“He’s k-k-k-kneeling? What…”

Stellar shocked everyone with his actions. They all seemed to be petrified. Someone only managed a stammer a moment later, not even able to get their words out to describe the scene completely.

Stellar's status was one thing—he was someone a wealthy man like Mr. Graham had gone out of his way to curry favor with.

More importantly, the person Stellar was kneeling for...was Fred, someone they had been ignoring, looking down on, ridiculing, and even unabashedly hurling a series of extreme insults—they had repeatedly called him a piece of trash, worthless, and more!

Fred, the pathetic man who married into the Cadmans!

With everyone thinking this, Mr. Graham has convinced that he was about to go insane!

What was going on?

Why was Stellar Walker kneeling for that trash, Fred Hoffman?

Was he dreaming?

Mr. Graham could not help himself and even found an excuse for Mr. Walker and asked, “Mr. Walker, ah, do your legs hurt?”

What Stellar said next immediately shattered Mr. Graham’s delusion.

“Great One! Even if I were to forget my parents, I would never dare forget your visage!”

Stellar cared naught for the other’s gazes when he said that. He immediately bowed to Fred, his face filled with excitement.

That was because only Stellar himself was aware of what a blessing it was for him to be able to kneel before the glory of the fantastic Great One!

It was something worth bragging about with other people for the rest of his life!

“Impossible! This is fake! This is most definitely fake!”

Mr. Graham finally broke down when he saw this. He even pointed a finger at Fred with a complete lack of decorum and said sharply, “That guy! He is nothing but the Cadman’s pathetic son-in-law! A waste of space! He is a man who doesn't even dare say anything when his wife wants to cuckold him! All of Sea City knows this! How could he be a Great One? How could he make Mr. Walker kneel? This is fake, you’re all faking it!”

“Yes, yes! If he really was so capable, why would he have let himself be called a wimp for so many years? Why would he look like a pathetic man who married into the Cadmans and was always at the receiving end of insults?”

The others immediately shouted one after another.

These words were not only addressed to Stellar, but also to themselves.

Fred could not be allowed to be anything but good-for-nothing whom they could bully whenever they liked. A piece of trash, a pathetic man famous in Sea City to have married into the Cadmans!

If not, would their fate not be…

“This is absurd!”

Snorting coldly, Stellar said, “How could you ants possibly know what kind of person the Great One is? If he was willing, this world would belong to him right now!”

After saying that, Stellar clasped his fists directly before Fred and said, “Great One, please allow me to uproot the families of the people present so that they will disappear forever.”

Uproot?

Disappear forever?

Everyone who heard these words went as pale as paper and was sweating profusely.

They did not understand what he meant by the Great One but they did know that with Stellar's status within Fantastic Group, it definitely would not be hard for him to uproot them!

Everyone dared not speak when they thought of this. They all looked at Fred in a way they never thought they would before—there was a pleading look in their eyes.

However, Fred was not as indifferent as before this time.

In fact, some things had already been decided the moment he entered.

“Do not involve their families,” Fred said lightly and then slowly pushed his wheelchair toward the door.

“Yes!”

Fred disappeared right after he said that. Stellar promptly watched Fred as he left before he slowly raised his head. His eyes flickered coldly as the door closed.

After that, anguished wailings erupted inside the room...

...

“What? Mr. Graham and Mr. Walker did not turn up the entire night?”

The next morning, people filled the compound of the Cadman household. Everyone was waiting for Valerie to bring them good news.

However, the news she brought had disappointed them all!

“Valerie, tell us what happened!” said one of the elders with a cold expression.

He was Elmer Cadman, the head of the Cadman family, and also Valerie's uncle. It had been his idea to have Valerie go to the hotel to sacrifice herself.

Elmer’s blunt questioning dyed Valerie's face red. She had no idea how to answer him.

The situation back then?

How was she to describe it?

Was she supposed to say she stripped and cleaned herself before lying on the bed? Yet, neither Mr. Graham nor Mr. Walker came to touch her?

“Is it because of that good-for-nothing, Fred?”

Elmer asked again, seeing Valerie silent.

“Uhm…”

Valerie immediately hesitated again when she heard this.

The truth was that Valerie had also been wondering if Fred was the reason Mr. Graham never showed up the entire night.

Forgetting Mr. Walker for the time being, Valerie could tell from the look in Mr. Graham’s eyes that he had wanted to swallow her alive despite him having behaved so properly.

With the state she was already in, why did Mr. Graham not come if there was no other reason?

“So, it really was that good-for-nothing!”

Seeing Valerie like this, Elmer slammed his hand on the table fiercely and snorted. “The Cadmans feed him, clothe him yet he dares ruin things for the family? The audacity of this worthless trash!”

“Brother, Fred is Valerie's husband after all…”

Valerie's father, Eric Cadman, had not been in favor of letting his daughter sacrifice herself, to begin with. When he heard Elmer say that about his daughter's husband, he could not help but want to speak up.

Midway through the conversation, Valerie's mother, Karen Lane, interrupted them with disdain, “Husband? Is that piece of trash worthy of the title ‘husband’ now? If Father hadn't insisted on accepting that good-for-nothing man into the family when he was alive, our precious Valerie would not have been saddled with that useless trash.”

“She’s right!”

