Getting himself a chair and sitting down, Hux continued, "See, I came into this life to seek positionand money, not to satisfy some mindless gratification. I'm no longer a greenhorn like you—I'mdone staking my life for anything, and that's how I reached where I am now.

"These days, if there's something I want, I'd use this," he said, tapping his head before holding upand brandishing a knuckle, "instead of this. So, are you interested, kid?"

"Sounds intriguing...” Frank rubbed his chin, while thinking to himself that Morhen's mobsterscertainly were different from Riverton's—they could at least see the big picture.

"In that case, I'll be frank.” He chuckled. "I sent those students away because I didn't want to bedistracted, but because I'm ready to clean the house. But since what you offered intrigued me, Ichanged my mind."

The hint of murderous intent in his smile left Hux stiffening, and his heart skipped a beat whilecursing under his breath.

Still, he knew he was lucky not to push Frank's buttons given how much of a greenhorn he was."Ahem..."

Feigning composure, he nodded and said, "So, that means you're joining my gang? Good, at leastyou have a brain—"

"Nope." Frank shook his head. "I really don't care about joining your gang. I'm just interested in theSunblazers."

"What? What are you talking about?" Hux was confused—Frank was interested, but not in joining?"Like you said, I'm not from here," Frank said quietly. "And being unfamiliar with the place, I wouldneed some assistance—the Sunblazers would suit me just fine."

Hux was left stunned. "Wait, you're saying you want to be the boss?!"

"Like I said, I'm not interested in joining your gang.” Frank smiled, shaking his head before pointingat Hux. "But you're an interested party, yes?"

"You're saying..."

Even as Frank's suggestion dawned on Hux, Frank finished, "I'll help you claim leadership over theSunblazers."

Though everyone stared at Frank in disbelief for a moment, Cid had enough and leapt up, pointingat Frank's face as he snapped, "Shut up! My brother is at best the underboss—do you even knowhow powerful the boss is?! And you're saying you're usurping his place? Dream on!"

In contrast, Hux took a deep breath before speaking quietly. "Kid, do you understand how big weSunblazers are? We rank among the top even in Morhen, while you have neither position norconnections. How would you usurp the boss? Just because you can fight? You must be joking.""Actually, you've got the right idea.” Frank chuckled. "I can fight, and I'm very good at it. So good, infact, that your boss would tamely yield his place.”

With that, he stamped his foot on the floor—the entire karaoke bar shook as if in an earthquake,rumbling as light bulbs fell and shattered on the floor into pieces.

When Hux and Cid looked down, they found themselves staring at a bottomless ravine thatextended all the way to the door.

The sight alone left them stupefied!
