The dame was furious. "You're out of line!"Hornless Dragon promptly tried to make peace. "Come on, brother! Do us a solid… We'll pay for all the repairs, along with 300,000 for renovations. How about that?""Not a chance!" Conan promptly refused.In fact, he wanted no reparations at all. He might not own a full-spec Audi A6 like the dame despite working in the homestay business for years, but he still had enough money for repairs and renovations and to cover for any further losses. Instead, he wanted the dame and her gangster friends in jail, so that there would not be any future problems!On the other hand, the dame was furious. "There's no pleasing you, huh? Then just die already! Kill him, Dragon!"Hornless Dragon only smiled but said nothing. After all, he was dead sure that Frank's group would be in a fight against Conan and had not brought that many people with him… though it was not like they would stand a chance against Frank and Jada even if he brought anyone.Unlik
No matter how embarrassed Hornless Dragon felt just then, he knew that it was still better to stay alive.In the streets, it was judgment that won battles, not strength.And against a man he could not win like Frank, begging for mercy was the best choice—it was only not embarrassing if that resolved the issue.Frank turned coolly toward the dame. "It seems that you're not afraid at all.""Or what? Are you going to kill me?" She smirked.Jada strode up to her right then, slapping her so hard her left cheek swelled right then, and she coughed out a mouthful of blood!She did not stop there either—grabbing the dame's ears with each hand, she ripped them off audibly!The dame certainly was not a tough cookie, and the agony left her in tears as she bellowed, "You're crazy! You'll pay for this!"Jada sneered. Pulling the dame off her wheelchair, she snapped coolly, "You called him a coward, but you're no different—a slap and a couple of ears loose, and you're bawling like that!"The
Being quadriplegic was certainly traumatizing for an adult like Hornless Dragon. Not only would he have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, but he would also be left effectively between dead and alive without a source of income.Unable to stop himself anymore, he shrieked at Frank, "Y-You're crazy!" Frank chuckled coolly. "I'm sure you'd think otherwise when you're the bully. People like you should be ready to die, so don't blame me!"And with those words, he knocked out Hornless Dragon with a backhand slap.Conan smiled in wry amusement at that. "They've really messed with the wrong people, getting into it with tough nuts like you two! Guess that also shows me that I must never abuse my authority, or I wouldn't even know what killed me."Frank nodded. "Being the best version of yourself is better than anything else!"-The next morning, Toto visited Frank's group just to thank them, bringing along two chickens and a large goose.Frank smiled in wry amusement. "It's
"Exactly! You don't look like bad people. How could you do that to him?""Looks like a rich kid to me—the type who's used to bullying people!"Realizing the misunderstanding, Demi quickly explained, "You misunderstand. This person is a pickpocket! He stole my phone!"Everyone traded glances, but as the pickpocket expected, they judged her by her appearance—especially her plain clothes. "It's not like we're making fun of you, girl." Someone even chuckled. "Even if he's a thief, he wouldn't try to steal from you, would he?""Exactly!" the pickpocket chimed in. "Where's your proof?!"Flustered, Demi leapt up and snapped, "We'll know when we search you!"Interestingly, Frank stopped her right then.After all, only the police had the right to frisk a person, and the pickpocket was deliberately luring Demi to search him.He was not getting away, but he could still ruin Demi's day for her and was all too pleased to do that!Suddenly, Frank feigned surprise and exclaimed, "What's th
The pickpocket then wheeled on Jada and Demi. "And you, bitches! I'll have you stripped naked and humiliated soon enough!"While others would take it from him, Jada refused. "I dare you to say that again!"At the same time, she strode up, slapping the pickpocket across the face and sending him sideways.He was left coughing blood and teeth, even molars that were supposed to stay firmly in place!"Y-You've done it now!" he growled."I could say the same about you!" Jada bellowed and charged at him again.Frank released the pickpocket as if on cue, and the pickpocket assumed a stance.Even if he could not beat Frank, did he really stand no chance against some stinking wench?!However, it proved to be a tragedy as Jada sent him flying with a slap.And before he could react, she was on top of him again and raining punches all over him.Everyone was shocked as they watched—to think that the girl was so frighteningly powerful despite her plain appearance! Every blow was devastating
Jada blushed for once. "You don't have to, Mr. Frankton! Not against the likes of him!"She was not being emotional that Frank swooped in on a white horse—it simply did not sit well for her as his subordinate. If she could not handle someone like Blondie, how would she hold her head high around Moxxi and the rest?Frank knew what she was thinking and clapped her on the shoulder. "Just let me have my fun!"It was certainly a fair remark, putting it as enjoyment so that Jada could not refuse."You're up? You're kidding!"On the other hand, Blondie was chuckling and shaking his head, seeing how plain Frank was. It was not as if he was belittling Frank, but he could handle five hundred pretty boys like him!Frank simply smiled. "I guess you're Ascendant-ranked, huh?"Blondie's eyes lit up. "Well done, kid! You've done your homework—but so what? You're not going to win!"Without another word, he charged at Frank in full-speed, only to get hit in return and sent flying backward.
Frank actually had no intention to kill Blondie, but his insults really irked Frank.Since he had no scruples and had definitely been involved in plenty of crimes involving plenty of victims, Frank did not hesitate to grab him and throw him down the mountain.The crowd was shocked and hurried over to the edge to see that Blondie had landed instantly, reduced to a puddle of blood and guts!They all turned pale in terror—Frank was simply horrific!On the other hand, Jada was sneering at the pickpockets lying around on the floor. They were certainly a lot less pompous than before, even prostrating themselves before Frank in a tidy line as if they trained for it.Frank snorted. "I'll be frank—I'd rather not spare any of you, so it's a shame that people whose lives are inconsequential. You have one chance to surrender yourself to the authorities in two hours, or I'll find you and kill you. Understand?""Yes, sir!"The pickpockets all nodded, scrambling to their feet and sprinting d
After Moxxi followed Jada into the kitchen, pots of stewed mushroom with chicken and goose were served, with plates of salads and coleslaws.Everyone was famished in the first place and started wolfing it down since Jada's cooking was great.Lara Gold was even munching as she praised, "Forgive me for being frank, Mr. Frankton, but this is amazing! Ms. Turin cooks even better than Sadie Godot's stupid brother!"Frank chuckled. "She's as much a warrior in the kitchen as she is at work. A rare breed—any man would be lucky to marry her."Jada rolled her eyes but said nothing, though Alda teased, "What if it's you, Mr. Frankton?""Ms. Ingram!" Jada snapped as she shot her a glare, blushing.Alda simply raised a glass of fruit juice at her. "I apologize for my terrible flaw of being too honest. I'll chug this in apology!"She finished the entire glass at once, leaving Jada speechless.While Alda could be quiet, she really knew how to leave a person stumped.Still, while the atmosphe
