The voice in his headset issued an order in Talnamese too. "Follow her, and find out where she got that ruby."

"Yes, sir," the man replied as he got up, impassive as he followed Cindy, who was still reveling in delight.

Later that night, Janet said her goodbyes with her colleagues at Flora Hall, turned off the lights, and was ready to head home.

Just as she picked up her bag, she noticed a slender figure collapsed by the shadows of the wall.

"What?" Janet moved closer to find a woman covered in injuries.

Scabs had built up over her wounds—new and old, while her clothes were in pieces.

"Hello? Hey!" Janet walked up, gently patting her on the cheek.

"Frank… Frank Lawrence…" the woman suddenly murmured.

"Frank Lawerence?" Janet exclaimed in shock and leaned in to listen to the woman's feeble whispers.

But there was no mistaking it—she had said Frank Lawrence.

"Could she be Frank's girlfriend?!" Janet promptly went to work, calling in her colleagues who had not let her carry t

    The woman was Quinn Ocean.Still, Frank was confused even as he felt relieved—he clearly remembered letting Quinn and her father Bocek go.Even without her vigor and meridian nexus, she still had her martial arts.So what could have left her half-dead? Sage Lake Sect?Frank kept making theories, but blind guessing proved pointless.Instead, he turned toward the busy healers around Quinn, frowning as he urged, "Make way. Leave her to me."Janet walked up and asked, "Do you know her, Frank?""Yeah," Frank directed his vigor into his fingers, tapping Quinn's various acupoints rapidly without stopping.Soon, she coughed out a mouthful of clotted blood."Needle!" Frank snapped, holding out a hand to Janet."Oh… Okay!" Janet promptly ran to get a box of disinfected needles.Whoosh.Frank grabbed a handful and spread them like petals over Quinn's acupoints before taking out an Ichor Pill and feeding it to her.As the Ichor Pill took effect, color returned to Quinn's cheeks, her e

    Frank mused to himself even as he held Quinn's searing gaze, but he eventually shook his head."It's probably too late. I don't think anyone can reason with Maron Ocean, and Sage Lake Sect wouldn't change their mind even if you returned."Pausing, he then continued, "Moreover, you're worth nothing to the Sage Lake Sect after your father's death. Instead of retaliating against the Salazar's like you said, Maron would just have me killed to get more out of this."Frank's dissection left Quinn's face paling in despair.After all, she knew that everything Frank said was right.As soon as Bocek's meridian nexus was destroyed, he and Quinn knew that there was no longer any place for them in Sage Lake Sake.They wanted to return just to gather their allies and use their reputation to reclaim whatever fortune they had before they left.Now that Bocek was dead, any influence he had had gone up in smoke.It was pointless even if Quinn returned now—no one would listen to her, and she migh

    Quinn shrugged. "Don't worry about me. They can kill me for all I care."Frank was actually surprised to see her acting tough."Fine. Get in," he said and was left watching as she limped toward his car, struggling to get inside.It was clear that even with his miraculous Ichor Pill, one night was too brief for Quinn to fully recover—it only stopped her injuries from deteriorating at best.In fact, moving would have ruptured it, and Quinn was bleeding from her lap even as she rode shotgun.She was silent throughout their journey, her eyes staring ahead.Frank's phone rang with a call from Janet Zimmer just then. "Frank… Have you seen the woman last night? She's gone when I woke up this morning! Her injuries are still very severe, and her bones haven't been realigned. I'm afraid…""Don't worry," Frank said quietly, hearing the concern in Janet's voice even as he glanced at Quinn's shaking fingers and bleeding legs. "She's with me. I'll treat her myself.""Oh, I see…" Janet sounde

