Meanwhile, at the Pearce Group headquarters in Morhen, Gene Pearce was seated at the main chair with a cigarette between his lips, listening as his executives argued in the meeting.While he kept a straight face, frustration was flaring within him—the only thing these pieces of trash ever did was shift blame, putting their self-gain above all else.He was actually wondering if he should just tell them to fuck off while he hired new blood.Still, even as the thought crossed his mind, his phone rang, and the conference room turned quiet instantly."It's Mr. Lawrence, sir," his assistant said as she handed his phone over respectfully.Gene cheered up right away, as he had to admit that Frank's Jade Marrow Pill was incredibly effective.And with the hot springs at Frank's Riverton farm resort, he felt younger and brimming with energy—even his new girlfriend could not keep up with him.He was even wondering if he should get another couple more to produce some heirs, something which h

"I'm your subordinate?"Noel turned and frowned at Sil. "What's going on here, Mr. Lionheart? I don't remember such a clause in our agreement."Sil stayed silent, as he was caught in a dilemma.Rory giggled in turn, shaking her head. "You're so naive, Noel. Did you think the Lionhearts were really taking you in for your skills or your reputation? They wouldn't bother if not for me… Oh, and we weren't lying, it's just that I'm the head of Lionheart Entertainment.""So, you're going to do everything to tell you from now on, including whatever projects I assign you.""Wait."Noel held up a hand, frowning. "You're overstepping, Rory, and I don't remember ever insulting you. Why are you so bent on hurting me, even spending five billion dollars to poach me from Lanecorp?""Tut, tut…"Rory stood, folding her arms before her chest as she clicked her tongue. "Important people are really forgetful, huh? Do you think you'd be Draconia's top actress if you didn't seduce the judges?"With

Could Kat be the spiritron vein?!While Noel was shocked and confused on how Kat might be the spiritron vein, it was clear that the Lionhearts really wanted the spiritron vein.In fact, even Sil's objective in helping Rory was clear—they wanted the spiritron vein Frank had!And having understood, Noel composed herself.Instead of looking thoughtful, she asked Sil blankly, "Mr. Lionheart… What is the spiritron vein, really?'"It's…"Sil would rather not answer, but seeing that she was confused, he shrugged and explained, "It's Draconia's destiny manifested. The one who gathers all eight spiritron veins will become the Dragon King, which is how the name Draconia came to be. It has always been the birthright of us Lionhearts, see? All we're doing is retrieving what's rightfully ours."Even as Sil spoke, his eyes were fixed on Noel's face, intent on catching any twitch or unusual reactions.However, he was left disappointed soon enough, as Noel had really earned her title as Dracon

Rory was laughing at herself too, as she was biding her time for her revenge, sending the Lionhearts after Frank and Noel… only for things to end up like this.Even Sil, who bragged endlessly about his own strength, could not fight back as Gene's men tossed him on the floor like a rag dollWhat Rory did not know, however, was that as the vice-chief of Volsung Sect's Caudal Hall, Sil was a really formidable individual—it was just that he really fell short compared to Frank.It was also Sil's fault for being so arrogant he did not bring anyone else for the meeting with Noel. That allowed Frank to catch him off guard easily, spiking him with a drug that would be triggered when Sil used his pure vigor.While Sil could use his will and pure vigor to curb the effects early on, the drug would slowly spread throughout Sil's body until he lost all rationality to lust.Then, once he ejaculated, he would expire on the spot.Frank was certainly not holding back when Sil would pull such a dir

"Oh!"Helen flushed, finally remembering that Noel was in the room too.She quickly got up and caught Noel. "Ms. York… Could you join us too? There might be a performance session, and you could do a song number or something…"Helen soon trailed off, blushing as she realized that her request was ridiculous.Given Noel's status, she would charge millions for a single number at a wedding.But since it felt a little strange to pay Noel for something like that, Helen felt embarrassed to have asked at all."Oh…"Noel felt awkward too, since it was not a question of money.She would never turn down Helen's request, but it felt strange singing at the wedding of somebody she did not know.That was when Frank yawned, folding his arms before his chest as he flashed a vague smile at Noel. "Ms. York, you can have the five billion we got from Rory Thames. Would that be enough for a performance?""Eh?" Noel did a double take, seriously enticed just then.Five billion was no small number
