"I think you've had too much to drink!"The brute seemed to hear Frank's cold voice behind himself, but before he could turn, he felt an immense force in his hips.Then, he crashed through the glass window with an audible clang and fell off the building!The smiles on his friends faces' froze right then, and they all fled right then, afraid to linger a second longer.Frank snorted coolly and returned to his seat, only realizing just then that the PR ladies were all gaping at him.By gosh, he looked so scrawny, but he was so strong that he could kick that brute out of the window!"That's amazing!"Everyone applauded at the same time, leaving Frank unsure how to react.Eventually, he shrugged. "People like him are easy to deal with—it's really nothing to brag about. Let's continue…"Everyone nodded, but they were all looking at Frank with infatuation.Who would not? A university student who had the looks and could fight and drink?"Let's stop drinking, Mr. Frankton! Let's have
Frank was unsure how he should react. "Do I look like I'm some inquisitor?"Linda nodded. "You look just like one! Come on, you can tell a sister—why are you so interested in Mr. Chand's background?""You don't understand." Frank sighed. "I'm really worried that he'd be led astray."And as a high-ranked PR officer and one of the earliest recruits of the company, Linda was naturally privy to Jason's past, and Frank naturally convinced her."Don't worry. I'll definitely tell you when it's over!" she assured him.Frank was certainly exasperated—these ladies were such players that they could really get him killed."Come, Mr. Frankton," Nora exclaimed as she came over, slurring a little as she had too much to drink. "Cheers!""You should stop already!"Linda was certainly intent on stopping her, only for Nora to shove her aside right then, snorting grumpily, "What, did you forget what we've agreed? If a fresh face shows up, no one gets to keep him for herself!"However, that only p
Lex shot the manager a glare, clearly thinking nothing of him. "Cut the crap. Are our seats ready?"Tarik's two thugs were left shocked in turn, as the nightclub was not open to your average Joe—only privileged customers got to step through the front door. In fact, the manager was said to be a big shot himself during his younger days, and even Tarik had to watch himself around him.And yet, Lex was so brazenly arrogant with the manager… There was truly always a bigger fish!"Don't worry, I'd never forget your orders! This way, please!"After the manager led Lex's entourage to their seats and everyone sat down, Tarik's thug immediately spotted Frank, who was still mobbed by the PR ladies.Pointing at Frank right then, one exclaimed, "Look, Lex! That's him!"Lex smirked in turn—Frank did look like he had the stature and potential as a martial artist, and it was completely expected that he could handle a bigger man.Still, Lex shrugged. "Well, I could help… But business has been
Linda stopped and turned to the young man. "Oh, if it isn't Tigris!"Like Linda, Tigris was working for Jason too, albeit in security."How many people are with you?" Tigris asked, pointing at a booth seat nearby. "My boys are here too. What about you?"Linda gestured at Frank with her chin. "That's our new manager. He's quite a looker… Now help me get him drunk!"They were clearly close enough to be candid, and Tigris nodded. "Haha! Well, he's in for it this time! Let's work together—I'll back you up!"Linda's eyes lit up—thank goodness she had a buddy like Tigris to help! Nora could well give up now!Soon, they returned to Linda's seat. "Let me introduce you to Tigris, Mr. Frankton. He works at our company too.""Tigris, this is Mr. Lugh Frankton. He's close friends with Mr. Chand."Tigris held out a hand right then. "Hello, Mr. Frankton! We're brothers from now on—if you ever need help, just ask. I'll never refuse you!"There were cases where the subordinates turned out jus
Naturally, where there were winners, there were also losers.Nora knocked over some bottles with her foot, and she wanted nothing less than to punch both Tigris and Linda just then!However, she was not giving up either."Tigris, I know where you live—but isn't that a little small?" she asked before turning to Frank. "You can stay at my place instead. It's more spacious!""Oh, I'd really rather not…"Frank quickly refused, since Nora was ready to devour him!He did not dislike Nora, and he was no celibate monk who rejected all the ladies.But if he had to be honest, Nora was so bold that Frank could feel chills down his spine.Nonetheless, that was when the manager of the nightclub arrived with more than a handful of bouncers, each of them carrying metal bats and instantly encircling the booth seat."What's the meaning of this?!" Linda glowered right then. "Just so you know, I know your boss!"The manager snorted in disdain—he knew Linda and that she had some standing since J
"What?!" Lex bellowed. "Don't you know who I am?! And you're telling me to apologize to him—""Are you saying you can't do it?"Frank was in front of Lex with a flash, snatching the lenses off his glasses while still leaving the frame on his face.Even as Lex's vision blurred, Frank snapped, "If I can take away your glasses, I can take your eyes anytime, so kneel!"At Frank's bellow, Lex's knees buckled, and he dropped to his knees, leaving Tarik's thugs trading glances from their booth seats.Lex was supposed to defend their honor, only for Frank to take him down in an instant!They always said that the real heroes showed up at the very last moment… and by heroes, they definitely meant Frank!Meanwhile, Shanti, the owner of the nightclub, finally arrived."Oh, this is all such a huge misunderstanding," he quickly said. "Let's all just cool down for a moment for my sake, alright?"However, Linda was twirling the red wine in her hand, and not even looking his way as she scoffed
The guests were left shocked as they looked on.After all, this was no ordinary nightclub—there were countless other secret shareholders, and this was the first time anyone had ever caused trouble here!Even more interestingly, the owner was left flushing, but he did not dare to stop that bunch of troublemakers.Talk about young and ignorant!Meanwhile, Linda was gloating. "Shanti, the name is Linda Yates—remember the name, and you can come after me anytime you want."Getting up, she beckoned to the other ladies to leave like she was the queen of the place.Through it all, Shanti was left clenching his knuckles in frustration but could not say a word.There was no helping it—while he had the balls to bring Linda down a peg and the confidence to take down Tigris, the gigolo was the problem here.The man had beaten Lex, and the boss would just be wasting his time throwing his minions at that man.However, he thought to himself that this was fine.This was the new age, and there
"Fine. Then we'll keep quiet, okay?!"Nora had her own bag of tricks too, and she gestured for the ladies to find seats for themselves, but in silence.Linda was certainly out of options then—this bunch was really not going home now!Hence, she pulled Nora aside and whispered, "Let's make a deal! Send the other girls away, while we share Mr. Frankton. How about that?"Nora promptly nodded. "Deal!"Then, walking up to the others, she said, "Alright, girls. It's time to go—Mr. Frankton is tired now, and the fun part can wait until tomorrow, okay?"Among the ladies in the PR department, only Nora would dare to argue against Linda anyway.And if Nora left, none of them were going to stay, and so, they were all herded away from Tigris' apartment.After they were gone, Linda breathed a sigh of relief and promptly shut the door. "Which rooms are free?"Tigris tactfully pointed at the master bedroom. "Just that one. You two should make do!""That's inappropriate…" Linda pouted, but h
