Unfazed, Fred lifted his hand and swung it down again.Bang!Blood splattered everywhere!Bang!Cracks have appeared on the ground!Most of the Cadmans’ foreheads were stained with blood after three strikes. Even those who happened to have stones in front of them fell to the ground and passed out.Valerie was covered in dust and dirt at the moment as well. Her forehead was swollen. She cut a sorry figure.However, what happened just now had been so unusual that she lacked the courage to even look at Fred. So, she just let out a cold snort, tore off the mourning corsage on her body, and prepared to make her way down the mountain.Seeing this, the Cadmans all followed suit. They just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.However…“Did I allow you all to leave?”Fred spoke calmly, his question stunning the Cadmans.“We’ve worn the corsages. We’ve bowed our heads in respect. What else do you want?” Valerie immediately interjected with contempt.Fred grabbed the
Daughter?The Cadmans present were stunned when they heard the voice. They all had puzzled expressions on their faces.It was obvious that the “daughter” the voice was talking referring to was Valerie, who was now in shambles.However, was Valerie's father, Eric, not already dead?Were they not all attending Eric's funeral at this moment?Could it be that Eric’s corpse had come back to life?However, only three people seemed to not be shocked!Elmer, Valerie, and Valerie's mother, Karen!Elmer, who was the head of the Cadmans, was shocked at first when he heard the voice but then he quickly went silent. It was obvious that he understood what was going on.Both Valerie and Karen's eyes had lit up, however. Karen even grabbed Valerie and exclaimed, "He's here! Your father is finally here! As long as he’s here, everyone will have to kneel before us!”There was a myriad of reactions to what she said!“Great one…”Stellar was beyond surprised.This was because Karen’s words wer
"Lucas, did you get promoted again?"The Cadmans’ gloom had now turned into joy because of Lucas’s appearance.Karen, in particular, was a visage of arrogance, her smile almost splitting her face."Hehe, that's right!"Lucas chuckled and added, "After all these years, I finally joined the lord's personal army."The lord?The Cadmans’ curiosity was piqued when they heard this. More curious than ever, Karen asked, "Who is this lord you’re referring to? How does he compare to Apollo Fowler?""Apollo Fowler? Hehe, he’s not even worthy of touching the lord’s shoes!”Lucas was smiling proudly. "I won't disclose the lord’s identity, but what I can tell you is that he is comparable to the highest authority around!”What?The Cadmans’ eyes all widened when they heard this!!The highest authority!That meant the pinnacle of power in Somerland!The lord that Lucas mentioned was actually comparable to those at the top? Did that not make him one of the most honorable people in Somerlan
"So, he was willing to join the Azure Dragon, hm?" Fred asked with a meaningful smile.The Azure Dragon Army was a place for those who did not fear death!The Azure Dragon that followed Fred back then fought on the front lines all year round, constantly facing extremely high risks!Children of aristocratic families were mostly flowers in a greenhouse and were not willing to venture into danger. This was why Fred was musing over this.Shaun shook his head and smiled. "Ever since the Azure Dragon achieved the title of the Invincible Army, the military no longer sent them to the front lines. After what happened five years ago—when you, the Great One, went into seclusion—the Azure Dragon had become nothing but a shop-front in the war zone!""A shop-front? That explains things!"Fred smiled and said nothing else.The reason he gave up the Azure Dragon back then was because some people put too much weight on the title “Invincible” and wanted to make sure that they would stay that way!
That night at half past six.Due to the current mess with the Cadmans, Fred had been a little negligent of his adoptive parents who had gone through much trouble to relocate to Sea City.So, when he heard that Iris wanted him to join her for a meal, Fred immediately put down all the work at hand so that he could show up at the address on time, even if the whole thing was a little confusing.However, after he had arrived…“So this is what's up!”Fred was not sure whether to laugh or not when he saw Opal pushing open the door and entering.Indeed!It was Opal Santos!She was the female college student working part-time at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store that he met when he was buying a car the other day!This was obviously a trap his adoptive mother, Iris, had deliberately set up with the blind dates matchmaking service from Peach Blossom Village to Sea City!"Mr…Fred?"Opal obviously did not expect Fred to be here and was a little surprised. "Mrs. Yates said she’d be eating alone
With this in mind, their meal was, of course, no longer a simple affair.At the dinner table.Sandra would occasionally make indirect remarks such as asking to go to the bathroom together with Opal.However, these comments flew over Opal’s head. Coupled with the awkwardness from when they entered the restaurant at the beginning, Sandra never had a chance to speak to Opal alone.That was until Iris called Fred, forcing him to get up and head out momentarily.Sandra seized the opportunity. She leaned over to Opal and said, "Opal, you can’t settle for Fred!”"What? What's wrong?" Opal asked with a blank face."I’m talking about Fred!"Looking like an experienced woman, Sandra said, "As your senior, I should remind you that you must be careful when choosing a man. Forget about the plebeians. Don't fall for someone just because they bought a car and treated you to dinner! You have to consider the meal they treat you to. A high-quality man would allow the woman to choose her meal no
Chat?What did Sandra want to talk about?What else would it be but the problem between Fred and Opal?Sandra could tell from her conversation with Opal at the restaurant just now that there was no getting through to her!That girl seemed to have already fallen into the ditch and would not listen to whatever she said to her.After leaving the restaurant just now, Sandra raised her point of view again, but it still did not make Opal stop thinking about interacting with Fred.Hence, in order to prevent Opal from falling deeper and deeper, Sandra found an excuse to come back and meet with Fred.Putting on her seat belt, Sandra flashed Fred a bright smile and said, "Right, just take me to the coastal villa area south of the city. You don’t mind, do you?""Well, it’s along the way!"Fred smiled and said nothing else.That was because it was indeed along the way.The villa that Stellar bought Fred was at the center of the coastal villa area."That’s great!”Of course, Sandra had
If he wanted to pursue Opal, he at the very least must be able to buy a villa in the coastal villa area.It was obvious that Sandra did not think Fred possessed such an ability.Why would he be laughing in spite of himself at this moment otherwise?"At least you’re finally aware of yourself. Talking to you so much today has been worth it!"To be honest, Fred, you’re not that bad since you can afford to drive a Mercedes! Sadly, you’re not good enough for Opal and me! You should have realized this earlier. It’s for yours and Opal’s own good!"Sandra was satisfied at this thought and then was no longer in the mood to chat with Fred.After all, Fred and she were, in her opinion, not on the same level. Their paths were not destined to cross in the future.For someone who they had met by chance, she believed that Fred should be honored to have been able to dine with her and send her home, not to mention how she had given him the opportunity to gaze upon the most expensive coastal vill
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
