Helen was clearly aware of who got her into this trouble.

Just yesterday, when Peter returned, she thought for a moment that unlike Cindy, she could afford to arrange a job for him, only for him to sell her out in the blink of an eye.

"I would have gutted you if you weren't my brother!" Helen bellowed.

Peter could only cringe into himself, hanging his head.

Frank had never seen Helen being that upset, and was about to reach out to comfort her… only for her to throw herself into his arms and bawling, "Why, Frank?! Why is my family like this…?"

"It's alright. I'm here." Frank patted her on the back, carefully comforting her.

"I-I'm sorry, sis. I had no choice…" Peter stammered just then.

"Forget it. I don't need your explanation," Helen snapped, a girlboss as always as she quickly composed herself, wiping away her tears.

Waving Peter away, she sighed. "You can stay in Riverton like Cindy. Don't ever come to Zamri—I don't want to see any of you here."

"But…"

    Worst of all, Larry's brother was a part of it!Helen sighed. "Larry is really nothing compared to his brother—that man is the real heart of Zomber Group, lurking in the shadows. It was his plan to use you, as he just told me that!"Peter dropped to his knees, petrified. If Larry's brother found out that he was the one who killed Larry, someone as unprotected and as unimportant as him would definitely be destroyed!"W-What should I do?! Helen… Frank! Please, you have to help me!"Frank folded his arms before his chest and snorted, clearly not interested in getting involved. "I was going to spare Larry, but you insisted on killing him. You just have to live with the consequences now.""Frank's right. You just have to live with it yourself," Helen agreed coolly. "Did you think I'd still help you after you set me up, not caring what would happen to Lanecorp or my modesty?!"While Peter's soul seemed to be drained by Frank and Helen's sentence, he was left kneeling limply on the floo

    "Oh? Helen, you're here!" Cindy exclaimed as she strode in Gina's ward just then, and sighed when she saw Helen. "You really have to help Aunt Gina out this time.""What is it?" Helen asked, despite already feeling impatient. "I'll tell her," Gina said, her indignation suddenly gone as she tried to cry but could not even manage that."Oh, Helen… I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed and looked ready to slam her head into the wall, but Helen stopped her. "What's going on, Mom?" Helen was certainly confused—what trouble did Gina cause for her this time?!"Helen, do you know Larry Jameson? One of Zamri's Three Bears?" Cindy asked just then."Larry Jameson?" Helen's heart skipped a beat at the name. "I do. What's up?""Well, Peter returned to Riverton a few days ago and came straight to me, saying he had a serious business deal for me…" Gina trailed off, sobbing.Cindy quickly continued, "Peter asked us to buy a land lot owned by Larry, saying that it would be used for future development

    After everyone cursed Peter out for a while, Helen brought the conversation back on track. "Mom, how did you get hurt?"Cindy shrugged and said quietly, "Aunt Gina couldn't find Peter or Larry, so she went to Zomber Group to demand her money back. They refused since she had signed an agreement, so she started arguing, and there was a little scuffle and she hit her head on the wall.""Mom… You've really messed up big time!" Helen sighed, knowing that the fault was not entirely on Gina.Her baby boy was just too heinous, tricking his own mother and then doing the same to his sister, even selling off his own sister for money.One could only say that he was as brazen as he was heinous.Helen frowned. "Calm down, Mom. Just tell me—how much money did you lose? I'll see if I can help pay it off."Gina opened her mouth but turned to Cindy since she was too embarrassed to say it."This much," Cindy said, spreading her palm."Fifty million?"Helen was taken aback, but took a deep breath

    Gina had no comeback against Helen's outburst and leapt out of bed, rushing to the wall and slamming her head on it, howling as she did. "Oh, Helen! I'm so sorry… I had no choice… I'll just die to make up to you—"In just a couple of bangs, she was bleeding freely into her bandages.However, Helen caught her and snapped, "Stop! I can't pay up if you die here! You'd better think of something to get the money back! Call Peter and tell him to come over right now!""O-Okay…" Gina picked up her phone and quickly called Peter's number, only for Peter to hang up after it rang a little."What? What's going on?" Gina exclaimed in surprise.At the same time, Helen turned toward Frank—could Kit Jameson have taken Peter already?"I'll call him." Frank went over to Gina, got Peter's number from her, and called.Peter answered after two rings, his tone neutral. "Hello?""Come to the hospital right now, Peter," Frank ordered."Oh, that's interesting. And why should I listen to you?""Hmm?"

