Even someone like Burt had to stop and think because these bodyguards served the Lionhearts.


    However, Frank simply sped his palm over Helen''s eyes and snapped a single, icy word. "Death!"


    Burt''s face contorted with savagery at Frank''s orders, since it meant there was nothing to worry about


    now.


    He swung his sword stylishly, releasing a dance of phantoms.


    Even before the Lionhearts'' bodyguards could react, they fell to the floor, bleeding rivers as their limbs


    were all sent flying and scattering all over.

    "What?! Burt is Birthright rank... Has he improved that far?!"


    There was no shortage of martial elites among the guests who remained, and some even recognized


    Burt.


    However, they were all stunned to see Burt release streaks of his pure vigor!


    "Birthright rank?!"


    Even the Graves family''s martial elites were faltering when they heard that.


    Burt''s fame for his ferocity was certainly deserved, dismembering five men in a split second and


    leaving them screaming!


    It was a scene of horror!


    Chaz''s eyes went red as he could see that his men were ready to bail, and he promptly yelled, "Don''t


    you dare run away! Go!"


    Having no choice, the Graves'' bodyguards gritted their teeth and charged.


    Burt remained impassive as he cut them down, dyeing the hall that was once joyous and lively into a


    horrific red.


    "Hmph!" Burt snorted coolly as he leapt lightly off the stage, reaching Chaz instantly and holding the tip


    of his sword against his throat.


    One false move, and Chaz would drop dead.


    Chaz turned pale, but he did not move in fear that Burt would slit his throat.


    "You''re crazy!" Gina shrieked as she turned pale too. "Helen, tell him to let Mr. Graves go!"


    Helen simply snorted as she kept clinging to Frank, and Gina had no choice but to wheel on Frank.


    "Frank! Let go of Mr. Graves, or my family and you''ll all die if the Lionheartse after us!"


    "Exactly." Chaz''s eyes shed in fury and embarrassment even as he red at Frank and grinned.


    "You''re a dead man if you hurt me! Titus Lionheart will never forgive you!"


    "You put it as if Titus would spare me if I stayed my hand," Frank retorted.


    Chaz stiffened right then and suddenly shrieked, "No! Don''t kill me!"


    Then, turning toward a discreet corner below stage, he bellowed, "Neil Turnbull! Get out here already!


    Are you just going to watch as he kills me?!"


    "Neil Turnbull...?"''


    Frank was actually taken aback, though he soon remembered Jaud White''s story and understood.


    Neil must have been here, waiting until Titus Lionheart arrived.


    Since he was a key figure in the Turnbull family, he just had to show up and use Frank of having an


    affair with Vicky.


    After that, Titus would kill Frank and then bring Vicky back to Morhen, while Neil would take over


    Grande Pharma effortlessly. At that point, he just had to work with the Szars to establish a


    chokehold in Riverton with the Beauty Pill and the Revitalization Pill.


    They certainly had this all panned out!


    As Neil eventually braced himself and emerged from hiding, he snapped, "I''m surprised you actually


    came, Frank Lawrence!"
