Ch. 1461..1470

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1461-"What did you say?!"

Kain was shocked, but he ignored what Frank was saying and only cared that he insulted his brother.

"I'll repeat myself since you missed it, just because I'm nice."

Frank looked around, glowering as he said, "You're all invited by the Turnbulls to fight against the South Sea Crow. I don't want to affect morale by killing anyone here." "What?! Hahaha!!!"

Kain was surprised Frank actually repeated himself and roared with thunderous laughter.

On the other hand, everyone around them was pursing their lips and shooting Frank awkward looks.

Sure, everyone invited here were martial elites from across the country. Most of them Birthright rank, none of them including Til or Kain could sense Frank's vigor.

That meant he was not a martial artist, and such a martial artist was threatening Kain-and by extension everyone else as they watched.

He was not just suicidal-the man was a joke!

Did he think they would not see through him? What, was he so strong that even Kain could not tell?

Till was glowering nearby too-even if Glen Turnbull repeatedly insisted Frank was a powerful martial artist, reality would always beat hearsay, and he certainly did not sense anything of the like from him. That was why Frank's words left him at once exasperated, humiliated, and even annoyed.

Why would Vicky fall for such a joke?

And the more Til thought about, the more he felt indignant for her sake.

At the same time, Joven was snarling through his teeth, "That brat is too much, Kain! He was shooting me the same look when I ran into him yesterday. You have to straighten him out!"

"Oh, don't worry. When haven't I stood up for you?"

Kain laughed savagely and grinned as he turned toward Vicky. "B-I mean, Ms. Turnbull-that's the manwhore you picked? Why don't you just come quietly with me, relax in a room for half a day, and #just demand one arm of your fiance but spare his life? How about that?"

While Vicky glowered at his words, she still did not look his way and snapped, "Fuck off."

Kain remained unperturbed, chuckling coolly, "Well, since you refuse, your manwhore will be resting… in pieces! Why don't you sleep on it?" "Insolence!"

Glen sprang to his feet, glowering as he bellowed, "What do you take my family and my niece for?! This is our house, not Cloudnine Sect!" "Really? So what? I'm talking terms calmly here, but if you push me too far…"

Kain shot Glen with an unconcerned look, but his gaze turned murderous as he bared his fangs in a sneer. "I don't mind killing you right here and now, Mr. Turnbull."

"What?!" Glen was left shaking with rage.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1462-Kain was truly a mad dog who would keep chasing and biting anything in sight without regard for rules or obligations. "Stand back, Mr. Turnbull."

Frank strode between Glen and Kain, staring fixedly at the burly man as he knew there was no chance for negotiations now. "Misbehaving in Turnbull Estate and insulting my woman more than once? It seems that you really want to die."

He once again caught Kain by surprise, but he was soon laughing loudly and savagely. "You really can talk tough, kid! Did you think your bluff would work?! You're obviously just a normal person! We're all martial artists here, and we could tell right away you're just bluffing like a clown. I guess the Turnbulls really have no one else to turn too, huh?"

His words sent the crowd abuzz, most of them agreeing with Kain as they saw that Frank had no training and was just bluffing.

"Don't overreach," Til said as he strode over. "Kain has gained notoriety over the years for his savagery, and you won't survive if you piss him off."

"Why bother, Til?" Kiki snorted as she stood in the distance. "He's standing up for his fiancee-just let him put up a proper showing for his beloved. It's not we know for sure what's going to happen anyway… I mean, he could actually be a martial elite!"

Til did not argue, instead clapping Frank on the shoulder and sighing. "I know it hurts for a man, but you'd have nothing if you're dead. Word of advice-apologize properly to Kain, and he won't overstep once my mentor arrives."

While it sounded like Til was being nice, he was also clearly telling Frank to save himself by giving up on Vicky, and let Kain have her.

Before Frank could speak, Kain laughed. "Hahaha! Frank Lawrence, was it? At least Til can see things as е they are… So let me have your l.ne woman for half a day, and I will forget your misdeeds. How about that?" "No," Frank replied, sighing and shaking his head as everyone looked on in silence. "I didn't want to kill as everyone looked, but there's no helping it when you're suicidal."

"What…"

Til was stumped, sighing lengthily as Frank refused to listen to him.

