Chapter 1009
Just as Frank had expected, the key members of the Sorano family all entered Nash’s ward in a tidy formation.
Thanks to Frank pulling some strings, Jim Loggins had arranged the best ward for Nash. Even after over a dozen key members of the Sorano family and Willy’s stretcher were brought in, it was not at all congested.
“Master Lawrence…?” Kat was left dumbstruck, watching as the huge group of people suddenly filed into her father’s ward.
“Stay calm,” Frank assured her, perfectly used to such occasions.
Rising to his feet, he strode up to Emilio and asked quietly, “So, have you made up your mind? Will it be war, or will Willy be kowtowing in apology?” “What?!” Kat exclaimed and quickly clasped a hand over her own mouth.
These people really were the Soranos?!
And the middle-aged man had such a different air to him…
Kat suddenly remembered that she saw him on the papers and TV, and that the man was a big deal, though she could not remember his name. In fact, she did not recognize anyone else, aside from the man who lay on the stretcher, writhing.
It was Willy!
“What?!” she exclaimed again, and suddenly remembered what Frank had said that he would make the Soranos come over to apologize. “Wait… He wasn’t lying? It’s all real?!” Kat felt the world spin around her and almost collapsed.
She was blunt and fearless, but even she could understand the might of the Four Families of Morhen and the authority the men before her embodied. She already thought that it was ridiculous for Frank to be consulted by the Jankos, and yet, here he was, making the Soranos come to apologize personally.
Who the hell was he?!
Kat turned toward her father who lay on his sickbed and saw the equally blank on his face.
After all, Nash could see the same man who tortured him was lying on a stretcher, his face contorted in anguish.
Just then, one of the Sorano executives had enough of Frank’s attitude. “Watch yourself, kid. We’re the Soranos, and-”
Emilio suddenly raised his hand, stopping him.
“Haha.” He chuckled genially. “We have indeed made a mistake, Mr. Lawrence.”
Kat and Nash’s eyes widened so much their eyeballs could drop off.
The Soranos were really yielding to Frank?!
–
“What?!”
Matis and Mel, who had been eavesdropping outside, turned pale as they traded glances.
Matis could hardly believe his eyes when they saw the Soranos file into Nash’s ward, and now, he heard in no uncertain terms what Emitio himself had said.
He froze, thunderstruck, while his mother was grimacing so much she could cry. “Oh, no, no, no…”
She immediately realized that everything Frank said was real.
That man had the might to make the soranos pologize… and that meant he was far scarier than the soranos, more than what they could imagine!
Against such power, they were less than maggots!
“Matis! What are we going to do?! What can we do?!” Mel exclaimed in panic, remembering how much they had mocked and belittled Frank in order to pressure Nash.
