"Frederick? What the hell are you still doing here?" As soon as Ivan saw him, his anger exploded. "We're having an executive-level discussion. What's a low-level employee like you doing here? Get out!"

"Mr. Graham, you call that a conversation? Sounds more like workplace harassment to me. According to company policy, that's a fireable offense!" Frederick shot back, standing his ground.

Ivan felt cornered and reluctantly backed down.

Eva breathed out relieved. She gave Frederick a grateful look.

Ivan quickly switched to a friendly smile and said, "Eva, I was just joking earlier. No hard feelings, right? Now, let Master Deacon help you to ward off the evil spirits. You'll be feeling better in no time."

Eva agreed out of respect for her superior, though reluctantly.

Deacon approached. With one hand, he checked her pulse while stroking his goatee.

He said solemnly, "Ms. Presley, you've encountered some evil spirits recently. That's why the evil aura has evaded your body, and you've

    Frederick sneered and asked, "Eva, see that? If you had taken the pill earlier, you'd be in the same situation." Eva's eyes widened with shock. She wondered, "But those pills were made from herbal ingredients. How could they be harmful?" Frederick explained, "Even though the pills seem harmless, if you combine them with a mystic arrangement, they turn into deadly poison!" He pointed to a corner vase and continued. "These three roses here have been tampered with and placed in the worst spot in your office. It sends bad energy back to the person who owns the space. "Your desk is set up in a spot with the most intense negative energy. If you stay in that position for too long, you're just going to absorb all that negativity. Additionally, the meticulous arrangement of other items in your office, such as the aquarium, the sculpture, and even the shoe rack, creates a curse known as Cupid's Chain. "If you take the pill, the curse gets activated. You'll become helplessly obsessed with

    Jennifer showed up behind the crowd, dressed in a professional business suit, black stockings, and high heels.Her presence was imposing, catching everyone off guard."Nothing's going on! We're just about to leave!"Nobody expected that their strict and no-nonsense vice president would show up because of the commotion."Ms. Presley, Ms. Smith, what's with you two?" Jennifer crossed her arms, looking at them with a stern expression. "Are you starring in a jealousy drama? Don't forget, you're in management—you should set a good example! In the future, I don't want to see this kind of behavior that harms our company's image happen again!"The two women exchanged nervous looks and forced strained smiles."Okay, we're leaving now!"Jennifer then walked up to Frederick and said coldly, "I just approved your full-time position, and here you are, not working, trying to charm your female supervisors! Frederick, can you do something that's not annoying for once?"Frederick felt a wave of

    "If you're willing, I'll meet any outrageous demand you have!" Marissa said with a flirtatious glance. "I can even dress up as any character you desire!" Disgusted, Frederick smacked her hand away and retorted sharply, "You could strip naked and throw yourself at me, and I still wouldn't be interested. Get lost!" He roughly pushed her aside and left the room quickly. To him, Marissa represented the worst sort of woman—no matter how physically attractive, she just turned his stomach. Inside the hotel room, Marissa's eyes followed Frederick with venom. "Frederick! How dare you reject me?” she muttered. “You'll regret what you've done today!" Suddenly, a man in a dark robe appeared. He smiled sinisterly and asked, "And what would you do to make him pay?" Startled, Marissa blurted out, "Who are you? Stay back, or I'll scream!" "Don't be afraid, I'm Mr. Z." He nonchalantly tossed a cheque on the table—a whopping million dollars. "I'm interested in what you offered him. Deal?"

