"What, are you the only one allowed to charge into the execution grounds alone? Why can't I do the same?" Jasmine teased, her eyes gleaming with charm."How did you manage to mobilize the Smith family's resources and influence?" Frederick chuckled, curious.Jasmine tipped onto her toes, her voice playful and smile radiant. "You've got it all wrong. Despite the Smith family's meddling in my affairs, my grandfather still dotes on me. Since you drove away their people last time they sent them to Mirage City, they dare not send anyone without calling me first. Then Jen's incident came along, and I seized the opportunity to make some demands..."As the heiress of the Smith family, it was perfectly reasonable for her to mobilize their forces like this.Frederick smiled slightly. "I see."It seemed things were heading in a favorable direction!On the other side, Wade was facing intense pressure from the representatives of the three major clans.Finally, he lost his cool and dropped a
The Gallaghers looked at the rotting pile of flesh that used to be their family head. They could do nothing but grit their teeth and swallow their resentment. They knew all too well that they couldn't afford to offend the three ancient clans.Meanwhile, the survivors from the York family were still shaken from the ordeal. They confronted Frederick with anger and frustration. "Jinx! If the Smiths hadn't bailed you out, we would have been buried with you!"Even Xavier glared daggers at Frederick, his eyes burning with intense hatred. He looked as if he wanted to tear Frederick apart alive.Frederick smirked faintly. "What was that? I couldn't hear you. Say it again, I dare you."His words hit like thunder, instantly silencing the crowd. They were pale-faced and speechless, especially Zeke. He was trembling violently, his facial muscles twitching in fear. This guy was capable of crushing Zion's skull bare-handed—who would dare provoke him?!Meanwhile, Jennifer managed to break fr
The man trembled in fear. "Mr. Lester, that's not what I meant! I'm begging you"Teaching Frederick how to do things? Was he out of his mind to even attempt such a thing?!"If you're begging, you better do it properly!" Frederick said, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.The man quickly understood, and said, "Mr. Lester, please rest assured. The family has already decided on Barrett's punishment! He'll be sentenced to death!"And though Tyrell is dead, we will still pursue his crimes from back then!"Not only that, Master Atticus has also said that there will always be a place for you in the Lester family. If you wish, you can reclaim your father's position and honor anytime!""No need for that. All I want is Barrett dead. Tomorrow, I want his head delivered to my house and personally handed to my mother. Got it?" Frederick said calmly.The man hesitated. "But the decision just came out. Tomorrow might be too...""Hmm?" Frederick's face darkened suddenly, shocking the man
"Reward?" Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly. "You want to reward me? It does sound enticing, but sorry, I'm not very interested in you."Upon hearing this, several Yarborough family servants in the car couldn't stay silent. They exploded in angry curses."You bastard! How dare you be so disrespectful?!""If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Frederick shrugged nonchalantly, but inside, he was panicking. The longer he stayed with this opportunistic fiancée of his, the more likely she'd uncover his secrets. It was dangerous!Liana maintained her composure, and smiled."If I told you I have information on the mysterious person who collaborated with Barrett Lester back then, would you be willing to calmly talk with me?"Upon hearing this, Frederick froze in his tracks. He turned to face her, looking stunned. "How do you know about that?"She knew about the Lester family incident? And even about his father's murder years ago?!"What kind of nonsense is that? Do you think i
Among the remaining members of the Gallagher family, the only one who would take charge now was Wade's younger brother, Wyatt.Wyatt was one of the only two Sovereign Grandmasters of the Gallaghers, second only to Wade in strength. With Wade gone, leadership naturally fell to him.Gritting his teeth, Wyatt said bitterly, "That kid only managed to escape because he had the backing of the Smiths and the three major ancient clans! We can't endure this humiliation!"The Gallaghers were filled with indignation. "We can't take on the Smiths and the three major clans. But at the very least, we must kill Frederick and the Yorks!"They all chimed in one after another. "Wyatt, if you promise to help us kill these people and avenge our former head, we will support you as the new head of the family!" Wyatt's eyes burned with rage. "Rest assured, none of these people will escape the consequences!""But such dirty work cannot be handled by our family directly. We must find someone else to do
Wyatt bounced on the spot, his face regaining its earlier flush as he confidently replied, "Oh, it's about money, huh? That's easy! Money is the last thing that concerns the Gallaghers!"Blade smirked. "It's not about the money. I want something else. I heard the Gallaghers' women are young and delicate. How about sending seven or eight for me to play with?" As soon as Blade finished speaking, the Gallaghers behind Wyatt instantly fell into an uproar. One hotheaded member exploded on the spot. "You're going too far! You want money and women?! We hired you to kill, not to lord over us!"In an instant, a butcher beside Blade thrust his knife into the man's head. The sound of metal sliding through flesh and blood filled the air, and the blood gushed out of the man's head at that very second.It was a grotesque sight.This scene immediately terrified the rest of the Gallaghers, who screamed hysterically in shock.Wyatt stepped back in alarm, gasping for breath and stumbling.Seei
Willa's face turned ashen, as if she had been slapped in the face. "Didn't the chief superintendent have several Savant Grandmasters protecting him? How did he get assassinated?""They were also killed!" her subordinate replied with trembling voice.Willa sighed heavily. "Is the Bloodfang Order really that formidable?""According to our intel, the Bloodfang Order's leader, Blade, is the real deal. He's reputed to have single-handedly taken down two Sovereign Grandmasters dispatched by the state government!" added several seasoned members of the law enforcement team."Where is Blade now?" Willa frowned. "Use military satellites to lock onto his location. I'll personally lead the arrest!"Hearing this, the law enforcement team members exploded with shock.Damn it! Law enforcement teams from other places would avoid Blade like the plague. But then, there was Willa. She not only refused to back down, but also wanted to actively go after him!"Captain, Blade is the head of the
The man ignored Frederick. Instead, he turned around and locked the restroom door behind him.Frederick was taken aback. "What are you up to?""You ask too many questions!" The man's true intentions were instantly revealed as he drew a sharp dagger from his waist. "I'm going to make sure you never talk again!"Instantly, the sound of a violent struggle erupted from within the restroom. A few seconds later, Frederick opened the door to reveal a bloody corpse inside."What a hassle. I was hoping to use him to find the whereabouts of the Bloodfang Order, but he just had to go and get himself killed."Playing a dangerous game with him? Did these people think he didn't realize who the hunter and the prey were?Frederick washed his bloodied hands at the sink, and decided to leave. He found a spot in the employee area to snack and watch the entertainment program.His buddy John was sitting nearby, and greeted him excitedly. "Fred, long time no see!""John? What a coincidence!"
