Objection?After the five families were suddenly taken down, Richard ascended to become the first heir of the Fox family in West Valley. At today's engagement party, he spent a huge amount of money to win the smile of the beautiful woman. When he asked if there was anyone objecting to it, that was only brought up as a joke. However, someone actually dared to come forward to oppose? Who was this person? How dare he!Almost instantly, everyone had their gaze on the man who stood out from the crowd because of these shocking words. Of course, this also included Deborah who was standing on the stage at this moment. Looking at this familiar figure in front of her, Deborah almost shouted out in shock. Fred! It was Fred! Deborah could never have imagined that the person who came to her engagement party at such a time and place would be Fre—the man who met her in Sea City and made her lose face! The man who had motivated her to climb up the social ladder and to t
He was one of the local tyrants of the surface world of West Valley, as well as the leader of the underworld! Not only was he ruthless, but he ruled over both good and evil! Although the people here were all prominent figures in the West Valley, they were still afraid of him. Obviously, this person—Flower Neck—was the kind of ruthless character who was not afraid of endangering his life. How could the crowd not be surprised to see him here?Unlike the crowd, Richard laughed unconcernedly. "Since you're willing to help this young man solve his problems, that is all very good, but you should pay attention since it is my engagement party today. Please try not to kill this person!" "Hey, hey! Don't worry, Mr. Fox! At most, I'll cripple his limbs, so he can spend the rest of his life lying down! He won't die!" Flower Neck immediately laughed. This laugh emboldened the crowd. It was clear what Richard and Flower Neck meant. They would make Fred, the guy who dared to spe
"Wha...wha...what..." The moment Flower Neck was sent flying out instantly, the eyes of everyone present directly bulged. Their mouths were agape, full of astonishment. What was going on?They thought that Fred, who appeared out of nowhere, was just a slight disturbance to the engagement party! Now that Flower Neck, the local tyrant of West Valley, had attacked in place of Richard, there should be only one ending for Fred—to be beaten up and become a cripple! Now...not only did the fierce-looking henchmen of Flower Neck fall to the ground one by one, twitching, but Flower Neck was also even sent flying by Fred with one slap? That man received just a slap, yet...he flew in such a huge arc. His head smashed directly into a wall; what kind of tremendous force was needed to do this? One palm strike left his fate unknown, it was terrifying indeed. Even those who laughed at Fred earlier were now as still as statues. Under Fred's gaze, they hurriedly lowered their heads,
Why would they do something so stupid?Watching the hand-waving and head-bowing of these people, Richard smiled more arrogantly. He coldly looked at Fred again and grunted, "Now, kneel! Beg for mercy! This is your only chance to live, or else..." Swish! With the speed of the wind, he stepped forward! Before Richard could finish the words, Fred had already arrived in front of him, one hand directly wrapped around his throat. He picked him up, his gaze cold, and asked, "Or else what?" "You..."After everything he said, Richard did not think Fred would dare to act without regard. The speed of Fred's hands and the coldness of his eyes made him panic almost instantly."You...what are you going to do?" "To take a life and make them pay with their own blood!" Fred answered indifferently, and the force in his hands immediately increased. Richard could feel his own life quickly fading away as Fred choked him with his hands. Richard instantly exclaimed, "You can't kill
Silence...great silence. No! It was unprecedented silence. The banquet hall, which had been noisy a moment ago, turned strangely silent because of Stellar's words.As for Richard's face that was screaming, it was as if it suddenly froze in place. Even when his neck was being held by Fred in mid-air, he did not struggle. It was all because of what Stellar had said. The five families of the West Valley were annihilated just by a word from the Great One.The word "Great One"... From the way Stellar just treated Fred, as well as the name he used, it was not difficult to know that it was referring to Fred. The five families of West Valley...was it the same five families that he knew? The five families that had dominated that West Valley for so many years but were wiped out in the time span of just a night? How was this possible? In an instant, Richard felt like he was going to soil his pants, but he still held onto his last bit of hope and looked at Fred with dif
"No! No! No!!!" Feeling his life slipping away and seeing Fred's eyes that were full of killing intent, Richard finally broke down completely, shouting with snot running down his nose and tears streaming from his eyes. "I didn't kill Spencer! I didn't kill Spencer!" As he spoke, he also desperately pointed at Deborah, shouting, "It's her! It's that b*tch! She was the one who seduced me and colluded with me to bring down Spencer's company. Yesterday...Spencer wanted to confront me because he found some evidence, and I...I just beat him up, but I definitely did not try to kill him! It was...this b*tch, she...she jumped into Spencer's arms and pushed him down while Spencer let his guard down! It wasn't me! It was her!"Perhaps it was the fear of Fred or the fear of death that made him say this. At this moment, he could not care less. In order to save his life, Richard told the whole story of the dirty deeds between him and Deborah, and the details of the murder of Spencer. The s
"Fred, is Spencer really..." The next morning, at the cemetery on the outskirts of West Valley… Looking at the tombstone in front of her, coupled with the unknown but somewhat familiar photo, Wanda had a look of disbelief in her eyes. The joy caused by Fred's visit was replaced by a faint sadness at this moment. After all, they were all from Peace Blossom Village. Wanda was Fred's sister and knew of their close relationship. She thought of Spencer yesterday afternoon and heard Fred mention him. Now that he was gone, Wanda had a hard expression on her face. "It's all because of Deborah! Spencer was such a nice person—how could she do something like this to him!” "She got what she deserved in the end." Fred said calmly as offered flowers. Deborah only had her looks to rely on. It was because of her beauty that she was able to meet Spencer, then betrayed him and threw herself into Richard's arms. She joined hands with Richard to bring down Spencer's company and
After a simple lunch, they were ready to drive back. In the car, Wanda was still looking at Fred who seemed a little depressed. She thought about it and said, "Fred, Opal asked me to tell you that she would be arriving late today because of a public announcement she had to attend. I forgot about it!" "Silly girl, why did you only tell me after we came down the mountain?" Fred immediately shook his head and spoke with a smile. "So, where to now?" "You should go pick her up, of course!"Wanda spoke again. "Fred, did you know that when you last left the Cloud Province, Opal has been raving on and on about you for days? This time, when she heard you were coming, I had to bear with her raving every day. "About the announcement today… It was arranged to be yesterday, but she did not know that you were coming today, so Opal kept pushing it back until there was no choice but to make it today. So, shouldn't you go pick her up and surprise her?" "Okay, okay!" After being ad
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
