On the other hand, Frank was scowling when he saw Zorn.
His first thought was that Gene had betrayed him, but he soon realized that it was impossible.
After all, Gene knew that Rory and Zorn were conspiring to kill him. He would never betray Frank unless he was stupid, and he did not become the richest man on the east coast by being stupid.
On the other hand, Zorn was glowering in realization and barked, “I get it now! You’re trying to take advantage of Mr. Pearce while he’s sick, aren’t you?!”
“What?”
Helen frowned alongside Frank.
She trusted Frank, but the fact that Gene’s valet did not know about the deed transfer made Frank look like a liar, and now exposed. And now, Frank was even accused of taking advantage of Gene’s illness… “Frank, why don’t we leave for now? We can come back again later,” she said, tugging on Frank’s arm and offering him a way out.
Frank had every intention to do so too, as he would like to ask Gene in person what the heck was going on.
Or maybe Zorn and Rory saw through his pretense and killed him directly?
“Hahaha! Can’t say a word now, can you?” Cindy was still roaring with laughter, clutching her belly. “You could say that you and Gene Pearce had a private agreement, but his valet doesn’t even know!” Frank certainly wanted to tell her that it was what happened, but he simply shook his head because Zorn was there.
However, just as he was pulling Helen along to leave, Zorn suddenly strode up, standing in his way. “Hold it! Did you think you could pull a scam with Mr. Pearce’s name and leave unpunished?!” The air around Zorn seemed to stiffen, and Frank’s eyes narrowed.
He looked like your typical middle-aged manservant, but was actually

Still, Frank snorted as he shielded Helen behind himself and glowered. “So what? What are you going to do about that?”
Bob strode up smugly right then.
“We’ll break your arm as punishment. If you want to make this easy, do it yourself, then you can
leave!” s
“What if I refuse?” Frank stood his ground, his expression cool.
“Then you’re asking for it!” Zorn laughed coldly, suddenly projecting his black and white vigor before himself.
“Hmm? The Dyadese form?” Frank was surprised by the pure vigor Zorn projected.
“Oh, so you know what this is? I guess you’re not leaving now!”
Zorn bellowed, and lunged at Frank while shouting at Rob and Bob, “Go! Take those women!”
“Yes, Mr. Woss!”
Rob and Bob promptly charged toward Helen at Zorn’s orders.
Pow!
However, Frank easily parried Zorn’s outstretched palm with his forearm.
Then, instead of countering Zorn’s blow, he leapt toward Rob and Bob
before they could reach Helen, slapping them in the face and knocking them down. S
“Fuck off!” he bellowed, leaving both men petrified.
