    Outside, Jada was wearing heat-vision goggles and was relieved to see that no one was left standing, aside from Frank.


    Just as she was to remove the goggles, a green Lamborghini stopped beside her Rolls-Royce.


    Jouri Yelin alighted along with a middle-aged man in a ck suit, who smiled as they walked up to Jada. "You''re quite the beautifuldy, and your taste in fashion especially brings out your strong presence. When were you initiated into Mr. Frankton''s harem?"


    Jada had no idea who he was, but she sneered fearlessly. "As long as Mr. Frankton wills it, I''ll bring him anyone he sets his eyes on-including you." Jouri smiled and ignored the diss while nudging at Frank as he stepped out of the mansion. "There he is."


    "Oh!" The middle-aged man promptly moved on to tter Frank instead. "What a man-looks and strength, all in one package. One expects nothing less of the man chosen by the Shagan spiritron vein."


    Jouri smiled at Frank too. "He never praises anyone. That''s yet another first you''ve imed."


    Frank ignored her and stared at the middle-aged man. "And you are?"


    "Allow me to introduce myself I''m Howl Quaid, Hector Clet''s handler. I apologize for failing my task. I was supposed to meet you in person to directly inform you about our intention to eliminate him, but you beat us to the punch. Please ept our thanks."


    "And you thought words were enough to cover your mistake?" Frank asked coolly.


    "Of course not." Howl smiled. "To make up for our mistake, we will..."


    Before Howl could finish, a light shot toward Frank from the distance.


    He caught it in reflex, and when he spread his palm, he saw that it was a piece of white jade, glowing in a strange red light.


    The ring on Frank''s finger seemed to resonate as it glowed in emerald radiance, and soon, absorbed the red light in its entirety. At the same time, Frank felt a formless energy shooting through his limbs and was left staring at his ring in disbelief. "What''s wrong?" Jada promptly asked in rm.


    They had not met for long, but Frank had always kept a lid on his emotions, though he was clearly reacting to something now! "Get ready!"


    Frank smiled faintly and raised his hand, the myriad colored radiance shrouding Jade right then.


    As the light faded and Jada stared at her palms, she was surprised and delighted as she eximed, "I can feel it... the power!"


    Then, sheunched a punch, the

    Jouri and Howl traded nces. "Mr. Frankton, could you have learned how to wield the power of the Shagan spiritron vein?"


    Frank ignored them and clenched his knuckle, seizing Hector, who had hidden in the distance, and pulled him toward himself.


    Hector was certainly speechless. "What the hell is that rock?!"


    et


    The rock was supposed to be his ace-in-the-hole against Frank, as it could nullify the spiritron vein''s energies. It was supposed to be I a million times more effective than the other jade he used before, but once again, it did not work!


    That was not all either-it even helped Frank control the Shagan spiritron vein!


    "Aren''t you his leader? You can deal with him." Frank scoffed, throwing Hector in front of Howl.


    "Things really wouldn''t have been
