However, neither Mel nor Matis expected Kat to have beca martial artist, and one with formidable strength despite her tiny frame.
And the so-called Master Lawrence-sboastful, unseemly guest-was a martial artist too.

Mel was reeling too, but she kept it to herself as she hurried after her son.
Catching up to him in the hallway, she asked in clear frustration, "Matis... What are we going to do? Are we just going to let this slide?!" "Of course not, Mom-just calm down for a moment." Matis sneered darkly. "This was never a problem. I'll call more people right now... they might be martial artists, but no matter how good they are, can they really handle a hundred men?! Mel grinned smugly in turn. "That's my son for you. Go on-make the call." "Yeah!" Matis nodded, whipped out his phone, and dialed a number.
Before the call was answered, however, he heard the commotion down the hallway.

They are all from the Sorano family-key members and retainers at that!" "What?! They're from the Sorano family?!" It was the first tMel had ever seen such a profound sight. They were a large group of men, with people-clearing the path up front, and bigwigs wearing shades or hats from the back.

was biting into a mouthguard in clea anguish. He kept grunting and groaning, clearly fighting it. S As the group approached, Matis had an idea and hurried to his boss with a fawning smile. "Lobo, Lobo? Hey, it's me, Matis!" "Matis?" Lobo turned in surprise toward Matis, frowning as he asked, "What are you doing here in Loggins Apothecary?" "Oh, nothing much... It's your birthday, isn't it? See, I already bought you a gift but I was robbed in broad daylight right here. And it's a martial artist..." Matis lied unabashedly, tically shaking his head and sighing. "The five bodyguards I brought were all beaten up... I would've been hurt too, but I got away quickly." S Lobo frowned. "Really? Did you tell him who you are?" Matis could barely hide his inward glee even as Frank's face cto mind.
