Chapter 2386

Author: Chu
Derek sighed—the gap between him and Frank was just too wide, and his family would not have a chance to succeed under his leadership.

But that was fine.

In the end, money opened doors where schemes and conspiracies would not, and Derek was convinced that his family still had a shot.

Soon, Frank returned to the safehouse, and Pat was on hand to receive him. "You really are the greatest warlord ever seen. Not only did you charge into the Costners' residence all on your own, but you also subdued the Costners and returned without a scratch."

"Surely you jest, commissioner." Frank smiled. "I'm sure your people could do the same."

"You're kidding. They won't measure up to you, not even by a single fraction!"

Pat shook his head, his tone changing sharply and turning serious, "Mr. Frankton, let's be serious for a moment. No matter how big the Costners get, they are just one family in Shagan—it's nothing surprising if they were subdued as they are really nothing to brag about.

    Monte actually kept several chunks of gold bullions in his suitcase as well, but those were not stolen—it was only the photo!Frank noticed the gold too and chuckled. "I guess you can stop looking now. Someone stole your photo."Instead, he took Monte to Dawn and asked her, "Do you recognize this man?"Dawn frowned as she studied Monte from head to toe, nodding before shaking her head. "I don't think I do, but he feels familiar…""How about my voice?" Monte asked.Dawn smiled in wry amusement. "Again, it's both familiar but also not."Frank did not give up, however, and had Monte read the script he gave earlier. "I'm Monte Petale. I have a solution that could help Mr. Frankton overcome the curse of the spiritron vein and leave Shagan!"Dawn appeared to be jolted by those words, and her eyes rolled up as she passed out.Frank leapt up to catch her and carried Dawn to the couch while telling Monte to make her some tea.As Monte left, Frank said, "You can stop pretending now. He'

    "Don't worry about how I found out," Frank said. "What's your twin's name?""He doesn't have one."Monte smiled, shaking his head. "My family was poor, and my twin was sent to an orphanage due to his poor health soon after we were born."My whole family thought he was dead… Hell, I didn't know he existed until he came to me when he was thirty-two, and I found myself staring at my own face, although it was scared and missing an ear."Frank frowned. "What did he want?" Monte shook his head. "No idea! He just said his family owed him, and from now on, he'd be living as me… And with that, he's disappeared, and I can't find him no matter how I try."Frank nodded.It was clear that the missing twin was the key to undoing the curse of the spiritron vein, but what role did he play? Was he really going to exploit that opening to hurt him, like Dawn had put it?Monte had proven that he had ambition, but Frank could see that he would not hurt him either… or at the very least, he did not

    Frank chuckled. "According to what you're saying, we're just using each other?"Jouri grinned in turn. "You can think of it that way, since that is the case rationally speaking… so if you want to think of it sentimentally, we're friends."Frank smiled but said nothing, while Jouri went to work—splitting the task of restoring Monte's original face to one group and delegating looking for the person named Robbie to another group.According to Monte, Robbie was working for a research institution in Merka. While Monte also gave everyone details about Robbie's age, appearance, and other details, Jouri found no such person.Furious, Jouri returned and demanded, "Are you taking us for a ride?!"Monte sighed in exasperation. "I'd never dare, Ms. Yelin. Even if I found it in me to deceive you, I'd still wouldn't dare to deceive Mr. Frankton! You know that discretion is always the policy with people like them. He must've been using a pseudonym."Jouri rolled her eyes, feeling worse than Mon

    Soon, Frank and Sue were back in Shanton.Igor and the other scientist were on hand to receive them outside the research lab, since Sue had called ahead to inform them that Frank was coming."Mr. Frankton!" Igor hurried to him as Frank arrived. "Are you feeling any discomfort? If you do, please inform me right away. The lab will do everything possible to help."Frank smiled, shaking his head. "What are you saying? Your skill is plenty trustworthy—we're just here to see how much progress you have made on your research. It would be ideal if even the average Joe could benefit from the regenerative serum."Igor laughed. "In that case, we welcome your visit with open arms!"While Frank was conversing with Igor, he was keeping an eye on a quiet youth nearby.He was around his twenties and sported a buzz cut, and everything from his appearance to his eyes appeared to be local. Only Frank was aware that he was actually a foreigner.Before long, Frank strode up to Robbie and asked Igor,

    Frank smirked. "I'm not playing around. It's the truth!"Robbie smiled in wry amusement. "I hate it when people call me a foreigner, Mr. Frankton.""It's only natural when you're not a local!" Frank chuckled. Robbie rolled his eyes and said solemnly, "I'm working under Ms. Fisher, who is your friend, but I have my integrity to consider. If you keep being stubborn, don't blame me for refusing to cooperate!"Having expected that, Frank said bluntly, "Your real name is Robbie, and you're a biologist. You attended the same university as Igor and worked with him in researching a certain project. "Afterwards, you went your separate ways, and when you discovered a method for regeneration, you made a lot of money out of it. However, you were also targeted for some reason, so you had to go through facial reconstruction and fled here to Shagan, adopting a pseudonym while hiding under Igor's employment."Interestingly, Igor never saw through you even after so long, which goes to show how

    Frank nodded in understanding—it seemed that he was being paranoid. While Monte's twin's ear might appear strange, he just had to hide it with a scarf.That being said, would he really have to steal Monte's photo if he looked identical to Monte?It just did not make sense!Still, Frank told Robbie, "It doesn't matter what you were doing before. We welcome you with open arms if you only work on your research, and we can also assure you that you're free from any distractions."When it comes to troublemakers, there's only one way to deal with them."Frank gestured across his neck before continuing, "That being said, if you aren't content with the current conditions and overstep, I still wouldn't spare you."Robbie nodded. "I understand, and don't worry—that's why I'm here. It's calm here, unlike abroad, so it's an ideal work environment. I definitely won't step on anyone's toes."And with that, the discussion was over.As Frank and Sue sent Robbie back to the research lab, howev

    Soon, Ace woke up.He struggled to his feet when he saw Frank, knowing that he lost. "Greetings, Mr. Frankton. Please forgive me for sneaking around, but I was mostly trying to test your abilities. And now, it seems that you're the only one who can protect me."Frank could already tell that Ace had gone through all that trouble for a reason. He asked, "Who's after you?"Ace shook his head. "That can wait. Aren't you interested in undoing the curse of the spiritron vein, and then leaving Shagan?"Frank smiled—that was exactly what he was waiting for. "And what's your solution?""It exists, but I can't tell you more than that right now."Ace smiled in turn. "But I promise that it's no lie, and I just need a few favors.""Tell me!""First of all, I want to meet my twin!"Frank then took Ace to Sue, who smiled when he saw that the man was really identical to Monte. "I didn't expect there's people like you, disguising yourself to look like your brother with surgery and still making

    It was not surprising that Ace had to trouble Monte with his problems—it was unreasonable, but he had no choice.Then, Ace continued, "Later on, we had a breakthrough in our research. Still, when we got what we wanted, the project leader suddenly defected."So, they hunted him to reclaim the results of their research, and I was somehow lucky enough to run into him. I took it from him, but now I'm the one who has to watch my back, so I sneaked away while passing myself as Monte so that they can't find me."Frank nodded before asking, "So who's Zemo?"Ace smiled. "He's disavowed, just like me. We're basically teaming up for the numbers, though that's unnecessarily now that you're here. With your unparalleled might and wits, I find it safe enough to offer my bargain."Frank narrowed his eyes skeptically. "Don't tell me there's a catch for that too?"Judging from how Ace was putting it, it was as if everyone else would find out once he offered his secret. That was why he hid it all t

    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
