Chapter 519

Author: Chu
Frank had no idea that Winter was miserable that Aria stole her beloved.

He merely presumed that his drunken fumble made things awkward between Winter and Aria, and he certainly had no words of comfort for that.

As such, his frustration only grew as he listened to Winter's sobs.

Beside him, Aria was hovering around him, placing food on his plate while sliding pointed glances at the direction in which Winter left.

She could not help it—Frank was as rich as he was successful, and Winter could not blame anyone that he was taken since she did not seize him.

-

Henry Lane's funeral was held the next day.

Vicky called early in the morning to inform Frank that she was busy and that he should attend as Grande Pharma's representative.

Frank did not dwell on it and drove Aria to Grande Square to pick out a couple of dresses suitable for the funeral.

Aria was excited through it all and dragged Winter across every specialty store before finally picking a black dress tailored by a famous de

    Aria glared at Jean as she left and shrieked, "Well, we're no longer friends now!"Jean did not look back but raised her hand over her head to give Aria the middle finger."Alright, stop drawing attention already." Frank intercepted Aria and quickly left Grande Square as a crowd looked on.Aria's scowl only faded after Frank bought her a ten million dollar diamond necklace.She was still obsessing over the green diamond pendant that Frank gave Winter all those days and wanted everything Winter had too!-Henry lay in a casket within Lane Manor.Helen, wearing a black dress with a white flower brooch, was staring at it fixedly.Gina, Chaz Graves, and everyone else tried to move her, but she refused to budge.Chaz was even smiling as he dropped to a crouch beside her. "Don't worry, Helen. I've asked my dad to invite every Riverton bigwig to give your grandfather a proper send off. I'm sure he can rest in peace to see them here."Gina's eyes lit up at his words. "You really are

    "Dan Zimmer, head of Riverton's Flora Hall!""Neil Turnbull of Morhen!"As the announcements came one after the other, every bigwig of Riverton seemed to have arrived.All the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) owners, along with other partners of the Lanes, were left astounded."I wouldn't have known that a modest family like the Lanes knows every bigwig in Riverton!""We have to ride on their coattails!""Aren't you slow? My friend works at Lane Holdings…""Actually, I heard that Lane Holdings called for an emergency meeting. Helen Lane is no longer CEO—it's Chaz Graves from Southstream.""What? Wait, is it still named Lane Holdings?""Who knows?""All these bigwigs must have come because of Mr. Graves.""No matter how pretty Ms. Lane is, she'd never get so many bigwigs to pay respects. Isn't it obvious who they came for?""Wait, aren't you forgetting someone? Wasn't Ms. Lane married before? Could it perhaps be her ex-husband?"Cindy rolled her eyes when she overhe

    Chaz's attitude left the Riverton bigwigs silent."You bastard!" Kenny Sparks, being a martial artist, was more direct in temperament.Like the others, he knew that Frank still had feelings for Helen despite their divorce. Chaz was asking for it by meddling!"We'll speak to Mr. Lawrence to confirm this issue. Watch your back, boy!" Kenny snapped, and stormed off angrily."What? Mr. Quill, what's his—"Chaz was not expecting this turn of events—did these people not come under his father's invitation?Dan seemed to realize what he was thinking and snorted in disdain. "Kid, did you think we came to pay our respects to Henry Lane because of your father? You'd be overestimating your family in that case."Gerald turned right then, not bothered to look at Chaz twice. "You should be thinking how you're going to explain yourself to Mr. Lawrence! You Graves have messed with someone above your pay grade!""Farewell."Tim left as well. Though he had not spoken with Frank much, he learne

