After all, Helen and Frank were undoubtedly the two people Fleur did not want to see at this very moment.However, Frank did not seem to care, walking up to pick an apple from the bedside table and biting a chunk as he chuckled. "Hehe… I know what you're waiting for, Fleur Lang."Fleur could not say a word aside from glaring at him, as if it might kill him—it was a pity for her that she did not have such power.Unperturbed, Frank continued, "You sent Jon Lane to get your pills, didn't you?"Fleur's whole body flinched, clearly giving her away right then.Frank sat on the edge of her bed in turn, smiling. "In that case, I will be frank—the pills Jon was supposed to fetch are beyond your reach… because I've killed the courier."Beep! Beep! Beep!Every piece of machinery began to beep all at once, indicating Fleur's agitation and rage."But…"That was when Frank's tone changed, and he produced two pill bottles out of his pocket, waving them in front of Fleur. "They're right here.

Both nurses were left exasperated as Fleur yelled maniacally. "Please stop already, ma'am… Oh, and our hospital chief is actually Professor Lawrence's younger sister, so you should just stay here and rest."With those words, both nurses left with looks of sympathy, one of them sighing. "Professor Lane said that she would suffer hallucinations too… Could that be true?"Before the other nurse could answer, Fleur started shrieking hysterically, "Let me go! I'm the second matriarch of the Lane family! Release me, or I will make you pay!""Oh, give it a rest already. Professor Lawrence is divine—see? This woman is hallucinating as he said.""Shush. Just ignore her."Fleur could hear the two nurses heading off into the distance and continued to yell even as she was tied to a bed. "Frank Lawrence!!! I'll make you pay!!!"-"Achoo!"Frank, Helen, and Gina had just finished the paperwork for the shares transfer without a hitch and had just gotten into their car when Frank sneezed viol

One could even say that while Gavin was supposed to be the head of the family, he conceded it to Helen.That was not just because of Helen's personal abilities, but because Helen had a character with her who could bring the family to new heights.And the truth was undeniable—just months after Helen took over both as head of the family and became the chairwoman of Lanecorp, both the family and the company were improving from the inside out.In fact, they seemed to find a motivation to do better like never before, and Mark Lane was personally approving of Helen's strength.But despite improving like clockwork, Yora suddenly came throwing accusations, and Mark had to fall sick at this time.And worst of all, his condition was serious, and he never regained consciousness despite retaining stable vitals.Now, Gavin had to suspect that someone had a hand in his father's illness—to seize power.Naturally, his chief suspect was Fleur. After all, as Mark's second wife, she was most displ

Judging from its name alone, Fettle Clinic was an unassuming place.As such, Frank was not surprised to find the clinic in a remote corner of the suburbs, just past the fringes of Lake Cove.It was evening, but every door and window of the clinic was shut, as if closed for businesses.Still, Frank's sharp hearing could pick up the voices inside.He was alone, and it was a familiar face at that—it was Hardy Xinder!Narrowing his eyes, Frank leapt agilely up to the second floor and slipped inside from a venting window.Hardy, whose hair was now completely white, was sitting by a desk and asking into the antique rotary phone, "Hey, what's going on here? You're saying that there have been problems in Zamri, but what am I doing here?" "What? A trap? What the hell are you talking about?!"Hardy sounded clearly impatient and was even holding the phone as he paced around. "Damn it, Yaga—so what are you playing at?! Shouldn't the Lane family be going after Frank Lawrence's head by now?

"It's been a while… Surely he'd be withered down to bones no matter how strong he is? Not even a peak Ascendant rank individual could withstand the rotting gas I've concocted from a thousand decomposing bodies."Naturally, the diminutive figure was none other than Baba Yaga.Even as she mused to herself, her expression was careful as she circled the clinic repeatedly.Eventually, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard nothing."I guess he's really done." She laughed coolly. "They all say that Frank's power is unmatched, but he fell just like the rest before my poison! Guess I should report this to Hundred Bane Sect… Hmph! It seems like Titus Lionheart owes us a favor now.""That reminds me… I should search the body for a spiritron vein, since he might carry it with him…"Letting down her guard just then, she opened the doors of the clinic, ready to search Frank's corpse.However, an arm suddenly shot out from the clinic amid the silent night, seizing Baba Yaga by the neck!
