Whether it was Stellar, Shaun, Kelsey, or the other members of the Red Letter Army, Jill and Black Lightning only incapacitated them and did not take their lives. Of course, this was not out of their moral virtue but because of the value their lives had! Jill and Black Lightning—two of the strongest in Britain—only had one reason to accompany the second heir of the McKlauses all the way to Somerland. Was it to help the McKlauses get their revenge? Of course not! The reason they came to Somerland—to this Central Garden Villa—was because this was the place where the living legend, the pinnacle of the world, the revered Great One lived. This place housed Fred's adoptive parents and his girlfriend, Tyne. They were imperative to their motive. Because these were the people closest to Fred, the secret of Fred's power was most likely in the hands of Tyne and the old couple. However, both Stellar and Red Letter Army were Fred's followers. They might have been left here to gu
"No, no, no, no......"Black Lightning watched the figure descend from the sky, feeling the man's cold gaze falling on him. From the start, Black Lighting had a constant picture of arrogance on his face. At this moment, he was petrified, standing in place blankly and afraid to move even an inch.He muttered the word "no" for a long time, but was stunned and did not make a full sentence.As for Jill behind him, she also had a shocked expression on her face. At the same time, awe and fear appeared in her eyes.The figure in front of her descending like a god from the sky. It was none other than the current living legend, The Great One, Lord Fred Hoffman!"Fred! You...you're back?"Compared to the others, Tyne looked less worried than before and threw herself into Fred's arms with a tender look on her face."You're back?""Yes! I'm back!"Fred smiled lightly, then looked at his tearful foster parents beside him. "Mom and Dad, sorry to worry you!""It's okay… it's okay! Good that
Next?Would there be another one?Upon hearing Fred’s declaration, the inherent fighters who were quite confident at first now looked at each other with their eyes full of fear.It was just a slap; that actually killed their leader?How could they carry on?Jill and Black Lightning looked solemn. Although they could not tell whether Fred was injured right now, that slap just now told them everything they needed to know!Fred did not give them time to think.Fred saw Stellar, Shaun, and even the Red Letter Army’s injuries.Inside the villa, Fred also saw his adoptive parents, as well as Tyne’s fear before he appeared.For Fred, there was only one word in his mind, ‘Kill!’Swish!Fred's eyes swept past the people. The inherent fighters all looked in a daze.The next second, before they realized it, one of them was already in Fred's hands."My lord! I..."Boom!Fred did not hold back. With a punch, that person was killed instantly.Then, Fred's figure flickered again and h
Ah! ! !Accompanied by the shrill scream, blood gushed from Black Lightning's legs. His eyes were filled with fear.As for Jill, she stood there like a wooden statue. Even though her face and body were splattered with Black Lightning’s blood, she did not even dare to move.The prior complacency, arrogance, and haughtiness…At this moment, all of that was gone because of Fred's gaze.The only thing left was endless fear and regret!As for Territh, he had collapsed to the ground in horror—Fred had already switched his target and set his sights on him again."A member of the McKlaus family?" Fred asked lightly.Boom!As soon as the words fell, Territh immediately groveled to Fred. He knelt and begged with a pale face. "My lord! I... I just came here in the name of the patriarch. He said that he wanted to avenge that boy Owen. He said that he wanted to destroy everything you owned, be it your family or property, so that you would regret it even if you died! If it were up to me, I
"So… I'm already dead..."......Sea City.Inside a villa.A fully-bearded Howard, the third-in-line of the McKlaus family, sat on the sofa holding a glass of red wine with an arrogant look on his face.In front of him, seven or eight Somerland men kneeled in front of him with their hands tied behind their backs.There were bloody marks all over their faces and bodies. It was obvious that not only were they bound, but had also been whipped as a punishment."What? Are you still refusing to speak?"Howard snorted coldly at these Somerland men dying in front of him. "You Somer people have a good saying. Carrot or stick, it’s your pick!"I have given you the opportunity before—tell me the core secrets and all the accounts of the Fantastic Group that you have. Not only will you be set free, but you will also be treated as friends of our family. Why won’t you just pick the easy way out?""You...can dream on!"Peter Cullen, the sworn brother of Isaiah Norris, who was once a member
"Wh...What the f..."As they say, if a person sits at home, disaster would come from above.The previously magnificent villa had been reduced to a mess. Howard, who looked threatening earlier, was immediately stunned.What the hell was going on?The wall was fine moments ago. How did it get demolished?However, Peter, whose face was covered in blood at the moment, had excitement in his eyes in contrast to Howard. When he saw the figure slowly walking into the villa, Peter immediately shouted excitedly. "My lord!"Indeed!The person who came was none other than Fred who dashed here all the way from Central Garden Villa!Right now, Fred was expressionless. He just glanced at Peter and the others first. After confirming that their lives were not in danger, he turned his attention to Howard."Did you hurt them?"The indifferent words were accompanied by a shadow. Fred had already appeared in front of Howard. He stretched out his hand to grab Howard’s neck and lifted him up.Howa
“I can!” Peter clenched his jaw. Fred offered him a nod. “Bring everyone outside. There’s already a car waiting for you there.” ‘Outside?’Peter was stunned for a while, and beside him, Howard’s expression had turned wretched. As the third in command of the McKlauses, he was used to being respected wherever he went. Yet, Fred had barged into his villa, and not only did the younger give him a scare so huge he almost wet his pants, but Fred was also ignoring his presence right now!This was also when Howard had men pointing their guns at him!At this point, it did not feel like mere ignorance anymore. Howard felt undermined, and he refused to accept this.Resentment flashed across Howard’s features. “Motherf*cker! Are you deaf? Stop acting! Yeah, I got a shock just now, but that was only because you caught me off guard! Now that my men are here, how dare you keep up your act of nonchalance?!” Howard scoffed and turned to instruct his men, “What are you all waiting for? G
‘H-He’s dead?‘My third brother Howard… is dead?’Territh, the McKlauses’ second in command, was in shock.The man stood amidst the frosty wind with a pale complexion pale and purple lips, his body trembling as he stared at Howard’s headless body. Of course, Howard’s death was hardly as gruesome as Black Lightning’s or the other practitioners back at Central Garden Villa, but they were not his brother. However, Territh did not feel hatred at all. Rather, he did not dare to resent Fred for the man was already walking out of the villa. Fred's gaze was now on him. “You said the British army was stationed at Somerland’s borders to prevent the Somer government from intervening, correct?” Fred asked calmly as he wiped the blood off his hand. “Y-Yes!” Territh nodded, his gaze fixated on the bloody tissue in Fred’s hand. There was still a sliver of hope in Territh’s heart, and that was the British army stationed at Somerland’s borders.After receiving notice of Fred’s death at B
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