    As Frank hung up, he finally arrived outside Lane Manor.A doorman promptly stopped him, snapping sternly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lawrence, but Mr. Graves gave express instructions not to let you drive inside."Aria wound down her window and snapped at the doorman, "Hey! This is plain disrespect! You have no right!"Frank stopped her. "Forget it. I'm not planning to stay anyway."He simply parked by the curb and headed inside Lane Manor with Aria.He immediately found Chaz and Donald having a particularly happy chat, and Donald's eyes went red the instant he saw Frank.Enemies really cannot stay in the same room. Although Donald was not about to start a fight just then, he flashed a sarcastic, savage smile at Frank. "Cherish your last days, Mr. Lawrence.""When's your son's funeral? Do send an invite to Skywater Bay—I'll definitely be there."Frank would naturally not take his jibe lying down, and his single remark certainly struck Donald where it hurt."You bastard!" Donald almost e

    Aria argued, "Your ex-wife is even more unreasonable, telling us to leave!"Helen was going to explain herself but ultimately closed her eyes and repressed her flaring emotions as she snapped coolly, "You can both leave if you disrespect my grandfather again.""Be quiet." Frank glared at Aria too, finally silencing her.He strode up to Helen's side and stood before Henry's casket. He then dropped to his knees and kowtowed three times."I will never forget that you saved my life, Gramps. I've done you a dishonor—I failed to protect your family and caused your death. I'll always feel remorse for my actions and can only hope that you'll forgive me."Gina promptly laughed coldly at that. "Oh, you actually know that? Though I suspect that you'd actually feel remorse.""Yeah! You're a murderer! Helen's grandfather died because of you!" Cindy cried crocodile tears even as she pointed at Frank as everyone watched."Mom! Cindy!" Helen's eyes turned red as she lost it right then. "Please

    However, Helen's plans went south.Chaz's involvement and his leverage forced Helen to go against her own wishes.She had to sacrifice herself to keep Frank safe…"Quit gawking. Frank is mine," Aria suddenly said coolly beside her.As a fellow woman, she could certainly see the intent in Helen's eyes and quickly asserted dominance."What?"Helen stared at Aria, stunned. She was just a college student dressed in risque fashion and with modest looks, depending entirely on makeup.And given her earlier outbursts, she clearly lacked tact.Why would Frank be interested in her?Naturally, Helen's skeptical reaction left Aria's inferiority complex flaring.Helen was a natural beauty with a stunning figure, but she would still beat Aria despite her haggard looks after all the recent stress.There was just no way Aria could win—not even ten of her would.There was even less need to elaborate on style, when one was a plain Jane and the other a strong, independent woman."Frank and I

    Frank received a call from Burt Yorkman, who was wheezing and sounded weak over the phone. "It worked, Mr. Lawrence. Quinn Ocean and her father Bocek believed me, and you'll be hearing about Goldeater Cane before long.""Yeah, good work… Why do you sound so weak?" Frank asked in curiosity."Oh, I just had to suffer a little to make it look convincing… Oof, that woman can really land a hit. Some of my ribs are broken and she could've killed me right there." Burt chuckled.Frank, however, could tell that he was pushing himself. "Head to Flora Hall if you have the time. Just say my name, and someone will do their best to treat you.""Sure," Burt replied right away but soon added worriedly, "I have to warn you before that, Mr. Lawrence—Bocek Ocean is a monster, and his place in Skyrank is deserved. You have to watch out when you're fighting him.""Got it." Frank hung up and took Aria home to Skywater Bay, where he found a middle-aged man in a white shirt, waiting with two bodyguards o

    Aria was sweating over her brow even as she stood at a corner.At White Court Hotel, she had set things up so that Frank believed he had a drunken fumble with her.She knew there were cameras in the hallways and the elevators, but there were voyeurs too…?!Did that mean that what she did that night was recorded, and Eron's daughter wanted to tell Frank about that?Forget Frank's fury once he was found out and take back everything he gave her—the life in glamor and riches she envisioned would go up in smoke!Even as the thought struck her, Aria forced a smile as he turned toward Frank. "I'm a little tired… I'll go to my room now.""Yeah, sure," Frank replied, already suspicious after seeing her unusual reaction.Moreover, he was a Birthright rank elite and had overwhelming self-restraint, not to mention that he checked himself right after and did not find anything unusual.And if he really passed out drunk, how would he even get it on with Aria?If anything, Frank had his suspi

    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
