Marco disappeared in a flash, leaving Yara frozen in place while Polo kept charging at her!Yara was trying to threaten Marco so that she could be free, but now that Marco withdrew, she somehow could not move.She felt as if there was an unseen power keeping her in place, her limbs seemingly held in place by four threads.Soon, she was watching as Polo's fist approached her face!"Shit," Yara swore under her breath and closed her eyes in reflex.But at that very moment, Frank whipped out a silver needle and flicked it at Yara's elbow. Yara's body lurched as she suddenly launched a punch!Pow!Right after that, Yara stumbled backward and landed in Frank's arms."Don't move," he whispered into her ears, putting a hand on her shoulder.There were indeed four threads attached to Yara, connecting her to Jaud's palm.No one could see the threads under the sun, and it was Jaud who kept her frozen in place just now, directing his vigor to immobilize her limbs!Yara frowned—even no
Donald laughed, "Haha! How typical, young 'uns getting acquainted with the way of the fist."Vicky certainly did not believe that it was just a friendly spar, though she had no reason to get hostile when Frank and Yara were just fine."Anyway, we shall be leaving," she said. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Salazar."Donald nodded. "Do think about my proposal, Ms. Turnbull. I'll be waiting.""I certainly will," Vicky said and left with Yara and Frank, her expression already cool.Donald watched as they left before his eyes narrowed."Mr. White, how did those two fare?" he asked."Bleurgh!" Jaud suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood just as he was about to speak, leaving Donald, Marco, and Polo utterly shocked!"Mr. White!" "What happened there?" Donald quickly asked."The kid's not your typical martial artist," Jaud growled through his teeth. "We were wrestling with our vigors, but that kid left me coughing blood."Donald was left gaping. "What?! Are you saying he'
Frank's words were utterly impressive, and Vicky breathed a sigh of relief in turn. "Well, there's nothing to worry about since you've said that. Anyway, you two are coming with me back to the office—I'd at least have protection."It seemed that they should stay safe for the time being.Frank did not argue, since he had nothing to do at the hotel anyway.They headed to Grande Corpe's offices, where Yara followed Vicky to her office. Not only was she Vicky's bodyguard, but she was also Vicky's personal assistant who could assist with office tasks.On the other hand, Frank knew nothing about that, so he went to the VIP lounge alone since it would be pointless going to Vicky's office with them.It was a quiet place, and Frank found a comfortable spot to close his eyes and rest, focusing his internal energies…After a while, the door opened.Frank opened his eyes to find that it was Greg Marsh, though he was alone this time.Since Frank was alone in the spacious lounge, Greg imme
Greg said smugly, "I have a special person I'd like to recommend to you.""A special person?" Vicky asked."Yes," Greg assured her, patting her chest. "He graduated from a famous university and could more than hold his own."Vicky simply smiled. "The executives of Grande Corp are all graduates from famous universities too. Surely that doesn't hold sway…""Yes, but he's also Dan Zimmer's granddaughter's fiance," Greg said. "Surely you have heard of the man?""Oh…" Vicky inhaled sharply.She was certainly acquainted with Dan and Janet… but she never heard that Janet had a boyfriend.However, if Dan was accepting, the man must be good with medicine. Since Vicky was just founding a pharmaceutical company, she urgently needed such talents."If what you say is true, he can report to work at any time," she said."May I ask what his position would be?" Greg asked in return.Vicky thought about it. "My personal consultant, with a monthly fifty grand salary."She would pay through h
Dan was taken aback. "Arrange an engagement?" His granddaughter was certainly not young, but she showed no inclination to marry, so he could not do much even if he was anxious for her.Still, he could not resist asking, "May I ask who's the gentleman you'd be recommending?""I'm afraid he's not from an important family." Greg started lowballing. "But I'm sure he'll soon become someone special."To be honest, Lane Holdings was insignificant to the upper echelons of Riverton. However, their future was definitely inestimable since they were partnered with Vicky!"Oh…" Dan was actually not interested—what Greg was saying was that the man he recommended was some average Joe with neither riches nor influence. Surely his treasured granddaughter should not suffer such… shame!Still, Greg quickly added, "Hold on, Mr. Zimmer. He's only in his twenties, and though he may not have influence or riches, he's already Vicky's personal consultant. Do you think he would still fall short with su
"Frank?" Janet was a little surprised, having met Frank and witnessed his immaculate depth with medicine.Still, why would he suddenly be interested in a blind date? He had her number, and he could speak to her directly if he was interested."Did he say it himself?" Janet asked.Dan shook his head. "Greg Marsh told me. I'm guessing Frank asked him to be a middleman—it's quite formal of him to get a go-between."Janet could not help remembering Frank's face at that.He was outstanding in medicine and had both the looks and the figure. He was completely Janet's type, and it would be good if she could date him.She had never considered the issue before, but since Frank had asked someone to help, he must have been interested in her for a while.When could it be?Still, Janet could not help smiling at the idea. It seemed that she just had to work hard, and a successful man would eventually see her good points."Janet, we should at least show Greg some respect for getting involv
Gina nodded repeatedly. "For sure."Greg's expression turned serious just then. "By the way, I recently started a cosmetics company. The technical consultant is a friend who studied abroad in Minerva, and all the equipment was imported from there. Once the products hit the market, it would definitely take Riverton by storm, but my friend holds too much stake, and I'm worried I can't control the company in the future. I'm hoping you can help me."Gina did not expect Greg to actually ask her for help, and she said without hesitation, "Oh, what are you saying? You just have to tell me if you need help, and I'll do all I can."Greg sighed in turn. "I'd like to borrow some money to help me leverage against my friend's shares—you can be a shareholder too. We will both be able to call the shots in the company with that."Gina was shocked, surprised that Greg would give her shares—it was as if they were already married.Moreover, he first helped cure Helen's face and now helped arrange an
Janet lowered her head shyly as soon as she saw Frank, while Dan laughed heartily. "You're early, Mr. Lawrence. But since you're here, let's go in together!""Oh… Actually, I just finished work."Dan nodded. "Well, you'd be busy after getting promoted to being Ms. Turnbull's personal consultant recently. Your future is bright!"Frank waved him off. "Oh, you're exaggerating, Mr. Zimmer."Moreover, he was just her personal bodyguard and not a consultant… to think that word traveled fast, and even Dan found out."Well, you're here anyway. Let's go in!" Dan said."Go… where?'"The restaurant!" Dan chuckled.Frank was bemused and presumed that Dan was buying him dinner.In that case, why did he not call ahead of time? Still, since he had not eaten, Frank said, "Alright! I'll go upstairs to get changed—I'll be right down.""Sure," Dan said. "We'll be waiting for you in the private room."It was only then that he noticed Frank was dressed casually—he was certainly respectful, get
