Helen did not hesitate to drive to Delightpub immediately, where she was immediately restrained by two bouncers.Helen struggled as she shouted, "What are you doing?! Let go of me!"Phineas showed up just then, and Helen demanded, "Where's Frank?! I want to see him!"Phineas shrugged and chuckled. "Just sit tight, Ms. Lane. You'll see him soon enough.""What are you talking about?""You lovebirds…" Phineas grinned. "I'm sure Frank will rush here to save you the instant he knows we have you.""What…?" Helen was dumbstruck, and her heart soon sank as she realized she had been tricked.They wanted her here so they could lure Frank here too!"Let go of me!" she bellowed and struggled, but the two bouncers held her in place with a vice-like grip.Phineas spread his arms as he laughed. "Take her upstairs."With that, the two bodyguards dragged her upstairs without a hint of chivalry.Rolf, who was watching everything from his private room, smiled.-Meanwhile, Kenny and Dan arri
Kenny even promised, "If he disrespects you again, Mr. Lawrence, I'll personally break his legs."As Kenny and Dan worked together to reason with Frank, he was made well aware that both men had come to speak on Rolf's behalf.Naturally, he decided he could offer some leeway, considering Dan and Kenny's influence in Riverton. He smiled at Kenny. "How could I not honor your request since you and Mr. Zimmer came personally for this?"Both men breathed a long sigh of relief at that—it seemed that Frank was going to forgive Rolf.Frank then took out a pill and threw it at Kenny. "It's an Ichor Pill. Have Rolf apply it to his arm, and he'll recover in half a month.""Oh…"Kenny gasped, shocked that Frank would really give him an Ichor Pill! This was certainly more than worth the trouble!"Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" He exclaimed.Dan was stroking his beard and nodding in satisfaction in turn—he was certainly right about Frank.However, just as they were making small talk afterward
Frank aligned and looked at the thugs around him.They had him encircled, but they were also too scared to advance—the carnage he left yesterday was still fresh in their memory.Even Phineas felt a chill running down his spine when he saw Frank's murderous glare."Where is Helen?" Frank demanded angrily."Right here!" Rolf shouted from the second floor, grabbing Helen by the neck with his good arm.Frank looked up and was actually surprised to see Rolf just then."Run, Frank!" Helen shouted at the top of her lungs. "This is a trap!"She knew that Frank was strong and mere thugs would never beat him, but there was a legion of them here and they were all armed to the teeth. And Frank was alone—she was convinced he was going to die.In reality, Frank did not even care about the thugs, as his sharp glare was fixed on Rolf. "She has nothing to do with this. Let her go, and we can talk.""Haha!" Rolf laughed. "What am I, stupid?"Turning toward Helen just then, he sneered. "So, y
Frank's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly launched a kick at Phineas, sending him flying!Bang!Phineas hit the wall and stayed stuck on it.Blood started gushing from the mouth, his fate unknown.His goons all paled in shock but were too scared to attack FrankSeeing that, Rolf promptly whipped out a knife and pressed it against Helen's neck. "How dare you! Give me your blood right now, or I'll kill her!"Frank would never take such an insult, but he had no choice for Helen's sake.As he slowly picked up the knife, Helen cried, "Please, stop! Don't do this, Frank! They won't stop even if you do what he says…"Frank shot her a glare. "That's your fault for being so gullible."It struck Helen where it hurt, and she apologized profusely. "I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry…"Frank would not have been pushed this far for her!"What's the point of apologizing now? Please use your brain the next time you run into something like this," Frank snapped impatiently.Helen hung her head in embar
Helen hid behind Frank, feeling safe like never before at that moment.Not even her mother or Sean could make her feel this way!At the same time, Rolf pointed at Frank and cried frantically, "Kill him! He only has one hand now—use your numbers against him! I'll pay the person who kills him five million dollars!"Frank laughed icily. "Am I that cheap in your eyes?"In reality, the bounty on Frank's head abroad was over two billion.Still, where there was money, there was a way.While Phineas' thugs knew they could not handle Frank when he had both hands, they were convinced there was a chance now that he only had one working hand."Rawgh!!!"Someone suddenly yelled, and spurred by that battlecry, the thugs all charged.Frank merely flicked his shoulder, and his broken arm was visibly fixed!His combat ability restored, he leapt forward like an unstoppable locomotive, and so fast that average Joes like them could hardly keep up.With single punches, he floored all the thugs s
Frank's words made it clear to Kenny that Rolf was dead meat.Turning to Rolf, he said, "Do it yourself. Don't make me do it."Rolf was left gaping as his heart sank—Kenny had completely given up on him."No…"He started bawling, never once expecting to end up this way.He certainly realized that death was inevitable because he had messed with the wrong person, no matter how powerful his allies were!And if he did not kill himself, Skyblade Dojo would be punished for it!"I'm sorry," Rolf said as he composed himself and used his good arm to stab himself in the chest.He coughed blood as he died instantly, his heart crushed.Frank quietly left the alley after seeing that Rolf was dead, while Kenny sighed and called his man to carry Rolf's corpse away.Even if they were not brothers by blood, there was no avoiding grief since Rolf was still family.Though despondent as he left the alley, he apologized to Frank again. "I'm so sorry about what happened, Mr. Lawrence. I didn't th
Helen asked curiously, "Mr. Zimmer, you know Frank?""Of course." Dan smiled. "Mr. Lawrence's knowledge of medicine is so profound that I can't begin to describe my admiration."Helen was left dumbstruck and leveled a puzzled look at Frank.His knowledge of medicine was… profound, and even Dan himself admired him?!How had she been oblivious about that in the three years they were married?"Are you joking, Mr. Zimmer?" she asked gingerly."Haha! I have no reason to do so." Dan grinned as he stroked his beard. "Remember Lyndon McCoy? Mr. Lawrence himself treated him when he suffered complications.""What?!" Helen was shocked, though she soon remembered the fake Ichor Pill she presented to Lyndon as a gift.It almost killed Lyndon, and Rocco had Helen captured… though he soon released her.So it was Frank who saved her? And seeing Dan's seriousness, it was clear he was not joking.It was now not surprising why Dan would ask the reason she divorced Frank before—they were alrea
Frank was surprised. "Aren't you going to get some rest first?'"No, I'm not hurt anyway." Helen shook her head and started toward the door.Vicky glanced at her and said, "I'll walk with you."Frank grabbed Vicky's wrist right then—something might happen if those two ended up alone!Nonetheless, Vicky flashed Frank a calm smile. "Don't worry. I'm really just walking with her."With that, she walked side-by-side with Helen along the hallways of Flora Hall.Vicky was the one who spoke first. "So, Ms. Lane… I heard Frank was caught in that huge mess to save you."Helen nodded without flinching. "Yes. That's what happened.""And since we're adults, I'd like you to remember what it means to take responsibility for yourself instead of needing others to keep cleaning up after you," Vicky said.Helen scowled—in reality, she was the victim because Rolf was after Frank.If anything, she was innocent.Still, she did not back down despite Vicky's hostile words. "You're misunderstanding
