After making the bet with Jasmine, Frederick went to the livestreaming department.Due to its unique attributes, the livestreaming department was off limits to everyone in the company except for Frederick and Jasmine. Others weren’t allowed to enter without permission.This was a rule he set when he established the livestreaming department. His motive was to prevent messy mishaps from occurring. Quite a number of employees had been fired because of this rule.It was also thanks to this rule that Aerowind Enterprise had a very good reputation in the business community. This was why Millie chose to apply for a job at the company.Frederick pushed the door open, and walked inside.A group of women were putting on makeup inside the room. Many of them were only in their underwear.Women like them, who relied on their looks to make a living, could only let their guard down in Aerowind Enterprise.Frederick couldn’t help but feel excited when he saw this scene. He almost had a noseblee
"What is it?" Nella asked, looking at Frederick in surprise."You'll know when the time comes," Frederick said before leaving.Nella was left dumbfounded. The competition was happening in three days. When would she find out?Three days passed quickly.Nella spent all this time in anxiety. She tried calling Frederick and sent him countless messages, but he never responded.Jasmine observed them closely. She sighed in relief after realizing that Frederick wasn’t abusing his power for personal gains.The only way Frederick could win the bet was to make Nella lower her price and sell at a loss. However, if he did this, he wouldn’t be able to keep it from Jasmine. She was the deputy general manager, after all.To make sure nothing went wrong, Jasmine personally went to the livestreaming department.Millie still didn’t have any makeup on. After dressing like a court lady, she carried an air of royalty. She almost seemed like an angel who could fulfill all the fantasies of men.Jasmi
Frederick was annoyed by what he heard, and gently knocked on Nella's forehead."What's in your head? I told you, it's not what you think! Forget it. Look in the mirror!" he said.Nella quickly ran up to the mirror. She was stunned by her own reflection."Is this… Really me?" She touched her face in disbelief. She looked so much better than she did before! In fact, she was probably on par with Millie's level of beauty."Wouldn't it be a case of paranormal activity if the reflection didn't belong to you?" Frederick chuckled."I discovered your unique physical trait from the very first time we met. You have the rarest form of natural charm that’s one in a million. The only thing is, such a trait won't materialize directly. It needs to be activated in a unique way. I didn't do it for you sooner because I needed to test you. If you showed any signs of ulterior motives or disloyalty, you would never encounter such an opportunity for the remainder of your life," he explained.He witn
Soon, Juliet returned to Jasmine's office."Ms. Smith…" Juliet had something to say, but stopped herself."What is it? Are the internet trolls in place?" Jasmine looked up confusedly at her.Juliet remained silent for a while, before finally shaking her head."What's going on? Why didn't you get them in place as soon as the livestream started? If we do it now, it'll be too obvious!" Jasmine said.She felt a little remorseful. After all, Frederick was the company's general manager. His reputation mattered."It's not what you think! Ms. Garcia's channel was flooded, and all the servers crashed! Our internet trolls couldn't even get in!" Juliet exclaimed."Huh?" Jasmine, stunned, immediately stood up. "What happened? Did somebody hack into her channel's servers?"Jasmine didn’t immediately think it was caused by there being too many visitors on Nella's channel. After all, the company invested a lot of capital into the company's servers. They wouldn’t crash so easily. Even Millie's
Millie and Nella's opening livestream garnered a lot of attention for Aerowind Enterprise. The company was widely discussed in the industry once again.Over the next few days, the duo lived up to the hype by leading the company's business to even greater heights.For the first few livestreams, Nella's viewership easily dwarfed Millie's in comparison. However, the gap continued to narrow each time. By the fourth day, Millie managed to overtake Nella and continued to expand her viewership.The reason for this was that Millie's viewers tended to stick with her. Those who had watched her livestream once never seemed to leave her channel. Nothing could stop her."Don't you find Millie's data a little strange?" Frederick asked Jasmine while he held a copy of the data provided by the Technology Department.Jasmine looked confusedly at him. "What's strange about it?" Frederick was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head."Maybe I'm overthinking it," he said."Millie probably live
"Our company has performance requirements. From tomorrow on, each of you has to invite three friends into my channel. I believe you guys won't let me down. If you can't do it, don't bother coming to see me." Millie turned off the livestream after finishing her sentence.The man in the restroom stared blankly ahead after his phone screen turned dark. After a while, he came back to his senses."Honey! Honey!"He finally remembered his wife was here, and crawled up to her. The toilet floor was already covered in blood. His wife was no longer breathing."Ahh!" he cried in agony.After ending her livestream, Millie went to the Technology Department."Ms. Jackson!" The staff at the Technology Department were all excited to see her."Hi guys, can I look at today's data comparison between Ms. Garcia and me?" she asked with a pleading gaze.The geeks in the Technology Department instantly felt tingles in their bones. "Yes, of course!"They quickly printed out Millie and Nella's lives
The livestreamers, who were usually very chatty, became completely silent. They looked at a girl who had her head hung low.Nella remembered her.Christine was in the same batch of interviewees as her when they applied for jobs at Aerowind Enterprise. Fresh out of college, Christine was full of youthful vigor.The man followed the crowd's gaze, and noticed Christine. He took big strides towards her."Hehe. You seem to be enjoying yourself at this party," the man sneered.Christine was trembling. She didn’t even dare to look up.He narrowed his eyes, and threatened her in a low voice, "Pay your debts as you should! If you don't, we'll leak all your materials!" Christine looked up with tears in her eyes. "No! I'll pay you guys back. Please leave, won't you? If you guys act like this, I'll lose my job. I won't be able to pay you back then!" she pleaded.He glared at her fiercely. "Is that a threat?" Christine was so terrified that she fell to the ground. Tears streamed down h
"300 million dollars is out of the question. I'll give you 25 million dollars. That's final!" Nella said. She didn’t actually have that much money in her bank account. However, she believed that Frederick wouldn’t refuse to lend her this amount in advance.Christine's eyes filled with hope. She looked pleadingly at the man, hoping he would accept Nella's terms and let her go."Don't think you can get away with things just because you're pretty! How can 300 million dollars turn into 25 million dollars? Does your money have a different exchange rate from Drakonia's currency?" the man sneered."Don't act like a big shot if you don't have money. Get out of my way!" he exclaimed, pushing Nella away. He continued to sexually assault Christine.His subordinates, who were behind him, seemed eager to get their hands on her too.The man laughed loudly, unbuckling his belt. "Guys, what are you waiting for? Come on!" Nella's heart raced at the sight of Christine being surrounded by a grou
Heston was still scoffing when he received a call from Giovanni.He was taken aback, and he nervously glanced at Frederick. 'No way…'The moment he picked up the phone, he got a torrent of scolding.Meanwhile, a bloody power struggle was underway in the Imperial Capital.After the Conservatives took down Woody, their ambition surged. 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
