Chapter 2223

Author: Chu
Pax remained calm as a cucumber. "What's there to get jealous about? The girls would flock to you by the dozens if you're as strong as him. So instead of getting jealous, you should work on improving yourself instead."

Everyone was left smiling in wry amusement.

Improve themselves? Who were they kidding?

With their measly potential, they would not catch up to Frank in this lifetime, let alone hold a candle to him.

Meanwhile, in the underground passage, Frank and Alda arrived at a specious chamber where various curious potted fauna were growing.

An eightyish geezer was strolling around it, carefully arranging the leaves.

"You're here," he breathed as he sensed Frank and Alda's arrival, glancing at them before continuing tending to his plants.

"Who are you?" Alda quickly asked, sensing danger.

"Who I am doesn't matter." The geezer smiled. "The important thing is for you to know yourself."

Although he was answering Alda's question, his eyes were fixed on Frank.

Frank snorted

    Frank shook his head. "Probably not. Someone was concerned that he would expose their secret and therefore poisoned him. It's too late for him anyway—let's go see Pax."Searching around the room, Frank soon found the hidden button to escape the underground passage and headed to Pax's room.To Frank and Alda's surprise, Pax did not run despite knowing that danger was coming, even smoking as he sat on the couch.His goons and girlfriends had long since disappeared from the oncoming threat."You're not afraid of me?" Frank asked, curious."What's the point? Would that help me kill you?"Pax smiled. "I must admit that I misjudged you—I thought that you were no different from those martial arts fanboys, but you're actually a real champion. It's no shame that I'd lose to you."As he finished, he reached into his pocket, glancing at Frank as if asking for permissions in case Frank would attack preemptively.Frank eventually nodded, and Pax whipped out a palm-sized metal tablet that he

    And with that, Pax breathed a sigh of relief. "Now my work here is done!"That was when Alda asked in curiosity, "Wait, so you sent your hired thugs to vandalize Golden Lily and set up an elaborate obstacle course for Mr. Frankton just to test if he has the disposition to lead the Cerulean Summit Legion?"Pax smiled and nodded. "Their first commander is my ancestor, and it's our duty to surrender our authority should a man of Mr. Frankton's caliber show up."I'm not going to lie—I'm no angel, and I tried to keep the Cerulean Summit Legion to myself. My ancestors naturally considered that and ensured that even if I had the emblem, I can't make the legionnaires my errand boys. Since it's useless to me anyway, I'd rather let your boyfriend have it."Alda understood right then and was surprised that the guardians of the spiritron vein lasted over a thousand years!Still, Pax turned toward Frank and pursed his lips. "A last reminder: being chosen by the spiritron vein doesn't necessari

    Meg heard Kiki and wheeled on her right then, pretending to be furious. "What was that? I guess you don't want this month's pay?"Kiki rolled her eyes, but she could only pout as she was afraid to breathe another word, leaving Meg smiling in amusement.And seeing that Kiki was that amusing, Alda teased her. "Ms. Quill doesn't have much of a sense of humor, so you've proven yourself by making her laugh. Why not take up a career in comedy?"Kiki could not even challenge Meg, let alone the heiress of the Ingram family.Hanging her head, she muttered, "Surely you're joking, Ms. Ingram."Alda smiled in wry amusement. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, and Lugh is around too. He'd never let anyone bully those beneath them.Kiki pouted. "Would he find out if you two worked together in secret? And I'm not as close with him as you two are to him."With that, Kiki excused herself, or she might snap at the two powerful women if she stayed."That brat… all she ever does is play aroun

