Vicky frowned in turn. "Not even Helen or the other girls? I''m really worried that they''d do something stupid..." "Not even them!" Frank shook his head. "It''s cold, but their genuine grief is the best cover I could ask for!
"Also, I have you. Just keep them in line for the time being-I''m sure nothing terrible woulde out of this." Vicky nodded.
Hence, in that same afternoon, a bombshell was dropped, leaving stunned the Martial Alliance and every group across the nation that had any dealings with Frank.
There were as many who mourned as those who celebrated-it went without seeing how delighted the Lionhearts, Josh Dellon, and Frank''s other enemies were!
Finally, the biggest obstacle they had was now punished ordingly!
At the same time, they were also curious as to who had so easily surpassed them, killing the man who always seemed to refuse to die.
In contrast, Mystic Sky Guild, Helen, and the rest of Frank''s close friends were all as shocked as they were torn.
They certainly did not expect the ever peerless Frank Lawrence would be overwhelmed under such shocking circumstances, dying before anyone realized it.
Naturally, the shrewder ones like Trevor Zurich had the experience to determine that the story sounded too fishy to be true.
Either way, the news of Frank''s death was considered highly believable, which was exactly what Frank intended.
Hanging up on Vicky, Frank continued toward Lipton Hill, which was now within sight.
It was not particrly tall, at a little over a few hundred feet above sea level.
However, it was lush with vegetation-a stark contrast from the barren valleys of the north.
Still, instead of climbing Lipton Hill, Frank headed straight toward the vige at the foot called Chandlerton.
Far from the city, it was quieter and
filled with the scent of farnd
spices, though Frank was just a
couple of steps in when a
e
naive-looking girl approached him.

"Hello. Where are you from? I''ve never seen you before," she said, looking at his handsome face sideways.
Frank took out a couple candies
from his pocket. "Hello, kiddo. Do you know where the vige chief lives? I''m from out of town, and I was thinking about getting a plot ofnd to farm!"
He had done his homework beforehand and wanted to pass off as a farmer to stay in hiding.
"I''ll take you there!"
The girl was grinning happily, and she led Frank all the way to a mansion in the east.
Frank was left smiling in wry amusement-the times were really better now, and even farming viges were richer than before. "Thank you!"
The girl happily left after Frank gave her the promised candies, and Frank knocked on the door.
Someone was immediately snapping inside, "Who is it?! Stay home and eat your damn lunch instead of freeloading off me!"
Then, a woman who looked like your stereotypical farmer''s wife opened the door, her scowl turning instantly into a smile when she saw Frank.
"Oh, hello there... Are you looking for someone?" she asked, encountering someone with Frank''s face for the first time.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Hello! l-I''m Lugh Frankton! I''m looking for the vige chief!" Frank said, hastilying up with a name.
"Oh! I''m Whitney Chandler, the vige chief! Come on in!" the woman eximed, ushering him inside.
Frank was a little surprised that the chief was a woman, as Whitney beckoned him to sit on the couch and poured him a ss of tea. "Sorry, don''t have anything better since this vige is way out in the boonies. Please don''t mind it!"
Still, Frank took a sip and found that the tea tasted just fine-it was even high-grade peppermint!
But that was not all that surprising, as Frank had spotted a courier point when he arrived.
The woman must have bought it online, with how well-developed courier systems were now.
"Madam Chandler, I was thinking about rentingnd where I could farm. Are there any free plots at the moment?" Frank asked, conveying his intentions just then.
