Sif kept bellowing, “You, Vicky Turnbull… Everyone around you! None of them will be spared, I swear!”
Her threat left Frank incensed, and he turned to bellow at Jet, “You heard that, didn’t you?! Aren’t you blackguards supposed to protect the Turnbull family?! Sif is threatening to hurt them, and you’re just standing there?! Is your brain smooth or something?!”
Jet, however, remained unmoved. “That’s your personal grudge against Ms. Lionheart. I’m afraid you’ve made the wrong move if you’re planning to use us against her.”
“Shit!” Frank bellowed furiously, wanting nothing less to round up the Turnbull blackguards and burn them. “You’re not going to fight back even if your enemy has a blade against your neck?! When are you going to do it-after they stab you half to death?!”
His words did not sway Jet at all, and he even shook his head. “The blackguards carry out orders of the Turnbull family-not you, a person of no consequence. If I were you, I’d really stop flailing around like you’re doing now. It’s just embarrassing.”
With that, Jet and the Turnbull blackguards left the building, while Frank remained alone, leaning against the wall.
Crack.
His fingers clenched, crushing a corner of the wall.
“Hahaha!!!” Sif was still laughing, her voice especially stinging to Frank’s ears.
That was when a familiar face appeared before Frank.
It was the Sunblazers’ Hux Darman, who was musing to himself, “What the hell? Y’all told me there’s an earthquake, but everything’s fine!”
Frank felt a wild pang of joy when he saw the man.
Hux saw Frank too, and he hurried to him. “Oh, Mr. Lawrence! When did you come to Morhen? You really could’ve called…”
Seeing that Hux was going to make
small
Frank held up a hand
stop him, and pointed at Sif in the
distance despite his pain. “Kill them!”
“What?!” Hux exclaimed. “Wait, they’re the ones who hurt you?! The inhumanity!”
A mobster to the last, Hux quickly called in his men, and over a hundred goons charged into the room, surrounding it. “What’s up, boss?!”
“Did someone just fuck around on the Sunblazers’ turf?!”
While Frank would usually be snorting at these goons in disdain, he was grinning now as if they were the greatest Christmas present there ever was.
“Go!” Hux bellowed.
“Yes, boss!”
“Take them down!”
At Hux’s orders, the goons charged at Sif and her bodyguards without hesitation, machete and metal bats in hand.
Seeing that Frank had suddenly called in the calvary, Sif’s bodyguards certainly did not drag their feet and did their best to flee.
However, they were all too hurt to move quickly, and Sif was literally dead weight.
As the Sunblazers soon caught up,
one of the bodyguards stiffened himself and exclaimed, “This won’t do, Ms. Lonheart! I think I can make it out if I’m on my own-I’ll inform your brother as soon as I can and ask him to send help! They would never dare to hurt you anyway!”
“Shut the fuck up!” Sif almost choked at the man’s suggestion.
