Celine said that Fred had not only made Targorth, the son of the White House senator, kneel before him but then also killed him. Hearing this, Dael's expression became noticeably serious. He fixed his gaze on Fred coldly and said, "I see we’ve been graced by a high-level warlord from Somerland. That explains the audacity you dare show before the Blairs. However, this is not Somerland; this is the United States. More importantly, this is the Blair family! Overly audacious folks will find it hard to take a single step here!”The crowd immediately echoed his words at that. After all, it was evident to everyone that Old Dale was preparing to confront Fred. They had no idea what methods Old Dale were going to use to deal with someone like Fred, who had completely disregarded societal rules and relied solely on brute force. However, the prestige that Old Dale, a longtime patriarch of the Blair family, had accumulated throughout the years instantly ignited hope in them.“Is that so?”Fr
Ever since Fred reached the pinnacle of the world five years ago and became a living legend known as the revered Great One, no other country in the world was as focused on him as the United States. They had him monitored under various forms of surveillance and scrutiny.The United States had always considered themselves the world's superpower, relying on their immense military and technological capabilities. All of a sudden, Fred emerged and overshadowed them as the number one figure in the world. The entire world, let alone the United States, was discomfited. Hence, anyone would have information about Fred at their fingertips and his portrait etched into their minds as long as they held a high position in the country. This was why Randy, who was the second-in-command of the U.S. military, was now frozen in place. He looked pale and was drenched in sweat as his mind fell into turmoil. Initially, he claimed so confidently that he would deal with Old Dael’s situation. "T-The Great
While Randy's visit to the Blair family this time was undoubtedly because he wanted to improve regulations after the Orton family was in trouble, Old Dael also had his own agenda. He wanted to use Randy to expand the Blair family's influence within the military.When Old Dael had this thought, his brows furrowed slightly. Could it be that Fred had come to the Blair family because of Randy? Or perhaps he was brought here by Randy to assess the Blair family’s true strength?With these thoughts in mind, an idea immediately formed in Old Dael's head as he looked at Randy with a smile. "General Randy, is something stopping you from taking action? If that's the case, the Blair family can handle it! While we allowed him to go on with his show of arrogance earlier, this is still our territory. We will naturally take care of it!"Handle it? Take care of it?Hearing Old Dael overly confident words, Randy was utterly confused about what he had said. Yet, Old Dael himself could care less.The w
H-He was kneeling? Randy was actually kneeling before Fred?What in the world? What was going on?Every single figure of influence in the U.S. who were present had been continuously reevaluating their perspectives from the moment Fred appeared at the scene. They initially thought Fred was just some Somerland warlord who appeared out of nowhere. However, Targorth, the son of the White House senator, fell to his knees. Following that, Iglis, the successor to the position of the U.S. God of War died. However, none of these events came close to the shock they felt when Randy fell to his knees before Fred. This was because of who Randy was!He was the second-in-command of the U.S. military. It was not an exaggeration to say that Randy symbolized the United States in a certain sense. Yet, despite his prestigious position, he was actually kneeling in front of Fred at this moment. Not only that, it looked like he had done so willingly and with utmost respect.How could the people present not
It was rather obvious at this moment that Celine could not accept the current situation. She even ceased to believe Old Dael’s words, and he was the patriarch of the Blair family.Old Dael could also see clearly that his granddaughter was obsessed. He could only sigh and say, "The situation has already come to this, my dear. Even if you don't want to admit it, there's no way around it!"With that, Old Dael shifted his attention from Celine to Fred as he looked at him with a fearful expression. At the end of the day, it did not matter how much he doted on Celine. He could not let the entire Blair family be destroyed for her sake!Old Dael bowed to Fred slightly and said respectfully, "Great One, the Blairs… the Blairs are guilty!""Guilty of what?" Fred asked coldly."Celine promised that the Blairs would submit to you. Yet, she openly violated the agreement, and that is a crime!“You came to us to collect your due. Not only did we not come to our senses and obey, but we also thought o
Becoming someone else’s servants? Before today, no one would have imagined to hear such words tied to the number one family in the United States! After all, being number one not only pertained to financial power but also a prominent position in politics!It was no exaggeration to say that while any family in the United States could potentially fall, the Blair family would never!Yet, the very same family had submitted today. They submitted before Fred and were even willing to offer all their assets to become Fred's servants!Many were unable to accept this scene.It had originally only been Fred's goal to subdue the Blair family to pave the way for what came next. Now that Old Dael had submitted, Fred's anger finally subsided. Afterward, with Old Dael accompanying him, Fred did not force his way as he had done previously. Instead, he walked in openly amid the family.With Fred’s entrance, everyone present also knew that from then on, the Blair family would no longer be the same a
