The man quickly let the fangirls and his family clients who were surrounding him, leaving them hanging as he hurried to Frank and dropped on one knee. "What brings you here to Norsedam, Master Lawrence? Why didn't you call?"Naturally, the man was none other than Jaden Favoni, heir to the Favoni family of Norsedam who had just recovered from a terrible case of poisoning.The bigwigs around him were certainly astonished as they looked on.After all, Jaden had always carried himself with pride, but he was now kneeling to some unknown character with such zeal?!Still, only a handful of people were aware that Jaden had recognized Frank as his mentor, and it certainly was no public matter.Therefore, they were all gaping as they watched Jaden address such a young man as his mentor.And their shock only doubled when Jaden's sisters—Chelly Favoni and Stella Favoni—bowed their heads when they saw Frank too. "Greetings, Mr. Lawrence."While the girls were not kneeling like Jaden, the cro
Hence, as everyone looked on, Jaden audibly kowtowed thrice before Frank and took the Jade Marrow Pill with a look of gratitude.As soon as it went down his throat, it turned into pure life essence flowing down Jaden's gullet.Jaden's pupils dilated even as he felt the life essence of the body unfurling in his body, and his body cracked audibly even before he cultivated it.It was a sound that delighted Jaden instead of causing a panic, as it was the sound of his meridians remodeling themselves, while his meridian nexus regenerated and expanded.In fact, he seemed to hear splashing as if from a waterfall, and his withered meridian nexus was suddenly filled with liquid pure vigor.It soon flowed throughout his meridians, repairing his wounded body and organs."What is this pill…"Jaden was astounded—his cheeks were pale and he felt exceedingly tired earlier, but his body was suddenly light and his cheeks were a healthy red.He stared blankly at his hands just then, euphoric as h
The security guard quickly explained, "We didn't say that, Mr. Favoni! It was Mr. Clarke, and—"Smack!Jaden slapped the security guard across the face even before he could finish, sending him tumbling on his rear, cracking a lip."You wretches!"Jaden clenched his fist as he bellowed, "My mentor graces the Clarkes with his presence, but those pompous pricks don't even know who he is?! You're all nothing compared to my mentor, and you're going to chase him away?!"Laughing despite himself, he threatened, "The Favonis will come and take all of your heads, believe it!"It was not just the security guard—all of Norsedam's rich and important individuals standing nearby were left astonished.As they turned to glance at Frank, they were left wondering who he really was to be able to spur the Favonis into going on a slaughter?!"Go, bring me Eddie Clarke! I must properly interrogate that pompous scum this instant!"While Jaden was going on a rampage and drawing everyone's attention,
With his suit taken away, Frank only had a white shirt on, which was quite an awkward sight.Jaden saw that too and nodded. "In that case, I'll be inside, Master Lawrence. Just give me a shout if the Clarkes bother you again.""Sure." Frank nodded.He watched as Jaden strode into the wedding hall spiritedly, with the rich and important individuals of Norsedam in tow.When they were gone, he breathed a sigh of relief.Noticing that there were less stares fixed on him, he headed to the buffet outside the wedding hall, picking up some delicacies and began eating at a corner.All he had to do now was to wait for Trevor Zurich and his new suit.-Meanwhile, within the enormous wedding hall, the rich and important individuals of Norsedam were standing around, mingling in groups since the wedding ceremony had yet to begin.Someone exclaimed just then, "Oh, that dress is just so beautiful! It matches Helen perfectly!""Exactly. If only my daughter was that beautiful…"Helen was star
"Wait, no, you misunderstand!"Hardy promptly threw up his hands. "I mean, my son who's around Helen's age. He's working at a major company and has a bright future ahead of him."Even as he spoke, Hardy was left dismayed inside.If Helen and Gina were not so radically opposed to him, he certainly would like to give it a shot.After all, Helen's beauty ranked her at the pinnacle of Draconia.On top of that, her status and ice queen demeanor made her a target every man would want to conquer.Even a geezer like Hardy was certainly scheming despite the age gap.Nonetheless, Gina calmed down once Hardy explained himself, though Helen refused even before Gina could speak. "Thanks for the offer, Mr. Xinder, but Frank and I are close even though we're divorced. In fact, we'll remarry soon enough."Her refusal left Hardy making a face of disappointment.That was when a handsome youth made their way toward them.He was clearly popular among Gina's middle-aged girlfriends, and he flicke
"Jackie! Over here!"Before Gina could say a word, several middle-aged women were calling out to Jackie."Calm down, Jess. I'll be right there. Excuse me, ladies," Jackie replied, nodding at Gina and Helen with a smile as he left, not before whistling at Helen.Gina watched as he left, not forgetting to tease Jackie's father. "Hehe, Hardy. Your son is such a good kid.""Hehe. He really has nothing going out for him aside from his silver tongue."Hardy chuckled before turning toward Helen and asking tentatively, "So? What do you think, Helen? My son is something of a regional manager. I know you're still close with your ex-husband, but the way your mom puts it… he doesn't sound all that reliable.""Exactly, Helen," Gina chimed in. "Just see how eloquent Jackie is, unlike Frank, who's always giving me a hard time.""Stop it, Mom."Helen shook her head exasperatedly. "Like I said, Frank is my husband, and I have no interest in other men.""Oh, what a pity." Hardy sighed in obviou
Caught off guard, Frank was at first confused as to why he was splashed in the face but was quickly incensed at Jackie's tone."Do you want to die?" Frank growled as he slowly looked up, his glare murderous.Jackie flinched in surprise, though he soon calmed down and scoffed. "Oh, my—color me surprised, you really know how to look scary! Go on, tell me… which gang are you from?""Gang?"Frank, who was not having it, seized Jackie by the collar and slammed him on the table.It shattered with a loud crash, drawing everyone's attention right then."What? What happened?""Hey, isn't that Jackie Xinder? Shit, someone's got him!"As everyone looked on, Jackie was left stupefied even as he collapsed on his knees before Frank, his face covered in blood.What? The bastard started getting physical at a moment's notice?!"I'm giving you one chance. Get out of my sight," Frank snapped at Jackie just then.He did not go further with the blind fool, as he had noticed the looks of panic ar
In no time at all, over a dozen vans came to a screeching halt outside the mansion, and members of two different factions quickly assembled.On one hand were men in black, while the other were wearing an assortment of colors and sported ridiculous hairstyles—obviously common street thugs."Who laid a finger on my darling Jackie?!" a woman bellowed as she got out of a luxurious car just then. She wore a diamond-encrusted black dress under her leopard skin patterned vest. However, she was so morbidly obese that she looked no different from a hippo, and any normal person would feel at once uncomfortable at the way her clothes were strained because of her size.On the other hand, the leader of the street sported a ridiculous haircut just like his men and was brandishing a metal bat while yapping, ""Who laid a finger on our manager?""It was him!" Jackie exclaimed as he hurried to receive them before pointing at Frank, who was sitting nonchalantly in the distance.He was certainly d
