“How old are you, young lady?“Do you have a boyfriend?“My son is single too! He’s handsome and very successful. Why not consider him?”It was noon, and they were at the 4S car dealership store’s restaurant.Fred and his parents had gotten a little tired looking at cars, and it also happened to be lunchtime, so they came to the restaurant. They also learned about the young saleswoman’s name.Opal Santos was a university student working part-time at the store.With how eager Iris was about Fred getting married and becoming a grandma, coupled with the fact that Opal was a nice and pretty lady, Iris naturally made a move.They had only just started learning about each other before Iris began to market how great Fred was to her. Iris seemed to have forgotten that they were here to buy a car.Opal did not know whether she should stand or sit down, and her cheeks were flushed red.Fred pitied her and quickly told Iris, “Mom! We’re here to get a car, not find me a wife.”“Oh! Right
Not to mention that they did not hear any ruckus at all.However, they also understood that Miss Belle was deliberately troubling Opal. They had no other choice but to step forward and surround the four of them.Opal paled even further but stood her ground and said, “Miss Belle… you have no right to kick us out!”“I have no right?”Miss Belle scoffed. “I’m telling you, my word is the law in this store! If I want you and these penniless fools out of the store, I’ll have you thrown out of the store!”Miss Belle turned to the security guards to urge them, “What are you doing just standing there? Go on and throw them out…”“You’re not going to stop me this time, Mom?”A voice rang out.Fred, who had been silent this whole time, asked with a smile when he looked down and found that Iris had let go of him.Indeed. Iris, who had been grabbing onto Fred tightly to prevent him from bursting in anger, had released her grip some time ago. Iris replied angrily, “Nope! Some people just n
Force of habit?Those who had gathered to watch the commotion were shocked when they heard what Fred said.Be more careful next time?That meant there was going to be a next time!’They had never seen a man as arrogant as Fred in their life.Excluding the few customers in the 4S car dealership store, most of the people here were its employees. Like Opal, they knew that Miss Belle’s outrageous behavior stemmed from her ambiguous relationship with the owner of the store, Mr. Ward.Mr. Ward might just be the owner of this 4S car dealership store, but this was also the only Benz 4S car dealership store in Sea City.Mr. Ward was not someone to offend lightly.Now that Fred had slapped Mr. Ward’s mistress, everyone believed he would be in great trouble.Opal quickly tugged Iris’ arm. “Mrs. Yates… you should leave quickly! Before Mr. Ward comes out and it’s too late!”“I…”Iris was an ordinary village lady, after all. After hearing what Opal said, she began to feel worried.Howeve
However, Miss Belle no longer paid her any attention and wrapped her arms around Mr. Ward’s as she said, “Mr. Ward, that Maybach costs more than a million Somer Dollars, but she damaged it! Now that she’s here to do it again, you can’t just let her off so easily! And that broke bastard too! He must be working together with that little b*tch! You can’t let either of them off!”“Don’t worry!”Mr. Ward smiled as Miss Belle leaned on him. He patted her hand to placate her. Then, he scoffed and turned to Opal. “I could tell a long time ago that you were up to no good! How dare you work with other people to destroy our cars? You’re fired! Get out of here right now!”“H-How could you… You were the one…”Opal sobbed, feeling wronged.Not that Mr. Ward paid her any mind as his gaze fell on Fred instead. He scoffed. “Not only did you hit my staff, but you broke my car as well. How do you plan on compensating, brat?”Everyone looked down silently.They all knew that the Maybach was the mos
“Me… compensating you?”Mr. Ward was stunned for almost a minute before he suddenly burst into a loud laugh.“Oh my God! Holy sh*t! That’s f*cking hilarious! Who’d have thought that a penniless fool like you would be so funny? You want me to compensate you? Haha! Why not ask me to kneel for you too, hmm?”Mr. Ward said as he wiped the tears that formed from his laughter.“If that’s what you want, sure,” Fred replied calmly.Mr. Ward’s smile dropped, and his expression turned wretched.“Do you want to die so badly, Brat?”A fierce glint appeared in Mr. Ward’s gaze.Beside him, Miss Belle mocked, “It’s alright. You know how poor people like him are. They won’t admit they’ve lost until it’s too late! If it were me, I’d teach him a lesson first and show him just how powerless he is!”“That’s right!”Mr. Ward nodded and turned to the security guards beside him, instructing them, “What are you waiting for? Go and teach that brat a lesson!”Now that their superior had given the ins
“You will kneel.”Then, Fred made a call and relayed something before he started to count. “Ten… Nine…”“You brat!”Mr. Ward huffed a laugh in anger.He was just about to curse at Fred when his phone suddenly rang and interrupted him.“Who the f*ck is calling now?”Mr. Ward pulled out his phone in displeasure, but once he saw the number, his expression immediately changed and he walked to the side. At the same time, he did not forget to scoff at Fred. “You’re lucky, brat! Looks like you get a few more seconds to live! I’ll deal with you once I’m done with this call.”Then, Mr. Ward answered the call with a flattering tone, “Hello! Mr. Walker, what…”“Kneel!”Before Mr. Ward could say anything, Stellar immediately instructed, “You have ten seconds… Actually, no! You have eight seconds!”‘Kneel?‘Ten seconds?‘Eight seconds?‘What’s going on?’Mr. Ward was confused, and he had no idea what was going on.‘Why would Stellar call me to kneel?‘And why does this sound so fami
“Y-You’re kneeling?”Miss Belle stuttered in shock when Mr. Ward knelt before Fred out of the blue.Everyone else was shocked too and looked at Fred differently now.‘Mr. Ward kneeled within ten seconds like he said?‘What’s going on?’“You! What? Is… Is it your arthritis?” Miss Belle asked confusedly.“Bullsh*t!”Mr. Ward was infuriated.‘Since when did people with arthritis fall to their knees like this?’However, he did not have the mind to care about what Miss Belle said as he looked at Fred with terror.This man was the chairman of Fantastic Group!With Fantastic Group’s nationwide properties, it did not even need to use its connections to deal with the owner of a mere 4S car dealership store like him. The group’s money alone was enough.Not to mention the fact that this store was built on land rented from Fantastic Group. Fred only needed to give the order and he would have to leave immediately.“Mr. Hoffman! I-I’m so sorry I didn’t recognize you! I let greed blind m
Midhaa was an honest man and did not know how to answer.Fred smiled. “What about that G-Class?”Mr. Ward looked like he was in pain.He wanted to blame the damage of the Maybach on Fred to cut costs since that was one of the most expensive cars in the store.However, the Benz G-Class Fred brought up was more expensive than the Maybach!He had promised to gift him a car, and Fred cruelly chose the one that cost over two million Somer Dollars.However, just then, Fred’s mirthful gaze landed on him again, and the former asked, “Is there a problem?”“No! No, of course not!”Mr. Ward quickly waved his hands and replied, “I-I’ll register a license plate for your car right away, Mr. Hoffman!”Then, Mr. Ward jogged off.Around ten minutes later…All paperwork had been filled in, and Mr. Ward even hung up the license plate for Fred.Mr. Ward felt his heart cry at the monetary loss he would be making and tried to smile, only to have it look like an ugly grimace. Then, he handed the
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
