While Lydia was left spacing out, Claude walked up, putting a hand around her waist while grinning at Frank. "I've seen many idiots like you trying to act like the hero, swooping in to save a beauty. Did you think you and Lydia's double act could trick me or anyone around here? Hah! Save your breath!""Double act?!" Bode was left hesitant, but after looking at Frank's tattered clothes, he came to his senses and was instantly furious from being tricked!"How dare you! You were tricking me, and you have the balls to snap at me?!" he bellowed.In the end, Frank was not someone who bought a Maybach. He was just Lydia's simp, and he came not to buy a car, but to save Lydia from Claude.Buying a Maybach?! The likes of him?!Nearby, Jane's face fell in humiliation as she realized she had been tricked too.Just then, Claude smirked as he continued, "You really know how to talk big, brat! Bullshiting with giving up on a million-dollar Maybach just because it broke? Buying a new car inst

"Yes, boss!" The goons laughed savagely even as they charged at Mona.Finally munching on the last chip, Mona laughed coolly. "Well, you asked for it!"With those words, she raised her foot into the air and brought it down on the scalp of a goon's head… and left it dented.Then, she launched a punch against a smirking goon reaching out to grab her."She's a martial—"Panic showed on the goon's face, and he was sent flying even before he could finish, a knuckle print on his chest as he crashed through the glass wall nearby."Shit!"The other goons around them were stunned by the sight—none of them expected a young girl to be that strong!"What, didn't you want to have fun?"Mona laughed coolly and lunged at the goons even as they hesitated. "Since you're not moving, you can't blame me for this!"Pow!With an upper hook, Mona sent another screaming goon flying, his head crashing into the ceiling.Then, moving like a gale, she grabbed the goon leader by his mohawk and threw hi

One might even say the gold card holder was omnipotent, as they had the authority to make changes to the staff in Pearce Group business!Bode stammered just then. "O-Oh, I didn't realize it's you, Mr. Lawrence…"-Frank was the holder of that one and only Pearce Group gold card, and it was given to him by Gene after Frank saved his life.Everyone working for Pearce Group knew that, though Bode never had time to read Frank's file to recognize him.And seeing that card now, he realized that the man he thought to be Lydia's simp was actually the man who saved Gene's life.Bode's legs turned to jelly right then, and he dropped to the floor, too afraid to do anything.He had to put considerable effort into pushing himself off the floor to pull the gold card out of the wall.He passed it back to Frank with two trembling hands before dropping before his feet, trembling in fear. "Mr. Lawrence… I have been misled and ignorant! I deserve to die!"Nearby, Jane seemed to forget the agony

At the rate Mona was eating, Aion Fairfax would not need divination to see that it was impossible for them to afford her food bills."Haha, it's fine—It's fine." Carol was most pleased to see Mona eat so much and quickly cooked more food, with Nash Yego helping.As everyone slid their food to Mona, she accepted all comers, wolfing down everything blissfully.One really had to wonder how she fit all that food in her tiny body. It was as if her stomach was a black hole, and no bucket of rice made a single difference."Wait, she is going to be the next chief of the Haply Hall, and her geomantics skills are slowly awakening…"Frank frowned in thought, vaguely realizing then why Mona was such a glutton.-At Zamri Hospital two days later, an elderly man with white sideburns was staring at his daughter worriedly in the ICU."You don't have to worry about the money, Dad," Lydia assured her father, Aaron Kinley, holding his hand and pursing her lips as she held back tears. "I had the l

Claude's voice turned sinisterly cold, and he punched the wall as he chuckled coolly. "You have half an hour, Lydia. If you don't show up at Zamri Hospital, your father and his hospital bed would be thrown out. Just watch!"Beep…Lydia was at once terrified and anxious as Claude hung up on her.If she really did not go to the hospital, Claude might really come good on his threat!Still, just as Lydia rushed to the hospital, Frank was just stepping out of Winter's office.He had come to check up on her, as well as offering her and Abel Loggins some insight on unusual medical cases and atypical illness.Staying holed up at Zamri Hospital had been rewarding for Abel, and he was once again rejoicing that he was right in choosing Frank as his mentor.The man was young, but his knowledge, skill, and experience were far beyond his years.In fact, he was even brazenly asking Frank if he could practice martial arts despite his age.After all, most of the advanced medical skills require