Frank then turned to level his eyes square on him, speaking quietly, It's just a difference in opinion. You might be able to let another man defile your woman just to survive, but I refuse to do it."

However, even as he spoke, Kain seized the moment, bellowing as he raised his gigantic machete on high, poised to strike while leaping toward Frank from the back. If the blade struck, Frank would be cut in two.

The women present were screaming as they watched, and even Vicky was clenching her knuckles in the distance.

She believed in Frank's strength, but Kain was infamous as the Wild Blade, and she could not help getting nervous.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1463-"Watch out!" Til shouted when he saw that Kain was brazen enough to blindside Frank, but instead of stopping Kain, his first reaction was to leap away. After all he had a cunning idea right then-if Kain killed Frank, did that not mean that he had a shot with Vicky?

And to be honest, he was not confident he could stop a full-power strike.

However, Frank never panicked-he was even watching Til as he leapt away with aplomb, immediately reading his mind.

If Kain was despicable, Til was himself a hypocrite.

People like him never did anything unless there was something in it for him. In fact, he was confronting Kain earlier just to score brownie points with Vicky. Now, as soon as he saw Kain was bent on killing Frank, he backed away.

"How disappointing," Frank said, shaking his head just as Kain's machete was inches away from his own scalp.

The shockwave from the clean-white blade was billowing over Frank's hair, and Kain could imagine seeing Frank's split in two from his machete.

He even licked his lips in excitement-even if he had killed countless others, he could not resist shouting in the thrill of the deed.

The crowd around them scampered in panic, none of them convinced Frank would survive the tragic death coming for him.

"Stop!" Glen was shouting and wringing his hands, but Kain was locked on, ready to kill Frank.

And yet…

Clang!

A ringing ensued as if from a collision of metals, but Frank did even turn, along his pure vigor to take the blow. along his protest In fact, Kain felt as if he had just tong a machete against a hunk of metal, and hel.net recoil almost split his palm open.

en.snet "What?!" he exclaimed as he stumbled b stumbled backward, almost hel.net dropping his trademark machete to finally stabilize his chur As he looked up at Frank in disbelief, the same went for everyone else too.

They thought it would be another headcount for Kain the Wild Blade, but he missed?!

"How?!" Til was freezing up as well, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Frank was supposed to have no training-even now, he could not sense pure vigor from Frank. Could it really be as Kiki said, that they were too weak to see the depth of Frank's power?! "Blindsiding, huh?"

Frank slowly turned, leaving an impassive look at Kain.

Kain's eyes widened in turn, as he felt the pressure Frank was projecting on him.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1464-Everyone else could not feel the pressure Frank was projecting at all, only that he was only asking Kain a question coolly.

But in Kain's eyes, Frank was now a hundred-meter blood-soaked behemoth, bellowing at him and leaving him pale.

"Shit, what is he?! The pressure he projects is on the level of the chief of our Cloudnine Sect! A Transcendent rank, perhaps? Like one of those ancient monsters who gained immortality?!" While Kain was dumbfounded in fear, his brother Joven never realized his brother was behaving strangely.

"Go, Kain! Gut him!" he exclaimed excitedly. "That brat is asking for it-when you're done with his girl, let me have a turn-"

Bang!

Even before Joven could finish the thought, his head blew up like a watermelon.

Seeing the red and white matter that erupted away, Kain stared blankly at Frank.

He did not even have any idea when Frank moved, but his brother was already dead, and he knew that Frank did it.

"Shit!!!"

"Argh! What the hell?!"

The entire conference hall was sent into pandemonium as Kain's brother was suddenly killed, and none of them even saw how he was killed. "What…"

Til turned in astonishment toward Frank, who remained nonchalant.

And the calmer Frank was, the more shocked and terrified Til was, just as he finally understood why Glen thought so highly of Frank.

The man was a martial elite in the most genuine sense of the word!

The rest of them were not even fit to lick his shoes!

In fact, Til had the feeling that Frank's presence, even as he stood there, could match his mentor ap his mentor's fellow apprentices.

And they were all peak Transcendent ranks!

"What, are you scared now, Kain of the Wild Blade?"

Frank calmly tilted his head and he kept his eyes locked on Kain. "Weren't you getting cocky, demanding my woman and standing up for your brother? Well, he's dead now shouldn't you fly into a rage and attack me for revenge?

Frank's eerily silent words left Kain cringing.

