And now, Frank returned to White Hall to tie up loose ends with the White family.
"Aria Lond is..."
Eron was just about to say that Aria was seriously injured when the ambulance he called for arrived.
He came to his senses right then—why should he be afraid of Frank?
And now that he thought about it, Frank must have won over Bocek by paying the man a fortune, so
that Bocek would turn against him.
That was why Bocek even sent Sage Lake Sect's guild hitmen to wipe out Eron's family! Why else
would Frank return unscathed?
Moreover, Bocek told Eron that he knew too much, which only further proved him right—Frank was the
reason his family was almost massacred!
But while Eron would be scared or cowering toward Frank before, he now had Shane Tomen's support.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy should he be afraid of Frank when he was just Vicky's gigolo, and when Sage Lake Sect backed
down because the Tomens intervened?
His expression changing right then, he shoved Frank away and snapped angrily, "Why should I tell you
anything? Don't think you're smart by buying Sage Lake Sect's favor. As long as Shane Tomen is here,
you don't get to strut!"
Frank was actually surprised Eron would snap at him, though he understood enough given what Eron
said.
"Frank Lawrence from Riverton, was it?"
Just then, Shane adjusted his glasses beside Eron and regarded Frank haughtily. "So you're the one
who ordered the White family to be massacred. You'd really have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for
me."
"Who the hell are you?" Frank snorted, looking at him in disdain.
"Insolence!" Eron bellowed. "This is Shane Tomen, and your dirty tricks proved futile in the face of his
family's power! Don't think being Vicky Turnbull's gigolo and befriending Sage Lake Sect keeps you out
of harm's way. Leave right now before Shane here decides that you should be punished!"
"How low can you sink, Eron White?" Frank chuckled in disdain despite himself, seeing Shane's smug
look. "Forget getting into bed with Sage Lake Sect—I only spared your family for your daughter's sake.
And yet, you're still too blind to see any of it and behaving so rudely toward me?"
Wheeling on Shane and pointing at him, he snapped, "Why don't you ask this one who was the one
who actually saved your family?"
Shane was at once embarrassed and furious. "What, are you saying it's you? Who do you think you
are? You're just Vicky Turnbull's gigolo, and now you'd try to seduce Kim with the same cheap moves.
How embarrassing!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Care to repeat that?" Frank suddenly strode forward, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Shane promptly flinched and leapt backward, snapping, "What do you think you're doing?!"
Eron bellowed in turn, "How dare you be rude to my guest! Guards, beat up this moron and throw him
out of my house!"
Frank watched as the guards crowded around them. Still, just as he was ready to straighten out every
last one of those blind fools, Kim snapped from the distance, "All of you stop!"
Everyone turned to find Kim dressed in a black mourning dress, with a pale-faced Liv Dawson in tow.
As Kim walked up to Frank, she nodded at him before wheeling on Eron, her eyes impassive as she
spoke coolly, "Grandfather's last words was for me to take over as head of the family. As such, you
don't get to tell my guest to leave... Eron."
"Eron...?" Eron stared at her, aghast.
