Haley was infuriated when she heard what Fred said.It was not a matter of inconvenience. He was obviously saying that she was scared. She was Detective Haley, however. She was unbending!The more other people pointed out that she was afraid, the more she wanted to prove them wrong!Not to mention, the one who was saying this right now was Fred, who to her was but a second-generation wealthy heir who had come to seek excitement while riding on the shadows of his ancestors.Thus, Haley immediately stepped forward and pressed her finger directly on the fingerprint lock as she snapped, "There's no inconvenience. But you, you'd better not end up crying because you got scared!"Crying because he got scared?Fred smiled and shook his head the moment he heard that.To the side, Ulric even rolled his eyes quietly.The living legend, the Great One who stood at the pinnacle of the world, crying because he was scared?What a joke!It would be good enough if Fred was not the one who scar
"Interesting! How very interesting!"With a playful gaze and a cold smile, the Butcher slowly put down the book in his hand and looked over at Fred.It was just a simple look, but Haley’s expression instantly froze as it made her put up her guard again. Although she had not seen it with her own two eyes, Haley had witnessed through surveillance many times before that those who tried to interrogate the Butcher would have such an expression directed at them once they started asking their questions.It would then be followed by a terrifying, murderous intent. Even if they had been interrogating him through an iron cage, they would still be driven to insanity by the fear instilled by the Butcher's murderous intent.Yet, not only did Fred enter this cell to meet with the Butcher face-to-face now, but he was also being so eccentric by trying to bribe the Butcher with money.Although 500 million was a huge sum of money today, what was it to the Butcher?The way Haley saw it, this woul
The Butcher broke out into bellowing laughter in the next second. He then looked at Fred and said with a smile, "Boy, your joke is not funny!""I wasn’t joking with you. Neither do you have the right for me to joke with you," Fred said lightly.The moment Haley heard that, she knew things were spiraling. It even made her blurt out uncontrollably, "Do… Do you know what you’re saying?”However, her words obviously had no effect.In the next second, the Butcher's laughter abruptly cut off as his eyes turned red. "It seems like you’re looking to die?” he glowered furiously."I don’t know about that."Fred shook his head slightly. He shoved one hand into his pocket and walked toward the butcher slowly, saying, "But this expression of yours, I don’t quite understand it. Are you not willing to accept my new offer?”He was still going forward?Haley looked at Fred as if he was an idiot before the Butcher gave his answer.It was obvious that Fred's words just now had irritated the Butc
"You... How did you..."Looking at the palm that had at some point landed on his shoulder, he then looked behind him and saw Fred, who was completely intact. The Butcher's face was filled with surprise.It was obvious... that he had killed Fred with one blow just now, so why… Why did he appear behind him again at this moment?There was also not a single trace on his face that he had pierced his fingers through it before, let alone blood. How could this be?Of course, the Butcher was not the only one present. Haley was also looking at Fred, who was intact, with a dull expression. She could scarcely believe what was happening.She had seen Fred's head getting pierced by the Butcher, but why did it look like nothing had happened?Could it be that she had been dreaming before?"As expected of the Great One!"Among the three people present besides Fred, only Ulric sighed before he shook his head and laughed.This was because only he knew that the reason why everyone thought Fre
Ulric could not help being speechless for a moment when he heard that.Before he could say anything, however, Fred laughed again and said, "But it's okay. It just so happened that I learned a little trick after the Battle of the Gods. And now we can try it out!"Little trick?Try it out?What did he mean by that?A puzzled look immediately crossed Ulric’s face, but come the next second, he was stunned.Just as Fred said what he said, he waved his hand with a faint smile before stretching it in front of him and curling his fingers into his palm.The puddle of blood and flesh that remained of the Butcher gathered together again with the gentle grip of Fred's hand.In the next second, the Butcher reappeared in the same place, dazed but intact. It was a phenomenon that was incomparably strange.“This… This…”Ulric was instantly stunned, while Haley was so frightened that her face had turned pale. She was speechless.A person died but… but actually came back to life again?Most
Sorrow... Oh, such sorrow!What was the first offer Fred gave?500 million!A sky-high price of 500 million!Yet what did the Butcher say now? That he would even agree to five cents!The difference in number was unbelievable!However, neither Ulric, the overseas martial arts king, nor Haley, the female detective, were surprised by Butcher's answer.After all… being killed and brought back to life repeatedly was really terrible!No matter how strong a person was, they would at most be unafraid of death. Yet to find out that they were not only able to die once but for it to go on indefinitely was a fear that went beyond the fear of death!It was why the Butcher, a man who was a frightening existence and who struck terror in the hearts of others, was now crying…Of course, even though he was crying, what needed to be said still had to be said especially when he was facing Fred, a terrifying existence who could dictate his life and death no matter how many times.The Butcher no
Bloody Hands' headquarters.At an unknown place at this moment, there was an old man whose face was partially hidden in the darkness. He was smoking a cigar while looking at the large screen in front of him. He was engaged in a remote video conversation.Those who had participated in the five-nation talks would be surprised to realize that among the people on the screen were the representatives Cameron and Orlando of the United States and Britain respectively who had participated in the talks.Their topic of conversation at this moment was what had been secretly circulating among the top leaders of many big countries during this time, and that was the assassination plan against Fred that Bloody Hands had taken over."Hehe, the McKlauses of Britain sure are mighty ballsy this time! Offering a reward for the Great One’s assassination? Hehe, it's really something I never thought about before!" Cameron, the representative of the United States, said with a sneer.The representative of
Operation Godslayer! The plan to kill the living legend, the revered Great One—Fred! Almost the moment the old man spoke out in the Bloody Hands HQ, the representative, Cameron, as well as Orlando and those from the other countries, all showed serious expressions through the screens. All of them knew that this plan had been proposed five years ago, when Fred, the living legend, the revered Great One, rose to the pinnacle of the world. It was also an unprecedented plan that was adopted by many international powers without any objection, except for Somerland! The reason for it was that the existence of Fred had broken the usual pattern. Before Fred came out of nowhere, all the countries had its fair share of strong warlords. For example, Somerland housed the eight great families of the warlord world, the Sunrise Islands had their Espionage Society, and the other great nations present such as Britain and the United States also had similar organizations. Despite thi
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
