Chapter 1279

Author: Chu
Even if the guests refused to believe Frank, a man from nowhere, Tet had a reputation to protect and had no reason to lie.

Even if he conspired with Frank and defended him, once the pill was sold and proved ineffective, his reputation as a magister would go up in smoke—it was simply not worth it.

As such, the only explanation for that was that he was speaking the truth.

But even as everyone was left gaping and speechless, Gene took the stage with perfect timing.

He walked up to Frank, clapping him on the shoulder as everyone looked on in shock, speaking quietly, "By the way, I forgot to mention something—this man, Frank Lawrence, is a healer who practices Draconian traditional medicine. He also saved me from the brink, curing me from my sickly self and allowing me to strut once more!"

"What?!"

Both Hugh and Dennis were dumbstruck, with Dennis still on his knees.

Their faces turned pale even as they stared at Frank and Gene, while Gene continued, "As such, I swear by my honor as

    The security guards all nodded in response. "Yes, sir!"Hugh's face fell right then, and he promptly turned toward Gene to beg, "Please, Mr. Pearce! I'm sorry… Please forgive me! I'll apologize, alright?! I didn't mean to bring a fake vase! I never mean to insult you, and I shouldn't have bad-mouthed you… Please, for the sake of the Turnbull family…"His undignified please only left Gene frowning, and he sneered at Hugh as everyone watched. "The Turnbulls? Really? You still have the cheek to mention them?! You've already humiliated them more than enough times! This is just a minor punishment—even Glen Turnbull himself can't argue against that if he was here!"Then, looking up at the security guards, he barked coldly, "Do it!"There was an audible crunch from the stage as Hugh's bones were broken, leaving the crowd cringing.At that moment, they came to understand the savagery that lay beneath Gene's usually mild-mannered appearance.In the end, Gene did not get where he was today

    Gene was quite the sly old fox, quickly inflating the price up to five billion before anyone could react.However, while Tet had confirmed that the Jade Marrow Pill was real, they doubted that it could really extend one's lifespan.As such, with Gene going all out from the start with a five billion bid, the hall was left silent.Gene was exceedingly pleased to see that, but before he could announce that he won the bid, Tet strode up despite his hesitation."Apologies, Mr. Pearce, but I need this because it's more than just a pill to me," he said and raised his hand. "I'm making a bid with everything I have—thirty billion.""What?!""Thirty billion?!"All the guests in the hall gasped at the number.They were all individuals who were not in need of money, but it was still too much for them to pay thirty billion dollars to bet on a tiny pill with uncertain effects.Gene was scowling right then, but considering that it was Tet, he sighed. "Do you mean to mess with me, magister?"

    "Heh…"Frank smiled and held up a hand—it really was nothing, though Frank did earn himself a favor."Sold! The Jade Marrow Pill goes to Magister Boran for thirty billion dollars!" Gene announced.Even as the guest clapped, they were left a loss—thirty billion, gone just like that!And for a tiny pill… It was just ridiculous!Nonetheless, with the pill sold, the charity auction continued.However, the guests were not particularly interested in anything else after Frank's pill was sold for an astronomical price.And with that, the charity auction ended.It was late by the time Frank left the hotel. Gene tried to ask him to stay for dinner, but Frank did not want to stay since he wanted to return to condition himself.Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gene caught his wrist and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, we're basically brothers—your enemies are mine, and I will be there to back you up no matter what happens. Just name-drop me if anyone's being rude to you, and you can avoid what happe

    With that in mind, Frank turned toward Gene. "Sorry, I can't sit still and I hate troublesome work, so I can't be a hospital chief.""Really? Then there's no helping it…"Disappointment showed in Gene's eyes, but he did not press Frank.That was when Frank smiled as his tone changed sharply. "But I have a person in mind.""Who?" Gene exclaimed in surprise."My sister, Winter Lawrence.""Winter Lawrence?"Gene murmured the name, and frowned. "Well, she would have to prove herself with her abilities…""Don't worry—she graduated from Riverton University, and I'll be teaching her personally too. She'd definitely be up for it."Gene's frown eased with Frank's assurance, and he nodded, satisfied. "In that case, the new chief of Zamri Hospital is decided. When can your sister take the job?""In a month," Frank said after some thought."Alright." Gene smiled, agreeing to it right away. "Since she's your sister, I trust you, though I must give you a head's up—the head of departments