Elmer nodded as well and said, “Forget about that trash, Fred. Who do you think Mr. Graham is? He's the young master of the Graham family who inspires awe in Sea City!”

“If Valerie stays with him, not only will it solve the family crisis, he might even take better care of her if he's fond of her! I'm doing this for Valerie's own good, do you understand?”

His words were very pompous.

Eric was aware of the disputes between them, but he had always been a timid man and did not dare say a word.

Valerie’s mother, Karen, was happy to hear this.

As for everyone else, they immediately echoed Elmer’s words after he spoke.

“Exactly!”

“While she might only be Mr. Graham’s kept woman, isn't it ten thousand times better than being with that trash, Fred Hoffman?”

“The Grahams own a large business. Valerie will have a good home, and the Cadmans would also have a supporter. It’s practically killing two birds with one stone!”

With every word, the Cadmans seemed to have come to regard Fred as a cancer that obstructs the family’s development and Valerie’s happiness.

They could not wait to get rid of him and be done with it!

However, just when everyone was in the midst of a heated discussion, a snarl sounded outside the door all of a sudden, shocking everyone.

“Bring that b*stard Fred Hoffman out here or I will crush your family today!”

    "You...you..."  Looking at Fred who slowly stood up in front of him, Three was even more surprised than when Fred caught the baseball bat with one hand just now.  Three was the Graham family's head mercenary, and the younger Mr. Graham had always coveted Valerie.  So to please Mr. Graham, his understanding of Fred's background was not inferior to anyone else's. He even had more in-depth knowledge compared to the rest.  Because of this, Three knew that Fred had been in a wheelchair since he became the infamous son-in-law of the Cadman family five years ago.  However, Fred was now...he actually got up from his wheelchair?  How was this possible?  Could it be that Fred was just pretending before?  This act...was five years long!

    The person waiting outside the door was naturally the president of Fantastic Group, Stellar Walker.  How could he be negligent to the order of the Great One?  After giving a response, Stellar immediately stepped away and did not show up again.Everyone would have frozen to the spot if they learned that Stellar had become Fred's errand boy.  However, the Cadman family did not see his face, so...  "What did he just say? Did you guys hear that? In ten minutes, all the doctors of Ph.D. level and above in Sea City would come here to give a consultation. What a joke!"  One of the Cadmans laughed in a teasing tone. "Fred, in these five years, it's the first time I found you so good at acting! Do you want all the professors and higher-ups in Sea City to come here? Who do you think you are? Why don't you just say you'll have the best hospital in Sea City moved here directly instead?"  "If needed, it's not impossible!" Fred said blandly.  "Listen to him! He's engrossed in his delu

    ‘Mr. Hoffman?Was he here for Fred?Everyone in the hospital room was stunned momentarily when they saw the middle-aged man standing at the door.Particularly the Cadman family members who had promised to drink toilet water if Fred managed to get the help of a doctor with the seniority of a hospital’s director. ‘He can’t possibly have succeeded, could he?’ they wondered to themselves.After giving the middle a good look-over, someone suddenly jeered in disdain. “Don’t tell me this is the experienced doctor you were talking about, Fred!”Everyone else laughed mockingly when they heard him.While this middle-aged man looked well put together, his clothes were worn down and he looked pitiful.Most importantly, any doctor with the seniority of a hospital director was usually around their sixties. This middle-aged man was only in his forties, and therefore too young.“Oh, Fred! This is the doctor you were talking about? Hmph, do we look like idiots to you? As if we would believe any

    “Oh, Mr. Walls! You’re here!”No one was happier than Henry about Mr. Walls’s arrival. After all, Mr. Walls was acknowledged by all as the best there was in Sea City’s medical field. He was someone even the country’s higher-ups took note of.‘The Cadmans questioned Fred, right?‘Let’s see what they can say now that Mr. Walls is here, then!’Having thought so, Henry quickly introduced Mr. Walls to Fred, “Mr. Hoffman, this here is Mr. Walls, the leader of our team of consultants. Mr. Walls…”“You’re still keeping this up?”Before Henry could finish introducing the two, Valerie’s mother Karen interrupted mockingly, “First, you come in here with a fake management officer, and now you’ve brought in a fake director? I’ve truly underestimated you, Fred. Who would have thought that you’d spend so much money just to act like you’re some powerful bigshot in front of us?”With that, Karen made a beeline for the director of The First Hospital, Mr. Walls, and harrumphed contemptuously. “Yo

    The room was silent.Dead silent.The Cadmans seemed to be petrified by what they heard and were rooted in place.“Valerie… Who, who did you say that man was?”Elmer, head of the Cadman family, had an expression of disbelief on his face as he turned to Valerie to clarify.“I-It’s… Stellar Walker!” Valerie shouted. “Stellar Walker of Fantastic Group? The man you asked to help solve our family’s crisis?” Elmer asked again, refusing to believe it.“I-It’s him!”Elmer fell to the floor right after Valerie nodded. His expression was one of dejected understanding when he murmured, “How? How is this possible?”The other members of the Cadman family looked aghast as well.The Fantastic Group was a super financial group with influence in a great portion of Somerland. Its assets were priceless and its status was unparalleled!As a representative of Fantastic Group in charge of the matters in Sea City, Stellar’s social standing was much much higher than the Cadmans.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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
