Chapter 1053

Author: Chu
Kallum Gaetz looked around at the board members sitting around the table and flashed a calm smile.

He even beckoned to his pretty secretary to light his cigar, breathing a large puff before looking up and chuckling. "What's there to worry about? A woman and a fringe member of the Lane family… Does she think she can be our boss just because she was airdropped on us? Who does she think she is?"

His smile then turned dark. "As long as we work together, what can a woman do to us? We just have to band up against her, protesting and refusing to comply with any policy she makes… I really doubt she'll last against us for a month. In the end, she'll just recognize reality and return where she came from!"

Kallum's suggestion left every other board member giving him a thumbs up. He really was the boss here!

Still, a bespectacled middle-aged man who appeared soft-spoken rose to his feet. "But what if she proves to be a complete novice and insists on standing against us? We can't afford to drag

    As the elevator doors opened with a jingle, Helen and Frank strode out.Helen could hear the rowdy laughter from the conference room, but she remained impassive as she calmly and determinedly strode through the hallway and entered.The conference room was immediately silent.As Frank followed Helen in sight, he could see that the board members were stunned by Helen's beauty, and he heard the subtle gasps.They had heard that the new chairwoman was a beauty, but not one of such proportions!An ice beauty with a perfect face? She was the ideal subject of conquest for any man!Their eyes were hence fixed on Helen, unable to look away.For her part, Helen did not appear upset with the stifling scent of tobacco in the room, and instead strode up to Kallum's seat while carrying a stack of document folders."Mr. Gaetz, was it? Did no one tell you that's the chairperson's seat?"She asked impassively at Kallum and quietly added, "And I'm enforcing a new rule—no smoking in the conferen

    Kallum glanced at the other board members and insolently took off his shoes to put his feet on the table, as if he was in his own house.Snorting in amusement, he then asked, "So? How are you going to confiscate my shares, Ms. Lane? Did you think some verbal threat would intimidate me? Go on, do it—let's see if you can actually carry out your threat."The other board members also quickly joined in, voicing their disapproval. "You're a fringe member of the Lane family, Helen Lane! Mr. Gaetz has always been in charge here—show some respect!""Exactly. A woman like you trying to lord over us? You really give yourself too much credit!""Strutting as soon as you come in and demanding Kallum to give up his seat?! Just stand there and shut up!""You can make us coffee since you have nothing to do anyway… And make it extra milky."As the board members laughed rowdily, Helen's gaze cooled.She had been prepared for over a dozen scenarios before she came and was prepared for the worst.

    The other board members quickly agreed with Kallum."Exactly! There's no way we'd cooperate!""We can understand airdropping a new leader on us… but a woman and a member of the Lane family? And someone who hasn't even been to Zamri?""Not only did you refuse to behave on your first day of the job, but you're already flexing your authority… I mean, a new rule in the conference room? Are you kidding me?""You have no competence, no influence, and no connections. What, are you going to bring in new clients for us with your pretty face?""Pfft… Hahaha…"The board members kept insulting Helen, with one sleazebag even mocking her for her youth and beauty."Are you done?" Helen remained impassive as she watched them, still standing proudly by the meeting table when they stopped laughing.Then, she spoke bluntly, "It's the Lane family who decided that I'll take over this investment company. None of you get to be upset with this decision… Also, contributing to this company? You bloods

    Kallum narrowed his eyes and grinned savagely. "Hmph. Don't think you can intimidate us! Resign? So be it—let's see how you can run the company by yourself!""Yeah! We're coming with you, Kallum!""Let's see how she'd do without us!""You'd be begging on your knees!"All the board members rose to their feet, led by the senior members.Only the scrawny Owen Briggs remained in his seat.He wanted to stand too, but he was afraid since he noticed Helen's sharp glare.After all, his accounting department was in a precarious position, as they were in charge of all the financial data and ledgers for the company.And since Owen had been cleaning up the other board members' mess endlessly, he was as good as dead if Helen really started asking questions.However, that was not the case for the other board members.After all, they were dead sure that Helen would cave and beg them to stop—if the rest of the board went on strike, the company operations would stall, even go bankrupt.That

