Seeing the man’s confident expression, Edmund hesitantly took out his phone and dialed his father’s number. However, his face grew increasingly grim as the call couldn’t get through.

“No way! My dad is the chief of the State Enforcement Bureau! Who could take him down so quietly?” Edmund insisted, though his trembling hands and rapid breathing betrayed his inner panic.

He kept trying to reach anyone connected to his father, but all the calls went unanswered.

“Stop struggling. Let me tell you, your father was detained just ten minutes ago!” the middle-aged man said coldly. “According to the investigation, he owns over a thousand properties in the state. He also embezzled funds exceeding billions. At best, he’s looking at a life sentence.”

Edmund collapsed to the ground upon hearing that.

“No way! How could this happen... Who are you?” he asked the middle-aged man, stammering all the way.

“Don’t you recognize me? I’m Levi.”

Edmund was thunderstruck—Levi Zephyr, chief prosecutor

    After speaking, Frederick left the interrogation without giving Edmund another glance. Edmund, now completely numb, watched in a daze as Frederick left.“By the way, whichever hand he used to touch me earlier, cut it off,” Frederick’s voice echoed back into the interrogation room from outside.All that was left for Edmund was despair. “How did you know I was here?” Frederick asked Levi. He wasn’t lying—he didn’t know Levi at all.“Lord Hades, I happened to be with Matthew when you were on the phone with him. I offered to come and take care of the mess. Please, don’t blame Matthew,” Levi quickly explained with a smile.Frederick nodded. He had been talking to Matthew when Edmund took him away.“What do you want in return?” Frederick asked directly. At Levi’s level, he wouldn’t be this deferential unless he needed something.“Lord Hades, I’ll be honest since you asked. Next month, I’ll be taking a post at the Northern Frontier. I hope you can take me under your wing,” Levi said

    After a relentless and exhaustive search, Levi quickly discovered Jennifer's whereabouts."Lord Hades, we've located Ms. York! She's being held in an abandoned factory on the northern outskirts!" Levi personally led the rescue operation, and immediately reported his findings to Frederick."Great, you’ve done a good job!" Frederick's response made Levi overjoyed."Just call me Mr. Lester from now on," Frederick added.Frederick’s words indicated that he had preliminarily accepted Levi."Yes, Mr. Lester! We’ll arrive at the scene in ten minutes. We’ve deployed three hundred officers, enough to surround the factory completely. Not even a fly can get out!" Levi said excitedly."Secure the area once you arrive. Wait for my arrival before taking any action," Frederick instructed before hurrying to the scene himself.Levi’s team arrived shortly after. Three hundred law enforcement officers spread out, surrounding the abandoned factory.Inside the factory, Jennifer was tightly boun

    "Stop moving! Who are you?" shouted the man in black, pressing the knife harder against Jennifer's neck; droplets of blood seeped out.Levi immediately stopped in his tracks, and said, "Calm down! I'm willing to trade myself for the hostage. I'm the chief prosecutor of State Supervision. If you want to escape, wouldn’t it be better to take me hostage instead?" The man in black hesitated as he eyed Levi suspiciously."How do I know if you're telling the truth?" he asked.Levi took out his official badge from his pocket, and tossed it to the man. The man caught the badge with one hand, and carefully examined it."Why would someone of your status willingly risk your life to become a hostage? What's your real motive?" he questioned."That's not your concern. You’ll only have to decide whether to accept the deal. I must tell you, you're already surrounded by law enforcement. Even if you have Jennifer as a hostage, they might risk hurting her to stop you. But if you take me instead,

