Chapter 2

Author: Annam
Marissa grabbed her bag and stood up.

She sneered and said, "I'm a graduate of a prestigious university and a senior employee at a Fortune 500 company! I earn twenty thousand a month, own two cars, and a house!

"You make less than four thousand, and you're a nobody. How dare you think of dating me?!

"I assumed you were some charming, wealthy heir. But a twenty-five-year-old with neither a car nor a house? What a disappointment! How can you be so shameless to even show up here?!"

Marissa pointed a finger accusingly at Frederick, her words cutting like a knife.

Frederick's face turned icy in an instant. If this were Belleria, a woman like her would never get away with such behavior!

When the situation escalated, Sylvia quickly stepped in and said, "Marissa, even though Fred doesn't have a car or house right now, he's down-to-earth and full of potential..."

"Back off! Don't touch me, you old hag!" Marissa yelled and rudely shoved Sylvia aside.

"Don't touch my mom!" Frederick said angrily.

Then, an older woman with heavy makeup stood up, laughing mockingly.

"Sylvia, my daughter is a treasure. Does your son even deserve her? Had it not been for your pleading, do you think I would have let her come on this date? You've shown no real sincerity!"

The woman was Marissa's mother, Lucy Zeller. She was arrogant, and her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at Sylvia and Frederick.

Sylvia stammered, "W-what do you mean, Lucy?"

"Don't you own a piece of land? Since you're strapped for cash, why not offer it as a dowry? Maybe then Marissa will reconsider..."

Lucy sneered, then continued, "You can demolish that old house at the same time. It'll be easier to construct a new place for the new couple, don't you think?"

Frederick angrily shot back, "If you take that land and tear down the house, where will my mom live? On the streets?!"

"Oh my! I just suggested one thing, and he's already acting like this! How can I trust him to treat my daughter right?" Lucy said agitatedly, gesturing dramatically.

Sylvia awkwardly said, "Don't say things like that, Lucy. I'll agree to your proposal!"

"Mom?!"

Frederick couldn't hide his shock.

Meanwhile, Lucy was grinning from ear to ear.

"Also, I have a brother who made a small mistake and was recently released from prison. He's single now. You have a daughter, right? Why not join our families? Your daughter could marry my brother!"

Sylvia turned pale instantly.

Frederick's younger sister, Selene Lester, was just starting university.

Sylvia had heard that Lucy's brother had been in prison for the past twenty years for robbery and murder. Also, he was in his fifties and didn't have a job!

The thought of Selene marrying such a man was horrifying!

"Um, about that..." Sylvia began hesitantly.

But Lucy swiftly cut her off, "Plus, my daughter is sensitive and precious. After they marry, your son must do all the housework and give his entire salary to her. She hates pain, so he mustn’t touch her without her consent!"

Frederick could not take it anymore and exclaimed, "Are you marrying or selling off your daughter? Even if I bought a cow, it would at least know how to plow a field and work! I refuse to marry someone so pampered! Mom, I won't go through with this. Get them to leave!"

Marissa's expression darkened as she burst out in insults, "How dare you, you loser! You should be honored I even bothered to show up today! Look at your family! It's in shambles! Those who don't know you might even think you're all beggars!"

Lucy added scornfully, "You're a fool dreaming of the impossible. You're not even willing to pay such a small price? Tsk! You're shameless!"

Ignoring their taunts, Frederick gently took Sylvia's hand and led her away.

"What, now you're leaving without a word? What a worthless man!"

Lucy and Marissa's mocking voices continued to echo behind them.

But then, a Bentley suddenly pulled up at the entrance, turning heads in the restaurant.

It was a Bentley Elegance 700, a model worth twelve million and was exceedingly rare.

A strikingly beautiful woman stepped out, and she was poised and captivating.

She was dressed in professional office attire, with a tight skirt complemented by black stockings.

Marissa was left in awe. She considered herself fairly attractive, but compared to the woman before her, she felt like a country girl.

She suddenly felt utterly embarrassed!

Frederick was the most surprised among them all.

The woman was none other than his boss, Jennifer!

Jennifer approached with her elegant gait and said, "Frederick, come with me!"