He gulped, his entire body shuddering-he could wild blade all he wanted, but that still depended on who he was up against.

He had looked into the Turnbulls earlier and found out that they did not have any martial elites, which was why he decided to strut.

He just did not expect that Vicky's manwhore slash fiance was the Turnbulls' trump card, and even his moves were an enigma to him.

As such, Kain had no intention for revenge even after seeing his own brother die before his eyes.

After all, he knew that if he breathed so much as another word, he would not fare any better than his brother.

The one who knew his place would always survive, and Kain certainly did.

Seeing that he stood no chance, he threw his machete on the floor and dropped to his knees, prostrating himself before Frank.

"I'm sorry, sir! was out of line… Please forgive me! I'm here under orders of Cloudnine Sect, and I won't do anything other than help the Turnbulls against the… the… right, the South Sea Crow! If you kill me, Cloudnine Sect will come after you!"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1465-"Cloudnine Sect?"

Frank simply regarded Kain with amusement, chuckling coolly. "Did you think I'd be afraid of Cloudnine Sect? Hahaha… You're really underestimating me now, huh?" "I'd never!"

Kain certainly did not dare argue, profoundly afraid of Frank's displeasure as it was his life on the line.

What could he do if Frank killed him right now? Even if Cloudnine Sect might avenge him, what was the point if he was dead?

Seeing Kain's humbled pleas for mercy, everyone including Til and Kiki were left gaping, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The infamous Kain Loom was kowtowing and pleading to Frank like some wretched dog, afraid to speak rudely even after his own brother was killed.

The thought left Til scowling-he was just persuading Frank to give up on Vicky just to get on Kain's good graces.

It turned out that he was the clown all along!

Kiki certainly changed the way she saw Frank too, just as she heard everything Til said.

She was already embarrassed at how her fellow apprentice was so meek against Kain and the shocking reveal Frank gave them.

That alone made Frank so much better-he would stand fast when the going got tough instead of backing down.

In fact, all Til did was use his connections to intimidate Kain.

As soon as he saw that Kain was getting serious, he gave up on his own desires just to survive.

It undoubtedly left Kiki uncomfortable.

In fact, she was suddenly not so sure about trusting the man-if Til faced danger in the future, would he not use her as a meat shield?

"I'll spare your wretched life for now." Frank snorted just then and finally withdrew the pressure he projected on Kain.

Then, looking around at the other martial elites the Turnbulls brought in, he said, "You've all been asked to fight against the South Sea Crow, and not against yourselves. I've said from the start that I didn't want to affect morale, so I hope everyone can work as one over the next few days, instead of having something like this repeat itself."

With that, and ignoring everyone's silence, Frank took Vicky by the hand and led her out of the conference hall.

Along the way, Vicky was sighing exasperatedly. "Urgh, I really don't know what Uncle Glen is thinking. It feels like we've led an entire pack of foxes into the henhouse…"

Frank shrugged and replied vaguely, "I'm sure your uncle is not at ease to vel.net turn them down since most would be connections of the branch families. Also, numbers have advantages despite the disadvantages-it would at least keep the South Sea Crow wary. Either way, we just have to see how things develop."

Vicky then wrapped her hands around his arm, leaning against his shoulder as she giggled coquettishly, "My darling is the strongest, bringing in line all those unruly fellows. Tonight, shall we…"

Frank gulped, noticing Vicky's hint and deliberately exposed cleavage, clearing his throat awkwardly. "It's a vital moment to prepare against the Sea Crow, and she said she's coming in a couple of days later. Let's not get distracted in the South Sea meantime."

However, Vicky could see through Frank's motives right then. "Tch. In the end, you just can't push Helen aside."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1466-However, Vicky could see through Frank's motives right then. "Tch. In the end, you just can't push Helen aside."

Frank simply flashed an awkward smile, not daring to retort.

He had reached a critical moment in his training and became increasingly aware of the importance of retaining his body's essence.

If he stayed a virgin, his Five-Peat Archaeus would improve even more rapidly.

His abstinence was for the sake of his training. Once he truly reached Ascendant rank and became one of Draconia's strongest individuals-when even Simon Lionheart was helpless against him he would truly be relieved. As his Five-Peat Archaeus would no longer be affected, there was no reason for him to stay a virgin.

