Yves and the other two were terrified after Fred’s display of power. Pale and drenched in a cold sweat, they quickly kneeled.Fred continued to say, “I already gave you a second chance last time. No more second chances.”Then, with a scoff, the private room where the three of them were in plummeted to the ground.Boom!With a loud sound, the private room left a crater on the ground and turned to dust.Just like that, Yves, Quintin, and Lyall, chairmen of three large groups in San Hanna, were dead before they could beg for forgiveness.“Mark!”Jade suddenly exclaimed as Mark paled and started to foam at his mouth, eyes blown wide.Fred did not have to look at him to terrify him to death. Fred slowly walked out of where the arena used to be. Passing through the crowd, he did not say another word.Suddenly…“Farewell, Master Hoffman!” Morris stood up and shouted from the Bensons’ private room. Then, leaders from various forces also stood up in their private rooms to replicat

The lady frowned.Weathering Clouds was a restaurant offering Sunrise Islands cuisine. Its interior decorations imitated those in Sunrise Islands, and naturally, its seats were kneeling futons.Yet Fred had pulled over a chair to sit carelessly and look down from above while she kneeled.It looked as if she was his handmaiden.The frown did not last long as she quickly smiled again. “It did not occur to me that you wouldn’t be used to such seating. I apologize. My name is Arnkatla Jonsdottir.”“Arnkatla Jonsdottir? A Sunriser?” Fred asked.“Indeed. Of course, Mr. Hoffman, you could refer to me by my Somer name, Diana Lane,” Arnkatla said with a smile.“Your name isn’t important.” Fred waved her off. “Tell me why you invited me here.”Arnkatla frowned again.Many ladies were vain, especially those who were good-looking and had nice bodies like Arnkatla. Even if she were to stand in front of a popular female celebrity, Arnkatla was still confident in her looks.Yet Fred had ski

‘What’s Yorick laughing about?’What else but the fact that this revered Great One Redwolf and the others bragged to be the only person in Somerland worth their worries was precisely the same man they were bragging to and planning to kill?Redwolf and the others did not know what Yorick was thinking about, nor did they care.What they cared about was the fact that Fred had just called them nobodies.“What did you just say, young man? I don’t think I heard you quite right.” Redwolf, Bloody Hand's S-class assassin, smiled icily at Fred with frost in his eyes.“I said, you’re a nobody who doesn’t know who he’s talking to. You’ve got bad eyes, but I didn’t know you’ve got horrible hearing too,” Fred replied calmly.Not only Redwolf but the four Espionage Society grandmasters wore wretched expressions on their faces as well.They prided themselves in their capabilities, and Redwolf’s capabilities could even terrify governors of some small countries.Yet, they were deemed nobodies by

‘Next?’The remaining four of them gulped, and their hearts raced as they heard Fred’s nonchalant tone and saw his expressionless face.The moment Fred displayed offensive and defensive skills that completely overpowered them, they knew that not all of them would come out alive.Still, knowing was different from seeing.Seeing Fridgeir’s expression of disbelief remain even after his death, some of them had already started thinking about retreating.However, before they could make a move, an oppressive aura cloaked them and locked them in place.“Looks like we got ourselves a difficult opponent this time.”As an S-class assassin, Redwolf was used to walking in and out of places at will. Now, the man wore a solemn expression on his face as he said grimly, “Everyone, this isn’t an issue of whether we can kill him or not. We have no other choice, it’s him or us.”The others nodded in agreement.Fred showed no signs of letting them off.Not when the five of them had infiltrated So

“Great One, Arnkatla has already fled back to Sunrise Islands. Rising Sun Group’s funds were all pulled out overnight and the company is merely a shell now.”The following day, Fred had just returned to Sea City when Stellar arrived in front of Fred with the results of his investigation.“That was quick.” Fred smiled but paid it no mind.Last night, Arnkatla could feel that something was wrong and ran out of the restaurant when the fight began. Then, she fled from Somerland overnight.By the time Fred had killed the four grandmasters and the S-class assassin, there was no sign of the cunning Sunriser anymore.Hence, the first thing Fred did when he returned to Sea City was to have Stellar investigate her whereabouts.He did not expect her to run back to Sunrise Islands and pull out all of Rising Sun’s funding, though.“Looks like she came prepared and planned her escape in advance. Or she wouldn’t have been able to pull out the funds of a group qualified to join the alliance,” F
