"Is that so? Well, thank you for the invitation, Mr. Lowe," Frederick said with a smirk.

Everyone’s expression darkened at Frederick’s arrival.

Before he was here, they had all been talking big, but now, they immediately backed down and behaved submissively. This was how the businessmen typically acted in front of Frederick.

"You said you were hosting this banquet to apologize to our company, right? Where's the wine? Bring it out!" Frederick casually sat in Albert Lowe's seat.

Albert forced a smile, and said, "Everything is ready. Bring out the fine wine everyone brought for Mr. Lester!"

Jasmine couldn't help but chuckle. Frederick had taken control of the situation the moment he arrived, turning the tables completely. No wonder these arrogant businessmen were so afraid of him. It seemed she had a lot to learn from him in the business world.

In no time, various famous and old wine bottles were placed before Frederick.

"Mr. Lester, here's a toast to you!"

    The slap left Albert seeing stars and bleeding from the corners of his mouth. The crowd was stunned to see him sprawled on the floor. “He’s not drunk?” They were surprised to see Frederick sober after downing a ton of liquor."That was some good stuff. The more I drank, the more awake I felt!" Frederick hiccuped, then added, "Thanks for the hospitality. Now, let's get down to business.""Some of you took advantage of my absence to extort Aerowind, right?" Frederick asked, his gaze sweeping over the silent crowd. "Those who did that, step forward voluntarily and I'll spare you.”Instantly, a dozen people trembled as they stepped forward. "Mr. Lester, we're sorry, we—""Kill them," Frederick cut them off with a brutal order.A group of men in suits stormed in, grabbed the offenders, and dragged them to the windows."Mr. Lester, you said you'd let us go if we confessed!""A man should keep his word! You can't go back on it now!""Mr. Lester, please, spare us! We don't deserve

    Even though the businessmen offered their bodyguards a lot of money, what was the point if they couldn't live to enjoy it? They weren't foolish. No amount of money was worth their lives. The businessmen’s faces turned ashen, and they trembled in fear when their bodyguards left. “Mr. Lester, we—”Their pleas were cut off by Frederick. "Throw them out!" Frederick ordered without even turning back as he walked away.Soon, the curses from the businessmen gradually faded into silence.Looking at the mess, Jasmine sighed. "So, you planned to eliminate these people from the beginning. And here I thought you were foolish enough to walk into someone else's trap."Frederick smiled faintly. "I told you, I’ll get rid of these obstacles for you before I leave."It only took an hour to deal with them."We have less than an hour to Ms. York's boarding the plane. Shouldn't we hurry?" Jasmine rolled her eyes."Oh right! I almost forgot! Damn it!" Frederick hurriedly dismissed his men. "E

    What greeted Frederick was a room filled with a foul odor and the smell of disinfectant. At least a dozen military doctors were inside, working frantically and sweating profusely. Frederick had a sense of foreboding."Where's Seiryu?" He grabbed a doctor's collar, trying to maintain his composure but failing."He's behind the curtain," the doctor replied, his face pale and his voice shaky. "I advise you not to go see him. There's no chance of saving him.""Idiot! Get lost!" Frederick snapped.He strode into the room angrily.Behind the curtain, several doctors were performing surgery on a man who was covered in bandages. His eyes were closed, and only his lips were still moving slightly.Frederick was taken aback. He wondered how Seiryu got himself so severely injured."Everyone out! I'll take over!" Frederick could feel his blood boiling. The doctors were startled, and they quickly retreated.Frederick walked up to Seiryu and, upon closer inspection, his expression froze.

