"What, do you have a problem?" Frank walked slowly toward them, his hands clasped behind his back as he said, "If you have more martial elites under your command, send them in. | can do this all day." At Frank's words, Pax realized that he was done for—what else could he say? Even Ned would concede his place as boss of the Sunblazers out of fear for Frank! Ashened face, he gave in right then. "Sure. | have no reason to refuse since you've spoken, Mr. Janko." Still, frustration and helplessness showed as Pax turned to Hux Darman and announced loudly, "From this day forth, 1, Pax Barzini, will step down as head of the Sunblazers—and Hux Darman will take my place!" Sighing, he then nodded politely at Ned. "Farewell." It was no exaggeration to say that Pax had lost everything—the Four Kings were defeated, and even Ned wasn't on his side.
Stepping down on his own was being tactful at this point, as it might be too late if someone else had to make him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWorst of all, he had made a long list of enemies during his tenure as boss of the Sunblazers, and he really should be thinking about what happened now that he had lost his power.
He promptly whipped out his phone and booked two plane tickets, ready to flee the country with whatever savings he had.
That way, at least he would get to live out his days in peace—he would not even last weeks in Draconia.
Ned nodded in turn, seeing that Pax recognized the gravity of the situation.
At the stime, no one in Sunblaze Dojo dared to speak, when Ned—the puppeteer of the entire gang—was sitting right there. Without his fostering, they would never have amounted to anything.
"I-I'm the boss?" Hux had yet to cto his senses as Pax's announcement left him dumbfounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeside him, Cid was already exclaiming in joy, "Yes, Hux! You're the boss now!" "For real? Hahaha..." Hux was roaring with laughter as he got over his disbelief and strode up to the ring.
Looking around at the crowd standing around in the dojo, he bellowed, "I, Hux Darman, am now the leader of the Sunblazers! If anyone present has something to say about that, cforward!" The Sunblazers all kept their heads lowered at Hux's words.
With Frank defeating the Four Kings and Ned showing his support for Hux, mere goons like them would never dare catch that heat! One of the smarter persons in the dojo—an underboss, hurried up to Hux just then, taking his hand and kissing it. "Mr. Darman!" "Mr. Darman!" "Mr. Darman!" By the tthe first underboss looked up, everyone else in the dojo was saluting Hux in show of fealty.
"Hahaha..." Hux had certainly been yearning for this for a long time, or he would never have braved the risk of following Frank's suggestion to challenge Pax.
Now that he had his wish, he laughed in wild delight while clapping Frank on the shoulder, speaking under his breath, "This is all thanks to you, Mr. Lawrence! The Sunblazers are yours to command from now on—no matter rain, sleet, snow, your bidding will be done. Hell, you can have my head if | even blink at your orders!" That was exactly what Frank wanted to hear—he was certainly right about Hux being a smart man.
That was when Ned cover, smiling and nodding at Hux. "Congratulations, Mr. Darman—fresh blood always inevitably surpasses the old guard, and I'm sure the Sunblazers will rise beyond under your leadership."
