"Great One, everyone is here. What do you think should be done?"Half an hour later, inside a room of the Millifell Province Battlefield Guest House...Leonard and Warren, who were lucky enough to meet Fred in Danerim, were the General and Deputy General of the Six Ministries Headquarters. At this moment, they stood respectfully in front of Fred, reporting the situation.In the corner of the room, Pip and Mr. Dove stood silently and trembled. They did not dare to move at all.Pip's face was extremely pale and desperate.As the Governor of Millifell Province, he thought that Fred was just a nobody he could manipulate at will. For Owen’s sake, Pip would get the city bureau to arrest Fred and throw him in jail. Even executing him on the spot would not be a problem.He never expected that Fred... would be the Great One!Although he still did not understand the significance of the Great One’s identity, Mr. Dove's impeccable explanation on the way here already made him weak in the leg
At the very least, the highest authority in Britain would not dare to say anything!As for the McKlaus family… What could they do if their nation could not do anything?The two nodded again and prepared to get it sorted.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Steven Adams, the head of the Adams, stood at the door with a little fear and great excitement on his face.Of course!Pip and Mr. Dove had misery etched on their faces, but Steven’s face was full of excitement.All of this aside, he was overjoyed to discover that Fred still had such an outstanding ability despite his Fantastic Group being hollowed out!Not even Owen, the young master of the McKlaus family, could compare to him!More importantly, Steven was Tyne Adams’ uncle; he knew Fred and Tyne had a close relationship.His purpose for being there became self-evident."Mr. Hoffman, I..."When Steven opened his mouth, he wanted to get close to Fred first.Before he could say anything, Fred interrupted him. "Four mo
It was cold in Millifell Province that night.To protect Tyne’s feelings, Fred did not rush back to Sea City immediately after everything was settled. Tyne did not intend to return to the performing arts company either.The two of them simply ate some street food in Millifell, then slowly strolled on the busy street, chatting like friends."How is Fantastic Group doing recently?"Tyne asked the question as she walked on top of the curb of the road, like a single-plank bridge."The situation is a bit tricky, but I can manage fine with Stellar and the others around!"Fred put his hands in his pockets and replied with a smile."What about the Hansens? I heard that they hollowed out the Fantastic Group this time," Tyne asked again."They have planned this for many years, and now they have fled Somerland and gone into hiding. It will not be easy to find them in a short time!" Fred laughed.Tyne could not help but frown when she heard this. "Then what should we do? They obviously ha
Fred did not know how to respond.Five years ago, he reached the apex of the world and became a living legend.However, this endeavor had almost endangered his family!If it was not for Old Mr. Cadman who secretly protected Peach Blossom Village and the Yates, Fred would have deeply regretted the day he became a living legend.For this reason, Fred gave the Cadmans a chance to join him and agreed to become Valerie's nominal husband.This was also why Fred never had any emotional attachment. Each person linked to him would share the danger that came with him!This was what he thought.In the face of Tyne's words that were almost a confession...Fred just smiled lightly and said, "You are my friend. An excellent friend!"Click!Tyne, who had been standing firm on the curbside, suddenly staggered and almost slipped.However, she quickly regained her composure. She smiled and retorted, "I think you don't just regard me as your friend, do you? More like a coolie to squeeze labor
Early the next morning...When the first ray of sunlight entered the room through the window, Tyne was already dressed and sat on the edge of the bed.She looked at Fred, who had just woken up, then slowly leaned against the bedside. Perhaps it was to ease the awkwardness between them, or she was in a playfully happy mood, for she burst out giggling."What should I say now? Do I comfort you and tell you not to cry? Or should I say that I will take responsibility?"Whoosh!Without replying, Fred just turned over quickly and got up. Then, he put on a coat and slowly walked over to Tyne."You should have a good rest, otherwise you won't be able to leave the room today. As for breakfast, I'll go and get it."Fred leaned close to her ear and whispered this to her with a smile.At the same time, he gently smoothed Tyne's hair and then walked toward the door.For a moment, Tyne was taken aback as she watched his back. Then she flushed red from her cheeks to the base of her neck.Aft
At this moment, the patriarch Alrond thundered, "Owen's leg can't be healed anymore, which means that my beloved youngest son will be crippled forever!"Everyone's expressions changed immediately as soon as these words were uttered.The patriarch’s implicit meaning behind this was very clear!This matter could not be left alone!Territh hurriedly said, "Brother, the high-level officials in Britain delivered a message when they sent Owen back. We are forbidden to offend the Great One because of Owen!"If we insist on going our way, there’s no need to wait for the Great One to take action. I'm afraid that Britain’s top officials would attack our family directly! We would be in deep trouble if this happened!""Deep trouble?"Patriarch Alrond's eyes were as cold as frost. He scoffed. "Then, Owen should be crippled for nothing? The McKlaus family should just take this injustice lying down? Our family has always been the one to stomp on others and not the other way around! Where is ou
"Boy, you know your way home, don’t you? Your sister isn’t home every day and neither are you. Are you both trying to piss off your mother?"Three days later.Sea City, Central Garden Villa.As soon as Fred entered the building, he was immediately greeted by his godmother, Iris. Although her eyes were full of joy, she had her hands on her hips and her eyebrows raised, looking like she wanted to settle scores with Fred.Fred could only smile wryly and reply, "Mom, I'm busy!""Busy? Isn't that just an excuse?"It was obvious that Iris did not believe Fred. She immediately scoffed. "You've been so busy that I haven't seen you bring a girlfriend back home You're not young anymore. If this continues, when will I be able to hug my grandchildren?"If this were the case in the past, Fred would start being evasive. Today, however, he immediately smiled. "Mom, I brought her this time!""Next time? You always say next time..."Iris was going to scold Fred as usual, but she was taken abac
"Mr. Hoffman, did the 100 billion dollars help?"As soon as the line went through, Windsor's laughter boomed from the other side.Of course!The so-called 100 billion dollars was exactly the amount that the Four Super Nations compensated.Although the Four Super Nations handed over the money to Fred, it would eventually be given to Somerland. Therefore, Fred already had an agreement with Windsor before he used the money.With that in mind, Fred smiled and said, "Of course, it has been useful, but Fantastic Group is still an empty shell so this money still needs to be circulated for a while. Once the problem is solved, I will personally deliver it to your doorstep.""Hehe, that’s too much, Mr. Hoffman!"On the other end of the phone, Windsor said with a chuckle, "It’s thanks to you that we even have this money in the first place, Mr. Hoffman. If you need it, just go ahead and use it! I’m not calling to rush you! It's about something more important!""Something more important? Wh
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
