“Fred!”

“F-Fred?”

Alan was just talking about Fred when the man appeared at the doors of Graham Group Tower.

Alan’s cold expression was immediately filled with ferocity.

Unlike Alan, Three’s voice had a sliver of fear.

Not that it was his fault, though.

Anyone who saw Fred make his opponent fly a few dozen meters away with just a slap would be as wary as Three was now.

The man that barged into the room to announce the news was also there when Three brought his men to surround Fred, and he looked afraid as well.

Then, Three’s complexion paled even further as he saw Alan turn to look at him.

“The Grahams family do not accept wimps.”

Alan looked at Three and continued speaking in an icy tone. “I can ignore your blunder before, but now that the brat has decided to appear at my office building, you will cripple him no matter the costs! Or else…”

“I…”

Three knew what Alan was implying.

If he did not manage to cripple Fred today, there would be no place for him among the Graham family again.

Considering how powerful the Grahams are in Sea City, being kicked out by the Grahams also meant being kicked out of Sea City.

So with this in mind, Three gathered his courage and nodded.

Alan harrumphed. “How dare you harm my son, brat! I’m going to make you regret ever coming to the world!”

“Looks like the Grahams have been doing well these years.”

At the entrance to Graham Group Tower.

Fred stood with a small smile and looked up at the tall building that seemed to shoot up to the sky. Beside him, though, Stellar scoffed. “They really have, but it’s obvious they’ve taken this business and treated it as if it’s their own!”

“And you did not think this would happen when you had them manage it?” Fred asked with a smile.

“There was no need!” Stellar replied arrogantly. “Who in the world would dare to take the Great One’s businesses as their own?”

“Haha…”

Fred did not say anything more and walked toward the entrance.

“Fred Hoffman? What is he doing here?”

Just then, a man not too far away who was also walking toward the tower entrance exclaimed.

“You know him, Jeff?” The lady beside him asked curiously.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I?”

Jeffery, who she called Jeff, smiled mockingly. “Everyone in Sea City knows him. He’s the pathetic wimp that married into the Cadman family!”

Valerie was known as the most beautiful woman in Sea City. So naturally, Jeffery used to be one of her suitors as well.

However, Jeffery could not be compared to other suitors like Mr. Graham and Yousef, who were from much wealthier and more powerful families.

This was why Jeffery envied and hated Fred, the good-for-nothing wimp who was lucky enough to have Valerie as his wife.

People like Jeffery were mainly the reason why all of Sea City knew that Fred was a wimp over the past five years—they were the ones who spread the word.

After mocking Fred, Jeffery found himself curious.

He wanted to know why a wimp like Fred would dare to confidently show himself in Graham Group Tower.

‘There’s no way Fred doesn’t know Mr. Grahams likes Valerie.

‘Or is Valerie in Graham Group Tower right now? Is that why Fred is here? To look for her?

‘If that’s the case, then we have a big show to watch!’

With this in mind, Jeffery immediately tugged his companion over and smiled as if he had met an old friend. “Oh! Fred! What a coincidence. What are you doing here?”

“Great…”

Stellar’s gaze turned icy when he saw Jeffery.

Jeffery might think that he spoke softly just now, but Stellar had heard him clearly.

Fred glanced over and halted Stellar, before replying calmly, “I’m looking for someone. They owe me money.”

‘Looking for someone? Who owes him money?’

The mockery on Jeffery’s expression grew. Evidently, he interpreted Fred’s response as looking for his wife Valerie. This meant that Valerie was indeed within Graham Group Tower.

The money part was even easier for Jeffery to interpret. He assumed that Valerie had spent the night with Mr. Graham, and therefore Fred was here to receive financial compensation.

“Oh, Fred! You truly are a different breed!”

Jeffery’s disgusting thoughts could be easily read from his expression, but he did not say them aloud. Instead, he smiled proudly. “Well, I only received a notice to work for the Graham Group today. So unlike you, I’m going to have to work if I want their money!”

Jeffery was boasting about the fact that he was employed by the Graham Group, and was therefore part of the Graham family at large.

At the same time, he was also insinuating that Fred was pathetic enough to sell his wife for money.

“How dare you!” Stellar shouted, no longer able to hold himself back.

The Great One was not any man Jeffery could insult!

