Nella's face instantly turned ashen when she heard those words. Her expression was one of utter despair as she cast a final, hopeless glance at Frederick. It seemed that, once again, she was reminded of the unreliability of men. Her late alcoholic father had been like this, and now, her gambling ex-boyfriend was proving to be just the same!For someone as young and accomplished as Frederick, a small-time livestreamer like herself was indeed insignificant."Carl! Why are you here again? I'm no longer your girlfriend! Get out!" she yelled, her eyes bloodshot and her voice dripping with venom."Nella, stop causing a scene. If you come back to me, I'll treat you the same way I did before!" Carl seemed unfazed, reaching out as if he intended to embrace her just as he had in the past.No matter how outrageous his behavior had been, a little flattery was usually enough to win her back and draw her into his arms. But this time, his usual tricks didn't work.Nella stepped forward qui

The thugs, poised and ready, looked like they were about to spring into action at any moment."That guy owes us so much money. If he dies, who will we get it from? From you?" Drake sneered dismissively.Frederick remained calm and composed. "He owes you twenty million, correct? I'll give you thirty million."At these words, Drake and his men were momentarily stunned."Are you serious? Don't think you can just trick us with this little game! Do you think we're fools living on the streets?" Drake's skepticism was evident."I'm Frederick Lester, the general manager of Aerowind Enterprise. Here's my business card." Frederick tossed a card at their feet."Is he really a big shot?" One of Drake's subordinates picked up the card, gasping in shock. "I remember now! Nella kept calling him 'Mr. Lester', right? That's really Aerowind Enterprise's boss's name! It's that up-and-coming livestreaming company making waves in Centropolis, right?"Drake's demeanor immediately shifted from arrog

Drake's face twisted into a snarl. "Withdraw forty million now! I'll break your legs if you come up short by even a penny! And your woman? She can't leave until each of my men has had his turn with her!"Frederick's shameless antics only further enraged Drake. The consequences for doing so were severe!He was ready to rip off the facade of civility. Today, Frederick was going to get a taste of his wrath!Nella's face turned ashen. "You want money and to use us like that? Do you even have a shred of humanity left?""Humanity in our underground society?" Drake scoffed. "You might as well go hug god's statue in a church!""Nella, I command you to shut up." Frederick calmly pulled her back into his embrace, and added nonchalantly, "You talk too much, and it lowers my status. Do you understand?"Nella was at a loss for words. The shock of Frederick's cold demeanor left her unsure how to respond.Trembling, she said, "Mr. Lester, don't you realize we're surrounded?""Really?" Fre

It was Willard and Jillian—the deputy human resource manager Frederick fired before, and the livestreamer who had made it to the interview through her connections.At this moment, they strutted about like victorious roosters, their airs of superiority palpable.Jillian, with her hands on her hips and nose in the air. "Jasmine, things have changed. Don't talk to us with that condescending attitude! You're not in a position to do so."We're here representing the bigshots behind the scenes to demand a refund! Everyone knows your boss at Aerowind Enterprise is missing. After failing to reach him for so long, the major investors and backers have pulled out."And here you are, still trying to act tough?"Jasmine's face paled, as if her wounds had been exposed. "Our general manager is just missing, not dead! We're actively trying to contact him, so stop spreading false rumors! Besides, even without Mr. Lester, Aerowind Enterprise still has me and a team of elite staff. We're still stan

Bang!After delivering that initial blow, Frederick advanced, lifting the brick and continuing to slam it into Jillian's face.Crack! Crack! Crack!Jillian's face was quickly reduced to a bloody, mangled mess. Blood splattered everywhere as her body convulsed violently. Her screams turned into frantic, desperate howls.The sudden brutality of the scene left everyone in stunned silence, their faces frozen in shock.It was Frederick Lester!The general manager of Aerowind Enterprise!He was still alive!Nella's heart raced, her fear making her throat tighten. It turned out that Frederick had gone outside to fetch a brick from a nearby construction site to use as a weapon!Frederick continued to rain down blows with the brick, his face expressionless as he let the hot blood spatter around him. Gradually, Jillian's struggles ceased and her screams stopped. She lay motionless on the ground, limbs sprawled out, her face unrecognizable. Her features had been completely obliterated.
