Nash was certainly a treat, not retaliating after his own daughter flipped out on him

Even as Soren smiled, his contempt for Kat was flaring inside.

"Alright. I'm counting on you." Nash forced a smile and nodded at Frank.

"That's them! Surround those brats right now!" Someone suddenly bellowed from the hallway justas they were about to leave. Cid had returned, with over thirty men following them inside.

They were certainly a menacing sight as they charged in, machetes in hand.

The students’ faces fell and panic took over—they would never win against these bloodthirstygoons!

"Wait!" Soren strode up imposingly nonetheless. "I'm warning you—this is Mr. Darman’s turf, andmy dad is friends with him. Lay a finger on us, and you'll get yourself killed!"

"Shit, did you just threaten me?" Cid slapped Soren across the face right then. "So what?! I'm hisbrother, y'know!"

The room turned silent right then, everyone save for Frank left shocked by the sudden revelation.Soren especially froze up, his face turning pale.

He did not expect that some vulgar youth in a suit was a big shot—and Hux's brother to boot!

In contrast, his father was not exactly close with Hux, and it went without saying who between hisfather and Cid was higher on the pecking order.

Soren had undoubtedly shot himself in the foot!

"Weren't you being full of yourself just now, kid?! You even threatened to break my legs—why don'tyou say it again?!"

Cid seized Soren by the collar, slapped him twice, and floored him, kicking him repeatedly even ashe bellowed, "Meddling in my business?! You're fucking asking for it!"

Through it all, Soren was clutching his head and gritting his teeth as he withstood the pain, afraid tosay a word.

It was embarrassing, but surviving was more important—the only thing to do at this point was tobear with it.

"Bunch of suckling brats, fucking around with me. The insolence! Just see what I'm doing to younow!" Cid bellowed, brandishing a machete while shrieking, "Get down on your knees! Anyone whoargues, cut off their arm!"

"You heard him. Kneel!"

"Kneel!"

The goons around them growled menacingly, even aiming their machetes at the students’ necks.They had certainly never been through such an ordeal, and each of them were trembling as theyknelt.

They were just students—they would never have the balls to fight these bloodthirsty goons

That was when one of the goons noticed Frank standing in a corner nonchalantly and strode up toshove him. "Hey, why aren't you kneeling?!"

"Oh, you made a mistake here." Frank shrugged and smiled. "I'm just here to watch. I don't evenknow these brats.”