But right now, he could sense Draconia's storm and was completely focused on training, refusing to be distracted by anything else.

It was also so that he could protect Vicky, Helen, and the rest.

Naturally, it was pointless for Frank to say it anyway, so he would just throw some excuse for them for the time being.

That being said, it would still take great determination to resist a beauty's intimate flirting, though it could count as training.

Still, soon after Frank could feel relief after managing to turn down Vicky's offer with considerable difficulty, he ran into Kat Yego as he returned alone to the luxury guest room Glen arranged for him. She was wearing a small bikini and soaked from head to toe.

She was young, but she was developed where she should be and beat Winter in certain departments.

Most importantly, she was not worried about Frank, even leaping straight toward him and tugging on his arm, asking for him to teach her martial arts.

Frank was a normal, functioning man, and his restraint almost crumbled from the intimate gesture.

He had just escaped Vicky's temptation, and now this brat was following up?

Without another word, he strode into his room and slammed the door shut.

"Hmph!

want to could've said you don't upset it. Did you have to Kat huffed as she miserably outside Frank's Still, just as she was moping, Frank suddenly spoke from inside, "Wear some proper clothes before that."

Kat did a double take and giggled quietly and mischievously as if he could see the awkward look on Frank's face. "Master Lawrence, don't tell me… Hehe!"

"Brat."

Frank rubbed his temples inside his room.

Just as Frank opened his windows. for a a breather, he inadvertently savet a stunning figure getting figure getting changed behind the opposite window He froze right then, and the person seemingly intent on ensuring that Frank was watching-turned and wink at him.

Naturally, said person was Vicky.

Frank himself requested that she stay in the room beside him, for the sake of her safety.

After all, the South Sea Crow might attack at any moment.

And with this new South Sea Crow, whose identity was unknown, she could gain full leverage against Frank by taking Vicky hostage.

He just did not expect Vicky to be such a schemer, seducing him like this when she could not break Frank earlier.

Whoosh!

Frank promptly drew up the curtains, but he could vaguely hear the bell-like laughter from the other side of the window.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1467-Frank was staying at Turnbull Estate over the next couple days.

He taught Kat martial arts whenever he had the time, basically treating her as his apprentice, even teaching her the full version of the Five-Peat Archaeus.

It was only by becoming stronger that she would be able to protect herself, or even help Frank protect the others.

Kat did not let him down either-the spiritron vein she embodied was really powerful, skyrocketing from a mere initiate to a peak vigor wielder in a day.

Being up against the thugs before would be less taxing now-she was even formidable thanks to Frank's training and the Five-Peat Archaeus.

Naturally, aside from training, Frank did not forget to take Vicky out for walks, admiring the scenery.

Vicky even called Helen just to brag, brazenly describing in vivid detail a blow-by-blow account of the fictional romp she had with Frank last night, that even Frank had to stop himself from lying. Helen was left stammering, "A-Are you just messing with me, Vicky?"

"Who knows?" Vicky flashed a mischievous smile, clearly allowing Helen's imagination to run wild.

While Helen stubbornly refused to believe Vicky, Helen sneakily called Frank at two in the morning the next day.

"What are you doing?" she demanded as soon as he answered.

"Uh… Sleeping?"

Frank was puzzled, since he was just training. "What are you doing up this late?"

"I… ahem."

Helen was suddenly stuttering, even changing the subject. "Where's Vicky? Is she there with you?"

The question reminded Frank about Vicky's cunning smile earlier in the day after calling Helen and her warning. "Darling, if Helen calls tonight to ask if I'm with you tell him I am and just fall asleep."

Frank was puzzled at that time, but he was laughing now as he realized what was happening instantly.

These ladies' rivalry was getting so fierce that Vicky could now anticipate Helen's moves!

"O-Oh, her…?"

Frank deliberately pretended to stammer, since he wanted to tease Helen just to see how she reacts. "She just fell asleep." "What…"

Frank could hear the phone dropping on the other end, but it was quickly picked up as Helen asked urgently, "But nothing happened, right?"

"Uhhhh…" Frank deliberately trailed off.

Helen was immediately panicking, even breathing heavily right then.

"I'm coming over right now!" she snapped, hanging up and clearly determined to travel to Morhen in the middle of the night.

Knowing that the joke got out of hand, Frank quickly called Helen again and explained everything Vicky did.

Helen was stumped and speechless.

