Chapter 2190

Author: Chu
Jason eyed Lara and understood what Meg was planning.

Frank was his brother from another mother, so he was not about to impose and left with Meg, leaving just Frank and Lara in the room.

Lara took a sip of her drink and suddenly felt much better, even boldly asking, "Where have you been, Lugh? Why didn't you call?"

"Where else could I be?" Frank smiled. "I had things to sort out, but I couldn't let you know or there'd be trouble."

Lara pouted. "What trouble? Are you a secret agent or something?"

"You got that right. What I'm doing is no different from that."

"Really?!"

Lara sprang up, wobbling away. "I need the ladies' room… Don't leave, wait for me."

As she turned, she lost her footing and almost fell headfirst, but Frank caught her quickly, saving her from some serious trouble.

Still, before he could withdraw his hand, Lara caught him, purring, "Don't you feel good?"

"What's gotten into you?"

Frank chuckled, curious as to why the usually haughty Lara was behaving like this

    Meg sighed. "Mr. Chand, just look at your friend—who wouldn't be interested after just a look? Just be glad that I'm nice. Anyone else in my place would be goading Lugh into cutting ties with you."Jason snorted, waving her off. "Not gonna happen. I know the man! He may appear haughty, but he's also very loyal—heck, he knows that you're up to your little schemes when you come up to him, but he never rejects you because you mean no harm. If anything, he's going all out to help you."Meg nodded—Jason was right about that.Just take today for starters—what bigwig would have come running just because she called? But Frank did, proving that her judgment was correct.Just then, the valet ran inside."Why aren't you outside? What are you doing here?" Meg scowled."Trouble, Ms. Quill!" the valet exclaimed nonetheless. "There are thugs everywhere, demanding that lady Mr. Frankton brought, but she's out jogging with the bouncers, so they're now breaking everything!"Even as he finished,

    On top of that, Frank was drop dead handsome.And considering that Alda's fiance was handsome, good at fighting, and a close friend of Jason's, Frank was definitely the fiance in question!"Apologies, sir." The thug promptly bowed his head. "But Golden Lily is at fault here..."Frank smirked, not about to be reasonable with mere thugs. "Really? Then you should be calling the cops. Why would you vandalize this place instead? Moreover, I overheard you saying that you want her!""Fine. I can't argue with that!" The thug threw his hands up. "But we'll be back when you're not around. Just you wait, Meg Quill! We'll be back! Let's go!"As the thug left with his lackeys, Meg quickly told Frank, "Sorry for being a bother, Mr. Frankton."Frank shook his head. "It's fine. What happened here?"Meg told him about how that geezer from earlier harassed Sadie."So it's their fault in the first place despite all that hollering." Frank turned to Jason, clearly ready to get to the root of the pr

    "Look, Ms. Quill," Jason teased. "Even your colleague is laughing."Meg remained perfectly composed—being human meant having desire and not worrying about ruining one's image."Quit laughing. Drive safe now." Meg rolled her eyes at the valet, who smiled and nodded before quickly driving away.Meg returned to the lobby and arranged for the staff to clean up the mess before heading upstairs.She then entered the private room and saw that it was not just Frank and Lara inside—Jouri Yelin was there too, sitting primly on the couch with them!"When did you get here, Ms. Yelin?" Meg asked.Jouri smirked. "What, am I not supposed to be here?"Meg quickly shook her head. "Of course not. You're always welcome here!"Jouri ignored her, however, and tapped her fingers on the paper on the table. "Are you signing it or not?"Frank chuckled coolly but otherwise ignored her."What's this?"Meg walked up, and saw that it was Golden Lily's deed!So that was why the owner was insistent on gi

