‘Just like that?’Harper was shocked. He did ask for Fred, but he did not expect Damian to agree so easily.　He had no idea that when Fred said they had no right, Damian had already been planning how he wanted to kill Fred. Coupled with the fact that the marriage was no more and Fred was useless to the Hoffmans now.Even if Harper did not ask for Fred, Damian would still kill him after Harper left. “So this is the Hoffmans’ pawn?”While Harper and Damian were talking about handing Fred over to Charles, Eileen also noticed how everyone else was looking at Fred. She knew that Fred was the person from the subsidiary branch that the Hoffmans had chosen to marry her. After looking Fred up and down, Eileen could not help but mutter, “He’s so ordinary! He’s just a lowly member of the family’s subsidiary branch! He doesn’t even hold a match against Charles!” Eileen nudged Elaine and asked, “Don’t you think so too, Elaine?” ‘Don’t I think so too?’Elaine was flabbergasted, and

Prince Ryes of Jardin Province?Fabian’s expression changed from disdain that was aimed at Lord Eland to shock. As the head of the tyrants in Cloud Province, Fabian naturally knew who Prince Ryes was. The Ryes were just like them, albeit dominating Jardin Province instead of Cloud Province. Moreover, Jardin Province was a more developed province compared to Cloud Province. In terms of financial strength, the Ryes were also stronger than the Hoffmans. Just then, a group of men made their way into the Hoffmans’ residence like Lord Eland had a moment ago. The man leading them was precisely Prince Ryes who had just recovered from his sickness. Members of the Hoffman family who were more familiar with Jardin Province also took a look at the men who were following behind the prince. “Maynard Bowman of Dragon City’s Shape Group, Gerard Sarratt of Creek City’s Sarratt Enterprises, Norman Gutierrez of Balm City’s Forever Well Enterprises, Anthony Knight, Malcolm Garrett, Ellery Jack

‘H-How was this possible?’Jardin Province’s tyrant, Prince Ryes, and the top figures of the province’s 13 cities had come for Fred? The Hoffmans’ expressions changed drastically as they watched Prince Ryes and the others bow and greet Fred loudly.The expressions of Damian, Fabian, and Harper soured. Especially Harper, who had so confidently told Fabian that he and Prince Ryes were close friends and Prince Ryes could not possibly have come here for Fred. Reality smacked him across the face within the minute as Prince Ryes greeted Fred with the top figures in tow. Harper immediately walked over and asked Prince Ryes, “Prince Ryes, a-are you sure? He’s just the Hoffmans’ discarded pawn. Even if he owns Fantastic Group, he’s still a nobody. You don’t have to treat him like this…” “How dare you?!”Prince Ryes had been sitting in this position as the local tyrant of Jardin Province for two terms of the alliance. He was a powerful and influential man, and his temper was hardl

‘A call from one of those men I was asking about?‘Ask him myself?‘Who are you trying to kid?’Linden snorted as he looked at the phone Fred tossed over. He instinctively glanced at the caller ID, and his expression changed drastically at what he saw.It was a name he was very familiar with. In fact, everyone in Somerland knew this name. It was Windsor Lyons, the Nation’s Elder! This man had one of the highest authorities in Somerland and was considered one of the nation’s leaders.Linden gasped. “Y-You’re lying!”“Why would I?” Fred said calmly, “Answer the call and see for yourself.”‘Answer the call?’Linden was speechless. Fred was just a discarded pawn of the Hoffmans. He was so insignificant that Linden could get rid of him with no effort required. Yet this man dared to make such a joke and have someone pretend to be one of the nation’s leaders, Windsor Lyons. How dare he?!Strangely, despite his thoughts, Linden still reached out to press the ‘answer’ button.

Almost instantly after suggesting that, Fred was the receiving target of the angry shouts of the Hoffmans.Fabian scoffed. “How dare you disrespect this scroll, brat? How dare you? Do you even know how distinguished the person who wrote this is? Who do you think you are? Write a few more? How dare you compare yourself to the person who wrote this?” ‘How dare you compare yourself?’Immediately, three people in the crowd had weird expressions on their faces. Specifically, Stellar, Prince Ryes, and the general of the Six Ministries in Cloud City, Linden, who was kneeling in front of Fred. This was because they knew Fred was the revered Great One, the living legend who stood at the pinnacle of the world. He was the person who wrote those words on the scroll that the Hoffmans treated as their biggest trump card. However, Fabian berated Fred while holding the scroll Fred wrote, claiming that Fred could not be compared to himself? This whole fiasco was nothing if not ridiculous.
