"What?!"Frank came to his senses as soon as he heard Winter's voice—she was being held against her will!Just as the bodyguards lunged at Frank as they were told, Frank heard someone curse and slap Winter viciously.And how did Frank know that?Because he could hear Winter groaning after being hit."You're all going to die!" Frank bellowed furiously as his eyes turned red right then, and he leapt up to seize the bodyguard by the neck, crushing it like jelly.Kicking away the other bodyguards who rushed him, Frank shoved a burst of pure vigor into the lifeless corpse of the bodyguard, and…Bang!The body erupted violently, splashing blood everywhere.The bodyguards closest to Frank were screaming as they collapsed to the floor, and the bones in the exploding body pierced their bodies."What?!"The other bodyguards turned pale when they saw the horrors Frank inflicted, and all of them tried to flee.Frank was not about to give these abettors the chance.He charged after the
Even before Ivor could finish his maniacal ravings, Frank crushed his ankles under his foot."Argh!!!" Even as Ivor screamed hysterically, he finally felt fear.After all, there could only be two reasons Frank would keep going despite Ivor name-dropping his own father—the first being that Frank's connections were far more powerful, and the second, that Frank did not have connections but was dead set on killing him.Whatever reason it might be, things would not end well for him.As such, despite the agony, he started to plead endlessly to Frank, "Please, I surrender, I surrender! Please don't kill me!"Terror showed in his eyes even as he felt Frank's foot near his nape—he would really die if Frank shoved his foot down!"Hmph…"Feeling Frank taking his foot away from his nape, Ivor breathed a sigh of relief, only for him to feel the heartrending pain from his hand and leg again. 'Motherfucker! Messing with me just because you're a martial artist?! Once I return to Zamri alive…
Seeing Ivor's tragic state, Dean certainly did not dare to act tough and kowtowed to Frank as he begged, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Lawrence! It's all because we listened to that woman's goading… That's why we tried to attack Winter! We didn't want to do this!"Frank narrowed his eyes and asked coolly, "Woman? What woman?""She called herself Aria Lond… said she's acquainted with Winter," Dean said, quick to shift blame.Frank's expression contorted in rage when he heard that name, while anger and disappointment showed in Winter's eyes."Hah! So it was Aria… That's why this whole thing felt like it was arranged!" Jean snapped, furious towards her ex-best friend."And I thought sparing her life was being magnanimous… Can't do a thing now that she's asking for it," Frank growled sinisterly, scowling.He naturally knew that Aria held a bitter grudge against him, but he did not think she was so vile that she would lash out at her own friend.Leaving her at large would only cause more problem
Dean, Jarek, and Sunny were certainly pathetic, kowtowing to Frank as everyone watched.It was a dark page in their history, and they had to get even!That was the case especially for Ivor, who had to suffer utter humiliation just to survive.If he could, he would call his father right now and have him send his men over.However, he also knew very well that his father was a busy man and did not have time for his nonsense, not to mention that a call was not convincing.Instead, he must let his father see his tragic state and get his father to do something.Strengthening his resolve, Ivor snapped coolly, "Go, get my car and take me to my dad's office in Bearson Group right now. I will let him see how I suffered! It'll be a slap to his face!""Alright!"Dean, Jarek, and Sunny Cabat traded glances, gleeful right then.After all, Bearson Group was secretly backed by the Lionhearts of Morhen!If the Lionhearts helped, Frank was as good as dead!The men's footsteps quickened at the
Winter, who had been craning her neck to listen in on the call, quickly turned away when Frank hung up, feigning ignorance.Naturally, she could not fool Frank—he did not blame her, however, and instead patted her head and chuckled.She would be his apprentice from now on.It was a little ridiculous in a way, seeing that his mentor's daughter would become his apprentice instead of becoming her fellow."Hmph. How meddlesome…"Hearing the tactless grumble, Frank turned to see a long-haired girl wearing thick-makeup.Though she was basically a four, she was a seven thanks to her elaborate makeup. On the other hand, Winter just needed basic makeup to reach eight point five, even nine.Nonetheless, Frank was frowning when he heard the complaint.Jean heard it too. Being blunt as she always was, she promptly snapped, "What's that supposed to mean, Yew?""Nothing. Tch." Yew clicked her tongue, sarcastic even as she folded her arms before her chest. "All thanks to Winter's amazing b
After all, Zamri Hospital was one of the best hospitals in the East Coast, and its previous chief, Dennis Jackson, was one of Zamri's Three Bears!They were on a completely different level from Riverton Hospital!"Are you messing with us, Professor Lawrence?"Yew snorted skeptically. "Even Ivor Bearson only promised a recommendation letter and not an internship. Do you even have the connections for this?""Oh, but don't worry—I do."Frank nodded to assure everyone, even smiling and pointing at Winter, "And the next chief of Zamri Hospital is standing right there. She's your friend, after all—would an internship be really a problem?""What?! The chief of Zamri Hospital?!"Everyone stared blankly at the equally confused Winter, who could barely speak.As everyone looked on, she shook her head repeatedly, her hair flowing in waves. "F-Frank… Me, the chief?" she stammered. "No way! What are you talking about?! I just graduated, and I'm going to become chief? That absolutely won't
The private room turned completely silent.Earlier, the girls were slightly convinced that Frank could write a recommendation letter so that they would have a shot at getting an internship at Zamri Hospital. But now, he was also saying that he would help Winter get appointed as the chief of that hospital, and that he and Gene Pearce agreed to that?Everyone knew that Gene was the richest man of the east coast, and Frank would say that he and that man discussed and agreed to let Winter become chief?!Who did he think he was, swaying Gene's decisions?! It was no longer a joke at that point—just fiction.Yew did not even bother mocking Frank at that point. Keeping a straight face, she picked up her handbag and got to her feet, "Keep listening to him brag all you want. I'm leaving—I don't have the time to waste here."Two other girls followed suit, holding no hopes toward Frank at all.In their mind, Frank must be crazy for saying something like that, and anything else would just b
With that, only Jean and Winter were left in the room with Frank.Smiling at Winter, he said, "I'm going to teach you the precepts of Draconian traditional medicine over a month, while you study the rest from there. How about that?"Winter's eyes lit up—she had seen Frank's skill in medicine, and she would be a great help to him if she could inherit his skills.She nodded repeatedly at that thought."Good." Frank was pleased to see her agree to it. "With this, you'll be even more qualified as hospital chief.""Why are you still going on about that…" Winter pouted, clearly doubting Frank.Frank was not concerned, however, even smiling as he patted her head and told her to study well while he made the arrangements.Jean stood up just then—she was not convinced Frank could get someone like Gene to agree to his request, but Frank had already achieved the impossible one too many times.At this point, she was just used to Frank achieving wonders, which was why she was the only one mo
