Fredrick would never let Serena go. It was a perfect opportunity to sleep with Serena. He produced the inspection report and presented it to her, declaring, “Look, it's not up to standard. The new materials you sent are subpar.”Of course, it was a fake report he had made.Serena was in disbelief, exclaiming, “How’s that possible? Mr. Fredrick, these materials are from Venzor's military factory. I even brought the official quality inspection report. These materials exceed the market standard by 20%!"She was utterly dumbfounded.Fredrick squinted in disbelief and asked, "Military materials? Serena, who are you trying to fool? How can your modest family obtain materials from the military?"Serena mustered her strength and retrieved the inspection report from her bag. Fredrick hastily examined it, finding it to be true. It even had the Venzor Military Theatre seal. It made him flustered.He never imagined she could secure materials from the military factory.‘That’s impossible!’

Fredrick grew dreadful as the man before appeared to be a battle-hardened warrior. Fear overwhelmed Fredrick when Xayne approached.Frederick stepped back, shouting, “What… What do you want?! Who do you think you are? You’re in the municipal office. I am Fredrick Grant, a high-ranking official.”Xayne closed the distance step by step, his fist clenched. "I’m Serena's husband, Xayne Xavier."Suddenly, he struck Fredrick’s eye. Immediately after, the latter’s eye turned purple, and he howled pitifully. “Gah! You're that good-for-nothing brat. You've gone too far. How dare you strike me? I will never approve Serena’s materials!"Xayne chuckled, "Mr. Fredrick, your authority in the municipal office is pretty extensive. Do you even respect the chief judge of the municipal office?""Nonsense! The chief judge is my brother-in-law. When I speak, he listens." Fredrick covered his injured eye as he grimaced at Xayne. “It’s over for you and your wife! I won't back down unless you compensate

Nathan’s anxiety grew, thinking, ‘Fredrick tore up the quality inspection report from the military factory? Who’s Mr. Xayne? Why did Kenneth react so strongly?'He wiped the sweat from his cheeks, trembling as he asked, "Mr. Kenneth, what... Who’s Mr. Xayne? Is the situation that severe?" Kenneth scoffed, “You're not qualified to know Mr. Xayne's identity. Although I’m Shalholm’s mayor, I can only step down unconditionally if Mr. Xayne wants to take over. I’m only fit to stand aside and serve him. Do you understand?”Boom! Kenneth's words caused a stir in the conference room. 'Mr. Xayne's identity is terrifying. Could he be an envoy sent from the capital?'Nathan dared not ask further. He said, "Mr. Kenneth, rest assured I’ll handle it. I'll ensure Mr. Xayne is satisfied.""Mr. Xayne has only given you twenty minutes! You better handle this properly. If Mr. Xayne is even slightly dissatisfied, you will resign," Kenneth scolded, then stormed out of the conference room.Nathan

‘That’s the military! So, Xayne wasn’t lying about the materials. How’s that possible? Isn't he the last member of the Xavier family? He married into the Swifts, right? How’d he make these connections?'Suddenly, the office door swung open, and Martin entered. He stood behind Xayne and respectfully reported, "Sir, I've gathered a hundred soldiers to surround the municipal office. We await your command."Xayne nodded, then glanced at the time. He sneered, "Twenty-one minutes have passed. It seems Mr. Nathan won't make it. Mr. Fredrick, it's time for us to settle the score."A wave of murderous intent emanated from Xayne, sweeping through the municipal building. Even the soldiers downstairs, the evacuated staff, and Serena with her employees felt the overwhelming aura.'Is that coming from Xayne?'Serena grew anxious as she stepped forward. However, a soldier intercepted her, saying, "Miss, you can't go in. We're on official duty to protect everyone here."Serena shouted, "My husba

Upon hearing Fredrick's words, Xayne frowned. "Chandler? The heir to the Cann family?""Mr. Xayne’s asking you a question!" Nathan snapped."Y-Yes, he's the heir to the Cann family." Fredrick nodded, tears streaming down his face. "Mr. Nathan and Mr. Xayne, I'm a lowly municipal official. How could I defy Mr. Chander? H-He forced me into this situation. Please have mercy, Mr. Xayne. Spare my life!"Fredrick knocked his head against the ground, pleading relentlessly. Xayne's eyes turned cold, and a surge of killing intent emanated from him."Chandler Cann, huh?!" Xayne declared, his gaze sharp as he looked at Fredrick. "If you want to live, you should know what to do."Fredrick was confused.Before he could say anything, Nathan kicked him and shouted, "Why are you still here?! Go to Mrs. Serena and process her certification.""Oh? Yes, yes, I’ll do that immediately." Fredrick scrambled to his feet and left without composing himself. He spotted Serena and the others from a dista