Anyone with a brain knew that Randy had only these two choices given the circumstances. That was why he had come before Fred.Some amount of time passed. Although Randy felt an immense fear facing Fred, as a soldier, he gritted his teeth and said, "I-I cannot betray the United States!"He immediately tensed up after he said that, his entire body stiffening like a piece of wood. This was due to fear, but also because he was prepared for Fred to strike him down with a single blow for refusing him. What surprised him, however, was Fred’s unexpected reaction. Fred accepted the tea Tyne had brewed for him, took a sip, and smiled. “When did I ever say I wanted you to betray the United States?""You’re not asking me to betray my country?" Randy was slightly puzzled, but then he furrowed his brows. He said again, "Great One, you now control the entire Blair family. You also plan to eliminate the Orton family! The moment the Ortons are taken out, the United States' political landscape will fal
On March 3rd, significant news regarding the U.S. political landscape was announced. With Dael, the head of the Blair family, taking the lead, they accused the current head of the Orton family, Cameron, of being responsible for the recent decline in the United States' status due to international turbulence.It gained the support of numerous people. Subsequently, Cameron was forced to leave the White House in disgrace while Dale took over his position.This change in leadership seemed like a routine transition of power to the American people at first. Most people paid no attention to it considering the rivalry between the two families over the years.However, what happened next awakened everyone to the truth. Cameron's resignation was just the beginning.On March 5th, a group of military officials led by Randy released incriminating evidence against Cameron and members of the Orton family who had held important positions in the White House and the U.S. political scene over the years. W
Marciella walking away did not bode well with the giant snake. Marciella was its food! How could it accept that its food had escaped?Marciella had not moved far yet. She reluctantly looked back at Fred.She did not know how Fred would handle the River God. She could only hope Fred would be okay!When Fred saw that she had left, he geared up, rubbing his palms in glee. He had an eager look on his face, which confused the giant snake.It was the snake’s first time meeting a man like Fred!How strange indeed!At this time!Suddenly, Fred said with hostility etched on his face, "Hey, Big Snake, what are you going to do now?"The snake's attention was entirely focused on him, which seemed off to Fred."What I’m going to do?"The giant snake fixated its eyes on Fred. It felt that it could handle a human like Fred easily.“I’m going to kill you with one bite! How dare you look down on me like this!"The giant snake rushed toward Fred fiercely at a speed so fast that no one could
Fred was annoyed by the giant snake's arrogant tone. Fred squinted his eyes at the snake and asked in confusion, "Why are you making that face?"“Huh?"The giant snake was shocked. He thought that Fred would submit to him, but to his surprise, Fred was not shaken at all.The snake was about to lose his temper.“Dirty snake, haven't I made myself clear enough? I think you are probably sleep-talking if you want me to hand over my people to you..." Fred said impatiently.At this moment…Feeling that it was being ridiculed, the snake said suddenly, "You punk, this is the first time anyone spoke to me this way. What is your name?"“Me?"Fred was stunned subconsciously, not knowing what the snake wanted. Suddenly, he understood.“Did you want to know my name so you can remember me, bow down before me, and become my follower? Sure, I’ll give you that chance!"He was adding fuel to the fire. The giant snake almost spat out blood in anger!"What? You want me to follow an immature bei
Huh!?Putting aside Marciella, even Fred could not hide his shock as a giant snake appeared from under the water!A giant snake!How could it be!?Fred's eyes widened at the sheer size of the snake. "A Giant Snake… Is this the so-called River God?"Moreover, the size was humongous. The snake must be at least ten stories high!What a huge snake!Fred finally understood why he felt a powerful force under the water!There was a sharp glint in the giant snake’s eyes! That was the blinking light from time to time!"Who comes here? Are you from the village? Who do you plan to sacrifice to me this time?" As soon as the giant snake spoke, Fred realized that this was not the first time it had done this.The snake seemed familiar with the ritual process. Obviously, the villagers had witnessed this giant snake before. This was the meeting between the two sides! Fred felt uncomfortable at this. As for the giant snake, it felt bemused when it saw Fred. The snake had never seen Fred befo
