Why... Why was Jethro answering Fred's questions so obediently now? What was with him calling him 'the Great One', and why did members of Nation Six need to memorize Fred's information before joining the team?"Mr. Mensa, w-what is—”Before Captain Endish could even finish his question, however, Fred pointed at him and said to Jethro in a calm tone, "The person next to you harms patients and gains personal profit under the pretext of organ transplants. Do you know what to do?""He harms people under the pretext of organ transplants?” Captain Endish was stunned when he heard what Fred said. He immediately exclaimed, "Y-You're making baseless accusations!"Yet, Fred ignored him. His previous conversation with Dr. Ludvington was not beyond Fred's superhuman hearing despite them whispering. There was even less room for doubt for Jethro since it was the revered Great One, a presence that was comparable to those in the upper echelons of the country, who had said so.Jethro immediately
Take them away?He, Captain Endish, of the municipal bureau, was being ordered by Fred to be taken away by Jethro, the head of Nation Six's Fifth Bureau, even when he had a backer?Also, what did he mean when he said Fred was someone who was comparable to the upper echelons? This seemingly under 30 years old young man was being compared to the superiors of the nation?Dr. Ludvington was completely overwhelmed as Captain Endish was led away by members of Nation Six. He was trembling as he shifted one foot at a time toward the door. Although he still had not fully grasped the situation, he wanted to escape from the ward and away from Fred’s sight. However, a single question from the man’s mouth immediately caught everyone's attention. It kept the man from escaping. "Did I say you could leave?"He knew then that there was no escape now and quickly turned to Fred, saying, "I don't know anything about Captain Endish's matters.""Are you not going to confess of your own accord?" Fred
After all, Hunter was the pinnacle figure in the medical field. The words from a person like that could easily determine Dr. Ludvington's future. Dr. Ludvington had remained composed regarding the matter of the organ transplants despite feeling a little nervous after witnessing Captain Endish being taken away. This was because everything was just as Fred had said. A non-specialist would find it challenging to verify such issues. After all, it was hard to determine who received which transplanted organs from body donations once it was done. All Dr. Ludvington needed to say was that the prior organ transplants for the influential individuals had been coincidental. It would absolve him of most of the blame.However, with Hunter Walls, who could be considered the top figure in the medical world, and his investigation team on his trail, Dr. Ludvington was convinced that the truth would undoubtedly come to light.He immediately retorted, "I don't believe it! Hunter Walls is such a prom
The next day, the investigation team led by Hunter arrived. Not only was this the end of Dr. Ludvington’s medical career, but the man also implicated the director of South Central Hospital, who happened to be his father-in-law. In addition, he was jailed for life.Along with Dr. Ludvington, Captain Endish and his influential connection, Deputy Director Tano, found themselves accompanying him to prison.Fred did not pay much attention to these events as someone he never expected to see appeared before him the day the investigation team arrived."I'm truly surprised to see you in this state, Mr. Hoffman. It seems this pleasant surprise has caught you off guard," Hunter laughed as he observed Fred's somewhat stunned expression."I’m indeed somewhat surprised," Fred nodded slightly before turning his gaze to the young man standing beside Hunter. "Mr. Mendel, it's been a long time since we last met."The young man standing beside Hunter was none other than the legitimate successor of A
Although the only connection between them was the fact Fred had received the true Ancient Medicine teachings from Savior back then, strictly speaking, Fred knew Savior was a free spirit. He was not one to urgently seek out others unless there was an important reason.“Did something happen?" he immediately asked. Savior, however, did not immediately deign to answer Fred's question. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Hoffman, I wonder how has your practice of the Benevolence Mist been going ever since you inherited the teaching?Fred frowned slightly at his query. He knew that the Benevolence Mist was a technique that was part of the Ancient Medicine teachings. It was a way of cultivating one's body and nurturing one's energy. It was a part of the Ancient Medicine practitioners’ heritage. Even if they did not practice martial arts, they could still use techniques such as Breath Needling, which was part of martial arts, in their medical practices.Fred had attempted to cultivate Benevolence M
A matter that could impact the entire world? Fred immediately frowned at that. Not only because Savior had revealed him to be the King of Humanity but also because of his claim of such a grave matter. Fred could tell that Savior was not someone to throw words around lightly. However, the assertion of a matter that could affect the entire world was significant.Seemingly noticing Fred's concerns, Savior got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Hoffman, given that you're the King of Humanity, does that mean you were responsible for the major conflict in South Carlos?""South Carlos?" Fred's brows furrowed even more. "Are you talking about the mysterious man who schemed against the Mystic Kingpin?""It was indeed you, then," Savior confirmed after hearing Fred's response. He breathed a sigh of relief. Savior had truly been trying to verify Fred’s identity as the King of Humanity through imparting the Ancient Medicine teachings and confirming Fred's inability to conjure Benevolen
A world where ancient warlords saw themselves as deities and considered ordinary people as ants, treating them like mere livestock and enslaving them, was a terrifying reality. "How did things develop afterward?" Fred asked, taking a deep breath. "Since the world wasn’t subjugated and ancient warlords have vanished, I assume something must have changed, right? "Earlier, you mentioned that contemporary warlords and ancient warlords are in opposition. Is the change related to warlords?”"That's right." Savior nodded slightly. "The King of Humanity is humanity’s destiny bestowed upon the people. The king is not just the sovereign of the people but also the guardian of the world. "The kings of old caught wind of the ambitions of these ancient warlords and used their power to transform a portion of extraordinarily capable ordinary people into contemporary warlords to fight against them."I believe you can already guess the end. The contemporary warlords emerged victorious, while the
The ancient warlords were sealed within the Ancient Martial Realm by the old King of Humanity. Contemporary warlords, on the other hand, were established by the old King of Humanity as a counterforce against the ancient warlords. The seal on the Ancient Martial Realm was weakening. The information that Savior had revealed to Fred was not easy to digest in such a short amount of time.However, Fred soon put aside these thoughts and looked at Savior. "Mr. Mendel, why do you know so much about this?”"I knew you’d ask me that." Savior smiled. "You recall what I said earlier about the Benevolence Mist mentioned in the Ancient Medicine teachings deriving from the King of Humanity’s aura, yes? "In fact, the Ancient Medicine teachings were passed down through the descendants of the old King of Humanity. Knowledge of it has also been passed down through a single lineage, and it has continued that way until me. "However, I wasn’t able to confirm your status as the King of Humanity durin
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
