Regeneration was as unbelievable as seeing the sun rise from the west. How could it have succeeded? Sue shrugged and poked at Frank. "A demonstration please, Mr. Frankton?"Reasonably speaking, Frank had no reason to cooperate with Sue, but he was eager to find out how far his regeneration ability went.Directing the energy of the spiritron vein and projecting a blade of spiritual energies, he sliced off his left arm, leaving Sue and the nuns flabbergasted.Did he lose his mind? Why cut off his arm? A tiny cut would have been enough! Was he not worried that he would have to live with one arm if he could not grow it back?!Just as everyone was too stunned to speak, they soon understood what made him so confident!Something that resembled vines soon crept out of the clean cut, picking up the arm and reattaching it, while even blood was creeping back into Frank's body.There was soft pop, and Frank's arm was reattached!Even Frank's torn shirt sleeve was sewn back on by a myster
Hilda smiled in wry amusement—Frank was right.Even if they were stronger than most thanks to Frank's help, Ascendants-ranked individuals were still a challenge, and it would be more ideal to let Frank's people handle them."Thank you for your kindness, sir!Hilda bowed her head at Frank, and the other nuns did the same.While Frank appeared to be concerned for the research center, he was actually giving them freedom to continue their spiritual pursuits.He could have further strengthened them, but he did not do it out of consideration for their sake.Frank smiled but said nothing and called Higo Soldi as he stepped out. "Bring as many men as you can to Shagan…"-After making the arrangements, Frank was about to return inside when he heard footsteps.Soon, a middle-aged man in a tunic suit approached him, clapping his hands. "How envious… to think that you've achieved immortality already, Mr. Frankton!"Frank frowned. "Who are you?" "Calm down!" The man smiled. "Allow me t
Pat smiled. "But don't tell anyone that it's from me. Many would like to have it, and I'm risking the wrath of many just by giving it to you."And with that, he left, while Frank unfolded the paper and saw an address."Lake of the Broken Star?"Sue was surprised by the address, as it was Shagan's largest manmade lake and quite famous.There used to be a coal mine underneath, which collapsed after excessive digging, leading to subsidence.However, generations had since worked hard to adapt the subsidence into a man made attraction, drawing an influx of tourists and income for Shanton.That being said, how could there be anything good hidden there? With that many people hovering, it would have been discovered already…"Whatever the case may be, let's just check it out first."Frank had Sue drive him since he did not know where the Lake of the Broken Star was, and they soon arrived.Just as Sue predicted, it was filled with people!"How are we supposed to find it now?" She snort
This time, no one could stay calm.They had rejected Sue's proposal before because leaving was no problem. But now that they had taken Sue's money, they would be humiliated.On the other hand, being alive was still better than being humiliated, and they therefore did not hesitate to leave.Sue then turned toward Frank and held a thumbs-up. "You're good!"Frank shrugged. "You'd be better at this than I am if you had my privilege too."Sue shook his head. "You're luckier than most, but you wouldn't be where you are now without resilience or composure. So don't be humble—you earned everything you have."Frank ignored her and stared at the stone table in the middle of the shack.It was as large as a marching drum and solid, weighing at least over a thousand pounds.However, Frank lifted it easily by holding on to the edge, moving it aside.If it did not kick up a few feet worth of dust as Frank dropped it, Sue would have thought it was not actually solid stone."Why don't you tak
Frank nodded. "That's right. Take me home.""Sure."Shanton was Sue's turf after all, so how could she let her guest leave without hospitality? People would laugh at her for that!"Why don't you wait a couple of days before you go?" Sue asked tentatively.Frank shook his head. "Nah. Maybe some other time."Sue had no choice but to take Frank in her Lamborghini, and they were once again at that service area half an hour later.As Sue parked and alighted, ready to get some champagne from the supermarket, she bumped into a face she did not want to see.Ian Laney leaned against his GTR, smoking as he dissed her. "If it isn't Ms. Fisher. It's only been a couple of hours, but you look terrible.""Keep barking."Sue had no intention to play his games and was going to turn and leave when he cut her off."Don't just run away!" He chuckled. "Forgive me for asking, but why are you leaving Shanton in such a hurry? Wait, don't tell me that you're transporting Lugh Frankton's ashes?" Sue
To think a man demonstrated regeneration right in front of Ian's eyes… talk about a paranormal situation!And it happened so quickly that it completely defied the principles of biology!"I-It can't be! That's impossible!"Ian shook his head repeatedly and kept telling himself that it was a dream, but he could not lie to himself no matter how hard he tried.It was reality, and it could not be denied, just like how the sun rose from the east!"Why can't it be possible, when relativity and quantum mechanics stirred such massive waves when they were introduced and eventually became the cornerstones of physics?" Frank asked.That crushed Ian's ego—it was true that Einstein's paper on relativity was unprecedented and beat out any accomplishments of his predecessors.It was simply how science worked—truth mattered, not authority!The person who demonstrated it did not matter—if it was the truth, everyone could learn from it.And seeing Ian's devastated expression, Sue scoffed. "It se
"Sign this to finalize your divorce if you have no further questions," the woman in a flowery dress said as she pushed a sheet of paper toward Frank Lawrence.They were seated at Lane Manor, and Frank's sharp brows furrowed as he stared at the divorce agreement before turning to the woman who was his mother in law, Gina Zonda. "What's this?"Gina folded her arms across her chest and said flatly, "Lane Holdings has just gone public—that means the gap between you and Helen are growing ever further apart. Since you're no help to her in her career, all you would do is tie her down, and it's therefore ideal for you to divorce her sooner."Frank smiled bitterly. "Is this what Helen thinks, or is that what you think?"Gina glowered. "This is what every member of my family thinks. Henry may have arranged this marriage between you and Helen, but we've been kind to you as you freeloaded from us over the last three years. Sign this if you know what's good for you."Frank inhaled deeply.For
As Frank strode out of Lane Manor, he turned to look at the place he lived at for three years.He had come here all alone and now left empty-handed.Just then, a Rolls-Royce sped toward him from a distance, stopping just beside him. The door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed sharply in a suit alighted, grinning broadly as he jogged up to Frank. "Mr. Lawrence…""What are you doing here?" Frank asked as he stared at the man—he was Trevor Zurich, the CEO of Trevor International. "I've recently partnered with your wife for a development project in West City, and I've come to discuss the details with her," Trevor admitted.Frank nodded but said, "There's no need for a discussion—Helen now has the Wesley family's backing and doesn't need ours, and she's no longer my wife.""What?!" Trevor exclaimed, flabbergasted. "What's going on?""Helen and I got divorced," Frank admitted. "From now on, there's no connection between myself and the Lanes."Then, turning toward Trevor and gen
