“What?!” James eximed, his expression stiffening as he turned toward Frank.


    That brat… How on earth did he be Robert’s son-inw?!


    “So you’re going to protect him at all costs?” he growled.


    “Yes,” Robert said sternly. “He’s not to be touched. Whatever you want in return, just name it


    but understand that your family will be no friend of ours from now on, nor are any weed here in


    Skywater Bay.”

    of you


    James glowered. “You’re really cutting ties with my family over Frank Lawrence? Do you really think


    that’s worth it?”


    “Absolutely.” Robert nodded. “From where I’m standing, he’s worth ten of you.”


    “Hmph!” James snorted. “Then you’ve truly underestimated me. I don’t mind telling you that I just


    expanded my business to Middleton–the powers that be of Riverton might not be able to stop us!”


    Frank and Robert both frowned, surprised that the Wesleys worked quick enough to extend their


    business to Middleton.


    After all, Middleton was a farrger state and could even be considered the heart of the country. In


    many ways, the ce was more important than Riverton.


    In fact, any Rivertonian who wanted to expand their business to Middleton needed the help of


    Middletonians.


    James smiled smugly when he saw Frank and Robert’s reactions.


    However, that was when someone bellowed, “Middleton? So what? This is Riverton! If you’re such a


    big deal, why don’t you bring your Middletonian friends over? Even they would have to abide by the


    rules here!”


    Everyone turned in surprise to find another group entering the mansion, with a man in his forties


    leading them.


    It was Kenny Sparks, master of Skyde Dojo–the strongest faction of Riverton!


    James froze in turn–why did Kennye too?!


    “What are you saying, Mr. Sparks?” he asked.


    Kenny, who lived here in Skywater Bay as well, came to take a look after spotting themotion.


    He was actually surprised to find that Frank was involved.


    Given that he was still eager to get the recipe for the Ichor Pill from Frank, he certainly would not allow


    James to kill Frank!


    “I’m saying that Mr. Lawrence is my friend,” he said, shrugging. “If you want him, you and your men


    would have to get past me first.”


    He then leveled a pointed stare of contempt at the bodyguards James brought, who were trading


    nces at his words.


    Everyone in Riverton had heard of Kenny’s abilities, especially how masterfully he wielded his de


    like it was an extra ar?n.


    These bodyguards were certainly no match for him!


    James was left clenching his knuckles and gritting his teeth–he did not think that even the master of


    Skyde Dojo would b


    on Frank’s sidel


    The Quills, the Turnbulls, and now Skyde Dojo… each of those three factions were already


    untouchable for James.


    Now that they were all backing Frank, James was even less significant inparison. To kill that man


    was virtually impossible now!


    “Fine–I will remember this,” he growled and barked at his men, “Let’s go!”


    The bodyguards promptly picked up Sean’s corpse before making themselves scarce.


    They certainly felt lucky–thank goodness their boss knew when to back down, or they would all be


    killed if they fought the Quills and Skyde Dojo right now!
