The door was quietly opened as two black-clad men quietly stepped inside, their eyes narrowed amid the dim environment.Pow! There was a thunderous crash as Frank suddenly appeared and kicked one of the black-clad men!The man felt as if he was hit by a truck and instantly felt his spine snap as he passed out!"Fuck!" the other black-clad man cursed and whipped out his steel knife, swinging it at the source of the sound.He moved so quickly he left a gust as he moved, but Frank could judge from the air movement to determine where he was coming from.He stepped to the side, allowing the keen edge of the blade to brush just past his hair.Then, he clenched his knuckle and punched with the force of a missile.Pow!The second black-clad man was hence sent flying and slammed violently against the wall, coughing blood as his chest was left sunken."W-What are you…" He leaned against the wall as he panted heavily, caught in disbelief by Frank's power.He could not even see Frank,
Frank whipped out his phone and dialed Chad's number.Chad, who was still at The Dynasty, just happened to be in the bathroom when he got the call.He hesitated to answer but did so after some thinking, keeping his voice down. "Hello? Mr. Lawrence?""Helen is in The Dynasty, isn't she?" Frank asked bluntly."Well…"Chad was at once bewildered—did Finn not just send his men after Frank?Guess that was a dud, and now, Frank's question would determine which side he was on.Finn or Frank?Chad certainly had no idea—he really just wanted to sit on the fence and join the side of the winner… On the other end, seeing that Chad was not talking, Frank said coolly, "Just tell me—yes or no. If you're telling the truth, I'll spare you when I get there, and you'll remain the kingpin of West City."Those words struck a chord within Chad.If he served Finn, he would only amount to a lackey given that Finn himself answered to the Chandlers.But if he served Frank, he would be the king of W
Finn was fiddling with his butterfly knife in The Dynasty.In his mind, the two henchmen he sent were more than enough to take out Frank.But even as he was feeling smug, a loud crash resounded!The front doors of the bar were suddenly kicked down, and a huge group of armed men rushed into the building!And once within reach, they were all immediately attacking Finn's henchmen!On the other hand, Chad was well-prepared. He knew that Frank would not take Finn's insult lying down, so he told his boys to bolt the instant a fight broke out.Even so, he was surprised that Frank could call up so many men!Meanwhile, Finn was still left dumbfounded. He had only brought over twenty martial elites from Middleton, and there must be over fifty men attacking his henchmen now, with still more charging into the building."Where did Frank Lawrence find so many men?!" he snarled."We're getting swamped, sir!" one of his henchmen shouted as he ran up to him. "What should we do?!"Finn gritt
Chad suddenly leaped on the black-clad man and stabbed him viciously in the back!As the black-clad man bled, he bellowed furiously, "You! You're betraying Mr. Chandler?!""Fuck you!" Chad snapped in contempt as he stabbed the black-clad man repeatedly until he killed the man. "I'm the king of West City. Your master is nothing!"Gina was left huddled against her son as they shuddered, totally inexperienced in the face of such violence.Chad spat at the lifeless body of the black-clad man in turn before turning toward them and pointing at the door. "What are you waiting for? Run!"Sean was the first to respond, immediately dashing out of the room!Gina and Peter promptly helped Helen to her feet as well, even thanking Chad profusely. "Thank you, Mr. Scarface. Thank you…"However, they had just gone a floor down and found a huge group of people engaged in a melee, leaving them too terrified to move.Chad rolled his eyes and pointed at the other end of the hallway. "Take the fire
Vicky shot Gina a glare of disgust. "Shut up. I don't need you to tell me what to do.""Urgh…" Gina was promptly cowed by her outburst. "Y-Yes, you're right, Ms. Turnbull."Meanwhile, Trevor and his men surrounded and wiped out Finn's henchmen with minimum effort, and he was just coming out of the fire escape when he ran into Vicky."Oh, you're here too, Ms. Turnbull?" Trevor exclaimed in surprise, before adding politely, "Actually, Mr. Lawrence didn't want to involve you with this one.""Mr. Zurich, you can dispense with the niceties," Vicky replied bluntly. "Why wouldn't I help when Frank is involved?"As she spoke, she slid a peek at the bodyguard standing behind Trevor—being a martial artist herself, she knew a thing or two about identifying martial elites.Given his bulky frame and withheld presence, it was obvious that he was strong—perhaps even stronger than Cliff.And a martial elite of such caliber was loyal to Trevor, whereas Trevor was loyal to Frank…Unable to hide
Gina then told Helen, "I guess Mr. Zurich still cares about us."Peter nodded as well. "Yeah. Even the Turnbulls came—Mr. Zurich must have sent them."Just then, Sean arrived and said, "It's alright now, Helen. It's all over.""Get out!" Helen snapped as she glared at him viciously. "I don't want to see you!"She became thoroughly disgusted with him after learning that he was just a liar. All her successes turned out to be thanks to Trevor, not Sean! Even if Trevor stopped partnering with her for a while, who else could the person Vicky mentioned be? Trevor must have spoken to George Turnbull and allowed her to win the invitation to Tender.She should have known—Sean was in no place to influence the Turnbulls!"Oh, calm down, Helen," Gina reasoned. "Mr. Wesley didn't help much, but his heart was in the right place."Even if Gina was also upset with what Sean did, his family was rich, and having their backing was still good enough.Sean was glaring at Helen in turn. He alm
Frank tried to comfort Helen, only for Helen to push him away."What are you doing here, lowlife?!" Gina snapped at him right then. "My daughter doesn't want to see you! Get out of here!"Frank ignored her and looked at Helen seriously instead. "Don't worry, Helen. It's no big deal—I have something that would remove even the scar."Helen, however, was covering her ears and shaking her head repeatedly, refusing to listen or see anyone, let alone Frank.At the same time, Gina continued to snap at Frank, "Get out! My daughter doesn't need your help!"Peter promptly joined in. "Don't you understand what others are saying?!"Even the doctor reasoned, "Sir, the patient is feeling agitated. You should go."This time, Frank said nothing since he knew Helen would refuse to listen.He quietly left, watching as the ambulance drove off, his fists clenched as his killing intent unfurled.Trevor stood quietly beside him, clearly feeling the air around him cooling.Pow!Crack!Frank sudde
Finn growled, "I'll kill Frank Lawrence, one way or another!"Still, as he calmed down, he suddenly asked, "I didn't think he would bring that many martial elites. Do you know who was helping him?""No, sir…" His henchman replied."So it seems that he has backing." Finn snorted in self-blame. "It seems that I've underestimated him."The henchman then said, "Actually, sir, I think the priority is to get out of Riverton. Frank Lawrence's people must be looking for us, and it seems that they don't want us to leave. We should return to Middleton for now. It won't be too late to plan that man's demise after.""Yeah." Finn nodded in agreement and sighed exasperatedly. "I've already contacted Uncle Jermain—he has a boat waiting for us."His two remaining henchmen breathed a sigh of relief at that.It was clear they were no match for Frank given their numbers, and it was fortunate that Finn was not stubborn enough to stay in Riverton, or they would both be dead.Unbeknownst to the trio
