Lofty smiled wryly. "Sure, but I'm not as strong as you are! To reach where others can't, I'd have to lose what must never be lost—like my life."

Frank nodded.

At the very least, Crewcut and Lofty here both shared a trait that made them likeable: They shone with humanity, so much so that it covered their insufficiency in abilities.

Frank passed him his business card. "Just come to me if you're ever in trouble."

Still, considering that Crewcut just died and worried that Lofty would remember him in death too, he said, "I'm not much, but I more or less have some connections.

"On one hand, I lead an outfit with sufficient crew, while on the other, I have connections to the government, so just ask if you need people investigated."

Lofty quickly shook his head. "This is my own issue. You don't have to get involved."

Frank smiled in wry amusement, as he certainly knew what Lofty was getting at.

As a vigilante, he did not want others to die for his cause or owe anyone anything.

    "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

    Frank was napping in Trevor's car when his phone rang, waking him up.Seeing that it was Helen, he answered and promptly heard her asking coldly, "Frank, are you with Mr. Zurich right now?"Frank glanced at Trevor, who was sitting beside him. "Yeah."Helen took a deep breath to calm her rising blood pressure—it seemed that Peter was not lying!"You disappoint me, Frank," she growled. "If you're upset, you can tell it to my face—why backstab my family?"Frank rubbed his temple as he replied, "Would you believe it if I told you that I didn't?""Then why would Mr. Zurich leave right after arriving at my doorstep?!" Helen demanded. "He also annulled our partnership!""Trevor's decision is his own and has nothing to do with me."Convinced that Frank was a coward and would not admit to it, Helen was left seething and growling at every word. "You really disappoint me."Frank's voice suddenly turned cool as well. "It seems all you care about is what you want to believe and not the act

    Pow! Pow! Pow!The air in the room cracked.Yara struck with power and determination, exchanging over a dozen blows with Frank in no time at all.The latter had no intention to hurt, however, merely doing enough to defend himself.Even if he was not in peak condition, Yara was never going to best him."Stop it, Yara," Vicky snapped from the bed just then.Yara did as she was told, though she was also giving Vicky a wounded look. "That brat…""That's enough," Vicky said flatly. "Show some manners—Mr. Lawrence is here to help me."In reality, Vicky was upset with Frank as well, since Yara's father was her mentor.However, as the heiress to her family legacy and herself a martial arts prodigy, she should stay calm at all times.Moreover, she could immediately tell that Frank's abilities were outstanding when he exchanged blows with Yara, and that he was clearly holding back. That was why she told Yara to stop—Yara would definitely lose if he went all out.Naturally, Yara woul

    "Are you done staring?" Yara could not help snapping at Frank, certainly able to see that he was staring fixedly at Vicky.Even if Frank proved his martial arts prowess, she suspected that he was taking advantage of Vicky, claiming that undressing her was for treatment.Frank smiled, showing no sign of embarrassment as he said earnestly, "I couldn't help staring just then. Ms. Turnbull is just that mesmerizing.""Haha." Vicky laughed. "Honest, aren't you?"She was actually surprised that Frank would admit to it so boldly, unlike self-proclaimed gentlemen who would never admit to their actions. Suddenly flashing a vague smile at Frank, she added, "You can look as much as you want if you heal me.""You don't have to. Beautiful things are unforgettable from the very first gaze," Frank said, shaking his head.Taking out a needle, his fingers brushed over the smooth skin on her chest, feeling a cool sensation just then.Vicky gasped and shuddered as he inserted the needle just abov

    A Rolls-Royce stopped beside Frank just as he stepped outside the Turnbulls' villa.Vicky alighted, asking, "Where are you staying, Mr. Lawrence? May I offer you a ride?"Frank thought about it and sighed. "I was just planning to stay at a hotel."He did not own any house in Riverton, and he could not return to Lane Manor after his divorce with Helen."Oh…" Vicky did a double take but did not press the issue. "Then you're in luck—we have over fifty hotels in Riverton. Allow me to arrange for a suite, so I can deliver you the wonderroot when it arrives."Frank thought about it and nodded. "Sure."He got into the backseat with Vicky while Yara drove, though she stopped at the gates. "What's wrong?" Vicky asked."There's a car stopped ahead, and I don't know what for," Yara complained.Frank peered out of the car window and noticed a man weaning a suit standing by the security booth."Please inform Mr. Turnbull of my arrival. Tell him that it's Sean Wesley—my family owns a majo

