"It was leveled?"Sylvia was completely blindsided by the news. She staggered, and almost lost her balance.Worst of all, these people had actually used Cyrus's remains as the foundation for a resort! They had used the corpses of the coal miners for the sake of improving their business!Wasn't that crossing the line?"How could you do this? You're even insulting the dead! Isn't this desecration?"She was so furious, she almost fainted on the spot."Mom!" Frederick shouted, rushing to support her. He channeled a bit of his inner aura to stabilize her pulse."Son, your father...your father's gone!" Sylvia sobbed."No! He's here!" Frederick's eyes hardened with determination. He took Sylvia, and strode into the resort.The security guards at the entrance wanted to stop them, but Frederick's icy glare froze them in their tracks."This guy looks serious. Maybe we should just let it go. It's better to avoid trouble.""Yeah, the grave's already leveled. What can these two do now?"

Before Bradley could finish his sentence, Frederick swiftly grabbed him by the head.Frederick slammed Bradley to the ground, dragging him along the ground for several hundred meters. Blood poured from his eyes, nose, and mouth."Y-You bastard! You ambushed—" Bradley screamed hysterically, trying to fight back. To his horror, he found himself completely overpowered by Frederick. It didn't matter how much power Bradley summoned to retaliate. He couldn't do anything. Frederick had him pinned, and was pummeling him mercilessly."Honor? Then let me honor you by burying your head in the ground!" Frederick snarled. His eyes gleamed with a cold glint.Insulting one's loved ones would provoke even the calmest person—and Frederick was the Dark Monarch! When angered, the strongest man alive would leave a trail of devastation!"Oh my god! Am I seeing things? Bradley’s getting his head smashed in!""Bradley is a Savant Grandmaster! How can this be happening?""They're both Savant Grandmas

"Is killing people something to be proud of? If you're so tough, then go ahead and kill us all! We're not afraid of you!!"The elderly man's relatives were especially furious. They shouted at the top of their lungs, as if they were willing to risk their lives just to curse Frederick.Others joined in, pointing fingers and spitting more insults. Sylvia looked troubled. She wanted to explain, but was unable to drown out the insults and accusations.Frederick remained unfazed. He walked over to where the elderly man lay, and bent down slightly.Marcus immediately exclaimed, "What are you doing? Are you not satisfied with how much you've harmed the old man? Now you even want to kick him while he's down?"The relatives clenched their fists, and stood in Frederick's way. They were burning with anger, and shouted, "You're worse than a beast! You've already caused our father to suffer so much, and now you want to humiliate him? If you want to touch him, you'll have to step over our dead b

Seeing this, Marcus was completely floored. It felt like he'd just been hit by a truck. He stood there, totally in shock.Did these two know each other?!Sheldon burst into hearty laughter on the spot."So it's you, Fred! I was wondering who had the guts and skill to turn Marcus's fancy resort into a total madhouse. Only someone with your talents could pull that off!"Frederick chuckled. "What brings you here, Shel? What's going on?""Nothing much, just some scoundrel trying to drive a wedge between us. We almost fell for it!"In a flash, Sheldon yanked Marcus off his feet, holding him up like he weighed nothing. With a fierce glare, he snarled, "Do you have any idea how tight Fred and I are? Do you think you can just pile baseless accusations on him and play me for a fool? Think again!"Marcus was now scared out of his wits, his face ashen."N-No... I... Mr. York, have mercy!"He was so frightened that a yellow liquid started flowing down his lower body."Mercy? You've been

Melanie pouted, then said seriously, "After days of investigating, I've finally uncovered some clues about your situation."The Organization V member in Mirage City is a mysterious figure known as Ms. L. She was behind Jennifer's kidnapping, and supported the Smith family to oppose you. After Christopher's failure, Ms. L vanished again. I still can't find any trace of her."Frederick had already heard this from Christopher, and it matched what Melanie was saying. "What else?" he asked, his eyes flashing coldly.Melanie straightened up, and continued, "The coal mine accident years ago was orchestrated by Tyrell and Barrett Lester. They used heavy explosives and three Bathos Grandmasters to bury your father underground.""Are they the only ones involved in it?" Frederick's face now showed a fierce intent to kill. He had long suspected that the Lesters had a hand in this. Even though Cyrus had been crippled, as the former heir, his call to arms would still have rallied many follow
