Frank nodded. "That's right. Take me home." "Sure."

Shanton was Sue's turf after all, so how could she let her guest leave without hospitality? People would laugh at her for that!

"Why don't you wait a couple of days before you go?" Sue asked tentatively.

Frank shook his head. "Nah. Maybe some other time."

Sue had no choice but to take Frank in her Lamborghini, and they were once again at that service area half an hour later.

As Sue parked and alighted, ready to get some champagne from the supermarket, she bumped into a face she did not want to see.

lan Laney leaned against his GTR, smoking as he dissed her. "If it isn't Ms. Fisher. It's only been a couple of hours, but you look terrible."

"Keep barking."

Sue had no intention to play his games and was going to turn and leave when he cut her off.

"Don't just run away!" He chuckled. "Forgive me for asking, but why are you leaving Shanton in such a hurry? Wait, don't tell me that you're transporting Lugh Frankton's ashes?"

Sue smirked. "Sorry to disappoint you, but the experiment was a success. Lugh has now gained regenerative abilities and perhaps immortality. Your career in medicine might soon go up in smoke!" "Come on, Ms. Fisher!"noveldrama

lan smiled in wry amusement. "The world could end tomorrow, but your boy still wouldn't gain regenerative abilities, let alone immortality! You don't even understand why humans age and die, and you'd still keep barking madly!"

"What was that?!"

Furious, Sue kicked him in the groin, catching him off guard.

However, lan dropped to his knees

and gritted his teeth for just a moment. But instead of getting

upset, he laughed maniacally. "Ohet

just give up already! You can kill me, but your experiment failed and that's a fact! And I know for a fact that Lugh's lackeys are no angels. They're going to make you pay!"

Just as he finished, the passenger door of the Lamborghini opened and Frank alighted. "Is that so?" "H-How are you still alive?!" lan exclaimed.

He was certainly unlucky-the

bigwigs who were watching the experiment, tacitly agreed not to tell him. In reality, they would have told him, but considering that he had just made an enemy of Sue, they refused to catch that heat.

As such, lan did not even know that Frank was alive!

At the same time, Frank shrugged. "What? Aren't you a doctor who would hope that humankind

transcends death to reach true immortality? Or would you rather that I be dead?"

lan hung his head in silence.

No, that was impossible!

Even if Frank was alive, that still did not mean the experiment was a success lan refused to believe that the likes of Igor Leitner would overcome the greatest hurdle in medicine!

"I don't believe you, unless you prove that you can regenerate!" he yelled at Frank.

Frank, however, shrugged and moved toward his car. "I don't have the time to waste on someone like you. Go live in your pathetic fantasy."

Seeing the chance right then, lan picked up a pebble and launched it at Frank.

Frank could have dodged it even without the spiritron vein's help, but lan had infuriated him.

He hence stood and allowed the pebble to cut through his left cheek.

It drew a little blood, but the cut was soon healing visibly, with Frank's blood returning inside his body and leaving lan speechless.
