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
