"Huh?!"

Frederick stood there, completely baffled.

"What's with that look? Don't tell me you've forgotten me already?! We just met today!"

Jennifer's frustration was obvious when she saw Frederick frozen in place. She grabbed his arm and ushered him into the Bentley before driving off quickly.

The onlookers were abuzz with whispers and speculation!

This stunning woman had come for Frederick!

Marissa's mouth fell open in disbelief.

Why had such a gorgeous woman come for a nobody like Frederick?!

Lucy looked as though she had seen a ghost.

"Sylvia, your son... has already gotten himself a wealthy partner?! Why did you even set up this blind date, then? Were you toying with us?!"

Sylvia was equally puzzled.

When did her son know someone so prominent?

-

The Bentley eventually stopped in a quiet spot. Jennifer's dress had a plunging neckline and was eye-catching.

Frederick sat in the passenger seat and tried not to stare as he asked hesitantly, "Ms. York, why did you come for me?"

Slap!

Jennifer's hand connected with his face as soon as Frederick finished speaking.

"You're shameless! And despicable!" she hissed through clenched teeth.

Frederick was more surprised than hurt. He touched his cheek and gave her a strained smile.

"Ms. York, I didn't think much back then. I was only focused on helping you. I'm sorry! If you think that's not enough, feel free to hit me again, or even fire me."

When he saw Jennifer approaching him just now, he already suspected that it meant trouble. She had probably come to confront him about what happened!

Facing Jennifer was like dealing with a tiger!

Jennifer's hand paused in mid-air, her expression frosty.

"Your name is Frederick Lester, and you're an intern in our sales department, correct?"

"Yes."

"I need your help with something. If you do it successfully, I won't hold your earlier actions against you. In fact, I might even give you a permanent job," Jennifer declared in a haughty tone.

"Ms. York, you need me to do something else? Do you need me for physical contact again?" Frederick asked, his eyes unintentionally drifting to her collarbone, where evidence of their prior encounter was still visible.

Jennifer was furious, and her glare was so cold that it could even put a fire out.

"Listen carefully–if you dare bring up that matter again, you can leave this car now and never return to work!" she warned sharply. "I need you to act as my fiance for just one hour."

Frederick was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.

"Why?"

Pretending to be her fiance, and only for an hour?

Was it possible that Jennifer was still affected by their previous meeting and wasn't thinking clearly?

"Don't question it. You're not in a position to ask. Just follow my instructions!" Jennifer commanded.

She raised her chin like a queen, then stepped on the accelerator and drove off into the distance!

-

The stir caused by Jennifer's arrival and departure eventually calmed down. The restaurant returned to its normal state, with Marissa and Lucy having departed.

But then, three high-end luxury cars, each worth a fortune, rolled up to the entrance. A group of black-suited bodyguards emerged, creating an imposing scene.

Three influential men stepped out, each radiating authority and influence. Their presence was like a shockwave, electrifying the atmosphere.

"The mayor of Mirage City, Matthew Zephyr!"

"Mirage City's wealthiest businessman, Derek Sullivan!"

"The underground ruler of Mirage City, Gavin Zeller!"

"Just a sneeze from any of these men could shake the foundations of the city!"

These three powerful figures of Mirage City, seldom seen together, were now gathered in the same location...

It was an event of the century!

In comparison, the excitement caused by Jennifer's appearance seemed trivial.

"Damn, it looks like we were one step too late. Lord Hades has already left! What a shame!"

The three of them exchanged glances, understanding each other tacitly.

Despite their usual rivalries, these three titans had rushed here for the same man!

    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
