"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.

    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

    The revelation was like a bomb dropped into the calm waters of the deep sea. It instantly stirred up monstrous waves.Liana's words were earth-shattering, like a hurricane amidst a tranquil sea.The crowd's jaws dropped open so wide, some people almost dislocated them."Her fiancé is not Justin, but...Frederick?!"This twist left everyone stunned.Even Frederick himself was dumbfounded by Liana's words, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.What the hell?!Liana claimed he was her fiancé?!That was a big deal!"No way! I don't believe it!"Justin's face turned ashen, his voice tinged with hysteria. "How can such a loser be qualified to be the fiancé of the Northern Frontier Princess? As the heir of the Vaughn family, how can a lowly piece of trash surpass me?!"Without a second thought, Liana stepped forward and slapped Justin hard on the face, causing his eyes to see stars as he stumbled and fell. Several of his molars were knocked out on impact."Do you even have the right

    Frederick froze.His worst fear had finally come true! Liana was a remarkably clever woman, and she had discovered his secret.After a few seconds of silence, he decided to play it cool. He plopped down on the sofa opposite her."You're right. I'm Lord Hades, the Northern Frontier's Dark Monarch. I can't change who I am. So, what do you plan to do about it, Liana?" he declared.Liana gazed at him with mixed emotions."I should have realized sooner. How could a mere employee from Aston possess such extraordinary abilities?" she pondered aloud."I sent my people to investigate the Northern Frontier, and discovered that Lord Hades and you share an uncanny resemblance. Even a few soldiers who caught a glimpse of your true face confirmed that you really are Lord Hades," she added.Liana had grown suspicious since their conversation at the hotel, where Frederick mentioned that Hades would eventually meet her.Based on Frederick's extensive knowledge and insights, it almost seemed a

    When Frederick stepped into Jennifer's house, it was pitch black and eerily quiet. He had no choice but to turn on the lights. Then, he realized that no one had lived there for several days.Jennifer was meticulous about cleanliness; she wouldn't leave the house in such a mess."Strange. Where is she?" Frederick muttered, perplexed. Was Jennifer working overtime at the office again? But that didn't add up. Where was Jennifer's bitch of a cousin, Zoey?"Well, maybe it's better this way. At least I won't have to deal with another argument when she returns," Frederick muttered with a shrug.Initially, he had been worried about explaining his disappearance to Jennifer on the way home. But since she wasn't around, he saved himself a lot of mental energy."But what exactly is this Compound Four that Liana mentioned?" he pondered, still feeling unsettled about it. The fact that he, the Dark Monarch, was nearly driven to self-destruct by a small syringe was deeply troubling.If Org

    After the assistant left, Frederick was surprised. "You've hired so many new people? How many employees are there now?"Jasmine pondered momentarily, and replied, "Probably over a thousand." "Over a thousand? That's quite impressive," Frederick exclaimed. Prospera Corporation had only a little over five thousand employees. Aerowind Enterprise, which had just started recently, was catching up to a listed company."You don't know how lucrative the Sleepless City project is economically. It far exceeds our expectations. Plus, the e-commerce and livestreaming industries are currently the hottest. The company is growing so fast, so of course it needs to expand its workforce," Jasmine said slyly."So, how much is the company's net profit per month currently?" Frederick asked. "We have yet to launch the Sleepless City project, but we've already received deposits from many merchants. The estimates are that we can make five million per month. The Livestreaming Department is even more

    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
