"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
As soon as Liana finished speaking, the scene erupted into uproar again. The air was filled with gasps and murmurs."What does Ms. Yarborough mean by that? Is she not planning to protect this guy anymore?""Looks like Ms. Yarborough realized it's not worth offending the guests for the sake of a small-time lover!""After all, he's just an insignificant male pet. How can he compare to us heirs of prestigious families?"The disdain on their faces grew stronger as they chattered amongst themselves.Justin was surprised. When Liana stepped in, he assumed she would protect Frederick. Instead, she left it to him to handle...Wasn't this also a kind of tacit approval?She had allowed him to kill Frederick!Stuart, who was at death's door, roared desperately, "Mr. Vaughn, you must avenge me! Skin him alive, and tear him into pieces!""Heh! Since Ms. Yarborough trusts me that much, I won't disappoint her and will handle this matter properly," Justin said in a deep voice.This time, he
"Understood, Mr. Vaughn!"Upon receiving the command, the two unremarkable and unknown elderly men behind Justin leaped into action like lightning. They sprung up into the air, as if propelled by springs. The immense pressure they exerted was akin to a mountain crashing down, causing the entire cruise ship to sway slightly, as if encountering a storm surge."They're Emeritus Grandmasters! Both of them are Emeritus Grandmasters!"The whole scene exploded into chaos as everyone instinctively retreated."The entire Aston has fewer than ten registered Emeritus Grandmasters, and the Vaughn family has two!""As expected of the formerly richest family in Aston! A small family like the Kleins can't possible measure up to them!""No wonder Justin is so fearless! With these two Emeritus Grandmasters by his side, he could probably break into the state governor's building and walk away unscathed. They might even see him off with honors!"In an instant, the path around Frederick was blocke
"What happened? It's right in front of you! Can't see clearly? Let me help you!" Frederick lifted Justin like he weighed nothing, and threw him into the pool of blood."This guy isn't human! He's like a vengeful demon summoned from hell!" Justin was terrified out of his wits. He scrambled out of the blood pool, and crawled away from Frederick. He looked nothing like his former composed self."If I'm not dreaming, then I'm just unlucky! H-He took down two Emeritus Grandmasters with one move... This is a first in my entire life, and probably the last time I'll see such a thing!"The crowd was equally shocked by the scene, and their jaws were wide open. They hurriedly distanced themselves from Frederick, worried he might turn his sights on them. Those who had mocked Frederick earlier were especially frightened. They covered their mouths with their hands, afraid of provoking him further.Stuart, who had been the most vicious in his taunts, now cowered in the crowd as he whimpered