    Frederick saw the bloody hole in Levi’s chest, and quickly pieced together what must have happened before he arrived."You’re trained in combat?" Frederick asked, feeling a bit surprised."I practiced some martial arts, but unfortunately, I wasn’t skilled enough to beat that thug," Levi replied as he gasped for air. Blood kept coming out from his mouth, and his face grew paler by the second."As the chief prosecutor of State Supervision, was it necessary to risk your life like this?" Frederick hadn’t expected Levi to go to such lengths just to earn his favor."I didn’t want to miss this chance…but it looks like I’m about to die…" Levi could feel his strength fading, signaling that his time was nearly up. After all, the knife had pierced his heart."You won’t die so easily in my presence," Frederick said with a smirk. He bent down, and pulled the knife out of Levi’s chest."No, don’t!" one of the officers shouted in alarm. If the knife remained untouched, there was a slim chance L

    Frederick chased after Jennifer, but under Five’s relentless attacks, he had to split his attention to dodge. This made him unable to fully increase his speed. He could barely keep up with them. At the same time, he couldn’t spare any energy to counterattack against Five.Before long, Frederick was covered in wounds. He lost track of how far he had chased them. All he knew was that the surroundings had become increasingly desolate. They had even arrived in a desert—a place that shouldn’t exist anywhere near Mirage City.However, he never gave up on chasing after them all day.Frederick finally came to a stop during nighttime. It wasn’t because he had given up—it was because he had reached the edge of a cliff.The person holding Jennifer stood at the edge and turned back to smirked at Frederick. The next moment, they tossed Jennifer over the cliff.“No!” Frederick screamed as his eyes widened in horror. He threw himself off the cliff, catching Jennifer in his arms. But now

    "Did you think I wouldn’t catch up with your speed? If I hadn’t let you run, how else could I have lured you guys out in one go?" Frederick whispered in Seven’s ears. His voice sent a shiver down Seven’s spine.Seven tried to attack the space beside him, but it hit nothing but air.The next moment, a hand pierced through his chest, and flames ignited, lighting up the night sky. Seven looked down, and saw his heart being clutched in a dragon claw.With just a squeeze, his heart was crushed to pieces.The remaining five watched in horror.They scattered in all directions, trying to flee. The flames in Frederick’s hand extinguished, and he vanished along with them.In a flash, he reappeared next to Five."Give up. I’m everywhere the droplets are."In the pitch-black night, Frederick was more skillful than the world's most elite assassins, leaving people with no place to hide, no way to escape.Five fled in a panic, but Frederick had his head in his grip.Crack!Frederick crus

    "We’re out in the wild..." Frederick broke away from Jennifer’s kiss, only to have his mouth sealed again. Jennifer wrapped her legs around his waist as he grabbed her butt. Soon, they began undressing each other. After an intense session, Jennifer leaned against Frederick, panting heavily."Why are you so wild all of a sudden?" Frederick chuckled, gazing at the moon.He thought Jeniffer was going to devour him just now. As soon as he finished asking, Jennifer flipped over and climbed on top of him again.Meanwhile, inside an underground laboratory at the Southern Frontier, a figure in a black robe and wearing a skull mask laughed sinisterly."Well done, Dark Monarch! You haven’t disappointed me!" he sneered. "But these were only failed products of my experiments. Next time, I’ll bring you a much bigger surprise!"Then, several doors swung open as he pressed a white button. Dozens of men with delicate features knelt on both sides of the corridor."Welcome, Mr. V!" they sh

    "Mr. Zacharias, Mr. Xavier is here. Please proceed to the conference room, the board meeting is about to start!" Zacharias's flirtatious secretary reminded him."Sure!" Zacharias gave her a playful squeeze on the butt, and strode out confidently. Zeke, equally excited, quickly followed.All the board members of Prospera Corporation were present inside the conference room. Xavier sat at the head of the table as he scanned the room. Wherever his gaze landed, heads lowered in submission.Although Jennifer had been in charge of Prospera Corporation recently, Xavier’s influence over the years wasn’t something that could be easily dismissed.“Dad!” Zacharias and Zeke greeted Xavier when they entered the room.“Address me by my title in the workplace,” Xavier said with a displeased look, shaking his head. “Sit down.”“Since everyone’s here, let’s begin the board meeting. There’s only one item on the agenda—reorganization of the board of directors!”The room erupted in murmurs, especi

    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
