“Stop it, Frederick! Can we just have a nice meal together?” Winnie said, feeling a bit annoyed. “You like me, don’t you? Acting this way will only make me lose the good impression I have of you.”Frederick paused, surprised by her words. “When did I start liking you?”“Didn’t you?” Winnie replied.In her mind, Frederick had always sided with her, separating her from Gary and the others. This was a sign that he liked her, and that was why she had invited him to dinner. After all, Frederick was no longer the same person. Now that he was wealthy and influential, it wouldn’t be hard to win him over if she put in a little effort.“You’re overthinking it,” Frederick chuckled.What was that popular phrase he’d seen online again?Right—delusional. It fitted Winnie perfectly.“Frederick, I only said that because I didn’t want you to keep making a scene. It’d be embarrassing if we got kicked out of the restaurant. I do like you, but you shouldn’t back down because of what I said and

Winnie was in a daze.At this moment, she finally began to understand what Frederick meant by saying he could decide the rules of Mirage City.While she was feeling ashamed for breaking a restaurant’s guidelines, he had already reached a level where he could do whatever he pleased and make everyone follow his rules instead.Winnie turned pale once she realized that she really wasn’t worthy of Frederick.“Let’s go. There's no point having this meal,” Frederick said, shaking his head as he stood up.Just then, a striking figure rushed into the restaurant.“Frederick, hurry, come with me! There’s something urgent!”The woman was wearing the law enforcer uniform that accentuated her curvy figure. It was none other than Willa!Without a second thought, she grabbed Frederick’s hand and pulled him out of the restaurant. She paid no mind to the murderous glares from Jennifer and Jasmine—or rather, she was too anxious to notice them.“What’s going on?” Frederick asked as Willa dragge

"Captain, he’s—" Willa started to explain, but Jorge cut her off. "I don’t care who he is. Tell him to leave immediately. Willa, I was already being nice by putting your name on the list. Our fathers are friends, which is why I added your name to give you more opportunities to gain experience," the man said dotingly.Willa shuddered in discomfort upon hearing his tone, while the others in Unit 2308 ignored their conversation and focused on their work.Frederick had been silently observing the place the moment he was here."Willa brought me here to help with the case. If you don’t let me into the crime scene, how am I supposed to help?" he finally spoke up.Jorge scoffed, as if he’d heard something utterly ridiculous."You? Helping with the case? Do you know who I am? I’m the top detective in Aston, and I’m also known as the ‘Ace Detective’ in the Law Enforcement system. I’ve solved thirteen cold cases and brought thirty-seven criminals to justice ever since I arrived in Aston. I

Frederick bent his knees, crouched low, and sprang up like a leopard on the hunt. He jumped at a forty-five-degree angle instead of straight up.At the peak of his jump, he used his strong core muscles to momentarily hover in the air. Then, with a powerful kick against the wall, he propelled himself even higher!This allowed him to reach for the windowsill, with only the pads of eight fingers gripping the ledge supporting his entire body weight. The muscles in his arms tensed up, and with a burst of strength from his fingers, he flung himself upward.Frederick continued this method, climbing floor by floor. From the perspective of the others on the ground, his figure grew smaller and smaller, yet more and more impressive.Jorge felt a chill run down his spine. In the blink of an eye, Frederick had already climbed to the twentieth floor—around 200 feet above the ground! One misstep, and he’d be reduced to nothing but broken bones.“What the hell! Where on earth did you find thi

A who was smoking while leaning against the headboard spoke up with a frown. “Wilbert, isn’t it too bold of us to come back to this building after the killing?”“Chill, Alice. Those Drakonia fools couldn’t find us at all,” Wilbert said with a sneer of disdain on his face.No one would suspect that after committing murder, they would brazenly take the elevator upstairs and check into a homestay in the same apartment building. When the special investigation team had initially screened the building's occupants for suspects, they dismissed Wilbert and Alice because the two had checked in after the crime. They also hadn’t been seen on surveillance footage entering the apartment before the murder.“I don’t know why, but I have a foreboding feeling,” Alice said, and exhaled smoke which made her face hazy.“Maybe it’s the blood stirring your desires but leaving you unsatisfied,” Wilbert said. He then set down his wine, glass and walked over to Alice. “But Alice, while we may crave bl
