Henrik shot a glare at Otto before continuing, “Many of us here do in fact possess some knowledge of medicine, but the poison they used was incredibly potent. It wasn't something we had encountered before."Fortunately, the legendary physician family immediately sent their people to our village. Not only did they neutralize the poison, but they even brought the person responsible back to their place."As for the way everyone reacted when you arrived with your group, Mr. Hoffman, it’s because we thought you were those people. So, we quickly hid.”Henrik looked at Fred solemnly after revealing all of this.Although Henrik said nothing, Fred could already tell from his eyes what he was thinking. He would not reveal where the family was for their safety. "We were entrusted a responsibility; we'll carry it out with loyalty.”“If it’s an inconvenience for you to reveal where they are to me, Mr. Henrik, I'll look for them myself,” Fred replied lightly, and he was not joking about it.
In the evening, Fred and Tyne were taking a stroll along a small road after dinner while holding hands.Wesler, on the other hand, was already drunk and unconscious.“Are you cold?” Fred asked curiously when he felt Tyne tighten her hold on his hand. Tyne sighed. "No, I'm just worried.”Fred did not need Tyne to say it for him to know what she was worried about.She was definitely worried about those who had been poisoned. Tyne had been by Fred's side ever since he moved out of the Cadman household. They went from not knowing each other to becoming joyful adversaries. Now, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Although Tyne was still unaware of his titles as the living legend and the man who stood at the pinnacle of the world, she knew he was powerful.Even though Tyne would be worried if he were to go fight those people, she would definitely keep the worry from her face so that he would not see it.There was only one reason why she was worried now. She was worried about those
When Henrik saw Fred disappear, he knew then that it was because he was worried that something might have happened and wanted to keep him from danger.Thinking this, Henrik could only put his hands together silently and pray. “Oh, god of the mountains, please bless this young man and ensure his safe return.”…Halfway up, Fred smiled lightly as he quickly ascended the mountain. “This is indeed a picturesque and beautiful place. It evokes memories,” he mused.The delicate mountain scenery was reminiscent of the world of warlords that Fred had journeyed through back then. Both were sparsely populated yet picturesque locations. This was why his ascension up the mountain in search of the Legendary Physician family made Fred feel like he was reliving the past.However, Fred frowned slightly right after taking just a few steps.Just when he was approaching the top of the mountain, a thick fog suddenly shrouded the once-clear mountain, blurring the road ahead of him.A hoarse, eerie la
"The head! The head is here!" someone exclaimed, and the moment their voice resonated, all those who were part of the legendary physician family went from looking resentful and reluctant to excited as they looked up into the sky.There in mid-air was a man with red lips and white teeth approaching them swiftly as if he were flying.Flying?Fred, who was witnessing this scene while watching from the side, frowned slightly.Although it was not a difficult feat for a powerful warlord to be able to leap tens of meters high, Fred did not sense a warlord’s aura from Tedusius, the patriarch of the legendary physician family. It was the same for the rest of the family members as well.To put it bluntly, Fred’s current observation told him that there was no warlord among the family of physicians. So what was with the flying?Fred's frown became even deeper at the sight of a little girl about 13 to 14 years old who had also flown here with Tedusius.This little girl did not fly to the pla
"I…”Tears began forming in Hanna’s huge eyes the moment Tedesius admonished her. “I-I'll send him back, then!" she responded aggrievedly. "He's already here, so just let him stay."Tedesius waved his hand. He then looked at Fred and said, "It’s so much more dangerous here than you can imagine, so don't say anything or even move a muscle. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you.”After saying that, Tedesius turned his attention away from Fred and once again focused it on the ugly woman in front of him. She was the representative of the group of strangely dressed people. "The head of the legendary physician family, hehe! Finally, you've shown yourself!”Without waiting for Tedesius to speak, the ugly woman’s expression turned resentful as she continued, "I thought you were already dead!"Tedesius frowned at that and asked, "You know who I am?”“Know you? Hehe, it’s more than that! We have irreconcilable enmity between us!”The ugly woman suddenly waved her palm. The bla
"Sir!!”"Daddy!"Every single person from the legendary physician family exclaimed practically the moment Tedesius got hit. Hanna was even blinking her big eyes from immense worry.They had not been able to fully process what happened between the ugly woman and Tedesius just now.The ugly woman had first attacked Hanna to distract Tedesius. She then seized the opportunity to sneak an attack on him. This much they saw!They had all fully experienced how powerful the ugly woman's poison was before Tedesius arrived. Now seeing him get struck head-on, how could they not be worried?Everyone, including Hanna, wanted to go up to him, but he dismissed them with a booming exclamation. "It's poison. Don't come here!"Tedesius’ white sleeves fluttered amidst the white smoke and dispelled it completely. However, his complexion was much worse than it was before, with blood even flowing from the corner of his mouth.Despite the obvious signs of poisoning, Tedesius immediately took out a pil
Thinking this, Fred finally unclasped his hands from behind his back and brought them forward.The ugly woman who had the upper hand now had no idea that the person in front of her about to make his move was a living legend. In her mind, Tedesius was her only opponent. After letting out a peal of hideous cackling, the ugly woman then slowly said again, "Now, I’m giving you one last chance to hand over the Nightingale plaque and present it to me with both hands. If you do that, I’ll stop here and let your family go. If you refuse, however, then you can't blame me!”“D-Don’t worry.”Coughing, Tedesius clutched his chest as he stood up slowly with Hanna's support. "Ancient Medicine was the one that bestowed us the Nightingale plaque. Because of this, we must ensure Ancient Medicine is used for the benefit of the people! We won't let you get away with the plaque, let alone destroy it! Even if our family were to be destroyed because of this, we won't hesitate."We will do whatever it
He wanted to give it a try, but who was he?Everyone almost immediately looked in the voice’s direction when they heard it, only to frown at who they saw. The voice belonged to none other than Fred, the person Hanna had brought over.When Hanna realized it was Fred who had spoken, she quickly grabbed him and complained in a dissatisfied manner, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to say anything?”Every other member of the family also snorted coldly, their expressions ugly.In their minds, Fred was just some ordinary bloke who came to them seeking medical treatment. Tedeisus, the head of their family, was not a match for this ugly woman from South Carlos. Yet this ordinary man had stepped forward out of nowhere. The way they saw it, he was essentially someone who had an exaggerated view of his own abilities. He did not know just how great the gap between them was!"Young man, I appreciate your kindness.”Tedesius was also looking at Fred with a dissatisfied expressio
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
