Silence, deathly silence. The hospital itself was already a quiet place, and to hear silence should not be something alarming at all.However, Stellar could acutely detect that at that moment, the spot where Fred stood was different from the rest of the quiet hospital. It gave off a vibe of trepidation. In fact, any ordinary who walked passed them might even vomit in fear from the pressure Fred was giving off. It was all because Fred, the revered Great One who stood beside Stellar, was furious. Stellar knew that this was no ordinary anger but rather one that threatened to overwhelm everyone in waves. It was much worse than the fury Fred oozed when he returned from the island that was Bloody Hands’ headquarters.Things were bad when Fred returned from Bloody Hands.Despite Stellar and the Red Letter’s ultimate defeat, Jill and Black Lightning had shown Stellar and the Red Letter Army mercy so that they could reveal Fred’s secret. All they did was essentially incapacitate
He would go and have a look when he was free?They might have barely taken the doctor’s words for what they were if they had missed the conversation between the two nurses who passed by just now.The problem was Fred and Stellar had heard it, so…“Give back the previous ward. I'll only say this one more time,” Fred said indifferently, his tone and expression apathetic.Give back?The doctor with a crew cut immediately laughed when he heard that.Did he not vacate the ward secretly to please that distinguished patient?What reason was there for him to revert the arrangements now that the patient had already moved in?He immediately said with a snort, "You think the hospital is your home? That you can change wards however you see fit?”"Were we the ones who wanted to change them?" Stellar said immediately after hearing the words.Who would have expected the doctor to catch onto this statement and use it against them? He immediately located the agreement that Fred had signed bef
"Mr. Wesler, why did you come out?"The haughty woman’s expression immediately changed when she saw the man come out in a wheelchair. She hurried forward and said softly, "Your leg injury is serious. You need to rest properly!”Worick obviously did not appreciate the accented, soft words at all. He just snorted coldly and said, "How am I to rest when it’s so noisy outside?”Saying that, the man turned to look at Vector, who was at the side, and hummed. “Medical troubles were often mentioned in the news in the past. I never expected I would be caught in one myself today! It’s outrageous that trouble would come knocking right on the door of the ICU. Mr. Sohn, the security measures in your hospital are wholly inadequate!"Worick did not discriminate between them at all and directly designated Fred as the one who was the troublemaker with a cold expression.Vector’s face turned pale at this moment as he quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Wesler, you… You’re right! I… I’ll get peop
Someone amid the crowd finally recognized who Worick was and exclaimed, "Isn’t… Isn’t he the newly appointed general of the Six Ministries in Transcendalia? He… He’s someone similar to the head of the Royal Secret Service. He’s not someone to be messed with!”Everyone's expressions changed again the moment this was said.As for the female secretary standing next to Worick, she lifted her head up high in an extremely arrogant manner and looked at Fred pitifully.As the saying went, a new broom swept clean!She knew that Worick had been wanting to make changes ever since he took office yet had not been able to figure out a proper reason. Fred’s reckless behavior right now was like serving said reason on a platter.As for Worick, he finally stopped hiding who he was when he heard someone point out his identity. He looked at Fred with a sneer. "Boy, do you still think you can afford to mess with me now? Let me spell this out for you, if you continue to cause trouble like this, you’ll
Hoffman?Of course, most importantly, Leonard could admit that this was a voice that he would never ever forget!As soon as he heard his voice, Leonard immediately knew who was on the other end of the phone!The living legend, the revered Great One!After knowing who he was, however, Leonard became more nervous and shocked as he asked with some uncertainty, "Great One, you… you said someone wants to… throw you in prison?”“Yes.” On the other end of the call, Fred continued calmly, "The general of the Six Ministries in Transcendalia, Wesler."Leonard was completely astonished then.A general of the Six Ministries?Wesler?Where… Where did someone like that come from?He… He actually dared claim that he would throw the living legend, the revered Great One who stood at the pinnacle of the world and an existence that was comparable to the superiors of Somerland, into prison?Was this some sick April Fool's joke?Even so, he should not be joking about courting death so directly
General Wesler's words were abruptly cut off by a pleasant ringing sound, causing him to frown.Just when he was about to ask his secretary beside him to end the call, Fred spoke up and said lightly, “I advise you to answer it.”Answer it? What did he mean by that?General Wesler was immediately puzzled. His female secretary beside him hurried forward and said, "General Wesler, it's… it's the deputy general of the Provincial Six Ministries, Deputy General Halle!"Deputy General Halle?General Wesler answered the phone with some suspicion and then heard the deputy general’s voice from the other end. “Are you Worick Wesler of the Transcendalia General Administration?""Y-Yes, it's me! Deputy General Halle, what are your instructions?" General Wesler hurriedly asked, his heart skipping a beat. Could Fred have gone to him just now?However, just when General Wesler was about to ask about it, the man on the other end of the call said with a sneer, "I heard you’re pretty good! To an e
Someone he could not afford to offend?There was, of course, no more space for doubt when Worick heard this, and he nodded desperately. The arrogance and self-confidence he had before had long since disappeared.With just one call, Fred had not only gotten the general and provincial general, who were all higher in position than him, to give him a call one after another, but even his immediate boss, Leonard Wolfe, the general of the Six Ministries' headquarters in Capital City, had personally called him.Was this not because he was an existence that he could afford to offend?Hence, Worick practically collapsed to the ground and begged for mercy. "Didn’t you… Didn’t you want the ward back? I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you right now!"As for Vector, who was standing at the side, and the female secretary, who had been extremely arrogant before, they were also looking at Fred while trembling. They did not dare say a word.Since Worick was already like this in front of Fred, h
"Fortunately, I managed to get my old and decrepit self here in time. I’m also confident in my medical skills, so he'll survive this critical period and recover fine. As for when he'll wake up, this is beyond my control.”Since he and Fred were old acquaintances and were connected through Wester, Hunter was not restrained at all as he said directly after exiting the operating room.“Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Walls.”Fred immediately nodded to express his gratitude. To the side, Stellar and Hans also let out a sigh of relief.Life was the most important thing, after all.Although Zamir was not awake yet, they knew that he was at least going to be alright after hearing what Hunter said.However, Fred's face then darkened again.Many of Zamir's bones were fractured, and his internal organs were bleeding, not to mention the serious blow he received to the head. Considering his injuries, there was no doubt Zamir must have suffered inhuman abuse before this!"It’s obvious that
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
