eyes filled with allure. "My cousin is so lucky to have such a handsome husband like you..."Fred

    Those words added fuel to the fire, infuriating Jennifer to the core."Frederick! Did you see that? Zoey was speaking up for you, and you're still trying to argue! Can't you act like a man? Didn't I tell you before? You can flirt with my best friend, but something like that only applies to her!"Frederick was agitated, and exclaimed, "Ms. York, I didn't touch her at all! Could you please calm down and let me explain?"At this moment, Zoey pursed her lips. "Jen, it was my fault. I accidentally fell and landed in his arms. He didn't do anything to me. Please don't think too much."Frederick was stunned by her words. On the surface, it seemed like she was defending him, but it was actually making matters worse.Oh, god! This woman's acting skills could win an Oscar! How could she lie so blatantly without batting an eyelid?Hearing this, Jennifer exploded in rage."Do you think I'm blind? She fell down? Would a fall leave Zoey's clothes in disarray? Frederick, I'm really disappoin

    "How did this happen...?"After flicking off the syringes, Frederick felt like he had been struck in the head. Fear unlike any he had ever known flickered in his eyes. The needles had somehow disabled his ability to use his inner aura, rendering him as powerless as an ordinary person. As the Dark Monarch, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation—something capable of harming him!Whoosh!The black bolts of lightning gradually materialized into fully armed assassins wearing black hoods and masks.Frederick immediately distanced himself, and shouted angrily, "Who are you people?" The assassins remained silent, swiftly moving into position and surrounding him tightly. In the corner of his eye, he noticed a conspicuous V-shaped tattoo on each of their wrists."These people are...Organization V members?!" He instantly felt a sense of imminent danger.Why had Organization V targeted him? Was it because of his visit to Seiryu, or the incident involving Eva? Fre

    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
