Chapter 458

Author: Chu
Gina was almost sobbing. "It's over… It's over… We can't go back to the main family, can we?"

Seeing Gina and Helen whispering among each other, Jade promptly asked, "What is it? Where's the drakeroot? Bring it here already!"

Helen braced herself as she told Jade, "Frank already used the drakeroot."

"What?!" Jade exclaimed furiously.

"It's alright," Helen quickly said. "I brought Frank himself—he's a master in medicine, he'll definitely save Luna…"

"Are you kidding me?!" Jade's face contorted in rage and contempt. "All the healers of Southstream couldn't help Luna, and you're saying someone in Northstream can? She needs the drakeroot!"

"But it's gone," Helen said exasperatedly. "Moreover, Frank's skill in medicine is extraordinary. He might be able to help Luna, and it's more practical than waiting for another drakeroot to be found."

"Why is it gone?!" Jade bellowed as she wheeled on Gina. "You told me you'd definitely get it!"

"W-Well, we were too late," Gina murmured awkwardl

    "Exactly! We're above all else," Jade bellowed as she pointed Frank in the nose. "I'm giving you a chance to atone right now—apologize to my daughter!"Jade was absolutely confident in her family's authority and was ready to watch Frank apologize like a worm…However, she underestimated Frank, as he simply sneered. "Apologize to you? Dream on. Hell, even having me treat your daughter is delusional.""Frank Lawrence! How dare you disrespect my family!" Jade was livid."Forget it, Mom," Luna snapped in her bed. "We don't need him. There has to be a healer who can get me better anyway."On the other hand, Hali quickly reasoned, "Please, Mrs. Lane. Just calm down for a moment—you have a miracle worker right here, and your daughter will get well right away. And you're all family, right? Why get all upset over some little argument?""Shut up!" Hali's advice only left Jade further incensed. "Family?! With him?! He isn't family—I won't let him near my house even if he offered to clean

    While Gina absolutely refused to have anything to do with Frank, Jade folded her arms before her chest as she gloated, "You have one chance, Frank Lawrence! Get down on your knees and beg, and I might consider calling on my people to help you. Otherwise, you'll die tragically."Frank simply snorted in disdain. "I don't need your help. Also, look yourself in the mirror before you talk.""Vain prick…" Jade was livid.She was ready to see Frank kneel before her, begging, only for him to mock her instead!"Cut the chatter. Time to go," the head officer barked as he led Frank out of the ward.Frank did not resist, since he did not want to start a fight at a hospital.If anything, he would like to see who wanted him dead.On the other hand, Helen was panicking as she could do nothing but watch Frank being taken away.Turning toward Jade, she pleaded in hopes that Jade would call her people to bail Frank out. "Please, Aunt Jade. You have to save Frank—he's a little stubborn, but he's

    Frank started at Burt in turn—he had heard of him before. After all, Burt Yorkman had the reputation of making the most arrests in Riverton Precinct and was as competent as he was brutal. Those he had his eyes on would never get away, though Frank was still surprised he was a member of Sage Lake Sect.Still, he reasoned, "You are more or less a man of accomplishment in Riverton. Why stoop to being Sage Lake Sect's lapdog?"Burt chuckled, presuming that Frank was intimidated and therefore trying to sway him."Give up on your pretty words, kid." He snorted in disdain. "It's your misfortune for upsetting Sage Lake Sect—average Joes like you would never understand the terror they embody, but don't worry, I'll spare you the pain while satisfying Ms. Ocean."Frank chuckled. "So I should be thanking you?""You're welcome.""Actually, I know a thing or two about sects myself—have you heard of Mystic Sky Sect?" Frank asked just then.Burt did a double take, surprised that Frank was a

