“What?!”

Frederick was stunned, and he froze.

Dominic’s family had all been taken out. Without a doubt, he would come after Frederick with a vengeance. And he was still on Dominic’s turf.

If Dominic found out, the consequences would be disastrous.

“Mr. Lester, what’s going on? Is something wrong at my home?” Dominic, noticing Frederick’s strange reaction, asked with suspicion.

Frederick quickly shook his head, trying to stay calm. “Nothing’s wrong! It’s just a mistake by my people. Your family is safe.”

“Thank goodness!” Dominic let out a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. As long as his family was safe, he would endure whatever was needed. He could even bow and scrape if it meant protecting his loved ones.

But then, his phone rang with incoming messages. It was a series of photos showing the brutal aftermath of his family’s murder.

“What is this?!” Dominic’s face turned ashen, overwhelmed by the shock. He collapsed, and fainted on the spot.

    At this point, the Dragon Brigade, the state government, and the Nine Great Ascension Clans had all assembled. They were ready to trap and eliminate Frederick and Willa.Willa surveyed the area, her face growing paler. She had never felt such overwhelming fear and pressure before. Just the hundreds of Savant Grandmasters nearby was enough to crush her a hundred times over! And that didn’t even account for the enemy forces closing in from all sides!“Willa,” Frederick said, suddenly grasping her hand tightly, “do you trust me?”“What?” Willa was still in shock.“Close your eyes.”Frederick uttered each word slowly, and his gaunt face was filled with a cold, menacing intensity.Willa shivered, realizing what he was about to do. She instinctively gripped his wrist, her voice trembling with worry. “Will you die?”Frederick shook his head. “I don’t know.”“Don’t die! Promise me you won’t die!”Tears began to flow uncontrollably from Willa’s eyes. Frederick, seeing her cry for t

    “Frederick, where are you?”The longer Willa couldn’t find Frederick, the more her fear grew.No matter how hard she searched through the pile of corpses, she couldn’t find his familiar, handsome face. There were too many bodies scattered around—thousands of them, some beyond recognition. Even if she did find him, she might not be able to identify him!Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground and wept helplessly. “You bastard… Didn’t you promise me you’d stay alive? Why did you lie to me? With your skills, you could have escaped on your own! Why did you stay behind and fight all those enemies for me?”“Ahem!”Suddenly, a familiar cough came from behind her.“Frederick?”Willa turned around to see Frederick, looking refreshed and dressed in new clothes, standing right in front of her. She was stunned. “You… You’re not dead?”“Without you, I wouldn’t have realized how charming I am,” Frederick said with a half-smile. “After you said that, how could I dare die?”Bang!Willa pu

    Dominic shook with rage. “It was your people who broke into my home and kidnapped my entire family! Who else could it be? Don’t try to shift the blame!”Frederick shrugged. “You’re supposed to be the state governor. With all the schemes and plots you usually think up, can't you see that this is a trap set by someone else? Why would I want to kill your family? What’s my motive? If I wanted to control you, I’d just kidnap your family.”He then added carefully, “If I wanted to deal with you, I could have killed you already! Why go the long way around?”Dominic was momentarily stunned. Frederick’s reasoning seemed to make some sense.Frederick took Willa’s hand. “Enough. It’s pointless to reason with someone who’s already doomed. Take care of yourself, and don’t let yourself be fooled!”With that, Frederick and Willa started running. Meanwhile, Chester and the Dragon Brigade pursued them relentlessly.Though both Frederick and Willa were Savant Grandmasters, Willa’s lower level force

    “If we wait any longer, it'll be too late!” Percy and the others said urgently.Frederick had no choice but to follow Willa’s lead and run after her. Given Chester’s strength, Percy and his men could only hope to buy a few minutes at best.True to Liana’s words, the alley did have a hidden passage leading to a hotel on the outskirts of town. Not only that, the rooms were also perfectly arranged for them. Frederick was astonished. Liana was like a modern-day oracle—her predictions were spot on!She was a terrifying woman. She seemed to know everything!When they arrived at the hotel, Willa was still fuming. She threw her shoes off and collapsed onto the bed. Then, she removed her hairpin, letting her beautiful long hair cascade down her back.“Leave! I want to be alone!” she snapped coldly.Frederick, feeling utterly helpless, said, “Willa, there’s only one room for us! Where am I supposed to go?”“Anywhere but here. Just don’t bother me!” she shot back in frustration.Left

