It was all Luna's fault, but she would pin the blame on Frank anyway—it was his mess that had ledthe Soranos to her doorstep, and in turn leading to her getting beaten up!

She would never believe that she earned that beating, having gotten buoyed from inheriting thebillion-dollar investment company, and hence spoke with impertinence even to some strangers.Glaring at Helen, she bellowed, "He will eventually lead all of us to our deaths as long as he stays inthe family! Renounce him if you want to retain your candidacy as next head of the Lane family!"Gina started yelling at Frank too. "Have some sense and kneel, Frank! Go to Laneville right now andexplain yourself to the Soranos—tell them that you have nothing to do with us!"

On the other hand, Fleur was not interested in idle talk and turned toward the burly bodyguardswith her. "Go, Deedle. Tie up that little shit—we'll bring him to the Soranos!"

Helen strode up right then, shielding Frank protectively behind herself. "Come at me if you have aproblem. Even if Frank did kill Hubert Sorano, my fate will be the same as his. But don't try to blamehim if he's innocent!”

"Madam Lang..."

Deedle was left scratching his head and glancing at Fleur.

"Do it! I'll take the blame if anything happens!" Fleur snapped furiously, ready to repay all previousgrievances she had toward Helen and Frank.

As long as they came quietly, their farm resort project would go up in smoke with no hope ofturning the tables.

"Oh. Hehe..." Deedle chuckled as he extended his large hand toward Helen, ready to grab her by theneck.

Frank was naturally not about to abide with that—suddenly, he was in front of Helen and caughtDeedle’s palm.

"What?!"

The Southstream Lanes were all left dumbstruck, and even Gina was stunned.

There was something different about Frank now... The man did not even appear murderous, but thegnawing fear of death she felt whenever she was in his presence was now much worse!

Luna took a step back too, aware that Frank was not one to be messed with.

"What are you doing, Deedle?! Do it!"

On the other hand, Fleur had no idea how terrible Frank could be—all she knew was that Deedleand Deedum were the best among her family's bodyguards.

They were both vigor wielders, and with their towering physique, scrawny ol’ Frank would be nomatch for them.

Hell, not even if he grew a head taller!

"Ugh..." Deedle, however, was scowling.

He was never the type who held back, and yet, Frank was holding his palm in place with a vice-likegrip.

He would cry out in pain, but his pride would never allow it!

Hence, sweat trickled down his face right then as Deedle tried to withstood the pain.

Still, Deedum could see that Deedle was on the backfoot and promptly leapt into action.

As vigor wielders, neither of them stood a chance against Frank—nhis eyes narrowing, he instantlycaught Deedum's palm as well and squeezed.

"Argh!!!" both men screamed.
