Mona stood nearby awkwardly, blinking.


    "Hmm..." she mused as she nced at Frank. "Should I be hugging you too, Frank?"


    "Quit it." Frank shoved her away even as she moved up.


    Kiki was thest to arrive, clicking her tongue in wonder as she watched the otherdies chattering,


    pouting, flirting, or bawling around Frank.


    "What''s this, Trevor?" Frank asked when he saw Trevor Zurich arrive with his men.


    Trevor grinned. "It seems that they weren''t subject to any abuse—Maron might have an agenda here,


    but it was just house arrest at best. In fact, they were kept in the guest room and not the basement."


    "Yeah, don''t worry, Frank—we''re fine," Helen said with a smile.


    "What do you mean ''fine''?" Vicky folded her arms before her chest, snapping in annoyance. "I had to


    sleep in the same bed with you, and you almost knocked me off! Go on a diet, Helen!"


    "S-Shut it!" Helen blushed, retorting loudly, "You go on a diet!"


    "Tut, tut. Denying it with all that b around your belly?" Vicky reached out to pinch Helen''s stomach


    right then.


    Helen leapt away, snapping, "Stop getting all touchy! Show some dignity—you''re an heiress!"


    "I can do whatever I like!" Vicky eximed as she leapt at Helen, pulling up her shirt to show the


    others. "See? She''s gaining some belly fat, don''t you think?"


    "Let me go, Vicky!" Helen cried and struggled in embarrassment, pulling her shirt down since she could


    feel Frank''s eyes on her.


    "But Helen''s figure is just fine. There''s no belly, is there?" Mona said solemnly just then.


    "Oh, my bad. The b is around here." Vicky kept copping a feel, while Helen struggled and flushed in


    frustration.


    "Why so serious? You''re such a killjoy," Vicky giggled.


    "Well, what about you?!" Helen suddenly retaliated and groped Vicky in turn.

    As they kept tussling and exposing each other, Frank was looking on in bliss.


    "Quit gawking." Winter shot him a pouting look, suddenly not crying.


    "Ah." Frank scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.


    Either way, he was relieved that they were all fine.


    "Leave no loose ends."


    Half an hourter, Frank was standing at the gates of Szar House and instructing Trevor to deal with


    the rest, and he had someone send Quinn back to Sage Lake Sect.


    "Oh, as for him..."


    Frank pointed at Eron, who sat on the ground nearby, staring stupidly into thin air. "Deliver him to the


    White family of Southdam, and show them these."


    "Yes, Mr. Lawrence." Trevor nodded respectfully, taking the written pledges.


    Frank suddenly narrowed his eyes. "And send more people on protection detail. I don''t want another


    kidnapping ever again, you hear?"


    Trevor could feel the frightening dark aura spilling away from Frank and quickly nodded. “Yes, Mr.


    Lawrence. I''ll be more careful from now on."


    "Good." Frank nodded and started to leave but soon paused again. "Oh, and do help me look into the


    Leaf family of Norsedam."