    Winter asked her mother Carol Zims too, but Carol had no idea what had happened too.The only possibility was that Frank had changed her clothes, which means he would have seen her body…That was why Winter had been at once embarrassed and scared, picking up her phone endless times but unable to call Frank.And now, Frank was saying that he was taking her to Zamri… did that mean he was taking responsibility?She stood, one hand holding her shoe and the other holding her phone, her cheeks flushed as she froze in place."Winter?! Winter!" Frank had to shout over the phone to bring Winter to her senses, just as she noticed that she was smiling blissfully for some reason. "Oh, I'm here. Frank. You're taking me to Zamri, right? I'll be there right now—wait…"Hearing Winter fumble on the other end, Frank asked in concern, "Are you alright?""I'm fine! I'm fine!" Winter quickly said. "I'm heading to a gathering with my classmates right now. Can you come to White Court Hotel if you ca

    "Oh, them?"Jean pursed her lips in disdain, exasperated. "They're our seniors by a few years, and Yew Daley was the one who called them here, saying that they can help us with our internship issues.""I see." Winter nodded, but before she could say more, a man with stubble all over his cheeks and who clearly meant business sat down right beside Winter."What's your name?" he asked, while looking Winter from head to toe pointedly as he inched closer."I-I'm Winter Lawrence," she replied, frowning while keeping her distance."Oh, Winter? Such a nice name…"The man chuckled and pointed at himself. "I'm Dean Summer. I'm your senior by a year, and I'm a physiologist at the Riverton Hospital subsidiary.""Over there is Sunny Cabat, an ophthalmologist at Riverton Hospital.""And over there is Jarek Wilk, who owns a small hospital in Norsedam."The men Dean introduced all smiled and nodded at Winter, but they were looking at her sinisterly.Sensing their intention, Winter sprang to

    Dean sneered. "But that's not the case if you have a referral letter. With that, you'll just have to work as an intern for a couple of months before you receive cases directly. In a few years, you will be promoted. Remember—I sacrificed myself to get you this opportunity. How could you call this prostitution?""That's right, Jean."Yew sprang to her feet as she added coolly, "Our senior worked hard for this opportunity for our sake—we must seize it. And it's no big deal anyway—what's the difference between doing it with a boyfriend and our senior?""Shut up!"Jean snapped at her, "Do you think everyone's just like you? Does your boyfriend know what you've been doing while he's working to pay for your tuition?! You're cheating on him and prostituting yourself, so don't think you can tell us what to do here!""Shut up!"Yew bellowed, springing to her feet like a cat that had its tail stomped on. "He may have funded my studies, but our social standing is different now! He's just a w

    "Frank…"Even as the men tore at Winter's clothes, her eyes lit up in excitement as she watched the door being kicked wide open.But it was a tanned man with a mean glare, looking around in his thirties, who stood there.There were more men behind him filing into the room, clearly having helped the man kick the door open."Hmph." Ivor Bearson snorted. "You scumbags couldn't wait for the rest of us?""Oh… I'm so sorry, Mr. Bearson!" Sunny promptly flashed a fawning smile, at once standing at attention.Dean let go of Winter too and moved to stand alongside Jarek like obedient children."It's not Frank…" Winter felt gnawing disappointment inside her, but she soon realized that she always thought of Frank whenever she was in danger.Was she getting too dependent on him?Before Winter came to her senses, however, Ivor was in front of him, grinning sleazily as he lifted her chin with a finger."Tut, tut… the girls these years really look good. I'll have this one!""Haha! That

    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
