A terrifying energy surged from Frederick's forehead, erupting like a volcano.Even though his powers were suppressed, they couldn't restrain the colossal energy surging within him, akin to the primordial forces of ancient times. Once unleashed, its might was comparable to the explosion of ten hydrogen bombs.The assassins sensed the danger—immediately, they changed their course and fled.Frederick sneered. "Trying to run now? Too late! You can all go to hell!"But at this critical moment, a black bulletproof military-grade Porsche appeared. At the same time, dozens of large trucks sped in from all directions. They crashed into the black-clothed assassins, spilling blood and flesh everywhere.The bulletproof Porsche came to a screeching stop before Frederick, and the driver opened the door."Mr. Lester, get in quickly!""Who are you?" Frederick was stunned.The scene before him left him dumbfounded. Who could manage such a grand scene?"Ms. Yarborough sent us to rescue you! Th
"Besides, I'm just a streetwalker. I specialize in taking advantage of rich folks. I've never even held a kitchen knife before! Now, you want me to do this kind of thing…" Zoey protested, discontented.Xavier said solemnly, "Don't worry. Our family has prepared an escape route for you. We still have connections in Mirage City, and we can guarantee you a safe way out.""Your father's health isn't very good. In a hundred years, the future of our family will depend on you youngsters..."Upon hearing this, Zoey suddenly became excited. The implication behind these words was clear—didn't that mean she also had the right to inherit the Yorks’ fortune?As a woman who didn't have anywhere to belong, her craving for wealth and material had reached a morbid level."Alright, Grandpa, just give me the order! As your granddaughter, I won't hesitate to do anything for the York family, even if it means risking my life!" she vowed, thumping her chest.Xavier chuckled heartily. "You mustn't say s
The man nodded, and smiled. "That's right.""What does Liana want? Where am I?" Frederick asked in rapid succession.His mind was a mess, filled with questions. How did Liana know he was attacked? Why did she save him and bring him here?"This is a cruise ship. Today is Ms. Yarborough's twenty-fifth birthday, and there's a party onboard to celebrate," the driver replied calmly. "Mr. Lester, this room is completely soundproof. You don't need to worry about being disturbed. Please rest here for a few days. We have staff who will deliver food and drinks. Once the party ends, Ms. Yarborough will explain everything to you."After saying that, the driver left swiftly. He didn't give Frederick a chance to ask more questions.Frederick narrowed his eyes. "There are ten bodyguards at the door. They say it's for my protection, but it feels more like imprisonment. That woman wanted to kill me before, so why is she suddenly being so nice? There must be something going on!"He knew he could
"But what? I just pulled open your collar, and you dropped the tray? Are you trying to cause trouble?" the man sneered arrogantly. "I can complain to the organizers and get you fired! You'll be working for nothing!"The waitress was terrified. "No, please! I'm sorry! Please don't!"Working on the cruise ship paid well, especially today, with each server getting at least ten thousand in tips. She had been working since five in the morning, and didn’t want all her hard work to go to waste. A few days' wages added up to a substantial amount, and being fired would mean losing all that money and possibly facing a fine."Hey, Mr. Klein! Bullying another girl, huh? Haha!" A few young men, all rich second-generations, came over with mocking smiles, arms around each other's shoulders. "Don't cry! Crying won't help! Can't you see Mr. Klein likes you? He wants to take you to a room!""Just go with Mr. Klein and do what he wants. That way, you'll keep your job. He'll even buy you new cloth
"Murderer! He killed someone!" The crowd was shocked, and some shrieked in hysteria.Stuart's head was a gruesome mess of blood and flesh. It looked like a pile of rotten meat, and the sight was utterly revolting. His friends were furious."This is outrageous! Who is this guy?""Judging by his clothes, he seems to be a guard on this cruise ship.""Damn it! He's just a lowly worker, but he dares to hit Mr. Klein? Doesn't he know the Klein family is the most powerful family in Southridge City?""Even Percy Swanson, the underground king of Southridge City with thousands of followers, bows and steps aside when he sees the Klein family!"The waitress was terrified, and grabbed Frederick's hand. "Please, you must leave! If those powerful families get here, they'll kill you!""I'll explain it was self-defense. He started it," Frederick said calmly."It won't matter! The guests on this cruise ship are all Ms. Yarborough's friends from Aston State and powerful families! They're all in
Killing these small fries was as easy as squashing an ant. It was just so fun!"Am I dreaming? Are they all dead?"The scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere shocked everyone, and their minds were blown."Ahhh!" The remaining Klein family Savant Grandmasters were covered in blood. They collapsed to the ground in terror and screamed, "D-Demon! That's a demon!"Their earlier arrogance was completely gone.Frederick smirked humorlessly. "Yes, I beat Mr. Klein. Isn't the Klein family supposed to be powerful? Come on, show me what Southridge City's top family is made of!""I'm so scared!" he mocked, a sarcastic smile spreading across his face. It was as if he was venting all the frustration he had gotten earlier from Jennifer and Organization V.Stuart's friends were now huddled in the corner, trembling. They couldn't even bring themselves to glance at Frederick."Sir..." The waitress was the most shocked. She couldn’t believe a bodyguard from the Yarborough family could ins
"Hah! Playing dumb, are we?" Justin sneered coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "Then you can just die...""Wait! Wait! Mr. Vaughn, hold on!"Suddenly, a staggering figure rushed over in a panic—it was Liana's driver!Panting heavily, the driver exclaimed, "Mr. Vaughn, please show mercy! Mr. Yarborough brought this man here!"This statement was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the crowd."What? Wasn't he an intruder? How is he now one of Ms. Yarborough's people?""He's someone Ms. Yarborough brought onto the cruise? He must be of significant status! How could he just be a mere bodyguard? It doesn't add up!"Justin's eyes widened, and he chuckled skeptically. "Logan, you must be joking, right? Ms. Yarborough is a proud and exceptional woman. Why would she bring someone like this to her birthday and engagement party? Is he your nephew or illegitimate son? Is that why you're defending him?"The crowd burst into laughter at his words.Logan wiped the cold s
Liana approached the scene, surrounded by a large group of bodyguards. She wore a long royal gown adorned with purple diamond crystals, topped with a crown weighing five pounds, and her feet were adorned with a pair of majestic green stilettos.Her stunning makeup gave her an air of calamitous beauty, and her devilish figure was perfectly outlined. Even Frederick found himself refreshed by her appearance—she seemed to skyrocket in beauty with just a little touch-up."Ms. Yarborough!""Ms. Yarborough, you're amazing!"The whole place erupted in excitement.She was the true star of today. Here, she was like a queen, ruling over everything and everyone, overlooking the world.Wherever Liana walked, everyone instinctively bowed their heads. They knew they weren't worthy to meet her gaze, or even look up to her. The Yarborough family from the Northern Frontier and the noble families from Aston State were simply not in the same league. For these scions of wealthy families to attend
