Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

"Many of my female friends also want to get to know you. Do you want me to schedule a meeting with them?" Samantha laughed along with her brother.

Fredrinn shook his head. "Now is not the best time." He muttered with a serious look.

Seeing his expression, the pair of siblings realized that he must have come here for something important.

"I need to see the city lord. Can you bring me to him?"

The smile on Lucas' and Samantha's faces disappeared when they sensed the urgency in his voice.

"He is in the back garden with our mom. We will take you there." Samantha responded.

"Let's go." Fredrinn nodded.

While they were walking to the back garden, Lucas could no longer hold back his curiosity. "What's going on, dude? Did something bad happen?"

Fredrinn patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. You'll know soon."

Lucas' face twitched when he heard this. 'Why couldn't you just say it?' He thought.

Fredrinn was unaware of Lucas' thoughts. Although the latter was curious, he no longer said anything after that.

A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the back garden. Fredrinn noticed that there was a newly built gazebo in the middle of the garden. The city lord and his wife were there, enjoying tea as they observed the sea of flowers.

The city lord had a strong spiritual perception so he immediately sensed their arrival. He turned his head. He was taken aback when he saw Fredrinn walking side by side with his children. "Fredrinn?" He muttered.

His wife, Hannah Sparks, followed his gaze. She was also surprised to see Fredrinn. However, this time, she no longer held negative feelings about him.

"Greetings to the city lord and Madam Hannah." Fredrinn cupped his fists and lowered his head lightly.

"Fredrinn! It's good to see you! You don't need to be formal with me. We're both Nascent Soul martial practitioners after all." The city lord was happy to see him. Fredrinn was among the young people that he admired. There was no one like him in the kingdom.

Even Lucas whom he was proud of fell short compared to him.

Hannah didn't say anything. She just nodded to acknowledge his presence.

"How can I do that? You are the city lord and the person most admired by my father! He might scold me if I don't show you enough respect." Fredrinn chuckled.

"Haha! You've gotten better at socializing." Ludwig didn't show it, but he was pleased by his words.

After exchanging pleasantries, the city lord asked. "What brings you here?"

Fredrinn's expression suddenly turned serious. "I came here to ask about your health, city lord. My father has been very worried about your condition."

"I see…" Ludwig sighed and weakly smiled. "I stopped searching for a cure. I guess I don't have much time." There was a trace of reluctance in his voice.

Hearing his words, Samantha and Lucas teared up. Even Hannah revealed a lonely expression.

"City Lord, have you heard about the Life Heart Syrup?"

Ludwig raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect Fredrinn to know such rare medicine. "Of course! It's one of the medicines I was looking for, but… why do you ask?"

Fredrinn smiled and took out a small bottle from out of nowhere. "Inside this bottle is two drops of Life Heart Syrup. I came here to give you a drop."

"What?!" Ludwig was stunned. He didn't know what the Life Heart Syrup looked like, but the golden liquid inside the bottle in Fredrinn's hand was emitting a dense amount of Qi and life force. He was certain that it could cure his illness!

Hannah and the other two stared at them in confusion. They didn't know anything about the medicine. They could only surmise that it was valuable since Ludwig spoke highly of it.

"Can that medicine cure my father?" Samantha asked.

"Absolutely. To be honest, I have three drops of this medicine, but I already gave one to a Void Tempering powerhouse. It worked on him so I can assure you that it will cure the city lord." Fredrinn replied confidently.

"That amazing?" Samantha was shocked.

"Are you really giving it to me? That thing is extremely valuable and it won't just cure me. It will also increase my cultivation! I might even advance to the Void Tempering realm once I refine the medicinal properties!" Ludwig stared at Fredrinn with hope and excitement.

"City lord, my father asked me to deliver it to you. Please accept it."

"Alright. I won't forget this favor, Fredrinn. Once I recover, I will visit your estate and thank your family in person." Ludwig promised.

Fredrinn smiled and handed the bottle to him. "I can only give you one drop though." He joked.

"Haha! Of course! I'm not shameless enough to take the last drop." Ludwig's hand was shaking.

Without hesitation, he poured one drop of the golden liquid into his mouth and handed back the bottle to Fredrinn. "Thank you, Fredrinn." He muttered before he closed his eyes to focus on refining the medicinal properties.

When Fredrinn used the favorability meter function on the family of four, he noticed that their favorability towards him had increased significantly.

At this moment, Ludwig felt a surge of Qi and life force flowing through his body. He felt like he was baptized and was being replenished after being empty for so long.

A moment later, his cultivation that was stuck at the 9th layer of the Nascent Soul realm showed signs of progress.

Ludwig's muscles tightened and the Qi in his body slowly saturated.

Even without his battle scouter function, Fredrinn sensed that Ludwig had broken through the 10th layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

However… it didn't stop at that.
