“You… You f*cking b*stard!!! Who are you to do that to my father?” Gustav completely changed and began to curse at Fred when he said that.Well, it was not his fault.He thought that Fred would be begging for mercy after revealing that he was part of the Hansen family, but instead, Fred said that he made his father cry for mercy.How could Gustav not get angry after that?Fred looked at Gustav as he shook his head and laughed, “Why is it that no one believes you when you tell the truth these days?”Stellar was also trying to hold in his laughter.The more powerful one is, the more susceptible they are to danger.When Fred was just a fledgling, the family of warlords was a stumbling block. So, Fred destroyed all eight families, including the Vaughn and the Hansen family, and made them all surrender.At that time, Gustav’s father, Gustavo was crying for mercy after being beaten into a pulp.After laughing, Stellar found it strange that Gustav was not aware of what happened as an
A single finger?He… actually defeated the mighty Gustav with just one finger?For a moment, Jean and the other members of the inspection team were at a loss for words. Even Myra, who had been standing at the back the entire time, looked shocked.Rumble!With the sound of concrete falling, Gustav slowly got up.Everyone immediately looked over, and all they saw was Gustav in dire straits. However, he could still stand up, so he should be fine.“Gustav…”Jean hurried over there to help him up, but Gustav waved his hand and looked at Fred with wavering eyes. “I didn’t know you were this strong… I was wrong!”“So…” Fred asked with a smirk.So?Gustav looked awful, and the debris on his body fell to the ground as he stepped forward.Jean quickly took a step back after seeing Gustav, and exclaimed, “Gustav is about to bring out the big guns!”“Big guns? Jean, are you sure?” Asked a member of the inspection team.“Of course, I’m sure! You’ve never seen Gustav’s powers, but I hav
The revered Great One!It was actually the revered Great One!At this moment, Gustav's heart was in turmoil, like a raging storm.After all, these three simple words, ‘revered Great One’, were like thunder in the world of warlords, known and respected by everyone!It was because these three words represented only one person.He was the living legend, the pinnacle of the world, the invincible revered Great One, Fred Hoffman!In just a moment, Gustav, who had just acted indifferently to his surrender, showed a respectful look on his face and solemnly knelt down.“I, Gustav Hansen, the illegitimate child of the Hansens, offer his salutations to the revered Great One.”Each word was loud and respectful, like a pilgrimage.“Illegitimate child?” Fred raised his eyebrows when he heard this.Upon seeing this, Gustav immediately explained, “My mother was from the Lyons family, a small noble family in the Capital City. Before the age of five, my surname was Lyons, but after my martial
Persuade?With just those words, aside from the pale complexion caused by the intimidating aura emanating from Fred, Myra’s face also showed a hint of surprise and astonishment.In fact, the purpose of Myra for coming here was the same as her grandfather's, which was to persuade Fred to take the position of the nation’s leader.However, when Windsor proposed this idea, it was more for the interests of Somerland.Fred was a living legend, the revered Great One!Five years ago, he even rose to the pinnacle of the world, intimidating all nations.Once Fred had become the nation’s leader, his every word and deed would be that of Somerland.How could overseas countries not show reverence to Somerland?However, Myra was different!She was a smart person. A smart person who was known as the most talented lady in Capital City, and also a smart person with ambitions.Compared to the interests of Somerland, Myra valued Fred’s young age more!Fred was barely 30 years old this year, whi
‘Fred Hoffman from Sea City?’‘Has come to visit the Halwarts?’At the moment when the thunderous sound echoed in their ears, the three of them, Caelus, Tobias, and Serena, who were just chatting and laughing, all showed extremely shocked expressions.Especially Tobias, who shouted in utter horror, “He's here? He actually came? How… How’s this possible?”Tobias was not a warlord. Therefore, even though he had his legs cut off by Fred with one ultimate move in San Hanna, he did not understand the significance of Fred's strength except for his hatred towards him.In his view, with so many people in the Halwarts and their mysterious and unfathomable nature, how could they be defeated by Fred?It was precisely because of this that after returning from San Hanna, even though Tobias’s daughter, Serena Payne, had been uneasy, he had been waiting for news of Fred's death.Now, Fred had actually come?“I didn't expect that brat really came!”Even Caelus was surprised at this moment as
The Grand Elder was the strongest member of the Halwarts. If he said so, then the matter was almost certain!Zion nodded slightly after hearing it and said, “Grand Elder is right! In recent years, the Halwarts have been devoted to business matters and gradually integrated into the mundane world. But because of this, there’ve been rumors among warlords that the Halwarts have neglected martial arts, and some even think that the Halwarts are vulnerable!“For this reason, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to restore the reputation of the Halwarts, and now that this brat has delivered himself to our doorstep, providing us with the perfect opportunity!“By establishing our authority through him and subsequently launching a bloody crackdown in both San Hanna and Sea City, we can undoubtedly enhance the reputation and power of our family, thus dispelling any rumors and slander!”As soon as he finished speaking, the elders all sneered.It was clear that they all understood that Zion w
‘This is the brat, Fred Hoffman?’As they watched Fred slowly enter the living room of the Halwarts’ residence, everyone showed a look of disdain.The reason was simple!Young!Too young!‘He looked like he’s barely in his thirties.’‘What skills could such a young boy have, especially one who wasn’t from the Warlord Gentry and had no systematic martial arts training from a young age?’Furthermore, none of them felt the kind of oppressive feeling that only a strong person could exude from Fred’s body, which made them even more disdainful of him.“Are you the Fred Hoffman who claimed to be visiting the Halwarts?” After making these judgments, Zion Halwart, as the head of the Halwarts, was the first to sneer.“Yes!”Fred nodded calmly.As soon as he spoke, everyone showed a mocking expression.Based on their observations of Fred before, they had already decided that he was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will in front of the Halwarts.Now, Fred still sham
‘Strength is something that can only be judged in a real fight!’Thinking of this, Zion Halwart snorted. “I never expect you to be able to endure the temperament of the elders in the Halwart family, it’s quite impressive. But if you think that this is the reason for you to be arrogant and boastful then, you’re daydreaming and pathetic! Did you really think that I have zero idea about your abilities?” “Oh? So you know about it?” This time, Fred finally reacted and looked over with a brief smile. In fact, ever since what happened five years ago, he was forced to break down and had never been able to use his abilities in full force until now.Five years had passed and nothing changed. Be it Master Nunez of the Chevez family or Triton from the Halwart family, none of them managed to unleash half of Fred’s potential.In other words, even Fred himself did not know where his strength was currently. Yet now, the small Halwart family actually claimed to know Frederick Hoffman,
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
