Terrence Whittaker, the deputy commander of the Eastern General Warzone.Joseph Hopkins, first-class strategist.Varis Sylvander, second-class strategist.Terror struck the hearts of all the Hans family members present when they heard each title reported. At this moment, Derek’s lips were also trembling as a cold sweat broke out on his pale face. This was because all three of the men were major figures who held important positions and great power within the Eastern General Warzone. This was especially true for Terrence, who was the deputy commander of the Eastern General Warzone.Since Commander Arnold was injured, Terrence was now the highest officer of the Eastern General Warzone and Derek’s immediate boss as he was just the strategist of the Capital City Battlefield, which was under the Eastern General Warzone’s jurisdiction.For someone with a status like this to appear here at this moment and greet Fred the same way Leonard and Warren had before meant that Fred was…"Give
"Hehe, if you wish so much to die, then give it a shot! Let's see if it’s the flourishing Hans family that will reign supreme or some washed-up former general! You overestimate yourself if you think you can fight us!”Derek had completely offended Fred, be it the moment he just arrived or when he ordered his men to open fire on him. It was no surprise then that he was now on Elder Hans’ side."So you’re just some regiment general, huh? You're practically on the same level as me and yet you want to fight the Hans family to the end? How ridiculous!”As the Hans family let fly their ridicule and mockery, Terrence, who was the deputy commander of the Eastern General Warzone, remained silent. The same went for Joseph and Varis, who were both the first-class strategist and second-class strategist respectively.Even Leonard and Warren just shook their heads and scoffed.Fred got up slowly while the Hans family sneered at him. He said calmly, "When did I say I was the former general of th
The living legend? The revered Great One who stood at the pinnacle of the world?Elder Hans had no idea what any of it meant since he had not reached the level where he would have that knowledge.Yet, he understood what Terrence had said about him being someone comparable to the higher authority. The final accusation of his wanting to revolt and betray the country shocked him even more. Even all the Hans family members who were present had turned pale as they trembled. Fred was probably not even 30 years old yet. Not only that, Simon, who was his backer and the only person he could rely on, had passed away many years ago!For someone who had no support, Fred should be a useless piece of trash, just as Sookie had put it. He should be an ant that could not compare to the Hans family.He should be a joke!How could he suddenly be an existence that was comparable to a higher existence?How powerful must he be to achieve this?'He would be an exceptional man.'He's young and impet
There was incomparable terror.Panic and anxiety took over the other Hans family members present, and their emotions were not only directed at Fred but also at Sookie.This was because anyone that Sookie latched onto would be doomed!She had dragged Jordan down first, and now, he was about to join her. She then involved Derek, and he was executed on the spot! How could anyone not be afraid in a situation like this? How could they not feel the terror?Some time passed before Elder Hans finally gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He did this for no other reason than Sookie and Jordan being the only two youths of the Hans family. How could be willing to let them go just like that?“Fred, at the end of the day, Simon and I served as officials during the same time. Sookie is indeed at fault this time, but can you just—”“No, I can’t,” Fred cut him off. “I’ll make sure their bodies are intact seeing as you were friends with Simon.”“You…” Elder Hans instantly trembled at that.Thi
The night was silent.On the morning of the second day, it was as if nothing had happened. For those of a particular level, however, they avoided discussing the incident from the night before like it was taboo.Be it the Hans, the Gaunts, or the Fralies, they were all prominent families in Capital City. Although none of them dominated, they were undoubtedly renowned as distinguished and influential families. However, the heirs of the Gaunt family as well as the Fraley family tragically passed away overnight, while the Hans family completely disappeared from Capital City.Who would be blind to the unusualness of a situation like this? Even so, Fred did not pay any attention to all of this.It was not just because these families were not worthy of his attention. More importantly, it was because it was time to act on his purpose for having snuck into the capital.That afternoon, Lloyd was laughing and chatting away by Fred’s side as usual.In the blink of an eye, however, his ex
Of course, these were all just afterthoughts. It was not long before Fred opened his mouth and asked, "What brings the master of the Walker family here so late at night? Do you have something to discuss with me?" "Indeed!" Stellar nodded slightly and said, "For one thing, I learned that you were at the capital, and I just came to pay my respects. Other than that, I'd like to report on the situation of the Nation’s Elder." "How is the Nation’s Elder nowadays?" Fred asked with a sniff. "He is said to be sick and under care, but in reality, his freedom is restricted!" Stellar spoke again in a serious tone. "Overnight, the situation has changed! First, Arnold was attacked and got seriously injured. Then, all the guards around him were swapped out under the pretext of strengthening security! Of course, these guards couldn’t fool my eyes—they were all high-ranking warlords!" "All high-ranking warlords? How can this be?" Lloyd was instantly surprised and exclaimed with
The same feeling Fred gave Stellar? Almost the instant Stellar's words came out of his mouth, Lloyd blurted, "No way! Never!" What kind of person was Fred? He was the living legend, the pinnacle of the world, the revered Great One! An existence that was unrivaled in this world! Fred's aura was not only unique but also incomparably strong! It was impossible for Stellar, as the head of the Stellar Family, to not be aware of Fred's true strength. However, he had actually said that someone displayed an aura that was extremely similar to Fred's. Did this mean that there was someone on par with Fred in terms of strength? How could Lloyd, someone who had always revered Fred as a god, accept this? Stellar obviously understood Lloyd's feelings. He immediately arched his hand at Fred and said, ''My Lord, I...I may have slipped up! Maybe...I sensed it incorrectly!" "Not necessarily!" Fred waved his hand slightly and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about thi
Accompanied by nightfall, Stellar made a light step on the ground he was standing on and disappeared into the darkness. Lloyd bowed slightly to Fred and took a step to leave as well. The inner courtyard of the quadrangle that was bustling a moment ago also became quiet at this moment. Fred poured a drink for himself, then murmured, "The Hansen Gentry has prepared such a great gift for me, I wonder when it'll arrive? "Hehe, how rare it is for me to be looking forward to something for once!" ... In a certain villa in the Capital City… Daniel, who always had an arrogant demeanor, was behaving differently from usual. He was standing by the side very quietly. There was but one reason for this. It was the two people sitting in the lobby of the villa at this moment. Their statuses were both higher than his. They were the third elder of the Hansen Gentry—Daniel's father, Daram… …As well as the Hansen Gentry's family head, Gustavo! "Daniel, tell your uncle briefly
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
