By the time Frederick found Rocky, the latter had already lost consciousness."You'd be dead if I came any later," Frederick said while shaking his head after he had examined Rocky's condition.Rocky broke over a dozen bones. The bullets that pierced through his back were compressing his spinal nerves. Even if he was sent to a hospital, no doctor in Aston State would dare to help him.Fortunately, he was under Frederick's care. Otherwise, his corpse would have been sent to the crematorium by now.Frederick slapped Rocky's back.Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.After a series of muffled noises, several blood-covered bullets popped out from Rocky's flesh. Frederick then used his inner aura to repair Rocky's broken bones. Finally, he gave Rocky a pill.Soon, Rocky's pale face became rosy. He opened his eyes."Mr. Lester!" Rocky exclaimed in surprise."Get up. Isn't it cold on the ground?" Frederick said calmly."I'm too heavily injured to get up—" Rocky froze halfway through his sentence. He
"Our company's livestreamers are being harassed by hooligans on their way to work. They can’t make it to the office," Jasmine said hastily.Frederick froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. He didn’t expect those people to move so fast.Were they going to use such lowly tactics?"Don't worry. I'll handle it."Frederick retrieved his phone. He froze for a moment, and knocked his head.In the past, all he had to do was make a phone call, and Rocky would take care of insignificant matters like this for him. But now, the entire underground scene of Mirage City had changed. He could only deal with such matters on his own."Damn it. Do those people intend for me to die of exhaustion?" Frederick cursed while he got out of bed and put on his clothes.After rescuing Rocky and returning last night, he saw Jasmine and couldn’t resist having sex with her again."Rent a bus for me. I'll pick them up."Jasmine soon hired a bus. Frederick took the keys, got on the bus, and drove of
The woman had just said that beautiful women wouldn’t want to get on Frederick's run-down bus. She didn’t expect to eat her words so soon.In fact, Nella was stunningly beautiful. The woman thought she was somewhat good-looking herself, but she felt ashamed when comparing herself to Nella.Not only did Nella get on the bus, but she even kissed Frederick."That explains why you risked your life to save her. You were after her good looks. I thought you were actually being a hero. Look, pretty lady, I'm telling you that he has ill intentions. He might have hired these hooligans to put on a show!" the woman exclaimed sourly.Nella gave Frederick a puzzled look. She thought Frederick knew this woman, since the woman was on the bus."Don't mind her. She's just a crazy bitch," Frederick said with disdain.He wouldn’t be interested even if she offered herself in bed.He proceeded to rescue the other ladies one at a time. Eventually, the woman became numb. In less than an hour, the bus w
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became relaxed.“Now, the first issue we need to solve is the security of the company's livestreamers. If this goes on, we can forget about everything else. The company's livestreaming business won't even be able to operate normally."Jasmine frowned. She seemed a little troubled.Those hooligans were only verbally harassing them and refusing to let them leave. There were no actual physical acts of aggression. Even if they filed a report to the police, it was likely nothing would be done.They couldn’t possibly let Frederick transport them to and from work every day, could they?"I have a solution for this." Frederick smiled.Jasmine looked at him in surprise. "What is it?""Isn't the apartment building next to our office a project developed by Prospersa Corporation? We'll just ask them for it," Frederick said in a casual tone. He made it sound like he was asking for a bun rather than a building.Jasmine shook her head helplessly.
"You said it yourself!" Frederick responded hastily, his eyes bright. "So what if I did? Just give up. It won't happen! There'd be a lot of resistance from the board of directors even if I sold it to you for 3.7 billion." Jennifer felt a little speechless."Don't worry about that. Convene a meeting with the board of directors tomorrow. I'll convince them!" Frederick smiled mysteriously."If you think you can force them to agree with your unreasonable demands based on your reputation from the last board meeting, think again. The group welcomed new directors a few days ago. One of them is the firstborn of a big family. He won't be afraid of you," Jennifer warned. She feared Frederick might stir up trouble at the board meeting.Frederick was a little surprised. "A big family? How big?" "The people of Drakonia depend on his family's businesses for clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Do you get how big it is now?" Jennifer asked.Frederick raised his eyebrows. "Why would su
“You only know how to match the medicinal properties, but you don't know that the different proportions of each medicinal herb can affect the outcome of the medicine. In that case, you're only an arrogant person who thinks he's better than everyone else." Frederick sneered, shaking his head. He picked up the prescription, and stood up to leave.“Stop right there!” the elder shouted angrily. His face had turned red.“Is there anything else I can help you with?” Frederick asked indifferently, looking at him."Who are you to judge me like that? Why wouldn't I understand such simple logic? On the other hand, how would a brat like you even understand something that an experienced man like me finds simple? I'm not worried about people who are uneducated, but I'm worried about people like you who have only scratched the surface of certain knowledge and go around acting like you know it all! Traditional medicine can save lives, but it can also get people killed. You have to take it seriou
"What's hard about that?" Frederick chuckled."Are you kidding? The refining process is so difficult that even I can't guarantee I could make it work!" The elder brought out a pill-making furnace, and placed it on the table."Come on. I'd like to see if you're truly talented or just an ignorant fool!""A pill-making furnace? I never use one of these things when I refine pills!"Frederick glanced at the pill-making furnace disdainfully.The next moment, he slapped his palm on the table. The table didn’t move at all, but the medicinal herbs in the basket all flew up into the air!“T-This is Floral Dispersion! Throughout Drakonia, there are less than five people who know this pill-making technique!” the elder exclaimed in disbelief, stunned. “That's not all.”Frederick smiled slightly, and waved his hand around. The medicinal herbs scattered in the air before coalescing into a ball.“Sand Tower Formation! Another ancient pill-making technique!"The elder's jaw dropped.The m
The elder's facial expression stiffened. After a long time, he chuckled bitterly and shook his head."After meeting you today, I realize how far behind I am in my medicinal pursuit."In reality, the elder's level of medicinal pursuit wasn’t low at all. In fact, he was one of the best in the traditional medicine community of today.Very few people even knew that the receptionist of this small pharmacy was actually the last president of Drakonia's Traditional Medicine Association. The elder had witnessed too much nastiness in the business. Disheartened, he chose to retire."I still don't know what this pill is used for. Could you tell me?" he asked. The elder was ashamed to admit that he couldn't figure out the pill's usage, despite how Frederick had shown him the pill-making process.Frederick didn’t intend to keep any secrets. "After taking the pill, one's physical capabilities will double within two hours."The elder was stunned when he heard this.Doubling one's physical cap
