“Aren't you the overworld king of Aston? Can't you solve this with a single phone call?”Jasmine was slightly puzzled. Why was it so hard for Aerowind Enterprise to work on a project?“Let me understand the situation first.”Frederick retrieved his phone, and called the head of the State Department of Commerce who visited him last night."That's pretty much the situation."Frederick described the matter succinctly."Mr. Lester, hold on a minute. I'll have someone check this. They're only a couple of materials distributors. They can’t possibly cause an uproar."The head of the department didn’t hang up. He picked up the landline on his desk, and made a call.Frederick listened to what he said and his tone. He sounded resolute and imposing."Mr. Lester, things are not quite what I expected."After a while, Frederick heard his voice again."I asked someone to check on this. Apparently, all the chambers of commerce in Aston received an order from the Imperial Capital to not sell
"So noisy!" Frederick snorted before lashing out.In the blink of an eye, dozens of security guards fell to the ground. Nobody was standing in his way."Mr. Lester, why so grumpy?"This was when Frederick heard someone chuckling as they spoke. Danny Campbell, wearing a pair of leather shoes, walked towards him.Frederick turned to look at Danny with narrowed eyes. "Are you the owner of Glory Building Materials?" Danny smiled, and nodded. "I am indeed." "Very well. Let's see if the building materials we ordered really did catch fire. If there wasn't a fire, don't blame me for being unforgiving," Frederick said coldly."Mr. Lester, why the need to see something if you know it to be true? Besides, seeing it won't do you or me any good." Danny exhaled a mouthful of smoke. It looked like he was trying to offer some serious advice."What if I insist?" Frederick asked.Danny stopped smiling, and responded with a threat. "Then all I can say is that you'll regret it." "I'd like to
Rocky was so excited, his entire body was shaking.He used to be an unrivaled boss, but he ended up having to run for his life in one night. Who knew how much he had to endure over the past two days?Now, he wanted to take back everything he lost.In fact, he wanted even more!Mr. Lester had asked him to not only take down Mirage City, but the entire Aston State.Danny's legs were trembling in fear. After collapsing in a pool of blood, he was tied up and tossed into a car.Frederick personally drove away, with Danny in the car.With people from the Northern Frontier around, he didn’t need to worry about the rest.Frederick stopped the car in the middle of nowhere. He opened the door, and threw Danny out of it. "Was it the Whalens?" "No—yes!"Danny wanted to deny it, but he hastily told the truth after Frederick glared at him."Mr. Lester, I didn't have a choice. Who would dare to not do as the Whalens said?"Frederick nodded. He had a feeling this was the case.Frederick
Danny didn’t know what the pill Frederick fed him was.He stumbled his way to Kaizer's villa, and rang the doorbell. A few moments later, the heavy door opened, revealing the gilded living room within.“Danny? What are you doing here?”Kaizer frowned a little when he saw Danny. Danny was a nobody to him, and he had merely used the latter like a pawn.“Mr. Steinfield, Frederick wanted me to pass on a message. He said—"Before Danny could finish his sentence, Kaizer wanted to cut him off. The next moment, however, there was an explosion.Bang!Danny's body exploded into pieces.Kaizer's body was stained in red, and pieces of flesh hung from his body. His complexion turned pale, and he had a murderous look in his eyes."Frederick, this means war!"Kaizer clenched his jaws.At the same time, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.Danny had exploded just after he spoke.This meant Frederick had not only found out Kaizer's identity, but also where Kaizer lived. In fact, he even t
Jasmine's father was furious. "I'll say it again. Get your ass home with me right now! Otherwise, don't ever come back!"Was Jasmine still oblivious about what would happen if she offended the Whalens from the Imperial Capital? Not only her, but the entire family would be affected."I told you! I can't leave now!" Jasmine yelled back, hanging up.Later, she rubbed her tearful eyes and continued to go through the piles of documents on her desk. After some time, there was suddenly a commotion outside the office."Sir, you can't go in…""Get out of my way!"The office door was pushed open by the man, who sounded demanding.Jasmine was surprised to see who it was.“Dad! Why are you here?”She stood up.“If I don't come, the entire family will be ruined in your hands!” her father snorted coldly.“Dad, even if we're going against the Whalens from the Imperial Capital, I don't think we're completely powerless to fight back,” Jasmine uttered through clenched jaws.Although she stil
"Who do you think you are? Sanction order? What a joke!"Jasmine's father burst into laughter.There was a sanction order issued in Aerowind Enterprise's name on their official website. The content of the sanction order was similar to the one released by Nathan.However, the Whalens were different. They controlled people's livelihoods through their businesses across various sectors. As a result, they were qualified to issue the sanction order.What about Aerowind Enterprise and Frederick? Who even knew about them outside of Aston State? Not everyone in Aston State even knew about them. Who were they to issue a sanction order against the Whalens?It was practically a joke."Do you find it funny?" Frederick looked at Jasmine's father with a puzzled expression, then smiled."Isn't it?" Jasmine's father finally stopped laughing, and looked at his daughter. "This is the arrogant lunatic you're working for! Believe it or not, you lot have now become the laughingstock of the world!"
Nathan seemed unaffected after he regained his composure.Although he was not sure what kind of relationship Frederick had with the Northern Frontier military, it was not enough to force him to compromise.They were not strong enough.After hanging up the phone, Nathan contemplated for a moment and dialed a number."Run a background check on Frederick Lester. He has a company in Mirage called Aerowind Enterprise."It hadn’t occurred to Nathan until now to investigate Frederick's identity.“Mr. Whalen!”Suddenly, Nathan's secretary barged into his study."Who let you in? Get out!" Nathan yelled. The study was forbidden to outsiders. He had given an order that no one was allowed to set foot in his study without his permission. Had his words fallen on deaf ears?“Mr. Whalen, I have something important to report!” his secretary exclaimed hurriedly.“An important matter? What kind of important matter merits you to break into my study? Tell me! If it doesn't satisfy me, I'll muti
Outside Jasmine's office at Aerowind Enterprise, Jasmine's father wiped the tears of laughter from the corner of his eyes. The whole thing was incredibly ridiculous to him.He turned to look at Jasmine. "Do you still refuse to come with me?"He believed she should have seen Frederick for what he really was—a madman and a bragging lunatic."I told you, I'm not leaving!"To his surprise, Jasmine shook her head; she seemed fully determined. Her father was in disbelief."Did he cast a spell on you? Why are you so loyal to him?" he barked, furious.Jasmine bit her lip. "I believe in him!" "Do you believe in him? Well, the sanction order has been out for a while now. Has there been any semblance of movement?" he demanded angrily."Take it easy. A bullet takes time to travel," Frederick said casually."It's taking too long. The bullet would have already reached the northwest hemisphere," Jasmine's father retorted."That's right. Based on my calculations, the bullet should have arri
