Fred simply found a place to sit down before Stellar finished speaking and then nodded slightly. "Here we are.”Here?Almost in an instant, Stellar hurriedly made a sign that they had agreed before to Kenbridge.Kenbridge understood when he saw this and said to Frost, "We've been walking for a while now and looked through a few places. Let's rest for a bit!"“That’s good too.”Frost had, in fact, wanted to rest since a long time ago. He just never said anything as he was the heir of the Peaks.Kenbridge's sudden proposal to take a rest was exactly what he wanted, so without resisting at all, the group stopped to rest. As for Kenbridge, he hurried to Fred's side. He looked at Fred curiously while simultaneously pretending to be resting.The gesture that they had agreed upon before was only to be made when his life was in danger. Now that Fred had asked Stellar to signal it, did it mean that a crisis was approaching?Just when Kenbridge wanted to ask what was going on, a gloomy g
He was coming?Kenbridge had actually been a little skeptical when Fred first called him to his side.Augustine said that he was coming, yet there was no movement around them. Most importantly, no one from the Blair family had shown any reaction either.However, seeing all the Blair family members in battle stance at this moment was when he finally understood that what Fred said was true.At the same time, it also greatly increased his confidence in Fred.After all, Fred had noticed it so much earlier than the expert who Frost and Celine admired. This alone was enough to show that Fred was far more powerful than Augustine!Kenbridge immediately looked at Fred and asked, "Mr. Hoffman, what should we do next?""We're going to watch a show," Fred answered indifferently.Watch a show?Kenbridge was immediately confused again when Fred said what he did, but Stellar then pointed at the Blair family members and explained, "Aren't they all already prepared? What the Great One means is
Behind Augustine and the others, a man in ragged clothes with disheveled hair and red eyes rushed out of the darkness while panting. He grabbed a member of the Blairs and brought a palm down on him.Instantly, the man's head split in half like a watermelon as he fell to the ground.“Ah!”Kenbridge, a second-generation wealthy man, had never seen such a bloody scene before. He was about to scream but quickly covered his mouth with his hands.Beside him, Fred and Stellar were the opposite. Fred was looking at the savage-looking man before he immediately sneered and said, "How interesting. Stellar, do you see anything?""I’ve got a clue, but I'm not sure yet,” Stellar said immediately."Then, let’s continue watching!" Fred laughed.Stellar nodded immediately after he said that and stopped to watch the scene again."How did this happen? How did this happen?"Although the Blair family had not broken down into a mess after one of them died as they had been trained well, Augustine's
"Ah!!!"Practically in an instant, Frost was so frightened that he screamed like a woman in a horror movie when he saw the savage men before him wearing ferocious expressions. The faces of the rest of the Blair family members were stark pale now as they inhaled a breath of cold air. Even Celine, who had been incomparably arrogant the entire time, had lost her composure now as she screamed, "Quick! Help them!""Damn it! Move away!" As an SS-rank powerhouse, Augustine roared before he rushed out with an ugly expression.As a retainer of the Blair family, Augustine naturally understood Celine's anxiety.Not only was Frost Celine's cousin, but he was, more importantly, also the sole heir of the Peak family, the overlord of Brook City.Although the Blairs were a powerful family comparable to the Ortons in the United States, they were now in Somerland. Not only that, but many of the Blairs' secrets were involved in the operation this time.If Frost died here, not only would Celin
Indeed, Augustine's strength was impressive as an SS-rank powerhouse. However, it was a bit too much of an exaggeration to say that he was a war god descending into the world. The number one living legend and the revered Great One, Fred Hoffman, was sitting right here. Was there anyone worthy of being described as a war god descending into the world when they were before Fred? Fred was still smiling now as he shook his head. Stellar was not the same, however. Even Fred could sense the killing intent and aura surrounding him at this moment, which were more powerful than the savage men from before. His gaze was also menacing.Was it not ridiculous that the Blairs dared relax and claim that they had all been dealt with under such circumstances?"Boy, what are you smiling at?"Fred did not hide his smile and Augustine caught it, which made him snort unhappily.Fred had no intention of saying anything about it when he saw this. He just waved his hand. "It's nothing. It was funny,
"What… This…"Kenbridge.He was the heir to the Oxmond family and a second-generation wealthy man. Despite constantly being by Fred's side as they watched the events unfold before them, the savage men's ferocious expressions had given him an intense fright.He had finally regained his composure at this moment yet ended up seeing the Blairs point their guns at him when he did not even do anything. His face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shouted, "D-Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm Kenbridge Oxmond! I'm from the Oxmond family in Dawning City, not some suspicious person. We didn't even know what you were looking for before we met you. How could we have anything to do with them?The Oxmonds? Celine and Augustine both frowned slightly at what Kenbridge said.They might not know who Kenbridge was, but they had intercepted the Nymph Mountain project through the Peak family's operation with their identity as envoys from the United States. Of course, they knew that the Oxmonds had
Kenbridge was so anxious that he was almost going to cry when he saw Fred like this.Frost just continued to laugh. "Boy, crying is useless! It doesn't matter if it's you or that kid beside you who's already frightened dumb. All of you must die!" It was then that there was suddenly a soft pattering sound.Fred slowly opened his eyes and then took his time fishing out a cigarette. Standing to the side, Stellar had long been prepared with a lighter. Fred used it to light his cigarette. Then, he puffed out a cloud of smoke. His actions immediately left everyone present dumbfounded, be it Kenbridge or Frost.The way Kenbridge saw it, death was already upon their door now, yet Fred still had the mood to smoke?Frost, on the other hand, thought Fred was simply out of his mind! Was he enjoying a final smoke before his death?They had not even finished thinking about it when Fred slowly opened his mouth to speak. Smoke clouds accompanied his words."Fool."It was one simple word,
"He's going to die! He's going to die soon!"A second ago, when he was facing Kenbridge, he still looked like a high and mighty man. The most important thing was that he could not even move now. He did not have the courage to look back and could only look to Celine and the Blair family's gunmen for help.At this moment, Celine and the others had an incomparably gloomy look in their eyes. They did not even have time to respond to Frost's plea for help.It was because they knew this person…It could be said that they knew him very well!"Al! It's Al! He...he escaped?" Celine said while clenching her teeth.The Blair family gunmen who were beside Celine shuddered as they heard the name."Great One! Al seems to be the name of that super S-class powerhouse from the United States!"Stellar said this as he stood behind Fred.Fred smiled. He nodded slightly and said, "I remember! During the battle from five years ago, this guy had a really confident look—it was quite interesting! I di
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
