The Whalens' sanction order would destroy the Smiths' reputation in society without a doubt.However, it might not have a great deal of influence on those who were beyond the legal system's reach. With enough money being offered, somebody would definitely be willing to take the risk.Soon, Jason managed to get in touch with a smuggler and boarded a small boat that would help him leave the country through an abandoned port.He let out a long sigh of relief.The anonymous credit card in his pocket gave him access to the Smiths and Aerowind Enterprise's working capital. In total, it added up to 20 billion.This amount of money was enough for him to live freely overseas for the rest of his life. In fact, given the opportunity, he could recreate his glory and do even better in life.Just as the boat was about to leave the port, there was suddenly an explosion on the calm surface of the water. Huge waves sploshed around. "That's a fucking torpedo!" the smuggler cursed aloud on the sh
"That's right. It was 57.6 billion!" Jason exclaimed hoarsely. Once he admitted to this, it meant all the wealth the Smiths had accumulated over several generations would all be gone.Jason would become a true pauper.If he let Frederick leave, Frederick might let him live because he was Jasmine's father. However, he would definitely spend the rest of his life in prison.Thus, Jason had no other choice."Return all the funds to Aerowind Enterprise by today. After that, transfer all the Smiths' assets to Jasmine. You can leave once you're done."Frederick nodded, and left without looking back."How did you defeat the Whalens? They are the Whalens from the Imperial Capital!" Jason shouted. He still refused to believe it.The two law enforces were shocked to hear this. They turned to look at Frederick.What did they just hear? Did Frederick defeat the Whalens from the Imperial Capital? Was this a joke?Frederick stopped walking, and turned around. Just as he was about to speak,
During the meeting, the elders decided to abandon the Whalens to put the matter to rest.However, in essence, it was still a struggle for power.Third Elder and his allies had long set their sights on the Whalens. They planned to besiege the Whalens, so their own people could inherit everything the Whalens left behind.However, Frederick didn’t choose to destroy the Whalens despite being capable of doing so. Instead, he and the Whalens struck a series of deals.The most important part was that Frederick's men would take over the Whalens' oilfield and electric transmission channel in the Northern Frontier. Moreover, they would own fifty-one percent of the shares of the Whalens’ two lifelines.As such, the Whalens would still remain standing. They continued to hold an important position in Drakonia and the Drakonia Royal Court. However, from that day on, they would have to do Frederick's bidding."You don't have to praise me. The Whalens paid the price for offending me. It had noth
"Fine."After pondering for a moment, Frederick agreed.He knew the Drakonia Royal Court wouldn’t agree to his demand. He was merely trying to bargain on the spot."I'll give you an answer by the end of today."Third Elder left after finishing his sentence.That afternoon, Frederick received a call from Levi."Mr. Lester, were you behind this?" Levi sounded pleasantly surprised on the phone."If you're talking about your promotion, yes. I helped you with that," Frederick said nonchalantly, as if it was an insignificant matter."Mr. Lester, I won't forget your kindness. I'm forever grateful!"Levi took a deep breath, and thanked Frederick from the bottom of his heart."Did you get half of the Tiger Seal for the Northern Frontier?" Frederick asked, chuckling."Yes!" Levi sounded elated."Although half of the Tiger Seal won't give you complete control over the Northern Frontier military, you are still the leader of the military and government. There's a lot you can do with thi
"Quick! Let's depart now!" Levi said hurriedly to his secretary as soon as he found out Frederick had boarded the flight.Frederick sat in the business class on the plane. He was resting, his eyes closed.He had a long day, and a tiring night.Jennifer was unusually crazy in bed. She only left his room after the sun had come up in the morning.This was when the man in the seat in front of Frederick rang the service bell. Soon, a beautiful flight attendant walked over.She knelt next to the man, and looked up at him. Her fair neck was exposed."Sir, how can I assist you?" she asked with a smile."Give me your phone number. I've been observing you for a while now. There's a lot I like about you."The man's gaze roamed her body unscrupulously. He even imagined doing unspeakable things as he glanced at her legs."Sir, I'm sorry. According to the regulations, we're not allowed to provide our personal contact information to passengers."The flight attendant felt uncomfortable under
After reading the note, Frederick smiled at the flight attendant. He then crumpled the note.When they were close to landing, the flight attendant approached Frederick again. "Come with me, quickly!""Thanks for the offer, but that won't be necessary. I'd like to see what he can do to me."Frederick shook his head. He wasn’t trying to keep his voice down at all."Hehe. You'll find out very soon."The man in front of him turned around, and smiled hideously."Sir, you won't make it if you don't leave now!" the flight attendant urged."Leave? Where to? I advise you to stay out of this. Otherwise, I'll get your supervisor to fire you right away!" the man threatened, glaring at her."Don't worry about me. Get back to work," Frederick said calmly.The flight attendant wanted to speak, but she finally sighed and left.Soon, the plane landed.After Frederick got off the plane, the man followed close by. He seemed to worry Frederick might slip away.A group of burly men quickly appr
"You're still acting tough even at death's door, huh?" Alan shouted angrily. "Get him!"At his command, the thugs charged at Frederick like a pack of wolves. Celia screamed and covered her eyes, too frightened to watch. The thugs were all burly and intimidating, and she couldn't imagine how Frederick could possibly stand a chance against them.However, the next moment, Celia realized something strange. Everything had gone silent, as if the world had been muted. Her mouth was agape as she slowly uncovered her eyes.Alan's thugs were all sprawled on the ground—their condition unknown. Frederick hadn't even moved an inch, as his hands were still clasped behind his back.Alan gulped in fear, and shouted, "So what if you're good at fighting? It's all about connections these days! Don’t run if you've got the guts! I'm calling my Dad to come over now! I've never been afraid of anyone in the Northern Frontier!"Alan whipped out his phone, and dialed his father’s number. "Dad, wher
Levi frowned, and strode over to Frederick. Harry smiled smugly, thinking Frederick was about to get what he deserved for messing with Alan. Meanwhile, Alan’s face was full of malicious satisfaction, silently praising himself for being so clever. With just a few words, he had managed to turn Chief Zephyr against Frederick. Seeing Levi's angry approach, Alan expected him to slap Frederick right then and there.But what happened next shocked everyone."Mr. Lester, my apologies for being late!" Levi stopped in front of Frederick, and greeted him respectfully.He had left for the airport early to pick Frederick up, but had been delayed by numerous Northern Frontier businessmen and officials trying to cozy up to him."The Northern Frontier needs some cleaning up," Frederick said calmly as he began walking out, not even sparing a glance at Harry and Alan."Yes!" Levi responded firmly and followed Frederick out. As they walked past Harry, Levi pointed at him and Alan.The fathe