    Jouri shook her head. "I'm sorry, but that's all I know. You'd have to ask someone else for more details."And with those words, Jouri got up and strode off, leaving Frank utterly exasperated.To think that he had so easily fallen for Jouri's trick despite all his sharp wit.Still, it was understandable. Jouri actually seemed like she had nothing to do in the grand scheme of things, so Frank really had to do his own investigating.Even as Frank pondered, Sally York strode in right after Jouri left.She was not alone, as Sylvie Wal, Alda Ingram, Ida Cahn, Sadie Godot, and her brother Rain Godot entered after her.Sally then said, "I heard you bought this place, handsome. I guess everyone can move here too, make it your new base."Frank frowned. "And how did you find out?"Sally grinned smugly. "Who do you think I am? Would I not be aware of anything happening in this world? Moreover, it works for everyone if they stay here, so just hear me out for once—stay put instead of gettin

    Kiki, the cute but silly front desk receptionist, raised her hand. "Mr. Frankton? May I speak to you for a moment?""Sure."Meg rolled her eyes at her—everyone was just having fun, but this young lady really could not read the room. Why did she even hire her?"It's alright. Just tell me," Frank spoke up, bailing Kiki out."Well, we don't have much money left. Moreover, after the first floor vault got vandalized, we'd run out of money in just three days.""What?!" Meg scowled. "No way—I remember us having a few million on our ledgers!"Kiki flashed a pained smile. "The boss dropped by in the afternoon and took everything. We must now come up with a plan to replenish our money, or it's really over for us."Everyone was merely chuckling in exasperation instead of being worried, however.After all, Frank just needed Alda's help, and Golden Lily's financial issues would be resolved. What was there to worry about?"Understood." Frank nodded. "The money will be wired by tomorrow morn

    The youth asked, "Why are you closing?"The valet turned to see that the youth was fashionable, sporting trendy brands, a beanie, and a pair of headphones."Sorry, sir. It's late now—you should come again tomorrow."The valet had actually encountered plenty of others who came during closing hours, and as he spoke, he offered the youth a discount voucher. "You'll have a 20% discount with this."The youth did not take it, however, even pushing it away. "Do I look like I'm short on money? I only came because I heard that Golden Lily closes late, but you're closing already. Don't you think that the management should answer for this?"The valet was left a little annoyed, but working in the service industry meant that he must not step on anyone's toes.Instead, he smiled. "I'm sorry, sir—we are in the wrong here, but everyone has left and can't be of service. Please come again tomorrow. Maybe come early too, and we'll offer you our best service."The youth could certainly understand t

    Sadie and Ida arrived just then as well, and Frank said, "Perfect timing. Ida, take her to your room and watch her. Sadie, you'll take over the night shift.""Okay."Both women promptly did as they were told, while Frank headed to the front desk to check the cameras.It turned out that the cameras outside were all destroyed too, with pebbles that shot straight at them!Frank smirked—it seemed like this was going to be a long night.-Meanwhile, in the accounting room on the top floor, the youth who was turned away by the valet before leapt in through the window.He headed straight to the safe deposit box and whipped out a white card, then swiped it and opened the box instantly.Then, he opened his backpack and shoved the Golden Lily ledger inside, smirking. "How dare you refuse me! Well, you're all going to apologize, or you're not getting the ledger back!"With his prize safely tucked inside his backpack, he fled through the window.The ledger was only found stolen the next

    The youth's reply was instantaneous: [Meeting is unnecessary. Send a video of your apology.]Meg was clenching her knuckles in fury. "Why should we apologize? Aren't we supposed to close after business hours? And most of the staff had left—how were we supposed to work for him? It's like he has a few screws loose!"That was when Sadie craned her neck for a look and frowned. "I think I know him!"As both Frank and Meg wheeled on her, she threw her hands up. "I mean, I'm not sure if it's him. So, there's this rumor that a burglar has been genetically altered just like us, and he gained the ability to airwalk like no one has ever seen before."They call him the King of Thieves—he can steal whatever he wants to, and he's also said to be very young. He always appears fashionable, just like the kid in that photo."Frank raised a brow. "The King of Thieves?""Yes." Sadie nodded. "And he's stolen plenty of things but isn't exactly loyal to the fraternity either."Frank nodded. "And where

    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
