Trevor was watching a haggard Frank with a pained look. "Why don''t you let me drive, Mr. Lawrence?


    You''ve been working hard for days."


    It had been five days since Trevor called Frank to report his findings on the Leaf family of Norsedam.


    And over thest five days, Frank had been busy as he measured every corner of the farm, including


    the hot springs, stables, and orchards.


    He made arrangements to set up ayout resembling a nned town. Then, he had Trevor spend a


    fortune hiring the best architects in Draconia to provide it a grand design.


    At the same time, Frank needed everyone to quickly finish all construction for the resort in a month. For


    that, Trevor hired over a thousand contracts who worked overnight.


    After that, Frank provided Trevor with an inventory of medicinal herbs and asked him to buy everything.


    "Who''s it for?" Trevor asked in curiosity at the time, but Frank simply smiled and said nothing.


    Nheless, Trevor did as told and was soon left watching as he watched Frank refine every herb into


    pills, and then fed said pills to the livestock living across the farm.


    Trevor was certainly bbergasted—he had gone through great lengths to procure all those herbs, but


    it turned out they were not even meant for people?!


    It had been five days since Frank worked on the farm without stopping.


    When it was time to leave, he got in his car, bringing Trevor along as they drove straight to Norsedam.


    ording to Trevor, it took him a long time to investigate the Leaf family because they excelled at


    secrecy... because Bail Leaf, the head of the family, died under mysterious circumstances recently.


    The cause for his death had been controversial—some imed it was vengeful murder, while others


    said it was sudden death.


    None of it mattered to Frank, just as he and Trevor did not go to Norsedam to mourn the man—there


    was no reason to do so when they had never even met the man.


    They were there to attend the small auction hosted by the Leaf family following Bail''s death.


    In life, Bail had been the most enthusiastic collector of antiques and rarities among the east coast''s


    upper ss.


    Now that he was gone, those treasures would only gather dust, and so, Bail''s heirs decided to auction


    some of it.


    And one of the auctioned items was a hundred-year Hyperion Root, thest of the Five Elemental


    Wonders that Frank desperately needed.


    With it, he could fully recover from his internal injuries and regain his peak form again:


    Birthrightconsummation!


    When he did, he would be able to hold his own even against Ascendant rank martial elites.


    -


    Norsedam was just one river away from Riverton, and it was just a three-hour drive.


    As he drove, Frank told Trevor everything about his n for the farm.


    In one month, all the livestock would be cultivated enough, as pills made from herbs and nature''s


    wonders improved them beyond their mortal flesh.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Their very flesh was now ichor and could give even Mystic Sky Sect''s livestocks a run for their money.


    And for the average Joe, the taste and value of such meat would be astounding—even if immortality


    was not possible, it would still prolong a person''s life.


    Moreover, that was only for the livestock—Frank had also recruited acupuncturists from Flora Hall,


    teaching them techniques that could work in tandem with the pills he refined. It would naturally greatly


    improve the visitors'' health.


    As for the hot springs, Frank would be applying his own brew of herbs.
