It happened in a split second, and Frank presumed that Cliff would concede.

After all, they were just sparring, and Frank had no reason to murder a bodyguard of the Turnbulls.

To his surprise, however, Cliff never sensed a thing and kept attacking him!

"Stop!" Vicky shouted at that very moment. "That's more than three! Frank won!"

Cliff stopped in turn.

His boss only told him to threaten the kid—he had enough self-control to not kill Frank.

He quietly backed away. Then, straightening his clothes, he suddenly realized that his collar button was gone and swore under his breath, "Shit, where did it go?"

At the same time, Vicky turned to her mother. "Frank can take the wonderroot now, right?"

Susan nodded. "Yes. Also, I'll be leaving soon—Cliff will stay as your bodyguard."

"My bodyguard? That's unnecessary—Frank is my personal bodyguard." Vicky refused right away, wrapping her hands around his arm. "And there's still Yara, who is the daughter of the governor. You really don't hav

    "What is that?" Frank asked in curiosity. Vicky leveled a mysterious gaze on him. "It's a pharmaceutical company. You can better harvest the rare medicinal ingredients from across the world if you join us—in fact, I'm doing this for you!""Haha…" Frank chuckled—he had just met her days ago, and he really doubted Vicky would go that far for him. "Let's just be honest, alright? What is it that you want?"While he was interested in such a company, Frank knew that nothing was free in this world. This was a give and take, and there must be a catch.Vicky smiled. "I want you to be my boyfriend.""What?" Frank appeared stupefied—he did not want to make enemies for no reason, especially since she was already engaged.Vicky giggled when she saw that it was a no. "I'm just kidding. Anyway, my side of the family has been eager to expand our medicinal business into Middleton. I've always been in charge of that, but I also know my uncle's side of the family would definitely send someone over

    Helen did not dawdle and hurried to Henry's room.The room with antique furnishings was now swirling with the scent of medicine, with various emergency medical equipment brought into the room.Two nurses were working busily, and Helen ran up to Henry to find him on his last legs."Grandpa…" she murmured miserably."Frank? I-Is that you?" Henry slowly opened his eyes, thinking she was Frank."It's me, Helen," Helen quickly said."Helen?" Henry appeared surprised and mustered his spirit to continue, "You're here? Where's Frank? Why isn't he here with you…""Grandpa, we're already divorced," Helen said awkwardly. "He's not coming."Henry's breathing turned ragged and his tone became urgent. "Helen… You shouldn't have divorced Frank… You shouldn't…"His reaction shocked Helen. "Please, Grandfather. You're scaring me… calm down!"The nurse nearby sighed just then. "He's been calling the name Frank Lawrence a thousand times over, unable to eat or sleep."Helen pursed her lips—she

    Gina absolutely disagreed. "What do you mean by others? Mr. Wesley has helped us so much!"Peter agreed. "From where I'm standing, he would be better as my brother-in-law than Frank.""Just shut it," Helen shot him a glare and refused to say anything further. -Frank arrived in an hour, but no one greeted him since he amounted much less than a son-in-law.Only Helen did, although she too had opinions against him because of what happened before. "Hey."Frank asked right away," How's Gramps?""It doesn't look good."Frank nodded. "I'll see him."With that, he walked past the crowd and made a beeline for Henry's room."How are you, Gramps?" he asked when he saw Henry.The man had been waiting and promptly looked up at Frank's familiar voice. "You're really here, Frank."Frank held his hand while taking his pulse. "Yes, I am."Henry was in turn calmer when he saw Frank. "My family has wronged you, Frank…"Frank shook his head and assured him, "You'll be fine as long as I'm a

