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
Vicky thought about it. "Naturally, we'll wait and do it when the Salazars start selling the Beauty Pill.""Wait, are you serious?" Frank was stunned."Yes. I want to wipe the floor with them," Vicky said confidently.To be precise, she was brimming with confidence when it came to the Rejuvenation Pill. Still, she paused for a moment in thought and said, "However, there are still preparations to be made.""Preparations?" Frank asked in curiosity."The matter of the endorser, to be precise.""Who do you have in mind?"Vicky grinned as she sat down beside Frank. "You bailed out a famous star named Noel York earlier, didn't you? I'm planning to have her help, since she is in hot demand at the moment."Frank nodded in agreement—having a star celebrity promote a product was certainly effective. "Then why don't you reach out to her?""I'm planning to have you do it," Vicky replied. "You more or less saved her, didn't you? She'd certainly help with a little favor. Also, I'm a busy
The salesperson bowed to Frank and Janet before asking, "Sir, ma'am—I'm Lydia King, at your service. May I ask what models you may be interested in?"Lydia had started work for a month but had not made any sales yet—she would be fired by the end of the month if that continued. If anything, she was surprised that Marian, who topped sales last month, would hand the customers over to herself.They may appear young, but it was better than having no customers at all.Just then, the front doors opened as a balding middle-aged man strode in.Marian promptly approached him, "Oh, Mr. Larkin! So? Have you thought about the models I showed you last time?Mr. Larkin put an arm around her wrist, even giving her rump a good smack as he chuckled, "Oh, I'm here to buy alright! Though you'd have to give me a proper… Demo.""Of course. In fact, you can test drive it before you decide," Marian giggled, hiding a smile behind her palm.As they chattered away jovially, Frank frowned in the distance
After a while, Lydia returned with two contracts.Frank quickly signed them and had his card swiped for payment.Once the paperwork was done, Lydia handed them the car keys while asking, "Are you going to drive the car, or shall we deliver them to your residence?""I'll drive.""Okay. Shall we get the cars now, Mr. Lawrence?"Frank nodded and had Janet come along as Lydia led them to the warehouse.As they arrived, an E-class Mercedes stopped beside them, with Mr. Lambert and Marian alighting.Frank glanced at them, and saw that Marian's clothes were a mess even as she wrapped her hands around Mr. Lambert's arm."It's good, right?" she purred. "Shall we sign the sales contract right away?"Mr. Lambert, however, remained hesitant for a long while. "Yeah. It's good, but it just falls short of my expectations. I think I'll check out the others…"Marian was left staring at him. "The others? Well, if you don't like Mercedes, we have Maybachs too…"Mr. Lambert merely peered at one
