"Uh-huh," Frank nodded at the two girls before looking up at the bigwigs onstage with a faint smile.

The entire hall froze at his words, with Jean and Winter gaping in shock.
What was that supposed to mean? Did Frank know them... or was he just pretending? But pretending to be their acquaintances... Was he not overreaching just to look good?! Nearby, Bill was still sneering, but he was frozen stiff like a statue as a foreboding sensation chewed him in the gut.
Could those bigwigs have really cunder the manwhore's invitation? That was impossible! What gave him the right?! Naturally, his last hopes that it was not true was soon crushed, as the ever stoic Riverton senator Gerald Simmons smiled and stood up, nodding at Frank. "Long tno see, Mr. Lawrence. You look as sharp as ever!" "What?!" Gerald's greeting left everyone in the hall turning toward Frank, staring in disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA senator was actually that respectful to their professor... even almost showing deference?! Who on earth was he?! "Frank, what..." Even before Frank and the other students cto their senses, Commissioner Robert Quill also stood up and smiled. "You look vibrant as ever. I heard over the grapevine that you've caused quite the stir in Morhen, and it's humbling that you would still remember little Riverton." "What?!" The students were left staring at Frank again, their mouths gaping so wide it could fit an apple.
It was not entirely their fault either. Riverton was actually secluded, and Riverton University was about the only thing they had going for them.
Naturally, a place like Morhen could well be the promised land for them, and they were even more thrilled to hear that Frank had caused a stir there.
Their Professor Lawrence was certainly more than what they gave him credit for! Tim Yates, chief of the Riverton commerce guild, also nodded and .ne' smiled at Frank. "Haha! I must thank you for your farm resort, Mr. Lawrence. It has now beclocal heritage site, with so many people traveling to Riverton for it. You have certainly done us a great service!" "What?! Frank had a hand in Lane Holdings' farm resort too?!" The bombshell left the students stiff as statues, since they had been to the farm resort themselves on a field trip.
However, it cost them a fortune just to get a tiny bottle of the bathwater from the farm resort for research purposes... but it turned out that the owner was here all along! That was not all either, as Kim White leveled Frank an accusing look and snorted. "You never cto visitafter so long, leavingall by myself to clean up the messin my family. You're such a..." Bastard.
For sreason, everyone thought that word, just as they were once again shocked by Professor Lawrence's enormous influence... and history with women! "Tut, tut, Mr. Lawrence. You're so..." Noel York sighed, shaking her head-obviously, even the top actress of Draconia knew Frank!
