Chapter 4

Author: Annam
The man they were here for was the Dark Monarch of the Northern Frontier, a pillar of the nation, and one of the pinnacle figures of power in Drakonia!

By establishing a relationship with the Dark Monarch, they could soar to great heights with limitless prospects!

"It seems that you both have also heard the news. The Dark Monarch has been frequenting this restaurant that's popular for matchmaking lately," Matthew said with a smirk. "Looks like I'll have to keep a close watch from now on. Can't let you guys get ahead of me!"

All three knew deep down the terrifying power of the Dark Monarch! He was someone even the kings of the West would bow down to!

Even if they couldn't flatter him, they had to maintain good relations. Otherwise, if the Dark Monarch became enraged, countless would perish, and rivers of blood would flow!

If he wished it, the Dark Monarch could obliterate the three powerhouses in an instant!

"I've heard that Lord Hades has now settled in Mirage City. I'll find him sooner or later!"

"Hmph! I'll be the one to find him!"

The three powerhouses exchanged cold glances and parted ways.

At Fascine Villa, Jennifer stepped out of the car and walked briskly inside, leaving Frederick stunned by its sheer luxury.

"Ms. York, where exactly are you taking me?" Frederick was still puzzled.

"You'll see when we get inside," Jennifer replied, leading Frederick straight into the hall, which was packed with people.

"Jen! This is a family meeting, yet you've brought an outsider?" Several men dressed sharply stood up with frowns on their faces.

Frederick's heart raced immediately!

Good heavens!

That was Zacharias York, the CEO of Prospera Corporation!

And wasn't that Zeke York, the executive director?

There were also several other director-level figures!

These were the company veterans he had seen in the company's hall of fame when he first joined!

When they saw Frederick, many of the York family members looked at him with amusement. Some even whispered and laughed among themselves, as if he were an interesting specimen in the zoo on display.

"No way! What was Jennifer thinking? She brought some stray back home?"

"Look at what he's wearing! Are those from the trash? Even our dog dresses better than him."

"You're a beggar, aren't you? Don't come any closer! Take off your shoes and get out!" Zeke, Jennifer's second uncle, sternly said as he glared coldly at Frederick.

"You've dirtied the floors of our family! You won’t even be able to afford a square foot of this house with your lifetime earnings!"

Upon hearing this, Frederick's eyes narrowed slightly.

Money, huh?

He once had so much he couldn't spend it all, but he wasn't particularly interested in wealth. He was content with having enough to eat, drink, and spend on his family.

Little did he know, things he had casually discarded meant so much to others!

"Uncle, mind your words. I came here today to announce something!" Without warning, Jennifer took Frederick's hand and declared, "This man is my fiance! I won't marry that heir from some faction!"

The moment Jennifer finished speaking, the room erupted!

The York family members were stunned.

"Jennifer is interested in this beggar?! Am I hearing this right?"

Frederick was taken aback.

He realized Jennifer had brought him here to use as a shield! What a treacherous woman! Wasn't she throwing him into the lion's den?!

Jennifer's father, Zacharias, slammed the table. He was obviously furious.

"Outrageous! Where did you find this beggar? How dare you bring such a person into our family?"

Zeke chimed in angrily, "Jen, I know you resent the engagement to the Tiger Faction's heir. However, you're a member of our family! You should obey the arrangements we have made for you! It's your duty!"

"My duty? My marriage and future are my own! Even if you're my father or uncle, you have no right to dictate what I do!" Jennifer retorted defiantly.

Lifting her chin, she proclaimed, "I've already given myself to him! I will only marry Frederick!"

The York family members turned pale, staring at Jennifer in disbelief. She was the renowned icy beauty of the York family, yet she had chosen such a... lower-class individual?!

Zacharias fumed, "Argh! Such a waste! All those years of raising you... was all in vain!"

Zeke shook his head. "I don't believe it! Jen, did you just randomly pick a low-ranking employee from the company just to put on this act? You have better taste than this! How could you have fallen for him?"

Jennifer smirked coldly. "I don't care if you believe it or not. It's none of your business!"

"Ms. York..." Frederick began, but Jennifer cut him off.

"Shut up! Touch my chest and butt now!"

Jennifer glared at him menacingly, her voice cold and commanding.

    Heston was still scoffing when he received a call from Giovanni.He was taken aback, and he nervously glanced at Frederick.

    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