    Meg shoved Sadie in annoyance. "It's called attraction—tell me, who wouldn't be interested in your gorgeous mentor? Don't you think that I don't know about your intention to jump him too." Sadie shrugged. "Even if I do have such intentions, I never once took action, unlike you, playing the blushing maiden while barely keeping your libido in check. What even is that?"As the two ladies joked around, Frank decided that it was boring for him and went upstairs.Before he got to the top floor, however, he heard Ida Cahn breathing heavily, as if exerting herself.There was another person breathing, but he was calm and steady—he was a martial artist like Frank, and a good one at that.Surprised, Frank quickly kicked open the door to find Ida lying prone on the floor, clutching her throat. Even so, her blood was seeping out from between her fingers as if someone had slit it!Beside her stood a thirtyish bulky man who was around Frank's height, holding a short sword with blood trickling

    Peerless Jackt explained, "You wouldn't know this, sir, but I began my journey as soon as you procured the ring. I was late, however, because Pax Jaric did not pass you the emblem, and I had nothing to prove who I said I was."Things are different now, though—Pax told me he gave you the emblem, so I had to come see you. Anyway, I'm yours to command, be it as a messenger or a fighter. If you don't trust me, we can go together to meet the other deputies. It's only right as a formality, while it would also stop me from issuing fake orders in your name."Frank shook his head. "I want nothing. The legion should just stay hidden—that's all I ask for."As she spoke, he tore a chunk of his shirt and walked up to Ida, intending to bandage her.Still, Peerless Jackt strode up before he could, whipping out a small bottle of potion. He poured it over Ida's wounds, and that healed her injury visibly!"Shit, that's amazing!" Ida exclaimed in surprise, candid as ever and not bothered by the fact

    Frank shook his head. "I don't get it either. Has there been any precedent?"Peerless Jackt smiled wryly. "All I know is that the hero in the tomb murals was the only one who obtained the power of the Shagan spiritron vein before. It doesn't tell us anything else, and we could only make deductions according to those records."He must've been able to bestow that power upon others at will according to the murals, if it hasn't been altered before."Frank nodded—with all said and done, the only thing that they got out of this was the fact that Peerless Jackt had no idea how to control the Shagan spiritron vein."Doesn't matter," he said. "Given the current situation, every legionnaire must stay away from Shagan. Stay safe in your respective locations.""But you're our master!" Peerless Jackt argued. "How could we allow you to face danger without doing anything about it? You've seen what I can do, and many of the legionnaires are on my level—we can beat those metahumans! Let us aid you

    Frank flashed the emblem he got from Pax. "It's a mysterious group called the Cerulean Summit Legion. Their duty is to protect the Shagan spiritron vein and to serve the one it chose."Ida laughed. "Protect the Shagan spiritron vein? It would've been a domesticated kitten if you never came."Frank glanced at his ring and laughed along with Ida.That much was true—according to Peerless Jackt, the ring's actions were its own.Its purpose was simply—to use Sally, allowing its own functions and influence to improve further.Like Sally had put it, being chosen meant immortality, but it did not expect Sally to outwit it, stealing its energy instead of helping find a new master.Despite its humiliation and cursing Sally, everything proved futile, and it was up to Frank to clean up the mess."What good is immortality anyway?" Frank asked, staring at his ring.The ring glowed in a myriad of colors right then, as if to tell Frank how beautiful and diverse the world was, and that immortal

    Frank ignored her and called Peerless Jackt, who quickly answered. "Have you arrived, sir? I'll arrange for someone to receive you right away!""Yeah," Frank replied and hung up.Seeing that, Clara scoffed. "What, have you remembered the name of the executive who's supposed to receive you?"Frank ignored her and went over to sit on the couch right then.Clara followed, standing nearby and waiting quietly to see how long Frank would keep pretending.Honestly, bragging that he was taking over the Jarics' estate… How delusional! Was he not worried about biting his tongue with such a big fat lie? He had the looks, but what was the point? Looks did not get you such an expansive family estate, especially for a young brat. If anything, he looked like a mook and not the person who was said to have inherited the Jarics' estate.Soon, the floor manager arrived.Seeing that Clara was just standing quietly near Frank without even offering tea, she strode up and snapped, "What are you doin

    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
