Southwest of Britain.In the hall of the incredibly wealthy residence of the McKlaus family, Ayerton Fortress, a grand banquet was being held at this moment. Compared with the ones in the previous month, the lively atmosphere at present was doubly extreme!A month ago, the young master of the insanely wealthy McKlaus family, Owen, got his legs crippled because he offended the Great One who was a living legend. Not only that, but the British officials had also tried to wipe out their relationship with one another.The sudden loss the McKlaus suffered in terms of both prestige and business threw them almost to the bottom of the barrel.It was all in the past now, however. Looking at the lively scene ahead, Alrond, the patriarch of the family, could not help but feel complacent. He even felt that whatever he had done in his life had all been the right choice, which was to defy all opinions and issue the bounty for the Great One under Bloody Hands!Now, the Great One was dead!Britai
Chuckling, Gold Hornet said, "Now that Somerland has lost the Great One, they'll definitely see chaos in these two years! Didn't you also send your two younger brothers, Territh and Howard, there? Putting Territh aside, I believe Howard has, at this moment, claimed Fantastic Group that the revered Great One left, no?"We can use Fantastic Group as the foundation to throw Somerland into more chaos and then develop the arms business without restraint. I believe we’ll definitely make a lot of money! What other profit can compare with this nowadays, after all?”Alrond's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this.The reason why the McKlaus family was known to be incredibly wealthy was because they started out in the arms business!If things really went as Gold Hornet said, it was likely that the McKlaus family would experience another glory!Thinking this, Alrond could not help but laugh as he responded, "It’s an excellent idea! Not only did you kill the man, but we can also even use Fa
Hoffman? A Somerlander? Listening to the servant's words, Alrond immediately frowned. As far as he could remember, there were no powerful families in Britain with the surname of Hoffman, let alone a Somerlander! "Is there only one Somerlander?" Alrond asked after thinking about it. "Only two of them; the others aren't! But it looks as if… It seems..." The subordinate stammered as he spoke. "Seems like what?" Alrond asked discontentedly.The subordinate cautiously glanced at Gold Hornet beside Alrond and said, "He seems to have an aura somewhat similar to Mr. Gold Hornet!" "Oh?" Gold Hornet was a little surprised to hear that. As for Alrond, he was slightly surprised and said, "A cultivator? Could it be that Mr. Jill and Mr. Black Lightning have returned from Somerland with their people?" As soon as this idea popped up, Alrond instantly smiled with joy! As the patriarch of the McKlaus family, he naturally knew that his brother Territh, in his capacity a
"Tsk! I thought it was Ms. Jill and Mr. Black Lightning who came back. I didn't think it would be some rude person who came instead!" "That's right! We're all here to greet Ms. Jill and the others. Why did a nobody pop out of nowhere?" "He seems pretty prideful to come despite not being invited!" A young man looked at Fred with disdain and sneered. "Hey! Kid, take a look in the mirror, won't you? Not just anyone is allowed to come into Ayerton Castle. A banquet held by the McKlaus family isn't something someone like you can just attend!" The man also added to Alrond respectfully, "Alrond, how about I get rid of this guy who came out of nowhere?" "Fine!" Alrond nodded slightly without care, obviously agreeing to the man's proposal. When the man saw this, he immediately looked smug. He was called Doylel and was an heir to a small family in Britain. The purpose of him attending this banquet was to befriend the McKlaus family, just like everyone else. At the mo
The who? What was going on here? No one knew whether he chose to ignore those words, or if he selectively filtered them out. Alrond, the patriarch of the McKlaus family, looked at the obviously weird look of Gold Hornet in front of him. Suddenly, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed with a puzzled expression. He did not know what was happening with the current state of Gold Hornet's mind. From surprise to shock… From suspicion to uncertainty! In the end, all these emotions were transformed into only one thing—fear! "He's not dead! How can he not be dead? He's actually alive!" These words in Gold Hornet's mind kept beating back and forth so much that his brain was about to shut down.Even so, the trembling from the panic filled Gold Hornet's whole body!In front of him was a person who was at the Bloody Hands headquarters. At that time, he was surrounded by more than thirty super S-class killers, who also took genetic reagents. Their strength had been raised to
"So, you are The Revered Great One?"With a hint of hideousness and disdain, Doyle immediately snorted coldly. "Who cares about the dogsh*t revered Great One, the living legend? I heard earlier that you were tricked to your death by Mr. Gold Hornet. Now that you have escaped alive, you chose not to hide, but you still dare to come knocking? What is it that you want? Revenge?"Why don't you take a look at yourself first? Let me tell you, since you dare to throw your hands at the gate of the McKlaus family home, it's already considered a capital offense! Now kneel down in front of Alrond and beg for his forgiveness, and you can still die a quick death. Otherwise, any one of the people here has the capability to torture with a horrible death!Saying so, Doyle looked at Gold Hornet, then said, "Oh yes, Mr. Gold Hornet. You are known as the Great Eradicator, so you must be jumping at this opportunity, right? It's okay, you can go ahead and let this guy know what he is in front of the Gre
He...he knelt down? Doyle, who was still being complacent, was dumbfounded when he saw Gold Hornet kneeling like this.As for the other guests around, there was no shortage of people who thought similarly to Doyle. So at this moment, they were also astonished, completely confused about the situation. They all thought he was the Great Eradicator. Before this, during the banquet in the castle hall, he claimed that he could kill Fred, the revered Great One, again if he were to come back to life. So… At this moment, when Fred really came, Gold Hornet just knelt in front of Fred. This contrast in attitude was much too drastic! Of course!The one with the ugliest expression was Alrond, the patriarch of the McKlaus family! Although he knew more about Fred than Doyle did, it was only a little more.Before this, during the banquet, Gold Hornet swore that since he killed Fred once, he could kill him a second time. Aside from Doyle and the others, even Alrond believed in i
Those three sentences silenced Alrond's question and exposed his hypocrisy at once.At the end, Alrond, who was speechless, could not help shouting angrily. "Do you know how great the McKlaus family is?! How can the Imperial Law restrain us?""Oh really?!"Upon hearing this, Fred asked with a calm smile, "Then do you know that I represent the Imperial Law?""You..."Alrond flushed with anger immediately and shouted, "Preposterous! I just told you that this is Britain, my home country, not yours! This is not Somerland!""So what?" Fred asked with a smile."So what??"Alrond snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe that on my land, Britain, a mere Somer person would dare to kill..."Slash!Before he could finish, a golden light flashed across Alrond's face.Gold Hornet, the leader of Bloody Hands, could not even react—his whole body trembled like an electric shock passed through it. Then...his head fell to the ground with a plop! Like a ball, his head rolled into the distance
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
