Frederick simply spread his hand and replied casually, "It's as straightforward as it seems—what you saw is all there is!"

Jennifer pressed further. "Don't try to sweet talk me! I want to know how you found out about the plan the big shot from the Northern Frontier had to invest in Prospera Corporation.

“You challenged the chairman on my behalf, so I won't pursue the matter of you taking credit for others. Just tell me, who is this big shot that came to our aid?"

Frederick realized they had mistaken Hades for someone else, but he saw no harm in playing along with it.

"I was on my way to the office when I stumbled upon a convoy of these tycoons discussing following orders from some higher-ups to invest three billion in Prospera Corporation," he explained.

Jennifer took his words for the truth. She probed further, "Did you catch a name?"

Frederick shook his head, replying, "No, I didn't manage to get that information."

Seriously? There was no way he would disclose his own

    Alec recounted all the details, saying, "Mr. Z is pretty secretive about his dealings. He hardly ever mentioned anything about Organization V to me. But there was this one time when he slipped up and mentioned that Organization V was planning something major. If he pulled it off, it was something that could shake up all of Drakonia!" Frederick's eyes blazed with intensity as he proclaimed, "Anyone who dares to target Drakonia without my say-so is essentially declaring war on me! You're really pushing it, Organization V! I swear, I'll wipe you off the map!" Although he was retired and living alone, Frederick's fire had merely been contained, not extinguished. Seiryu declared solemnly, "Just say the word, and a million soldiers from the Northern Frontier will be ready to strike!" Frederick shook his head and explained, "The enemies we face now are not like those of the past. It's easy to battle a visible foe, but challenging to combat those who lurk in the shadows. “These rats

    "Then let's not delay any further; lead the way," Frederick said urgently, his anxiety evident. Shortly after, he and Gavin arrived at the renowned Atlantis Club in the city center. The club was a fusion of global cultures, adorned with artistic decor, and frequented by a stylish crowd. An entourage of dozens accompanied Gavin, and he announced his name at the entrance. A server quickly guided them to the largest VIP room, which was filled with muscular men with guns at their waists and their bodies decorated with tattoos. Inside, they found Charlie, and next to him was Sylvia, tightly bound and visibly beaten. Her mouth was bleeding from several slaps. Upon seeing her son, Sylvia gasped in horror. "Fred, I told you not to come! Why won't you listen?" "Haha, you brought backup, have you?” Charlie sneered. “You clearly don’t care about your mother's life anymore." He flaunted his control, picked up a fruit knife, and waved it threateningly near Sylvia's face. Frederick cle

    Willa found herself in a desperate situation. As an Aflon Grandmaster, she had never expected to be drugged. Now, completely drained of her inner aura, she couldn't summon any strength. "I'm Willa Zephyr, the captain of the Mirage City law enforcement team,” she declared, her eyes wide. “I suspected illegal activities here at the Atlantis Club, so I came undercover to investigate! You better release me now, or the entire enforcement squad will be here soon to level this place!" The crowd roared with laughter in response to her declaration. It was so intense that it caused them to double over. "Wow! A law enforcement captain, huh? You think you're something special?" "Do you even know who runs the Atlantis Club?" You're just a small-time captain. Even your boss, the Mirage police chief, wouldn't dare touch us!" Victor took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Since she’s a captain, we can't finish her—that'd break the rules. But just letting her walk would be a slap in our fac

    "Frederick, you..." Willa was stunned, not expecting such a bold move from him.Frederick made a shushing gesture and said, "Don't get the wrong idea. I just don't like sharing my things with others."Willa caught on to the implication. She gritted her teeth in frustration and said, "Figures! Men are all the same—just dogs biting each other!"Frederick gave a knowing smile.The real reason behind his actions was his eagerness to turn against these people; he just needed a good reason to start the fight. And Willa's situation presented the perfect opportunity to do just that. Now, he could rescue her and simultaneously turn the tables on these goons.Victor was usually composed, but he too was enraged. He snapped, "Ungrateful bastard! This motherfucker doesn't know how to appreciate the kindness of others!" He smashed his wine glass on the floor and roared, "Cut out his tongue! Let him bark like the dog he is!"Gavin's expression changed as he quickly stepped in and blocked the

