Sally did not take the ring and instead took off her jacket, baring her left shoulder.
Although Frank was afforded a glimpse, he had no intention of ogling-instead, he was staring at the tattoo of a dragon head on Sally's shoulder.
"It's a terrible curse!" she exclaimed. "EverytI felt sick and went to the hospital to check, every type of terminal symptom seemed to happen all at once-tumor growth, organ failure, everything! "Worst of all, by the next visit, all the old symptoms will be gone, replaced by new symptoms!" Frank understood right then. "So you're suggesting that the spiritron vein is torturing you to death!" Sally flashed a pained smile, nodding. "That's why I have to help you if I don't want that, not to mention that it helps my research. It doesn't matter if you doubt me—I'm already on death's door!" Frank naturally believed her-how else would a farmgirl suddenly turn into the kingpin of Shagan, doing anything she liked? Nonetheless, Sally led Frank to the wooden table, took the ring on it, and turned a dial.
A holographic keyboard was projected, and Sally typed something before pressing enter.

Frank and Sally promptly chased after it and found the ring hovering in front of the men that Frank had just killed, shrouding them in a strange red light.
Green fluid soon oozed out of their orifices toward the ring, leaving Sally gaping in shock.
She sniffed in self-deprecation. "I really shouldn't have done that if I knew this would happen!" On the other hand, the ring returned to Frank's palm after absorbing the energies.
"How does it feel?" Sally quickly asked.
Frank shook his head-he did not feel anything.
Sally shrugged. "Well, I guess my hypothesis is right. The ring must absorb all the energies it had granted in the past to be fully restored, once again creating an entity of unparalleled might-like the hero in that tomb!" Frank raised a brow. "You mean to say that there are more people who have been granted its power?" Sally nodded. "These people are just a tip of the iceberg. Hell, even the death of all martial prodigies across the whole world might not be enough... Now, cwith me." They left the factory, with Sally getting in the driver seat of Jason's Range Rover as she took Frank to a nearby hill.
There was a large cluster of buildings on the southern side of the hill, which was at once luxurious and majestic-even Frank was impressed by the money these people had. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesThey then alighted, and Sally led Frank to the main villa that stood halfway up the mountain.
There was a large flower paup front, and they had to walk through a cobblestone path to reach the front doors.
In the drawing room, an aquarium that was over sixty feet tall stood behind the exceedingly long couch, housing sharks and various other sea creatures. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSally then beckoned at Frank to sit, pouring him a glass of tea while she made herself coffee.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she took a sip, she said, "Wait here. I'll contact you again when everyone's here." Frank nodded and said nothing, while Sally left.
Soon, two tall beauties entered, and he realized with a start that they were Alda Ingram and Sylvie Wal! "What are you doing here?" Frank asked, puzzled.
Alda flashed a pained smile. "I was here when I woke up." "Same!" Sylvie exclaimed.
Frank immediately realized that Sally had planned all this-even if they were far and Frank was busy fighting, he had heard Sally's musings. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesShe had a two-pronged plan, as she intended to either kill him or keep him here.
That was why she had the two ladies abducted and brought here.
He really must be wary of that woman! "So, have you missed me, kid?" Sylvie smiled cheerfully as she sat down beside him.
She had nothing to do anyway with her phone confiscated. And with Frank here, she could just treat this as a holiday. "You're not leaving?" Frank was not sure if he should laugh or cry, seeing that Sylvie was staying put.
