Trevor asked, "Should we call up our brothers, Mr. Lawrence?"Frank frowned, his gaze murderous.Still, he said, "No, it's fine. I'll head to Skymex Club right now—I'm massacring them if they hurt Helen."And with that, he hung up and strode off, knocking the suite's huge doors open with a slap of his palm.A formless spiral was revolving around him, the monumental force within barely restrained!-As Helen alighted at Skymex Club, the goons waiting outside who were told beforehand promptly led her to the office upstairs when they saw her.She entered to see Leo standing before the glass wall.With his six-foot frame, rotund stature, and the deep knife scar on his face that ran from his scalp to his lips, his very presence would send chills down anyone's spine.Robin was nearby, sitting on a wheelchair and staring at her fixedly.Leo then turned, leveling his icy glare at her. "So, you're Helen."Helen promptly bowed her head. "I'm sorry for what happened today, Mr. Grayson.
As the dust settled, everyone could see Frank standing there.Leo narrowed his eyes at him. "Who are you?"Frank did not respond. Instead, he turned to look at Helen on the floor, asking coolly, "You're the one who hurt her?"On the other hand, Robin's eyes bulged when he saw that it was Frank and promptly pointed at Frank as he barked, "Dad! That's him! He's the bastard who did this to me! Don't let him escape!"Leo took a deep breath, his eyes glaring murder. "Amazing. You come knocking on my door, sparing me the effort of looking for you."On the other hand, Frank's eyes were red, his knuckles clenching as he growled slowly and clearly, "I'm asking a question.""Hmph." Leo snorted. "So what if I did?""Then die!" Frank bellowed and shot toward Leo like a missile, kicking a gust behind him."What?!" Leo's eyes widened in disbelief—that was so fast!However, he was no slouch himself after being a gangster for so many years—he whipped out the machete from behind his desk, sl
With a single swing of the machete, Frank cut Leo down.And with that, the top dog of West City had fallen.Nearby, Robin was trembling as he stared at his father's corpse, caught in utter disbelief.His father was invincible—how could he die just like that?!Still, he wheeled himself as fast as he could to escape the hellish office, only for Frank to kick him down to the floor."Please have mercy, Frank—it was a mistake! I shouldn't have messed with Helen. Please spare me! I'm a nobody—"Robin's smugness was all gone as he kowtowed repeatedly, hammering his head against the floor.He was certainly regretting his actions now—if he had known Helen was protected by an elite like Frank, he would have stayed well away from her!Frank stared downward at him, his voice cool as ice. "Too late."And with those words, Robin's head was separated from the rest of his body.-Yara arrived at Skymex Club as Vicky had requested. She even brought several elites from the governor's office t
Sean moved up beside Helen just then, staring at her in concern, "Are you okay, Helen?"Helen rubbed her head. "I'm fine, but shouldn't I be in Leo's office? What are you doing here?""I was worried, so I had Mr. Wesley come with me," Gina replied. "Did Leo Grayson do anything to you?"Helen touched her cheek, then her clothes.It seemed that Leo did nothing to her aside from slapping her a few times, leaving her puzzled—the man was ready to cut her into pieces!"I'm fine, but why did Leo let me go?" she asked."It's all thanks to Mr. Wesley," Gina said, realizing with a start and turning toward Skymex Club. "See? The whole place was locked down by the governor's men."Helen turned to see many men in uniforms from the governor's office standing in front of Skymex Club.Gina in turn started to fawn over Sean. "Your father's amazing, Mr. Wesley. He could even pull strings with the governor's office!""Huh…" Sean stiffened, though he soon laughed. "Haha, of course! My dad does ha
Frank frowned—Helen had asked Vicky for help?So that was why Yara showed up! However, before he could tell her about Yara and Vicky, Helen pushed him away.He quickly caught her wrist. "There's a misunderstanding—""Save it. You can stay with Vicky Turnbull as a dog." Helen shook him off and stormed off in disgust.Gina shot him a look of disdain in turn. "I don't mind telling you that Helen called Ms. Turnbull, but she didn't care if you lived. But my daughter still found sympathy in her heart to beg Leo Grayson—you wouldn't know what killed you if not for her!"Rolling her eyes at him, she left with Sean, who was all smiles since he was the happiest person present.On the other hand, Frank was left standing there, conflicted. He was actually surprised that Helen had gone to Leo to beg for his sake—he had really been severe.However, she was already gone, leaving him alone standing on the curb in the cold night.-After a long while, Yara stepped out of Skymex Club and n
Dan, however, was completely confused when he arrived at Gerald's residence to find him coughing repeatedly, occasionally spitting blood. "Dan, why did my condition get so bad?" Gerald asked.Dan could only rub his beard and ask, "Your pulse is a mess. Did you eat anything bad recently?"Gerald shook his head repeatedly. "No… and I took the medicine like you ordered me to…"That left Dan even more confused, and he growled through his teeth, "Your symptoms are all so bizarre. This is beyond me now.""What?! How?!" Tidus Simmons cried, grabbing his arms. "You're the best healer in Riverton! You have to save my father!""I'd rather nothing happen to him too," Dan said bitterly. "But I have limits, and…"He trailed off, but he basically meant there was no hope.Tidus felt his breath leave his lungs as he dropped to a heap beside his father.Still, Gerald appeared calm. "It's alright. Death is merely nature running its course—no one can ever beat it."Nonetheless, the bedroom was
There was an urgent knock on his door just then, and Frank opened it to find a man he did not recognize.Still, his finely tailored suit made it clear he was not your average Joe, and there was a burly black-clad bodyguard behind him."Who are you?" Frank asked.Tidus did not waste his breath and asked bluntly, "Frank Lawrence? I'm Gerald Simmons' son."Frank promptly understood. "It seems your father's condition is worse than I thought."Tidus seized his collar right then. "You did something to him, didn't you?!"His father was perfectly fine despite being sick on occasion but was suddenly dying after meeting this brat! He really doubted this brat was innocent!Frank simply smiled. "Your father is plagued with multiple conditions, with his thorax being maimed during his younger days. It was always on the verge of aggravation. Also, I just need to lift my finger and he'd be dead—why go through so much trouble?"Tidus considered that for a long while before eventually growling
Everyone promptly ran to the doorway, but Frank was nowhere to be seen.Only Tidus was there, clutching his arm and wobbling as he hurried back."Tidus? Where's Frank?" Kenny promptly asked."No. That pompous bastard said my father's thorax was maimed during his youth and was already nearing death," Tidus growled through his teeth. "He demanded that my father go to him personally—I was going to argue, but he dislocated my shoulder!""What?!" Kenny exclaimed furiously. "He's so full of himself! I'll bring him here myself!""Hold it!" Dan suddenly barked and ran right up to Tidus. "What did you say? How does he know about your father's injury during his youth?!"Tidus did a double take. "No, he's just spewing crap. My father never mentioned anything like that…"Dan sighed lengthily. "Actually, it did happen, but he had supposedly made a full recovery. Also, only he and I are aware… Not even Vicky Turnbull would have known!"Everyone traded glances at that.Frowning, Norman sugge
