Chapter 993
Frank did not even flinch as he watched Willy cackle hysterically, and he asked calmly, “So, are you done?”
“Eh?”
Willy was taken aback by Frank’s unaffected reaction, even asking blankly, “Aren’t you scared? I know everything about you and your family in Riverton-Oof!”
Willy could not even scream as Frank punched his lower jaw, pulverizing everything including his teeth into mush.
All he could do was writhe around the floor in sheer pain.
“Maybe…”
Frank remained impassive as he watched him convulse, speaking calmly, “Maybe my family will suffer like you threatened, but I’ll do all I can to stop it before that. If it’s a war you Soranos want, I wouldn’t mind showing my chops and bathing your house in blood.”
“Insolence!”
An elderly man in a white suit emerged from the door behind Frank just then, glancing at Willy before glaring furiously at Frank. “Bathe my house in blood?! Such bold words! Now state your name!”
Gus Zeller then entered as well and did a double take in confusion when he saw Frank.
“What?” he blurted-all he was told was that someone had barged into Sorano Estate, and he rushed over post-haste.
He did not expect to see Frank at all… Did that mean he was the intruder?!
“The name is Frank Lawrence, and I’ve been waiting.” Frank stood his ground, his gaze wary even as studied the man in white.
His pure vigor was palpable and exuberant-he had to be halfway up Ascendant rank or higher.
In other words, he meant trouble.
“Granduncle…”
Willy’s eyes lit up hopefully when he saw the man in white and started to crawl toward him even as he bawled unintelligibly, “Help me, Granduncle! T-That bastard barged into our home and tried to kill me… You have to help me-”
Naturally, Frank did not allow Willy to leave.
Frank stomped his foot on Willy’s knees, preventing him from moving even as he screamed, “Please, Granduncle! Save me!”
Tony Sorano’s eyes bulged in rage at the sight of his grandnephew’s abuse and humiliation.
Pointing at Frank, he bellowed, “I don’t care where you came from. You’ve intruded upon Sorano property and hurt a child of the family. You’ll die where you stand! Let go of my grandnephew, and I’ll let you die with dignity!”
“One moment.”
Gus strode out just then, nodding at Tony as he stood between Frank and Tony to mediate.
Frowning at Frank, he asked, “Why have you intruded upon Sorano Estate and attacked Willy? There must surely be a reason, and I’d like to understand the situation.”
“That’s not fair, Gus!” Willy snapped even as he lay sprawled on the floor, struggling against Frank’s restraint.
He could hear his kneecaps cracking under the pressure of Frank’s foot-if this continued, they would break!
“I bear you no ill will, Mr. Sorano,” Gus retorted firmly. “How am I being petty against you? If anything, it does the Sorano family no good to start a fight without knowing why. After all, we’re talking about a martial elite who’s clearly outraged enough to charge into our own turf.”
