Galen was holding his son’s corpse even as he bawled–losing a son at his age was too much to bear!
The other members of the Yaffe family could certainly empathize, just as Jan mmed his hand on the
table and bellowed in rage, “Frank Lawrence again?! He’s gone too far! He stole the Earthen

Dragonheart from my father, and now he killed my cousin! We must retaliate!”
Everyone else was nodding with righteous indignation too, as Galen more than painted Frank as a vile
criminal.
At the same time, Galen had scrambled to his brother Kuno, hugging his leg as he howled, Please,
Kuno… My cultivation was crippled, and my son died so horribly! You have to avenge us!”
Kuno was seated on the main chair, his eyes narrowed and his thoughts unfathomable.
“There’s no need to hesitate, Dad,” Jan told him. “Let’s just kill Frank already.”
Kuno shot him a re and asked icily, “And who’s going to do that? You? You can see that he’s as
powerful as he is well–connected. You probably don’t know about his background, do you?”
The fact that Frank could cripple Galen’s cultivation already made him more than formidable… but they
had never even heard of Frank’s background or anything else!
“His background? What background?” Jan asked in confusion.
“He isn’t just friends with Dan Zimmer and Trevor Zurich,” Kuno said slowly. “He has ties with the
Turnbulls too–he was there when the Turnbulls‘ Rejuvenation Pill hit the market recently. He’s even
said to be the key to their sessful development of the pill.‘
Everyone gasped at that, surprised that Frank actually had ties with the Turnbulls
The head of the family was certainly prudent!
“The Turnbulls? The family with ties in the capital?” Jan eximed, but he soon argued, “So what?
What Frank did was criminal, and he’s not one of them either–they aren’t going to go to war for him
over that, are they?”
“Well, I don’t know what their stance is for now,” Kuno admitted.
Galen quickly pressed, “Don’t we have other ways to get back at him? Is there no way to avenge my
son?”
“Yes–we just have toe up with a way to keep the Turnbulls out of this,” Kuno said calmly, his eyes
shing confidently. “Without them, dealing with Frank would be easy. I’ll see to it personally as well…
in three days, I’ll offer his head to Seth’s grave!”
Galen was delighted at those words.
His brother had always been omnipotent–if he said this would work, then it would!
As the rest of the family dispersed, Jan stayed behind, curious as to what ns his father had in mind
to deal with Frank.
“What are you going to do, Dad?”

“You’re hosting a banquet in a couple days, aren’t you?” Kuno asked.
Jan quickly nodded. “Yeah, most of the heirs and heiresses in Riverton are invited–I mostly wanted to
introduce them to Kim.”
Kuno smiled. “And you’ve invited Vicky Turnbull too?”
“Of course.”
“Well, that’s settled.” Kuno’s eyes shed viciously. “I heard that Vicky is very close with Frank–she’d
definitely bring him along. It’s a banquet, so they probably wouldn’t bring their bodyguards. They would
all be in our turf, and we will first trick Vicky to get disappointed with Frank… After that, we can do
anything we want with him.”
As father and son discussed their ns in detail, Jan grew increasingly excited–he could not wait for
Frank to die sooner!
