Not only did he not beat him, but he even depleted his stamina! Gorge was truly helpless now. He had no choice but to surrender. "I'm sorry! I was wrong!" He had never encountered a man like Fred in his entire life. There was no way to deal with him!Fred glanced at him, finding the situation amusing. He smiled and asked, "Wrong? Where did you go wrong?""I shouldn't have caused trouble on your turf. I won’t ever do that again!" Gorge admitted defeat since he could not beat Fred."Alright, as long as you know you're wrong. I won't blame you too much. Anyway, it's not entirely your fault." Fred nodded in agreement.He thought back for a moment and said seriously, "You should still give me what should be given to me, though. Don't forget about that."With that said, Gorge could only take out the box of gold and give it to Fred. This was his carry-on luggage. It was a relatively simple one. Fred took the box of gold. Although not very large, it was still a considerable gain. He was
"My affairs." Horace felt a bit puzzled by Fred's words and sensed that there might be more to them. Could Fred be dissatisfied with him in some way, which led to this situation?Horace was quite scared. He noticed Fred's expression had turned somewhat unpleasant as if he had become displeased with him. This made him more certain that he had done something wrong.How could this be possible, though? What man did not like women? Or was Fred simply not interested in women, thus the expression? If that were the case, then he messed up. From a while ago until now, it felt like he was being choked."My brother, spare me! I really didn't know that you don't like women!" That was all Horace could say at this point.Fred subconsciously paused, the statement leaving him feeling confused. He scratched his head in a puzzled manner and asked, “Did you misunderstand something?""No! Please, Fred, you're a mighty person. Spare my dad!" Through the recent confrontation, it was almost certain th
If it were a woman showing such an expression toward him, Fred would feel indifferent. Since it came from a man, however, it gave Fred goosebumps.He did not know why Nohn would act this way and found it strange."Why are you behaving like this?" Fred asked."I'll be honest with you, Fred. I don't know when it started, but I've developed some feelings for you," Nohn confessed.Fred could accept many things, but this revelation was beyond his acceptance. He could not believe what he was hearing, and his expression revealed his disbelief.Scratching his head, Fred curiously asked, "You like me? Why?""Because I find you particularly interesting. So, my interest in you is high. I hope you'll pay me some attention,” Nohn said while staring back at the man. Fred quickly shook his head and said, "You'd better not fall in love with me. You'll get hurt, and it won't be good for you at all.""Huh? Why?" Suddenly, Nohn felt like things were taking a strange turn. In his mind, Fred's kin
Forget the Ancient Martial Realm, such a concept would be difficult to accept even during modern times. Horace initially thought Fred would start giving a lengthy speech, but he quickly realized he was wrong. Fred approached the Unscrupulous Priest's ear and said softly, "I don't like men!"Clear and straightforward!The Unscrupulous Priest looked even more bewildered."Alright then!" Fred did not want to dwell on this topic; it was pointless. "Now, let's announce to everyone."Since he was taking over, everyone needed to know that the new owner of this place would be Fred.With an air of pride, Fred signaled to Horace that it was time. Horace called everyone over.Although Horace was now Fred’s follower, it did not diminish his influence. He had, after all, always been the sect leader of a super sect. His prominent title attracted the respect of everyone he met. Everyone was unaware of what had happened, except for the madame who witnessed it.Horace solemnly announced, "Ev
Fred continued, "Alright, I won't interfere too much with whatever you're doing. As long as you be and listen, we won't have any problems.""Exactly!" Horace immediately understood where Fred was getting at and continued, "You guys can continue as you were. I'm just introducing you to the new owner."Fred was satisfied with what Horace said and realized he was quite good with his words. Having someone who could speak well could ease his concerns."You did quite well, Horace." Fred could not help but compliment him.The praise left Horace feeling happy. He smiled and said, "My brother, if you have any tasks in the future, feel free to assign them to me!""Master Fred," called out the woman who had been watching him, catching him off guard. He looked at her."Don't call me that. Just call me Fred. There's no need for formalities with me," Fred said.Fred's gaze shifted when he suddenly thought of something. "By the way, there are some things I want you to tell me."The woman was
Fred could not tell what she was thinking. He just watched as she got more agitated as if she had encountered some injustice. “Master Fred!” Hearing that address again, Fred could not stand it anymore and immediately ordered, “Stop talking to me like that or I'll leave!” Marciella had no care when it came to other things, but she could immediately tell that Fred was angry with her now. He was even saying he was going to ignore her. Now that it came to this, she said quickly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please don't ignore me, okay?"Fred rolled his eyes and said seriously, "Alright, seeing you like this makes me a little happy! At least you can understand how important I am to you." "I can't argue with you!”Marciella merely nodded at Fred's words. At this moment, she asked, “Can I call you Sir Fred, then?”Fred nodded. “That's fine.” At that, Marciella continued, “Actually, I have a heartless request. But I think you're the only person who can help me with that.”
How could Fred not praise her dedication to her family? “Marciella, let's go.”Marciella had been somewhat worried at first that she would be disliked when her family's situation was revealed. She had expected mockery, not even pity. It was the kind of reaction one would normally get from society. Yet, Fred heard about it and expressed sympathy for her situation. He was truly a great person. Marciella liked him even more.Could she be falling in love? “Yes, Sir Fred!” Fred did not intend to bring Horace and the rest with him. He would leave them behind and promptly inform them of any advancement in the situation.With that, the two left. When they reached their destination, Fred found himself a little taken aback by the relatively backward village. His first impression of it was that it was in too poor of a condition. There were only a few decent spots in the village after he went around. Each of the houses was made of thatched grass. He did not have a good impression of
The situation left Fred speechless. After Marciella sorted out her thoughts, she said, “Actually, the situation I'm talking about has to do with this person who came to the village. I have no idea where she came from, but you could call her a witch.” “Witch?” Fred repeated, somewhat puzzled. Witches were part of a bad tradition that had been left behind for a long time, so Fred had no idea how to deal with this situation. "What did that witch do?" he asked.Marciella immediately replied, “That witch did something I can never forgive.”“Something unforgivable?” “Yes. She had probably appeared before, but I forgot when it was specifically. But there's no way I can ever let her go for what she did. "Our village happened to be in the middle of a drought at that time, and it was because of this that people were struggling. I tried to think of a solution so that we could get through it.“It was then we thought of something. Someone suggested we look for the witch to get he
