He did not look outstanding? When Tyne heard what Tina said, she looked at Fred, who was standing outside smoking and chatting with Stellar. She could not help but burst into laughter. She was laughing too hard to respond to the question regarding what he did for a living. Still, she had no idea how to explain who he was either. She certainly could not tell her former classmate that her boyfriend was the number one warlord in the world and that he had recently come to the United States to take over the Blair family, get General Randy of the U.S. military on his side, and become the true master of the United States.Of course, Tina had no idea that her question had caused Tyne to think so much. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Tyne smiling inexplicably, Tina’s brows furrowed. Then, a thought came upon her as she continued, "Could it be... Is he not actually your boyfriend? Or is he the Great Beauty Tyne’s backup plan?”Tyne could not hold back herself any longer and
"Thank you, hubby!"After kissing Fred on the cheek, Tyne went back shopping in the mall…Just as Tina had said, a car parked in front of the hotel at four o'clock the next day. Dressed elegantly, Tyne immediately got into the car with Fred. They headed toward the reunion venue. It was at a high-end integrated entertainment club called Angel.Tina was already there at the club entrance since earlier on, waiting for them. She saw Tyne get out of the car in her elegant attire and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Tyne, you took your time getting here. I've been waiting here for so long!""Fred and I are on time! You’re just early!" Tyne replied before immediately linking her arm with Fred's as they got out of the car."Your... your boyfriend came along too?"It was quite obvious that Tina had not expected Fred to come along with Tyne and was momentarily taken aback. Although it was just a fleeting moment, Fred caught the hint of discomfort on her face. 'Am I unwelcome or am
"Who is this? How did he end up at a reunion that I organized?" Daniel's question hung in the air, instantly silencing what was, until then, a lively atmosphere.The reason for this sudden hush was simple. Almost all the attendees were aware of Daniel's past infatuation with Tyne. He had pursued her passionately back in the day. However, there was an enormous gap between Daniel's family, the Tobies, and Owen Mcklaus's family. Owen was another one of Tyne's prominent pursuers at the time. As a result, Daniel had to give up his pursuit.However, times had changed. Owen was no longer in the picture, and the once-wealthy McKlauses had fallen from grace.Daniel’s family had recently aligned themselves with a family that had a strong chance of entering the White House, thanks to the recent power shifts in the United States. While they were not guaranteed to skyrocket to the top, it was certainly a significant improvement compared to the family situation of other attendees at the reunion.S
The second interpretation would be that Fred was merely inflating his status. He was just pretending to be more important than he actually was. The way they saw it, running a small company or business was not something considered remarkable.It was evident that none of them believed the first possibility. Because of this, they all looked down on him, especially Daniel. They could not fathom why someone like Tyne would choose a boyfriend like Fred.Sensing the change in atmosphere, Tyne sighed and whispered to Fred, "Shall we go sit over there?""Sure," Fred agreed readily, not bothered by the situation. He considered Daniel and his group's judgment beneath his notice. He had decided to accompany Tyne to this gathering, so he would not let his mood be affected by something small like this. After taking a seat with Tyne, the earlier commotion quickly subsided. The atmosphere turned lively again as people started reminiscing about the past. After all, a class reunion was meant for people
"Daniel, what are you and Tina talking about? We should all join in the conversation!" A few of their classmates called out when they noticed Daniel was not was not part of the group discussion.Daniel smiled in response and glanced at Tina.When Tina saw him looking at her, she knew Daniel wanted her to start. She said, "It’s nothing. We were just talking about the influential people Daniel had the chance to meet recently since his family is quite different now compared to back then.”The mention of influential people piqued everyone's interest. Despite this being a social gathering, expanding one's high-level network was always an appealing notion. So, when everyone heard this, they immediately chimed in as well, “Why are you having such good talks with him by yourself, Tina? Daniel, why don’t you share the news with us?”Hearing what he wanted to hear, Daniel then continued his modest act. He said, "Since you’re all interested, let me give you a brief overview."After sharing his p
An excited buzz fizzled through the room at the answer. Everyone began showering Daniel with compliments one after another. Seeing that his plan was working, Daniel gave Tina a meaningful look.Understanding his signal, Tina nodded and promptly approached Tyne. "Tyne, will you join us? We’re talking about Augustine, after all. He’s from the number one family in the United States. If we can establish a connection, the benefits could be significant!"Tyne hesitated, but seeing how enthusiastic Tina was, she could only nod and say, "Alright, let's go together, then.”With that said, Tyne got up while holding onto Fred's arm. However, since Daniel had orchestrated this entire situation to show off in front of Tyne, how could he allow Fred to be part of it? Not only that, he also saw the opportunity to beat Fred down.So, he deliberately cut in and said, "Tyne, it's not that I'm being petty, but Augustine is a big shot from the Blair family. Not just anyone can meet him. As for Mr. Hoffman
"Mr...Mr...Mr. Augustine!!!" Looking at the furious man in front of him who walked into the private room, Daniel, who was still sitting there dejectedly, instantly turned pale. After all, although Augustine was not strictly a member of the Blair family, he was a fighter type of character. Augustine was, after all, a Super S class powerhouse. Even if someone like him belonged to the hitman category, how could the word 'hitman' be sufficient to describe him? It was certainly not something that Daniel, a member of the tiny Toby family, was able to talk about. Daniel could not catch up on the conversation just now. Coupled with the feeling that he would not be overheard in the private room, he felt it was safe to say what he did. Who would have thought that Augustine actually heard him? This caused him to immediately go forward with an embarrassed smile. "I...Mr. Augustine, why...why are you here? I just wanted to give you a toast on behalf of..." "Don't give me that no
In the end, Daniel was only able to flaunt his power on weekdays due to the power of the Toby family behind him. However, to the underground forces like the Vulture who fought and killed on the road, this scheme did not work on him at all! If they were caught off guard for a moment, their lives would be over immediately! Under such circumstances, how could Daniel not be afraid? As for the other people in the private room, they were reacting even worse than Daniel. They were even more silent as if they were completely frozen. They did not dare to say a word, all of them shivering and shrinking into a ball. "A bunch of losers!" Looking at the crowd like this, the Vulture instantly spat with a disdainful expression. He looked at Augustine and asked, "Mr. Augustine, what next?" "Originally, people like this man are not worth paying attention to at all, but after daring to talk about me behind my back, I cannot allow my pride as a powerhouse to be damaged so easily!"Sayin
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
