Deanna and the man in braids behind her blinked in confusion. Then, confusion was replaced with fury. They had expected Fred to show off his skills, yet all he did was randomly poke her neck in a few places.Even Tyne was shocked. She did not know what to say.Yes, she had seen Fred create miracles before. As his girlfriend, she had absolute faith in him. However, if a few random pokes were all Deanna needed, then Deanna could have done it herself. “T-That’s it?” Tyne could not help but ask.“Mhmm! When have I ever lied to you?” Fred smiled.He turned to Deanna and asked, “So, can we sign the contract now?”“Are you fucking kidding me?” The man in braids roared before Deanna could say a word. “Do you know how many doctors Miss Deanna has gone to for her throat? All you did was… was… whatever you did. What the fuck is that going to do?!”“What’s it going to do?” Fred shook his head. “I don't expect you to know everything, but that doesn't mean I condone your prideful ignorance.

“W-What…?” Deanna frowned, realizing that everyone was staring at her. “Go on, what is it?” The man in braids exclaimed excitedly, “H-Haven’t you realized yet, Miss Deanna…? Your voice!” “My voice? What about my voice?” Deanna looked at Dave confusedly. The man smiled widely. “My dear, your voice… It’s back!”“W-What?!” Deanna was astounded. Softly, she hummed a note before exclaiming with disbelief, “It’s back? It’s back! My voice is back!” “It is!” Dave smiled. “It’s just as it was before.” “Mhmm!” The man in braids nodded. “It’s as sweet as the first time I heard it, Miss Deanna. I thought I’d never hear it again after so many failed attempts at treating your throat… I never thought we’d hear it again now!”　Fred smiled. Seeing the excitement on the three of their features, he cleared his throat. Then, he said, “I take it that you’re satisfied with my work, Miss Deanna?”The three of them finally remembered that Fred and Tyne were still present.“Dr. Hoffman! Thank you

“Haha! Oh, darling, there’s really no need to sound so offended.” Barett chuckled. “All I did was give you a reason to retire, Miss Deanna. Just think about how devastated your fans would be if you retired for no reason? Wouldn’t it be much better if you told them you lost your voice? They’d leave you alone and you’d never be bothered again!”“As if you’d leave us alone!” Deanna was furious. “My voice means everything to me! You should’ve just killed me instead if you were going to destroy it!“And did you think I wasn’t aware of what happened to those who retired before me? You think I don’t know why they just dropped off the radar?! Had it not been for… Had it not been for Dave, I would’ve met the same fate, wouldn’t I?! After all… I know way too much about the dirt on your hands!”“Pfft… Hahahaha!” Barett laughed out loud. “Oh, Deanna, Deanna, what will I do with you, hmm? No wonder you’ve got that idiot head over heels in love with you, hmm? Was he afraid of what I’d do to you?

Their menacing and fearsome appearance might have made an ordinary person in Fred's position run for their life or pass out from fear. However, Fred was no ordinary person.Not only was he not an ordinary person, but he was also even more extraordinary than those who were considered not ordinary! Hence, he just stood there unmoving, merely snorting. At once, the henchmen that were on him felt as if a massive bell was ringing right in their ears. They were disoriented, and their vision blurred as they were awashed with a feeling of dizziness.There was a series of thuds as they all fell to the ground. This group fared even worse than the previous henchman!They did not even reach a meter of Fred before they collapsed to the ground one by one, unconscious!“What the… What in the…”Barett's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw the scene in front of him. What in the world was going on?He would not be so surprised if he had seen Fred use force or even weapons just

Moving as swift as lightning, Thunderstrike taunted, "How does it feel? Can't keep up with my speed at all, can you? Heh, that's a real shame! You ought to know that I’m not even at my fastest yet!”Thunderstrike sneered again as his lightning form became even more blurred. All ordinary people like Barett and Diana could see were streaks of lightning flashing by their eyes as if his body had disappeared into the lightning."It seems like I’d been worried for nothing.”Amidst his lightning-fast movements, Thunderstrike's expression was not as arrogant as before. Instead, it was exceptionally solemn now. Despite him having spoken so casually earlier, Fred's reaction, particularly that slap that he had surprised him with, left a deep impression on him. This was why Thunderstrike had been probing Fred's true strength this entire time. A skilled individual's abilities were typically proportional to their reaction speed, after all. A highly skilled expert would undoubtedly have top-ti
