In this age of technology, news of what happened spread like wildfire.Not to mention that everyone in Sea City… and even Jardin Province knew about this banquet the Cadmans had hosted for the wealthy.The Cadmans had told the world that they found themselves a powerful figure on their side and they would flourish.38 powerful figures of Jardin Province’s commercial circle had gathered at the Cadmans’ banquet.Yet, not long after news of this banquet spread came news of the Cadmans being chased out of their residence and the 38 powerful businessmen fleeing from the scene. Everyone was shocked.They began to wonder just who would be powerful enough to drive such terror into the Cadmans and their guests.After all, this person managed to chase the Cadmans out after they had begun to prosper and flourish again.Immediately, powers of different sizes began to warn their subordinates and families to stay home and be cautious of who they offended, lest they offended the wrong man and
“Who are you?”Fred did not react outwardly to the threat and asked coolly.“Come out and see for yourself. I’m on your right.”Fred walked out of the ward.Then, he saw two bald men sitting on a bench at the end of the corridor, smirks hanging from their unkind expressions.One of them was rather chubby and had tattoo sleeves on both arms. The other was on the phone while he tinkered with a dagger in his other hand. His gaze promised to carry on with his threat.Evidently, this was the man who spoke over the phone.“Leave now and I can pretend you were never here, brat! Or my little dagger will just have to add a few slits to your body!” The chubby man threatened when he realized that Fred was looking at him.Click. Fred did not offer them any response as he ended the call and returned to the ward.The chubby man tossed his phone and cursed, “Motherf*cker! Don’t say I didn’t give you the chance to leave! Let’s go!”Then, with the chubby and tattooed man in the lead, the ot
“Whose orders and why?”Fred asked calmly.Both of them hesitated.Fred frowned slightly. “I hate it when people stammer and stutter. Tell me everything you know, and whoever says more gets to leave first.”Beside him, Shaun scoffed.Both of them were stunned for a moment before they started fighting each other for a chance to tell everything they knew. Apparently, Peter had come to Sea City to look for someone. However, instead of finding the man in question, he found his ex-wife who had long remarried a different man. These men’s boss was the renowned gang leader, Cyclops.After shooing Peter, Cyclops sent the two of them to corner him last night and beat him up.Had it not been for Fred, Peter would have died on the streets last night.“S-Sir! I swear that’s what happened! W-We’re just following orders, I-I swear…”The chubby man looked at Fred joyfully once he said everything, thinking that Fred was about to let him go. However, when he looked up, he felt his heart grow
“Nice one, Cyclops! He just bought an estate worth five million on a whim! He didn’t even think twice!” “Right? Among us all, Cyclops has been his best life! He’s got money, a pretty wife, a good sum of lackeys, and a lot of properties! How I envy him!”“Not only that! But everyone here has heard his name! Seriously, even my men tell me all the time about how well Cyclops treats his men. You have no idea how scared I am that they’ll all leave me for Cyclops one day!”In a villa in the inner ring in the south of the city.Cyclops was currently celebrating his new move, and renowned underground figures had all gathered around the bar table to toast and praise Cyclops.Of course, most of them knew that they did not mean a single word they said.After all, Cyclops was still a nobody a few years ago.However, Cyclops had a turning point in life when he started a relationship with a married woman, Lara Cox. Now, the two were married and Cyclops had gotten even wealthier.He was extr
Cyclops could not answer her as he was busy panting and coughing blood out.Everyone turned to look at Fred again. They were all gang members and well-versed when it came to physical fights.For Cyclops to suddenly double over, all of them knew immediately that it was because of how much force Fred had put into that kick.Still… Just how hard did one have to kick to have their opponent coughing blood?Fred did not show any sign of wanting to explain as he stepped forward and asked Lara calmly. “Lara Cox?”“W-What do you want?”Lara looked frantic, and her makeup was mussed up. However, Fred’s next question had her paling instantly.He asked, “Do you remember Isaiah?”Both Lara and Cyclops shuddered as they looked at Fred. “W-Who are you?”“Looks like you do.”Fred turned to the crowd and said, “There are a few things I have to resolve here. All of you are free to leave first.”Everyone’s excited and gossipy expressions fell. They might not know what had happened between
O-one punch?One punch was all it took to embed him into the wall?This was no human being! This was a T-rex in the shape of a man!After hearing what Fred said and taking a look at Shaun who stood beside him, all those notorious gang leaders fell silent.Cyclops looked terrified.“I’ll leave! I’ll leave right now!”Sometime later, someone suddenly shouted in terror and fled toward the door.The others immediately followed as well, only to see the first man fleeing get slapped before he could even get to the door. Stellar had already been waiting for them there.“The Great One let you leave just now, but you declined. So why are all of you leaving now? Did you not hear what the Great One said?” Stellar scoffed.Everyone paled but did not dare to move again.As for Fred, the man did not pay them any attention at all. Instead, he dragged over a chair and sat in front of Cyclops and Lara. He took a look around the lavish interior decorations and said coolly, “A housewarming part
After some thought, Cyclops harrumphed. “Who are you? And who are you to care about what I did? I’m telling you, I might have lost to you today, but you’d better not go too far or else…”“You won’t have to opportunity,” Fred interrupted.Cyclops’ expression changed drastically.He initially believed that Fred had come to avenge Isaiah.He did not think Fred would be coming for his life, yet… it seemed like that was what Fred was implying.Cyclops rambled frantically. “Y-You wouldn’t dare! I work for the prince of San Hanna! You’d better think twice before you hurt me!”‘The prince?’Everyone was in an uproar.None of them had expected Cyclops to have such an identity.“Cyclops works for the Prince? T-That identity is what made him so powerful, then!”“His Highness, Prince Ryes! That man dabbles in both legal and illegal businesses! He has powerful contacts in both legal and illegal industries in San Hanna, and his influence is said to cover the entirety of Jardin Province!”
“What? Fred killed one of His Highness’ men?”In a detached commercial building under Cadman Group.Lucas looked at Elmer with shock.“I’m fairly certain.”Elmer nodded. “Word has spread like wildfire among gangs, and while none of them had a name, there’s no doubt that Fred is behind it.”“How bold!”To kill a person might be something shocking among ordinary people, but Lucas was unfazed.The reason why he called Fred bold was that this three-day agreement was about to come to an end. Instead of staying in Fantastic Group and thinking of a solution, Fred had gone to kill one of His Highness’ men.He had completely disregarded Lucas’ threat.However, all Lucas could do was hate Fred as he had not come up with a good plan yet.Firstly, the four personal guards he brought with him were all injured and rendered invalid by Shaun and the other three that day.Secondly, Lucas did not have the support of the police or military persons here in Sea City.Most importantly, Lucas’ so
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