    Peter was not afraid at all and poised a fist as he snapped, "A good-for-nothing like you talking back to me?! I'll straighten you out for my sister's sake right now!"That was when Frank suddenly kicked him in the gut, sending him flying like a bullet."Argh!" Peter's girlfriend turned pale in panic and scrambled to his side. "Are you alright, darling?!"Nearby, Vicky was smiling coolly. Trying to lay a finger on Frank? The brat certainly was brave.That being said, she was more curious about the 'Helen' Frank mentioned."Damn you…" Peter's face contorted from the agony in his stomach—it felt like his guts would spill out!Glaring darkly at Frank, he growled, "H-How dare you hit me!"Frank remained calm and composed. "I won't press the issue for your sister's sake. But now that I've cut ties with your family, I'll kill you the next time you mess with me."Peter actually flinched from the murderous intent in Frank's eyes and swallowed all the obscenities at the tip of his ton

    Frank took a taxi to Laneville in the evening and was surprised to find Gina waiting for a while at the door.Seeing him arrive, she promptly strode up to him and warned, "I take it you know what to say and what not to when you see the old man later."Frank chuckled. "You really should chase me away instead if you're that worried.""What?!" Gina glared at him, shocked that he would speak in that tone with her.Nonetheless, Frank ignored her and strode inside. After all, he had no reason to play nice with the rest of the Lane family now that he and Helen were divorced!As soon as he entered, he found Henry standing there with an apron, having cooked up a storm. "What's the occasion, sir? That's a lot of food," he said.Henry was smiling when he saw Frank and walked up to grasp his hand. "Oh, you're here, Frankie—you'll find out soon enough."As the pair sat down and made pleasant small talk, Gina stared fixedly at Frank, fearful that he would say what he should not.Helen ar

    Frank's eyes lit up on the mention of graveyards. "Prospecting? Is your owner a burial plot owner too?"The nightclub manager nodded. "Everyone has a side business these days, don't they?"And I don't mean to brag, but the owner is the biggest burial plot owner in town, though that's mainly because most people here stick to ground burial but are also poor at prospecting, which is how the owner got his business booming.""Good." Frank nodded. "Now take me to him."-By the next morning, Frank was standing in front of a gravestone that was swiftly carved overnight.There were only the letters RIP inscribed on it and nothing else, and Frank stated at it as he somberly apologized, "Sorry, I didn't even know your name so I could only leave it blank. Still, my friend would eventually find out and make up for it."He heard a faint breeze and suddenly spun to catch a throwing knife launched at him while staring at a nearby woods.A lofty man standing around six foot seven emerged, havi

    Slowly walking up to the beggar, Frank smirked. "Do you see the truth now? See, strength comes from knowing thyself. Empowerment gained from prayers would never last, and there are no divine beings in this world!"Unable to talk, the beggar could only repeatedly shake his head.However, both he and his apprentice finally came to recognize the reality that Frank was right.They appeared superior, but only relative to the normal person.When compared to Frank, they were just monkeys in a ballpark, or perhaps even less!After all, some monkeys got fed, while they snatched food!"Time to die."With a wave of his hand, blood ejected out of the beggar's orifices, and he died on the spot.Everyone was stunned, not expecting the beggar who had postured himself with superiority to be crushed to this extent.Just like how the beggar destroyed the Fab Five, Frank was just doing the same thing.Still, Frank gestured for calm and called out, "Calm down. This man was responsible for variou

    As such, the beggar said, "Don't you want to transcend beyond your human bonds and become the most powerful being in the world?"Just look at those ignorant mortals around you. How are they different from livestock?"Frank smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, but I'm one of those mortals too, if only a little stronger than the rest."At those words, the beggar understood what Frank's deal was. "Vigilante, huh? I was like you when I was younger, filled with vigor and justice. It's only when I'm older that I realized how naive I was. There's no justice in the world of adults, only self-gain!"Frank laughed. "I don't think so. That's the priority of the weak. If the strong are willing, self-gain would come endlessly, along with reputation!""Really?"The beggar was utterly incensed by Frank's words. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. I'm not holding back now!"He balled his knuckles, and two lightning bolts appeared in his grasp like swords, which he launched at Frank. Fr