    "That's right!"Gina smacked herself on the forehead after hearing Cindy's suggestion, exclaiming in realization, "Why didn't I think of that? You're so smart, Cindy!""That's for sure, but…"Cindy snorted, casting a brief glance at Helen while pouting. "Someone just doesn't see it."Helen was certainly aware Cindy meant her but did not bother to get petty, saying solemnly, "It's not going to work. Anyone who has that much money to waste would be smart—the land won't be that appealing even as bait."Cindy simply giggled coolly, not bothered that she was causing trouble. "Oh, so you're suggesting that Aunt Gina isn't smart? Talk about being veiled insults!" Gina scowled at that—even if she was wrong to believe Peter, it still upset her that her daughter would insult her like this."That's not what I mean, Mom…"Helen sighed, shaking her head as she found no strength to explain herself. "Whatever. Just do what you like, but I don't think anyone would be willing to take that land

    "Frank's not interested."Helen immediately stood between Gina and Frank, staring fixedly at her mother as she snapped, "I know what you're planning to do, but you made your bed, so sleep on it. Don't think about dragging Frank into your mess!""Why do you always side with others?!" Gina snapped at her in frustration. "I would be dead if I can't sell that land! Shouldn't Frank do something if he wants to marry my daughter?!""Frank gave you a ruby, but you had to lose it!" Helen retorted, mentioning old grudges as she refused to let her family bother Frank. "That's… different!" Gina retorted, clearly lacking confidence but soon steeling herself and snapping, "We lost the ruby, but that's in the past! You're my daughter, and your position is different now as you control both Lane Holdings and Lanecorp. That's not to mention there's that luxurious farm resort making you millions everyday! Shouldn't Frank pay a dowry if he wants to marry my daughter?!"Despite Gina's obvious inflati

    Gina was certainly worried that Frank would change his mind, and all her fawning smile and cajoling over the past half hour would end up pointless.However, she was obviously worried over nothing since Frank really would not care about a mere 500 million dollars.In fact, he called Trevor Zurich right away, asking him to wire the money to Gina's account and sign his name on the agreement.Helen was scowling grumpily once he was done, while Gina beamed."Oh, Frank," she chirped. "Why don't you stay for the day? I'll treat you and Helen to dinner.""That's unnecessary," Frank replied quietly, shaking his head. "I'll be surveying the land and see if there's any use for it, so that I won't lose too much money."Frank's reply was sincere, just as Gina received a notification from the bank.Gina was hugely relieved to see that and was immediately less enthusiastic than before.In fact, she was laying down in bed and closing her eyes. "Alright, I won't keep you since you want to surve

    Cold disappointment gripped Helen's heart when she stood at the edge of the land lot, surveying it.Forget an office building—even factories were impractical when this land lot is so far from the main road!While there were projects within the area, every block was starting to lean to one side. Cracks were showing on the walls too—they were obvious signs of disrepair."Frank… 500 million… For this land! We've really taken the fall here." Helen sighed dejectedly—in her point of view, the land was worthless!The projects were mostly empty too, and most units were unoccupied."Well, you'd never know." Frank smiled just then and headed toward the projects before Helen did.They did not make it too far when they found a group of thugs huddling together, playing poker at a rundown lobby. They all looked very young but were dressed ridiculously.One of them, who was facing the entrance, spotted Helen and Frank entering and was at once stunned."Hey! It's your call, Blackie!""What,

    Frank's tone was calm, as if he was merely stating a fact. "What's there to deny? Even if I spilled my guts, do you stand a chance against me? See, no one does!"The man was furious—he had met plenty of conceited individuals, but Frank definitely took the crown!And seeing that Frank was not even in his thirties and was definitely small fry, he did not hesitate to slam his palm on the ground, which promptly started to move! "Interesting!"Frank stood his ground instead of leaping away, staring cooly at the molehills that streaked toward him. Even as the molehills were reaching Frank's feet, the man was left wondering why Frank did not dodge when the unexpected happened.The molehills struck the brat, but he remained unscathed!Earthbending was their cabal's signature technique, capable of causing seismic tremors—even if it was no match for real earthquakes, most people would still have trouble dealing with it.They were either torn into pieces by the shockwave, though the mor

    Frank waited for a taxi and headed to his destination. Soon, the taxi stopped outside a dilapidated apartment.As Frank alighted and stared at the cracks on every block or the shaky foundations, even he could tell that it was in such a bad state it must be demolished. Shaking his head, he sighed in exasperation and entered the fifth unit on the sixth floor of Block D.He knocked on the door, and a smiling geezer opened it as he studied him. "What can I do for you, sir?"Able to tell right away that he was special, Frank asked, "Let's just call it a visit. I heard you could craft mystic items?"The geezer laughed right then. "I knew it. The nail that sticks out really gets hammered! I just want to keep my head down and live out my days, but you found me anyway.""Please don't misunderstand, sir," Frank quickly said. "I'm no robber, and I'm not going to steal from you. As long as you assist me, I can do anything for you.""Let's talk inside." The geezer stepped aside to let Fr

    The motel owner thought Frank was trustworthy and told him everything he knew."Good. Thanks for cooperation—now do it yourself."Frank snapped his fingers again, and the mystic gun returned, lying quietly beside the motel owner as if it never disappeared."What? You're a martial elite! Don't you think people would talk behind your back about our deceit?!"The motel owner thought Frank was joking, but his expression was not.As such he pinned his hopes on emotional blackmail, but Frank was impervious to that too, even chuckling. "What's there to worry about? It'd just be hearsay, and they would be gone a couple of centuries later."Also, everyone would only find out if I spared you instead of avenging your victims. Now that's proper evil. You're naive if you think that I'm not the scourge of injustice. You won't be getting any chances from me."Even as reality sank in for the motel owner, he cried, "Y-You can't do this! We had an agreement!"Frank shrugged. "First of all, I onl

