"What?! That bastard really made it out?!"


    Soren was left stunned when he saw Frank standing on the other side of the road.


    He did not expect Frank to be fine because he never called his father, let alone ask his father to help.


    If anything, he was cursing Frank in hopes that he would die soon.


    "Are you alright?" Kat was the first one to reach Frank as everyone left the diner.


    "I''m fine." Frank nodded but soon frowned. "I told you to go home with Nash."


    "Kat''s worried you''d get killed—she had us all waiting here." A girl strode up, smiling. "We''re surprised


    you''re fine, too... It seems that Mr. Darman is in a really good mood."


    "Good mood?" Frank pursed his lips. "I''m the one in a good mood. He''d be dead if I wasn''t."


    Everyone traded looks of embarrassment at his words, with Mandy grinning. "You against Hux


    Darman? You''re joking—he''s the underboss of the Sunzers with hundreds of men under his


    command."


    "Exactly. Don''t think you get to strut just because you know how to throw a punch—keep your head


    down while you''re in Morhen, as they say."


    "You''d be dead if Soren didn''t call his father to ask a favor. You really thought you were allowed to


    leave because you can fight?"


    "And you''d even brag that Hux would be dead if not for you. Sure, we owe you thanks, but please stop


    putting on airs, okay?"


    "Yeah. It''s actually awkward for us to even listen."


    Frank paused in surprise as the boys behind Soren all started yapping at him.


    "What, this guy helped me?" Frank snorted, pointing at Soren. "First of all, the reason I can leave is


    entirely because of myself and no one else. Secondly, y''all supposed to be students, not idiots. What


    makes you think this fool—so scared he couldn''t say a word around Hux—could actually bail me out?"


    "Hey, what''s your problem?!" Mandy strode up, standing akimbo as she snapped, "Forget not thanking


    Soren for saving you, but you''re scolding him? We all saw it, he made a call!"


    "Hmph. If only we knew you''re that horrible. Kat shouldn''t have asked Soren to have helped you."


    Everyone was ring hostilely at Frank, and after things had gone that far, Soren was not about to


    confess with Kat watching.


    Bracing himself, he said, "Oh, just forget it. If he doesn''t thank me, it''s his business. I never expected


    gratitude anyway."


    While he puffed himself up to appear magnanimous, he could feel the guilt gnawing at his gut.

    Nheless, the girls including Kat were all frowning at Frank, their good impression of him vaporizing


    because they thought him ungrateful and a braggart.


    To think they were so worried about him for so long... It was disappointing.


    For his part, Frank was not bothered to argue with children.


    Stopping a cab, he turned to Kat. "Are you going home?"


    Kat nodded. "Soren, everyone—I''m going now. Let''s hang out some other day."


    Soren nodded in a gentlemanly manner, and the students left.
