"Why? Just why?"

The sun was dipping low in the sky as Fred stepped out of the Major Entertainment Company building.

He had not told Tyne about the perilous adventure that lay ahead, nor had he asked Tyne to come along.

Yet Tyne, as if sensing something, had stubbornly walked Fred out since he seemed unable to bring himself to leave.

Seelie, on the other hand, stood by the entrance, her expression a mix of hope and frustration.

She had tried to make Tyne jealous on purpose, but Tyne had not taken the bait, instead entrusting her to look after Fred.

What really threw her off was Fred's silence—he had not bothered to clear up any misunderstandings.

It felt like she, Seelie, had been the only one making a fool of herself the entire time.

Maybe it was Seelie's obvious distress that got to him, as Fred finally said, "If we can't even trust each other, what's the point of calling ourselves lovers?"

With those words, he turned and strode away.

Seelie just stood there, the word "love

    Seelie did not get to finish her thought when Fred let out a sharp cry. In the blink of an eye, they were engulfed in a thick mist.Seelie clapped a hand over her mouth in shock.She had seen this spectacle before. When the legendary Holy Emperors Howlite, Agate, and Onyx shattered the gateway to the secular world for the Ancient Warlords, it was exactly like this."Did it look like this when you arrived?"Fred caught every flicker of doubt on Seelie's face as he asked the question. "So what if it is? That doesn't mean you've got this in the bag! Remember, it took three Holy Emperors joining forces just to crack open a tiny gap when we left!" Seelie huffed, her pride stung, but Fred was already tuning her out. He took a moment to look around—at the sky, the mountains, the wildflowers—then drew in a deep breath and strode forward. Seelie, with no other option, hurried after him. They fumbled through the mist, one in front of the other, unaware that the fog was lifting and their fi

    Howls filled the air!Even without his warlord strength, Fred was slicing through the challenge of the hungry wolves with ease.In a flash, Fred took down the first wave of ravenous wolves with his tree branch effortlessly.The rest of the pack, shocked by the human's unexpected strength, hesitated before scattering like spooked deer, vanishing into the wilderness in no time."Even animals know when to cut their losses," Fred mused with a wry smile, watching the wolves retreat. He spun the branch, now slick with wolf blood, and stepped back into place.He did not toss away the makeshift weapon. Instead, he called out coolly, "You've been hiding and watching for quite a while. Isn't it about time you showed yourself?"With a rustling from the trees, the sound of someone approaching was followed by a chuckle. A man in a flowing robe emerged, grinning broadly."Wow, you're something else! Not only is your swordplay top-notch, but you even turned a simple branch into a wolf-crushing

    This was indeed the case!Varioso was immediately overjoyed when Fred agreed. He said with a smile, "My utmost pleasure to be of service, Mr. Fred. My carriage is not far ahead. I'll have someone bring it for your wife’s comfort!"With that said, Varioso promptly walked away.Fred turned to look at Seelie and said, "Why did you pretend to be Tyne?""Why not? I don’t mind."Seelie snorted with a strange look on her face and then asked, "Why did you identify yourself as Fred without using a pseudonym? Aren't you afraid that Holy Emperor Howlite will hear that you have come to the Ancient Martial Realm?""Hiding in plain sight is the best cover! If I use a pseudonym, others might test me and I might reveal myself accidentally. In that case, I might as well use my real name. Would I be the only Fred in the Ancient Martial Realm?" Fred said indifferently.Seelie knew that what Fred said was reasonable, but she still did not feel convinced. "Don't forget, your strength is greatly redu