    The technique in question was the Needles of Nine Animus.Frank projected his pure vigor, coiling it around the acupoint needles as translucent threads after disinfecting them.Then, taking aim at Quinn's acupoint, he focused all his attention to the epidermis as he slowly pressed one needle into her belly."Ahhh…" Quinn moaned in a way that would send imaginations running wild."Hold on," Frank told her, breaking a rare drop of sweat over his brow.He had never used this acupuncture technique before, since he had only read about it in a book from Mystic Sky Sect's forbidden section.This acupuncture technique accelerated regeneration, regardless of how severe the injury could be. While that was as unbelievable as it was illogical, it was not a technique that healed all injuries and maladies. Instead, it was a radical technique to be used in extreme circumstances because it burned through the person's potential and vigor limit in exchange for quickened regeneration.It was undou

    Frank never turned back as he strode out of the hotel room only to find a large group of people crowding the doorway outside.There were both men and women, and all of them were nodding in understanding when they saw Frank.Two men strode up right then, exclaiming, "That was amazing, brother!""Damn straight. What supplements have you been taking? Can you give me a recommendation?"Frank did a double take, and it was only after a while that he realized what both men meant.The hotel was not particularly large, and the walls were thin—Quinn's voice must have resounded across the entire building "Leave a number, handsome?" Two ladies whose bodies were only covered with bath towels even intercepted Frank on his way out, winking flirtatiously."Sorry, not interested." Frank strode past them right then, though the two men gave chase right then. "Come on, brother! What's your secret? Tell us…"Still in the room, Quinn was left staring blankly at the bloodstains on the sheets, and

    Nothing was easier than for Quinn to avoid the guards and sneak into Dahok's residence.She split up with Frank as he would be drawing the attention of the Sage Lake Sect leaders.He strode through the mountain gates and immediately saw the stately board on which the name 'Sage Lake Sect' was carved—century-old sects really did impress.The apprentices standing guard were glowering and barking when they saw Frank, "Who goes there?!""Frank Lawrence of Riverton."The apprentices' faces fell as soon as Frank replied, and they encircled Frank while one of them ran into the building to report.Soon, Maron Ocean and a group of Sage Lake Sect elders stepped out, standing above the stairs as they looked down on Frank with lofty contempt.Maron was still in his white suit, clapping when he saw Frank. "Not bad. You have the balls to come here to die."The two elders with him scowled in disdain, snapping, "Slaying our apprentices and our high elder?! Get down on your knees and accept you

    "I'm giving you a chance now," Frank simply growled at Maron, returning his threat word-for-word. "Release them, or you'll die!"Elder Huxley and Elder Randel's faces fell at Frank's threat, but Maron appeared perfectly calm.It was as he had expected Frank to attack and hold him hostage and did not even resist.In fact, he almost appeared perfectly content as Frank's hostage."Don't move!" he snapped at Elder Huxley and Elder Randel as they were ready to save him before turning back to Frank and smiling. "Go on, do it. Kill me!""What?" Frank was dumbstruck that Frank was that fearless."Oh, don't be so surprised." Maron chuckled. "Kill me right here if you have the balls, Frank Lawrence—but you have to think about it: none of your girls are going to get away alive if you do. If that's what you want, then do it."Maron was absolutely confident that Frank would back down—even if Frank could crush his neck like he wanted, it meant burning bridges with Sage Lake Sect.Even Frank

    Maron was endlessly pompous, clearly saying all he could to provoke Frank."It just happens that I have a guest from Morhen, but how do I put this? We can't afford to upset her." Maron sighed, shaking his head dramatically as he walked circles around Frank. "She's so hot, but she's also too powerful. She'd just kill me if I try to force myself on her—that's why I need a fearless champion, and one who has nothing to do with Sage Lake Sect to take her down. But I don't mean to hurt her, I just want to incapacitate her—ideally unconscious.""After that, leave everything to me," he finished, clapping Frank on the shoulder and patting his cheek. "I'm counting on you, Mr. Lawrence! If you do, I'll…"Maron trailed off as he switched gears. "Hold on, letting off a martial elite like you so easily is a waste. Let's do it this way instead—I have five hostages, but you can pick the one I release while I release each of them after you fulfill a task for me. Generous, aren't I? That's decided!

