"Go ahead and call the cops! Let's see if they show up.""I recall there's a police station less than a mile away. If they cared, why aren't they here yet?"The oil thieves sounded very arrogant.The security guard panicked when he heard this. When these oil thieves came the last time, he was beaten up badly for trying to stop them. Now that they came again, he did not act rashly, but instead called the cops first.Twenty minutes had passed since he called the cops. He figured that the police ought to be arriving anytime soon, hence why he stepped forward to stop them.The security guard only realized this after they reminded him.They were right—the police station was very close. Logically speaking, the police should have arrived long ago."I don't mind telling you this. We've bribed all the police officers in this area. Even if you call the cops, nobody will care.""Why should you care if the police don't? What is it that you want? This oilfield doesn't belong to your family.
The men who hopped off the trucks didn’t say a word. They cranked their barrels, and pulled their triggers. These were clearly heartless killers who wouldn’t even blink when they killed.The sound of shotguns could be heard. A rain of bullets was fired at Frederick.He sneered. In the next moment, the whole world seemed to stand still.The security guard closed his eyes, thinking he was about to die. However, he did not feel any pain. When he opened his eyes, his jaw dropped at the sight before him.The bullets stopped midair.Meanwhile, the killers and the oil thieves were equally dumbfounded, so much so that they could not make a sound. It was as if somebody was strangling their necks."Go!" Frederick shouted.The bullets returned to where they came from.Pfft, pfft, pfft!A series of muffled sounds and miserable screams could be heard. The killers and oil thieves were all killed by the bullets.The security guard was terrified, and collapsed on the ground.Frederick was t
“Don't worry. I'm here. No one can destroy this oilfield," Frederick said with a nod.The security guard looked up at Frederick in disbelief. "Who exactly are you?" "I told you. I'm the owner of this oilfield." Frederick laughed."But isn't this oilfield owned by the Whalens?"Clearly, the security guard didn’t take Frederick seriously when he said this oilfield belonged to him. Like everyone else, he thought Frederick was making it up."The Whalens lost the oilfield to me. Otherwise, why would their management team withdraw completely?" Frederick explained.The security guard's jaw dropped. This was the largest oilfield ever discovered in Drakonia. It was literally priceless.What kind of bet did they make to lose such a big oilfield?"It doesn't matter. You should hurry up and run. Even if you're the owner of this oilfield, Lone Wolf is fully capable of preventing the site from opening. Although the oil thieves are blatantly stealing from us, we'd only try to make them leave
Lone Wolf froze for a moment before frowning intensely and turning to look at his subordinates behind him.“I'm sure you didn't instruct them to steal oil. You might not even know about it. However, the Lone Wolf organization has grown too big. Once something goes beyond your control, it may result in a huge disaster," Frederick explained.Back when he helped Rocky to reclaim the underground forces, he borrowed manpower from Lone Wolf. There were hundreds of those fierce fighters who could easily overpower the major underground forces in Mirage City."I kicked you because of your dereliction of duty. Now, leave with your men and clean up the mess!" Frederick shouted.Lone Wolf took a deep breath and stood up. “Boss, I understand!”He looked like he could kill someone.There were a few people in the crowd whose foreheads were covered in sweat. Their faces turned pale."Are you relieved now? Lone Wolf won't return to cause trouble again."Frederick looked at the downtrodden secur
"I still don't know your name."Frederick reached out to the security guard, and smiled."It’s Danial Zeller."Danial grabbed Frederick's hand tightly. Frederick pulled him off the ground."In that case, I'll leave the oilfield in your hands. Three generations of your family have dedicated your lives to this industry. I'm sure you know many people share the same ambitions. I believe you'll be able to form a complete team to continue developing the oilfield," Frederick said.Danial felt immense pressure. At the same time, he also felt energized."I'll do my best!" Danial nodded with a serious look on his face.The next day, Frederick signed a contract with Danial and completely entrusted the oilfield to him.At night, Frederick arrived at Celia's house.This was the first time he went to her house.Frederick's eyes snapped wide open as soon as the door was opened. Inside, Celia had on a flight attendant's uniform. She bowed deeply to him, revealing her cleavage."Hello, sir.
Frederick stopped walking, and looked at them."You can ask your master if I'm still a loser or not."He pointed at Garry."He already secured the position as the deputy general manager of Soar Group, but he lost the job which would have given him an annual salary of several millions just because I said so," Frederick said calmly.Winnie frowned a little when she heard the word 'master'. As for Andy and Ashton, they were stunned for a moment—then, they burst into laughter.Frederick was truly interesting. He actually said something like that! Who did he think he was? Did he make Garry lose his job because of something he said? Was he even capable of that?However, after laughing for a while, the two sensed something was amiss.Garry's expression had turned dark.They were both shocked. Was Frederick telling the truth?Garry took a deep breath, and forced a smile upon his face."That's right. He's telling the truth. Our classmate is doing very well now. You probably don't kn
“The manager here knows my dad. I'll call him to get us the best room. Mr. Lester, are you fine with that?" Garry said, shooting a provocative at Frederick.By then, Frederick already guessed what Garry was up to. However, he didn’t care."Suit yourself," he said with a blank expression.Garry smirked, and dialed the manager's number. Soon, Empire Club's manager came to greet them."Garry, have you returned to Mirage? I met with your dad a while ago. He talked about you," Empire Club's manager said, smiling when he saw Garry."Yeah. I came to support your business as soon as I returned, Mr. Hewitt." Garry chuckled."Just come right in next time. I'll arrange something for you!" The manager patted Garry on his shoulder. He owned shares in Empire Club."Mr. Hewitt, would you be able to get us the best room here?" Garry asked.The manager was stunned when he heard this. "Sure, we still have the Imperial Room, but—"Garry cut him off before he could finish his sentence. "Mr. Hewit
Where did this madman come from?He immediately offered 30 million!Sean thought he was a bad enough black sheep in the family, but someone else was worse than him."Psycho! You can have this room!" Sean cursed, and walked away."Since you made the bid, make sure you can afford to pay 30 million. Otherwise, it won't just be a disgrace to you. If you can't pay up, Empire Club won't let you off the hook!" Garry said. "Is 30 million a lot? Besides, why were you so quiet when the bid reached 10 million? If you don't have what it takes, don't act like such a big shot! Shut the hell up, pauper!" Frederick said. He smirked, and retrieved his debit card. He swiped it, and entered his passcode."Transaction of 30 million is complete!" announced the point-of-sale device.For a while, the people in the room were silent. Did Frederick really just spend 30 million like it was nothing?"Mr. Lester, you sure act differently now that you're with a rich roman," Ashton said enviously."Mr. H
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
