"Isn't it too late?!" Peter kept ranting. "We're both going to die here!""That might not be the case." Frank chuckled coolly.With his Transcendent rank physique, he would not even fear a missile, let alone a bomb.That was why he was calm, even intent on testing whether Peter had the resolve to be true to his word.Lifting him by the collar with one hand, Frank brought him to the broken glass, asking, "Tell me, Peter—are you afraid?""What?! Of course I am!" Peter shrieked, since Frank looked like he was ready to throw him off the building.Frank continued, "Then do you want revenge against the man who treated you like a dog?!""Of course! Even in my dreams!"Peter bellowed, clenching his knuckles. "It's those brothers who set me up and made me like this! My life would mean something if I could kill Kit Jameson!""Alright, you said it!" Frank laughed and kicked Peter out of the fortyish floor."Wooooahhh!!! Fuck!!! Frank Lawrence—!!!!" Peter screamed hysterically even as
Terry and his boys quickly knocked several men to their feet.Curiously, they were not hostile—instead, they were intent on fleeing, as if the devil himself was on their heels."Stop!" Terry barked at his boys. "What the hell is going on here…?!"He looked at the people in confusion—they were all from the Bleeders or Zomber Group.For some reason, they were not rallying for a fight, despite Terry and his boys showing up. Instead, they were fleeing for their lives!"Bro, maybe your Haki scared them off?" one of his men flattered."Shut up!" Terry snapped angrily and glanced at a square in the distance. "They were fleeing the building… if they were scared, they should be running in all directions. But they are all heading in a single direction—they had clearly planned this!""Well, what should we do? Go in?" the thugs asked Terry."Urgh, fine!"Terry bellowed after some thought. "Mr. Lawrence is inside, and we are his backup. Let's go!"Still, just as Terry was about to lead th
"Bravo!" "Amazing!"Even the people from Zomber Group were clapping in excitement when they saw what happened.Terry's men did the same too with worshipful looks in their eyes but stopped awkwardly when Terry glared at them. "Quit clapping already. We're going to meet Mr. Lawrence!" he yelled and led his men toward the two figures who had just landed and were caught under the parachute."Frank Lawrence?!" Kit was terrified even as he crawled out from underneath the parachute.As he jumped off the building, he watched as Frank did the same, sliding down along the crumbling walls.Was that possible for a human?! Kit was certainly skeptical. He doubted that even the Hansen brothers could do it, and they were once the strongest duo in Zamri!Was Frank really just a martial artist, and not some supernatural entity?!Even as the curious thought plagued him, he started running. "As long as I can reach them…" He could see the hundreds of Zomber Group employees and Bleeders g
Seeing that Kit was still ordering him around, Peter's expression contorted viciously.Raising the brick he was holding, he smashed it violently on Kit's head!"Fuck you! I'm not a piece of shit nor a dog!" Peter bellowed as he did so. "It's all you and Larry's fault that I ended up like this! Well, I've killed Larry, and you're going to die now too!""Fucking Peter Lane! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"Kit's vision actually blacked out for a moment, and was incensed when he reached up and felt blood on his head.This mutt who was always beneath him had just hit him!And what was it that he said… that he was the one who killed his brother Larry?!Still, Kit growled, "Hit me again, and I'll make your life a living hell—"Thump!Peter said nothing as he hit Kit in the head again with all his strength, leaving Kit completely stunned."Argh…!!!"It took the man around ten seconds to regain his senses, and he let out a blood-curdling scream when he felt the blood on his
Most of all, Frank did not want Helen's family to fall apart.With that in mind, he turned toward Terry. "The Bleeders' leaders and their martial artists have all been wiped out. The same goes for the Wolvens too—I don't have to tell you what you should do from now on, do I?"Terry's jaw dropped so low that his mouth could fit an egg. "The Wolvens too? For real, Mr. Lawrence?""I won't lie to you. I've dealt with them already." Frank nodded. "Take Peter to the hospital, and he'll be working as a security guard. The rest is up to you."Pausing, he then added, "From now on, there shall be no more gangs in Zamri."With that, he turned to leave, while Terry nodded solemnly."Yes, sir!" he exclaimed before turning to one of his men. "Blackie, take Ms. Lane's brother to the hospital. The rest of you, we're taking over the Bleeders!""Yeah!!!"Terry's men had been excited for a while now.They did not expect their new boss to be this frightening, taking down every martial artist of t
Helen's eyes narrowed, clearly skeptical."See for yourself!" she snapped as she opened her laptop, put it in front of Frank, and played an on-scene interview."This is Piers Hershey, reporting live from the scene. I'm with Mr. Terry Cotton, a kind soul who has been helping victims of the Zomber Tower collapse. What do you think about this incident, Mr. Cotton?""Oh, it's a tragedy. We're just passing by, but it's only right to help…"Piers nodded approvingly. "You really are a model citizen of Zamri, Mr. Cotton."Terry's dramatically tearful reaction left Helen furming. "So what have you been up to again, Frank?!""Uh… We were just having tea with Kit Jameson, over a bar grill and stuff—"Lily the secretary entered just then. "Ms. Lane? A board member of Zomber Group is asking to see you."Frank sighed in relief and was ready to bail, only for Helen to catch him, snorting. "Don't think you're getting away. You either confess, or this won't be over!"Seeing Helen's hostile gla
"Urgh…"Helen had calmed down but snorted as Frank was flashing her a cheeky smile. "Yeah, yeah. You did good, getting us another company. But you're the one who just threw it at us without needing to do anything, while any problems would fall back on me! Do you think I can deal with two major companies at the same time?""Well, you know what they say—those who can are always busy. That's my girl for you—she's always amazing." Frank shrugged, confirming that he would be goofing off.Helen rolled her eyes at him, exasperated.-Vicky Turnbull called in the afternoon, teasing, "Did you know that you're on the news? Sliding down a falling building… That's so cool. Still, something's lacking—you should've been holding a babe like Helen in your arms while you did so." "Ahem…" Frank rubbed his nose awkwardly. "Stop teasing me. Why did you call me?""Oh, it's nothing important." Vicky smiled. "I heard you're acquainted with Gene Pearce?""I guess. What, is something up?" Frank raised
The old man then held out a vase covered in oil paper. "If you're interested, I have a jade vase here for just 500 grand—how about it?""A jade vase?" Frank took the jade vase and shook his head after a brief glance, returning it. "It's clearly a modern object. 500 grand? I'd refuse even if it's just five bucks." He snorted and turned to leave.Two porty goons suddenly showed up, cutting off his path."Heh, kid. But you touched the vase, so you have to buy it now. If you don't…" The old man laughed coolly behind Frank, clearly threatening him.It was clearly a con, and Frank knew that they thought he would be an easy mark since he was alone and new to this place."Do I look like I'd be easily bullied?" Frank remained calm, even sneering at the old man. "Get your boys out of my face if you're smart, or I won't play nice anymore.""Oh, feisty!"The old man showed no intention of backing down, however. "But I've seen many kids who talk tough. The question is, are your bones jus
