Kim looked over Frank’s shoulder just then. “Did you lose all your chips, Mr. Lawrence? I still have


    some–why don’t you take mine?”


    Frank promptly threw up his hands. “I’m fine. I was just ying for fun.”


    “What are you doing here, Kim?” someone suddenly asked.


    A man in a suit had arrived, and Frank realized it was Jan upon a closer look.


    Jan in turn feigned surprise when he saw him. “Frank Lawrence? Didn’t expect to see you here.


    “Jan is the host of this party,” Kim exined.


    Frank frowned in turn–he did not know this was the Yaffe family’s turf.


    Jan turned toward Kim at that. “Come on, Kim. Let’s meet some of my other friends.”


    “No,” Kim said quietly. “I don’t know who they are anyway.”


    “Come on, you’re the main character today,” Jan pressed. “And having more friends opens more doors.


    As my future bride, there’s no harm in meeting my friends.”


    Kim nced at Frank and sighed exasperatedly. “Fine.”

    Jan turned and smiled at Frank too. “Please enjoy yourself too, Mr. Lawrence. Just ask me if there’s


    anything you need–I’ll definitely do my best to help.”


    Frank could see the ill intent in his smile.


    He had the feeling that Jan was going to mess with him already, just as he really doubted the Yaffe


    family would stop after he killed Seth and crippled Kuno’s cultivation.


    However, he was in no rush–he just had to foil whatever was thrown his way.


    He had just headed to the buffet area to get something to eat, when a pretty waitress in a dirndl


    approached him. “Excuse me, Mr. Lawrence?”


    “Yes?” Frank replied coolly.


    She smiled. “Would youe to the second floor? Mr. Yaffe would like to see you.”


    Frank chuckled coolly. “Lead the way.”


    He followed the waitress upstairs to a private room, and she smiled. “Please wait for a moment. Mr.


    Yaffe will be here soon.”


    Frank nodded and entered to find everything inside a mess, with countless expensive antiques in


    pieces.


    Frowning, he took a chair and sat down, while subtly pulling out his cellphone to turn on the voice


    recorder.


    He was actually interested to see what Jan was going to do!


    Jan hurried inside the room in under ten minutes. “I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Lawrence.”


    “Let’s skip the formalities,” Frank said nonchntly. “Out with it already.”


    Jan nodded and smiled. “How direct of you, Mr. Lawrence–in that case, I’ll just cut to the chase: the


    Earthen Dragonheart you took from the White family is very valuable to us. Would you mind parting


    with it?”


    “No.” Frank refused right away. “And if that’s all you have to ask, there’s nothing more to say between


    us.”


    Jan sprang to his feet right then and stopped him. “Hold it. We haven’t repaid you for what you did to us


    before.”


    “What?” Frank returned coolly. “It seems that you Yaffes aren’t happy… Are you going to attack me


    now?”


    Jan was gritting his teeth as he red at Frank. “I’ll admit that you’re impressive, but don’t think that’s


    enough to save you against my family and Flying Sword Sect.”
