Soon, Jouri left with the members of Mystic Sky Guild.Jada watched as their vehicles sped off into the distance and whispered, "Mr. Frankton, shouldn't we set up a laboratory or something? Technology has the strongest production capacity, and with cutting-edge tech, we'd definitely rise to the next level."Frank nodded. "Good idea. You'll handle it after our trip.""No!" Moxxi quickly protested—she had been really eager to put on a good showing for Frank!"If we set up a subsidiary or a research center, there's no telling how much monetary investment or human resource we need to put in, and there's no guaranteed success anytime soon. "The way I see it, we could invest in established tech companies—I've worked on Wall Street, so I'd know the game. You can just leave it to me!"Moxxi's reasoning was sound. And while Jada was in management, she was no match against Moxxi on that front.Nodding, she said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Don't worry—I'm not going to sabotage you on thi
The geezer smiled. "I'll be frank, ma'am—I've been looking around, but this place suits my needs the most. They may all be homestay and local businesses, but this one is different from the others."Jada smirked—the geezer actually knew his homestays. Talk about ridiculously high standards!"Since you know this is the best one around here, why do you think that we'd give it up to you?"The geezer beckoned, and his two bodyguards left for a moment before they soon returned with two suitcases.The zippers were pulled audibly, willingly piles of cash."For this!" The geezer smiled. "Let me stay here, and you can have all of these. I'll even ask someone to get more if you want, as long as you allow me to stay here!"Jada was actually surprised that the geezer was so rich, even carrying so much cash around.There were really all sorts of weirdos out there these days, with this geezer being an amusing example.Still, Jada refused. "I'm sorry, but we're not short on money!""You keep
While Frank did not believe in luck, he realized that luck was part of a person's strength—who knew, maybe he really was lucky.Even as he thought that, Alda came running. "We have trouble!""What is it?" Frank asked, sitting up.Alda pointed at the distance, and Frank narrowed his eyes to see that there was a fire near their homestay cottage!He did not hesitate to fly down the mountain, waving his hand and extinguishing the fire right then.The cottage that had caught fire was just a wall away from their cottage, and theirs would have caught fire too if he did not make it in time!And while theirs did not catch fire, Frank's instincts told him that something was fishy."Shit, it went out on its own?!"Even as Frank was busy wondering, Conan, the owner of the cottage, arrived with a bucket of water.He had promptly evacuated his guests when he saw the fire and was going to try putting out the fire himself with the most primitive method.But even as he brought the bucket of w
Conan led Frank to the water pump at a corner of the courtyard, pointing at the indicator. "Once the sprinklers kick in and draw water, the reading here should change—but it obviously didn't."Frank smirked and nodded—so this was an arson!With that in mind, Frank did not hesitate to extend his senses throughout the cottage and its surroundings, and he noticed an ID just outside the fencing.Frank went over to pick it up and saw that it was Toto's!"That vile brat!" Conan was incensed and ready to go after his neighbor.However, Frank stopped him. "Use your brain, man. Who would just leave their ID around after a crime? Someone's clearly trying to frame the man!" Conan realized with a start. "Then keep looking. Let's search for more clues!"Frank chuckled. "That's unnecessary. This clue is enough!""What?" Conan blurted in confusion.-Meanwhile, the dame was on a hospital bed and groaning softly in pain.Her surgery had been a success, but she could not sleep from the agon
When she saw that it was frank, the dame snapped furiously, "What are you doing in my house?!"Frank chuckled and brandished an ID at her. "You should be asking why your fingerprints are on your friend's ID."At the same time, Conan appeared and bellowed furiously, "You bitch! You're finally coming after me too, huh?! You've really done it now!"The dame flinched—she did hold the stolen ID for a moment to look at it, but they found out?!She certainly doubted that she would leave a perfect print and snapped, "Impossible! I didn't do anything wrong—don't try to shift the blame on me!"Frank nodded. "I knew you'd say that. Why don't you read this?"He threw her a report and saw that it was a hundred percent match of her fingerprint!Terrified, she started tearing the report into pieces while shrieking, "Impossible! You couldn't have gotten my fingerprint before this!"Frank chuckled. "I'm not sure if I told you, but we're not the same. You really have no idea what I am capable of
The dame was furious. "You're out of line!"Hornless Dragon promptly tried to make peace. "Come on, brother! Do us a solid… We'll pay for all the repairs, along with 300,000 for renovations. How about that?""Not a chance!" Conan promptly refused.In fact, he wanted no reparations at all. He might not own a full-spec Audi A6 like the dame despite working in the homestay business for years, but he still had enough money for repairs and renovations and to cover for any further losses. Instead, he wanted the dame and her gangster friends in jail, so that there would not be any future problems!On the other hand, the dame was furious. "There's no pleasing you, huh? Then just die already! Kill him, Dragon!"Hornless Dragon only smiled but said nothing. After all, he was dead sure that Frank's group would be in a fight against Conan and had not brought that many people with him… though it was not like they would stand a chance against Frank and Jada even if he brought anyone.Unlik
No matter how embarrassed Hornless Dragon felt just then, he knew that it was still better to stay alive.In the streets, it was judgment that won battles, not strength.And against a man he could not win like Frank, begging for mercy was the best choice—it was only not embarrassing if that resolved the issue.Frank turned coolly toward the dame. "It seems that you're not afraid at all.""Or what? Are you going to kill me?" She smirked.Jada strode up to her right then, slapping her so hard her left cheek swelled right then, and she coughed out a mouthful of blood!She did not stop there either—grabbing the dame's ears with each hand, she ripped them off audibly!The dame certainly was not a tough cookie, and the agony left her in tears as she bellowed, "You're crazy! You'll pay for this!"Jada sneered. Pulling the dame off her wheelchair, she snapped coolly, "You called him a coward, but you're no different—a slap and a couple of ears loose, and you're bawling like that!"The
Being quadriplegic was certainly traumatizing for an adult like Hornless Dragon. Not only would he have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, but he would also be left effectively between dead and alive without a source of income.Unable to stop himself anymore, he shrieked at Frank, "Y-You're crazy!" Frank chuckled coolly. "I'm sure you'd think otherwise when you're the bully. People like you should be ready to die, so don't blame me!"And with those words, he knocked out Hornless Dragon with a backhand slap.Conan smiled in wry amusement at that. "They've really messed with the wrong people, getting into it with tough nuts like you two! Guess that also shows me that I must never abuse my authority, or I wouldn't even know what killed me."Frank nodded. "Being the best version of yourself is better than anything else!"-The next morning, Toto visited Frank's group just to thank them, bringing along two chickens and a large goose.Frank smiled in wry amusement. "It's