    Helen opened the folder in front of Mr. Zork, leaving him gaping. "There. Security photos of you in the act."How could Helen have found out?!This was top secret, and Owen was the only one who could have known since Mr. Zork reported his expenses to him!As such, Mr. Zork was leveling a death glare at Owen too, his eyes almost shooting flames."Naturally, the biggest problem our company has is you, Mr. Kallum Gaetz. As acting CFO, you've really set a new bar in corruption."Helen strode behind Kallum and slammed a document on the table in front of him, saying quietly, "Every yearly ledger showed profits… that is, before it gets passed to you for review. Afterward, everything will be in the red, and the Lane family would have to pay up for it… If anything, I must admit that you have balls."Then, clapping Kallum on the shoulder, Helen finished, "Either way, I've reviewed the ledgers over the last few years. If you have any questions, you may ask them now."Kallum's eyes were nar

    After all, Helen could have all of the entire board jailed if she willed it.They were all scowling—they certainly had no idea how Helen got her hands on the evidence against them, with every last bit of detail included. All they could do was to blame Owen now.In the first place, they were supposed to assert their authority over Helen as she took on her new position.Instead, she turned the tables and revealed all the dirt she had on them. She was clearly more than just a pretty face—she was a fighter who could throw a punch."Either way, I'm done." Helen shrugged just then. "You can all leave now, and I won't stop anyone here or plead for you to stay like you hope for. Instead, these documents will be publicized, and I will call for a shareholders' meeting where we will decide your respective replacements. You will all pay for your stupidity."Her blunt words finally made them understand, and Mr. King—who had been insulting Helen in every way possible earlier—dropped to his knee

    As the board members all realized that Helen may be better than Kallum, they knew that their best option right now was to apologize and surrender their authority in hopes that Helen would keep them around.That was the only way to keep what they had instead of losing everything. It was frustrating, but none of them had the guts to oppose Helen now.All the contempt and dismissive attitude before was now replaced by fear and reverence."Hmph. Since you're all being so earned, I guess I can forgive you."Helen glanced at Frank before looking around at the board members. "I promise not to pursue responsibility for your previous transgressions, but you are still obliged to reimburse the company for the damages you cause. I have taken over this company with the goal to lead it to new heights, and I promise that no one would lose out if you are with me. Everyone would be showered in riches, even… So, can you do that?"The board members were certainly grateful for her extraordinary magna

    The dramatic entrance of the goons left everyone stunned.However, it was clear that Kallum had arranged for them to wait near the conference room, then charge inside once he gave the signal and kill everyone.The board members who had just turned against him became pale at the sight, even as they felt pangs of danger.Kallum was laughing loudly in turn, as if everyone there was beneath him. "Don't worry, Helen." He gloated. "You won't die alone—these spineless vermin are coming with you! Keep dreaming big when you're dead, boys! Hahaha!!!"Unexpectedly, Helen did not panic even as she watched the goons charge in.In fact, she was sneering. "Don't you think you're being naive here, Mr. Gaetz? Did you really think I wasn't ready for a fight? Of course I expected this!" On one hand, she was offering the panicky board members assurance so they did not have to change sides again.On the other, she was attempting to intimidate Kallum, but he was not falling for it at all.In fact

