Who would not want to win the five-year competition? Winning would, after all, grant one control over Waterway Town. It meant obtaining endless wealth and resources. The other three families had been on equal footing with the Nile family in the past.

The difference only emerged because the three families had all achieved victories since then. Thus, there was now a gap between them and the Nile family.

Despite his initial excitement, Hector quickly regained his composure and looked at Fred. "Mr. Hoffman, can I understand that you joining the Niles means that you’ll be representing us in the five-year competition to ensure our victory?

"I know you must be a formidable fighter to have been able to walk out of the Steford family safely, but is that enough to guarantee our victory in the five-year competition?"

Fred chuckled. "You may test me using the methods the Steford family used."

"The Stefords? What did they do?" Hector asked in confusion.

"They had over 50 guards, plus a pers

    Unable to comprehend the situation, Hector found himself in disbelief that Fred had claimed victory with just one move. Howard also openly admitted that even ten of him would not be Fred's match. This left Hector utterly bewildered. If it were not for Howard's many years of service with the Nile family and the deep trust he had earned from him, Hector might have suspected collusion between Howard and Fred. Howard was well aware of how absurd it must have looked to Hector when he conceded with just one move, but he knew his own situation best. Even though Fred had only executed one move, the way Fred had effortlessly countered his attack with a simple gesture and identified his vulnerabilities with a glance was enough to show that Fred had deliberately held back. He could not choose to just ignore reality in such a situation. He immediately bowed to Hector. "Master, Mr. Hoffman’s strength is unprecedented in my experience! I'm afraid no one in Waterway Town is a match for him.

    Seelie, who was sitting beside Fred, sensed Hector's concerns clearly. People were like that. If one asked for too much, they would be thought of as greedy. However, if one asked for too little, they would be suspected of having ulterior motives. Seelie immediately spoke up, "Since he’s not going to say it, then allow me. I want elegant clothes and exquisite food! No repeats every day! If I’m not satisfied, then I won't let him participate in the five-year competition!"Sure enough, with just that, Hector finally smiled with satisfaction. "No problem! Those requests are, of course, acceptable, Mrs. Hoffman. With a great fighter like Mr. Hoffman joining the Nile family, these things are only right! "Mrs. Hoffman, rest assured. You'll get your elegant clothes and exquisite food. I guarantee there'll be no repeats!"Hector then turned to Howard and said, "Mr. Howard, I’d like to trouble you to run an errand for me. As I recall, the mansion on West Street has been vacant all this tim

    Bovies' senior from his family?Runiya's brows furrowed slightly when she heard that. Even though Bovies was powerful, he had not been with the Steford family for long. Logically speaking, he should not have been able to attain the position of vice commander of the Steford family's guards.However, he had even surpassed Varioso, who was the commander, at one point.The reason Runiya allowed this and let Bovies' influence expand was because the family that backed Bovies was the Buckner family, an Ancient Warlord lineage.The Buckner family was started by Bernard Buckner, a powerful Ancient Warlord in servitude to Holy Emperor Agate. However, Bernard's only son, Brandon, turned out to be a complete martial arts failure. In his helplessness, Bernard had no choice but to send his son down to an ordinary town and be among the ordinary people.Despite this, Brandon was not someone anyone dared to easily offend seeing that he was Bernard's direct descendant. Brandon eventually establis

    After moving into the West Street mansion as per Hector’s arrangement, Fred and Seelie isolated themselves. They rarely ever left their rooms. Fred focused on his recovery and hardly ventured outside, while Seelie was enjoying a variety of luxurious goods as promised to her by Hector. When Seelie was trying on the new clothes the Nile family had sent her today, her expression suddenly froze. She immediately dropped the clothes and hurried to Fred's room.She had sensed the air in the mansion turning oppressive. It was flowing toward the direction where Fred was.The moment Seelie arrived at the room, the long-sealed door slowly opened. Fred was seated inside."You... You recovered so quickly?" Seelie asked in utter amazement when she felt the heavy pressure and aura emanating from Fred.Marshal and Gregory had taken two to three months to recover from their injuries after they entered the secular world. However, it had been just three days since Fred and Seelie entered the Ancien

    A tenth of his strength was enough for him to defeat Marshal and Gregory with just a hand?For a moment, Seelie was stunned.After crossing over to the secular world and experiencing everything that came after, Seelie now fully recognized Fred's strength. He was formidable and truly extraordinary.He was undoubtedly worthy of the title of the living legend!Like most people, however, Seelie had not expected Fred to be this powerful. A tenth of his strength was enough for him to defeat Marshal and Gregory with just a hand! He was not just powerful, he was transcendent! Maybe even perverse.She did not think that Fred was lying. They were currently working together. They were essentially in the same boat. There was no reason for Fred to deceive her at this point.Just when she was considering the possible deceit, however, Seelie suddenly noticed Fred looking at her with an expression of intrigue. This made her feel a bit uneasy. She grumbled, "What are you looking at? I... I disgui

    Fred had finally regained a sliver of his former power, which was more than enough for him to easily detect who was approaching from outside.With a casual tone, Fred said, "Howard, you seem to be in quite a rush!"With a flick of his sleeve, the grand entrance swung open and Howard burst in, nearly tripping over his feet in his surprise."Mr...Mr. Hoffman, you... you're out of your retreat?"Howard had visited the West Street Mansion more times than he could count, but ever since Fred had taken up residence, he had been in deep isolation. Howard had come to view Fred as a dedicated hermit, whose remarkable abilities were the result of intense and solitary training.This impression had even led Howard to do some serious soul-searching after his previous visits.Now, seeing Fred emerge, Howard's respect for him was greater than ever.Fred, noticing the admiration, offered a small smile. "I've had a breakthrough, so my retreat is over. And isn't the Quintennium Challenge just arou

    The Stefords roped in a dude named Bartolomew for backup?He took down a Nile family member who was almost as strong as Howard?Fred's brow creased a touch as he listened to Hector's rundown.Just how strong was Howard?Fred rarely put numbers to a person—but if one had to draw a parallel, the man could be compared to the Prince of San Hanna, a big shot in the regular world.Make no mistake—the Prince still got banged up pretty badly later on and was not much help to Fred.That was because Fred rolled deep with a crew of warlords!These were the kind of people who would make an average person look like they were moving in slow motion!Next to Fred's squad, the Prince might not seem like much, but if he was put in a group of everyday brawlers, he would be king of the hill!That was the scoop on how the Prince was the top dog in San Hanna for ages, even sparking whispers that could unnerve someone just by dropping his name.Howard, the man Fred assumed could hold a candle to th

    Hearing Fred's words, Hector smacked his thigh and privately wanted to kick himself. He had been riding high on Fred's support, so confident he would clinch the Quintennium Challenge that he had let it go to his head.The Nile family had always been the underdog, while the real showdown had always been between the Stefords and the big shots—the Ciels and the Tohils!Those two must be feeling the heat way more than the Niles!So, without missing a beat, Hector eased into a grin and reclaimed his seat at the head of the table, chuckling. "Mr. Hoffman, you've got some sharp insight!""Just a case of the Nile family head being too close to the forest to see the trees!" Fred dismissed the remark with a casual wave of his hand. "Anyway, it doesn't really matter what kind of power this Bartolomew guy the Stefords roped in has, or whether he's some kind of Ancient Warlord legend. It's all talk for now. But come tomorrow's Quintennium Challenge, we'll see the truth!"With that, Fred rose t

    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

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