Stellar did not step in when the Cadmans insulted Fred since their relationship was rather complicated, but Jeffery was just an insignificant employee. How dare this man insult Fred as well?

Jeffery was unfazed by Stellar and he chuckled. “Well, aren’t you loud? Did you employ someone to shout at them if they didn’t give you money, Fred? Interesting! Very interesting!”

“F*ck you!”

Stellar clenched his fist at Jeffery’s insolence. He was itching to punch the man across the face.

Just then, a loud shout echoed through the first floor of Graham Group Tower.

“Fred!”

The main doors opened and a group of people rushed out. Leading the group was Mr. Graham’s father, the head of the Graham family, Alan Graham.

Behind him were a few dozen men led by Three.

“You’ve deceived us all, you brat!”

Alan initially suspected that Fred had employed someone to target his son. However, after learning that not only could Fred walk on his own, but was also a good fighter, Alan began to suspect that Fred himself was the one who put his son in a coma.

Now that Fred was standing in front of him, Alan’s expression turned ferocious and wretched. “But no matter how foolproof your facade is, you are nothing in comparison to the Graham family!”

With that, Alan turned to Three and huffed. “What are you doing? Attack him!”

No one moved.

Alan’s expression darkened as he turned to shout at Three who did not follow his prior instructions. “I told you to attack him! Why are you still standing here? Do you not want your job anymore?”

“N-No, Sir!”

Three’s complexion was pale and he shook his head as he stared ahead of him.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Alan was about to shout again.

However, Three interrupted him as he exclaimed, “B-But why is Mr. Walker standing next to Fred?”

    ‘Mr. Walker?‘Which Mr. Walker?’   Alan frowned at Three’s sudden exclamation, but when he turned to look in the direction Three was staring at…   “M-M-Mr. Walker!”   As the head of the Grahams who was selected by Fantastic Group to manage their businesses in Sea City, Alan knew that Stellar was the person in charge of the Sea City region.  As Alan’s focus had been on Fred ever since he walked out of the building, Alan did not realize that Stellar was present as well. Now that he saw him, the wretched expression he wore vanished immediately and was replaced with a flattering smile. He rushed over to Stellar’s side and asked, “So… Mr. Walker, w-what brings you here? I’m terribly sorry for what happened just now. I was too focused on dealing with a little wimp, you see! My sincere apologies for making you wait!”   Alan did not have the energy to care about Fred anymore as he tried to usher Stellar toward the building respectfully.   Stellar’s expression remained calm, and he

    “No!”  Suddenly, Alan roared and interrupted the discussions that were going around.   Gone was his shocked expression. Now in its place were red-rimmed eyes and a fierce gaze as he turned to Fred and Stellar. “No longer manage? Do you think you can just take what belongs to the Grahams anytime you want to?  “I’m telling you right now that things are different! The Grahams family is much stronger than we were five years ago! Our roots are strong here in Sea City, and those properties you gave us belong to us now! Without my approval, you’ll never get them back!”  Then, Alan turned to look at Fred, whose expression had been calm the entire time. Icily, Alan continued, “I never expected that you’d be Fantastic Group’s Great One! But in my eyes, you’ll always be a good-for-nothing wimp! You can keep dreaming if you think you can suddenly go from a wimp to the owner of the Graham family!”“Alan Graham, are you trying to rebel?” Stellar shouted.   “Rebel? Hah! I’m going to do mor

    “It’s over for the Grahams!” Gossip had always spread like wildfire, and within Sea City’s upper class, most news just could not stay hidden.Merely one hour after the fiasco in Graham Group Tower, news of it as well as of Alan, the head of the Grahams family, falling to the floor in despair had spread to the Hanks villa all the way on the other end of Sea City.Neville, Yousef’s father, the head of the Hanks family, and the chairman of Hanks Group, was notified at the same time.“Already? Fantastic Group?” Yousef was rushing home when he heard his father and asked in surprise, “D-Does this have anything to do with that wimp?”“I don’t know!”Neville shook his head, but his eyes narrowed slowly. “But this is a matter of our family’s future. We must prepare accordingly and make haste!”‘The family’s future!’Those three words gave Yousef immense pressure. The Grahams had met their end too quickly, and Yousef had yet to get his head around it.His father, Neville, might not

