What… just happened?Everyone was bewildered at this moment when they saw Wernest flying and crashing into the wall despite being so menacing a while ago. They could not comprehend what had occurred in that split second.Standing beside Fred, however, Eileen had seen everything unfold clearly.Fred had taken action!Even though her grandfather had repeatedly told her that Fred was a living legend and an invincible powerhouse, it always sounded like an exaggeration to her. Being on the warlord path herself now, she often felt that it was just her grandfather's hyperbole. After all, warlords were indeed godlike beings to ordinary people.However, what could explain the situation now?Wernest was at least a rank 5 warlord, making him a formidable expert among common warlords. It was why he had been recruited by the Wood family as a guard. Despite being a rank 5 powerhouse, he was utterly powerless before Fred and actually sent flying with just a slap. Fred was this strong?"B

Ten seconds to repent and then choose how he would like to die? That was incredibly high-handed of him. The moment the man said that, everyone present felt the dominance he exuded. Some could not help but gasp in astonishment even. In most cases of confrontations, one would start by asking questions to understand the situation, or maybe even posture themselves a bit. No one would demand for the other party's death like how this man from the Wood family just did. He did not even ask for the details of the situation.For a brief moment, the people's gazes on Fred were filled with pity."Sigh... Young people are impulsive and often invite trouble with their recklessness! Now that this young man has stepped in, the kid is probably done for," sighed a warlord on the side. "Hehe, is he now? I'm not so sure!" Just as a warlord said that, another older man immediately sneered. "He attacked the Wood family's people on their turf! When was the last time something like this happened?

Annihilate the Wood family?When Ziad heard what Fred said, he felt as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world. The Wood family was the most significant martial force in Dexton. They established the rules for the martial artists in the area. Any warlord who wanted to survive in this region had to abide by their rules or a dead end would be waiting for them. This was the true power and influence the Wood family held.Yet, Fred—a young man who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and looked to be under 30—was now saying that he would annihilate the Wood family. It was an utterly laughable proposition.Ziad immediately burst into hearty laughter and said, "Haha! How interesting, truly! It appears that all the years the Wood family has kept a low profile has attracted a sprout like you who dares proclaim that they'll annihilate us. It's absolutely hilarious!"The other warlords in the vicinity also regarded Fred with disdain in their eyes although not as openly as Ziad di

To see Ziad suddenly kneel without any apparent reason left everyone who thought Fred and his group were doomed stunned. They were all at a loss.What was going on? How could Ziad kneel so suddenly and with no warning? Most importantly, Ziad was the second son of the Wood family, a powerful figure in the world of warlords. He held vast resources and possessed formidable strength. He was an absolute figure of authority, yet this imposing figure was now kneeling before Fred because of the words 'Great One'.This piqued everyone's curiosity. What kind of magic did these two words hold that could make someone like Ziad so fearful?"Could he be a super powerful figure?" someone curiously asked. They had caught the phrases 'the world of warlords' and 'the eight major warlord families' that were thrown around earlier. It definitely sounded to them that Fred was a big shot with some sort of superpower to have scared Ziad so much.How else could Fred have the power to scare Ziad otherwi

Seeing Fred leave, the people gathered around the market stalls let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like they had been holding their breath all this time. Finally, they could relax.Although the rest did not have that big of a reaction, they had the same thoughts. After all, everything had happened so suddenly—from Ziad suddenly kneeling down without warning to later begging desperately. The atmosphere was depressing, and it made them involuntarily nervous even when they did not know who Fred was. If they were not warlords with strength that was beyond ordinary people, it was likely that someone would have peed their pants from the atmosphere just now."Um... Mr. Ziad, who's that person exactly?" someone who had a good relationship with Ziad finally asked."Who is he?" Ziad shook his head and replied, "He's the most powerful being in this world! An invincible existence.""Invincible... Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" The person clearly had some doubts."Exaggeration?" Zi
