The man gulped at the sight of the boxes of gold. He had a greedy look in his eyes."Who exactly are you?"He felt a deep respect for Frederick.After all, Frederick was able to get boxes of gold, which added up to three billion dollars in value, transported here with a single phone call. He had to be someone extraordinary."Do I need to tell you who I am?" Frederick asked coldly."Not at all! Give me the gold worth three billion dollars, and I'll immediately disappear from your sight. I won't ever show up again!" The man grinned, nodding eagerly."Since I had someone send it over, I naturally will give it to you. However, you have to answer me how she ended up owing you money first," Frederick said."Her brother got addicted to gambling and lost 20 million dollars. He was arrested by the casino. They wanted to cut off his arms! In order to pay off her brother's debt, she approached us herself," the man quickly said."Has she borrowed from you before?" Frederick asked.The man
There were corpses all over the floor in the air-raid shelter. Most of these corpses had on the uniforms of the casino. Only a few of them didn’t. Those who weren’t wearing uniforms were probably on the management level of the casino.Frederick scanned the casino, and found several bags of cash left casually on the ground. It seemed those who came were here only for murder.Seeing the bags of cash made Frederick even more certain they were coming after him.He returned home without finding anything useful.The day of the party was over.It had been seven days since Millie joined Aerowind Enterprise. According to the contract, it was also time to decide on the new livestreaming department manager.Over the past seven days, Millie's viewership and total turnover had surpassed Nella's. Hence, Millie successfully became the new livestreaming department manager.Nella willingly gave up her position as manager since she had lost.Frederick was relieved to see there was no conflict.
Over the next few days, Nella was subjected to a lot of side-eyes in the office.Several unpleasant incidents also occurred during her livestreams.The number of people who watched livestreams at midnight was already rather small. Although she had a lot of loyal fans, her performance still dropped significantly.To make matters worse, there were many accidents. For example, there would either be a sudden internet disruption or congestion of the servers.Nella also observed how Millie and the backend staff in the Technology Department were getting along very well in the past few days. Perhaps, they were the ones who backstabbed her to curry favor with Millie.However, she had no evidence to prove it. On top of that, there were already rumors that she tried to sleep with Frederick to gain favors for herself. Thus, she was unwilling to trouble Frederick any further.Days like these left Nella on the verge of breaking down."Mr. Lester." Nella knocked on Frederick's office door. S
"Frederick!" Millie's facial expression changed. She looked at him in surprise. Why did Frederick show up here right now?"You must be surprised. To be honest, I've known about your ill intentions for a long time. I've been watching you and waiting for you to show some signs," Frederick said with a smile.Mille sneered upon hearing this. "So what if you found out? Do you think you can stop me?""Don't you know that I've killed all seven of those people Organization V sent? Do you think you're better than them?" Frederick asked in a relaxed manner.Millie laughed loudly. Disdain was written all over her face."They were nothing more than failed experiments from Organization V. It's humiliating that you even compare them to me. Just because you killed them doesn't make you strong. They were just too weak!"If I didn't need to use your livestreaming platform, I would've killed you a long time ago!"I'd like to thank you for investing so much in your livestreaming platform's ser
Seeing how Millie was completely unharmed, Frederick felt a little troubled. Dealing with inhuman lunatics from Organization V was giving him a headache.He shook his head.In the next moment, he gave off a significantly stronger aura. Red dragon scales appeared on his body.Millie immediately stopped laughing the moment she felt the terrifying aura. Her eyes went wide as she looked at Frederick fearfully."Go on. Why did you stop laughing? Isn't that in your nature?" Frederick sneered.Millie's facial expression changed, and she turned around to run. She had never felt such a strong aura such as Frederick's at this moment. She was no match for him!Zoom!Frederick blocked her path, and looked at her playfully."I like it better when you're being unruly. Please go back to that," he said.Millie clenched her jaws, and turned to a different direction.Boom!Frederick appeared in front of her yet again. This time, he didn’t hold back just because she was a woman. He kicked her
"How did you find out?" Millie turned around. She saw Frederick smiling, and subconsciously gulped."I've fought against people from Organization V on several occasions. I don't have many strengths, but my sense of smell is excellent. As long as one of your cyborgs appears in front of me, I'll immediately notice their foul scent." Frederick's smile grew wider.He grabbed Millie, and flew into the sky. He only stopped once they were next to the clouds.Millie pretended to be calm. "Well… Why didn't you kill me from the beginning?" "If I did, I wouldn't have found a way to get into contact with your superiors, would I? However, it's time to reap what I've sown," Frederick sneered."W-What about those people? They were under the control of my mystic power!" Millie snarled through clenched jaws."Thanks to you, I've been busy every day for the past few days. I've gone from city to city to cast Great Purification. As for the people on the channel tonight, they're all internet tro
After leaving the office, Frederick went to a deserted corner and retrieved Millie's phone. He typed a strange series of numbers.He played along with Millie's scheme just so he could track down her way of contacting Organization V.His efforts were rewarded. By tapping her phone, Frederick managed to get this number.Soon, somebody answered his call."Didn't you promise me the mission would succeed last night? What happened?" Gramer yelled angrily."Mr. Gramer, I had hundreds of millions of viewers on my channel last night. I also unleashed Phantasmagoria successfully. I have no idea why those people weren't affected in any way!" Frederick mimicked Millie's voice, making it tremble, as if he was in fear.Gramer was silent for a moment."Don't contact me for a while. Someone will get in touch with you when the time comes," he said softly before hanging up.When Frederick tried to call him again, the number was out of service.Frederick shrugged. He wondered if Gramer had seen
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll get some groceries right now. We have to be good hosts!" Sylvia said frantically."Mom, don't get worked up. We've already made plans to get drunk after we compete," Frederick explained."Compete?" Sylvia asked. "Yeah. They said they wanted to compete with me and see if I've gotten worse since I left the troop." Frederick nodded, his eyes glistening.He would protect his family at all costs. Anyone who tried to hurt them would die! Today, he was prepared for a massacre."In that case, be careful. Fighting is dangerous. Don't get hurt!" Sylvia was a little worried."Don't worry. They'll be fine!" Frederick smiled."Fred!"Selene grabbed Frederick's hand, and pulled him into her room. "Tell me the truth. Have your enemies found us? Why did you tell me to go on leave so suddenly?" she asked.Frederick didn’t expect her to see through his actions."Since you've seen through it, I won't keep you in the dark. Some people want to destroy our h
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