    Frank snorted. "Alright, I'm hanging up. I'm getting started over here soon.""Yeah. Good luck," Jouri replied.Hanging up, Frank looked up at the waterfall overhead, and then at Skyler, who was standing beside him. "So? Is it time yet?""Almost… Now!" Skyler's eyes were glowing even as she stared at her watch."Alright."Frank looked up just as the skies abruptly darkened. "Ah, there it is—the eclipse."The sun seemed to disappear, and the world was suddenly shrouded in darknesses.And beside him, a stone door imbued with the power of the spiritron vein also rumbled as it parted."Got it!" Frank rushed inside without another word as soon as he saw it."Hmph. I'm surprised that you could reach this place." A cold, wrathful voice resounded inside even before Frank got a hold of his surroundings.Looking up, Frank found a youth in a black cossack and sporting grey-white hair, standing upon a cliff as he looked down on him.Frank chuckled. "Hehe. Like I said, I've come to kill

    Frank narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?'Crane shrugged. "I don't mind giving it to you straight—members of Torrent are actually… Ahem. A part of Torrent himself."Frank paused. "What's that supposed to mean?""You don't get it, do you?" Crane grinned. "Then let me put it to you this way—every member is a clone of Torrent.""A clone?" Frank gasped in realization."Yes," Crane nodded. "That's why I believe that challenging Crane is just suicide. You have no idea how powerful he is—only death awaits you down that path."Frank smirked. "Oh, but I don't think so."Crane rolled his eyes. "Fine, whatever—now listen closely. You will find Torrent in the Mystic Trail, but you would only find that place when the sun and moon coincide, and the entrance is beneath the waterfall south of Horton."As he finished, he snorted coldly. "I have no idea if you can actually do it, but I'm hoping you do kill him… Heh. I'm getting tired of being stuck under his control for so long."Then, waving off

    Frank abruptly turned, immediately noticing one of the Cranes crouching, ready to spring forward and blindside him."Got you!" He laughed."Hah! You fell for it!"Just as Frank swung a punch to pulverize that Crane, he suddenly burst into pus that splashed at Frank's face."Damn it!" Frank took a step back, surprised that the clone's presence was identical to the real Crane, and a trap on top of that!"Die!"The Cranes around him each whipped out a dagger, all of them stabbing at Frank at the same time."Get off!" Frank bellowed, unleashing a shockwave that sent all the Cranes flying across all directions."Frank! Above you!" Skyler suddenly shrieked."Yes! I'm right here!" A strange laughter sounded above Frank just as he wiped the pus off his face.Crane was suddenly directly above him, launching an aerial kick straight at Frank's head, and Frank had no time to dodge!"Die!" Crane's smile curled into a twisted angle as he saw that too.He was very confident with this kick

    "Disgusting…" Skyler murmured through her hand.Despite being skinned and scalped, the women were all still alive and singing to the music that was playing despite their anguish."Talk about a terrible fetish."Frank was scowling too—why were all the members of Torrent such sick deviants? It seemed like his plan to wipe them out was absolutely correct!"So, you killed my clone?"The lanky man on the couch slowly turned to level his bloodshot eyes at Frank.His lips were wet with bed as they curled upward into an eerie smile."Clone?" Frank narrowed his eyes."Hehe. It's a sage art."Crane shrugged as he stood up and wiped the blood off his lips. "It's only natural that you don't understand… Still, you deserve praise. If you can kill my clone, that means you're not just slightly stronger than Ghost."Naturally, the man was none other than the real Crane.Still, as Skyler studied him from a corner, even she could notice the strange twitch of his fingers, and his veins were pro

    Even as Crane ran, he was looking over his shoulder, his heart pounding. "No… I won't win in a one-on-one!"No, as long as I get back to my real body… we can do this together!" He frowned, having seen how Frank sliced off the pinkies of those hood rats. It hence quickly dawned on him that Frank was not just slightly stronger than Ghost, as Torrent had put it!"Almost there!" He gasped when he saw the signboard of Pegasus Showtown in the distance. "As long as I get there and rendezvous with my real body, that brat will lose—"That was when he turned and saw that a shadow had caught up with impossible speed."What?!" Crane's eyes almost popped out in bewilderment. "What speed is that?! Are you kidding—"Even as he spotted the shadow, the shadow turned into a youth with an impassive visage.His fist outstretched, he was clearly punching toward Crane's forehead!"Argh…"Even as Crane looked on, the youth's punch slowed down by tenfold, but his fist kept closing in.Then, whe