    The motel owner snorted. "You're all so ignorant! It's true that most guns are pointless against Ascendant ranks, but this is no ordinary gun—it's a mystical item refined by a master craftsman."Not only are the bullets much faster, the gun's penetration power is even more formidable. I used it to bury many while I was young—even martial elites like you!"Everyone became restless at those.However, while Drunken Moon and the others were worried, Frank was actually excited.Mystic items were a quintessential part of high fantasy, and he might reach a treasure trove through the master craftsman whom the motel owner spoke of."Aren't you scared?" the motel owner asked just then, puzzled seeing that Frank was fearless, even smiling.Frank chuckled. "Why should I worry about a mere toy? Start shooting if you want—I'm sure everyone's busy and has better things to do."The middle-aged man snapped, "You're getting too full of yourself, brat! That thing has clearly seen plenty of action

    Drunken Moon was definitely not going to tolerate that, and she snapped, "What are you going to do if I don't apologize?"The motel owner growled coolly, "I've already shown you what I can do, and I don't mind showing it again. Don't take me for some angel—push me too far, and I'll even make you my slave."Drunken Moon was simply amused. "Then show me what you've got to grow as conceited as you are!"The middle-aged man was snapping at Drunken Moon even before the motel owner could. "Bitch, you can't even win against my friends! What, do you think you can challenge me just because you have your boy toy?"He's quick, but so what?! Speed is pointless against absolute power!"The motel owner certainly felt buoyed by the flattery. After all, one would never look a gift horse in the mouth, and there was no one who despised being praised.Spreading his arms, he laughed. "Come on—seeing those pretty cheeks of yours, let me give you a nice hug.""Go fuck yourself!" Drunken Moon snapped,

    Frank gestured at the door with his chin, and everyone turned to see a diminutive man.Despite his small frame, his eyes made it clear he was no average Joe. There was also a spring in his step—clearly having treated himself physically."Hello, everyone. I'm the owner of this premises!"The owner was clearly not inclined for matters to escalate, which was why he never intervened.That was until the manager accidentally touched the pendant!It was a family heirloom that, according to the owner's forebears, had the power to eat through everything—it just had yet to be proven.Horrified, the manager told the owner everything, and he came over to check out the situation. He would deal with Frank and the rest of the troublemakers, only to run into the troublemakers first."You're no slouch yourself!"Cyclops was delighted and lunged straight at the owner without hesitation, his hands outstretched like talons.The owner did not even seem to move, but Cyclops somehow missed."Fall."

    Drunken Moon laughed coolly. "You're the one who kept bragging so much at first, saying that the strong decide on justice. And now that I've beaten you, it makes everything I said right, no?"The middle-aged man smirked. "Really? You're good, but not that good—if you're that brave, let me go, and I will call in my boys so we can have a rematch!"Drunken Moon laughed. "Why would I be afraid of that? Though I'm sure you're just going to bail and never come back."The middle-aged man snapped, "Do you think everyone's like you?! If you're afraid, just say it out loud!""Fine, then go. Why are you still here?"Drunken Moon shrugged, even moving aside for him.The middle-aged man smirked as he pushed himself to his feet and fled—the bitch chose this, and she would only have herself to blame for it!The bellgirl was concerned and came over to Drunken Moon. "Priestess, are you sure this is going to be alright?"Drunken Moon laughed. "Don't worry—even if you doubt me, know that the boy

    Her skin and fingers were rotting where the motel manager touched the pendant, as if being corroded by acid at a visible rate. Worst of all, she could not even feel any pain from it!"W-What's going on here?!"Horrified, the motel manager turned and ran.Drunken Moon was ready to give chase, but Frank stopped her. "She's not going to have it easy without her fingers. Let her go."Drunken Moon nodded and pointed at the pendant on the floor. "What the heck is that?"Frank then told her about Reverend Quietus, to which Drunken Room exclaimed, "You meant to say that there are bodies of energy that are basically identical to the paranormal that people speak of?"Frank nodded. "I'm sure it's not just rumors, with the way it remained over a thousand years—things like that do exist. But in the end, it's no different from a spell, and you can handle it if you're strong enough."Drunken Moon smiled. "That only applies to you. I don't know about anyone else, but I really can't deal with th

    After she calmed down, the bellgirl took an interest in Frank. "Is he the one who could beat you?"It was the new age—ladies were not shy, and the bellgirl actually liked lookers like him."Hello." Frank greeted her, and she smiled in turn. "Sorry for having to bother you, handsome."She would really have asked for his number if circumstances allowed.That was when footsteps could be heard, and Frank glanced sideways outside as he told Drunken Moon, "Now's your chance for revenge. Don't hold back now.""You don't need to worry about that!" Drunken Moon exclaimed as she flexed her muscles—she was waiting for this moment.The motel manager led several burly men inside, standing at the center proudly like she owned the place. "That's for insulting me, bitch! Go! Show her who she was messing with!"Though the motel manager did not hesitate to send her men after Drunken Moon, Drunken Moon smirked, waiting until the bouncers were about to reach before punching them.Soon, they wer
