Seeing that Damon had Vicky, Frank did not hesitate. "Deal."His quick response actually left Damon taken aback. "Are you sure, kid? Were you really listening to what I'm saying?"Despite his nonchalant expression, his eyes were glued to Frank, as if to read what was really on Frank's mind."I am, though I have a condition in return," Frank said and pointed at Vicky. "I'm not interested in the Turnbulls' affairs, but the Lionhearts are not to bother Vicky's immediate family in Riverton.""Sure." Damon nodded, but he soon snorted.Both his eyes and Frank's narrowed, reading each other's intentions right then.Damon was just using Vicky to divert Frank's attention and find an opening, while Frank was just responding haphazardly in his attempt to get Vicky back.For Frank's part, he could see that the old man was more than met the eye, and the fact that he easily agreed to Frank's request meant he was at minimum a Lionheart executive.On the other hand, Damon was narrowing his eye

A old man in Draconia's military uniform emerged from the darkness, laughing raspily. "Hehehe…""What…" Frank struggled to get up despite the agony of his broken ribs, as he recognized the geezer right then.He was Frank's father, worshiped and admired across Draconia, and the bane of Talnam—the Lord of the Southern Woods!"What are you doing here?!" Damon was actually panicking, even fearful as he stared at the rows of military medals adorning Godwin Lawrence's jacket.It was certainly unusual for a peak Ascendant rank to react like that, especially when he was so nonchalant when he first showed up.And he was a man whose power was above question, too!"Hehe. I'm just taking a stroll before I kick the bucket," Godwin said calmly, a slight smile showing on his lips as if recounting the good old days with a friend.Damon kept backing away until he felt his back reach a wall. "Don't you remember the agreement you signed three years ago?!" Damon snapped, but he was glaring warily

Vicky breathed a sigh of relief when Frank appeared, but Jet and the other Turnbull blackguards were immediately snapping at him."What have you been doing, Frank Lawrence?!""Why weren't you protecting Ms. Turnbull?! What were you doing down there by yourself?!"Frank was so shocked by their accusations that his vigor churned, aggravating his blood and causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood."Are you alright, Frank?!" A petrified Vicky hurried to his side before wheeling on Jet and the other Turnbull blackguards with a furious glare."How many times do I have to tell you?!" she bellowed. "Frank was fighting one of the Lionhearts' best, and none of you helped him! And you're now snapping at him after he won?!""Forgive me, Ms. Turnbull, but we're supposed to prioritize your safety," Jet replied, frowning and clearly upset that Frank was alive.In fact, Frank vaguely sensed his look of disappointment when he stepped out of the elevator."Heh. Well, that's not important." F

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

"Hux… Nevermind."Frank grinned—he certainly could see that Hux was ready to flee. "You won't regret this.""Oh, I hope so." Hux flashed a terrible smile before fleeing with his men, leaving Jet and the Turnbull blackguards, and what remained of Sif and her bodyguards.Jet charged toward Frank right then and seized Frank by the collar as he bellowed, "Who were those people?! Tell me right now!!!"He would not be surprised if the fallout of Sif's death fell upon him and the Turnbull blackguards, since no one would believe some thugs passing by would suddenly murder a Lionheart.If anything, they would be further convinced it was the Turnbull blackguards, and Frank's move had undoubtedly landed them in hot water. None of them could explain themselves, especially if the Turnbull elders questioned them!"Hahaha…"On the other hand, Frank was laughing gleefully at Jet's flustered face, shaking his head. "Used to being a loser, aren't you? Do you think everyone's the same as you sucke