    Queenie’s eyes sparkled the moment she heard the amount Frederick mentioned. She bent down to pick up the card, but stopped halfway.She still had lingering fears about the mission Frederick had just given her.She said nervously, “But… The Sheldon case is huge, and involves Mr. Hunt and his entire family. It’s too big for me to handle alone.”Frederick’s face remained impassive. “Do as I say, and I’ll take care of everything. Phoenix will provide you with protection. Once the job is done, another hundred million will be added to that card.”At the mention of more money, Queenie’s demeanor instantly brightened. She picked up the card eagerly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lester. I’ll make sure to find out where Sheldon is hiding! I'm heading back to the Nine Great Ascension Clans now!”She turned to leave, her hips swaying as she approached the door.Unexpectedly, Frederick suddenly grabbed her by the waist. “Did I say you could leave?”“Did you even think about the consequences of dressin

    Seeing Frederick still standing there like a statue, Willa couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration.She had practically spelled it out for him, but the jerk still didn’t get it?!Grinding her teeth, she got out of bed and grabbed him by the collar. “Are you playing dumb, or are you really that clueless?”Frederick, looking both amused and exasperated, said, “No, I really don’t understand!”“You once said you liked my backside, didn’t you?” Willa leaned in close, her breath warm against Frederick’s skin. “So, what if I don’t mind you touching it?”Frederick was jolted as if he’d been shocked by electricity."Damn!"What the hell?!What the hell was happening?Was Willa serious?!!Willa’s expression was dead serious. “I'm absolutely serious.”She took Frederick’s hand and placed it firmly on her shapely, rounded rear. The sensation was so tempting that it was almost irresistible. Willa had never been this “approachable” before. It only made Frederick’s desire even more

    Willa was stunned.Before she could say anything, Frederick had already unfastened his belt.It was then that she realized her mistake and blurted out, “I... I didn’t mean to!”“Whether you meant it or not, you’ve triggered something in me!” Without saying anything further, Frederick transformed into a predatory force once again. To him, Willa now looked like a helpless little lamb!-When Willa woke up, it was already the following day. Frederick had just realized he hadn’t gone home all night. Jennifer must be worried sick!“Willa, I need to head back,” Frederick said, glancing around.To his surprise, Willa was nowhere to be found. All that remained was a note on the pillow.[I’m sorry about last night. I hope it won’t affect your relationship with Ms. York. I had something to take care of and left. Bye!]Frederick’s emotions were mixed. “She calls me a jerk, but she’s the one who just leaves without a word! And she didn’t even tell me where she’s going!”Well, at le

    “What’s the matter? Are you so exhausted that you can’t get it up?” Jennifer asked, her tone laced with mockery as she watched him with a cold, dismissive smile.Frederick was at a loss for words. He had let things get out of hand! Now, he was in a tough spot.Jennifer rolled her eyes. “I knew it! You men are unreliable! Always out enjoying yourselves, while I spent the whole night waiting for you. And now, you’re out fooling around with other women! Get out! I don’t want to talk to you!” Jennifer dismissed him with a stormy look.Her icy demeanor and unyielding gaze were so intimidating, Frederick couldn’t meet her eyes. She was, after all, his superior.As he reached the door, he stopped suddenly.“Ms. York.”“What now? Do you have more excuses? I don’t want to hear them!” she snapped, unmoved.“No, I just remembered I forgot to give you a birthday present last time.”Frederick hurried out of the room, rummaging through his belongings. After a minute, he returned with a che

    Heston was still scoffing when he received a call from Giovanni.He was taken aback, and he nervously glanced at Frederick.

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
