"You're so noisy!"Just as Louis finished speaking, a member of the Dragon Brigade suddenly acted, smashing his head with a palm.Boom!A gush of blood sprayed from Louis's head, and he collapsed to the ground.Frederick was dumbfounded. Weren't they here to rescue Louis? Why did they suddenly kill him?"Calm down. Mr. Lester, we're not here to fight you.""Louis was just a small fry, but he dared to order us around. He deserved to die, nothing more."One of them handed Frederick a cigarette and lit it."We're from the Dragon Brigade. My codename is Peacock, and that guy is Tiger Shark. We came here to meet you."Frederick had heard of the Dragon Brigade before, where members were known only by their codenames.They were known as the team with the cleanest and most honorable reputation in the Imperial Capital. In truth, they were a secret agency that specialized in handling shady situations the upper class couldn't handle themselves. Their members were distributed throughout
Frederick had infuriated both Peacock and Tiger Shark, and they held nothing back.Tiger Shark charged like a tank towards Frederick. He looked unstoppable.With just one hand, Frederick instantly halted Tiger Shark's movement, leaving him unable to move an inch.Peacock grew impatient when Tiger Shark showed no signs of moving. "Tiger Shark! Stop fooling around! Finish him off so we can report back!""I... I can't move! This guy is really skilled!" Tiger Shark yelled.Tiger Shark stood frozen on the spot. He was frustrated beyond words. Despite exerting all his strength, he couldn't move!Peacock was stunned. "How is this possible?"A Dragon Brigade member's combat prowess was comparable to the top twenty Savant Grandmasters in Aston State, and that was referring to an ordinary soldier from the brigade. If it were a higher-ranking member, they could easily annihilate all the experts in Aston State without a scratch."Do you need my help? I'll take half the credit!" Peacock sai
Tiger Shark was frozen and dumbfounded.Weren't they here to drive Frederick out of Centropolis? How did this turn into a full-blown job recruitment? Peacock was even detailing their benefits so specifically!What was going on?!Peacock continued passionately, "In the Dragon Brigade, we directly obey commands from the Imperial Capital's court. No force has the authority to command us. We wield great power and hold high status..."Frederick burst out laughing. "Interesting! You're quite interesting!"He saw through Peacock's strategy of using retreat as a tactic to advance.Then, he said in a serious tone, "I won't join the Dragon Brigade. However, I can do you a favor. Your brigade wants me out of Centropolis, right? Fine! I never planned to stay here anyway. I just need to finish some business. At most, I'll need a month. I'll leave Centropolis after that.""Are you asking the Dragon Brigade to accommodate you for a month?" Tiger Shark gritted his teeth, enduring intense pain a
When Frederick saw Jennifer revert to her normal self and heard her speak such heartless words to him, he felt a mix of emotions. "Why?" he asked.Jennifer's expression was cold as ice. "Because I misjudged you! You're just a jerk!"Frederick clicked his tongue. "Ms. York, you're being unreasonable! Do you know I came all the way from Mirage City to rescue you after you were captured in Centropolis? Do you still not know that Zoey framed me? I didn't do anything that day!"Jennifer sneered. "Rescue me? Do you know how long it took from when the Crimson Society captured me to when you finally came here? A week! A whole week!"If I hadn't pretended to be crazy, I would have been defiled by Theodore!"And where were you during that time? Did you finally remember I existed after you fooled around enough? You suddenly remembered that I was still useless to you, right? Otherwise, Aerowind Enterprise wouldn't have anyone supporting it, and it wouldn't survive!"Jennifer continued pr
"I... I'm fine..." Jennifer bit her crimson lips, and tried her best to control her voice. She felt Frederick's hand move slowly, sliding smoothly over her lower abdomen and further down. She couldn't help but gasp, her whole body tense and trembling."Ms. York, are you really okay? You sound like you're sick. Should I call an ambulance for you right now?" Lydia asked with concern."I said I'm fine!" Jennifer couldn't bear it anymore, so she threw her phone to the side after hanging up.Then she turned around, her face flushed as she glared at Frederick. "I won't forgive you!"Frederick grabbed her hair, greedily sucking and biting every inch of her skin. "I never expected you to forgive me. You wanted to drop all the pretenses, right? Well, I'm not pretending to be a gentleman anymore!"The temperature between them rose gradually, and their breathing became increasingly rapid.Frederick lifted Jennifer up, and leaned her against the sofa cushion.However, Jennifer's delicate
"Tsk! I think you're just jealous. If women can't have something, they want to ruin it. That's not good." Frederick smirked.The corners of Jennifer's mouth twitched. "I can't be bothered with your narcissism! I'm booking a flight back to Mirage City today. Want to join me? I still have a first-class seat available.""I'll return in a few days. By the way, Zoey's framing of you this time is likely orchestrated by the York family behind the scenes," Frederick said.Jennifer scowled. "I'm well aware. Zoey drugged me back then, and said it was on Grandfather's orders. When I return to Mirage City this time, don't blame me for causing chaos and bloodshed!"Frederick knew Jennifer wasn't someone to mess with. With her ruthless tactics, the York family was definitely in for trouble! But..."Even in revenge, you should be prudent. A cornered dog will jump over a wall," Frederick cautioned. Xavier could do anything when he's desperate."Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Jennifer s
Frederick glanced at her without any change in his expression. She was indeed stunning. Her beauty was compared to celebrities.Queenie smiled charmingly. "Hello, Mr. Lester. My name is Queenie Turner. I'm a local actress and singer from Aston. I was also the runner-up in the Sialon Beauty Pageant three years ago.""So, what gift did you bring me? And why are you delivering it on behalf of someone?" Frederick asked directly."The gift, of course, is...myself!" Queenie swiftly unbuttoned her coat. Underneath, she wore only a revealing crop top that accentuated her slender waist. It also exposed her midriff and highlighted her beautiful curves, especially her fair cleavage that quickened the blood circulation in any man.With hands on her hips and seductive eyes, she purred, "I've come here on behalf of the Nine Great Ascension Clans' esteemed members. They sent me as a gift to you, Mr. Lester!"Frederick suddenly understood, and chuckled. "I see. So this is about the Crimson Robe
Queenie was furious. "What do you mean by that?!" If he didn't intend to have her, why make her strip? She had undressed completely, and he had seen everything before dismissing her—wasn't that like mocking her, like she’s a clown in a circus?"Because your breasts are sagging." Frederick looked her up and down, and said sincerely, "Compared to Ms. York and Ms. Smith, you're way off. How tacky! And you want me to touch you? No way.""You're messing with me!" Queenie was stunned, but she immediately trembled with cold anger. "Do you know who you're rejecting? A celebrity who came to you willingly! You uncultured bumpkin! You can't even appreciate an opportunity!"Frederick sneered, "Do you think I'm like those sugar daddies and men who think with their lower parts?"With that, he swiftly retrieved a small camera from her jacket.Queenie was instantly ashen-faced."There are at least seven or eight of these on you," Frederick chuckled. "Will you voluntarily confess, or...should I
