When Sagan saw the middle-aged man smile like that, he breathed a sigh of relief. The way he saw it, if the man was able to smile like that, then it meant that his life was secured. However, just as Sagan felt himself relax that moment, his vision suddenly blurred. He found himself unable to move with the middle-aged man's hand around his throat."M-My lord, what are you doing?” Sagan asked, filled with shock. However, the middle-aged man paid him no mind as he treated him as one would a crushed ant. He squeezed his palm, and Sagan’s body spasmed before it went motionless. "You’re but an ant! You've seen my true form and still want to live? What a joke!"The middle-aged man casually tossed Sagan to the ground as if he were garbage and sneered, "My power may be unmatched now, but it’s said that some major overseas powers and even Somerland have weapons powerful enough to threaten me. "It’s better that I be cautious.World domination doesn’t happen in one night after all.”With
"How can this be?!" A furious roar erupted as the middle-aged man, who had been sent flying by Fred's slap, struggled to get up from the ground. His hair was a mess, and his face was twisted in anger. Even so, he could not hide the surprise in his eyes.What was going on?Had he actually been sent flying by a slap from Fred?How was this possible?The middle-aged man had always considered himself to be incredibly powerful. Not to mention that he had even consumed the Golden Silk Cocoon, which further enhanced his already formidable strength. He had recognized Fred as the King of Humanity a long time ago when he dominated the world with his martial prowess. He started monitoring Fred closely ever since and believed himself to have a good understanding of Fred's strength!In theory, Fred's strength should not be a concern for him. The king's aura should not have an effect on him either. Their confrontation should have been a one-sided affair, with the middle-aged man easily overpo
"See that? This is my power! The power that's beyond your reach! Hahaha!" Feeling his own might, the middle-aged man laughed maniacally as he looked at Fred with a sinister gaze.However, his eyes then widened as the same hand from the previouses instances was growing rapidly before his eyes.Then… Slap!There was no difference in the technique at all. In fact, it was even more brutal than before! The man was not only sent flying by the slap, but his cheek had also swelled up like a mountain. “Have any more excuses this time?” Fred asked calmly after slapping the man. The middle-aged man was dumbfounded. He did not even know how to respond. The truth was he had no excuses! He might have considered the first slap a sneak attack, but the second and third ones had clearly demonstrated absolute dominance in terms of strength! Not to mention, he had been given ample time to prepare as well.This made his gaze toward Fred fill with both astonishment and fear. He was astonished by
"Great One, what's the situation?"Three days later, Fred returned from his trip to South Carlos and had been at the Central Garden Villa in Sea City ever since. However, he had been frowning ever since he got back, his expression heavy. This was because of none other than Rita.Rita had fallen into a deep coma ever since she was bitten by the complete Goldensilk Cocoon back in South Carlos. At the time, Fred had been juggling dealing with the mysterious middle-aged man and using his Ancient Medical skills.He had only briefly checked on Rita. When he realized she was not in a life-threatening condition, he left her aside temporarily.He had planned to wait until he resolved the situation before examining Rita's injuries more thoroughly. He did not expect it to be so complicated, however. After dealing with the mysterious middle-aged man, Fred immediately brought Rita back to the village for treatment. To his surprise, her body showed no signs of poisoning, and she had no other
Ordinary people might not have even heard of these two things, but for those from the warlord world like Stellar and Gustav, they were extremely familiar with them. These two items were precious herbs specifically used by warlords to strengthen physique and cultivate energy. While they were not exactly abundant in the warlord world, families like the Eight Great Warlord Families possessed quite a few of them.However, they could not be artificially cultivated and only be grown in the wild. Because of this, their numbers gradually reduced over time. They had practically gone extinct in the warlord world in recent years. While one might occasionally stumble upon a few in the secular world, it was mostly a matter of great luck. This was why Stellar and the rest were so astonished when Fred mentioned these two items."Is there any way to substitute them, Great One?" Stellar asked after giving it some thought."It’d be very difficult." Fred shook his head. "Dragon Blood Fruits are us
"Not going very smoothly?" A slight frown made its way to Fred’s face the moment he heard what Stellar said. Red Moon Tower was an inheritance Spencer had left for Ruth, who was his only younger sister. Now that she had been found, it was only natural that Red Moon Tower would be hers to inherit. Although Ruth was not able to actively participate in the management of Red Moon Tower due to her studies and her being under 18, she was still the rightful owner of Red Moon Tower. This was an indisputable fact. How could there be a problem with her inheritance?"What exactly happened?"Stellar quickly explained, "There were no immediate changes to the existing management of Red Moon Tower when you took control of it back then, so…”"They took Red Moon Tower without an owner for a day and started plotting?" Fred interrupted before Stellar could finish."It would seem so." Stellar nodded. "I have attempted multiple times to negotiate with them on behalf of Miss Ruth and Extraordinary G
"You two, what are you doing here?" A man who looked like he was from security appeared while accompanied by a receptionist. They blocked Fred's path and questioned, "Do you know where you are? You can't just barge in here like it's your home.""Outrageous!" Seeing this, Stellar immediately rebuked, saying, "This is Mr. Hoffman, the chairman of Extraordinary Group! He came here today for a visit!"Stellar initially thought the security guard would back down after announcing Fred’s Extraordinary Group credentials, but the man seemed to have ignored what he said as he snorted. "This is Red Moon Group, and our chairman is West Valley’s renowned Mr. Moore! I've never heard of any Extraordinary Group or Mr. Hoffman.”"Never heard of them?" Stellar said while his expression turned stern. While Fred had decided to pass Red Moon Group to Spencer's only sibling, Ruth, it was technically still under his name as a subsidiary of Extraordinary Group. After all, Ruth had not yet turned 18, no
Go ahead? Make sure there was no blood?The security guards had only wanted to throw Fred and Stellar out at first, but after hearing this, their expressions immediately turned dark.Despite being security guards at Red Moon Tower, they were not simple individuals. They followed Smith, who was Mr. Moore’s brother-in-law, and were involved in various illegal activities. They had to be more discreet in recent years due to the crackdown on crime. However, they were still used to handling problems using more forceful means.Now, facing Fred, who not only intended to fight them but also dared taunt them by telling Stellar to go easy on them, made them sneer. "Looks like this guy won’t stop until he’s looking up at the lid of his coffin. No blood? Well then, boys, let's give him a proper introduction!""Of course. It's been a long time since I've seen the color of a fool's blood!""What other color could it be? The same as someone who's not afraid of death, of course!""Not afraid
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
