The dramatic entrance of the goons left everyone stunned.
However, it was clear that Kallum had arranged for them to wait near the conference room, then charge inside once he gave the signal and kill everyone. The board members who had just turned against him became pale at the sight, even as they felt pangs of danger.
Kallum was laughing loudly in turn, as if everyone there was beneath him.
“Don’t worry, Helen.” He gloated. “You won’t die alone these spineless vermin are coming with you! Keep dreaming big when you’re dead, boys! Hahaha!!!” Unexpectedly, Helen did not panic even as she watched the goons charge in.
In fact, she was sneering. “Don’t you think you’re being naive here, Mr. Gaetz? Did you really think I wasn’t ready for a fight? Of course I expected this!”
On one hand, she was offering the panicky board members assurance so they did not have to change sides again.
On the other, she was attempting to intimidate Kallum, but he was not falling for it at all.
In fact, he sneered. “I don’t doubt that you have some sort of trump card, Ms. Lane, but are you really pinning your hopes on your pretty boy secretary over there?”
He was staring pointedly at Frank, whom he presumed to be Helen’s secretary.
Frank had to look left and right before pointing at himself in surprise. “By pretty boy secretary, do you mean me?”
Kallum completely ignored him and kept laughing viciously. “I’m sure you never expected me to arrange for an ambush beforehand, did you? Bluffing doesn’t work here! And since you refuse to cooperate, there’s nothing more to discuss-go! Kill everyone in this room this instant before they can pull something out of their ass!”
From a certain point of view, Kallum was impressive as he knew it was important to attack quickly and deny his opponents a chance to fight back.

“Die!”
One of the goons leapt forward before the others, leaping over the table toward Helen, machete in hand.
Helen backed away and nodded exasperatedly at Frank-they must pacify the situation at hand, and anything else could wait.
Frank cleared his throat just then.

Then, he moved like a ghost, suddenly in front of Helen as he kicked the goon leaping toward her.
Clang!
The goon crashed out of the window, and a cool gale immediately rushed inside.
As the conference room was twenty floors above, the screams of the goon was especially harrowing.
“What?! The health and safety department?!”
Seeing Frank’s brisk kick, a look of surprise showed on Kallum’s earlier triumphant face.
And he had never even heard of the health and safety department!
