Frederick was holding back the nuclear bomb's explosion with his body!That was beyond the realm of ordinary humans—something even a person's wildest dreams couldn't conceive!"Whether it's possible or not, you'll find out when you try," Frederick said with a smirk.In this world, only his formidable body could withstand the immense force of a nuclear explosion."You're insane! You'll die!" Six shouted. "You're a complete lunatic!""I won't die!" Frederick enunciated each word clearly. "I am Hades, the Dark Monarch!"Boom!Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, a colossal explosion erupted in the sky, transforming into countless dazzling fireworks that briefly illuminated the heavens before dissipating. An entire layer of clouds was torn open, leaving a massive gash in the sky.Everyone's faces changed dramatically.Seiryu's eyes widened in shock as he bellowed, "Lord Hades!""Is he dead?" Cassandra felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow. She slumped to the ground i
"What did you say…" In an instant, Jennifer collapsed to the floor as if struck by lightning."Jen! What's wrong?" Jasmine was deeply alarmed, her face turning pale."Felix just told me that the news we received was completely false! A mysterious figure attacked the Divine Healer Championship. Even the Seafarer Healer was killed on the spot, and many high-ranking individuals were injured or killed. Frederick is in grave danger!""That's impossible!" Jasmine felt goosebumps all over her as she said vehemently, "Frederick won't die! H-He's invincible, right? He can handle anything! How could he possibly die in such a situation?"Jennifer fumbled to pull out her phone. "Exactly! You're right! I'll call him right now. I'm sure he's fine!"Despite the phone ringing repeatedly, there was no response. The call went unanswered.The worry and helplessness on both women's faces intensified, their anxiety palpable."Maybe his phone ran out of battery? That's why he's not answering?"J
"Are you out of your mind? Why should I help your company?" Judith sneered. "I'm busy! I'm hanging up!""Wait!" Jennifer exclaimed, trying to stop her. "Have you forgotten that we're allies? You promised me that you would lend your full support in times of trouble!""Hah! The only reason I agreed to the alliance before was because of Frederick!" Judith's voice was dripping with disdain. "Do you think I’d lower myself to help you without him? Now that there are rumors he died at the Divine Healer Championship, there's no reason for me to continue the cooperation!""You can't just burn bridges like this…" Jennifer was fuming, ready to unleash her anger. But Judith had already ended the call, unwilling to waste any more time on petty arguments.Jennifer's face darkened as she grew furious. "Two-faced, unreliable schemers!"She was beginning to realize that Judith's previous cooperation was entirely due to Frederick's influence. Without him, there was no one left who could help save t
“You're awake?"Frederick heard the footsteps outside, and turned his attention to the source. The footsteps were light and gentle.The voice was pleasant, and the figure that accompanied it was stunning—a shapely figure, a delicate and refined face, and something about her seemed familiar.Wait! Familiar? Frederick's eyes widened in recognition.That woman was...“Nella?" His tongue nearly twisted over the name.The young woman in jeans and a T-shirt gave a small, warm smile. “What's wrong? It's only been a few days since we last met, and you don't remember me? Really, the more influential people get, the more they forget!"“Without that sexy slit skirt and the makeup you wear as a livestreamer, it's a bit unfamiliar," Frederick remarked with a hint of nostalgia.He then looked astonished. “What is going on here? Tell me quickly!"“I'm just as confused. I was walking down the street when suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed right in front of me!" Nella replied, t
In the kitchen, Frederick was bustling around, cooking up a storm.There was spaghetti, meatloaf, roast chicken, baked potatoes, minestrone soup, and many others. The various dishes he was cooking filled the air with an incredibly tempting aroma.Nella was immediately captivated by the array of dishes, her mouth watering as she took in the sight."Don't just stand there staring! Eat up!" Frederick said, serving her a generous helping of spaghetti.Nella didn't hesitate. She sat down, and began to eat heartily. She was used to fast food, so much so that she had nearly forgotten what real, delicious food tasted like.Until today!"Mr. Lester, you're such a busy person. You manage countless tasks every day, but you make such delicious food!"She marveled at him. Within just three minutes, she had already finished two plates of spaghetti.Frederick was amused. "Slow down. There's no one here to compete with you for the food. You're at your own place, after all.""I'm sorry! Mr. Le
Nella's exaggerated reaction left Frederick somewhat taken aback."Who’s that person outside?" he asked, his tone shifting between anger and concern."My ex-boyfriend! He's a gambler—a reckless one! He's capable of anything!" Nella's face was ashen. "So, Mr. Lester, I'm begging you—please don't open the door! If you do, I'm certain I'll be in serious trouble!"Frederick paused, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he made a decisive turn and reached for the door handle."Don't!" Nella's desperate cry was too late. The door was already opening."Nella!"A man with a relatively handsome face barged in. Upon seeing Frederick, his expression turned furious. "You filthy liar! So you're really sneaking around with another man! What a tramp!"He raised his hand, and slapped Nella hard.The blow made Nella stumble, crashing into the coffee table. Her knee struck the edge, immediately drawing blood."How dare you hit me?" she demanded, her eyes wide with shock and fury. She l
Nella's face instantly turned ashen when she heard those words. Her expression was one of utter despair as she cast a final, hopeless glance at Frederick. It seemed that, once again, she was reminded of the unreliability of men. Her late alcoholic father had been like this, and now, her gambling ex-boyfriend was proving to be just the same!For someone as young and accomplished as Frederick, a small-time livestreamer like herself was indeed insignificant."Carl! Why are you here again? I'm no longer your girlfriend! Get out!" she yelled, her eyes bloodshot and her voice dripping with venom."Nella, stop causing a scene. If you come back to me, I'll treat you the same way I did before!" Carl seemed unfazed, reaching out as if he intended to embrace her just as he had in the past.No matter how outrageous his behavior had been, a little flattery was usually enough to win her back and draw her into his arms. But this time, his usual tricks didn't work.Nella stepped forward qui
"Is that really an option?" Carl's face lit up with joy at the suggestion. "No problem! After all, she's my woman. I've been with her many times before—she knows the ropes! It'll be a piece of cake for her to please you."Drake smirked, and rested his chin on his hand. Then, he said, "Not bad. You may be a jerk, but you know how to play the game!""Carl Jordon! Are you even human? Are you really selling me off?!" Nella yelled. She was thunderstruck, her anger boiling over. She couldn't believe she had once been so blind as to be with such a person. Look at what he was saying—how could he even be considered human?"Nella, why are you making a fuss? This isn't the first time. Haven't we done this sort of thing before? This time, it's just with Mr. Drake instead!" Carl laughed shamelessly, reaching out to grab Nella. "Come on, hurry up and serve Mr. Drake properly!"However, she refused to obey him and lashed out. "Get away! I told you, we already broke up! You don't have the ri