    Suddenly, the door opened, and Gina and the rest of the family rushed inside.The instant she saw Frank holding a hand on Henry, she promptly rushed up to stop him. "What are you doing?!"Frank frowned. "I'm treating him.""Treating him?!" Gina glowered in contempt, shoving Frank off. "A lowlife like you? Buzz off!""What…" Frank was speechless. Henry frowned in turn. "Frank is helping me.""What would he know?" Gina snorted. "You have nothing to worry about now. Sean Wesley spent a fortune to buy a super pill when he heard what happened."Henry growled through his teeth. "I don't need that. Tell him to leave.""What are you saying? Mr. Wesley has helped us so much and he's interested in Helen," Gina said smugly. "He'll soon marry her too.""What…"Henry fainted at Gina's words, leaving everyone shocked!"Grandfather…""Move." Frank shoved his way forward, intent on helping Henry."No, you move!" Gina snapped right then, "Who do you think you are, telling me to move?! Do

    Sean's heart skipped a beat.In reality, he had only heard about the Ichor Pill while having a drink with Tidus yesterday—there were none left aside from the one Gerald consumed.When he heard Henry was sick, he simply bought some vitamin pills that would not help at all. He disguised them as the Ichor Pills, since the vitamin pills were harmless.It was his contribution if Henry recovered, while if Henry did not, his time was simply up.Sean certainly did not expect Frank to say that it was fake directly!However, before he could speak, Gina was already snapping, "Shut up! Are you doubting Mr. Wesley? Do you even know a thing about medicine?!"Beside her, Peter was glaring at him in contempt. "That's right. What gives you the right to doubt Mr. Wesley?"Haha!Sean was absolutely thrilled—with the Lanes around, he did not even have to come up with an excuse!Frank glared at them in turn. "I won't waste my breath with you. Right now, I want to save Gramps."However, Peter and

    Even Helen was looking at Sean in astonishment.The man himself actually felt a little embarrassed as he was caught in disbelief—did he somehow end up buying the real Ichor Pill? Maybe he should buy more later and stockpile it…"Haha! As long as Henry's fine." Gina laughed before shooting Frank a look. "See? Weren't you calling the Ichor Pill a fake just now? What do you have to say now that Henry's fine?"Peter joined in without qualms. "Come on, Mom. You really think he's some miracle healer or something?"Frank rolled his eyes.He was not bothered to explain—they would not believe anything he said now anyway, even if the reason Henry recovered was not because of the fake pills.When he turned to leave, however, Henry promptly stopped him. "Where are you going, Frank? You can at least stay for dinner…"Frank flashed a pained smile. "I'll pass. I have to go now—I'm busy.""No." The old man did not want him to leave at all and tried his best to keep him. "You saved my life. H

    As things tensed up between Sean and Frank, Frank's cab arrived.Sean did not make a move and smiled instead. "Be careful when you walk the streets at night, kiddo."Frank snorted in disdain. "I could say the same about you.""Fuck you," Sean cursed as he drove off.-Meanwhile, Henry completely ignored Gina and the rest after Frank left.Gina approached Helen just then, "Dear, wasn't Big Bright's Lyndon McCoy sick too?"Helen nodded. "Yeah. What about it?"Big Bright was a distributor of construction materials, and Lane Holdings was always buying from them with reasonable prices. Moreover, Lyndon was known to be a loyal, honest man.Gina quickly said, "Since Mr. Wesley brought two Ichor Pills, there's one left… Don't you think the McCoys would be indebted to you if you helped Lyndon? Bargaining would be so much easier after that!"Helen became pensive—her mother actually made sense.With the West City project commencing soon, Lane Holdings would need a huge supply of constr

    Moreover, Henry had taken the pill and was fine. There was no faking that.Lyndon then asked, "And what do you intend to do with it, Miss Lane?"Helen smiled faintly. "I'd like to give it to you, Mr. McCoy."Lyndon was immediately wary—nothing came for free, and would Helen give him such a miraculous pill?"And do you have a condition, Ms. Lane?" he asked. "Or perhaps you need a favor?""In reality, Lane Holdings doesn't have that much capital available," Helen said bluntly right then. "Now that we've secured the West City project, we are in need of copious amounts of building materials. I'm hoping that you would grant us some rebate, Mr. McCoy. In turn, we will be using your building materials exclusively with the West City Project.""I can grant you another ten percent rebate on top of all current rebates," Lyndon said."Thirty," Helen said sternly."Twenty.""Twenty-five," Helen said. "Mr. McCoy, this is a long-term project. In fact, you'd earn even more once the developmen

