Chapter 1697

Author: Chu
The man with the poker-face was flanked by a dozen officers armed with guns, which they trained on Frank as soon as they strode through the front door.

"Frank Lawrence?" the man asked.

"Who are you?"

Frank glared at them coolly, noticing soon that they were law enforcement officers with ties to the government.

He realized it with a start when he remembered Huub's threat.

It seemed that despite the modest scale of Droitner Inc., it was still the first time Frank had a government official in Zamri moving against him.

"I'm Podrick Daffey, a captain working directly under Zamri's commissioner."

Podrick flashed his badge at Frank and announced coolly, "You're accused of being directly involved in the deaths of Larry Jameson and Kit Jameson. Considering the seriousness of the accusations, you must come with us for questioning."

Frank did a double take. "An anonymous tip? Who, exactly?"

"Don't worry about it." Podrick snorted. "We will never reveal them to ensure their safety, while

    As they advanced, Frank could feel air getting more damp, with the stench of blood and rot getting even more pungent, to the point that one could throw up."A torture chamber?" Frank asked interestedly.He was no stranger to torture chambers as he met Burt Yorkman in the one at Riverton.In this case, this place was definitely the one in Zamri."Cut the chatter," someone growled as he was led into an elevator that descended below the surface.Eventually, the thick steel doors parted, and Frank immediately heard the screams.And they were all, men whose very will was crumbling under the audible crack of whips, and the sizzling hiss of branding iron burning into their skin.There was maniacal laughter on top of that, along with a stench that was worse than before. And he could feel from the wetness of the floor that it was flooded with ankle-deep puddles down the hallway.The rug sack on Frank's head was then taken off, and he found himself staring down a pitch-black hallway, as

    The jailer who just left did not turn back in spite of Scarface's screams, as it was way too common around here.He paused for a moment before chuckling and left without looking back.Meanwhile, Scarface was clutching his almost broken thumb and cowering in a corner, wheezing."Yo!" Someone chuckled. "It seems the newbie can throw down, almost snapping Scarface Tucker's thumb in an instant. Interesting!"Hearing the gleeful laughter around him, Frank looked around and asked, "Can anyone tell me where I am?""Eh…?""Pfft…""No way. The kid doesn't know where this place is?""Makes sense. Just look at his blank stare—doesn't look too smart, does he? Someone must have tricked him."Clang…"Ahem…"As Frank's fellow inmates chuckled and commented, silence quickly ensued with the clanging of metals.A geezer could then be heard coughing, as every eye turned toward him in the darkness.Even the cells nearby were silent, a far cry from the liveliness when Frank had just entered th

    If Frank really wanted to leave, not that many people could actually stop him.His brow easing, he turned toward the fettered geezer again. He could certainly notice from the other inmates' reaction that they feared the geezer too."In that case, may I ask how you ended up here, sir?" Frank asked."Oh, it's really not worth mentioning…"The geezer avoided the subject, shaking his head and smiling when he discerned Frank's mood. "Word of advice, kid—you're not getting out of here now that you're here. I tried to escape with the strength in my arms… and well, you can see how that went."He gestured with his chin at his fetters, and Frank walked up to him.He studied the geezer and saw that he had overflowing vigor and a rich meridian nexus.Judging from that, he was definitely halfway into Ascendant rank. And if someone of his caliber was kept here, it was clear that this prison was worse than it looked.The geezer then calmly continued, telling Frank about the brutal truth. "K

    "Well, the jig's up."The fettered geezer shook his head and sighed. "I guess you'll be getting the Willbreaker.""Willbreaker? What's that?" Frank asked."To bring the new inmates down a peg, they would all be beaten up their first day in… though the severity depends on what you can offer the jailer."The geezer shook his head and sighed—Frank would definitely be getting a world of pain since he was not paying off the jailer.Still, he advised, "Look, if you can't pay him off and have nothing of value, you just have to endure the stick and be as agreeable as possible. That way, the jailer just might take it easy on you.""Exactly." A skinny inmate sighed in agreement. "I had nothing to offer when I was brought here, so I had to suffer fifty strikes. Fortunately, I was healthy enough to recover after two weeks' worth of lying down."He then looked pointedly at Frank. "But judging from your small frame, it'd take you a month to recover.""Yeah, but surviving is better than nothi

    Would the jailer let Frank off easy after this? Young men were really inexperienced!This was it for Frank. Forget fifty Willbreakers—his attitude would earn him up to seventy more.And his scrawny body might not even survive it!"Woah, kid! You're quite cocky, huh?"The two flunkies following the pudgy jailer around were at once upset, one of them even spitting on the floor as he pointed at the jailer. "Kid, don't you know who this is? He's Tigris Fisher, the Stallion of Blackwater! How dare you behave so insolently in front of him? Do you want to die?!"Tigris shoved his flunkie out of the way as he stared fixedly at Frank and chuckled. "I heard that you were framed… but naturally, I don't give a shit. Once you end up in here, you're never getting out."However, I can give you one chance to contact whatever friends and family you have outside, and tell them to pay me off. Once they do and I'm happy with the number, I just might play nice. But if it's not enough… Hehe…"Tigris

    The fettered geezer was left speechless by Frank's attitude and sighed softly.The young man would definitely pay for not listening to his elders."Hmph. Mongrels."Seeing the two flunkies of the jailer eagerly bringing out their torture tools and a fire cauldron, endless hate showed on Scarface Tucker's face.They were the ones who scarred his face, after all.He would not hate them so much if they were jailers, but these flunkies used to be his men. They used whatever they had to pay off the jailer, and after days of sycophancy, earned their special rights despite being inmates.In fact, they were worse than the jailer when they did his dirty work!Various emotions could be seen in Scarface's eyes as he stared at the steel bar door which was left wide open.He wanted nothing more than to charge outside and kill those two despicable flunkies on the spot.However, without a stable diet and being afflicted by sickness and stress, he was now the weakest of the three. He would de

    But at the very next instant, Frank was picking up the rusted shiv thrown over by the flunkies, and he turned toward Scarface interestedly. "Hey, what's your story with Terry Cotton?""Terry Cotton…?" Scarface murmured, stumped just then.It was already a death sentence after Frank insulted the jailer, but he was now picking up the shiv, clearly ready to attack Tigris!He was doing everything Tigris would never dare!Around them, the inmates in their cells were shocked to see Frank pick up the shiv too but were soon laughing out loud.After all, letting an inmate pick up a weapon was almost a traditional bait that new inmates fell for, unless warned by another inmate who was aware.It was an indisputable crime to take up arms, after all. The inmate would also be charged with attempting escape and attacking the jailer, with the punishment being a brutal round of torture.Losing a limb and disability was common for such instances.The fettered geezer was certainly reluctant to sa

    Frank did not move even as he watched the two flunkies stride toward his sides.Instead, he turned and threw the rusted shiv to Scarface, who caught it in reflex.However, he dropped it on the floor the next instant as if the shiv jolted him.Frank, however, did not mock him, and instead smiled faintly. "Terry Cotton is like a brother to you, isn't he? I happened to meet him too, and I dare say we're quite close—just like brothers."Scarface was left taken aback and started panting as he watched the two flunkies press Frank toward the iron chair.Even as he glanced between Frank and the rusted shiv on the floor repeatedly, he finally snapped when he saw one of the flunkies stride toward Frank with a branding iron.Picking up the shiv from the floor, he lunged at the two flunkies and yelled, "Fuck! Let him go!" His voice was tired and enfeebled, but he surprised the two flunkie nonetheless."Tucker…?""What the fuck are you doing?!"While Tigris was surprised to see Scarface

    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
