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,

    "Hahaha…"Frank was suddenly laughing out loud after looking around at the place, which left the approached thugs stunned."What's wrong?" Helen turned worriedly toward Frank—did he snap mentally because he spent 500 million on a useless plot of land?As various possibilities came to mind, Helen was left staring as Frank turned to smile at her and winked. "If my hunch is right, your mom really dropped the ball here.""What?" Helen's eyes widened in confusion, increasingly worried that Frank had really snapped.Frank, however, looked pointedly around him at the land. "This plot of land and everything built on it is due for demolition in two weeks. Zamri City Hall is ready to build a highway through this land.""Do you know what that means?" He grinned at Helen, and finished before she could answer. "The value of this land lot will increase more than tenfold! Hahaha… We've really hit the jackpot here, Helen!"Helen frowned suspiciously at his words. "How would you know? The city

    The thugs were all clearly armed with baseball bats and machetes, cutting off Frank and Helen's escape.In an instant, the quiet rundown building was suddenly lively.Vroom!Bike engines roared and catcalls followed as over a dozen biking thugs sped down the road, their tyres screeching as they came to a halt beside Frank and Helen.Now, they were really surrounded."It's too late to leave now!" Terry gloated and laughed out loud.The other thugs started laughing too—with over a hundred of them doing it at the same time, one could almost feel the building rumble."What do you want?!" Helen snapped, even as she realized in dismay that they had entered the literal wolves' den.While she was absolutely confident in Frank's abilities, she was still worried since there were too many of them in the Blood Wolves."What do I want, you asked?!" Ted suddenly spat on the floor and glared at Frank threateningly, sneering, "I should be the one asking what you want! Buying this land?! Did

    At Terry 'Ted' Cotton's orders, the thugs would charge at Frank and cut him into pieces!Still, Ted was narrowing his eyes at the immeasurably arrogant man, feeling just a hint of wariness.Could he be a member of some important family or the apprentice of one of the South Sea Sects?"You have balls, kid," he said. "Where are you from?""Nowhere. I'm just Frank Lawrence, head of Lanecorp's health and security department," Frank replied confidently.Ted actually did a double take.Lanecorp? As in the company?And the head of Lanecorp's health and security department… It actually took Ted a while to come to a realization, though he felt humiliated when he understood what Frank was saying. Head of Lanecorp's health and security department?! That just meant he was some glorified security guard!And a security guard had the balls to threaten him?!Incensed, Ted bellowed while pointing at Frank right then, "Go! Break every bone in his body! Spare that woman—I will have her warm

    Seeing that the Blood Wolves were ready to run away, Frank moved to stop their leader, Terry 'Ted' Cotton, from doing the same.He had to admit that he appreciated the man, especially since he had been overly dramatic with that punch earlier.And yet, Ted quickly recognized from that single strike that he and his gang would never win against Frank, and he surrendered unconditionally.That alone made him a decisive person."Trying to run? Well, too late." Frank returned Terry's threat word for word but soon smiled. "Anyway, this isn't everyone in your gang, is it?""What…?" Terry was sweating bullets at Frank's question—was he going to attack the Blood Wolves now?!Still, he gulped and braced himself to answer. "You're right, sir. We're just a small cell of the Blood Wolves… there has been some disagreements in the gang, and I had no choice but to move here with my boys…""Disagreements? Really?" Frank moved closer, rubbing his chin.Seeing that Frank was curious, Ted could not

    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
