Though Frederick had some good points, comparing him to the world's most perfect man was like comparing a drop of water to the ocean."Well, let's see what you can do with your product launch event. This will determine your worth in my eyes, and whether you can match up to Lord Hades." Jennifer replied to him with a queenly air, lifting her chin. [Alright.]For several days straight, Frederick worked overtime at the company preparing for the launch event. Finally, on the last day, all the preparations were done."Damn this overtime! I'm outta here! Going home to find my mom!" With a flourish, he clocked out and hopped onto his electric scooter, heading for the Gold Coast.At a crossroads, a silver-gray supercar suddenly zoomed in, crashing into an elderly lady in front of him. Her bicycle was flipped over, and the wheels flew off."Damn it! You nearly hit me! Does anyone have any decency these days?" Frederick snarled in anger. He drove up to the supercar, that had stopped,
"What did you say? I have a fiancée in the Northern Frontier? How come I didn't know about this?" Frederick nearly dropped dead on the spot when he received Seiryu's call.Seiryu explained patiently, "My lord, I've also just learned this. Your former master, the previous Drakonia guardian, once arranged a marriage contract for you with the Yarborough family, a powerful clan in the Northern Frontier."Your fiancée is Liana, the Yarborough family's heiress. At just twenty-one years old, she's already a powerful figure in her own right.""Stop, enough!" Frederick felt embarrassed. "The thing is, I've never even met this woman! It's absurd to suddenly have a fiancée. How can I accept this? You need to go to the Northern Frontier yourself and cancel this marriage for me.""I wish I could, but she's already here in Mirage City..."This frustrated Frederick. "Damn it! Seiryu, listen to me. Block all information related to me! We absolutely cannot let this Liana come looking for me!"
"Isn't the most important thing about a product launch the product itself? Why bother with all the fancy stuff?" Frederick said calmly.Eva had indeed suggested having celebrities endorse the products, and to spend lavishly to invite medical experts. She even suggested a red carpet and rose-lined pathway, but he vetoed them all.He preferred to use resources wisely and effectively, ensuring that the best and most valuable materials or efforts were allocated to the most critical and important parts or tasks. He wouldn't waste a cent on unnecessary extravagance.Jennifer was so frustrated, she felt like smashing her high heels on Frederick's head. "Are you an idiot? These formalities may be superficial, but they leave a good impression on the guests and judges present. When we broadcast the event city-wide, the whole of Mirage City will see what our launch looks like. Do you want hundreds of thousands of people to see a shabby event?"Frederick remained unfazed. "Doesn't matter, as
Timothy had just sent the invitation out of curiosity, to see if she would actually show up. Who would have thought that Liana Yarborough, the pride of the Northern Frontier, would really appear in person?It was obvious that a tycoon in this third-tier small city was barely seen as significant in the eyes of the Northern Frontier elites.Excited, he stretched out a hand and said, "Ms. Yarborough, allow me to introduce myself. I am Timothy, the heir of the Campbell family, one of the Great Four Warrior Clans in Mirage City. I'm also the chairman of Campbell Pharmaceutical."But Liana seemed uninterested in Timothy. She simply walked away, saying, "Put away your dirty hands and arrange a good viewing spot for me."Her disregard of him was like a slap in the face, freezing his smile instantly. The Campbell family's servants also wore gloomy expressions.When they saw the bodyguards standing behind Liana, they were shocked to find that the lowest among them were Bathos Grandmasters
The samples displayed looked almost identical! In fact, it seemed like the only difference was the name—Frosted Silk Powder had simply been rebranded!Jennifer's face turned as white as a sheet. The formula had been stolen!On stage, Timothy was confidently presenting the new product on the big screen."Our company's product, the Ivory Radiance, has multiple benefits such as whitening and rejuvenating the skin. Its key feature is that it can sculpt your body based on your individual proportions, achieving the legendary golden ratio figure!"As soon as he said this, the audience erupted into waves of astonished gasps."Oh my god! It's 100% harmless and provides permanent whitening!""And it can give you a golden ratio figure—it's way more effective than working out or dieting!"The guests, especially the women, were practically drooling with excitement. This was undoubtedly a new revolution in beauty products!The judges, who had already been bribed by Timothy, couldn't help b
"Watch the show?" Frederick's cryptic comment left Jennifer and Jasmine puzzled. However, seeing his confident demeanor, they had no choice but to suppress their unease. They had already placed all their bets on him, and there was no other way out.Meanwhile, upstairs, Liana suddenly noticed Frederick below and was momentarily stunned."Isn't that the rude guy who yelled at me on the street the other day? What's he doing here?""My lady, if you don't like him, why not just kill him now?" her attendant suggested. "After all, anyone the Yarborough family wants dead in the entire Aston has no chance of survival!"After all, Liana held an intimidating title—the fiancée of Hades, the Dark Monarch."No need to rush. Killing him now would spoil the fun of watching the show," Liana replied, crossing her legs elegantly with a haughty smile. "Judging by the situation, it looks like he's up against that Timothy guy, right? Timothy has already garnered a lot of attention and support from th
"Ahhhh!" The sudden gruesome scene caused quite a few people to nearly have a heart attack. The bloody, severed arm on the ground was a shocking sight. The Savant Grandmaster stood there, pale and trembling."Timothy, what are you doing?! With thousands of people here and tens of thousands watching the live stream, you resort to violence?" someone voiced their outrage.But Timothy just laughed instead of getting angry."Everyone, please calm down! This is part of today's presentation!""What do you mean?" The crowd was puzzled.Timothy quickly stepped forward and pulled an elegant box from his pouch, revealing a white powder. He picked up the severed arm and reattached it to the Savant Grandmaster's shoulder, sprinkling the powder all over the wound.In less than three seconds, something astonishing happened. The severed arm and the wound began to heal at a visible speed, leaving only a faint pink scar.The crowd erupted in shock."Am I seeing things? Did the arm really rea
After a long silence, Frederick finally took the initiative and stood up. The employees of Prospera Corporation erupted in applause. Despite this, Jennifer and Jasmine’s expressions were a mix of hope and despair, and they struggled to hide how despondent they were.Timothy had come well-prepared with a terrifying trump card, and he had even bribed the judges. Did they still have any chance of winning?"Jen, maybe you should go back. I'm worried... Your reputation might take a hit after this," Jasmine sighed. She had already lost confidence—not because Frederick was incompetent, but because the odds were overwhelmingly against them. Timothy surely had powerful backers.However, Jennifer's face was flushed red as she bit her lip. "Why should we hide? I'm the CEO of Prospera Corporation! We can't run away forever. What's meant to come will come!"She lifted her head defiantly. If she was going to fall, she'd fall spectacularly.As Frederick calmly stepped onto the stage, the cro
