My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing! Chapter 904
The apartment, usually bustling with people, now looked like an abandoned building. Not a soul was in sight.The elevator had been shut down, so Frederick and Willa had to climb the stairs.“The crime scene is on the twenty-third floor. The victim was a backpacker. Based on our investigation, he was traveling around Drakonia and had just returned from the Western Frontier yesterday,” Willa explained as they climbed.Though Willa was a woman, her stamina was better than most men. After climbing all the way to the 23rd floor, she wasn’t even slightly out of breath.“We’re here.”The law enforcer who was standing guard at the stairwell nodded at Willa to greet her, but his attention quickly shifted to Frederick.“Who’s this?” “He’s someone I brought in for assistance to inspect the scene,” Willa replied.Lance Zephyr looked about the same age as Willa, indicating he hadn’t been with Law Enforcement long. He seemed confused, and scratched his head.“Is he one of us? I don’t remem

"Captain, he’s—" Willa started to explain, but Jorge cut her off. "I don’t care who he is. Tell him to leave immediately. Willa, I was already being nice by putting your name on the list. Our fathers are friends, which is why I added your name to give you more opportunities to gain experience," the man said dotingly.Willa shuddered in discomfort upon hearing his tone, while the others in Unit 2308 ignored their conversation and focused on their work.Frederick had been silently observing the place the moment he was here."Willa brought me here to help with the case. If you don’t let me into the crime scene, how am I supposed to help?" he finally spoke up.Jorge scoffed, as if he’d heard something utterly ridiculous."You? Helping with the case? Do you know who I am? I’m the top detective in Aston, and I’m also known as the ‘Ace Detective’ in the Law Enforcement system. I’ve solved thirteen cold cases and brought thirty-seven criminals to justice ever since I arrived in Aston. I

"Yeah, the killer did enter and exit through the window. That also explains why there were no footprints left in the room or hallway after the murder," Frederick said while nodding.Then, he put on gloves and opened the window. Looking down from the 23rd floor, the height would make one's head spin. The apartment’s exterior was a glass surface. The bare and slick touch made it impossible to imagine how someone could climb to the 23rd floor."What a smart alec! Do you think we didn’t consider that possibility? It was the first one we ruled out! Prove it to us if you insist that you’re right. I want to see how anyone could enter or exit through the window!" Jorge taunted.Frederick wasn’t foolish enough to suggest using a rope to lower oneself down—it was the 23rd floor, after all. A rope long enough to descend 200 feet and strong enough to hold an adult would be too noticeable. And if the killer did use a rope, how would they unhook themselves after landing?"It’s easy," Frederi

Frederick bent his knees, crouched low, and sprang up like a leopard on the hunt. He jumped at a forty-five-degree angle instead of straight up.At the peak of his jump, he used his strong core muscles to momentarily hover in the air. Then, with a powerful kick against the wall, he propelled himself even higher!This allowed him to reach for the windowsill, with only the pads of eight fingers gripping the ledge supporting his entire body weight. The muscles in his arms tensed up, and with a burst of strength from his fingers, he flung himself upward.Frederick continued this method, climbing floor by floor. From the perspective of the others on the ground, his figure grew smaller and smaller, yet more and more impressive.Jorge felt a chill run down his spine. In the blink of an eye, Frederick had already climbed to the twentieth floor—around 200 feet above the ground! One misstep, and he’d be reduced to nothing but broken bones.“What the hell! Where on earth did you find thi

The investigation had made a breakthrough. The special investigation team returned to the city police headquarters, where an entire floor had been cleared to serve as their working area. On the wall, Jorge had arranged the photos of the bloodstains in order from highest to lowest.He frowned deeply while staring at the photos.As Frederick had pointed out, the killer’s route in and out had perfectly avoided all the surveillance cameras. However, these photos didn’t provide any additional clues.Frederick was waiting for the team to share their insights, but instead, he was met with long silence. He sighed in frustration. He hadn’t wanted to steal the spotlight, as too much attention always invites resentment.Jorge was slightly irked by Frederick’s sigh. “What do you think, Frederick?”While he admired Frederick’s skills and courage, Jorge prided himself on his ability to interpret clues. Still, he kept his irritation in check since the bloodstains had been discovered thanks

A who was smoking while leaning against the headboard spoke up with a frown. “Wilbert, isn’t it too bold of us to come back to this building after the killing?”“Chill, Alice. Those Drakonia fools couldn’t find us at all,” Wilbert said with a sneer of disdain on his face.No one would suspect that after committing murder, they would brazenly take the elevator upstairs and check into a homestay in the same apartment building. When the special investigation team had initially screened the building's occupants for suspects, they dismissed Wilbert and Alice because the two had checked in after the crime. They also hadn’t been seen on surveillance footage entering the apartment before the murder.“I don’t know why, but I have a foreboding feeling,” Alice said, and exhaled smoke which made her face hazy.“Maybe it’s the blood stirring your desires but leaving you unsatisfied,” Wilbert said. He then set down his wine, glass and walked over to Alice. “But Alice, while we may crave bl

Wilbert pushed open the window. However, his expression darkened when he saw the law enforcers standing below.Although the apartment had been locked down earlier, only the entrances and exits were sealed. The wall beneath his window didn’t have any doors, but the law enforcers were standing right at his usual point of entry and exit.“Alice, something’s not right,” Wilbert said in a low voice.Alice sprang up from the bed, ignoring the fact that she was still naked, and rushed to the window. Her expression immediately turned grim at the sight.“Didn’t you say these stupid Drakonians wouldn’t be able to figure out how we committed the crime?” Alice glared at Wilbert angrily as she questioned him.“This...is just a fluke!” Wilbert said, rubbing his nose awkwardly. “They can’t do anything to us, even if they’ve found us. Still, we should leave now to avoid trouble.”“The entire building is under three hundred and sixty-degree surveillance! How do we leave?” Alice snapped.Hearin

The sound of gunfire immediately alerted all the law enforcers stationed inside and outside the apartment. Their communication channels buzzed non-stop as they rushed toward the source of the gunshots. -Meanwhile, the elevator descended slowly, and the special investigation team was racing toward the apartment.“What? The suspects have made a move? Hold them off! We’ll be there soon!”Jorge was shocked. He had never imagined that the suspects would reveal themselves and boldly attack the law enforcers.Upon hearing this, Frederick reached for the car door handle, but the door was locked due to the car speeding down the road at over 90 kilometers per hour. He was unable to open it.“What are you trying to do?” Jorge was startled. Jumping out of the car at this speed would surely mean certain death.Frederick didn’t respond—now wasn’t the time for conversation.Boom!With a strong push, Frederick ripped the entire car door off. The driver instinctively slammed on the bra

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