    Furious, the drunkard snapped, "The lady never protested, boy. What's it to you?"Frank smirked in turn. "So what if she didn't? And you'd be dead if I didn't want to spare myself the trouble."The drunkard was left frustrated, but he also knew that he could not argue against someone like Frank and wheeled on the cabbie with a cool glare.There was no reason for the cabbie to pick up another passenger after already taking on Frank and Drunken Moon.However, it was just as he said—it was hard to make a living, and it would have been reasonable if Frank had just said no.Be that as it may, this drunkard had to provoke the two youths who were perfectly amicable, and even the cabbie could not abide with that!"I'm sorry, sir, but this isn't your home," he warned sternly. "You don't get to put the moves on a lady just because you wanted to. And if you don't like it, you can get off!"However, it seems that pride was ingrained in the drunkard's bones. Still half-drunk and seeing that

    After just a couple of words, Drunken Moon hung up and told Frank about the tip, and he nodded. "It's time that we go back too. But before that…"The bellgirl was a magnet for trouble just like Frank, and who knew what would happen to her soon if she was left alone.As such, Frank decided to just deal with the root of the issue and granted her some of his powers.It went without saying that the bellgirl was absolutely thrilled, feeling the alterations in her body. "S-So this is the providence of bestowing powers?!" she exclaimed. "You're really giving me too much credit, Mr. Frankton!"Drunken Moon laughed. "Hang around long enough, and you'd know that he respects everyone, aside from those who disrespect others. But try not to tell anyone—knowing is enough."The bellgirl nodded blankly, while Frank and Drunken Moon headed downstairs, taking a taxi to return to the homestay cottage.They were talking when the cabbie suddenly asked, "Excuse me, can I take on another passenger?

    As she spoke, Drunken Moon shoved Frank back into the room, staring blankly at his face for a moment.Truly, with good deeds came goodies—she had been a dutiful priestess, and the heavens thus responded.And now, they delivered a pretty boy for her enjoyment!"I shall now partake, handsome!" she purred and went to work…-Frank woke up early the next morning, buying breakfast outside before returning to the room and finding Drunken Moon awake.She lay sprawled on the bed, rubbing her hips and frowning. "I heard from Alda that the ladies who had a taste were sore the next day."I was skeptical, but now I believe it. You're really too strong, you bully!"Frank chuckled. "Well, not all of them. At least Sylvie was fine!""What?!" Drunken Moon blanched.She would not mind losing to the likes of Jada, since they were more or less action women, and it made sense.But Sylvie was a normal woman! How did she get such good hips?Reading Drunken Moon's mind, Frank chuckled. "In the en

    As Frank nodded in understanding, the youth continued, "I just happened to be in the neighborhood and was going to visit the white-clad geezer, but I didn't expect him to be dead."Still, I found out after investigation that he deserved it, so I came to you with the intention to have a spar. I even told them beforehand that I came for revenge, since I was worried you wouldn't go all out."It's just a shame that I was so weak that I wouldn't even last a second."Frank smiled, shaking his head. "That's not all there is to it. You're the first to realize the gap between us—people like you who know their own limits are that rare."The youth chuckled. "Well, I have a question—with your regeneration, and in cases where you're decapitated, would your body regenerate out of your head, or would your head regenerate out of your body?"And if it was cut in half, would one half be abandoned while the other heals?"That was a question that the youth had withheld for a long while. From the ver

