Even as they dragged him off to the basement stockade, he screamed, "Please save me, Ms. Lionheart! They're going to kill me!" "Ned Janko, | demand you release Yed this instant!" Sif bellowed at Ned loftily right then.
"No." Ned shook his head, his tone neutral. "I refuse. And what are you going to do about it? Attackon my family's turf?" "Better think about what you're doing," Sif growled impatiently in return.
Ned was always a loser whom everyone could bully—how did he becso authoritative in just a few days, even daring to stand up to her?! "There's no need to think, Ms. Lionheart." Ned held her gaze in turn. "I'm now asking you to leave my house.

We're not receiving guests at the moment." "What if | refuse?" Sif asked quietly.
"Then | will have to remove you by force!" Ned bellowed. "Uncle Lothar! Retainers! Escort them out of here?!" "Con if you dare!" Sif bellowed in turn as she strode forward. "Ciril Janko's death is assured, and disrespectagain, and I'll make sure everyone hears about it! Every enemy you've ever made will soon be at your doorstep... I'm sure | don't need to elaborate further?" "And how do you know about Ciril?!" Lothar barked, shaking with rage.
Ned snorted in turn. "Hah! Yed was gloating all about it, Uncle Lothar—he sold us all out to the Lionhearts! Ms.
Lionheart is here to eliminate you and the loyal retainers, and they would have won if not for Mr. Lawrence's interference!" Lothar was positively apoplectic upon hearing Ned's words.

Lothar shrugged, sneering as he pointed at Frank, "This is Mr. Lawrence. He saved my brother from the brink of death, and it was him who exposed Yed's wretched conspiracy. Ask him all you want if you doubt us." "Mr. Lawrence? Never heard of." Sif trailed off when she turned and saw Frank standing there, impassive. "You?!" Ned noticed Sif's agitation right then and quickly asked, "What, you've met before, Mr. Lawrence?" "Yep, once." Frank nodded.
"Once, you say?!" Sif could blow up from sheer rage when she heard Frank's nonchalant tone!

It was fortunate they had Hundred Bane Sect's help to hasten its growth, or she would have lost even more money in terms of value! Sif certainly did not expect to see him here in Janko Gardens in the middle of Morhen.
She could barely stay sane even as her fury flared.
But not only did the bastard refuse to apologize, he was even pointing at her accusingly. I'm sure Yed Janko got the poison he used on his father from you, didn't he... Ms. Lionheart?" "So what if | did?!" Sif bellowed.