    Ivan had brought a crew of tattooed thugs with him. They closed in around Frederick, forming an impenetrable circle. "Were you the one who sent that photo to the company group chat?" Frederick asked. He was already boiling with anger, his eyes furious as he faced Ivan. Ivan laughed heartily and admitted, "You can't blame me for that. I just played your own game! “You're the one who allowed yourself to get into a compromising position and handed me the leverage. So, I decided to show it to everyone and make sure to ruin your reputation!" He turned to a menacing-looking man beside him and said, "Don, this is the guy who beat up several of your men at my office." Donnie Brasco had a cigarette dangling from his lips. He sized Frederick up and said with a smirk, "Oh! So, you're the one with the guts to hurt my guys, huh? You owe me a million dollars in medical bills. Pay up, or you'll spend the rest of your life in a hospital!" Frederick shot back, "How about I give you ten millio

    Frederick's gaze was icy and intense. "Spill!” he snarled. “Who gave you the photos and told you to post them in the company group chat?"Frederick doubted Marissa could come up with this plan alone. Someone else had to be involved.Ivan suddenly smirked, his grin cold. "I just remembered—you can't kill me because I'm Director Zeke's man. If you do, Zeke will come after Jennifer, and she might even lose her position! She's only twenty-seven, and already the CEO of the company, but a lot of people in her family are jealous of her!"Frederick didn't react. "Fine, I won't kill you."Ivan got cocky and mocked, "Then let me go! You can fight, loser, but that's all. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!"Smack! Before Ivan could finish, Frederick's hand shot across his face, knocking out a front tooth.Ivan screamed in rage, "You mother—"Smack! Smack! Smack!Frederick didn't give him a chance to finish. He kept slapping him; his hits were relentless and rhythmic."Arg

    "Captain Zephyr, we've investigated, but there are no witnesses nearby. Whoever did this is likely a top-tier expert. Could the murderer be a member of the Tiger Faction or one of the Great Four Warrior Clans?" said a member of the law enforcement team. Willa frowned. "I need to find out who this expert is. Go ahead! Look into this!" Just then, someone rushed in with urgent news. "Captain Zephyr, we received an emergency order. The higher-ups want us to report that Donnie was causing trouble in the streets, and our team shot him dead!" Willa's expression changed dramatically. "Again? Last time, with the Ripper incident, the mayor's office ordered us to take credit even though our team didn’t solve the case!" "Maybe your dad is trying to help you get ahead," a subordinate replied awkwardly. "Cut it out!” Willa snapped. “I became Captain Zephyr because of my hard work. It has nothing to do with my dad being mayor!" "Yes, Captain..." Willa frowned as she recalled the man who

    Frederick felt uncomfortable. He glanced around and asked, "Ms. Smith, don't you think you're a bit much? Everyone is staring at us."With a beaming smile, Jasmine replied, "They're just jealous!"Frederick's mouth twitched, unable to form a response."By the way, you mentioned Jen was in danger here, right? But it doesn't seem like there are any traps, from what I can tell," Jasmine said, shifting the topic.Frederick shook his head, explaining, "Danger often hides in the shadows. It's not absent; it just hasn't shown itself yet."Meanwhile, Jennifer was upstairs in a business meeting. When she saw Jasmine and Frederick, displeasure flickered across her face. Why was he here? Did he show up at the banquet, trying to irritate her even more?"Would you like me to deal with him?" Donovan made the suggestion with malicious intent.Jennifer dismissed the idea. "Leave it. Just ignore him. I don't want him to interrupt my networking here." She had planned meetings with several b

    Jennifer was well aware that Frederick, who came from a modest background, wasn't familiar with the games played by the wealthy elite. Despite their laid-back appearance, Stan and his friends were worldly and accustomed to high society, having grown up with one-on-one tutoring and luxurious international education. In terms of various skills, they far surpassed the average person. Moreover, betting a million on a game with such poor odds was a sure path to disaster. Jennifer's expression was stern as she said, "You're just a low-wage worker earning a few thousand a month. What will you do if you lose? How will you cover a million-dollar debt? Your family struggled to raise you; don't ruin your life trying to show off." After a moment of shock, Stan and his friends burst into laughter. "Man! We seriously thought you were a wealthy child in disguise; however, you are a poor child earning a pitiful wage." "If you can't afford to play, then scram! This isn't a game for someone

    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
