"Where are you? I’ll come to you." Frederick knew that, at this moment, his sister needed family the most."I'm at Promenade Street. I'll send you my location.""Alright. I’m not far from you. I’ll be there in about ten minutes." After hanging up, he switched his phone to airplane mode. He didn't want any interruptions while he was with his family.Promenade Street was full of popular spots for influencers, bustling with people. It was especially crowded with young couples and university students. Frederick's sharp eyes quickly spotted Selene in casual attire, wearing a mask. Her eyes were red and puffy, clearly showing she had been crying a lot.She was waiting at the entrance of a high-end luxury store. Bored, she browsed the items on display and immediately focused on a blue handbag. She couldn’t take her eyes off it."What a beautiful bag…"In the past, Laura would occasionally bring home beautiful bags, which indirectly influenced her.The sales assistant immediately

The man stared coldly at Frederick, and scoffed. "You've got guts, I'll give you that. Maybe you should ask around what Jack Hill used to do. Did you know I collect protection fees from every shop on this street?""Oh, so you’re just a thug, right? A glorified street bully?" Frederick replied nonchalantly.Selene's face turned pale as she realized the situation was getting dangerous. She quickly interjected, "Fred, let's just leave the bag. We don’t need to stay here."Jack chuckled menacingly. "Leave? Too late for that. You've got some nerve!"He then ordered the sales assistant, "Bring thirty thousand dollars in cash!"The sales assistant was stunned. "Mr. Hill? You really want to give them money?"Without a word, Jack grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the counter, shattering a piece of the tempered glass. Her face became a bloody mess, and she whimpered incoherently, "Sir, please have mercy!""You brought this trouble on yourself, you idiot! Now I have to clean

As soon as Frederick walked through the door, he shivered unexpectedly."Strange! Is the air conditioning on? Why is it so cold in here?""Frederick! Is that you?" Jennifer's icy voice greeted him.Wait! There was another familiar voice besides Jennifer's. Could it be...?Frederick looked over nervously; his gaze landed on a curvy woman with smooth, alabaster skin and graceful curves."Willa!" he exclaimed in shock."Frederick, didn't we just see each other a few days ago? Why are you so surprised?" said Willa, dressed uncharacteristically in white stockings and a short dress. She sipped from her coffee cup elegantly as Frederick entered.Opposite her, Jennifer stood with her arms crossed, wearing a tight black dress."I sent you a message an hour ago, and you're just getting back now? You might as well not have come home at all!" Jennifer shot Frederick a cold, sarcastic glance before giving Willa a considerate smile."Captain Zephyr, it's not illegal to scold my own husban

Frederick once again had an unimpeded view of their exquisite figures, as if they were two pieces of art on public display.With an appreciative look, he said, "You both have something in common—a mole on your butt."As he spoke, he placed his hands on them in an almost professional manner. "Don’t be nervous, don’t be shy. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen these parts of you. But this is the first time I’ve seen such a comparison."Ms. York, I have to be honest—your butt isn’t as good as Ms. Zephyr’s."And Ms. Zephyr, don’t think I’m being biased—I’m just saying the truth. Your figure doesn’t have the same dimensionality or perkiness as Ms. York’s."Overall, you both have your strengths and weaknesses, so I’ll generously give you both a score of ninety. If you want a higher score, you’ll have to charm this judge..."Slap! Slap!Jennifer and Willa simultaneously slapped him across the face."Shameless!""Disgusting!""Get out!"Fuming, they quickly picked up their towel

Jennifer was both furious and terrified. She couldn't help but feel her eyes welling up with tears."No! I can't just watch him walk into his death! How can he fight against those local tyrants all by himself?"Frederick's opponents were the strongest forces in Centropolis—the Nine Great Ascension Clans. She heard that each clan was backed by many of the top-ranking Savant Grandmasters in Aston State. More than half of the top twenty martial artists in the Aston Savant Arts Ranking belonged to the Nine Great Ascension Clans—and that was excluding the reclusive martial arts masters whose strength far exceeded those rankings."But now, who in all of Centropolis can stand against the Nine Great Ascension Clans?" Jennifer was deep in thought.The Dragon Brigade? Impossible! Frederick had long ago made enemies of the Dragon Brigade. The state government? She didn't have enough connections to get them to take on the Nine Great Ascension Clans head-on."Actually, there is one perso
