Chatper 529

Frank was bemused even as he strode into the guest room, where Kim was already waiting with Liv

Dawson.

Kim appeared especially ethereal with her long, wavy dark hair and white dress, and she was on her

feet as soon as she saw Frank. "Mr. Lawrence."

"How have you been? Have you made a full recovery?" Frank asked politely in turn.

"Yes, all thanks to you, Mr. Lawrence," she replied.

"Yeah." Frank nodded, feeling like he had just wasted his breath—he knew Kim's condition better than

Kim herself would.

Not only did he treat her internal injuries, but he also cleared up his meridians so that she would be

twice more efficient in cultivation.

Aria, who entered the guest room as well, glanced at Frank in surprise, not expecting him to know

medicine.

Still, her attention was quickly drawn to Kim's guileless divine beauty.

Though Kim's poise was affected by her injury before, she had recovered and regained her charm

befitting a goddess.

She would not lose out to Vicky or Helen, and a single glance already left Aria's inferiority complex

flaring.

"Please try this tea. I personally grew it and brewed it," Kim said as she served him a cup.

Frank took a sip and could not help exclaiming in praise, "This tea is fantastic!"

Aria was then surprised as Kim served her one as well.

She was hardly well-versed in tea appreciation and simply nodded in approval as Frank did. "It's great."

"Why wouldn't it be?" Liv suddenly snorted, rolling her eyes. "Ever since Mr. Lawrence left the other

day, our dear Ms. White had been either tending meticulously to her tea or smiling stupidly as she

stared blankly into thin air, waiting for your next visit."

"Stop it, Liv!" Kim blushed as she shot Liv an embarrassed glare.

"Let's put the tea talk aside for now," Frank said, reluctant to let the ladies digress. "I'll be blunt, Ms.

White. I've come here today because your father mentioned you have news about the Goldeater

Cane."

"Skipping the foreplay already?" Liv snorted sarcastically. "We've asked for you because we're about to

drop a bombshell on you, or you'd still be lying on your back wondering what hit you."

Kim threw her a soft jab and snapped, "What are you saying? I just wanted to clear up a

misunderstanding..." "Sure, sure. Like you're perfectly pleased to see him being stolen away. And

weren't you so pleased about going free after the Yaffes vanished?"

"Sure, sure, I'm so pleased. Now, zip it."

Kim had been preparing meticulously to leave a good impression with Frank, but Liv's persistent jibes

to embarrass her left her exasperated.

In the end, Liv still held Frank in contempt since he had neither riches nor influence compared to the

Yaffes.

Nonetheless, Kim felt the urgentness in Frank's tone.

After some thought, she explained, "My family is not actually involved in medicine, but we were told

yesterday that an elusive dojo started an open recruitment. And the recruit who wins top place in the

recruitment tourney would be awarded the Goldeater Cane."

"An elusive dojo.?" Frank appeared surprised.

Kim nodded. "It's called Silver Spring Dojo, founded on the hills of Southstream. It wasn't particularly

famous."

"Oh, so that's the trap that Sage Lake Sect set for me?" Frank chuckled coolly.novelbin
