Seeing Aria blinking her twinkling eyes at Burt, Frank waved her off. “I need to speak with OfficerYorkman here in private. You should leave for the night.”

"Okay." Aria pouted, reluctant but not stupid.

The men were clearly going to talk shop, and interfering would only earn Frank's displeasure.

As such, she had to leave The Dynasty, feeling dissatisfied.

Even as she tugged on her handbag and stepped out, she was cursing Winter under her breath,"Oh, Winter, you minx!"

Winter had never told her Frank was so impressive that Riverton's top law enforcement officerwould suck up to him.

What, was Winter afraid she would jump him?

Naturally, Aria misblamed Winter.

Even Winter was not aware that Frank commanded so much respect, believing that Frank was onlybacked by the Turnbulls as an executive working under Vicky and receiving her favor.

Impressive, sure, but not at the level of having a law enforcement officer serve at his beck and call.Still, Aria was dissatisfied about missing such a golden opportunity.

Glancing at the Maybach parked beside the road, an idea took root in her mind.

Meanwhile, Burt drank several bottles with Frank and started to get tipsy as well.

Still, he was strong enough to withstand the alcohol without using his vigor to burn it off.

"Mr. Zurich called me, saying you're in a bad mood," he said. "He told me to come drink with you.""Oh, Trevor... Hmph. He always meddles.” Frank huffed as he took another sip from his bottle.Musing to himself for a while, he then asked Burt, "What's your level at present?"

"I've fully mastered vigor," Burt said and sighed upon being reminded of his rank. "I've remainedstuck there for the longest time, with no way of reaching Birthright rank. Sage Lake Sect treats melike their dog, refusing to teach me any of their martial discipline.”

"But you know what's worse? When I found a century-year old Goldeater Cane a few years ago, Iwas about to refine it when someone leaked the news, and Sage Lake Sect took it!"

Burt rambled on, fueled by alcoholic rage. "I found the Elemental Wonder myself, using all myresources, but Sage Lake Sect simply told me that I didn't need it and took it!"

Bang!

He slammed his fist on the table with rage.

"A Goldeater Cane?"

Frank was surprised to hear that name, since it was the gold Elemental Wonder.

Before this, he had already used various methods to gather the fire, water, and earth ElementalWonders. Now, he just needed the gold and wood Elemental Wonders to recover his peak form.However, he was disappointed since it had been years ago, and Sage Lake Sect would surely haverefined the Goldeater Cane into pills by now.

Still, Burt was surprised by Frank's unusual reaction to his mention of the Goldeater Cane.

"Could you be interested in the Goldeater Cane too, Mr. Lawrence?"

"Yes," Frank admitted. "I was wounded back when I fled Mystic Sky Sect and my condition stilllingers. I need all five Elemental Wonders to recover.”

Burt nodded. "In that case, I have an idea."

"You have an idea?" Frank cheered up right then, almost forgetting that the top law enforcementofficer of Riverton would definitely have his connections. "Are you able to replace other ElementalWonders?"

"No, that's not what I mean." Burt shook his head. "Elemental Wonders are so rare that even years ofsearching only landed me a small shoot of the Goldeater Cane.”
