"Miss Heloise broke her fibula when she fell just now. It’s nothing serious. She just needs to rest for a month or two to recover."In the ward of Fairville Central Hospital in East City, the doctor was explaining Heloise’s condition to Fred kindly while she sat on the bed with her leg in a cast.Although she had recovered from her shock, her brows were still tightly furrowed.What happened just now was too terrifying.A dirt truck filled to the brim with dirt and sand had rushed toward them. Heloise's face still paled slightly when she recalled the scene of the car being crushed after that."Thank you, Doctor."Fred thanked the doctor again before returning to Heloise's bedside, saying, "I'm sorry about what happened today.""You’re too kind, Mr. Hoffman!”Heloise quickly waved her hands when she heard him say that and replied, "If you hadn't pulled me out of the car so deftly, I'm afraid... The point is, we’re lucky it’s just a broken leg.”After she said that, Heloise could
No need?Why not?Heloise was puzzled by his answer.She was just unaware that Stellar, a member of the Walkers, which was one of the eight great families in the warlord world, had established Fantastic Group’s intelligence network.The intelligence network, when engaged, was highly efficient and quick. It was much more efficient than regular police.Moreover, everyone in Fantastic Group was aware of Fred’s character. Since Hans had come to make his report, he naturally would not have done so after only gaining a little bit of information that anyone else could have gotten their hands on.Sure enough, after hearing what Fred said, Hans immediately put a hand over his heart and said, "Mr. Hoffman, we've already found the man, but he's quite the strange one.”"Strange? What do you mean?" Fred asked curiously."He didn't run or try to escape. He’s currently in a private room in a club opposite the company. Even when we found him, he merely just glanced at us. It was as if… It was
He delivered himself to their door?Hearing what the man in black said, the men immediately turned to the door, sneers appearing on their faces at a glance.There was no other reason apart from the fact that the person who had appeared at the door was the one they had been discussing before—the so-called 'kid' called Fred!He had learned from Hans at the hospital that the man in black who caused the previous dirt truck accident did not run or escape. He was at Ether Club, which was opposite Fantastic Group.Fred knew that the man in black was waiting for him to go to him.It was also obvious that Tyne's disappearance was connected to this, so how could Fred not come?When everyone in the private room looked over to him, Fred just walked slowly through the door before asking lightly, “Are you the one behind what happened this morning?”“Yes!”The man in black was still sporting the same frivolous attitude, but other than that, his gaze was mocking.As for the others, they were
Only their boss, the man in black in the middle, was still smiling frivolously. He let out a chuckle and said, "I let you lot have your fun and now it’s all mucked up?"The man in black looked up at Fred and added with a smile, "Boy, you really aren’t an ordinary person. It's quite interesting."There was no acknowledgment or response.Fred just casually dragged a sofa over and sat down on it before he looked at the man in black. He said lightly, "You were born in the army. You have a murderous aura to you, and you behave in a free and undisciplined manner. Even unscrupulous… Are you a mercenary?"“Oh?”There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. The man in black smiled even wider. It was obvious that Fred had guessed who he was.Soon, this smile gradually disappeared, and the man narrowed his eyes.He could tell from Fred's words and attitude that he was just evaluating him and did not intend to converse with him at all.In other words, Fred was not taking him seriously at all!
How could this happen?How could this possibly happen?Did they not already do their investigation before and learn that Fred was only a fairly skilled consortium chairman?Yet now, Fred alone was able to turn everything in the room to powder and bring the man in black completely down to his knees. Their leader was not even able to fight back despite Fred just using a finger. How was this just 'fairly skilled'?Fred was practically defying the natural order now.“You don’t seem willing to submit,” Fred commented lightly when he saw the man in black look up to glare at him.At the same time, that earth-shaking pressure seemed to instantly vanish.The man in black hurriedly got up before taking a few steps backward to put some distance between him and Fred.He was also now unable to manage his subordinates, whose courage had long been shattered.He just fixed his sights dead on Fred as he said through gritted teeth, “Just what are you?”“Before you ask someone a question, you
Fred was so strong that he exceeded his expectations; so strong that he had even lost all of his thoughts and courage to resist him just now.Yet what was the use of that?In the face of their golden sign, the Holy Lord of the Black Dragon, even Fred must submit.This was the true support that allowed members of the Black Dragon to dare to run wild!Hence…Zander no longer had any fear on his face when he looked at Fred again. In fact, his frivolous expression from before had returned. He raised his head high, imitating Fred's previous indifferent attitude as if he were looking down on everything. He stood with his hands behind his back and scoffed. "Since you already know that I’m one of the lord's men, why aren’t you being good and kneeling yet?"Hehe, if you behave well, I might still be able to spare your life after I bring you to the boss. Or else… even God can’t save you!”“Oh yeah?”Fred finally responded indifferently.What followed was an aura that Zander had experi
The Great One?He was actually the Great One?Looking at Fred and hearing the words 'Great One' leave his mouth, Zander’s expression was one of shock. He had a terrified gaze.He was more horrified now than when he saw Fred destroy everything with just a finger.It was more frightening than him being forced to kneel down on the ground after Fred had overwhelmed him.Although the members of the Black Dragon were haughty, they had always been a strict organization. They were even more cautious after coming to Somerland.Their leader had deliberately checked Fred's background before accepting the task.They had indeed realized then that Fred was hiding something else apart from his identity as the chairman of Fantastic Group.However, Zander never imagined what was hidden to be such a shocking secret.He… was actually the living legend, the Great One who stood at the pinnacle of the world!It was no wonder Fred was so powerful and terrifying. He also had such power in just a fin
However, how could he not believe it now that he had experienced Fred’s earth-shattering point of a finger?Fred did not need to say anything more after that for him to just start revealing everything."Owen, the young sir of the McKlauses, fell in love with Miss Tyne when he was studying in the United States..."But Miss Tyne returned to Somerland to get away from him."The Adams learned about this and then chose to cling to the McKlauses."When Owen learned about the close relationship between Miss Tyne and you, Great One, he started plotting. The Adams provided him with all the information…"Fred finally understood the ins and outs of everything that was happening after hearing Zander’s explanation.To put it bluntly, it was Owen, the young sir of the McKlauses, who wanted to kill Fred because of the hatred that was born out of his love for Tyne. The Adams provided them with Fred's information while trapping Tyne so that they could cling to the McKlauses.Finally, Zander cau
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
