Frank said, "I'd be near enough that way while you can make a living for yourself. What do you think?"

"Sure, that's good." Carol nodded repeatedly but soon paused. "But wouldn't buying a whole shop be very expensive? I don't really need it that badly…"

Frank smiled. "Don't worry—I can afford it."

"Then… Thank you very much. I don't know what else I can say," Carold exclaimed. "Can I have Winter with me too? Don't worry—we won't run away."

"Are you still wary of me, Madam Zims?" Frank asked in surprise.

He could not say that he was not hurt with how careful she was around him, especially since he was sincere.

Carol shook her head and made sure Winter was not around before saying, "No… I think you know about Winter's situation too, that she's not my daughter…?"

"I am aware. I don't mind telling you that I showed up at your snackbar the first time to look for her," Frank admitted, having no reason to hide it since Carol was now opening up to him.

Carol nodded in turn. "Yes, but W

    Zeb returned home late that same night and headed to his father's study.Seeing his son, Cram put down the book he was reading and asked, "I heard Henry Lane's birthday was today. How did you do?""Terrible. I was humiliated." Zeb huffed. "Frank Lawrence stole my thunder—not only did the Chief of General Affairs' secretary come to see him, but all of the Turnbulls' associates were there as well, inviting Frank to visit them!""Fine, then put all of that behind you," Cram lectured. "Right now, you should be trying to get the Rejuvenation Pill recipe.""I would, but Helen doesn't really trust me right now." Zeb sighed exasperatedly.Cram mused to himself for a while and said, "Then it's time I stepped up."Zeb quickly warned him, "Dad, you shouldn't underestimate Frank Lawrence. He's no pushover.""Haha!" Cram laughed. "If he were really that amazing, he wouldn't be freeloading off the Lane family for three years. You just stay out of this, and think of a way to win over Helen and

    Cram quickly said, "Don't reject me in a hurry, Mr. Lawrence. I'm buying the recipe, not demanding it—moreover, we can keep working together in the future. Or are you intent on having Vicky Turnbull as your sugar mommy for life? Really? A man of your talents?"Frank laughed at that.Cram, however, thought he was on to something since Frank did not argue and quickly added, "My family is no dynasty, but if you join me, we can build an empire where we reap all the benefits!""That's enough." Frank raised a hand to stop him. "I'll say it one last time—I'll never give you the Rejuvenation Pill or work with you. You can leave."Did Cram even know how influential the Turnbulls really were? Was he that stupid to believe Frank would trade the Turnbulls for him?!Cram frowned. "This is your chance at a new lease of life, Mr. Lawrence. You'd better think about it—I'm as sincere as I can be, so don't spit on my kindness."In Cram's mind, Frank had a lot to gain in working for him—a gigolo li

    Winter was afraid to impose as Frank stayed in seclusion.She attended her classes as usual during the day and helped out at her mother's new snackbar whenever she had free time.After Carol reopened her snackbar, things were once again busy whenever rush hour arrived.-A few days later, Winter was also helping out in the evening.After helping her mother close the doors, Carol said, "You should stay the night here, Winter."Winter shook her head. "No, I should go back to Skywater Bay. Frank is still in seclusion, and I'm not sure when he'll come out. I need to go back to check on him."Carol smiled. "You really care a lot about him."Winter blushed. "Stop it, Mom. Our family owes him—it's only right for me to show some care in return.""Okay. Hurry back soon," Carol told her.Winter nodded and rode her electric moped back to Skywater Bay. She looked up to see the skies covered in dark clouds—it looked like it was going to rain.She shut all the doors and windows before c

    However, Winter was too small to put up a fight, and the black-clad man smiled. "Calm down, it's just a little mark on your face! It'd be over before you know it… But the harder you struggle, the more it's going to hurt!"Winter watched in tearful despair as the knife inched closer to her face.Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the room.Bang!At the same time, there was a loud crash downstairs, startling both Winter and the black-clad man!"Frank! Help me!" Winter screamed on top of her lungs.The black-clad man then felt a terrible murderous presence behind him and turned to find a figure standing there.It was pitch-black, but the man's eyes somehow gleamed icily.Horrified and knowing that things had gone bad, the black-clad man tried to make the first move!Thud.There was a dull sound, and the black-clad man froze.He had no idea when Frank moved, but his knife was already gone.That was not all, as his hand was cut off at the wrist too!"Argh!!!"

