Chapter 2270
The youth frowned. "When did you become such a coward, Rudy? Are you still really you?"
"Leave!" Rudy snapped, reluctant to speak with him any further.
He wanted the Shagan spiritron vein soon too, but he also knew better than anyone about the true depths of Frank's power. As such, unless he was a hundred percent sure that he could take down Frank, he would not make any moves recklessly. "Fine! Have it your way!" the youth snapped. "Just don't get jealous if I reach it before you do."
"Nothing to be jealous of if you're dead. Now get out!" Rudy barked.
The youth snorted in turn before leaping over the wall, and he left.
Early next morning, Frank had just arrived at the office when Jada placed a photo on his desk, asking, "There's an auction to be held here. Interested?"
Frank glanced to see that there would be a painting to be auctioned. "Ask Sylvie. Buy anything she fancies."
Jada shook her head. "This is not your ordinary artifact. According to the brochure, it just happened to be the year when the tomb was built. And look!"
Looking where Jada pointed, Frank could see that while it was a typical scenery painting, Frank noticed that a patch which should have been left blank seemed to have another painting under it!
Seeing his realization, Jada nodded. "We know that the painting was taken from that tomb which was fashioned into a hideout. Which begs the question... why leave the other treasures in there and only take that painting?"
Frank raised a brow. "You're saying that it might have something to do with the spiritron vein? Well, I just happen to be free, so let's check it out!"
They arrived at the auction hall,
where all the auctioned items were displayed in an exhibit before the actual auction. It would both make good publicity and allow serious customers to find out if the item was genuine before buying. Content. belongs to
Standing before the painting, Frank could see that there really was a layer beneath. And enhanced by the spiritron vein, Frank could use x-ray sight at will, but he just could not see the layer underneath that painting.

Glancing at the ring, he realized that he was right to come he must obtain that painting!
"Oh, if it isn't Mr. Frankton!"
A sharply dressed middle-aged man approached Frank. "You should be busy with work after the acquisition of Jaric Group, so what are you doing here instead? Also, that painting may be old, but it's

and the artist isn't that well-known, so it's worth a few hundred grand at best. Surely you wouldn't be
interested?"
Jada scowled at him right then and snapped coolly, "Getting too arrogant for your own good, Uran Wal? Not afraid that I'd bury you?" Uran might be rich and well-connected, but he did not hold a candle to Frank. As such, Jada was especially furious that he came up to diss Frank.
Nheless, Uran laughed, and puffed his chest smugly. "Oh, haven't you heard, Ms. Turin? I'm engaged to the daughter of Nolan Quill, who owns Quilldom Inc.!"
"So what?" Jada snapped coolly. "Never mess with a bear in its den. If you do, it'd be too late when you finally realize who you're messing with."
Uran was unsure how to react to that.
It was true that Frank was so mysterious that he took everything the Jarics had overnight, as well as allying himself closely with the Ingrams. But while that solidified him as a legendary figure in Shagan, was that really all that impressive?
Uran was with the Quills, and their influence in business stretched across over a hundred countries! Frank was simply insignificant!noveldrama
As such, he did not hesitate to threaten them. "I'll give it to you straight. Whether you cooperate or not, I'll come for you once I make it big!"
