It was past 10 p.m. and the front yard of the Hans residence was filled with joyous chatter and laughter.

Elder Han had been promoted.

Theoretically speaking, a man in his 60s was considered a senior in the political field. It was only a matter of time before he would officially retire, and further promotions were rare. They would rather recruit new blood.

This unexpected promotion also meant that even when Elder Hans officially retired, the Hans’ social standing would still be higher than it was now. It was an event that called for great celebrations.

If not for the fact that Elder Hans was a politician and it would not look good for his image to celebrate grandly, the Hans would have invited countless guests and hung up festive lights to celebrate.

“Grandfather, how about some cheese to cleanse your palate? It's Wyke Farms Cheddar. It’s hard to find on the market, you know.” Sookie walked over with a smile when she saw her grandfather admiring the moon above. She put the pla

    The large door opened, revealing two young men who walked into the front yard one after another.“Hey! Didn’t I tell you two to wait outside?” Grant was about to scold them for entering without permission when Elder Hans frowned. One of the young men was none other than Fred Hoffman.‘Has he finally understood what I told him? Then he must be here to ask for my favor and guidance.’With this in mind, Elder Hans turned to Grant. “It's alright. I know who they are.” “Yes, Mr. Hans.” Grant excused himself and stood to the side. Neither Grant nor Elder Hans saw the shock in Sookie’s expression. ‘How is he alright? What the hell happened? Did David leave Autumn alone in the end?’ Sookie rejected the possibility of her last thought as it crossed her mind. Despite being the heir to the Gaunts, David was a pervert through and through. There was no way he would stop himself from making advances at Autumn. ‘So what’s with Fred’s sudden arrival? Maybe he found out about what happ

    Fred wanted them to give him an explanation after listening to the recording.What was with that last bit saying that he was fine with either a person or a life?What was the meaning of this? Just who did he think he was?Standing to the side, Grant immediately stepped forward to reprimand Fred when he saw how he dared speak to Elder Hans so presumptuously within his walls.Before he could even say anything, however, he froze. Not only him, but Elder Hans and Sookie as well.“S-So basically, I-I’ve been doing some business with Caesar, the Hans' heir, right? And then his sister, Sookie, called me and offered Miss Autumn to me! Then that bitch said if you came to look for me, then I should just cripple you and then send you to her!”That was David's voice. Lloyd had recorded him. After playing the recording, Elder Hans looked at Sookie pale-faced and asked, "What's going on?""I-I don't know! How would I know what’s going on?”Sookie immediately began to deny and quibble as pa

    He was practically in over his own head!Sookie immediately snorted and said, “To tell you the truth, I did do all that, but so what? I’m the eldest lady of the Hans family while you’re nothing but a down-and-out trash! Do you think you have the right to request me to kneel before you?”"So, you’re admitting to it?”Fred’s expression was as blank as it had been when he heard this. “Then kneel,” he said. Kneel? Sookie was about to sneer and throw ridicule in his direction at once, but before she could even do any of that, Lloyd, who had been standing behind Fred, came forward and slapped her across the face without holding back despite her being a woman. The force behind the slap, which was marked by the sound it created, instantly left five fingerprints on Sookie's rather good-looking face. This was not the last of it. After Lloyd slapped her, he shot his leg forward, followed by a crack. Both of Sookie’s legs broke as she fell to the ground, screaming.Elder Hans had bee

    The night seemed particularly dark over Capital City. The atmosphere was also extremely heavy.The deputy general of the Six Ministries' headquarters of Capital City, Warren, was used to getting off work on the hour once the work day was over. However, he was, at the moment, still in the office despite it being five or six hours past the end of the work day. His ire was directed at one person, and this person was none other than his boss, Leonard!Although Leonard was the general and Warren his deputy, they did not really go against one another like how people in their positions ordinarily did. On the contrary, they always got along like two peas in a pod. Hence, it was rare for Warren to lose his temper at Leonard!Things were different this time, however, as Warren's soaring anger could even be felt by the staff in the next office. "I see how it is, Leonard! The Great One’s arrival in Capital City is such a major event, yet you actually hid it from me?” Warren snorted with an

    “It makes sense to think that.”Leonard nodded, but then the smile dropped from his face and he shook his head again. “But Simon Fuller passed away so many years ago. Despite the friendly relationship, what use is it considering how arrogant Elder Hans and his family are now? Even the Great One has gone looking for them. How could they know what kind of existence the Great One is?”Leonard could not help but look out the window when he said this. "I hope the Hans family can see that the Great One is already conceding and admit to their wrongs so that this can all be resolved! Otherwise...""What else can we do otherwise? Are they going to try to leverage connections to make a move on the Great One? They’d be even more brazen than I thought,” Warren immediately replied coldly.“Just who do they think is the Great One? If anyone dares meddle in this matter, I want to see how they’re going to get past us first!”Seeing this, Leonard shook his head again. "It's not just us! There are

    Finally, he had arrived!Practically the moment the voice sounded outside, joy immediately appeared on the faces of the Hans family members who were shocked by Fred's words just a moment ago.This was because it was obvious that the person who arrived at the Hans residence at this moment was undoubtedly the trump card that the Hans family had obtained from leveraging their connections in Capital City. The way the Hans saw it, regardless of whichever trump card it was, they could easily put Fred to death. Furthermore, the Hans did not have to dirty their hands doing it."Sookie! Your legs!”The first person to enter the door was the eldest son of the Hans family and Sookie's eldest brother, Jordan Hans!He already had a general understanding of the situation when he first arrived but had not dared believe it.After all, who would dare lay a hand on his sister considering she was part of the Hans family? That sounded like hearsay.However, he noticed Sookie’s obviously broken le

    "Not only him! His family too! And his friends! I want anyone related to him dead! Make him regret ever provoking me, Sookie Hans! Better yet, make him regret ever being born in this world!”Dead?Edward was not surprised by her answer but still shot a look at Elder Hans. After all, he did only just come here today to appease Elder Hans.Although Elder Hans was about to retire soon, his promotion to a higher-ranking official at this time was not something to be underestimated. This was because his influence and the connections he had would remain significant even after he retired.Considering the circumstances, Edward would, of course, want to curry favor with him. Edward noticed Elder Hans’ brow trembling faintly and wondered if it was because of his killing intent. Elder Hans had already been like this ever since Fred dared do what he did to Sookie. However, he had always been famous for being someone who never got his hands dirty. Not only that, he had been weighing the pros

    "Who the hell are you?! How dare you open fire in the capital…” yelled Derek angrily after hearing the gunshots that came out of nowhere and seeing his wounded men fall to the ground. When he heard the 'Six Ministries' being mentioned by the man standing by the door, however, Derek was astonished and choked back whatever else he wanted to say.The Hans family had also tensed up, and they broke into a cold sweat.These people were from the Six Ministries' headquarters in Capital City. The higher-ups in this special department possessed the power to oversee and supervise those below them, while those in lower positions had the right to inspect and monitor the actions of their subordinates.Simply put, they were a terrifying existence.There was a saying within Capital City—'Be not afraid of the Disciplinary Committee’s invitation for tea but the Six Ministries knocking on your door.'Although the Disciplinary Committee’s invitation to tea essentially meant the end of one’s politic

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

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 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
