Chapter 171
“What?!” James exclaimed, his expression stiffening as he turned toward Frank.
That brat… How on earth did he become Robert’s son-in–law?!
“So you’re going to protect him at all costs?” he growled.
“Yes,” Robert said sternly. “He’s not to be touched. Whatever you want in return, just name it
but understand that your family will be no friend of ours from now on, nor are any welcomed here in Skywater Bay.”
of you
James glowered. “You’re really cutting ties with my family over Frank Lawrence? Do you really think that’s worth it?”
“Absolutely.” Robert nodded. “From where I’m standing, he’s worth ten of you.”
“Hmph!” James snorted. “Then you’ve truly underestimated me. I don’t mind telling you that I just expanded my business to Middleton–the powers that be of Riverton might not be able to stop us!”
Frank and Robert both frowned, surprised that the Wesleys worked quick enough to extend their business to Middleton.
After all, Middleton was a far larger state and could even be considered the heart of the country. In many ways, the place was more important than Riverton.
In fact, any Rivertonian who wanted to expand their business to Middleton needed the help of Middletonians.
James smiled smugly when he saw Frank and Robert’s reactions.
However, that was when someone bellowed, “Middleton? So what? This is Riverton! If you’re such a big deal, why don’t you bring your Middletonian friends over? Even they would have to abide by the rules here!”
Everyone turned in surprise to find another group entering the mansion, with a man in his forties leading them.
It was Kenny Sparks, master of Skyblade Dojo–the strongest faction of Riverton!
James froze in turn–why did Kenny come too?!
“What are you saying, Mr. Sparks?” he asked.
Kenny, who lived here in Skywater Bay as well, came to take a look after spotting the commotion.
He was actually surprised to find that Frank was involved.
Given that he was still eager to get the recipe for the Ichor Pill from Frank, he certainly would not allow James to kill Frank!
“I’m saying that Mr. Lawrence is my friend,” he said, shrugging. “If you want him, you and your men would have to get past me first.”
He then leveled a pointed stare of contempt at the bodyguards James brought, who were trading glances at his words.
Chapter 1
Everyone in Riverton had heard of Kenny’s abilities, especially how masterfully he wielded his blade like it was an extra arın.
These bodyguards were certainly no match for him!
James was left clenching his knuckles and gritting his teeth–he did not think that even the master of Skyblade Dojo would b
on Frank’s sidel
The Quills, the Turnbulls, and now Skyblade Dojo… each of those three factions were already untouchable for James.
Now that they were all backing Frank, James was even less significant in comparison. To kill that man was virtually impossible now!
“Fine–I will remember this,” he growled and barked at his men, “Let’s go!”
The bodyguards promptly picked up Sean’s corpse before making themselves scarce.
They certainly felt lucky–thank goodness their boss knew when to back down, or they would all be killed if they fought the Quills and Skyblade Dojo right now!