    When even Gerald Simmons, chief of Riverton general affairs called as well, Burt was left stunned by how many bigwigs of Riverton were demanding Frank's release.While he might even have released Frank on any other day given his vast influence, it was not happening now.He was a member of Sage Lake Sect, and he would offer his aid after they called upon him—that, or die terribly for causing offense against the sect.Frank chuckled. "Let me go now, and I can pretend today never happened. I'll even offer you a place when Mystic Sky Sect rises again.""You're kidding." Burt snorted. "I'm no ingrate, and not even the gods could save you now."And with those words, he poised his dagger, and—Bang!A deafening crash ensued from the doorway so loudly both men could hear it even from the sealed room.Burt frowned, intending to check out what happened when one of his men scrambled inside. "This is bad, sir. There's this huge group who just came in…"Burt remained calm. "Who has the bal

    Hans then turned toward Burt. "What should we do with this one, Mr. Lawrence?"Burt was left gulping just then—Hans could already floor him with just one strike, and he was not going to last a round in a fight.He could not help being afraid, but his only choice was to wait for Frank's judgment.However, Frank merely glanced this way before saying quietly, "Forget it. Don't bother with him."What?" Hans did a double take—this was not Frank's style!Anyone who ever tried to kill him would be killed in return, and Burt was going to torture him before that too! But he did not care?"Mr. Lawrence, are we really just going to let him go?" Hans asked in confusion.Frank wheeled on him. "What, are you questioning me?""No, of course not. I'd never question your magnanimity, sir." Hans promptly threw up his hands and hung his head.Burt was left dumbstruck even as he watched—even a clearly high-ranked military officer actually deferred to Frank to such an extent?Frank ignored Hans

    Jade smiled. "Oh, what are you saying? We're family—if you need anything, just ask. I'll definitely help however I can."Henry nodded in satisfaction. "Helen's husband was arrested, and I'm hoping you would use your Southstream contacts to bail him out."Jade promptly frowned at Helen—she did not need imagination to tell that the brat had asked Henry to persuade her.After a long thought, she began, "It's not like I don't want to help, but he has broken the country's laws—how am I supposed to help?""I know Frank," Henry quickly said. "He's definitely being framed. Just get him out, and then we'll properly investigate the issue."Helen dropped to her knees in front of Jade too, pleading, "Please, Aunt Jade. I'm begging you to save Frank."When she was told that Burt refused to listen to Vicky, she was panicking since she could not think of anyone else who would bail Frank out.And when Henry saw Helen kneel, he growled, "You can just make a call and resolve this, Jade. Or do yo

    Helen hesitated and asked, "Mr. Graves, this is urgent. Could you handle this as soon as possible?"After all, Frank had been taken away—another minute wasted meant further danger!"You can't rush such things. Due process, you see?" Chaz said somberly.However, Helen understood right away that Chaz was hinting that he wanted something in return—she was asking for a favor, after all.Even if they were childhood friends, it had been years and they had grown distant."Alright, where should we meet?" Helen quickly asked.Chaz sent her an address, and Helen headed out without hesitation once she received it, not forgetting to tell her secretary to transfer all the money Lane Holdings had to a specified account.-Helen quickly alighted after parking her car outside Hoff Hotel and quickly spotted the handsome, sharply-dressed man who was waiting at a window seat.She looked closely and saw that Chaz still retained some of his facial features.He noticed Helen too and smiled as he s

    Helen was awash with emotion that Chaz would hold their past bond in such high value."Thank you so much, Mr. Graves…"Chaz suddenly asked in curiosity, "By the way, who's Frank Lawrence to you?""My ex-husband."Chaz nodded in realization. "Oh! I did hear that you were getting married, but I was abroad so I couldn't attend your wedding. What a shame! I heard he was a lowlife and freeloaded your family for three years without working a proper job, though—why bother saving him?"Helen was left at a loss but soon smiled blissfully when she remembered Frank. "He's nothing much, but I was happy with him. It was a mistake divorcing him and I regret it, but he's still been good to me. That's why I'm hoping you would help him—he was framed."Chaz nodded, not expecting her to think that highly of Frank.Still, it was just a matter of bailing Frank out anyway, so he whipped out his phone right then. "Don't worry, Helen—I'll make the call right now."He promptly called Burt, even putting

    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
