"Not only him! His family too! And his friends! I want anyone related to him dead! Make him regret ever provoking me, Sookie Hans! Better yet, make him regret ever being born in this world!”Dead?Edward was not surprised by her answer but still shot a look at Elder Hans. After all, he did only just come here today to appease Elder Hans.Although Elder Hans was about to retire soon, his promotion to a higher-ranking official at this time was not something to be underestimated. This was because his influence and the connections he had would remain significant even after he retired.Considering the circumstances, Edward would, of course, want to curry favor with him. Edward noticed Elder Hans’ brow trembling faintly and wondered if it was because of his killing intent. Elder Hans had already been like this ever since Fred dared do what he did to Sookie. However, he had always been famous for being someone who never got his hands dirty. Not only that, he had been weighing the pros

Elder Hans even scoffed. "That's right! What are you fussing about with a dead man? Follow me to welcome them. It stands to reason that the general and deputy general will be arriving in person since a special level-one order has been issued.”Saying that, Elder Hans stepped forward to greet them while Derek and the rest of the Hans family followed closely behind.None of them paid Fred any heed since he was a dead man as Elder Hans and Jordan had said.In just a few steps, Elder Hans had led everyone to the entrance where they happened to see that the general and deputy general, Leonard and Warren respectively, had arrived with a group of Six Ministries staff. Putting on a smile, Elder Hans greeted, "Gentlemen, the Hans family humbly welcomes yo—”What everyone did not expect, however, was for both men to step past him even before he was even done greeting them. Warren even snorted. “Get out of the way. Don’t block us.”“W-What…”They had gone up to them with smiles on their fac

Derek immediately scoffed. "A special level-one order is a special order that's only for the higher authority, yet you dare use it for this kid! What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that this kid is some higher authority?”After saying that, he continued even more righteously, "I heard people have been getting restless ever since the Nation's Elder fell seriously ill. I didn't expect anyone to be so bold as to designate just anyone to be a higher authority. Leonard, Warren, you’re the general and the deputy general of the Six Ministries respectively! Are you two taking advantage of this time to revolt? I’ll tell you this! Even if this is your plan, I, Derek Sanders, strategist of the Capital City Battlefield, will never agree to it! Men, to me! Arrest these rebel lunatics!”Leonard immediately raged when he heard this. “You dare?”For a moment, even Warren’s expression was dark. It was obvious that neither of them thought Derek would say such a thing!More importantly,

"Hehe, if you wish so much to die, then give it a shot! Let's see if it’s the flourishing Hans family that will reign supreme or some washed-up former general! You overestimate yourself if you think you can fight us!”Derek had completely offended Fred, be it the moment he just arrived or when he ordered his men to open fire on him. It was no surprise then that he was now on Elder Hans’ side."So you’re just some regiment general, huh? You're practically on the same level as me and yet you want to fight the Hans family to the end? How ridiculous!”As the Hans family let fly their ridicule and mockery, Terrence, who was the deputy commander of the Eastern General Warzone, remained silent. The same went for Joseph and Varis, who were both the first-class strategist and second-class strategist respectively.Even Leonard and Warren just shook their heads and scoffed.Fred got up slowly while the Hans family sneered at him. He said calmly, "When did I say I was the former general of th

There was incomparable terror.Panic and anxiety took over the other Hans family members present, and their emotions were not only directed at Fred but also at Sookie.This was because anyone that Sookie latched onto would be doomed!She had dragged Jordan down first, and now, he was about to join her. She then involved Derek, and he was executed on the spot! How could anyone not be afraid in a situation like this? How could they not feel the terror?Some time passed before Elder Hans finally gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He did this for no other reason than Sookie and Jordan being the only two youths of the Hans family. How could be willing to let them go just like that?“Fred, at the end of the day, Simon and I served as officials during the same time. Sookie is indeed at fault this time, but can you just—”“No, I can’t,” Fred cut him off. “I’ll make sure their bodies are intact seeing as you were friends with Simon.”“You…” Elder Hans instantly trembled at that.Thi