Fred was going to risk it all to open this girl's eyes!The force from the punch was extraordinary! As soon as the tree was hit by the seismic fist, it fell immediately and the whole tree split neatly in two!Marciella was dumbfounded!Although she knew how powerful Fred was, to witness his power was a different thing entirely!"Master Fred, your power is insane!"Marciella could not help but applaud.Fred seemed indifferent, as though he had no feeling at all about this."Is it? Why do you think so?"He looked so indifferent.For Ancient Martial Arts, things did not get any simpler than this!"You’re so strong. Anyway, I don’t doubt you anymore..." Marciella sighed, suddenly feeling very sad. "This is the reward of being educated. If we were more knowledgeable, we wouldn’t be so clueless.”"Haha, if you can't solve your issues, your descendants can work harder," Fred said with a wink.Marciella said, "Mr. Fred, I needed to ask you something! What if our luck was changed ju
What Fred said aroused her curiosity."What does it look like when you offer a sacrifice?"Fred knew he could not speak of this matter. Sure enough, Marciella felt a little downcast after Fred said the words. She did not know why Fred would say such a thing. Suddenly, Fred felt bad about it.He coughed and said, "Don't think too much about it... I just want to find a clue. Maybe we could find a solution. Why does it never rain in your village?""Huh?"Marciella's eyes, which were still a little dejected, suddenly realized what was important and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Fred, are you saying that the reason why it never rains in our village is because someone is behind it?"Although Fred was unwilling to admit it, he could not help but nod. "Yes, this is exactly what you thought!""For real?!"Marciella felt hopeful again when she heard this. She said hastily, "The thing you asked about is pretty simple. You can just check out that place!""That place?"Fred turned around to see w
Marciella found herself nodding in agreement with Fred's harsh assessment. "You're spot on," she said. "That woman is nothing but vile!"Seeing Marciella's reaction, a rare smile crossed Fred's face as he nodded back. "Glad you see it my way," he said.What caught Fred off guard was the villagers' reaction. One by one, their faces turned ashen with despair.It seemed to them that nothing could be worse than the predicament they were facing. The absence of the witch spelled doom for the village—it was like their last shred of hope had vanished. They had all put their faith in her to charm the River God into blessing them with rain, which would have brought some peace to their troubled lives. However, now their chances seemed to have dried up just like their fields. Fred stood there, his face a mask of serenity amidst the chaos.In the moments that followed, the village chief was a picture of despair, his only option was to send everyone home while he racked his brain for a backup pl
"What?"Fred did not even have time to blink before the witch suddenly made a move.It was like a bomb went off.Kaboom!Then, she was dead!Fred dusted off his hands, even surprising himself with his lack of tolerance for the witch.Now, though, he had a real headache. He had planned to clear the air with the witch and lay out the past so everyone would know the full picture.He thought that might just turn things around.The situation changed when she vanished, and Fred's plans were completely derailed. Then again, changing the villagers' minds was not going to be a walk in the park anyway. They were pretty set in their ways, thanks to all the stuff they had been fed.As such, just talking it out might not cut it. Heck, it could even mess with history!With the witch out of the equation, Fred figured he might as well try a different tactic. Maybe if he took out the guy in the cloak and worked his own magic to bring some rain, it could save a lot of hassle. The more he thoug
"No way!"The witch bristled with defiance. She could not accept that she was no match for Fred.As she noticed Fred's focus was locked on her, a sly idea popped up in her mind.Before she could act on it, though, she found herself pinned against the wall by Fred in a flash...Her face contorted in disbelief. She was pinned so tightly that she could not even move!The witch was completely overpowered, her heart racing with panic.How could he be so much stronger than her?Fred, on the other hand, seemed unfazed."What's going through your head? You don't seriously think you can take me on, do you?" Fred asked, his voice laced with skepticism.The witch felt utterly trapped, as if at any second, Fred might just finish her off."Look, I messed up, okay? Can we not do this? I'm old, just a pile of brittle bones—I can't take this kind of rough treatment!" the witch pleaded with Fred, trying a new tactic to get through to him.Fred was not falling for it. He looked at her with a
"Heh, I caught on to you a while back, you know. You've been tailing me, and I'm pretty sure you're here for me. Plus, you don't have the look of someone from our village. That means you are an outsider, and I'm your target, right? Listen, man, we don't have any beef with each other, so why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"The witch had sensed the raw power rolling off Fred, and it was enough to send shivers down her spine!At that moment, she knew that challenging Fred was not going to be a walk in the park! If she had spotted him earlier in the forest, it would not have been good news for her. For starters, she had no clue how many tricks Fred had up his sleeve, and if he took her down, she and her buddy would be toast.However, the witch was not about to let Fred take her out without a fight! She racked her brain and finally settled on one strategy!She would try to sweet-talk him, hoping Fred would fall for her words just like everyone else, and fall into he