    "There's always a bigger fish, as they say. Obviously, the geezer is no pushover and is one of those fighter monks."I'm surprised that someone that horrific exists in a quiet place like this. Guess he's what they call a sage of the land."While the nightclub guests were chatting nonchalantly, the manager was hardly as relaxed as them.Seeing that the bar's best fighters were defeated so easily, he turned to run.The beggar smirked and suddenly stomped his foot on the floor tiles, launching the shards at the manager.Bang!For some reason, the tiles exploded into dust just before they reached the manager!The crowd was stunned. Were there more martial elites around here?While they were stunned, a man strode in through the entrance, and it was none other than Frank himself!Beside him floated another man, Squint, who was absolutely thrilled to see his mentor!"Master!" he promptly cried out. "He killed four of us! You must avenge them!"Then, wheeling on Frank, he gloated, "

    The manager was annoyed, but there was no helping it since this was a nightclub. They still had to open for business and receive customers, even if he considered the beggar beneath him.If a fight started, he might as well just shut down his own business!"Please, Your Worship. Could we stop messing about? What's wrong with being happy with everyone else?"As the manager spoke, he picked up the money on the floor and returned it to the security guard. One always earned tips working at a nightclub, and the manager could afford to lose some spare change.However, that only upset that beggar further. Instead of taking the money, he kicked the manager to the floor!The manager had been as tolerant as he could, but since the beggar was still being unreasonable, he promptly called for assistance through his walkie-talkie.Soon, a dozen bouncers emerged from the nightclub.The manager was on his feet too, pointing at the beggar and persuading, "Last chance, old man. Leave, or we'll mak

    Laughing, Squint seemed to have forgotten his place, and he gloated. "I shall just wait and witness the moment you get yourselves killed! And I heard that you keep plenty of babes around, so I'll take good care of them for you. Keep both eyes on me in the afterlife!"Frank simply smiled in wry amusement. "Could you not get ahead of yourself so soon? Your mentor has yet to show up, so your situation is quite precarious… what are you going to do if I suddenly change my mind?"Frank's words certainly yanked Squint back to the present—indeed, Frank still had him restrained!Still, while he was worried that Frank would just kill him now, he had the feeling that Frank would like someone to watch."Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing it when it happens." He grinned. "I'm sure you're not going to kill me before that."Frank smirked. "You're right. I won't kill you until I make you watch the moment I defeat your mentor, but that doesn't mean you're getting off unscathed."Seeing the

    Squint was left utterly bewildered.He had messed up—big time!While Frank was good, he was also sadistic!Logically speaking, both qualities should not exist in a man at the same time.But it did, so what could he do?"S-Stay away!"It went without saying that Squint was horrified as he watched Frank slowly walk toward him.Now, he was a wicked man fearing a man more wicked than himself!It was just that Frank was eccentric enough to kill the wicked but spare innocents.At that point, Squint realized why Frank was strong.It was no coincidence, but destiny!There are elements in this world that keep each other in check. But once the balance is lost, the world becomes just a little darker.At that point, the only logic was survival of the fittest and a merciless destruction of the weak!And in Squint's eyes, Frank had no emotion to speak of. His sadism was at most respect—and returning the favor for what they did to Crewcut.An eye for an eye, as they say!Still, when he

    Frank chuckled. "You chose poorly. The fish proves that you have a strong drive to survive, and you'd attack me just for that. Why should I keep you around?"With those words, and even before Cyclops could argue, he disappeared as the other three watched.They traded glances, scared for a second, before smiling the next.That prick thought himself clever and screwed himself over for trying to be smart!Since it was an either or question, the youngest of the three then said, "The hair needle!"With Cyclops being the precedent, the right answer was now obvious, so he would beat the rest to it."So you're saying you wouldn't hesitate to kill and would come after me for revenge? Then I have even less reason to keep you around!"Frank waved his hand, and the youngest of the three disappeared too.The remaining two traded a look of pain.They thought that the youngsters had chosen wisely, and that they were ones who were going to die.But as it turned out, there was never a right