    The hag shook her head repeatedly. "No, this is impossible! Even if you're gifted, you wouldn't be this accomplished without giving blood and sweat!"Frank sighed. "Don't you know that Einstein revolutionized physics in his twenties? Prodigies don't simply possess extraordinary gifts—they can gain twice the success even with less effort than the average person, staying well beyond any of your reach."The hag smirked. "To be honest, I would have been willing to let you join us if not for your arrogance."At her words, the lotus she sat on turned pellucid like Frank's and started flashing in red light too.The crowd who was feeling just disappointed a second ago were once again thrilled, and the middle-aged man even dissed Frank. "And you call yourself a prodigy? You're just a bitch the way I see it—your red light only lasted that long!"The hag sighed. "Such a shame indeed!"The red light shot toward Frank as she finished but faded in an instant, and soon, the hag's lotus faded as

    Frank ignored the hag and asked, "How many people do you have?""It doesn't matter," the hag growled coldly. "They're plenty enough to deal with you."Frank nodded and sat cross-legged, closing and resting his eyes while saying, "Go on. Call for them."The hag was curious. "You're only in your twenties—wherever did you get that confidence?"Frank chuckled. "You can identify a horse from a donkey by making it run, as they say."The hag would like to end him right there. But considering that this was an opportunity to train, and they were all safe with her around, she decided to play along and called for everyone.Soon, over a hundred people dressed like the hag arrived. All of them were ugly or had birth defects, which paints quite the amusing picture.A middle-aged man in shades strode up, studying Frank in interest. "Oh, quite the overachiever, aren't you? Reaching the Ascendant rank in your twenties…"Frank shot him a look and asked coolly, "How many people have you killed be

    Frank yelled, "Tell me who your boss is, and I might spare your life! Otherwise, the glass shards on the door will be your doom."That certainly showed the woman that Frank was being honest, and that she misjudged men!Chuckling bitterly, she said, "I actually quite liked you, so I'd rather not speed you to your death. Know when to stop if you're really smart, kid."Frank laughed coolly. "If I was going to stop, would I have come after you or Horace at all?"Fear comes from the unknown, which is why people fear the dark and the paranormal. But when they emerge from it, they fear nothing!"The woman gaped at Frank in disbelief, surprised that someone like him existed in such a quiet corner in this world.Terrifying, yet not patient—his existence was way beyond her reach.But when it came to men like him, she was still all too happy to help him die for on reason!"Fine, I'll take you to her—just don't be disappointed in the gap of power. Try to keep your pride as you do now."Fr

    "What the fuck do you want?!"It was the first time Horace had ever seen anyone do something like this.Frank was helping out of sheer conscience and clearly would not tolerate anyone who committed evils, even going all out to wipe them out.At the same time, he was also different from the rest. Cunning ploys and fancy tricks were pointless against him, and he did not care about his reputation as long as he achieved his goal.And when it came to personal ability, wit, and influence, Horace simply did not compare in any element. He was also experienced enough to see that compliance was his only chance against a character like Frank. But chance did not even mean surviving but a polite death, because Frank would not let someone like him live!Throwing up his hands, Horace exclaimed, "I-I'll tell you everything! Just kill me—don't throw me in jail, okay?!"Frank said nothing and waited until Horace confessed everything, and once he gathered sufficient information, he snapped his fi

