“Oh, what a pathetic bunch…” Vicky sighed as she suddenly remembered everything Sif said to her downstairs.
“The geezers of the Turnbull family would never dare turn against us Lionhearts! I’ve looked into your family-none of them would even give a damn if you die here. All they care about is protecting their precious wealth, while living in fear of the day we Lionhearts would come for them!”
Vicky’s heart bled even as she laughed at the thought-how could her family be so short-sighted?
Endless compromising and never stepping up against their enemies, all in the name of self-gain. What was that if not handing their enemies rope to hang them with?
They felt nothing even if Titus was exposed for his savage ambition, rather living one day at a time.
Likewise, they never showed any gratitude, not even if Frank saved them from the literal lion’s jaws.
“Mongrels,” Vicky swore under her breath.
“What was that?” Jet thought he misheard.
“I called you a mongrel!” Vicky snapped at him in the face right then. “All of you! Mongrels! Ingrates who bite the hands that feed you! Go to hell!”
“Jet…”
Frank strode up to Jet, impassive as he clapped the man at the shoulder and pointed at Sif in the distance, as well as the two injured bodyguards with her. “You still can do something here. Wipe out every Lionheart you see, or they will always remain a thorn in your side!”
One of the other Turnbull blackguards was immediately scoffing. “You’re so full of it, Frank Lawrence. You’re no Turnbull-you don’t get to order us around!”
“If we kill them like you say, can you bear the consequences?”
“I can!” Frank bellowed, wheeling on him.
However, he aggravated the wound on his chest again and coughed another mouthful of blood while more trickled down his nostrils.
But he could not care less!
Vicky hurried to Frank right then,
helping him to his feet while
snapping at Jet, “Frank can’t tel
what to do, but I can! Go! Kill Sif and her bodyguards now!”
The Turnbull blackguards turned toward Jet right then, waiting for orders, only for him to shake his head while Vicky looked on in disbelief.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that,” Jet explained. “If we kill Ms. Lionheart here, there would truly be no way out for the family. This is for the good of the family.”
“Jet…” Vicky choked right then and fell unconscious on the floor from sheer frustration.
“Pick her up,” Jet told the other Turnbull blackguards right then. “We’re leaving.”
“Yes, sir!”
The other Turnbull blackguards promptly carried Vicky away, leaving Frank swearing under his breath. “Motherfucker…”
He was too hurt to fight the blackguards!
“Hahaha!!!”
Sif, who had been watching the entire exchange, laughed in deafening contempt right then. “Aren’t you upset, Frank?! I’m right here! Kilt me if you can! But none of them would dare touch me, because they know the might of the
Lionhearts!”
Then, leveling Frank a venomous glare, she sneered. “As long as my family thrives, I swear I will return all the pain I suffered back to you tenfold!”