"I-I hate you all!" she snapped as she hung up spitefully, leaving Frank holding his phone alone in confusion.

To think the great girlboss of Lanecorp and an ice queen at that was left sleepless just from something Vicky said, even calling to verify it.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1468-Ultimately, Helen even threw a girly tantrum that left Frank rubbing his temples.

Vicky really was Helen's worst enemy, and she was even laughing herself silly for a long while after Frank told her what had happened the next day.

She even called Helen just to tease her, though this time Frank did not stay and listen to their subsequent discussion, not interested in getting involved in the ladies' rivalry.

Two days later, a grand banquet was held in one of the ballroom of Turnbull Estate.

While Glen Turnbull was present as head of the Turnbull family, even his father George Turnbull made a rare appearance.

He was healthily flushed and energetic thanks to Frank's previous treatment and even drank a lot.

Almost all Turnbull executives, key members, and branch family leaders were gathered there too.

At the main table, Frank and Vicky were sitting on Glen's left, while on his right was a young man with an upright gait, wearing a military uniform.

He was around Frank's age, and there was an edge that gives the impression that he was military-trained.

"Haha… Allow me to introduce you, Frank."

Glen was smiling as he pointed at the youth and told Frank, "This is Rob, my eldest son. He's a lieutenant-general and secretary to General Jan Lionheart." "General Jan Lionheart?"

The last name left Frank's heart skipping a beat, and to no surprise, Rob did not take his offered handshake.

Instead, he turned toward Glen and said, "Dad, you said the South Sea Crow issued a challenge, vowing a wipe us out even if it kills her Why hasn't she shown up now?

Others were frowning at that, even asking out loud, "Yes, Mr. Turnbull. Could you have been misinformed?" "Ahem…."

Glen felt a little awkward seeing how disrespectful his son was toward Frank and quickly changed the subject.

"The challenge is real," he said solemnly. "The letter in question is sitting in my study right now-you can all confirm it yourself. Either way, the South Sea Crow is cunning and she might be lurking among us already. That's why we must be exceedingly careful."

"Hmph."

While the Turnbulls were all abuzz, Rob stood up as everyone looked on, snorting coldly while shooting Frank a look of contempt. "In that case, I have a question. I've been busy with my work in the military and missed what's happening to the family, but I've heard many reports that Frank Lawrence here pacified the South Sea Crow. So why has she returned? Don't you think you should explain yourself?"

"Yeah, we've been meaning to ask…"

"Why has the South Sea Crow returned?"

"You said she won't bother us anymore, didn't you?"

"While we're not going to take her word at face value, it's suspicious how quickly she turned against us again!"

The branch families all quickly piled on Rob's direction to question Frank, many of them whispering to each other that Frank was conspiring with the South Sea Crow.

After all, she always seemed to be on hand to threaten the Turnbulls whenever Frank needed it, which would in turn make Frank the real enemy.

As such messy speculation was heard endlessly, Vicky bellowed, "Enough!"

The entire ballroom turned silent right then.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1469-"The main family has already investigated the South Sea Crow, and the truth is out!"

Vicky continued, "She had been attacking us for years not because of Frank, but because she was conspiring with the Lionhearts! I remember informing everyone about that, so why are you still speculating pointlessly?" In fact, she had already heard of the speculations before this and knew that the branch families did not trust Frank.

That was why they joined in on Rob's questioning of Frank, and Vicky had to state concrete proof to maintain Frank's innocence so that he would not get upset.

But even as the ballroom turned silent, Rob asked quietly, "Dear cousin, weren't you originally supposed to marry Titus Lionheart, if I recall correctly?" "Yes. What about it?" Vicky replied.

She was never close with Rob since he had been away from home for years, but she could still clearly sense that Rob was prejudiced against Frank. "Well…"

Rob slowly returned to his seat, tapping his fingers on the table as he said coolly, "Perhaps you didn't want to marry Titus, so you're slandering the Lionhearts just so you could marry that manwhore instead?" "What?!" Vicky was incensed, but the sudden accusation still caught her off guard.

"Watch your mouth, Rob!"

Glen glowered as he snapped, having had enough too.

"No, Dad. Listen…"

Rob, however, did not stop, even picking up a glass of red wine and turned to Frank, asking coolly, "I was not a witness to the incident, but I have the right to question the facts, don't I? Don't you agree?" "Of course." Frank smiled in return, his conscience clear.