    "Birthright?"Kenny's wife stared at her husband in confusion.She did not know much about martial arts, only that her husband had reached the pinnacle in wielding vigor.That fact alone allowed him to stand as chief of an entire marital sect.How much stronger would that other person be if they reached the Birthright rank?Kenny nodded. "Look at the skies. It seems that with the new Birthright rank, the tides will change in Riverton."-Kim White also heard the thunder outside her home.She stepped out of her room in her pajamas and soon found her father staring at the skies from behind the door.Seeing her, he smiled. "Why are you up this late, Kim?""I thought I heard thunder… It woke me up," Kim replied quietly.Eron nodded. "It's not your ordinary thunder either. Someone has just reached the Birthright rank.""Birthright rank? Is that really strong?" Kim asked in curiosity. "Of course. Even Kuno Yaffe only reached the pinnacle in wielding vigor." Eron sighed. "I won

    Frank said icily, "Give the order to boycott the Larkins.""Yes, Mr. Lawrence," Trevor replied without hesitation.-Meanwhile, Zeb entered his father's room and asked, "How did it go, Dad? Is Frank giving up the Rejuvenation Pill recipe yet?"Cram slammed his palm on the table as he spat furiously, "He told me to get down on my knees and apologize! He's really full of it!"Zeb narrowed his eyes. "In that case, let's just kidnap Helen. I can see that Frank is still attached to her, and it'll all be worth it when he hands over the recipe when we threaten her."Cram thought about it and nodded. "Guess it's our only way. Frank Lawrence only has himself to blame for not knowing his place."Zeb nodded and was just getting started when the phone in the study rang.Cram answered it and was immediately deafened by the caller's screams, "What's wrong with you, Cram Larkin?! How dare you challenge Mr. Lawrence?! Understand this—we never knew each other! And don't try to call me ever agai

    Leaving home, Zeb drove straight to Helen's office and greeted her once she stepped outside the building."Hey, Helen." He smiled."What are you doing here, Mr. Larkin?" Helen stared at him in surprise."Was just missing you. You didn't have lunch, right? There's a new restaurant nearby—why don't we go try it?" he offered with a cordial look.Helen thought about it and nodded—she was just going to eat anyway, and there was no reason to refuse.They soon arrived at the restaurant, with Zeb enthusiastically making the orders before smiling, "What do you think we should drink?"Helen shook her head. "I'll pass on the alcohol—I still have work to do."Zeb gave up, and after dining for a while, he cut to the chase. "It's been years, Helen. I'm sure you know how I feel about you. I came back to the country as soon as I heard about your divorce, and I never got married because you're the only one for me."Helen stiffened and leveled him a weird-out look. "Why are you suddenly telling

    Helen thought that she stood up too quickly and was going to reach for the wall, only to fall backward on the floor."What…"Helen tried to call for help but realized she could not speak!Zeb moved on top of her and smiled. "Oh, Helen—you shouldn't drink if you're bad with alcohol. Come, let's get you home."Helen's eyes widened in disbelief as she glared at him, knowing that he had drugged her.Her mind was clear, but her body simply refused to move!At the same time, Zeb carried Helen out of the restaurant, as the waitresses looked on with smiles, and threw her in the backseat.Helen kept looking around and tried to shout, but she could not do anything.That was when she spotted her own phone in her purse and pushed her hand as much as possible!It felt as heavy as lead, but she refused to give up. After all, she had no idea where Zeb would take her or what he would do to her!Luckily, she managed to make an emergency call with all her strength, and her emergency contact wa

    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
