"Now that the bidding is over, this woman is most likely already in Big Boss's," Josephine said soberly.As she spoke, the crowd went as silent as the grave below. No one dared to openly challenge Theodore. After all, he was the big boss of the Crimson Robe Society.Fiona was also well aware of this fact. This was the Crimson Robe Society’s turf, and Theodore's words were akin to royal edicts. Without further hesitation, she swiftly announced, "Five billion going once! Five billion going twice! Five billion going thri—huh?"Just as she was about to say "thrice," she noticed a sturdy figure appear beside her, heading straight for the iron cage."Frederick!"Everyone was stunned.Byron couldn't even close his mouth. When did Frederick sneak over there? How did he go unnoticed?!Frederick bent down, knelt beside the cage, and reached out, gently stroking the woman's head."They haven't harmed you, have they? Don't be afraid, I'm here now. Everything will be okay."Frederick g
Fiona had seen many things as an auctioneer—but this sight was too shocking, and she fell to the ground in fright."M-Mr. Lester, how could you...commit murder on the spot?"Frederick coldly retorted, "Ms. Graham, I apologize, but I'm not targeting you."I'm only targeting the entire Crimson Robe Society. That's all!"And yes, the thirty billion was just talk. I never intended to give you a single penny."Whether it's that star or the Dancing Dove Regalia, if you won't give them to me, I'll take them by force!"He spread his fingers, and blasted open the iron cage!Fortunately, aside from being extremely weak and disoriented, Jennifer had no other injuries.After gathering her in his arms, Frederick leaped away, landing a hundred meters away instantly.The entire Crimson Robe Society erupted into chaos. Everyone was furious!Not wanting to pay a single penny but wanting the Crimson Robe Society's belongings?! How arrogant! How overbearing!Frederick showed utter disregard
At night, Centropolis was exceptionally noisy.Jasmine reluctantly returned home to the Smith family's estate, where Douglas was waiting for her."Grandpa! Why did you call me back? Don't you know the company is at a critical stage?" Her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at Douglas.Ever since Aerowind Enterprise landed the Sleepless City project, Jasmine has shifted her focus to livestreaming and e-commerce. This move was perfect timing, given the government's supportive policies for live e-commerce. Aerowind Enterprise's products had performed exceptionally well overseas, capturing 30% of Aston State's market share. She even planned to expand into other states."If this is about another blind date, it's unnecessary!" Jasmine grumbled.Douglas was seated in his armchair. He calmly poured tea and smoked his pipe, unruffled. "Jaz, at this point, are you really pretending to be clueless, or do you truly not know what's going on? Don't you know Centropolis is in big trouble?""Tro
"No! Make it 15%!" Frederick added. "I want them to remember this forever!"Phoenix gladly accepted his order. "Yes, my lord! Don't worry. I'll ensure the Nine Ancient Savant Clans never forget this day!"The next day, Centropolis was in turmoil.All the major families received news of a man named Frederick, who had single-handedly wiped out the entire Crimson Robe Society.Despite orders from the state government to keep quiet, the upper echelons couldn't be controlled. The Nine Ancient Savant Clans were furious! Not only were their juniors slaughtered in the Crimson Robe Society, but their own market value evaporated by billions. They immediately mobilized forces to confront Frederick.However, they faced strong resistance right away. Liana, who was from the top clan in the Northern Frontier, declared that anyone who dared touch Frederick would be considered as declaring war against the Yarborough family. Even though the Nine Ancient Savant Clans were in their home ground i
"Frederick! I here to discuss serious matters with you, not for this!" Jasmine said, panicking all of a sudden.She hadn't expected him to make such bold moves in broad daylight. If someone suddenly barged in, wouldn't they see everything?"Can we wait until tonight? I'll personally..." she attempted to plead.But Frederick couldn't hold back. He pounced on her like a hungry beast!Gradually, Jasmine's stubborn defenses collapsed.In the end, Frederick left countless marks on her delicate body. Once they were done, he contentedly put on his clothes and sat quietly by the French window, gazing outside.Jasmine rolled her eyes helplessly. "You really are like a wild beast!"Indeed, men only shed all their disguises when they were doing that kind of thing.However, Frederick still appeared melancholic."Jen’s sick. She's mentally sick, and this time, even I can't cure her!" he said, anguished. His actions with Jasmine were merely to vent his inner frustrations and pressures.J
"It's nothing. Just a crazy woman. Nothing to worry about." Frederick waved his hand dismissively.It wasn't the first time Liana had lost her temper. There was no need to make a fuss about it. Besides, he wasn't afraid of minor local bosses in Centropolis."The most important thing now is Ms. York's condition," Frederick pondered. "It's like she currently has dementia, and only the Revival Pill might work."The key issue is that eight of the twelve medicinal ingredients needed to make this pill are impossible to buy in Aston. For example, the revival herb is only found in the Northern Frontier, and the red mandrake roots are a specialty of the Orienta...""That might not be the case," Jasmine immediately interjected. "The Divine Sanctum might have them! It's the largest pharmacy in Centropolis, backed by Nine Great Ascension Clans and the state government. They hold a collection of precious medicinal herbs from around the world."But the prices might be steep. The cost of medicin
"An accident?" Upon hearing the commotion, everyone at the scene gathered around. There was a plainly dressed young man holding an elderly lady with white hair. She was barely conscious, and was bleeding from several wounds. "Please save my mom! She's dying!" the young man cried desperately."Oh my! Was she injured so severely from the hit? Her organs must be ruined!""So tragic! Who wouldn't break down emotionally in public when their loved one's life is at risk? It's all life's pressures!""Thankfully, she was brought to Divine Sanctum immediately! The doctors here are amazing, so there might still be hope!""Not so fast! The costs here..."As the crowd whispered amongst themselves, a stout man in a yellow overcoat, carrying a teapot, swaggered over."What's all this noise about? I'm here!" he proclaimed."It's Dr. Olson! He's the boss of Divine Sanctum and the best physician here! He's treated many powerful and wealthy people!"The crowd couldn't help but get excited. Lo
Several Divine Sanctum staff froze in place, eyes wide with anger. "Where did this crazy woman come from? Get out of the way!" But the next moment, they were sent flying in all directions.Frederick walked forward. "Who are you calling a crazy woman?"Louis's expression darkened. "And who are you?""I didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing," Frederick sighed, and shook his head. Then, he pointed to Jennifer, who stood resolute beside him. "But it seems she's subconsciously inclined to protect this mother and son. So, I'll reluctantly step in."It was his own fault for cherishing his wife so much.With that, silver needles suddenly appeared at his fingertips.Louis's expression changed slightly. "Are you also a physician?""Boss! He's the one who wants to buy our medicinal ingredients at a high price!" the receptionist reminded him quickly.Realizing this, Louis said, "Oh, it's you! Haha! Turns out you're someone who likes to meddle in people’s affairs! This old lad
