In a sudden display of brute strength, Charlie flipped the car over eight meters with just his hands. Despite the ghastly sight of his torn skin and flesh, wounds covering his body, his strength was immensely powerful. Jasmine stared, horrified. "Who are you? We can give you money; just don't hurt us." Charlie burst into mocking laughter. "Wahaha! Money? I don't need money! You're Frederick's woman, right? I want you dead!" He charged at them in a frenzy. Several bar bouncers rushed over, drawn by the commotion. "Darn it! We almost had Charlie taken down! How did he suddenly rebound?" "Stop asking questions! Just drag him back to finish him off! We can't let the Tsarina find out and blame us!" One barked. They drew their weapons and lunged at Charlie. Surprisingly, Charlie seemed numb to pain. With a fierce roar, he ripped them apart with his hands, splitting eight men into half in an instant. The brutality stunned Jennifer and Jasmine. They started to question wh
Thinking of Frederick, Mr. Z couldn't shake off a lingering sense of unease. "Looks like I can't make a move against Jennifer just yet,” he muttered to himself. “Donovan's a lost cause, and I need to find someone new to help me. Who else could possibly handle Jennifer?" As he mulled this over, an idea suddenly hit him. "Ah, that's right! The Yorks!" - The next day at Prospera Corporation, Duncan York, a director who usually maintained a good rapport with Jennifer, was in her office for a serious discussion. Duncan began gravely. "Jennifer, even though the conglomerates recently injected three billion into our company and saved us from immediate crisis, the Tiger Faction and Bianca's consortium are certainly not going to let us off easy. "I've heard they've joined forces and are planning a long-term siege on our company. Your father and uncle are plotting to overthrow you back in the boardroom, and the notion had the chairman's support," he continued worriedly, "The outloo
"Of course it's legit!" John declared, beaming. "The owner simply spares no expense in hiring attractive ladies as masseuses to attract more business. These days, how many wealthy clients really come here for the health benefits of a foot massage?"They're all drawn by the masseuses. They start by getting familiar, then exchange contact details, and from there things naturally evolve... That's the game for the wealthy who frequent this place."Finding no polite way to refuse, Frederick reluctantly walked into the establishment.The lobby manager promptly greeted them. "Would you prefer a foot wash or a massage? The cost of a foot wash is $399, while a massage costs $599, with additional charges for extra time.”John patted his chest. "My colleague is here for the first time today; we have to go for the best! We'll get a massage service for 599 dollars!"Frederick was shocked by the steep price; he thought he might as well massage himself for that amount.Despite his reservations,
Frederick was flabbergasted.Clive Loder? Wasn't that the man Jennifer had sent him to collect a debt from?"Wahaha! Masseuse number 3 truly is the best! She outshines the top girls at other clubs!" Clive exclaimed upon seeing Eva, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Fuck, I could enjoy her company for a whole year without getting bored!"Frederick's expression soured at the remark. He stood up and sternly advised, "Listen, sir. These women are professional masseuses, not the kind you're implying can be found in back alleys. You're in the wrong place.""Hmph, it's all just a facade. They're still selling something, aren't they?" Clive replied arrogantly.Frederick was on the brink of losing his temper when Eva quickly stepped in."It's okay, Frederick!” she said. “If it comes to it, I'll take care of Mr. Loder. We can't afford to upset someone from the clans, especially not the Loders. We ordinary people can't afford to provoke them."Clive snickered menacingly, "At least you u
"Wahaha! You want to kill me? Are my ears deceiving me? You think you can take me down?" Clive erupted into raucous laughter. "Do you realize how foolish it is to threaten me in front of the warrior clans? Kid, you're practically signing your death warrant!"John and Eva shivered with fear. "Fred, please don't do anything reckless! Ordinary people like us stand no chance against those from the warrior clans.""Ken, kill him. I'll buy you dinner!" Clive commanded.The Savant Grandmaster Clive had spoken to stepped forward, his hand raised to crush Frederick's skull. To these elite warriors, the life of a regular person was trivial, worth less than a meal.Screams echoed as the crowd anticipated Frederick's head splitting open like a smashed watermelon.However, Ken's lethal hand halted mid-air, frozen in place!With an effortless grip, Frederick seized Ken's wrist. No matter how Ken struggled, he couldn't free himself. "Motherfucker! Where in the world did you get such stre
"I'm on my way now!" In the grandeur of his mansion, Glen slowly hung up the phone and commanded his underlings, "Fetch me information on someone named Frederick Lester." One henchman promptly replied, "Frederick Lester, twenty-five, a former seven-year veteran of the Northern Frontier, holds a high school diploma, and currently oversees a team in the sales department at Prospera Corporation." "Just small fry!" Glen scoffed disdainfully from his imposing throne. "The warrior clans have been too quiet for too long! We're no longer feared or respected. Tonight, we've lost five Savant Grandmasters; in response, I demand five thousand lives!" Another henchman chimed in. "Mr. Glen, I've recently taken in a mother and daughter with a vendetta against Frederick." "Bring them to me!" Soon after, someone led Marissa and Lucy into the hall, both disheveled and bruised. Dog leashes tethered the two. Since Charlie's death and Mr. Z's disappearance, they had lived in constant fear, ha
Stephen reported to Jasmine that five of the Loders' Savant Grandmasters had been murdered at the nearby Apex Wellness Spa. "Who would do something so outrageous and kill members of the Warrior Clans?" Jasmine exclaimed in disbelief. "It was Frederick," Stephen informed her gravely. "Him again? Why does he always cause me trouble? Sigh!" Jasmine was deeply troubled by the circumstances. As if the unresolved issues with Bianca and Alec weren't enough, Frederick had now involved the Warrior Clans in the chaos. However, it was precisely this fearless streak that had initially drawn Jasmine to him. "Get the car ready! I'm going to meet Mr. Glen personally!" Jasmine decided, determined to handle the situation herself. - By evening, Glen, leading his group of Savant Grandmasters, made an intimidating march towards the Golden Coast. The territory was under Gavin's control. Gavin quickly rounded up his men and attempted to block them. "Mr. Loder, I'm the Underworld Empero
With a resounding slap, Jasmine struck Glen sharply across the face. "Don't you forget, I'm Jasmine Smith, not one of your club's entertainers!" she declared, her tone icy and piercing. "Touch me again, and you'll regret it!" She lifted her chin defiantly, preparing to step out of the car, but Glen grabbed her hair and hurled her back to the other side of the vehicle. "Motherfucker!” he snarled. “You think you can act arrogant under my watch? This isn't Centropolis; this is Mirage! Even the Smiths can't push the local tyrant here! Driver, start the car! Shake off those following us!" The sleek Pagani sports car sped away. He quickly lost the Smiths' bodyguards in its wake and disappeared from their sight. "Jasmine, you've got only one choice now—stick with me," Glen said, his laugh sinister. Disheveled and defiant, Jasmine spat at him and snapped, "Bah! Dream on! A man with limited vision like you isn't worthy of me!" "Well, today this lowly man is going to claim you for
