"So, what exactly does the court want with Selene?" Frederick asked with a piercing gaze.

Melanie replied, "Alchemy."

Frederick's expression changed slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "What kind of alchemy?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but it's undeniable that they intend to use Selene as an important medical ingredient," Melanie explained.

"Since Cyrus's death, they haven't given up on targeting Selene. Although they didn't mobilize the Dragon Brigade, they quietly sent people to Mirage City. However, your family has remained low-profile and unnoticed. Plus, since Selene spent most of her time elsewhere, they couldn't find her even after years of searching."

Frederick frowned. "But things are different now."

With his business gaining some recognition in Centropolis, it was only a matter of time before those people traced Selene. She was in significant danger now.

Melanie continued, "Yeah, according to what I've heard, the spies in Mirage City have already started moving to Centropo

    Nella sent a cheeky tongue-out emoji. [I genuinely mean it!]Frederick chuckled, and replied, [You being appointed as the manager of the livestreaming department was something I personally pushed for. Don't let me down! Show us some convincing results!][Mr. Lester, I promise I won't let you down!] Nella replied, adding three exclamation marks.Frederick laughed out loud."Fred, what's making you so happy?" Selene teased as she took a peak at Frederick’s phone. "Wow! Are you texting with another woman? I'm telling Jennifer! Let's see how she handles you!""Don't be ridiculous! That's just one of my managers from work," Frederick hurriedly denied it. Jennifer was already furious at him; the last thing he needed was another misunderstanding."Alright, I'm just joking. No need to get so worked up!" Selene grinned mischievously.Frederick pretended to glare at her. "Now you're teasing me, huh?"As the siblings joked around, a group of drunken men staggered into the carriage. Th

    One of the men pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet, and waved it in the air while grinning lewdly. "Hey, girl. Why don't you come sit with us for a bit? This money could be yours!"Selene shook her head fearfully."Not satisfied? Here you go!" another man said, pulling out another stack of cash, clearly excited. "Don't worry, we can give you more after you please us!” Selene, a well-behaved girl, had never encountered such an unpleasant situation before. She was so scared that she looked away and remained silent."Hey, don't be such a stuck-up! This kind of money could get us a bunch of women at the bar!" the men grumbled angrily.They quickly turned their attention to Frederick."Hey, is this your girlfriend?""No," Frederick replied coldly, crossing his legs.At his subtle signal, a group of men in black suits, who had been sitting quietly in the carriage, put down their newspapers and phones, ready to intervene. However, the three drunkards didn't notice the change i

    "Watch your mouth, bad breath! Apologize to my sister," Frederick said.If Selene hadn't been there, he would have already crushed their heads, killing them.At that moment, the flustered train conductor finally arrived while wiping the sweat on his forehead. "I’m so sorry, Mr. Lester. Our careless staff accidentally let a few drunkards into your carriage. I’ve already fired that staff member!" He quickly apologized. “My entire day is ruined, and you’re making excuses here? Do you think finding a scapegoat will cover up your mistake? I had dinner with your boss yesterday. What do you think he’ll do when he hears about this?" Frederick said coldly.The train conductor immediately pleaded, "Please forgive me, Mr. Lester! It’s my fault for not managing my staff properly!"He knew Frederick could make him lose his job permanently with just a phone call to his boss."The one who’s shaken up is my sister," Frederick said with a dark expression.The train conductor immediately turne

    "What?" The three men were flabbergasted. "A strip dance? We… We…""Hmm?" Frederick raised an eyebrow."N-Nothing! We’ll strip right away!" They immediately began removing their clothes.Selene blushed, and quickly covered her eyes. "Ahh! I don’t want to watch!"Frederick couldn't help but laugh. "Weren’t you always claiming to be an adult? And yet, you can’t even watch a man undress? How are you going to find a boyfriend in the future?"Selene pouted. "Then I’ll stay single forever. I’d love to spend my life with you and Jennifer!”"No way!" Frederick chuckled. "Are we supposed to keep you around as the third wheel forever?"And so, they reached their destination while the three men were still performing wildly. Willa, the law enforcement team leader, dressed in her uniform that accentuated her fit and sexy figure, was there with her team to clear the area. They were responsible for ensuring absolute secrecy for Frederick. "You’re right on time, Mr. Lester!" she said with a

    Without saying a word, Frederick rushed to Aerowind Enterprise.Juliet quickly approached him. "Mr. Lester, Mr. Zeke York is in your office.""I know," Frederick replied with a blank expression.The moment he stepped into the general manager's office, he saw Zeke sitting in his chair with his legs casually propped up on the desk.When Zeke noticed Frederick, he stretched lazily and said with a smirk, "Well, well! Frederick, I didn't realize how comfortable your office is! Not only are there so many beauties here, but even the interior is more luxurious than my office at Prospera Corporation!"Frederick remained silent; he stepped forward to grab Zeke, and yanked him out of the chair. Zeke slammed hard onto the floor.The company employees who were watching from the sidelines were stunned. Their boss just took down the vice president from the parent company. Something exciting was just getting started."Who gave you the permission to sit in my chair?" Frederick demanded coldly.

    “Wait! In this world, it's all about power and connections! It’s useless to be powerful in strength. You'll lose everything you have if you lay a finger on me!" Zeke threatened.Smack!With a swift motion, Frederick slapped Zeke across the face, sending a few of his teeth flying. Holding his now swollen face, Zeke stared at Frederick in disbelief. He was trembling with rage as he roared, "Bastard! As soon as I walk out of this office, you’ll be stripped of everything!"As the COO of Prospera Corporation, Zeke was confident in making this threat, "Not just you! I’ll drag your family down too. Sending them back to the bottom of society, becoming nothing but trash again!"Hearing Zeke threaten his family, a cold glint flashed in Frederick's eyes."Do you think you have the chance to walk out of this office?" Frederick’s tone dripped with murderous intent, making Zeke feel like he had plunged into an icy abyss.“Are you thinking of killing me?” Zeke was terrified. He could almost s

    "Mr. Lester, Prospera is our parent company and Zeke is now the COO of Prospera. Treating him like this will bring you trouble!" Juliet was so anxious that she turned pale."Don't worry, nothing’s going to happen,” Frederick replied with a carefree smile, not taking it seriously at all. He even playfully pinched Juliet's soft cheek.Juliet blushed as she watched Frederick walk away nonchalantly. Then, she stomped her foot in frustration.At that moment, Zeke had already been taken to the hospital, and his dislocated joints were reconnected."Zac, quick! Delete all those videos online!"As soon as Zeke woke up, the first thing he thought about was the people who had recorded him crawling out like a dog.However, Zacharias remained silent, a bitter smile on his face.“Zac…” Zeke stammered. "The video’s gone viral. The download count is one of the highest on the internet,” Zacharias said solemnly.Zeke committed a mouthful of blood as rage overwhelmed him."Don't worry, Zeke.

    “You guys are overconfident. Do you think a trap set by ants could trouble an elephant?"Frederick then slammed his palm down on the table.The table shattered into countless pieces, shooting towards the seven attackers like a storm of shards, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow.With a series of muffled thuds, the seven men froze in place before Frederick. The next moment, they all spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.The table fragments had turned into sharp blades, piercing through the spiritual center in their core. The seven of them were done for. Hendrix’s eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.These seven men were top fighters for the Yorks, yet they were nothing compared to Frederick. He couldn’t comprehend just how terrifying an opponent the Yorks were up against.Frederick sighed, and stood up. Hendrix instinctively took a step back; his arrogance had vanished."Actually, I’m a very nice person. I just wanted to have a good talk, but why do you gu

    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
