Mrs. Zeig was terrified too—she had never seen such savagery on Wilk's face.Naturally, she was not about to refuse her boss, and she pressed the button in the drawing room to open the steel gates.A rowdy ruckus ensued, and Wilk smiled even as the ruckus closed in. Wheeling on Frank, he bellowed ferociously, "Trying to scare me, huh?! Who do you think you are?! If you mess with me, then you're messing with the Sunblazers and the Jankos! Let's see what connections you have to protect you now!"Frank simply shook his head in disappointment, even throwing Wilk a sympathetic look.Bang!The front doors of the mansion were opened just then, and a youth in a suit led a large gang.He wore shades, had a cigarette between his lips while carrying a metal bat, clearly the pompous type."Wilk Sturgeon. Did you have to take that long to open the gates? Also, who dares to mess around in your house?"Even as the youth in the suit asked his question, over twenty goons with shades strode in
Wilk was left clutching his face and staring at Cid in disbelief. "What? Cid…? Why did you hit me?""Hit you?! I was planning to kill you!"Bang!Cid leapt up, seizing Wilk by the collar and slamming him into his oak dining table!It was such a terrible blow that Wilk was coughing blood, his vision blurring.Still, even as he pushed himself off the ground, he was left staring forward in shock before he could say a word.Cid was beckoning at the Sunblazers, and they were all soon kneeling in front of Frank."Greetings, Mr. Lawrence!"As they all greeted him deafeningly, Wilk, who just got to his feet, dropped limply to the floor again, all his strength drained."Mr. Lawrence? What…"He stared in shock at the scene before him—who on earth was that pompous bastard?!Why would the Sunblazers—who always carried themselves above the rest—be on their knees, greeting that man with pure reverence?!That was when Wilk remembered Frank looking at him with gleeful sympathy and reasoned
Mrs. Sturgeon could not care less as she blurted at Cid, "You weren't like that when you were in my bed!""What?!"Wilk was left thunderstruck at those words—his wife did what?!His vision darkened right then, and he almost fainted.He finally realized why the Sunblazers were so enthusiastically protecting them before… because his wife is cheating on him with their underboss!Even as Mrs. Sturgeon continued to hound Cid, Cid was glancing at Frank awkwardly.He was no fool—there was no need to hesitate when it came to picking between Frank and his lover.Who was he kidding? If he helped that woman against Frank, he would die a million times over!Even if he managed to escape with Mrs. Sturgeon now by some stroke of luck, his own brother Hux Darman would punish him when he returned to the Sunbalzers.In fact, while he appeared to be choosing between his lover and Frank Lawrence, he was really choosing between life and death.One could have all the lovers they wanted, but they c
Cid naturally had no argument since Frank had put it that way.Now that the truth was out anyway, he was not getting back together with Mrs. Sturgeon, which meant her family and his Sunblazers were going their separate ways now.Even as his lover begged her relentlessly, all Cid had to tell her was, "Get out of here!"Seeing that pleading would not work with Cid, and since she was afraid to ask Frank, Mrs. Sturgeron turned toward Kat. "Please, girlie… It was all just a mistake. Could you please ask your mentor to return my son's kidney? I can give him anything in exchange!"She had no idea Kat was the one person who hated the Sturgeons the most in the room.With a glare of contempt, Kat chuckled coolly. "Your son's kidney? We made it very clear to you that it's Lauren's kidney. He donated it to your son out of kindness, but what did you Sturgeons do? Have you shown him an ounce of respect? Well, Master Lawrence and I are reasonable people, so we returned your 500 grand. Don't even
Jim Loggins' grandfather was the famous Abel Loggins, but Jim was addressing Frank as grandmaster?!Cid rubbed his temples as he felt thoroughly astonished by Frank's status."Get to the room down the hallway and the room upstairs." Frank was pointing Jim where to go. "I stitched them up with pure vigor, and that takes centuries-old natural wonders to maintain it. The one in the room down the hallway is named Lauren Floss—I'll foot the bill for any medical fees, but the Sturgeons will pay for the patient upstairs."Jim flinched at the way Frank described something so horrific and appeared even more humble just then.At the same time, his imagination was running wild.First and foremost, he had definitely heard Frank saying that he had stitched up incisions with pure vigor. Was that really possible? Did that not make Draconian traditional medicine even more ridiculous?And to maintain the pure vigor with century-old herbs and have the incisions heal in a week? It was simply ri
"What? Oh, I understand."Cid quickly patted himself on the chest, assuring Frank that it was as good as done.Kat was relieved to have the Sunblazers' underboss assurance too.After Cid escorted them away, he turned toward Kali with an awkward smile. "Shall we go, Ms. Sturgeon?""Go? Where to?"Kali had been peeking at the drawing room from the kitchen, and her soul almost left her when she saw Cid turning his attention to her.After all, the Sunblazers were killers! Anyone who fell to his hand would never cheat death."Let's just get you out of here for now," Cid replied. "Oh, and Mr. Lawrence said that I should help you, so you'll be an underboss of the Sunblazers now.""Eh? What? Why?!"Kali flinched at Cid's words—she was going to be an underboss to these murderers?!"What? Do you have a problem with that, Ms. Sturgeon?" Cid was smiling, but from Kali's panicked perspective, he could well be threatening her!"Oh, no, of course not." Kali shook her head repeatedly to s
With a solemn tone, Kat announced, "Master Lawrence, I am thoroughly indebted to you. And since I have no way of repaying you, you can have my body in return.""Hmm…?"The ladies around the dining table—Helen, Winter, and Mona Fairfax—were quickly leveling her hostile glares."W-What are you staring at me for?" Kat scratched her head, getting uncomfortable from the stares. "Aren't teacher-student relationships allowed here?""Teacher-student relationships… What are you even talking about?!"Frank choked and glared viciously at Kat before turning toward her father Nash. "You should straighten your daughter out, sir.""What?" Nash simply chuckled. "She's grown up now, and she can make her own decisions. I've made up my mind now—as her father, I should be supportive of her choices.""Dad!" Kat exclaimed, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Nash."Hehe…" Nash gave her a happy look in turn, clearly not repulsed by the idea of her hooking up with Frank.While he was wa
"Just calm down for now…"Frank mentioned his suspicions after thinking about it. "How did those saboteurs know the time and location where the equipment would be moved? Have you considered that?""I did!"Noel was certainly sharp after working in showbiz for years and caught on to Frank's hint in an instant.After all, the only reason this could have happened was that there was a mole, who leaked when and where the imported equipment would be transported, or those saboteurs would never have reached them so easily."But…" Noel soon trailed off awkwardly. "Since the company is expanding rapidly, we've had to recruit plenty of new personnel, and there's no eliminating the fact that there are moles already on the inside.""I'm coming over. Let's talk when I get there," Frank said, hanging up and driving straight to a spacious park district.Lanecorp had purchased the entire district and were in the midst of building various facilities. There were studios for filming and audio rec
