Chapter 2119

Frank could tell right then that Jason must have done something unusual to confirm if the box of bone ashes was truly a box of bone ashes. "You can't be blamed," he assured Jason. "People always think for themselves." Jason nodded. "Well, it's weird now that we talk about it… but ever since I had a taste, I feel like I have endless energy. It's like I mutated!" It was a joke, but Frank did not laugh, as he remembered what Jason said. If he was telling the truth, the whole situation was fishy—Frank certainly would not believe that Jason's mentor would treat a youth he never met with such respect for no real reason. "Alright, just take care and rest well," Frank told him. "I have something I need to do, so I'll be on leave for a few days." "Oh, sure!" Jason nodded. "Just do what you need to do, and you can even leave without asking—you'll be paid anyway! That said, I'm just worried if you're going alone, so have Lara tag along." "There's no need for that!" Frank shook his head.
