Gerry felt terror from the bottom of his heart.

Frank was not joking-he would really kill him!

"How dare you, Frank!"

Stella strode up between her boyfriend and Frank, smirking. "You sure talk big, but look around my family's martial artists are standing all around you! You're the one who's going down!" "Oh, really?"

Frank chuckled sinisterly. "Care to test that theory?"

"You prick! You really won't give up, huh?! Go, take him down and skin him!"

At Stella's bellow, the martial artists around Frank leaped toward Frank, ready to attack him with their martial techniques.

Terrified, the Lanecorp employees fled the lobby.

"It's your fault for messing with Ms. Favoni, brat! Now, you can watch while we skin you!"

The Favonis' martial artists actually proved to be skilled-unlike other martial artists Frank encountered before, the Favoni were serious about grooming them with their resources. Every individual movement and positioning was planned and executed perfectly, and they quickly cut off all escape for Frank.

"Mr. Lawrence! Run! They are all martial artists!" one of the maimed security guards shouted at Frank from the floor.

Stella laughed coldly in turn. "Run? Too late!"

The martial artists she brought were all Birthright rank or vigor wielders trained by her family, and even an Ascendant rank would have trouble against them.

However, Frank simply watched as the men closed in with their martial techniques, showing no intention to run.

They would take down Lanecorp if he did, bathing the building in blood-the Favoni martial artists were the type who could kill without batting an eye.

"Five-Peat Archaeus!" he barked, pure vigor flowing throughout his body as he projected a subtle circle of protective vigor.

Clang!

The machete of one of the Favoni martial artists struck Frank's neck with an audible metallic clang.

"What?!" he exclaimed, disbelief showing all over his face.

After all, he had expected to spill blood, and he had even held back just to keep Frank alive long enough to skin him!

Naturally, the other Favoni martial artists ran into the same problem too, their fists and whatever weapons they wielded proving ineffective even as they struck Frank. Even as a foreboding sensation gripped them, they mustard themselves, ready to go all out...

"Hah!!!"

But at the next instant, Frank bellowed so loudly a shockwave erupted, knocking the Favoni martial artists away.

"What?!"

They had certainly never encountered such a sight before, and they could actually see the contempt in Frank's eyes even as they were sent flying.

"Is that all you have?"

Even as everyone heard that scoff of disdain, the leader of the Favoni martial artists stuttered, "I..."

Still, before he could catch his balance and strike Frank with everything he had, Frank was suddenly in front of him like a ghost!