    West of Sea City was a small rural village, known as Peach Blossom Village.Stellar stared at the bustling village in confusion.Initially, he believed that the reason Fred disappeared for five years was because of something else. Never would he have thought that this village would be the reason why.Confusion filled Stellar’s mind, but it only lasted for a second.Fred explained calmly, “This is where the Yates live now!”‘The Yates?‘The family that adopted Fred?’Instantly, Stellar pieced the puzzles together.‘That’s right!‘A living legend and the ruler of the world would never disappear just because of something like that!‘Familial piety is the only reason that makes sense.’After what happened back then, those people must have redirected their focus to Fred’s family once they realized they could not do anything about Fred. Therefore, the Cadmans must have played a part in the Yates enjoying their peace now. That explained why someone like Fred would be willing to liv

    “Mom, is something happening at home today?”Considering who Fred was, the man could easily hear the whispers among the other villagers.A sight frown donned Iris’ pleased expression when she heard Fred’s question. “I-It’s not a big deal, really… It’s just, well, she’s home today too!”‘She?’Fred suddenly smiled.After the Yates adopted him, they had given birth to a daughter who they named Wanda.As of today, Wanda should be in university making the most of her youth.Fred chuckled happily. “No wonder you said we’ve got two things to celebrate today. Looks like both your son and your daughter came back to visit you at the same time!”“W-Well yes… b-but…”Iris stammered for a bit as if hesitating whether she should explain, only to relent in the end. “But she’s back with her boyfriend!”“Her boyfriend? That’s great news!”Fred did not quite understand. When Fred and Valerie got married, Valerie was very unwilling. In the end, it was only at the old Mr. Cadman’s insistence

    Fred immediately greeted.This was enough to trigger Midhaa’s tears as he patted Fred on the back repeatedly. “Good! Very good! It’s nice to have you back, punk! Don’t just stand there. Come in and sit!”“A-Are you alright, Philip?”A voice interrupted the heartwarming scene.They turned to look at the table where a young lady had turned toward the young man beside her worriedly. With a piece of tissue, she was trying to wipe dry the splatters of tea from the dropped teapot.There was nothing wrong with her action alone, but what the man said next thickened the tension in the air.“How could I be alright? This suit is Armani, and a limited edition one too! How can you be so careless?” the young man complained.Midhaa’s expression turned sour.Most future sons-in-law tried their best to be in the favor of their girlfriend’s parents. Yet today, Midhaa had been the one serving this young man only to be called careless.There was no way Midhaa could accept this with a smile.Iris

    ‘That ‘Fred’?‘Which Fred?’Both Midhaa and Iris frowned. They could tell that there was something deeper to this when they heard Philip’s question.Wanda’s expression changed as she looked over as well, afraid that he would say something wrong. Not that Wanda knew exactly what ‘something wrong’ entailed, but her heart thumped in her chest anyway.“And you are…?”Fred looked at Philip calmly and asked.That calm gaze angered Philip.After all, how dare someone dressed in something one could buy from street stalls for less than 20 bucks look at him like that?! Did Fred not hear that he was wearing a limited edition Armani suit?Still, Wanda introduced them. “This is my boyfriend, Philip, the eldest son of the Cohen family, who are the owners of Farseas Group. Philip, this… is my brother, Fred!”Wanda even glanced at Fred when she brought up Farseas Group just to see how her brother would react.After all, it was a huge deal for a small village like Peach Blossom Village to hos

    Fred replied calmly.What work could Fred be doing when he had married into the Cadmans as their crippled son-in-law?The contempt in Philip’s gaze grew when he heard this.Fred was exactly as he had described just now, a useless piece of trash with no job! “Then, what major did you take in university?” Philip asked again.“I didn’t go to university,” Fred replied.“You should at least know how to use designing or coding software, right?” “I’ve never used them before…”‘He’s a piece of trash! Utterly so!’After a few questions, Philip’s final evaluation of Fred was that the latter was a useless piece of trash.Philip then spoke in an exaggerated troubled tone. “Oh, my! This is going to be difficult, then. I can’t get you a nice job if you don’t know how to do anything!”Iris’ expression fell from hopeful to despair when she heard Philip. She even began to scorn herself for telling Fred that they only had enough money to send one of them to university.Had she not told him

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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
