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
"Exactly! You don't look like bad people. How could you do that to him?""Looks like a rich kid to me—the type who's used to bullying people!"Realizing the misunderstanding, Demi quickly explained, "You misunderstand. This person is a pickpocket! He stole my phone!"Everyone traded glances, but as the pickpocket expected, they judged her by her appearance—especially her plain clothes. "It's not like we're making fun of you, girl." Someone even chuckled. "Even if he's a thief, he wouldn't try to steal from you, would he?""Exactly!" the pickpocket chimed in. "Where's your proof?!"Flustered, Demi leapt up and snapped, "We'll know when we search you!"Interestingly, Frank stopped her right then.After all, only the police had the right to frisk a person, and the pickpocket was deliberately luring Demi to search him.He was not getting away, but he could still ruin Demi's day for her and was all too pleased to do that!Suddenly, Frank feigned surprise and exclaimed, "What's th
The pickpocket then wheeled on Jada and Demi. "And you, bitches! I'll have you stripped naked and humiliated soon enough!"While others would take it from him, Jada refused. "I dare you to say that again!"At the same time, she strode up, slapping the pickpocket across the face and sending him sideways.He was left coughing blood and teeth, even molars that were supposed to stay firmly in place!"Y-You've done it now!" he growled."I could say the same about you!" Jada bellowed and charged at him again.Frank released the pickpocket as if on cue, and the pickpocket assumed a stance.Even if he could not beat Frank, did he really stand no chance against some stinking wench?!However, it proved to be a tragedy as Jada sent him flying with a slap.And before he could react, she was on top of him again and raining punches all over him.Everyone was shocked as they watched—to think that the girl was so frighteningly powerful despite her plain appearance! Every blow was devastating
Jada blushed for once. "You don't have to, Mr. Frankton! Not against the likes of him!"She was not being emotional that Frank swooped in on a white horse—it simply did not sit well for her as his subordinate. If she could not handle someone like Blondie, how would she hold her head high around Moxxi and the rest?Frank knew what she was thinking and clapped her on the shoulder. "Just let me have my fun!"It was certainly a fair remark, putting it as enjoyment so that Jada could not refuse."You're up? You're kidding!"On the other hand, Blondie was chuckling and shaking his head, seeing how plain Frank was. It was not as if he was belittling Frank, but he could handle five hundred pretty boys like him!Frank simply smiled. "I guess you're Ascendant-ranked, huh?"Blondie's eyes lit up. "Well done, kid! You've done your homework—but so what? You're not going to win!"Without another word, he charged at Frank in full-speed, only to get hit in return and sent flying backward.
Frank actually had no intention to kill Blondie, but his insults really irked Frank.Since he had no scruples and had definitely been involved in plenty of crimes involving plenty of victims, Frank did not hesitate to grab him and throw him down the mountain.The crowd was shocked and hurried over to the edge to see that Blondie had landed instantly, reduced to a puddle of blood and guts!They all turned pale in terror—Frank was simply horrific!On the other hand, Jada was sneering at the pickpockets lying around on the floor. They were certainly a lot less pompous than before, even prostrating themselves before Frank in a tidy line as if they trained for it.Frank snorted. "I'll be frank—I'd rather not spare any of you, so it's a shame that people whose lives are inconsequential. You have one chance to surrender yourself to the authorities in two hours, or I'll find you and kill you. Understand?""Yes, sir!"The pickpockets all nodded, scrambling to their feet and sprinting d
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
