“Who is that?”Just as Fred and Rebekah slowly entered the hotel, the man walking beside Brook suddenly frowned. Brook turned to ask curiously, “What’s wrong, Mr. Greywulf?” “I sense danger,” Greywulf replied coldly.“Danger? You worry too much, Mr. Greywulf.”Brook smiled. “You’re as powerful as a martial god, and everyone here is a member of our underground organization. Even if they try anything, they’re no match for you.” There was a reason Brook could say that with such confidence. He knew how powerful Greywulf was. The man’s strength was godlike. No one could possibly threaten Greywulf.Greywulf nodded slightly after hearing what Brook said. “Perhaps I mistook it for something else. There are only so many people who I’d sense danger from, and there’s only one person in this whole world who I won't be able to detect.” “You mean that… that Great One you asked me to help investigate, Mr. Greywulf?” Brook asked curiously.It must be known that Brook did not manage to
The outside of the hotel was gradually quieting down.Most of the leaders of the Crimson Kill Meeting were already gathered in the hotel's hall which had been especially emptied out at this moment.The Crimson Kill Meeting that gathered the leaders of the Crimson Kill Society from each country had also officially kicked off.Since the venue of this meeting was in Sealand, the head position was naturally reserved for the leader of the Sealand Crimson Kill Society, a middle-aged man named Milton.Apart from Milton, the leaders of the British and French branches, Miller and Johansen as well as the Swiss leader and more that Rebekah had mentioned before outside the hotel, were also here.As for Fred, since Rebekah was a leader of the Sealand branch, she led Fred to a seat beside Milton. The same went for Brook and Greywulf.After everyone was finally seated, Milton cleared his throat and said with a slight smile, "The annual Crimson Kill Meeting has finally started. It’s been a long
Merge Crimson Kill Society?Practically the moment Brook said that, the expressions of the leaders of the Crimson Kill Society from each country who had harbored initial intentions instantly sunk to rock bottom.This was because even though they were all members of the society and were together back then, that was in the past. Now, the long years had passed. Apart from them having the same roots and origins as well as sharing the same name that was Crimson Kill Society, they were essentially already different forces.With these circumstances, they, the leaders of the Crimson Kill Society of various countries, were the real people in power.Who would be the main head if they were to merge? Who would give up the power that they had in their hands?Most importantly, they were all major leaders.Brook was just a minor head! Who was he to spout such unbridled ravings? Hence, when the British leader, Miller, heard this, he scoffed. “Not any Tom, Dick, and Harry are allowed to say
Just when Hardi was about to touch Brook, he frowned slightly.This was because, in his eyes, Brook did not look like he was scared or trying to struggle. Instead, he stood where he was, smiling faintly and coldly.Then…An aura that made Hardi feel like he was falling into hell suddenly emanated from Greywulf, who was beside Brook, startling him.“You… You’re…”“An ant!”Practically ignoring Hardi, Greywulf brought his palm down.In just an instant, Hardi, who was seen by everyone present as some super fighter just now, was smacked into a pile of crushed flesh without any resistance.For a moment, everyone was dumbfoundedMilton especially was as dazed as a plank of wood. He did not dare believe what had happened at all.However, it had not ended yet!In the next second, Greywulf slowly got up and looked around at the audience.The fighters and strongmen who were protecting the Crimson Kill Society leaders from different countries all felt a shiver go through them at Greyw
Hm?The scene had been quiet because of what Greywulf did and what Brook said. After this man abruptly stood up and said what he said, however, everyone’s gazes instantly turned toward him.When they looked over, their surprised gazes instantly became as if they were looking at a fool being unreasonable.This was because the one who had gotten up was none other than Fred, who had been sitting next to Rebekah!As mentioned earlier, it was the custom of the people in the west that no matter what party a lady attended, she would definitely have to bring a partner of the opposite sex.Hence, it was not that they had not seen Fred but it was more that they had ignored him.In their eyes, Fred was just a partner and was not someone of particularly significant identity. He was at best, a pretty boy that Rebekah had brought with her!Did this pretty boy have any sense of life and death, standing up at a time like this? Did he have none at all?“You… What are you doing?”Rebekah was
“Brought you up?”The chill on Brook’s face intensified when he heard what Fred said.His son, Bart, immediately sneered. "Ridiculous! Brought you up?! You think you have the right? When did we do that? Don't tell me you mean when we mentioned the person who could go up against Greywulf now?" "I guess so!" Fred replied calmly, "But that statement's a little off. After all, he's not worthy to talk about confronting me!" "Preposterous!" Brook immediately snapped angrily the moment he said that. However, before he even did anything, Greywulf's gaze was already being slowly directed at Fred as a dignified expression showed on his face. Before, like Brook, Greywulf did not care about Fred at all. Although Greywulf was Crimson Kill's S-Class killer, in reality, there were a lot of people who were the same. They had only ever heard of the title 'the revered Great One' but had never seen him. If his brother, Redwolf, had not died at the hands of the revered Great One, which pla
"W-W-What…"What was this situation?Greywulf unexpectedly fell to his knees heavily following the sound of a plop.Everyone present at the scene was dumbfounded and dazed. They were at an inexplicable loss!Was it not said that Greywulf was a super-strong fighter who was godlike? They had seen with their own eyes how he had killed off the British and French leaders of the Crimson Kill Society, Miller and Johansen, one after another like ants just now.He was so remarkable!He was so fierce! Why… Why would he kneel just like that? He was kneeling to Fred, the one who they thought was Rebekah's pretty boy who knew not of the complexities of life. He even decided to be a reckless fool.This made quite a few of them rub their eyes and pinch their legs as they wondered if they were dreaming or if they were suddenly hallucinating. Otherwise, why would Greywulf, the super fighter, kneel before Fred? Was it to say… Fred, this young man from Somerland, had some serious backgro
He had heard of him and knew him well!However… Although he had said to Brook before that the revered Great One was an invincible existence in the world and that he would be simply put down like some dog in front of him, in Greywulf’s heart, he thought that with his strength, he should still be able to throw in about ten or so moves. He could even strive for a slim chance of survival if he fought with all his might even if he did lose to Fred.Thus… even if he did not dare confront the revered Great One head-on to avenge his younger brother, Redwolf, he was daring enough to secretly use the Crimson Kill Society to try something.However, while one’s imagination was ornate, the reality was stark!He realized he was wrong when he was actually facing Fred!In fact, he was dead wrong!It had just been a glance!Just a simple look made him kneel on the ground, unable to resist and unable to move.What was he thinking? Squeezing in a few dozen blows and striving for a chance of survi
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