    Seeing Skyler sigh, the tattooed thug presumed that his extortion worked.He strode up, grabbing Frank's shoulder. "No one's gonna help you, boy. Pay up, or you're not leaving.""Exactly! You're not getting away!" the crowd of hood rats hollered. "Last chance."Frank's eyes were cold and fixed on Dani, however. "Are you going to intervene? If you do, you can keep that check. If you don't…""Ugh. Fuck off! I don't care!" Dani spat, her expression smug as she folded her arms before her chest. "Who do you think you are to threaten me?!""Exactly! Pay up, and you can leave!""Yeah! Ten grand, at least!""You probably don't know my boss Wyvern, but when he's here, you won't get away with just ten grand!"Even as the crowd closed in, Frank shook his head. "Well, you had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next.""You're giving us a chance?! Hah! Who—argh!"Even before Dani could finish gloating, Frank was suddenly in front of her, grabbing her viciously by the wrist."Arg

    "Five grand?! Did you hear that?! He just threw five grand!""Must be a rich kid coming here for a secret rendezvous, out of prying eyes? Those types are the easiest mark!""Fuck! And Dani got one of us… It hurts me more than losing at the races!"Frank could hear the buzz around him but ignored it as he strode past the men flanking him and headed toward the street that stank of blood."Stop!" A big tattooed man grinned sinisterly as he intercepted Frank.As his buddies encircled Frank as well, Frank snorted—it seemed that they took his reaction for a sign of weakness and thought that he could be cowed.The tattooed man rubbed his chin as he leered at Skyler's voluptuous figure, chuckling. "Look, boy. I'm short on cash, so let me take a loan. I'll pay you back some other day, how about that?"His friend laughed. "Exactly! You just gave Dani five grand, and we won't ask for more… just four, how about that?"Skyler scowled in turn and glanced worriedly at Frank beside her—was he

    Frank himself had just stepped out of the nightclub when his eyes narrowed."Blood," he murmured, his nostrils twitching."Blood?"Skyler sniffed the air, puzzled. "I can't smell it.""It's from the opposite street… I smell the blood of over a dozen people.""A dozen?!" Skyler did a double take.He could identify the number of people who were killed?! That was just ridiculous!"Come on, let's take a look."Just as Frank led the way toward the source of the stench, a woman suddenly came up, catching Frank off guard and throwing herself into his arms."Hmmm?" He looked down to see that she had thick makeup, average looks, and a rather pudgy belly."Argh! He touched me!" she pointed at Frank and shrieked even before he realized what was happening."What?!" Skyler was staring at the woman too, mystified."Oh, sister! You just didn't see it!"The woman kept hollering, pointing at Frank's face. "Your boyfriend grabbed my ass! Is that how you teach him manners?!""Teach him ma

    Wyvern screamed even as he clutched the stump that was his hand, screaming so shrilly one might mistake his voice as inhuman."Oh, just shut up." The lanky man glowered and launched a kick, reducing Wyvern into puddles of blood and pieces of innards, splattering all around the lobby. "Argh!!!" the devilish lady screamed as she watched the carnage unfolded."Another sound, and you'd end up just like him." The lanky man turned and frowned at her impatiently."Hngh…" The devilish lady promptly clasped a hand over her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes as she trembled."What the hell?!"Outside, Wyvern's lackeys heard the screams and ran inside, looking for him. "Hey, where's Wyvern?!"However, the lobby was too dimly lit for them to notice the blood and guts scattered around the walls, and they only sensed that terrible stench."Hngh…" The devilish lady was too scared to speak, and tears trickled out of her eyes."Fuck!"One of the lackeys strode up and seized the lanky man