    "Revenge?" Frank was puzzled, though Drunken Moon had no idea why he would be. "What's so weird about that? With the long list of enemies you have, someone would definitely come for you!"Frank laughed. "No, you misunderstand. I'm not puzzled as to why people would hate me—sure, I'm always vanquishing evil, but I would always make sure they die. Why would anyone want to avenge them?""Hehe!" Drunken Moon giggled—so that was what Frank actually worried about?Still, it made sense, as Frank's ability could match the gods', and there really were not that many who could escape his clutches!"In that case, we should get this out of the way," she then said. "Let's go deal with those third-rates now."Drunken Moon smiled wryly, but she followed Frank downstairs to find a hunched youth waiting.The youth seemed not to care that much about his grudge, even studying Frank's frame with interest. "Amazing… Simply amazing! That physique of yours is quite the rarity!" "The legs of a crane,

    The demisage did a double take before laughing silly while looking at Frank like he was stupid.After all, Frank could have destroyed him without a scratch. It was only natural the demisage was shocked that Frank was such an idiot he would challenge his ward instead!"Did you know who taught me that ward?" The demisage gloated. "It was my mentor—a man more powerful than you'd ever be!"Let me put it to you this way—this ward would consume even a tank! That said, you don't have to worry about your girl. She's quite a looker, if nothing else!"Frank smirked. "Did you know that if you want to win a lady over, you must conquer her with sheer power? Schemers like you aren't at all attractive to them!"With those words, he spread his arms, feeling the strange energy surging around him.The demisage was right that his mentor was powerful, and this ward was new to Frank. He would not even shy from saying that every opponent he ever faced might not beat this ward either, and one could t

    The demisage smiled ever so subtly and said, "It's never a good idea to prowl the streets alone. It'd be terrible if someone blindsides you."Frank nodded. "You're right, one must never do that—who knows what wickedness they'd run into."Both men shared a smile with each having their own thoughts, while their car soon arrived outside an abandoned school.As they alighted, the demisage led Frank up to the top floor and drew a strange ward on the floor.The demisage then pointed at its center. "There, in the middle!"Frank nodded and was about to step inside before abruptly stopping. "That's how the others got killed, huh?"The demisage did a double take but quickly said, "You're so funny, kid!"Frank smirked. "Oh, but I'm not. Do you think I'm inexperienced like the rest? I'd disintegrate as soon as I stepped into the ward—or am I wrong?"While the demisage was caught by surprise and could not manage a word, Frank chuckled. "Curious how I found out, aren't you? To be honest, I d

    While Drunken Moon was determined to not let Frank slip through her fingers, she was still embarrassed since this was her first time.She blushed even harder at Frank's words and shouted in the direction of the door, "Hold on!"Then, speeding into the bathroom to get changed and running out, Frank opened the door to see the bellgirl with a shaman standing beside her.Or a demisage, to be precise!He was shaved bald and had a brand over his forehead, but he was holding a Ouija board and sported a goatee, looking just like the charlatans on TV.If the demisage had not pointed out precisely which room was haunted, the bellgirl would not have let him in at all!"Greetings!"The demisage nodded at Frank and Drunken Moon before turning toward the bathroom.Then, turning back towards Frank approvingly, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who destroyed the creature that was inside?"Frank nodded. "You have a good eye, but do tell—how did you know this was the room?""That's

    Frank and Drunken Moon headed to the suite, though it was anything but—there was simply more effort put into the interior design.Drunken Moon pointed at the bathroom. "I guess you felt it even before we came in?"Frank smiled and nodded—he could sense the bundle of energy lingering in the bathroom, a paranormal element as the layman would put it."What, am I in charge of ghostbusting now?" he joked.Drunken Moon sat on bed, crossing her legs, and shrugged. "Don't worry. You will be rewarded—just hurry!"Frank nodded and opened the bathroom to find a bundle of black hair on the floor.The hair was squirming like the tentacles of an octopus and reaching outward but could not leave the bathroom for some reason.Frank knocked on the door and realized that it had been infused with some sort of special energy, confining the black hair inside."Sorry, but you're being evicted!"Levitating the black hair with just a thought, Frank had it explode with a pop.Then, ensuring that the e