    "How did you get in here?"Before this, Horace had arranged a security detail of over a dozen men in case Frank came after him.Even if they were no match for Frank, they could at least buy time, while he would hear the commotion and flee!However, Frank simply appeared without a sound behind him, making it all the more horrific!"Simple, really."Frank smirked. "I knocked them all out quietly! But to be honest, it's your own fault for not hiring martial artists despite being so rich. It's what you deserve.""You can kill me, but what's going to happen to the girl's parents?"Horace smirked, still confident in his own advantage as he waved his phone at Frank.It was a simple gesture to tell him that he was ready to take Aisling's parents down with him.Frank simply ignored him. "The assassin you sent was quite something, to be honest. Pretty face, and that mole under her eye… She's really special."Horace lost all composure right then—that could only mean that Frank had met h

    "Got it!"The woman hung up and used her other phone to call Aisling again. "Lady, you will do everything we say. To put it harshly, you're now a slave—you don't get to refuse us!""Is that so?"Just as the woman finished, the window suddenly crashed open, and someone zoomed inside!Even before she could react, she was held firmly in place by the shoulder.Seeing the handsome face and knowing it was the martial elite who took down the dozenish goons sent by the cottage, she exclaimed in shock, "H-How did you find me?""Did you think I can't find you just because you're on the move?"Frank smirked as he pointed outside. "First and foremost, finding your name is simple since I have the means to find your number and therefore personal details. Also, this vehicle is registered under your name—and with the support of the most advanced GPS systems, it'd be shocking if I couldn't find you."In fact, Frank already knew the woman would not hang around in Aisling's home and called Jouri

    Other factors aside, pride matters more than anything else when a person gets rich, and Horace absolutely refused to be mocked as a coward."Don't worry about it. I have other arrangements in place," he said. He then told the middle-aged man to leave and called a mysterious number.-An hour later, Frank was speaking with the intern at his homestay cottage when her phone rang.Taking it out and seeing an unfamiliar number, she knew right away that it was from the Mount Statera's management and turned on the speakers despite her curiosity as she answered."Aisling Walls, was it? Your name has a nice ring to it!" A playful, feminine voice giggled eerily from the other end."What's it to you?" Aisling snorted in annoyance. "Mess around, and I'll call the cops on you!"The woman was not intimidated at all, even laughing icily. "Go on, but your parents will die if you do."Aisling was stunned, shaking her head as she cried, "No, that's impossible… How could you know where I live?"

    The middle-aged man frowned.He knew that the intern and the chief ranger would take convincing, but they did not even care to listen. "Actually, neither of you have any control over your lives now."And with that, he turned to leave.This was a homestay, after all—a fight would only further complicate the situation, which was why he did not want to do it here.However, just because he could bear with it did not mean that Frank could. "Hold it. Don't you think you're disrespecting me by leaving so quickly?"The middle-aged man stopped and turned, seemingly interested. "And where did you get the confidence to threaten me?"Frank simply smiled.At the very next instant, the middle-aged man and his dozen goons were sent flying.Then, even before they could get up, Frank had already cut up and stamped his foot on the middle-aged man's face."W-Who the hell are you?"He had worked for Horace for a while, but someone as bothersome as Frank was the first.Even if he was stupid, he

    The chief ranger sighed. "I can understand being altruistic, kid, but strength doesn't solve all problems."Frank laughed. "Are you sure I'm just good in a fight? The behavior of upper management is definitely terrible—if someone like me would simply let it slide, what would happen to the ordinary folk?"The chief ranger no longer hesitated and told the intern everything he knew.Soon, her article blew up on the internet, with netizens everywhere outraged.Management naturally could not just let it slide.Horace Gagne, the person in charge, promptly sent his people after the intern and the chief ranger, only to find that they were both in Frank's homestay cottage.As both groups convened, they reported to Horace right away despite their surprise.Horace was certainly no fool—he knew that someone was setting this scene.But so what about it? He had plenty of ways to bury his opponent.And with that, his thugs all stormed into the first floor living room to find Frank seated on