    "If I find out he went there to flirt with girls, humph—" Jennifer's face contorted with annoyance, her hand tightening into a fist. "He's dead!" Jasmine barely suppressed a chuckle and teased, "Hold on. Isn't that guy just your decoy? Why do you care if he's hitting on someone at the bar? What's it got to do with you?" Jennifer was momentarily surprised and perplexed by her own response. Since when did she care if he was mingling with other women? Why should it matter to her if he flirted with someone else? Trying to mask her discomfort, she quickly said, "I just don't want him to embarrass me, that's all! Let's go." They hurried toward the Atlantis Club.- The atmosphere inside the club had turned violent. Frederick had crushed Victor's leg with a single grip, causing him to stumble and fall, screaming in pain. "I'm going to kill you!" Victor roared. His eyes were bloodshot as he staggered to his feet and launched a powerful punch at Frederick. The attack sliced thro

    Flustered, Charlie shielded his face and stammered, "Tsarina, I... I was just trying to help you!" "To hell with your help!" Aleena snapped. She raised her leg and delivered a sharp kick right between Charlie's legs, sending him collapsing against the wall in agony. She turned an affectionate gaze on Frederick as she approached and seized him by the collar. She cooed, "Why did you come to me so late? I've missed you terribly!" Frederick frowned. "Don't flatter yourself. I didn't come here for you." "Geez! You're still as blunt as ever!" Aleena pouted, playfully pounding her fists against his chest. The scene left everyone astonished. Were Tsarina and Frederick flirting? What was happening? Did they know each other? Charlie was the most shocked of all, his face ashen as he stood frozen in place, his mind screaming that it wasn’t possible, it couldn’t be happening. Wanting some privacy, Aleena led Frederick by the hand to her room. Inside, she perched on his lap, and

    "What are you thinking?" Frederick asked with a slight frown. He pinned Willa down on the bar counter and injected a needle into a buttock. Instantly, Willa shivered as she felt her energy returning rapidly. "Is the poison out of my system?" Willa exclaimed in amazement, realizing she could move normally again. "Are you treating me?" "What else would I be doing? Did you really think I was taking you to a hotel?" Frederick replied sarcastically. "But honestly, your hips are quite round and suitable for bearing children—just the type my mother would like." Furious, Willa tried to kick him. "Asshole!" Frederick caught her leg quickly and joked, "Captain Zephyr, you're trying to hit me after I just saved you? That's heartless!"Outside, Jennifer arrived at the club in her Bentley Arnage 728. She walked in just in time to witness the intense exchange between Frederick and Willa. Her rage burst forth like a volcano. "Frederick! You rush here right after work to fool around?

    In a sudden display of brute strength, Charlie flipped the car over eight meters with just his hands. Despite the ghastly sight of his torn skin and flesh, wounds covering his body, his strength was immensely powerful. Jasmine stared, horrified. "Who are you? We can give you money; just don't hurt us." Charlie burst into mocking laughter. "Wahaha! Money? I don't need money! You're Frederick's woman, right? I want you dead!" He charged at them in a frenzy. Several bar bouncers rushed over, drawn by the commotion. "Darn it! We almost had Charlie taken down! How did he suddenly rebound?" "Stop asking questions! Just drag him back to finish him off! We can't let the Tsarina find out and blame us!" One barked. They drew their weapons and lunged at Charlie. Surprisingly, Charlie seemed numb to pain. With a fierce roar, he ripped them apart with his hands, splitting eight men into half in an instant. The brutality stunned Jennifer and Jasmine. They started to question wh

    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
