"You asked for it!"Just as they finished, the four punks' smiles stiffened as they dropped to the floor!The entire building was silent right then—those four were no pushovers, but the dwarf wiped them out instantly anyway.They were really special!"Bloody Mary? What's that supposed to be? I am the White Raven, an undisputed elite!" And after announcing himself, the dwarf leapt toward Frank."White Raven?!"Everyone remembered with a start—White Raven was an assassin who earned his name with over a dozen kills under his belt. Even when attacked by two elders of the Martial Alliance, he escaped unscathed while killing one, more than proving his ferocity!The crowd cheered, once again confident. "Go, White Raven! Show that brat that we're not to be messed with!"White Raven smiled, completely dismissive of Frank as he studied Frank from head to toe without moving. "You have good form in martial arts, and you would rise to new heights in time. Why seek your doom prematurely?"
Frank was not about to show mercy, however, "Which of you hasn't shed blood? Jump down if you know what's good for you!""Fine! You asked for this! You don't get to blame us!"Bob Cut whipped out a remote control and was ready to press the button when a long-haired girl in a school uniform snatched it out of her hands and slapped Bob Cut across the face!"Are you killing us just to take him down?!" Schoolgirl then bellowed."He asked for this!" Bob Cut shot back. "Can't you see the hills of corpses down below?! He's not going to let us off, so let's just take him down with us instead of dying tragically!"Schoolgirl hardly shared the same radical sentiment, ignoring Bob Cut and dropping to her knees, bowing her head and holding up the remote with both hands."We surrender!" she cried.The others all knelt like she did, leaving Bob Cut stunned."Just look at you! What did we say when we joined?! We will not give in no matter who we face… But here you all are, already forgetting
"Really!" Alda huffed, but there was no confidence in her voice at all."I believe you!" Frank smiled and nodded. "Don't worry—I threatened Sally that I'll make her suffer if she messes with you again!"Alda was at once emotional but puzzled. "Mr. Frankton, why would you play along with her when you're so strong?""I told you—we're just partners." Frank shrugged. "It's not just her either—no one in this world gets to order me around!"Alda nodded, clearly believing him."Who's there?!" Frank suddenly snapped.He had heard footsteps and promptly leapt outside to find two familiar figures.It was Bob Cut and Schoolgirl, whom he had cornered at that abandoned building earlier.And with them was a pudgy youth in his twenties."You want some?" Frank growled, his presence murderous.Though the ladies were not faltering, they were still more or less terrified, with the Schoolgirl quickly explaining, "No, it's a misunderstanding! We have nowhere to go, and we're afraid that people wi
Alda understood what Frank was getting at right then and whispered, "Thank you!""Just words aren't enough!" Frank grinned, gently lifting her chin.Having had a similar experience before, Alda knew what he was going for.However, as she closed her eyes shyly, she waited for a long while but nothing ever came.Then, she opened her eyes, steeled herself, and kissed him instead!Frank smiled in wry amusement. "After all that, I'm the one getting exploited!"Alda giggled but said nothing.-Early next morning, Frank woke up to an appetizing scent, and he stepped out to see that Sadie's younger brother, Rain Godot, was cooking in the kitchen!"You can cook?" He asked.Rain chuckled. "I may look young, but I have a Grade 2 chef cert!" "Not bad!"Frank nodded and sat down at the dining table.It was several simple homemade dishes, and Frank was surprised by the culinary skill despite having eaten tons of gourmet food. The taste was truly savory, and not even the average person
Ida giggled. "That's not the way. Just giving him your body is much better!"Sadie ignored her and kept staring at Frank.Frank nodded. He was actually fine with the idea.In fact, he was really curious and wanted an apprentice who went through those alterations to see if they had potential for cultivation. "Is that a yes?!"Ida almost choked on her food—she knew Frank was casual about things, but not this casual!Not about to let Sadie win, she exclaimed, "Me too!""Go away. Why do you have to be everywhere?" Sadie scowled. "What, are you turning your back on me already?!" Ida snapped. "If it wasn't for me, you would've blown yourself up with Lugh! And I was also the one who suggested we come to Lugh, so how could you do this to me?!"Annoyed, Sadie was ready to argue when someone crashed through the window!Everyone turned to look and found a tall masked man with a sword on his back and a kunai on his hip.He looked just like a ninja!Drawing his sword and pointing it a
Frank was really not interested in having too much to do with Farek. "You've done nothing terrible, so leave right now. It won't do to lose your life here.""Insolence!"Farek, however, mistook Frank's kind advice for provocation.Incensed, he drew his cleaver and leapt forward, slashing at Frank.Frank started to turn his head aside to avoid it, but in response, Farek angled his cleaver horizontally toward his neck.As such, Frank dropped to a crouch and launched a kick aimed at Farek's stomach. Farek dodged it, however, and was left frowning.He laughed—amazing, as one would expect of the martial elite who had slain White Raven!"I definitely have the right place. And you can still fight… So let's do this!"Holding his cleaver with both hands, Farek swung it at Frank's brow, and Frank sidestepped it.Then, Farek barely parried an oncoming punch from Frank. But the punches kept coming, and he had to use all the training he had in this life just to not get hit.However, surpr
"Thanks!"While Alda was refusing, she was really hoping that Frank would go with her.It went without saying that she was overjoyed that he agreed to it.Getting into a Panamera, she adjusted her seat as she blurted, "Who are you really, Mr. Frankton?"She was really curious because he seemed at once familiar yet mysterious."Don't worry about it." Frank shrugged. "You just have to understand that I'm not a bad man."Alda nodded—Frank would not harm her, and that was enough for her.She started the car and drove home to Ingram Mansion, though they both heard a loud crash as if something was colliding with the steel gates.They looked out to find over a dozen security guards carrying over a dozen Kawasaki H2.Alda stopped the car and went up with Frank to see a burly man riding on one of the motorbikes, accelerating it and leaping off just before it collided with the gate, totalling it like the other wrecks around it."What's going on here?" Frank asked one of the security gu
Turning to Frank, Alda said, "Sorry, Mr. Frankton. We're really close, so we tend not to hold back. Don't worry about it.""Don't worry," Jouri chuckled. "I know you don't like pretty boys!"As Alda blushed harder, Jouri could see that there was something between those two. "So, it's like that, huh?""No!" Alda rolled her eyes at Jouri."Whatever. Just go in. I'll be done soon.""Okay."Both Alda and Frank headed into the cottage, whose furnishings were quite old, just like the farmer cottage it appeared to be on the outside.Still, Alda sighed as she remembered how Jouri had wrecked over a dozen Kawasaki bikes just to get to her. "She was very poor back in college. It's been a few years, but I guess she's now dirt rich.""Hey, who were you mocking?" Jouri asked, carrying a large pot of food."You, obviously!" Alda quickly helped her.Everyone soon took their seats, and Alda started wolfing down her food once Jouri told them to eat up.Seeing that Frank was not moving, Jouri
