"Jen, you're totally wasted!" Jasmine chuckled. "That's so unlike you!" Jennifer's cheeks burned as she scoffed at herself. "It's just the alcohol talking. It makes me dream like every other girl, imagining I'll find my Prince Charming." Deep down, she knew such men existed in a different word , far beyond her reach. They'd never cross paths, let alone fall in love. "Forget it,” she said. “Let's just keep drinking!" They clinked their glasses together and continued drinking, oblivious to Frederick's incessant calls throughout the night. By the time the bar closed, they stumbled out, and Jennifer was barely able to stand from being so wasted. Jasmine had to lend her support, feeling on the verge of tears as she complained, "I knew you couldn't handle your drinks! That's why I hate going out with you. I always end up babysitting!" Suddenly, Jennifer muttered, "Frederick, you jerk! I'll kill you! You stole my first time! That day in the office!" She doubled over and vomited
Donovan was trembling with fear, his face as white as a sheet. He stammered, "I... I..." One of the killers approached him with a sinister grin and taunted, "What's wrong? Do you want to play the hero and save the day? Go ahead, I'll give you a chance. Attack me!" Donovan yelled and charged forward. He was ready to pull the trigger.That man simply reached out, crushed the gun barrel, plucked out the bullets, and swallowed them whole."He's not human! He's a monster!" Donovan screamed in terror and abandoned Jennifer and Jasmine, fleeing as fast as he could. Both women turned pale in shock. Jasmine scoffed coldly and remarked, "Jen, are you sure this coward was the one who saved you from Hugh?" Jennifer clenched her fists, her face turned pale. "How could this happen? Donovan isn't like this!" One of the men eyed the two trembling women and grinned wickedly. "Rhino, the one in the black stockings looks feisty. She's yours. I'll take the innocent one." "Sounds good, bro,
Jasmine's jaw dropped as she watched the astonishing scene unfold before her. Once again, Frederick sent a Savant Grandmaster flying with a single slap! And he wasn't just any criminal—it was the Ripper, one of the most feared wanted men! "By the way, where's Ms. York?" Frederick asked casually. "I don't see her anywhere. Did she leave early?" Jasmine snapped back to reality and hurriedly urged, "Oh no! We've got to get back to Jen! Another Ripper has captured her. She's in danger!" Shocked, Frederick's eyes narrowed in surprise and he asked worriedly, "Where is she? Show me the way!" He had no idea there were two Rippers! He had let his guard down! Just as Jasmine was about to lead Frederick away, Raven reappeared with a loud thud and landed in front of them. Despite the damage to half of his face, he laughed arrogantly, the sound twisted by the damage to his face. "Bahaha! This is interesting! It's my first time encountering a strong opponent like you in this forsaken
Frederick's expression remained impassive as he responded, "Is that so? Well then, you can go straight to hell." "With someone of your caliber?" the man scoffed. "I could take down a hundred weaklings like you without even breaking a sweat." Just then, a group of heavily armed personnel suddenly appeared on the scene. "All civilians, evacuate the area immediately! It's not safe here!" A tall, striking woman with chestnut, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders stepped forward. She strode confidently in combat boots, her demeanor radiating pride and assurance. Donovan followed closely behind her. He shouted at Frederick, "You again? Useless loser! This is not a place for amateurs like you! Move aside! Captain Zephyr is in charge!" After fleeing from the scene, Donovan had rushed to headquarters to report the situation. The elite team responded promptly, ready to take down Ripper. The tall woman stood with her arms crossed, her pale skin and sharp features commanding atte
"How dare you? You’re a scoundrel! You shameless jerk!" Willa was seething with anger, her heart ready to explode with fury. Frederick remained unfazed and threatened, "You've got three seconds to apologize, or we'll do it the hard way. "3... "2... "1!" "I'm sorry!" Willa spat out, glaring at Frederick with resentment. Her desire to devour him alive burnt fiercely. Frederick released her, but not before giving her a playful pinch on the bottom. "Consider that a little interest! Not bad; you've got quite a nice butt!" Fuming, Willa was beside herself with fury. Never before had a man treated her with such disrespect! Frederick turned to Rhino, who was barely alive and demanded, "Tell me everything you know about Organization V." Rhino's expression shifted as he glanced at the V tattoo on his chest. Gritting his teeth, he refused. "I can't say anything! If I speak, I'm dead!" Without hesitation, Frederick snapped all ten of Rhino's fingers. He screamed with agony. "
Alec hurried to the reception room, where he heard the sounds of a woman struggling. "Mr. Z, what are you doing? Ugh! Don't touch me! I belong to Mr. Lambert; you can't! Stop it!" Alec frowned as he entered the room. A man in a black robe was having his way with Alec's new lover, who was sitting on his lap. Her underwear was shredded beyond recognition, reduced to mere strips of cloth that barely covered her figure. She had just turned eighteen, and Alec hadn't even had a chance to be with her yet. When the young girl saw Alec, she burst into tears and ran toward him. Alec chuckled and said, "Mr. Z, always the ladies' man! But this one is mine. I'm afraid I can't let you have her. I'll find a few prettier ones for you instead." Mr. Z smirked playfully and replied, "Mr. Lambert, you're lucky to have such a young beauty by your side. But don't worry; I won't take her from you. Just let me borrow her for a few days." The young girl panicked and exclaimed, "No, that's not r
Jennifer kicked Frederick off the bed, and he hit the floor with a thud.Grumbling, he said, "Ms. York! You kept me awake all night, and now you're kicking me aside? How is that fair?""All night? What are you talking about? Get out!" Jennifer snapped, shooting him an angry glare. She noticed her underwear scattered on the floor, and it fueled her suspicion. This guy must've taken advantage of her while she was drunk, undressing her, and who knows what else he’d done?"Jen! Are you awake?" Jasmine asked, barging in after hearing the commotion. Setting the record straight, she said, "Frederick brought you back last night, but you were so drunk, you practically threw yourself at him, stripping off your clothes. I couldn't stop you!""I had to coax and trick you into bed to get you to sleep. I didn't do anything, all right?" Frederick retorted, his annoyance evident. "You kept me up all night with your antics, and then you kicked me off the bed! Can we be a bit reasonable here, Ms
"Soup?" Frederick looked puzzled. "You want me to come in for soup, Ms. York?"He couldn't help but wonder what Jennifer was playing at."What else?" Jennifer tossed her hair back. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Officer Sanders, what's the occasion?""Jennifer, I came to see you because…I wanted to clear things up about last night." Donovan chuckled awkwardly. "I've got you some health supplements!"Jennifer responded coolly, "I'm fine, thanks. You ran pretty fast last night. With your speed, we might not have been caught by the Ripper."Donovan's expression shifted at her remark and he clarified, "I was going to get backup! I know there was a misunderstanding, which is why I brought a special gift to make up for you." He perked up and added, "I have an invitation to the Laguna Business Banquet hosted by the Tiger Faction. It's the event of the year with all the major company owners eager to attend."Jennifer lost her composure and asked, "An invitation? How did you manage tha
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