    Heston was still scoffing when he received a call from Giovanni.He was taken aback, and he nervously glanced at Frederick. 'No way…'The moment he picked up the phone, he got a torrent of scolding.Meanwhile, a bloody power struggle was underway in the Imperial Capital.After the Conservatives took down Woody, their ambition surged. They now aimed to dismantle the entire Radicals faction. Though the Radicals had already compromised in the Woody affair, they were taken aback by the Conservatives' greed and refused to back down any further.A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, quickly escalating into open warfare. The entire Imperial Capital was placed under lockdown, with martial law in effect. Gunfire and smoke filled the air as both sides clashed, and the violence soon spread across Drakonia. Armies from all regions were mobilized, and a war was about to erupt. At this critical moment, the First Elder woke up.Years ago, after deposing the Dark Monarch of

    Senspiras, located in the southeast of Drakonia, was also a neighboring country of Drakonia. It also has the largest population of overseas Drakonians. Many of the wealthy families in Senspiras migrated from Drakonia within the past century or two. The current richest man in Senspiras was one such example."Is Mr. Stone your father?" Frederick raised an eyebrow and asked."Looks like you've got some sense! Name your price!" Heston smirked, and pulled out a checkbook.Frederick's expression darkened."Your dad's assets are not even enough to wipe my shoes. Who do you think you are, pretending to be a big shot? Get lost!"Frederick quickly realized that Heston was just a spoiled brat who would throw money around bullying people. Since he wasn't much of a real threat, Frederick wasn't bothered by dealing with him. Upon hearing Frederick's words, Heston was stunned. "Are you out of your mind? My dad is the richest man in Senspiras! How dare you belittle him?" “So what? Your enti

    Sylvia had so many questions. She wanted to know what Frederick had been doing to provoke such dangerous enemies. She wanted to know if Frederick had really killed a hundred people. She wanted to understand how her son had gained such abilities. And most of all, she wondered if Frederick had been living this kind of disturbing life all these years."Mom, we'll talk about it when we get home," Frederick said, gently lifting Sylvia and leaving the company.On the way, Frederick lightly tapped on Sylvia's head, and she quickly fell unconscious. He had used a special method to erase part of her memory.When they arrived home, Sylvia slowly woke up."Fred! Why are you suddenly home?" Sylvia exclaimed in surprise when she saw Frederick."I'm about to go on a long trip, so I came to visit. Why are you sleeping on the couch instead of in your room?" Frederick smiled.Sylvia sat up from the couch, feeling a bit stiff and sore."I was talking to your sister on the phone. How did I

    "Yes, it was me. If no one managed to escape, the entire Steinfields family—except for children under sixteen and elders over seventy—should be dead by now," Frederick said with a smirk.If he didn't deter the Steinfields with a show of force, others might try the same methods against him in the future.Hearing this, Kaizer's face went blank and terror filled his eyes. At that moment, Frederick's phone rang. It was Melanie calling. Frederick answered, and put the call on speaker. "How did it go? Tell me, so Kaizer here can hear," Frederick said."There were a hundred and seventy-three Steinfields. Fifty-two were children and elders. The remaining hundred have all been executed!" Melanie reported. Kaizer spat out a mouthful of blood in shock. "No way! We're the Steinfields! The Steinfields of Imperial Capital! How could this happen?"In a panic, Kaizer fumbled with his phone, trying to call his family. However, every call he made went unanswered."You'll find out for sure onc

    "Let her go!"A sharp voice rang out.Kaizer instinctively turned around, and he was stunned by Nella's beauty. He couldn't believe someone like her existed."Nella, why did you come down?" Jasmine called out, her eyes widened in panic. She had specifically told them not to come down.Nella trembled in fear. "Ms. Smith, we were worried about you!"Though she was terrified, she still stepped forward. She couldn't just stand by and watch Jasmine get assaulted."Well, well, Frederick sure is lucky with women. But now, they're all mine. Who would've thought that I'd be blessed with a feast before leaving Drakonia!" Kaizer was practically drooling.He let go of Jasmine, and rushed toward Nella eagerly. Nella backed away step by step, but soon found herself cornered."Haha, come to me!" Kaizer spread his arms wide, lunging toward Nella.Just as he was about to grab her, a thunderous crash shook the room. The outer wall of the building crumbled down.Frederick had burst through it a

    Meanwhile, Frederick had just gotten off the plane. As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw a long list of missed calls from Selene.He immediately felt uneasy. Selene would never call him so many times unless something urgent had happened.He was about to call her back when his phone rang again.Frederick answered Selene's call quickly, but before he could ask anything, Selene's tearful voice came through."Fred, Mom's been kidnapped!"Frederick's face darkened instantly, and his killing aura surged."Alright. Don't worry, Mom will be fine."With that, Frederick hung up the phone; he then immediately called Melanie, who was still in the Imperial Capital, lazily lounging in bed."Do you have any intelligence on the Steinfields in the Imperial Capital?" Frederick asked through gritted teeth.He didn't need much thought to figure out who was behind this. There was hardly anyone left in Mirage City bold enough to cross him, except for Kaizer. And now, Sylvia had been kidnapped
