In the evening… The glow from the sunset painted the sky red. Fred walked slowly out of the Gaunt household and looked vaguely south. The Gaunts and Fraleys were Fred's last stops in the Capital City. Now that the matter had been settled, it was naturally time for him to leave. However, just as Fred had taken a few steps... "Great One, please stay where you are!" He turned around—it was none other than Bruce, the Director of the Nation's Six Fifth Bureau. He watched as Bruce walked forward and first bowed slightly to Fred. Then he said, "Great One, there is someone that wishes to see you." ‘See me?’ Fred smiled slightly at his words and gave a meaningful laugh. "Since he's already here, let him come out on his own!" "I..." Bruce scratched his head in embarrassment. Before he could speak, a white figure had strolled in from the shadows of the evening sun. With the appearance of this person, the cool gusts of evening air suddenly seemed to freeze solid
"It's up to me to protect the rivers and mountains of Somerland!!!" Tap— Without responding or saying anything back, Fred just slowly turned around with a smile on his face and stepped away.Gustafson looked at Fred who was silent and gave no rebuttal. At first, he was a bit pleased, but a moment later, his whole face collapsed in depression. "I...I can't beat him! I'm no match for that guy who’s boasting so much..." After he said that, Gustafson let out a long sigh. Finally, he lightly arched his hands at Fred's back, then turned around and disappeared with a tap of his feet.... At Capital City International Airport. On the day after leaving the Gaunt family home, Fred arrived here alone after simply packing up his luggage. The reason he was alone was naturally because the others each had their own things to do.Stellar, as the head of the Walker Family, one of the eight great families in the martial artist world, had only come to Capital City to visit his frien
It was a middle-aged man in a suit.With a plump face and eyes that were as narrow as a slit, he was currently grabbing the panicking flight attendant. There was a mischievous look on his face. The reason was actually quite simple. Seeing that the tall flight attendant had just covered Fred with a blanket, he also took the initiative to ask for the same service. He took advantage of the tall flight attendant's proximity to embrace her in his arms, which led to the current altercation. "Sir, please!" The other flight attendant on the side saw this and immediately came up to persuade him. However… With a loud snap, before the other flight attendant could finish her words, the middle-aged man slapped her in the face. Five bright red fingerprints surfaced on her cheek."F*ck! I paid good money to fly on this airplane! What's wrong with asking her to drink with me?" After knocking the stewardess to the ground, the middle-aged man once again proudly groped the tall ste
This time, the middle-aged man blew his top. He ditched the stewardess and walked toward Fred. He snarled, "You little son of a b*tch, did you not f*cking hear what I said just now? I told you, there are many people you just shouldn’t mess with..." Boom! Before he finished his sentence, Fred had already thrown out a foot into the middle-aged man's large belly. Like a leather ball, the man instantly rolled backward several times due to Fred's kick, before finally crashing head-first into the first-class cabin door. "In this world, there are few people I can’t mess with!" Fred said blandly. The tall stewardess at the side originally thought that she was going to get hurt. To her surprise, Fred abruptly came forward and subdued the middle-aged man in one go. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Looking at the middle-aged man lying on the ground and wailing, the tall stewardess hurriedly picked up the other stewardess who had been hit. Then she went to Fred and
"Trouble finally comes knocking, eh?"Fred smirked and shook his head as he watched the middle-aged man and a group of people in black suddenly pour through the airport gate.In fact, Fred could tell from the middle-aged man’s resentful eyes that this man would never let it go after being taught a lesson by Fred on the plane.The purpose of Fred's trip was to find some ancient medicine and fulfill Director Hunter Walls’ lifelong dream. More importantly, he ignored this matter because he was on a plane at the time.However, the middle-aged man obviously did not feel the same way.The man was confident that with someone by his side, he struck a very intimidating figure as he stepped up to Fred at this moment."Little b*stard! So, we meet again!"The middle-aged man led someone to stop Fred from leaving and sneered ferociously. "Weren’t you acting like a big shot on the plane just now? Now that I have my men here, you can try again...”Smack!Before the middle-aged man finished,
"You...stay away! Stay away from me!"The middle-aged man looked at Fred's expressionless eyes that seemed to be smiling. Then he looked back at his subordinates who were lying on the ground. He felt regretful instantly!He thought Fred was just a young nobody who only had a few tricks up his sleeve!He brought so many men with him just to make sure he could deal with Fred easily.Who would have thought that Fred was this powerful? All his men were down in the blink of an eye!After all, he only turned his head to glance at Tyne for a mere second!With such insane power, how could he not regret his actions?Who was this man?Since the middle-aged man dared to provoke Fred, there was no way Fred would listen to his pleas.In the next second, Fred grabbed the middle-aged man by the throat and picked him up. The man wailed like a baby."Fred! Just forget it!"Just when Fred was about to teach the middle-aged man a lesson he would never forget, Tyne shouted and trotted over. "Do
"Mr. Fred, I've already made an appointment with the Coiled Serpent Gang!""As I mentioned before, the Coiled Serpent Gang is a local tyrant in Delta Valley. I believe that with their help, it will be easy to find anything!"Early the next morning…After resting overnight, Fortune went to Fred's door and waited patiently after receiving the news that his hotel attendant had delivered breakfast to Fred's room in the morning.Only after the breakfast cart was pushed out of the room did he carefully knock on the door.He was behaving like this because after he went back last night, he immediately asked someone to find out more about the Fantastic Group’s chairman. Although he did not obtain any photos, the fact that the chairman’s last name was Hoffman was more than enough!The Fantastic Group’s chairman with assets worth hundreds of billions was right in front of him!Some time ago, the Fantastic Group was reported to have been hollowed out by someone internally. Within a few mont
The car only drove for slightly over ten minutes before reaching its destination.It was an ordinary-looking manor, but clearly had its secrets."Fred, this manor isn’t as simple as it seems!"Being a top student in economics, Tyne’s eyes lit up when she saw the manor in front of them. "When I was abroad, I saw similar manors like this too! These manors are different from the manors of wealthy people. Most of them are built with a secret basement, where private transactions could be carried out. I remember that an upperclassman of mine dealt in real estate—he often brought people from foreign underground forces to purchase real estate like these! I never expected to see one here in Somerland!""Miss Adams, you’ve got a good eye!"Although Tyne was talking to Fred, Fortune overheard her on the side and gave her a thumbs up.However, Fortune added in a whisper, "Miss Adam, we can talk about this now, but we can’t say these kinds of things when we meet them later! Somerland is diffe
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
