Her boyfriend would reward him with a job if he was in a good mood?Hearing Deborah blatantly showing off, Fred shook his head slightly.Fred could already tell the hidden meaning of Deborah mentioning her boyfriend.However, even putting aside his identity as the living legend, as the chairman and sole shareholder of Fantastic Group, Fred was truly at a loss at how to reply to her.Was he supposed to tell his old classmate bluntly that her incomparably outstanding boyfriend was but a small employee of his own subsidiary?So, Fred could only maintain a polite smile.However, the way Deborah saw it, although his smile was brilliant and a little dazzling, it was also a smile that concealed embarrassment."It seems that you’ve truly never forgotten about me!"But it's a pity. A man who is deserving of me might not need to have powerful connections, but he should at least be rich or generous!"Fred, you... you really aren’t good enough for me!"When Deborah thought of this, she s
"Besides, today is the day the external president arrives. What if people see me interacting with some commoner and it ruins my impression?"Although the words were not addressed directly to Fred, it was obvious that he was talking about him.Deborah, on the other hand, immediately felt a little embarrassed at being told off.She originally intended to bring Fred here to show off.Who would have thought that it would ignite such a big reaction from Brian? She was at a loss for what to do. "Then...then should I ask him to leave?”"Forget it! He’s already here anyway!”Brian waved his hands impatiently and said, "How about this? The lady who cleans the toilet around here just applied for leave today. Let’s have him do that job first, then we'll talk about the rest later!"I'm only doing this for your dignity. Otherwise, a piece of trash who has never gone to college is not even worthy of cleaning the toilets here!"Hearing this, Deborah quickly kissed Brian on the face and replie
Mr…Mr…Mr…Hoffman?At this moment, Brian was dazed. He felt like he was losing control of his bowel and was about to soil himself.Fred he…was that not just Deborah's former classmate?Was he not just some man who had never gone to college? A piece of trash that dropped out after finishing high school?Yet…yet now, why…how did things end up with the indomitable Mr. Walker and Mr. Eland calling him Mr. Hoffman so respectfully?Just…just what the heck was going on here?Soon, however, the answer revealed itself before his eyes.The female employee who had escorted Stellar and Eland looked at Fred as he spoke to both Stellar and Eland. She murmured involuntarily, "Mr. Hoffman is younger than I thought! I heard earlier that the chairman of our head office is a young and highly desirable bachelor but I didn't expect him to be this young—"Brian suddenly grabbed the female employee before she could finish and gasped, "You...what did you just say?""That…that he’s a highly…eligible ba
Asked Fred to clean the toilet?Just how bold were they?How many lives did they think they had?Eland was furious. He was a mobster, to begin with, and had a really short fuse.Although he was the newly appointed president of Magic Cloud Enterprise, Brian was already considered his subordinate now!How dare his subordinates call Fred trash and ask him to clean the toilet?When Eland thought this, he wanted to kick Brian into the ground directly and fumed, "You b*stard! How dare you offend Mr. Hoffman like this? I’ll gut you—”"Lord Eland."Just when Eland was about to strike him viciously, Fred called out to him and brought him to a stop immediately.Then, Fred stepped forward. On the other hand, Lord Eland obediently followed.Only Stellar spoke up when he walked past Brian. He calmly said, "You... Accept responsibility and resign!"After saying that, the three of them went toward the conference room, leaving only Brian who was wearing a look of despair.However, it seeme
Both Deborah and Brian paid little mind to Fred, assuming that this was just an insignificant mishap in their plans. After dealing with the transferral of management of Magic Cloud Enterprise to Lord Eland, Fred returned to his office in Fantastic Group with Stellar in tow. “Where are Wanda and Opal?” Fred took a drag from his cigarette and looked up to ask Stellar. “I believe they’re in Danerim.” Stellar smiled after some thought. “Fantastic Group doesn’t have business in Danerim yet, so I’m not too sure about what they’re doing exactly, but I assume it should be something along the lines of a performance. Their performance in Cloud Province was very successful, after all!” “Mhmm! I initially planned it to be something they could use to pass the time. To think that they would end up this popular,” Fred said with a smile. He shook his head, but his gaze was filled with pride. After the performance in Cloud City, the popularity of Great Girls, that was comprised of Wanda Yates
‘W-What…’Neither the sect leader’s assistant nor the other man standing expected Fred to get physical so suddenly. They definitely did not expect such power from the young man.Warlords prided themselves in being stronger than ordinary people, especially members of the Sky Martial Sect who dabbled with the secular world and were in constant contact with them.As such, when they found out that Mark had died because of Fred, they immediately understood that Fred might be a warlord as well. However, it never crossed their minds that Fred was powerful. After all, Jade was stuttering when she reported what happened, so they assumed that Mark died of a sneak attack. Yet… a mere slap from Fred had sent one of them flying out of the room, and this was way out of their initial expectations. “I knew it! You’re not an ordinary person!”The sect leader’s assistant frowned and put both his hands down. An aura specific to that of a warlord slowly oozed from his body. “The one you sent f
“Yvan, I thought that Hoffman guy is in Sea City? Why’s it taking our men so long? Could something have happened?” In a mansion in Sea City East.A disciple of the Sky Martial Sect looked at the young man sitting at the top who was enjoying the massage of a few ladies. That young man was Yvan Molina, a powerful and renowned inner ring disciple of the Sky Martial Sect.Alas, he had been rather neglected these few years thanks to Mark’s existence as Sect Leader Halbert’s direct disciple. Still, he was considered one of the top elites within their sect. Not only was he more powerful than most sect leader assistants, but he was said to have unlimited potential. “Why? Do you think something went wrong?”Yvan opened his eyes and smiled overconfidently at the disciple who spoke just now. “Do you have no confidence in our sect or do you not have any confidence in me?” “Never! I would never! Yvan, t-that’s not what I meant!” that disciple said frantically. His franticness was n
‘Lost count? Overconfident idiots?’ Despite having experienced how preposterously ignorant Fred could be, Yvan could not accept being described in such a way. He could not even believe the insolent words he was hearing anymore. However, that fury disappeared as quickly as it came.In no time, Yvan had calmed down. He sat back in his chair and smiled disdainfully. Only those with the strength to back up their words were allowed to sound arrogant. Yvan’s haughtiness came from the fact that he was an inner ring disciple of his sect and his talent.He used to be the second sect heir before Mark died, and now he was the first sect heir. This meant that among the younger generation in the Sky Martial Sect, he was only second to Mark. With Mark dead now, no one could step over Yvan. He was the most powerful person among his generation in the sect. Moreover, the Sky Martial Sect had always been treated as a higher being within the secular world. This meant that among all w
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