    "If I hadn't held on and waited until the woman lowered her guard, I wouldn't have been able to see you again," Seiryu said with a wry smile. "I fought so hard to stay alive just to see you one last time."Upon hearing that, Frederick’s tears began to fall. It was the first time he had cried in years."Stay with me! Don’t die! I’ll find a way to save you! Until then, you can't die!" Frederick commanded desperately.Seiryu chuckled weakly. "You still have that same heroic spirit as back in the day, my lord. Honestly, being with you all these years, I've lived my life to the fullest. It’s more than enough."With that, his eyelids began to close slowly. "My lord, promise me, you won't seek revenge... I suspect that Organization V is part of a large-scale conspiracy, aiming to destroy us all. If you stay out of it, there might still be a future for the Northern Frontier. Otherwise, it’ll bring you absolute misfortune. Let's be brothers in the next life.""No! Wake up!" Frederick could

    "Tell them I demanded it. I want to see who’s bold enough to stop me!" Frederick had a murderous expression. "Do they think they can stay in their positions because I lack the power to take over? As long as I wish, anyone could be the King of Drakonia. Not even God could stop me!"Phoenix was shocked. This wasn't like the Dark Monarch at all! It seemed Frederick was so consumed by anger, he dared to say such treasonous words. Even so, Phoenix knew Frederick wasn’t all talk. After all, Frederick was the strongest man in Drakonia.Upon hearing those words, she admired Frederick more."I'll have Seiryu's body taken back, and hold a state funeral at the Temple of the Sun. Anyone who obstructs it will be considered an enemy of the Dark Monarch and killed on sight!" she declared. Frederick simply nodded, and walked away. "I want to be alone. Don’t follow me."He stood outside the military camp, lost in memories of Seiryu. Seiryu's tragic death had hit him hard. He didn't even know

    Liana was being tied up, and she was wearing only a thin silk nightgown. The rope left marks on her pale thighs, and her hair was disheveled. With her bloodshot eyes, she no longer resembled the proud princess she usually was.Frederick murmured to himself, "No one would have expected that the Northern Frontier's spoiled princess is now a hostage. She had it rough today."Listening to Liana, it seemed like the group attacking her was specifically targeting her and had some significant backing. Frederick decided to wait and observe the situation before acting.Just then, a few bearded middle-aged men stood before her, smirking as one of them grabbed her chin.“You're still putting on airs now, huh? Do you think you're still in the Northern Frontier, where the Yarboroughs are in command?""We're here to take you out under your uncles' orders. Then, we’ll blame your death on Centropolis's most notorious outlaw, Sheldon York!""Losing an heiress wouldn’t be a big deal to the Yarbor

    “Ahh!” A scream was heard. In an instant, one of the men's skulls cracked open, spewing a fountain of blood. A silver needle was the cause of his agony.Frederick walked out calmly, saying, "I'm not interested in your conflicts or what they're about. Leave her here, and you guys can walk away alive."Everyone froze. Liana's eyes widened in shock, and she cried, "Honey!"Frederick's eyes twitched at the word. ‘Who are you calling that? We’re not married yet. I’m only your fiance!’ he thought to himself."You're Liana's kept man, huh? Butt out, or we'll kill you!" the men exclaimed with a murderous expression.In a flash, dozens of shadows lunged at Frederick. He sighed. "I was planning to let you guys go..." Boom!Before he even finished speaking, the men were flung backward like cannonballs. They hit the ground hard, suffering comminuted fractures and bleeding from all their orifices.The rest of the men were terrified. "How could such a powerful person exist in a pl

    "Those men just now were sent by my uncles," Liana explained with a trembling voice. It was surprising to see this egotistical woman so scared.Frederick asked, "So, what's the current situation with the Yarboroughs?""My father is cornered by my uncles. Many of the family's elders have switched sides, and he’s in a dangerous position now. That's why they dared to invade my place and even planned to bury me alive. After the heir is out of the picture, they could control the Yarboroughs as they wish."Frederick remained silent.Liana continued while sobbing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you all this. You have nothing to do with this mess. I'm grateful that you’re here to save me. But now... I fear I'm no longer worthy of you. I’m nothing without my status as the heir to the Yarboroughs."Frederick stepped away, and made a phone call. "It's Frederick. I heard there's some trouble with the Yarboroughs. Can you handle it for me? Yes, right now."Liana was taken aback. "No way!

    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
