NovelEnglishMeanwhile, at the Pearce Group headquarters in Morhen, Gene Pearce was seated at the main chair with a cigarette between his lips, listening as his executives argued in the meeting.
While he kept a straight face, frustration was flaring within him-the only thing these pieces of trash ever did was shift blame, putting their self-gain above all else.
He was actually wondering if he should just tell them to fuck off while he hired new blood.
Still, even as the thought crossed his mind, his phone rang, and the conference room turned quiet instantly.

Gene cheered up right away, as he had to admit that Frank's Jade Marrow Pill was incredibly effective.
And with the hot springs at Frank's Riverton farm resort, he felt younger and brimming with energy-even his new girlfriend could not keep up with him.
He was even wondering if he should get another couple more to produce sheirs, something which he would never dare imagine just two months ago.
"Hey brother. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Gene remained seated as he answered Frank's call cheerfully.
"Do you know where Rory Thames went?" Frank asked right then.
The question left Gene frowning ufortably in turn, "Why would you ask about that woman?" He might have groomed Rory to success, but all he felt toward her now was endless disgust, and he would have her dealt with if he was not that sentimental.
"It seems that she has jumped ship to the Lionhearts and is sending them after me," Frank replied.

Anyone could see how highly Gene thought of Frank, and he felt regret allowing his ex-wife to inflict such devastating losses to Frank.

As for Rory Thames..." en.kikistories swn "Don't worry. She broke the rules-I don't care even if she gets killed." Gene chuckled coolly.
To think that woman would cause trouble behind his back despite his warning.
Gene could turn a blind eye to her sucking up to the Lionhearts, only for her to break their promise ande after Frank.
That was entirely on her being suicidal.
"Alright. That's what I wanted to hear," Frank said, hanging up with satisfaction.
Gene remained silent for a while but eventually slammed his hand on the table again.
"Fuck, I won't take this lying down! Call Frank again—I'm getting involved too!"
