Sally continued, "Then, by sheer coincidence, I also found that tomb under that barren ground and gathered svaluable information through the ring." "The part that was vandalized?" Frank asked.
Sally nodded. "I guess you've been there too! That said, I wouldn't know anymore than you do-I only vandalized a small portion, while the rest were vandalized centuries ago.

Since then, I devoted all my efforts into studying the ring, while also gaining the financial backing of that geezer you murdered. His nwas Machi Godot, by the way-rich, but the jobless type.
"Anyway, we uncovered a method to create new superhumans through experimenting. We managed to circumvent the limitations of the new energy we were harnessing, so that sof the superhumans could even leave this region to a certain distance... But we ran into a problem anyway." "What was it?" Frank quickly asked.
Sally shrugged. "Machi wasn't compatible with the energy, and his body was shutting down instead of healing. But by sheer luck, we managed to save him by returning the ring to the cave.
"As such, we concluded that even if we could harness the energy through science, the ring does not acknowledge us and will punish us for it... It's a metaphysical perspective, but it is what it is." Frank realized with a start-it was not as if Machi Godot had been holding back, but he simply did not have the power to go on an offensive.
"So, you're saying that the ring chose me?" he asked Sally.
Sally nodded. "By a stroke of luck, my mom noticed it and senta video of you wearing it a while ago. She did add that she wasn't sure if it was yours..." "And you have set your sights onsince then!" Frank nodded in understanding.

Frank chuckled. "I'm no one's bitch." е Sally pursed her lips, not in the mood to joke. "I can help you restore the ring's energy—it's your destiny, and you must see it through, or the spiritron vein would kill you! Content belongs to en.kikistories"Really?" Frank raised a brow. "Judging from what you say, I've fallen for a trap?" Sally nodded. "Do you understand why Machi would attack the elites of Draconia even those from the rest of the world? He meant to eliminate every person who had a date with destiny, but you managed to escape him." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesUMS "And weren't you supposed to be on his side?" Frank asked, bemused.
Sally chuckled. "Why would I be? I'm only working with him because I didn't have money and needer ne financial support. Don't you believe me?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesswn "Well, I can't say I trust you." Frank shrugged. "But with my strength, I won't allow betrayal to go unanswered!" Sally would have dismissed Frank's threat as a joke if anyone else had said it... but she felt a chill down her spine when Frank said it.
"How envious, a man of destiny..." She sighed. "Con. I'll remove the spiritron vein's hold on you!" Frank did not move because he still had no idea if Sally was really helping him.
She clearly knew more but was not giving up everything either-Frank would lose more than what he bargained for in case there was a catch.
Still, Sally seemed to read his mind and smiled. "You don't have to believe me, but you have to believe that ring on your finger!" "This? The spiritron vein?" Frank took it off and held it out to her.
