Chapter 966
“Okay.” Helen nodded tamely.
“Hey, are you deaf, kid? Didn’t you hear me?” Brody strode up, shoving Frank right then.
“It’s okay, boss. Must be deaf and blind.” One of his goons hurried forward to keep the peace.
“S-Shut up!” Brody slapped him across the face, snapping angrily, “I’m not blind or deaf! You don’t have to tell me!”
On the other hand, Frank did not attack right away despite being shoved, only saying coolly, “Leave before I get angry, or you’ll all die here.”
His threat left Brody laughing, and he pointed at himself as he snorted. “Hey, are you really blind? There’s so many of us, and you’re telling us to leave? You should be leaving right now-but your girlfriend stays!”
“Urgh, we had to run into some imbeciles.” Frank sighed, clenching his fist. “Last chance. Leave now, all of you.”
As he slowly looked up, his eyes flashing murderously, several of the thugs were flinching in terror.
One of them said, “Brody, I-I don’t think we should mess with him. Why don’t we just-”
“Shut up!” Brody snapped angrily. “There’s over ten of us, and one of him! What is he going to do… Eh?”
He was just about to finish when he turned and found a fist coming straight at his face.
Even before Brody realized what was happening, he felt an agony over his face as his body suddenly turned light.
As Brody’s goons looked on in shock, he was sent flying, his head crashing on the door hinges and bleeding profusely. Two of his protruding front teeth were knocked out too.
“So? Are you going to get payback for your boss?” Frank asked he strode up, leaving the goons petrified, and they immediately fled, carrying Brody with them.
They were actually the lowest in the hierarchy of gangsters, only ever bullying students or women.
A man who showed a little spine was enough to send them packing.
“Scum.” Frank snorted and returned to his seat.
“Let me take a look,” Helen said, taking his hand and sighing in relief when she saw no injuries.
“What?” Frank teased. “Is that concern I hear? Where did the ice queen go?”
Helen rolled her eyes, staying silent for a long while before asking, “How many times has it been since you protected me like this?” “I’m not sure.” Frank shook his head.
“Countless.” Helen mused to herself and eventually nodded, leaning on his shoulder affectionately. “There’s no one else we know here, whether it’s my mom or Vicky… And I’m not here for business. So may I be frank with you?”
