“J-Just you wait!” Bob and Rob bellowed, but they quickly scrambled to flee the office building.
On the other hand, Zorn felt a chill down his spine when Frank parried his blow.
“He’s a martial artist too?” he murmured to himself. “Why didn’t I sense his vigor?”
Moreover, he could see that Frank was used to fighting as he dispatched Rob and Bob in no time at all. He was certainly convinced earlier that Frank was just an average Joe, but he now actually sensed a formless pressure that Frank projected around him.
The pressure left Zorn wary, and he was suddenly unsure if he could beat Frank.
Such might despite his youth certainly left him wondering where he was from.
Narrowing his eyes, Zorn backed down and asked, “May I ask what clan or sect you’re from?”
Frank, however, shook his head and said quietly, “I’m just a nobody. So? Are we going to continue? I’m not going to hold back if you do, and you’ll have to face the consequences of your own actions.” Zorn stared at Frank warily but ultimately withdrew his vigor.
He was inherently mistrustful and would avoid unnecessary confrontation if he could.
“I’ll let you go this one time,” he bellowed. “But I won’t hold back if you try to pull another scam in Mr. Pearce’s name!”
Frank snorted coolly and left Drenam Limited with Helen.
Along the way, Cindy was yapping endlessly. “Tut, tut. It’s not like I want to tell you again, but if you keep
Frank Lawrence around, you’ll
eventually run out of luck. I meanet
we weren’t rich before, but life was
calm until that jinx came to our family, right? The way I see it, he’d
really get us killed the next time this happens.”
“Cut it out already!” Helen snapped at her, frowning.
“No, I have to keep telling you.” Cindy even leveled a gloating look at Frank. “Kill me if you can. It’s not like my life has meaning, though you’d have trouble explaining yourself to Aunt Gina.” That was when Frank stopped in his tracks. “She’s right, Helen.”
Cindy was caught off guard, as she had expected an outburst from Frank, only for him to agree with her.
Helen was even more shocked too!
At the same time, Frank remained impassive as he continued, “You’d face even more danger if we stay together. Let’s just split up… okay?”
Helen was taken aback but soon wrinkled her brow. “If It’s about what happened today, I-“
“That’s not it.” Frank sighed, his eyes
earnest as he looked into hers. “There will be worse enemies if you stay with me, and things I can’t handle. Let’s just part ways before you get in deeper, okay?” S
“Alright!” Cindy was beaming, pulling Helen by the wrist in delight. “We wanted you gone for so long, Frank Lawrence Nt’s your fault Aunt Gina’s always so worried about Helen that she can’t sleep at night. It’s good now that you found your
conscience. I guess we did
no
something by letting you freeload off us for three years.”
