The Whalen Brigade was what ensured the Whalens could never fall. It was a privilege earned by the Whalens' forefathers, who had served Drakonia with great honor.It was also the only private army in Drakonia that was recognized and supported by the Drakonia Royal Court.Through decades of development, the Whalen Brigade boasted the most advanced weapons, the most elite soldiers, and the most powerful cultivators. With a mixture of these three elements, the Whalen Brigade was practically invincible.Nathan had given the order.Dozens of fighters took off from the Whalens' special operational base, and headed directly for the Northern Frontier.Once they entered the Northern Frontier, they split into two teams. One team flew towards the oilfield, and the other towards the electric transmission channel.The personnel who sealed off these two places weren’t able to react in time.Many stealth fighters suddenly appeared in the sky. Countless missiles were fired."Quick! Run!""Sea
By the time the Whalen Brigade's first and second teams were able to get a good look at the two fighters with burning Phoenix logos, the hatches had already been opened."Phoenix Squad, assemble!" shouted Phoenix, who was under Frederick's command. She jumped off the fighter from ten thousand feet in the air.Three team members followed behind her.Four more members of the Phoenix Squad jumped off from the other fighter. At the same time, they drew their swords and started swinging them around.A long stream of blade energy was fired.“Quick! Dodge!”The second team's fighter dodged hastily.Members of the Phoenix Squad were descending at a rapid pace, but they continued to swing their swords.Explosions occurred every now and then in the air.The Whalen Brigade's fighters were hit, and exploded.Figures charged into the sky. The cultivators, who had previously landed to take control of the oilfield and electric transmission channel, could no longer stand idly by. They starte
"Who are you people?" Phoenix asked as she glared at them."Allow us to introduce ourselves. We're from the Whalen Brigade. I'm First Warlord.""Third Warlord!""Fifth Warlord!""Seventh Warlord!"The four of them spoke in turn.The other four of the eight War Kings were naturally on the other side of the battlefield."It seems you are the Whalen Brigade's trump card," Phoenix said coldly. "Once we kill you, the Whalens won't be too far away from complete annihilation, will it?" "Yes. You can try."First Warlord gestured for Phoenix to come at him. There was a contemptuous smile on his face."Kill them!" Phoenix started attacking. The three team members behind her moved at the same time."Don't let any of them get away," First Warlord instructed.The battle kicked off instantly.However, the Phoenix Squad, which had always seemed to be invincible, suddenly found themselves in a sticky situation when going against the Whalen Brigade's four Warlords.The Warlords seemed
Frederick retrieved a map. After searching for a while, he managed to locate Lupus Island as Nathan had mentioned.Lupus Island was an isolated island in the open sea. There was nothing but the ocean within a thousand miles."He certainly found a good spot."Frederick smiled coldly while he looked at the map."I wonder if this isolated island will be where I'm buried or where the Whalens will be buried!"Frederick stood up, and walked quickly out of Aerowind Enterprise."Where are you going?" Jennifer asked when he saw that Frederick seemed to be in a hurry."To put an end to the Whalens once and for all!"Frederick walked out without even turning around."Jasmine, where is Frederick going? I bumped into him earlier. He said he was going to put an end to the Whalens!" Jennifer said.She quickly looked for Jasmine, worried.Jasmine was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "Put an end to the Whalens? Does he plan to kill his way to the Whalens' headquarters?""No way! That's t
“Will Jasmine agree to that?” asked the man next to Jasmine's father."Do this…"Jasmine's father waved at him, and whispered in his ear.Meanwhile, there was silence on Lupus Island. Eight people were tied up on several large trees—they were members of the Phoenix Squad.The Whalen Brigade's Eight Warlords were smoking and chatting not far away."What was his name again?""Frederick Lester.""Right! Frederick. Do you think he has the guts to show up?""If he doesn't, we'll kill these people and kill our way to Mirage.""Mirage? The Drakonia Royal Court might have a problem with that.""If it had been anyone else, we couldn't possibly be so blatant. However, as far as I know, the Drakonia Royal Court had always been at odds with the Dark Monarch. Frederick has a close relationship with the Dark Monarch. The Drakonia Royal Court is probably eager for us to kill him.""If he's close to the Dark Monarch, won't we get into trouble with the Dark Monarch by killing him?""What's
The Eight Warlords from the Whalen Brigade all froze.Hades, the Dark Monarch?Was this half-human, half-dragon the reputable Hades, the Dark Monarch? Didn’t he just say he was the person they were looking for?Could it be…?Their bodies trembled at the thought of such a possibility.How was that possible? Why would the king of the Northern Frontier reside in a small city and own an insignificant company?Frederick sighed helplessly. "Didn't I tell you not to address me as Hades when outsiders are around?" "It doesn't matter. They're dead anyway," Phoenix said as she looked up, smiling.Frederick nodded. “That's true.”First Warlord became furious when he heard that."I don't care who you are! Even if you're Hades, you're no match for us!" he yelled darkly."Hmm? Is that so?" Frederick chuckled.He then took a step forward.All it took was one step for them to feel a majestic pressure.Boom!The ground collapsed.The Eight Warlords’ expression changed drastically. The
There was a deafening roar of engine in the air.Phoenix looked up, and her expression changed drastically.“It's a Horizon 17!” she said through clenched jaws.Horizon 17 was Drakonia's most advanced bomber. There were only five of these in the entire Drakonia. At this moment, three of these were right above their heads."Hahahaha! The missiles on these three Horizon 17s are capable of erasing this island from the ocean! In fact, it can even vaporize all the seawater within a few miles! No matter how strong you are, you're still mortal. Let's die together!"While First Warlord was shouting, the three Horizon 17s had already unloaded the missiles. The missiles were falling at breakneck speed."Lord Hades, leave! Don't worry about us!""With your speed, you might still have a chance of surviving if you flee right now!"The launched missiles were moving faster than the speed of sound. On top of that, it had a terrifying area of effect.Even if Frederick utilized his full speed t
It was a miraculous scene that left the Eight Warlords dumbfounded.Was he even human?Frederick sneered before extending his palms to the three Horizon 17s in the sky above.His inner aura manifested a large hand in the air that blocked out the sun. The three aircraft emitted a deafening roar as the pilots tried to flee as quickly as possible.However, the large hand was even faster. It was so fast, wind howled on Lupus Island.The large hand formed by inner aura struck the three aircraft. However, they weren’t destroyed. The inner aura only destroyed their electromagnetic control systems.Although the exterior seemed fully intact, the pilots were no longer able to control them and could only allow them to fall.The three pilots closed their eyes in despair, clutching their suicide notes tightly.Just as the aircraft were about to be destroyed, Frederick blew at them. A gentle wind held them, allowing them to land safely on the ground. Every motion with his palm and breath of
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