    "Mr. Fred, this is my humble abode. Please come in with your wife and have a good rest. I'll have my servants deliver food to you later."About half an hour later…Fred and Seelie took the carriage provided by Varioso and arrived at Burke Mansion. The journey was rather bumpy all the way.Along the way, Seelie gave Fred an overview of the current situation in the Ancient Martial Realm without the need for Fred to ask her.The structure and power of the Ancient Martial Realm was very simple.It was divided into four Outer Islands and one Inner Island.The four Outer Islands were named after the four main compass directions. The East Island was under the jurisdiction of Holy Emperor Howlite; the South Island was Emperor Agate; the West Island was Lazuli, and the North Island was Onyx.The folk customs of these four outer islands were also related to the four holy emperors.For example, Holy Emperor Lazuli was a typical martial arts fanatic, so West Islanders had a strong martial

    Fred knew Seelie had been right. Varioso provided a carriage and enthusiastically took them to his home. His main goal was to recruit fighters for these Stefords.Hence, Fred asked, "And the Stefords are...""Oh! I forgot that Mr. Fred came from the West Island and doesn't know much about the Stefords!"Varioso immediately explained with a smile, "This place is called Waterway Town, like I’ve said before. The Stefords owned the largest martial arts center in Waterway Town. They have a reputation of being the center with the most powerful martial arts experts in the entire South Islands for at least three generations!”"Oh? Since the Stefords are so powerful, there should be no shortage of fighters, right?" Fred immediately asked with a smile.How could Fred, a sly fox, be fooled by Varioso?When he heard this Varioso smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh... Mr. Fred, you know how it is with families… What goes up must come down. Although the Stefords were indeed famous throughout the So

    The next day, at Steford Mansion…As agreed, Varioso brought Fred there to meet the eldest daughter of the Stefords.After a brief bow, Varioso immediately began to introduce Fred to her. "Miss Steford, this is the Mr. Hoffman that I told you about. His swordsmanship is superb. I have personally seen Mr. Hoffman single-handedly kill more than ten wild wolves using just the trees and plants in the forest mountain in place of swords. With how he drove away the entire wolf pack, he is undoubtedly a rare fighter!"Although there was no exaggeration in his words, the description of how Fred single-handedly drove the wolves away with nothing but plants and branches in the forest would surely make a positive impression on Fred. Runiya, the eldest daughter of the Stefords, was very surprised at Varioso's words. She stood up and asked, "Mr. Burke, is what you’re saying true?""Absolutely! As I just said, I saw it with my own eyes!" Varioso said immediately.Alas!At this moment, a nasty

    However, Bovies’ words were not unreasonable either.First of all, this Quintennium Challenge was very important to the Stefords. If the Stefords lost in this competition, losing control of Waterway Town would be the least of their concerns.Those who had always coveted the Stefords would think that they were no longer powerful. Outside attacks would come, overtly or covertly. "One more thing!"Now that Runiya was shaken, Bovies spoke again. "We, the Stefords, have many enemies in this competition, there is no telling what kind of shameful means those people will use. From my perspective, people with unknown backgrounds should be subjected to stricter inspection!”"Bovies, you… What do you mean?!" Varioso could not sit still anymore and immediately stood up and shouted."I mean no disrespect. Everyone is thinking of the Stefords’ best interests. This includes you too, Commander Burke!" Bovies said proudly."You… I…"Varioso's face turned red with anger. He shouted, "I brought

    Bovies sneered. He might only be the vice commander of the Stefords’ bodyguards, but he was the most powerful man guarding the Stefords. After all, everyone in Waterway Town, including the Stefords, knew that Commander Varioso was growing old. The commander might have been a great fighter before, but he was in his 40s now, and his age had crept up to him. As such, Bovies paid Fred no mind. He even looked down on him since Fred had been all talk and no bite.Bovies thought that ignorant and arrogant fools like Fred were the easiest opponents to defeat. All he had to do was agitate him and Fred’s impulsiveness would be his own demise.Seelie, who had followed Fred and Varioso here, walked over to stand beside Fred. She whispered, “Hey! Are you sure you’ve got him?“Don’t forget that you’re completely powerless right now! You’re no better than an ordinary person! Sure, not everyone in the Ancient Martial Realm is a warlord, but even ordinary people here have practiced martial art

    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 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