"Good."

Rob chugged his red wine and stepped one foot on his chair as he kept his hawkish glare on Frank. "I heard you saved the Turnbulls, when the South Sea Crow first showed up to poison the family. So tell us… why did the South Sea Crow change her mind right after you chased after her?"

While everyone else was still stumped, Rob laughed coolly.

"Here's a hint you all claimed afterward that the South Sea Crow is conspiring with the Lionhearts, but I'm curious. What power do you have that you could compel the South Sea Crow to turn against the Lionhearts and listen to some nameless pawn like you? Because of your silver tongue?"

Everyone else realized with a start-it was indeed suspicious.

Why was Frank so sure back then that the South Sea Crow would never threaten the Turnbulls again? And how did he uncover the connection between the South Sea Crow and the Lionhearts? There was no way she would just choose Frank, thereby taking up the risk of being hunted by the Lionhearts by turning against them.

How did Frank achieve that?

Even Glen was faintly puzzled at that, as that would make Frank appear suspicious.

"And now, to my second point."

Rob held up another finger. "Frank Lawrence has conspired with the South Sea Crow to kidnap Sif Lionheart, which makes it clear they were close… and then Sif was killed by Frank's people, silencing her-" "Wait."

Glen raised a hand, stopping his son.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1470-Frowning, Glen snapped, "The Lionhearts will not let it slide if our family was indirectly culpable for Sif's death. But the fact of the matter is that they never showed discontent about the matter, and it's clear that they are guilty."

"You're being naive, Dad." Rob snorted, waving him off. "General Lionheart informed me that the Lionhearts simply can't afford any mishaps at the moment, as they are in a critical juncture with Simon Lionheart on the verge of ascension. That is why Titus wasn't punished for masterminding a conspiracy, and they didn't even bother investigating Sif's death. They just can't be bothered."

Then, sighing in disappointment, he continued, "And once Simon ascends, I'm sure they would come for us Turnbulls first thing. We have been preoccupied by our infighting because of certain rogues, even losing our greatest allies over a woman, and finding our former allies now our enemies.' Rob was not hiding his accusation against Frank and Vicky at all, and the latter slammed her hand on the table as she sprang to her feet.

"Watch your mouth!" she snapped. "How dare you beguile everyone here we've long since seen through the Lionhearts' ambitions, and Titus' silence could well be an admission of his guilt. Even if he wanted to marry me, it was just to get his hand on our family's fortune, but you'd distort the truth with your nonsense?!"

"Who's distorting the truth here?!"

Rob stood up, rising to his feet and meeting Vicky's glare. "Now that I'm here, our family won't be intimidated, let alone by some wretch like the South Sea Crow!" Then, turning and waving, he barked, "Come in!"

At his bellow, the ballroom doors were immediately kicked open, and dozens of fully-armed soldiers strode in-all of them men Rob brought back home. Click!

Every soldier turned the safety of their rifles, each of them clearly seasoned and trained.

Even as the Turnbulls were left shocked, Rob was speaking smugly, "General Lionheart loaned these soldiers to me, and there are over 300 others outside. What other protection do us Turnbulls need? I alone am enough!" The soldiers all shouldered arms and saluted Rob in turn.

"Haha… Rob Turnbull really deserves to be the next head of the Turnbull family!"

"Tut, tut… Just look at the man's charisman a lot of We really would be spared f trouble if we informed ed way earlier.

On the other hand, Vicky was scowling-if Rob won here, she would be labeled a plague to the Turnbulls.

That was when Frank strode out, asking, "Did you really think guns and bullets would neutralize the threat that the South Sea Crow poses?"

"Hmmm?"

Rob flashed him a sneer of disdain. "What, are you, belittling my guns and bullets now? Draconia's traditional martial arts are just cheap tricks, and its practitionexon et are charlatans-they are all useless against real firepower. If you're that confident, why not test yourself against it personally? I heard you're a martial elite, no?"

Frank chuckled coolly despite Rob's provocation and strode straight to the middle of the ballroom. "Darling…"

Vicky tugged on his shoulder right then, looking at him worriedly.

"Don't worry."

Frank clapped a hand on hers to reassure her.

Forget guns and bullets-even bombs and artillery would not hurt him now.
