"How dare you! Did Ms. Yarborough allow you to leave?""Do you think you can walk out of here alive after offending the Yarboroughs?""The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable your end will be later!"The crowd was indignant and kept shouting.But suddenly, Liana's cold voice cut through their shouts like a knife. "Shut up! Who allowed you to insult him?"Her words silenced everyone. They were stunned. What was going on?Just a moment ago, Liana seemed ready to tear Frederick apart. But now her tone sounded different, as if she had turned into another person.Liana's eyes sparkled as her gaze fell on the calligraphy Frederick had produced. He had written the same words, "World's Best".In terms of artistic conception and brushwork, it far surpassed the one that had been up for auction. She could see a man standing before millions of enemies in the Northern Frontier. He was alone, and he cut down all who stood in his way with a sword in his hand. On a sea of blood
The newcomers consisted of two people—one tall and skinny, one short and fat.The tall man grinned. "Nice to meet you. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Rory."The short and chubby man beside him chuckled. "Actually, this will also be the last time we meet. I'm Lycan. Remember this name, so you won't be clueless as to who killed you!""You… My brother sent you two!" Jasmine gasped. She paled in shock. Sweat streamed down her face, and she faltered in her words.The intimidating aura emanating from the two was so overpowering, she felt as if she was being crushed by two mountains!"Knowing that is good enough, Ms. Smith. Mr. Smith has made it clear that as long as you're willing to come with us now, he can overlook the mistakes you've made before. But this man must die!"Rory strolled forward casually, his hands in his pockets. "Don't make things difficult for us, okay? Be good and come with us!"He turned to Frederick, and added, "As for you… You should kill yourself. That's t
Rory stood frozen for a moment; then, his features contorted in rage. "What did you say? I'm weak?!"Almost simultaneously, his palm erupted with hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity. It melted the surrounding buildings with its scorching heat. This was the consequence of angering Rory! From the start, he had planned to unleash his full power and tear the kid in front of him to pieces."I'll show you! Let's see if you think this is weak!" Lightning crackled from Rory's palm, and he aimed his hand at Frederick's head.Jasmine was standing not too far away from Frederick. But even at that distance, she could feel the terrifying pressure in the air. She was shocked beyond words.It was horrifying! If she were on the receiving end of that strike, she would probably turn into a charred corpse instantly!"Frederick, why would you provoke a freak from the top two hundred on the Savant Arts Ranking?!" Her heart nearly leaped out of her throat as she subconsciously closed he
After dealing with Rory, Lycan looked at Frederick with a sinister smile. "I agree with one thing you said, he really was weak. But now, everything should come to an end because I'm here!""I'm the 97th on the Southern Savant Arts Ranking, the Sovereign Grandmaster of the Wolf!" Lycan declared proudly.Jasmine couldn't suppress her fear when she heard Lycan's introduction. "He's part of the top 100 on the Southern Savant Arts Ranking? Oh my god, my brother actually hired such a high-level warrior just to kill Frederick?!"Making it to the top 200 on the Southern Savant Arts Ranking was already extremely rare. Those in the top 100 were considered top-notch fighters. They commanded respect even from state and regional military officials. In the entire history of the Mirage City's Great Four Warrior Clans, which spanned over a thousand years, there were only three Savant Grandmasters who made it to the top 100—and in the past century, there hadn't been a single one!Frederick narr
"It's not considered a fight if there's no blood, right?" Frederick's words rang out through the air as he moved, instantly decapitating Lycan.Blood gushed forth like a fountain. It splattered over the headless corpse, sending shivers down the spine of anyone watching the scene.Jasmine was barely able to stand from the shock. She gasped in fright, and then trembled in disbelief."Lycan’s dead!"He was ranked 97th on the Aston Savant Arts Ranking!And yet, he had been so terrified of Frederick that he was about to flee. Was Frederick even scarier than him?"I'm sorry for frightening you, Ms. Smith," Frederick said. He strode over to Jasmine, and comforted her. He placed his hand on her delicate shoulder as he infused her with a burst of energy. Her pale face regained some color, and her fear lessened.Today's events were too shocking, leaving her heart greatly shaken."Stop hiding and come out," Frederick suddenly said. Jasmine shivered. "Are there more assassins?"Severa
Frederick wasn't some naive saint. He wouldn't believe the one-sided story of those assassins, especially with Jasmine around. He knew they only said those things because they wanted him to spare them, and he only reluctantly let them go because of Jasmine. Now that she was gone, it was time to be ruthless. Being kind to others sometimes meant being cruel to oneself!"Got it. I'll dispose of them safely at various ports," Seiryu said.As Frederick was heading home, he received an unexpected call."Frederick, it's Jade! I finally got hold of you!" Jade's voice came through, and she was obviously distressed.Frederick paused, and asked gently, "Hey now, what's wrong? Slow down and tell me everything.""I used the card you gave me to help my company out of a tough spot. Now, thanks to you, the company's back on track. I'm so grateful!" Jade said. "But... I spent a whopping five million, and I feel terrible about it. I've been trying to find a way to pay you back!"After thinking i
"Oh? From the sound of it, it seems like you also had your eye on this casino for a while?" Frederick asked casually.Willa furrowed her brows. "Our enforcement team has been investigating it for half a month. As far as I know, Nova Star appears to be an entertainment venue on the surface. But behind the scenes, it's in cahoots with the fraud syndicates in the Golden Triangle. "They manipulate the gambling, sell drugs, and are also involved in human trafficking. They're committing all sorts of crimes... However, we've been hesitant to take action due to a lack of evidence."When Frederick heard this, he knew what was going on. Jade losing thirty million wasn't just bad luck. Nova Star was indeed a dangerous place. But the more powerful the groups collaborating with foreign fraud syndicates, the more determined Frederick was to root them out completely. This ingrained sense of patriotism had become almost a habit for him."Do you have time tomorrow night? If you do, dress up ni
"Wasn't the price negotiated and the contract signed before this? She's breaking the deal?!" Jennifer exploded on the spot. "What does she think Prospera Corporation is? Her personal ATM? Get someone else immediately!""B-But Ms. York, we only have ten minutes left until the livestream starts. We can't find a suitable replacement in time!" the media department director stuttered."What if we cancel the stream?""We've already spent millions on advertising from the PR department for this stream. If we cancel now, all that money will go down the drain."Slam! Jennifer slammed her hand on the desk, and glared at them. "So we have no choice but to agree to her demands? Are we just going to let her walk all over us?"Suddenly, everyone below fell silent. None of them dared to utter a word."Frederick, why are you here?" Jennifer glanced at Frederick entering the room, her tone icy.Frederick was somewhat intimidated by Jennifer's cold demeanor, but he managed a polite yet awkward s
